Chapter 929: Her Next Move

He Xiyan gently touched Xi Xi’s face, then she took out an exquisite gift box from her bag and took out a lovely bracelet from the box. The bracelet wasn’t very expensive. It was made of platinum and encrusted with two pink stones shaped like two b.u.t.terflies and matched Xi Xi’s clothes perfectly.

“Thanks, mom,” Xi Xi smiled happily and two faint dimples appeared on her cheeks.

He Xiyan helped her daughter wear this bracelet. She had just purchased the bracelet today because she didn’t have time to prepare any gifts for her daughter since she just arrived at Ye City.

“Xi Xi…” He Xiyan stroked her daughter’s face tenderly as she said, “I’ll have to go now but I’ll come back a few days later to pick you up and whip up something delicious for you.”

He Xiyan remembered that her daughter was unwilling to eat food that was cooked outside, so she decided that she would personally cook the most delicious snacks for her daughter after she found a place to stay.

“Really?” Xi Xi asked as she c.o.c.ked her head to look at her mother. For some reason, she was afraid that her mother would renege on her promises.

“Of course,” He Xiyan said with a smile. She realized that her daughter didn’t seem to trust strangers easily, unlike most four-year-olds.

“Alright, then I’ll wait for you to come back,” Xi Xi said with a laugh. It was a long time since she last laughed so happily. Then, she glanced at her grandmother and the detestable Aunty Han.

Humph, she would bring her mother back to the castle one day and kick Aunty Han and Ye Chenyu out.

He Xiyan couldn’t help but give her daughter a quick peck. Then, she looked at her watch and realized that Ye Hao had probably knocked off work but she didn’t want to see him at all. She might have to meet him in person one day but for now, she did not wish to see him.

She rose to her feet and smiled but she did not bid Xia Jingshu and Han Xue farewell before she turned away.

“Bye, mom,” Xi Xi quickly stretched out her hand and waved vigorously at her mom.

He Xiyan waved back and her reluctance to part and happiness were written all over her face.

“I’ll come for you in a few days,” she repeated her earlier promise.

She had only spent some time with Xi Xi but these few moments were enough for her to sense that this child seemed very insecure.

She guessed that Han Xue did not really care for Xi Xi and this was also probably the case with Ye Hao as well. Otherwise, why would her daughter grow up to be such a sensitive child?

He Xiyan bit her lip and came to a decision.

She would not fear anything for the sake of her children.

She hopped into another cab and this cab soon drove her out of the castle and headed back to her hotel. She kept her head bowed low the entire journey and kept thinking about her daughter’s face, her sweet voice when she called her ‘mom’, her tiny hands balled angrily into fists, and the hope in her eyes when she bid her farewell.

She didn’t notice another car speeding past the taxi in the opposite direction. If she did, she would have noticed that the driver of this car was a man who was once very familiar to her.

Ye Hao drove like a madman and ignored all traffic signals as he drove home at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour. He still had meetings scheduled but when he heard the news from one of the maids at home, he rushed out of the office and canceled his meetings.

His face was flushed red and even his eyes were bloodshot. He was so overcome with emotion that he even started to cry.
