Chapter 502 - He Only Wanted to See Her
“Yan Yan…”
Mo Yixuan finally stopped after they walked for a while and picked up Yuan Yuan, then pointed to a nearby children restaurant. “Shall we stop for something to eat? It’s already noon time and Yuan Yuan needs to eat too.”
Yuan Yuan immediately rubbed his tiny belly at the mention of food and said, “Ma ma, eat… Yuan Yuan wants food.”
He used his childish voice to try to coax her into going to the restaurant.
Mo Yixuan carried Yuan Yuan toward the restaurant while He Xiyan trailed behind, her face devoid of any expression.
She was not hungry but she wasn’t going to let her child go hungry.
This was a children’s restaurant located within the amusement park and just as its name suggested, it served many types of food specially designed for children, including congee, rice in soup, egg soup, and many other products with milk for children.
Mo Yixuan booked the final private room available in the restaurant and ordered several delicious dishes. He also ordered two egg rolls and one winter melon soup with rice for Yuan Yuan.
Their private room was located on the second floor and their room wasn’t a luxurious nor a spacious room but it was clean and tidy.
“Yan Yan, have a seat,” Mo Yixuan gestured for her to sit across him. He hoped that they could sit side by side but he knew that she was very wary and guarded around him, so he didn’t force her to do so.
Yuan Yuan ran over to sit beside his mother when he saw that she had taken a seat. Then, he stared longingly at the two tiny egg rolls in front of him.
“Ma ma…” Yuan Yuan said as he pointed at the yellow egg rolls fresh from the kitchen and tried to tell his mother that he wanted to eat them.
He Xiyan had never fed Yuan Yuan such things and was a little hesitant about doing so. After all, Yuan Yuan was only a year and a half, so these egg rolls might not be suitable for him.
Mo Yixuan pushed the plate toward them and said, “It’s okay to feed him this. He has also eaten this at home and really likes it.”
Yuan Yuan said, “Ma ma… eat rolls.”
He Xiyan paused for a moment and finally tore a small piece of egg roll then put it in Yuan Yuan’s mouth.
Wu Xiaomin had volunteered to eat downstairs because she didn’t want to interrupt their moment together.
Mo Yixuan scooped up a bowl of rice and handed it to He Xiyan after the food was served and said, “You should have some food first. I’ll feed Yuan Yuan.” Then, he scooped a small portion of rice in soup for Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan climbed down from his chair and ran over to his father’s side. He opened his mouth and swallowed whatever his father fed him.
He Xiyan did not touch her chopsticks but she sat at her seat and stared at her child, observing his every movement.
After a while, she finally looked at her ex-husband. Her gaze was still cold and emotionless.
“Mo Yixuan…” She said and called him by his full name. Then, she paused for a moment before she continued, “I had only intended to bring Yuan Yuan out to play today and I already promised to bring Yuan Yuan back to the Mo mansion tomorrow. There’s no need for you nor your mother to be so anxious.”
She didn’t intend to run away with the child, so she didn’t understand why both mother and son were being so sensitive. His mother had forbidden her from bringing the child outside while he had dropped everything and rushed over to keep an eye on her movements.
Mo Yixuan laughed wryly and a sense of bitterness washed over him. What she didn’t know was that he wasn’t here because he was worried that she would take the child away but rather, he just wanted an excuse and an opportunity to meet her. All he wanted was to see her.
