Han Xue blinked her eyes hard and forced the tears that were swirling in her eyes back.
She looked at the man who used to be hers and only said after a short pause, âAh Hao, I know you hate meâ¦â
She said softly and she sounded a little emotional when she said the words âAh Haoâ.
This has once been her pet name for him and he would also affectionately call her âXiao Xueâ.
Ye Hao frowned and he seemed a little annoyed at how affectionate this woman was.
Han Xue continued, âI was young and foolish back then and didnât treasure our relationship. This was my fault but I want you to know that Iâve never forgotten about you. Although you were ignoring me for so many years, i would still send you an email from time to time despite knowing that you would not respond.â
Han Xue spoke about all the suffering that she had been through, as though she had been the victim from the very beginning.
Ye Hao didnât even look at her.
âMiss Han, please donât bring up the past anymore,â he snapped back. He was annoyed by the mention of the past and moreover, there wasnât any use in dredging these past matters up.
All these seemed to have taken place in his past life.
Han Xue did not feel the same way, so she continued to speak, âIâve already tried telling you many times; nothing happened between Ye Yi and I but you had always refused to believe me.â
She sounded very upset and as she looked meaningfully at Ye Hao, her eyes were filled with regret and love.
Ye Hao did not even want to face her when she looked at him that way and turned away in irritation. He pointed at the door and coldly said, âMiss Han, please get out if you insist on talking about such meaningless matters. I donât have the patience to listen to you prattle on about matters that I donât ever wish to recall.â
Han Xue froze in shock and felt as though a knife had been plunged into her heart. She felt as though her heart would bleed, especially when he addressed her at Miss Han.
She sighed and her crystalline tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
Xiao Yu couldnât understand what his parents were saying but he anxiously stretched out his hand to gently wipe the tears from her eyes when he saw that she was crying.
âMa ma, donât cry,â Xiao Yu said softly. Then, he lay quietly in her arms.
Han Xue paused for a moment and when she next looked at up at Ye Hao, her eyes were no longer filled with regret but they were filled with an indescribable plea.
âYe Hao, I promise I wonât bring up the past anymore but Xiao Yuâ¦â Han Xue said as she pointed at her child. âPlease take a good look at him. He is your child. It doesnât matter if you hate me but please donât take your anger out on him. Heâs still so young and needs the love of his father. He would be elated even if you show him the slightest bit of attention,â she said. Then, she carried the child to Ye Hao and placed him on his lap.
Ye Hao was speechless.
He didnât expect her to pull such a stunt, so he merely froze when he found the child in his arms and a flash of hesitation crossed his face.
Xiao Yu shrank inwards in fear.
âDadâ¦â he said softly. He wanted to hold his fatherâs clothes but he didnât dare to, so his hand hung limply mid-air.
Ye Hao noticed his movements and Ye Hao felt his heart suddenly shift.
He looked at the child, a child who he had never once taken a good look at. This child had amber-colored eyes just like himself and his sharp nose seemed to take after him too.
Although his features werenât an exact copy of his, there was an obvious resemblance. He would also find it hard to believe that he wasnât related to this child.
