The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

He was most worried that his mother would resort to extreme measures.

Li Qin shook her head helplessly, but she was not able to come down. Each time she thought of how her grandson was living under someone else’s roof and called someone else father, she felt as though her heart was bleeding.

“Yixuan, you must make He Xiyan return Yuan Yuan to us. We must get Yuan Yuan back,” she said as she gripped her son’s arm, her eyes shining with tears.

Her grandson had already grown so much but he had never said the word ‘grandmother’ which meant that Ye Zhiyuan and Xia Jingshu had never properly interacted with Yuan Yuan. As for Ye Hao, that man even wanted her grandson to undergo plastic surgery. This was such a terrifying prospect.

Everyone from the Ye family seemed terrible.

Mo Yixuan nodded in agreement, “Mum, I will do that. You should do your rehabilitation practices and focus on getting better, alright? Don’t try to complicate matters.”

All he wanted was for his mother to remain calm and to not stir up trouble.

Li Qin sighed deeply and only nodded after a while. “I know. Yixuan, please focus on your work and try to think of a way to get Yuan Yuan back. I’ll only be able to rest easy once Yuan Yuan has returned to us.”

As they spoke, they did not notice that there was another child looking at them silently at the doorway.

Mo Ye stood at the doorway with his toy and looked at his grandmother and his father curiously.

He couldn’t understand what they were saying. At his young age, all he knew was that his grandmother and father would no longer hold him and that it was a long time since they last held him.

It was only the aunty at home who would hold him and she was also the person who loved him the most.

He only approached them when he saw that their conversation was over and placed his toy onto the sofa, his lips pursed. Then, he walked over and looked up at his father as he said softly, “Pa pa....”

Mo Yixuan had noticed the child’s presence earlier and had already noticed the child when he stood at the doorway but he did not take the initiative to hold him.

He couldn’t remember when was the last time that he had held this child.

“Ye Ye, go to play,” he said, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Mo Ye pouted his tiny lips sadly. Each time he approached his father, his father would always tell him to go somewhere else to play.

This time, he stood his ground and refused to leave no matter what they said. He walked over to stand between his father and his grandmother and looked first at his father, then at his grandmother.

Mo Yixuan frowned and he felt very uncomfortable as though his heart was being chewed by ants. Each time he saw the child these days, he could recall all the terrible things he had done in the past. He had abandoned the woman he loved most because of this child who wasn’t even his, and also married the shameless Xia Yuwei because of the same child. Now, his child acknowledged someone else as his father and took after someone else’s name.

As for him, he was raising someone else’s kid. The thought of it just seemed incredibly ludicrous.

Li Qin was similarly conflicted and she patted the child’s face and pulled the child to stand beside her.

She had grown attached to this child. After all, she had raised this child since he was a baby and lavished all her love on him but she could have never imagined that this child was not her biological grandson.

It was hard to retract her feelings after she had given him so much love.

“Ye Ye...” she said hoarsely.

Mo Ye grinned toothily at his grandmother.

“Grandmother...” he said softly.

Li Qin nodded and thought for a moment before she said, “Ye Ye, you must be a good boy and play with Yuan Yuan after he arrives, okay?”
