Chapter 1017: Mom, You Have to Come

He Xiyan gently stroked her daughter’s rosy cheeks. Her daughter still insisted on dancing in spite of her condition.

“It’s okay, Xi Xi. You’ll still be able to go on stage the next time there’s another performance. You’ve already injured your leg so you can’t go up on stage to dance,” she said. She didn’t want her daughter to dance while she was injured. Her injury would only get worse if she fell down once again.

Ye Hao crouched down and gently held his daughter’s hand. Then, he picked his daughter up and turned to the doctor before he asked, “Doctor, would she be able to go on stage today?”

Ye Hao knew that his daughter wanted to up on stage and loved dancing at home. Dancing was her favorite pastime.

The doctor frowned and thought for a moment before he said, “It should be fine if the dance doesn’t involve big movements. However, she wouldn’t be able to bend over or her wound might start bleeding again.”

The doctor could tell that Xi Xi really wanted to perform today.

Xi Xi nodded and wrapped her arms around her father’s neck as she said, “Dad, there’s no need to bend over during the dance performance at all. It is a very easy dance. I’m not afraid of pain.”

Xi Xi didn’t want someone else to take her place.

Ye Hao carried Xi Xi out of the infirmary while He Xiyan led Yuan Yuan out. It was almost 8 AM, so it was time for the children to assemble in their classrooms.

It was children’s day today, so the school was decorated for the occasion. Eight helium balloons floated from the school gates and balloons in a wide variety of colors were tied to the large archway.

Small, multi-colored flags could be seen all around the school and children loved colorful things, so the school was beautifully decorated.

He Xiyan went to Xi Xi’s classroom and gently stroked her daughter’s face when they reached her classroom before she said, “Xi Xi, your dad will look after you today. I’ll send your brother off to class first.”

He Xiyan noticed that there were many people in school today and there were even more parents than students today. Most of these parents accompanied their children to school today. The teachers looked very busy as well and were probably not going to be able to handle all the children. It was necessary for the parents to be present today, or no one would be able to keep an eye on their children.

Xi Xi pouted when she saw that her mother was about to leave.

“Mom, you must come back after you send my brother off to class,” she said sulkily.

She wanted both her parents to be by her side today, just like all her other classmates.

He Xiyan pursed her lips and looked apologetically at her daughter. Ye Hao was present, so she knew that he would look after her. However, she could not abandon Yuan Yuan.

Ye Hao’s gaze never left his ex-wife’s face and he felt as though a string was wrapped tightly around his heart. His eyes were full of anguish and pain.

He wanted nothing more than for Yan Yan to still be married to him and for their relationship to be as loving as before.

He Xiyan looked at Ye Hao but quickly looked away when she noticed the sorrow in his eyes. “Ye Hao, please keep an eye on Xi Xi later. There are too many people around today, so you can’t afford to be negligent,” she said.

She was worried that Ye Hao would fail to keep an eye on their daughter.

Ye Hao nodded to show that he understood. He couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to pull her into his arms but Yan Yan had already walked away with Yuan Yuan.

Xi Xi was still with the younger children while Yuan Yuan had already advanced to a class with older children so his classroom was in a separate building.

He Xiyan brought Yuan Yuan to another building and entered Yuan Yuan’s classroom. Yuan Yuan held his mother’s clothes tightly, as though he was afraid that she would leave.
