Chapter 934: He Finally Found Her (1)
He Xiyan walked out of the police station and started the application process to reclaim her ident.i.ty.
This was her fourth day back at Ye City and she had been busy for the past four days.
She moved back to a residential area of Zixin garden that was north of Ye City. Although it was a rented apartment, she had added many new furniture, electronics, and many potted plants, so the room seemed roomy and elegant after she had given it a new lease of life.
She returned to her apartment where it was so quiet that it seemed unnaturally still.
She was already thirty years of age but she was still alone.
She had arrived in this city all alone 12 years ago and 12 years later, she was still alone in this big city.
He Xiyan laid on the sofa and gently shut her lips. Her faint pink lips seemed slightly dry and she was exhausted so she took a nap before she had dinner.
The light from the colored lamp seemed a little dazzling and made her complexion seem even more pale than before.
She drifted off to sleep for three to four hours, until sharp knocks suddenly sounded at their door.
She reacted to the sound and turned around but she did not make any move to hop out of the sofa.
She only got out of the sofa as the knocking sounds became louder and interrupted her sleep.
“Who is it?” He Xiyan asked loudly as she moved toward the door.
She had just moved to this apartment and she hadn’t told anyone else where she was staying other than the policeman who asked her to leave her address on a form when she had gone to reinstate her ident.i.ty the day before.
It was already 9PM, so she couldn’t understand who would be at the door.
“Who’s that?” she asked again when her previous question went unanswered.
Her visitor finally spoke.
“Yan Yan, Yan Yan, are you there?”
Boom…
He Xiyan stiffened and it seemed as though she had been pinned to the spot. She frowned and soon, annoyance crossed her face.
She ignored her visitor but bit her lips so hard that her parched lips soon started to bleed.
She recognized the voice that rang out from the opposite end of the door.
It was none other than her ex-husband Ye Hao.
She hadn’t expected him to be able to find her this quickly.
“Yan Yan, open up,” Ye Hao yelled. His heart raced and his face was completely red from excitement.
He was so overcome with excitement that he found himself going breathless each time he remembered that Yan Yan was still alive.
Yan Yan did not respond but she took a few more steps forward and switched on the electronic screen. There were security cameras installed at the door, so she could see who her visitor was.
Her ex-husband whom she had not seen for the past three years appeared on screen. He was still as handsome as ever with deep-set eyes and a sharp nose. He looked a little thinner than before and wrinkles had appeared at the corners of his eyes.
He was going to hit 35 years of age. He Xiyan recalled that he was born in 1990 and it was already 2025.
Then again, she was already 30 years old.
She sniffed and became a little choked up.
Her feelings for him had already worn thin because of their endless arguments and conflicts but each time she recalled their shared past she felt a dull pain in her heart.
She remembered the first time she saw him; he had been handsome and gentlemanly and always smiled politely at her. He had lent her a helping hand when she had been at her weakest.
