Chapter 1097: He’s My Child’s Father
He looked at his watch and saw that it was 6:35 AM. The sky was already bright because it was summer.
Ye Hao glanced at this short mudhouse.
The white coat of paint on the walls looked like it had only been painted in the past two years. He guessed that Yan Yan must have used her hard-earned money to decorate this house. This house must have originally looked very shabby and not fit to live in.
He stretched out his hand and knocked hard against the wooden door.
When he didn’t hear any movement in the house, he smacked at the door with his bare hands and beat loudly against the door.
Chen Jiahang who had only just fallen asleep was awakened by the noise.
“Who is it?” Chen Jiahang sat up from the bed and frowned. His confusion was reflected in his eyes.
He didn’t expect any visitors this early in the morning.
He Xiyan had already clambered off the bed and wore her slippers.
She heard someone knocking loudly against the door but she didn’t hear anyone calling for Jiahang thereafter. Normally, the villagers would loudly call for Jiahang after knocking against the door but the visitor outside only kept beating against the door without calling for Jiahang.
She frowned then she looked shocked when she guessed who the visitor could be.
Which one of her ex-husbands was it?
She walked out to the living room. Jiahang had also just opened the door to his room. He was still getting dressed and was in the midst of b.u.t.toning the b.u.t.tons of his s.h.i.+rt.
They looked at each other and saw the exhaustion on each other’s faces. This was especially so for He Xiyan. Her eyes were completely swollen because of how hard she had been crying last night.
Chen Jiahang felt his heart clench and he felt terrible when he saw how haggard she looked.
The knocking started again and soon, they heard someone shout, “Chen Jiahang, Chen Jiahang, open up!”
It was Ye Hao.
His news was outdated, so he thought that Chen Jiahang was a fool and a mute.
“Who’s that?” Chen Jiahang frowned but he didn’t move to open the door.
This voice sounded very unfamiliar to him, so he didn’t think that he knew this person.
He Xiyan turned away and closed her eyes. Then, she let out a loud sigh.
She could tell that it was Ye Hao; this voice was all too familiar to her.
She paused for a moment before she walked up to Jiahang and shook her head. “I’ll open the door. It is my child’s father,” she said.
She addressed Ye Hao as the father of her child.
Chen Jiahang paused and his hands curled into fists before he knew it. His face hardened.
He Xiyan noticed that Jiahang seemed very angry, so she quickly went up and gently patted his arm. “Jiahang, calm down. He wouldn’t do anything to me; he’s just here to look for me,” she said.
Then, she slowly walked toward the door.
She knew that Ye Hao must have heard from their daughter Xi Xi that she wasn’t in the castle and ended up making the trip here.
He kept pestering her like a lunatic.
She shook her head in disbelief and opened the door.
Creak…
The door opened.
The man who stood outside the door looked like he had come looking for a fight. His face was completely red and his hands were curled into fists.
“Ye…” He Xiyan started but Ye Hao ignored her and strode into the house. Then, he walked right up to Chen Jiahang.
These two men stared at each other angrily. One looked like he was bursting with anger while the other seemed annoyed.
Chen Jiahang’s brows slammed into a deep frown and there was a trace of violence in his solemn face.
He suddenly pursed his lips into a smile and stared coldly at Ye Hao.
