“Sir…” Lin Yanyan coughed softly twice and paused for a moment before she continued, “Old Madame asked Xiaomin to pa.s.s a message. She said that since the child has been raised by the Mo family for such a long time, she couldn’t bear to part with the child and send him to either the Cheng family nor Xia Yuwei, so she proposed raising him as your adopted son. What do you think?” She asked apprehensively and didn’t dare to look at his expression.

She guessed that he must be in a lot of pain when he found out that the child whom he had raised and loved for such a long period of time was not his biological son. No one would be able to take such a blow.

Mo Yixuan turned to face her and despite his best efforts to control his expression, his pain and conflicting emotions were still written all over his face.

His lips were tightly pursed and his gaze never left the child who he had poured out all his affection on but wasn’t his biological son.

Mo Ye stretched out his tiny hands when he saw that his father’s gaze was on him, hoping to be held.

“Pa pa…” He said softly with a small pout, unable to understand why his father wouldn’t hold him. Usually, his father would definitely carry him the moment he stretched out his hands.

Mo Yixuan sighed in resignation and before he knew it, his hands had already reached out to carry the child.

Although this child was not his biological son, he had raised and doted on this child for such a long time, so he couldn’t bear to throw this child away just like how his mother felt. Furthermore, why should he let the Cheng family have their way?

The moment Mo Ye was held by his father, he stopped crying and wrapped his arms around his father’s neck. His chubby body rested against his father quietly and he looked very well-behaved.

He bit his lips and blinked at his father, not daring to cry nor throw a tantrum.

Mo Yixuan carried the child for a while but didn’t say a word, neither did he try to soothe the child. He simply carried him and looked listlessly at the road outside the window, as though he had lost all direction in life.

He returned the child to Lin Yanyan and said calmly, “We’ll continue to raise the child at the Mo family as if he’s our adopted son. I’ll get someone to hire a nanny who has experience in mothering to look after the child. It’s been hard on your these few days.”

Then, he turned around.

Lin Yanyan quickly nodded and happiness filled her heart.

She was finally relieved of her duty to care for this noisy and sulky child. She only hoped that Mo Yixuan would be able to hire a nanny soon. If she could make a wish, she hoped that he would be able to hire one the very next day.

Mo Yixuan turned to climb up the stairs.

The house looked exactly the same but his family was no longer the same and his house had lost its original warmth.

He opened the door to his large bedroom and despite all the furniture and decorations that were placed in the room, it still felt very empty, just like how he was feeling right now – completely empty.

He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes tightly as though he didn’t want to look at anything in the room.

This used to be a room for two people but now it was just a room for one. He felt a sense of coldness in the room.

At this point in time, he didn’t know what else he could do but to hate himself for his past actions. He had broken up the warm family he once had and now, it no longer resembled a home.

Yan Yan, if only you could come home.

Mo Yixuan looked at the empty bed and for some reason, he particularly missed her. He thought of how he used to be able to see her each time he came home and how she would wait up for him no matter how late it would be.

He suddenly wanted to break up her marriage with Ye Hao and hoped that Ye Hao would abandon Yan Yan or he would cheat and fall in love with someone else. He even hoped that Yan Yan’s child couldn’t be safely delivered. Then, they could have a chance to start anew.
