Chapter 586: Your Son or Your Family?

Ye Hao glanced at Xi Xi who was snuggled in her nursemaid’s arms and even when he saw that she had fallen asleep, he did not reach out to take her from her nursemaid’s embrace but merely coughed in irritation and did not respond.

He turned around and stood on the spot for a long moment before he walked over to the balcony. He looked at her familiar back view and saw that the moonlight had cast a long shadow over her figure. She sat there as motionless as a statue.

She hadn’t even noticed that he was just standing several meters behind here.

“Have you made your decision?” Ye Hao suddenly asked after some thought.

His voice was as icy as ever.

He walked toward her and his eyes, bloodshot due to the lack of sleep, bore into He Xiyan.

He Xiyan heard the voice behind her and bit her lips tightly, the bitterness that she felt in her heart slowly spread all over her body while her eyes were filled with despair.

“I’m asking you, have you made your decision?” Ye Hao said angrily and grew even more upset when he saw how reluctant she was to speak.

He reached out, gripped her face, and forced her to face him.

He Xiyan’s heart was filled with hopelessness as she looked into his eyes that blazed with anger and only replied in a small voice after a while, “What do you want me to decide? Shall I leave?” she said through gritted teeth and her eyes that had taken some time for their tears to be swept away by the wind were filled with tears once again.

She had not forgotten what he had told her that afternoon. He said that she should get out of the castle if she could not cut off ties with Yuan Yuan.

Ye Hao was livid and his grip tightened on her chin as though he was trying to sink his fingers into her throat while his face turned purple with rage as he bellowed, “Don’t you dare burst into tears again, He Xiyan!”

There was a sharp warning in his voice and he became even more upset when he saw the tears in her eyes, as though he had been the one who had wronged her.

“You should take some time to think about it. Do you want your son or the family we’ve built together? If you’d like to remain part of this family, you should give up your son and cut off all ties with the Mo family but if you can’t do that, you should leave right now!”

Ye Hao’s voice grew louder and he practically eked out the last part of his sentence through gritted teeth. After he spent the entire afternoon thinking through things, he finally realized that as long as this woman could not cut ties with Yuan Yuan, they would never have a day of peace. He had to force her to make a decision, even if she didn’t want to make a choice, he would force her to do it. He was tired of dealing with this and no longer wanted to be affected by such an upsetting matter. He even came to the conclusion that this woman did not love him enough, for if she truly loved him, she would never have made such a decision.

There was no need for him to continue living with a woman who didn’t love him.

He Xiyan wiped at the corners of her eyes and felt that her heart had stopped when Ye Hao made such a statement earlier. She looked at her husband, a man that she had known for more than two years but at the same time, after spending more than two years with him, she still had not formed a complete understanding of.

She remembered that when they had first met, he seemed like a perfect gentleman and recalled how well he had treated her when she was pregnant with Yuan Yuan. She didn’t have anyone to rely on back then, so she remembered all the kindness that heh ad showered on her. He had even brought Yuan Yuan to live with them in this castle and she a.s.sumed that they had embarked on a new and promising life together.

She would have never expected things to turn out this way and would have never imagined that he would one day treat her so coldly.

As for the decision that he was forcing her to make, it was the equivalent of asking her if she’d like to chop off her right hand or her left hand.
