Chapter 248 - The Drunken Woman
It was 10 PM by the time He Xiyan and Ye Hao left Qin Garden and before they left, Xia Jingshu gave He Xiyan many items that were meant to be very nourishing for pregnant women.
The car headed toward the city and since it was late at night, there weren’t that many cars on the road, so Ye Hao drove very quickly.
He Xiyan lowered her head and twisted her fingers together as she recalled what her mother-in-law told her earlier. Although those were words of concern, they had given her a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, Ye Hao was a lot calmer. Although he regretted angering his father, he had spoken the truth earlier. No one could force him to do something he didn’t want to do.
He turned around to glance at his wife and clocked her worried expression.
“What’s wrong? Did my mother say anything to pressurize you?” Ye Hao asked uncertained.
He Xiyan cast her eyes downward and her complicated emotions were written all over her face.
She thought for a moment before she said, “Mum said that we should hold our wedding next month.”
“Sure, what kind of wedding do you want to have?” Ye Hao suddenly slowed down his speed by more than 20 kilometers per hour and looked as though he wanted to have a proper discussion about it.
The expectant look in his eyes was the complete opposite of her conflicted emotions.
He Xiyan pursed her lips and clutched her edges of her clothes tightly. She suddenly didn’t know what to say when she saw the hope in his eyes.
She didn’t want to hold a wedding.
When He Xiyan didn’t respond, Ye Hao added, “Why don’t we stick to traditional wedding at Ye City? You should go select a holiday resort, then we’ll just have to make the wedding more elaborate. Let’s not hold our wedding overseas since it is too troublesome and I’m worried that you wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
Ye Hao said seriously as he continued to drive. He didn’t notice that his wife was feeling so conflicted that her eyebrows have scrunched into one long line.
She planned to discuss whether they could go without holding a wedding but she hadn’t expected him to immediately talk about the wedding logistics.
Their views were completely different and they weren’t on the same wavelength.
She didn’t seem to have any room to wriggle out of holding a wedding. Furthermore, since his parents hoped that he would hold a wedding, her objections would be futile.
He Xiyan sighed and suddenly felt as though she was little selfish. She didn’t have any expectations for a wedding because she had already been through marriage once and she didn’t believe that weddings were such sacred events. She also felt as though marriage vows were just words that were blurted out thoughtlessly. However, it was Ye Hao’s first marriage and he was her mother-in-law’s only son, so she could understand their feelings.
“Screech…”
As these thoughts raced through her head, the car suddenly screeched to a halt.
He Xiyan was suddenly thrown forward and if it not for her seatbelt, she would have hit her head against the windshield.
“What’s wrong? She looked at Ye Hao in shock and quite a lot of sweat had formed on her forehead.
Ye Hao’s face was pale as he rolled down the car windows and shouted angrily at the woman in front of the car,” Are you fucking insane? If you want to die, you should go commit suicide.”
He Xiyan realized that there was a woman clad in a black leather skirt holding a bottle of beer in her hand walking unsteadily in front of the car. She looked as though she was drunk.
And this woman seemed so familiar, was she…
Xia Yuwei?
He Xiyan’s eyes widened and looked disbelievingly at the woman who was dressed so sexily that she looked like she worked at a nightclub.
How did Xia Yuwei end up like this? Although she knew this woman was vain, she didn’t think that Xia Yuwei would go so far as to party in nightclubs and walk drunkenly down the streets in the middle of the night.
Was she so traumatized after the divorce with Mo Yixuan that she had fallen to such depths?
