Chapter 96: You'll Spend Your Whole Life Loving Me

He Xiyan’s fingers left his face but she continued to keep her gaze trained on him.

She closely observed the change in his emotions. She first saw shock fill his eyes, then it turned conflicted before it turned resolute.

She had clearly correctly guessed his decision.

“Yan Yan, you are backing me into a corner.” Mo Yixuan frowned and reached out to grip her shoulders.

He Xiyan smiled once more, her lips curling contemptuously.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing! Yixuan, you know deep in your heart that you care most about your son and your son’s mother, Xia Yuwei. I am neither of these people, so why did you still look for me?”

What was the point in him looking for her? She was the person he abandoned. Even if she wanted to start all over again, wouldn’t he make the same choice once more?

Mo Yixuan closed his eyes and under the sunlight, his face was pale and melancholic.

He did not reply; neither did he know how else to respond. He could not abandon his son, neither could he kick his child out into the streets but he could not give Yan Yan up either. He felt as though he would only be able to relax if she was by his side.

He Xiyan shook her head in resignation and pursed her lips bitterly. She also felt this bitterness deep within her.

She had only been testing him earlier and he reacted exactly as she thought he would.

The man in front of her did not know that this was an opportunity that she had given him, as well as Yuan Yuan, but he let this chance slip by.

She struggled to get his hands off her shoulder and turned to look at the hospital. Ye Hao must have been waiting for her. He must have been very worried.

“Let me go.” He Xiyan said with a sigh. There was no anger in her voice, only helplessness. She was surprised to realize that she felt mostly resigned when she faced him.

Mo Yixuan tightened his grip on her. He was afraid that if he let go this time, it would be for life.

“Yan Yan, leave Ye Hao.” He looked at her, the faint mist in his eyes was about to transform into tiny water droplets.

He Xiyan smiled awkwardly at him. How many times did he want to repeat the same words? Didn’t he realize he was being very irritating?

“As I’ve said earlier, this is none of your business. Yixuan, I’m only 25. I can’t remain single forever after our divorce, so even if it isn’t Ye Hao, it would still be reasonable for me to date or marry other men. This is a reasonable personal request.”

She enunciated each word clearly, hoping that he would take the hint and stop harassing her. She was truly exhausted.

Mo Yixuan’s eyes turned more melancholic and his brows knitted so tightly together that it looked as though they were unable to untangle themselves.

“I’ll give you everything you want. If you want a man, I’ll be able to satisfy you as well.” As long as she left that man, he would satisfy all her needs.

Sweat broke out on He Xiyan’s forehead at his nonsensical response. She didn’t know how he could bring himself to spout such nonsensical words.

All she wanted was a complete family unit but he had already broken up their family.

“Alright, Mo Yixuan….you should let go.” He Xiyan shrugged his hands off. She truly did not feel like speaking to him anymore. She was terribly upset each time she saw him.

The man in front of her felt exactly the same. He was so upset that he found himself unable to sleep well every night.

He suddenly jerked her into his embrace and his arms tightened around her like ropes, rendering her immobile.

“Mo Yixuan!” He Xiyan shouted angrily. She really hated how he continued to harass her in such manner and how he would try to touch her each time. Her hands curled into fists as she pounded at his chest.

Mo Yixuan’s lips pursed dangerously, then he suddenly pressed her head to his chest and forced her to listen to her irregular heartbeat.

“Yan Yan…” He rested his sharp chin on the top of her head and his voice became extremely tender. “You said that you would spend your whole life loving me and that you would love me more than all the other women. You need to fulfill your promise.”
