He Xiyan finally relaxed when she saw him take his medication. It was winter and the temperatures had dropped drastically recently, so it was easy to catch a cold in such conditions. Moreover, he had already shown symptoms of a flu bug the day before.
“Hubby, why don’t you head to bed and get some rest first? You could deal with work tomorrow,” He Xiyan said as she gripped his hand tightly and her eyes were full of concern when she looked at him.
He had never shown her his vulnerable side and this was the case even when he was sick.
Ye Hao turned off the lights in the study and followed her out of the room.
He spotted the tiny figure on the bed as he walked toward the bedside.
The child was fast asleep and his breathing was even.
He Xiyan walked over and looked at her child, then at Ye Hao as she said, “I went to visit Yuan Yuan today and brought him over for the night. I wanted to spend some time with him over the weekend and the Mo family will send someone to take him back tomorrow evening.”
Her voice was calm and she had not planned on hiding anything from him. The child on the bed was hers and this was her closest relative that she loved as much as life itself. It was impossible for her to cut off all contact from her own child, and she couldn’t stop herself from missing him, nor could she stop visiting him.
She thought that he would be able to empathize with her predicament and she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it even if he didn’t empathize with her.
Ye Hao stood by the bedside and the light cast a long shadow on the ground when it fell upon his tall figure. He didn’t speak and merely stared at Yuan Yuan. It seemed as though a layer of mist had covered his amber eyes.
“You should get some rest today,” He Xiyan said as she lifted the other corner of the blanket.
He Xiyan noticed that his gaze was fixed on Yuan Yuan but she couldn’t understand what he was thinking. She also knew that he didn’t like Yuan Yuan very much because after Yuan Yuan went over to the Mo mansion, he hardly ever mentioned the child in front of her, neither did he ask about Yuan Yuan. When she spoke to her child via video calls, he hardly ever interacted with Yuan Yuan too.
She only realized after Yuan Yuan went over to the Mo family that Yuan Yuan was not part of the Ye family and would never be able to win the favor of the Ye family, including her own husband.
Ye Hao’s lips pursed slightly but he didn’t move to lie on the bed. Instead, he turned toward the wardrobe and took out a blanket and pillow. Then, he laid out the blanket on the sofa.
He Xiyan froze on the spot and her face immediately turned pale as she watched her husband’s actions in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe that he hated Yuan Yuan so much so that he refused to share the same bed as Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan was so small and the bed was two meters wide, so there was enough s.p.a.ce for all three of them to sleep together.
She couldn’t believe that he’d rather sleep on the sofa than with the both of them. She thought that if Xi Xi had been the one sleeping on the bed, he would have happily given her a hug on the bed.
“Ye Hao…” He Xiyan called out her husband’s name. She couldn’t understand what he was thinking. If he didn’t like Yuan Yuan, why did he once promise her that he would raise Yuan Yuan as his own child and even declared that Yuan Yuan as his son? Yet, now that the child was here, his reaction was so cold.
He Xiyan could hear the sound of her heart breaking and bit her lips tightly. No one understood how much her heart hurt and how upset she felt at that moment.
