The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 970 - You Should Head Back

Chapter 970: You Should Head Back

Chen Jiahang felt as though his heart was being torn apart. He couldn’t believe that Yan Yan’s experiences had caused her not to place her trust in anyone else, including him.

He Xiyan rose to her feet and picked up her bag. Her face looked slightly flushed under the light because she was feeling emotional and a little sad.

“Jiahang…” He Xiyan said as she patted his shoulder. Then, she heaved a loud sigh and said, ‘You should head back and start life anew with your ex-girlfriend. She is the woman who is most suited for you. There’s no need to worry about me. I’ve tried to kill myself once so I wouldn’t make the same mistake again. All I want is to live with my two children and raise them well. I don’t have faith in love any longer.”

He Xiyan turned away and walked out of the restaurant without a second’s hesitation.

She knew that Jiahang was just behind her but she didn’t turn back.

She couldn’t turn back because there was no turning back in the path that she had chosen to take.

“Yan Yan, I’ll send you back to the castle,” Jiahang said. He knew that he couldn’t get through to her so he stopped trying to convince her. Since she refused to place her trust in men, he would use his actions to prove that he could be trusted. He would let her regain her trust in men.

It was 10 PM by the time He Xiyan returned home. Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi had already retired for the night. They each slept on a tiny bed.

Yuan Yuan was very well-behaved and his blankets were tucked neatly around him. He lay on his back and slept soundly. However, Xi Xi was the exact opposite. She curled up in bed like a shrimp and she had already kicked her blankets down to her stomach, so her chest was completely uncovered.

He Xiyan pulled up Xi Xi’s blankets and placed a hand on her daughter’s forehead to check on her temperature.

She only rose to her feet after she was sure that her daughter wasn’t running a fever.

Then, she heard someone knocking on the door. She turned to see Qin Xiaoyu standing outside.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Yu?” she asked as she gently shut the door.

“Mr. Ye came by earlier,” Qin Xiaoyu said.

He Xiyan suddenly frowned. She obviously knew whom Qin Xiaoyu was referring to.

“What was he doing here?” she asked.

Qin Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. He came over to have a private word with Xi Xi, so I don’t know what he told her either.”

Qin Xiaoyu reported truthfully. She truly hoped that Ms. He could get back together with Mr. Ye but she knew that Han Xue would not give up without a fight.

He Xiyan asked, “Did you notice Xi Xi behaving strangely after he left?”

He Xiyan couldn’t figure out what Ye Hao was doing here since he had already moved all his belongings away.

Qin Xiaoyu scratched her head and thought for a moment before she said, “Xi Xi seemed very happy after he left. She was more excited than usual.”

“Oh…so there wasn’t anything else?” He Xiyan asked.

Qin Xiaoyu nodded. This was all she could remember.

“Alright, Xiaoyu, you should be turning in too since it is getting late,” He Xiyan said as she patted Qin Xiaoyu’s shoulder.

He Xiyan thought that she ought to address this issue based on what Xiaoyu had informed her. The castle used to belong to Ye Hao and thus, those who were employed at the castle would let him in whenever he came.

However, this was now her’s and her children’s residence. She didn’t mind him visiting his child but she didn’t want him to come and go as he pleased.

She didn’t want others to get the wrong impression about their relations.h.i.+p, neither did she want the media to catch wind of this and write nonsensical articles.

She didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
