Chapter 999: Mom, You Must Come

“Mom is over there!” Yuan Yuan said as he adjusted the camera.

Soon, Mo Yixuan saw the familiar figure of his ex-wife. She was currently clad in a white leisure outfit and she was blow-drying her hair in front of a mirror at her vanity table. He could even hear the faint sounds of blow drying in the background.

“Dad, do you want to speak to mom?” Yuan Yuan asked. He could tell that his father had missed his mom dearly for each time they’d speak over a video call, he’d ask what his mother was doing.

Mo Yixuan smiled bitterly. He shook his head because he knew that she would refuse to speak to him even if he wanted to speak to her.

He Xiyan dried her hair before she walked toward her two children. She quickly moved away when she saw that Yuan Yuan was on the phone with his father since she didn’t want Mo Yixuan to spot her.

Xi XI happily tugged on her hand.

“Mom, our teacher said that she would allow our parents to come into the school compound to watch our performance next Saturday because it’s also Children’s Day,” Xi Xi said as she blinked up adorably at her mother while she lay sprawled out on her mother’s lap.

Her father had been the one to accompany her each time there was an event at school before her mother returned from the dead. This was the first time she had the opportunity for both her parents to accompany her to school.

Xi Xi was extremely happy at the thought that she’d be able to have both her parents by her side just like her other classmates.

However, her father was still married to Aunty Han. If her father divorced Han Xue, then she’d be able to return to the castle and live with her and her mother.

He Xiyan ruffled her daughter’s soft hair and pinched her cheeks before she said, “Xi Xi, I will accompany Yuan Yuan and you to school. However, you shouldn’t call for your father since he wouldn’t have time given how busy his business is.”

He Xiyan did not wish to see her ex-husbands and she did not want to meet both Mo Yixuan and Ye Hao.

“Wait, but I asked dad and he said that he didn’t need to work that day so he’ll pick me up from school,” Xi Xi said with an innocent smile.

He Xiyan pursed her lips and there was a flash of melancholy in her eyes.

She turned her head aside as she tried to think of a solution but she couldn’t think of an alternative plan.

“Xi Xi, why don’t you tell your father not to go?” she asked.

She couldn’t go if Ye Hao was going to be present since it’d be awkward even if she went.

Xi Xi pouted sulkily when she heard that her mother wasn’t willing to go.

“Sob… mom, you tricked me. You did not want to see me dance at all,” she said as she shook her mom’s arm and instantly looked extremely upset. Her eyes even brimmed with unshed tears.

Yuan Yuan noticed his sister’s actions.

He did not speak but continued to look on speechlessly.

His sister might be young but she was definitely a good actor.

He Xiyan froze and looked at her daughter with a strange sense of helplessness. She obviously wished to watch her daughter’s performance since she had never witnessed her daughter on stage. However, she felt that she was giving the wrong impression by going with Ye Hao especially since his current wife was Han Xue.

“Mom…” Xi Xi continued, “You must go to watch my performance. I wouldn’t go if you refused to go,” Xi XI said with a cold laugh as she turned her face away.

She looked very upset.

She only wanted to be like her other classmates who had their parents by their sides.

He Xiyan placed a hand over her heart and heaved a long sigh.

Se merely wanted her parents to be beside her, just as all other foreign students did.

She felt exceptionally upset whenever she saw how poor the working conditions of the Bangladeshis were filling.

All well, she would keep a distance from Ye Hao on the day of Xi Xi’s performance. She hoped that they wouldn’t even have to exchange a single word.
