âMr. Mo, Iâd like to raise Yuan Yuan,â He Xiyan said. She went straight to the point after she put down the chopsticks in her hand.
Then, she watched Mo Yixuan closely and tried to gauge his reaction.
Mo Yixuanâs lips curved upward and smiled enigmatically.
âSure!â Mo Yixuan agreed readily. However, his next words made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
âIf youâre willing to move to the Mo mansion, we can raise Yuan Yuan together,â he said as though it made complete sense.
Then, he put some food in her bowl like a perfect gentleman.
He Xiyan suddenly frowned. She took a sip of wine and after she put it back on the table with a loud clang. When she next looked up at him, there was a shred of annoyance in her eyes.
She had already told him clearly that she would not return to Ye City to live with him, so what kind of lame response was that?
âIâd like Yuan Yuan to live with me in Ming City and I wish to raise himself,â He Xiyan said. She didnât want to listen to his lame responses but she wanted a clear answer.
Haâ¦
Mo Yixuan suddenly laughed. He put down his chopsticks and stared at this woman who he missed everyday. He smiled at her but no one knew that his heart was actually bleeding.
âNo way,â he said coldly. His smile disappeared from his face, his eyes hardened, and his entire aura turned cold.
âYuan Yuan will never agree to return with you to Ming City. Go ahead and ask him if you doubt my words,â he said as he looked downward. His long eyelashes concealed the pain and disappointment in his eyes.
He didnât want to speak to her in such a cold manner but he didnât have much of a choice since all he wanted was for her to come back and return to live with him.
He had allowed Yuan Yuan to spend Lunar New Year at Ming City with her because he wanted her to return to him for the sake of their child.
He Xiyan froze in shock and Mo Yixuanâs words seemed to have hit a sore spot. She sat silently on her seat and her helplessness and pain were reflected all over her face under the lamplight.
Yes, Yuan Yuan would not be willing to return to Ming City with her. She was sure of that. She had not taken care of him at all during the three years that she had lost her memories. She did not even pay him a visit, so they didnât share a deep bond. Thus, why would he agree to leave with her?
Mo Yixuan could see how terrible she felt and he coughed twice before he continued, âYan Yan, please come home to live with us if you truly love Yuan Yuan. I promise that I will treat you extremely well and give you everything I have as long as you return to my side.â There was a sincere and hopeful plea in his eyes.
He hoped that she would agree to his proposal and looked forward to the three of them reuniting as a family.
He Xiyan turned away in irritation. She wasnât touched by his promises at all, neither did she think he was lying to her. However, she had started a new life, so she didnât want to go back to the past and return to his side. It didnât matter whether they were once lovers or enemies, she had no intention of returning to him.
Oh well, some things werenât meant to be. She guessed that Yuan Yuan would probably have a better future if he continued to stay with Mr. Mo. She loved Yuan Yuan and wanted to raise him herself, but she also hoped that he could have a better future ahead of him. She didnât want to fight in court for legal custody and force Yuan Yuan to make such a painful decision.
