He would not go if his mother wasnât going.
Xi Xi ran over, tugged at her motherâs skirts and said playfully, âMom, letâs go watch âAdventure Kingâ. My classmates have all been raving about it.â
Xi Xi thought that it sounded fun. She didnât want to stay at home but instead, she wanted to head outside to play.
He Xiyan didnât know how to respond nor reject her childrenâs request. Hence, she had no choice but to lead the children downstairs.
Xia Jingshu had already left but there was a car parked outside the gates.
Mo Yixuan leaned against the car in his white shirt, blue-and-white striped tie, and black trousers. He Xiyan had bought him this tie six years ago. He had always treasured every gift she had given him and couldnât bear to throw them away.
There were many clothes and shoes that he had been wearing for a long time but he still kept these items.
He was 32 years of age but his looks havenât changed much compared to his twenties. His features were as exquisite and well-defined as a statue and he fit the ideal beauty standards for men and looked equally handsome from every angle.
He placed one hand on the car and held his phone with the other. His gaze never left the doorway of the castle the moment he arrived at the castle.
His lips curved into a beautiful smile when he saw his child and the woman he loved emerge from the castle.
Yuan Yuan ran out of the castle happily the moment he spotted his father.
âDadâ¦â Yuan Yuan said as he ran over and hugged his dadâs legs.
Mo Yixuan smiled happily and his gaze softened when he saw his child.
He was a workaholic and so, he was very solemn and cold at the workplace and hardly smiled. However, his gaze would soften and his eyes were filled with joy and tenderness the moment he saw Yuan Yuan.
âYuan Yuan, is your mother coming?â Mo Yixuan asked.
He had intended to bring Yan Yan and Xi Xi to the movies today.
Yuan Yuan beamed brightly and he seemed very excited as he said, âDad, mom and my sister will go to the movies as well.â
It wasnât long before He Xiyan emerged from the castle with her daughter. Xi Xi immediately spotted Yuan Yuanâs father who was slimmer than her father.
Xi Xi couldnât help but pout unhappily. She wished that her father was here with them today since Yuan Yuanâs father was not her father.
He Xiyanâs face was dark and there was no trace of happiness nor excitement on her face. Her gaze was cold and aloof.
She didnât even look at Mo Yixuan even after she walked up to the doorway.
Mo Yixuan wasnât upset but instead, he felt a little excited because this was finally his chance to spend time with Yan Yan even though she was very reluctant to head out with him.
He then turned to look at Xi Xi and Xi Xi was also studying him.
âXi Xi⦠come, let me hold you!â Mo Yixuan said as he stretched out his arms.
Xi Xi might not be his daughter but he would raise this child as his own as long as Yan Yan returned to his side.
He really wanted to have a daughter as well.
Xi Xi looked up at Yuan Yuanâs father but she didnât want to go over. She made a face Mo Yixuan and paused for a moment before she said, âI donât want to hold me.â
She scoffed coldly since she didnât like Yuan Yuanâs father.
Mo Yixuanâs arms hung mid-air awkwardly and he finally lowered them in resignation.
It made sense since he had not interacted with this child before but he was sure that Xi Xi wouldnât find him so detestable after they got to know each other better.
Yuan Yuan rode shotgun beside his father while He Xiyan carried Xi Xi and sat in the backseat.
