Chapter 122 - Have You Dated Anyone Else?
“Mum, what’s wrong?” Mo Yixuan was so annoyed by his mother’s repeated calls that he could only accept her call.
The moment he accepted her call, he immediately heard her excited voice.
“Uh… Yixuan, I’d like to ask you something but you must answer truthfully.”
“What’s the matter?” Mo Yixuan frowned. Couldn’t this wait until he returned home? Why did she have to call him so many times.
Li Qin coughed twice, then entered an unoccupied bedroom and closed the door. Her voice dropped to a whisper before she continued.
“Yixuan, let me ask you, did you date anyone else other than Yuwei before you divorced He Xiyan, or sleep with anyone else?” Li Qin asked carefully, hoping that he would say there was another girl. She hoped that the 7-month-old child she saw today was a result of one of her son’s philandering activities.
Then, she would take this child back to the Mo family no matter how much money it took.
Mo Yixuan’s black eyes darkened and he sighed impatiently.
“Mum, what nonsense are you spouting?” He shouted angrily at his mother.
His mother was no longer young but yet, she still let her imagination run wild.
“Think harder. Did you really not have any other sexual relations? Was there any time where you were drunk and did something with an unknown woman?” Li Qin continued to press him. She was still hopeful because this child truly resembled him.
This time, her son did not bother to response.
She heard the line being cut.
How dare her son hang up on her?
Sigh…
Her last bit of hope was extinguished, so Li Qin could only go back downstairs to carry and play with her actual grandson, Mo Ye. However, she could not let go of this thought. Why couldn’t her grandson be as well-behaved and as beautiful as that child? Why couldn’t her grandson look more like her son?
At the same time, in a countryside mansion about 30 kilometers away.
Ye Hao pushed his mother along the field of flowers in front of the building.
Xia Jingshu was still recovering so she looked a pale and more wrinkles had formed along the corners of her eyes. She always looked more than 10 years younger than her actual age but now, it looked like she was suddenly an accurate reflection of her age.
She was growing old. After all, she was already 54 and was no longer in her youth but inching closer to 60.
Ye Snr. had bought this place for his retirement and was close to 20 kilometers away from the city. He also purchased the surrounding farms, bamboo forests and a natural lake. It had an area of more than 1.3 hectares.
The mansion was constructed right in the middle and there was a huge vegetable farm and a small bamboo forest behind that building and a field of flowers in front of that building. A medium-sized lake was in front of the field of flowers where all kinds of aquatic products were cultivated.
This place was far from the city and thus, the air was fresher and there was also space to grow vegetables and fruits. It was a great place for the elderly to retire and enjoy his twilight years.
Ye Hao pushed his mother into the mansion. Unlike most other mansions that were decorated like the magnificent style of palaces, this mansion adopted an ancient chinese style. There were carved arches, rosewood chiars and tables as well as expensive ink paintings on the wall.
Entering this place felt like entering the home of someone rich in the ancient times.
“Mum, have you truly decided to stay here?” Ye Hao carried his mother to the sofa. He blinked and the pain in his eyes was clear when he looked at her legs that would never walk again.
He was hoping that his mother would move into the castle. They had relied on and lived together for more than 30 years and were very close. His mother had cared for him for 30 years, so it was now time for him to take care of his mother in the future.
