After He Xiyan finished consulting the doctor, she walked out of the door holding the report. She didn’t even notice the man with a pale face.
Until he suddenly grabbed her arm.
“Yan Yan, let me look at your report,” Mo Yixuan reached out to snatch her ultrasound report from her hands.
He Xiyan frowned and instinctively took a step backward, then hid the report behind her back as she stared cautiously at him.
She was afraid that he would do something extreme when he saw the report.
“Yan Yan, I know that you’re pregnant. I won’t hurt you,” Mo Yixuan stretched out his hands toward her once more, his heart twisting when he saw how wary she was of him as if she was being confronted by a thief.
He didn’t have any other intentions. He only wanted to see how she was faring.
He Xiyan frowned and she hesitated for a moment before handing the report to him.
Mo Yixuan looked at the report for a long while and saw all the data on the report. He didn’t really understand what the data meant but he could clearly see the picture of the fetus on the report.
It was still a very small fetus, about the size of his fist but it had already taken on the basic shape of a human.
This was Yan Yan’s child. It was a pity that the child wasn’t his.
His only child was Mo Ye but the mother of his child was Xia Yuwei.
“I have to go,” He Xiyan kept the report away and nodded politely at him, bidding him farewell. She guessed that he wouldn’t harass her anymore now that he knew she was pregnant and also because the child wasn’t his. Each time she thought of Yuan Yuan who looked so similar to the man in front of her, she was filled with unease. She prayed that the heavens would protect this secret and that they would never discover her secret.
“I’ll send you back,” Mo Yixuan walked her out.
He Xiyan thanked him politely.
“It’s alright, I can flag a cab back myself. You should go home too. I hope that you’d remember what I said today and love your child, and refrain from doing any more foolish things.”
Then, He Xiyan walked out of the door and left Mo Yixuan standing alone at the entrance.
He stood in a daze like a fool, and his feet felt leaden.
He watched as she got into the car and watched as the car drove off, then she disappeared from view.
His chest hurt intensely when he couldn’t see that car anymore, as though someone had taken a large knife and carved out that muscle from his chest.
He rubbed his eyes and found that he was crying again.
He had cried more than once because of her over this past year but she would still not return to him. If Mo Ye’s arrival had broken their marriage apart, then the appearance of her child had broken the threads of their fate.
He had ultimately lost her. Other than wishing her well now, there was nothing else he could do.
He returned to his car and leaned against the steering wheel as though all his energy had sapped out of him. HIs black eyes were dark and dim as he continued to stare ahead in a daze. He watched the cars zoom by the roads and the people crossing the road on both sides.
He watched these people talk and laugh amongst themselves, then disappear hurriedly from his sight.
Until he saw a very familiar figure.
His pupils shrank and he suddenly sat upright as though something had agitated him.
Was that Xia Yuwei?
He frowned and stared at her familiar and detestable figure.
