At this time, she was like an outsider.
âMaster Qiao is currently calling Miss Fang. Miss Ye, please wait for a while.â Housekeeper Tang said.
Ye Jiaqiâs heart felt as though it was grabbed ruthlessly.
There was a pain, a suffocating sort of pain.
Even after three years, as she heard the words âMiss Fangâ, her heart still became restless.
She knew that everything was her fault.
In the past, housekeeper Tang had told her numerous times that Master Qiao had a sweetheart called Fang Ya who lived in England.
Housekeeper Tang had told her many times to not waste time on Master Qiao.
But she, did she listen?
Not at all.
And now, it was her that had to live in regret.
She could only comfort herself and tell herself that what had happened was three years ago. It had been a long time and she should start her life anew.
Ye Jiaqi stood at the door and looked at Qiao Sinian.
This man was indeed handsome. He had a firm face, a strong aura, and a sexy voice.
When she was young and ignorant, she too was attracted to him due to his features.
Yet she didnât understand, she didnât understand the human heart.
That some people were beasts in human clothing.
âIs Miss Fang married to Master Qiao?â
Ye Jiaqi didnât know what was wrong with her to ask that.
After asking, she wanted to slap herself.
Married or not, it wasnât related to her.
âLittle master is already three years old.â Housekeeper Tang replied, her face as calm as ever.
Little master is already three years oldâ¦
Three years.
Instantly, Ye Jiaqi felt like she had gotten slapped in the face.
She hadnât guessed wrong. It was because Fang Ya had gotten pregnant and thus, he wanted to get rid of her child.
If her child was still here, he would have been three years old too.
But there were no ifs in this world.
Qiao Sinian finished his phone call and turned around to see Ye Jiaqi.
Against the light, Ye Jiaqiâs face was extremely pale.
Riceball stood next to her.
Putting away his phone, Qiao Sinian strode over to Ye Jiaqi.
As Riceball smelt food, he ran around the living room trying to find the source.
Qiao Sinian looked at Riceball in disdain and coldly said, âGet out!â
Riceball wasnât scared of most people, but he was still terrified of Qiao Sinian!
Unable to do anything else, Riceball drooped his head and left.
Housekeeper Tang also bowed before saying, âMaster Qiao, Iâll head out too.â
âOkay.â
With the door closed, only Qiao Sinian and Ye Jiaqi remained in the large living room.
âEat.â Qiao Sinian told Ye Jiaqi.
âMaster Qiao, can I go after I finish eating?â
Ye Jiaqi raised her eyes and they shone with a clear gloss.
âIf you want to leave, then leave! No one is keeping you here!â
Qiao Sinian was extremely upset, his expression showed clear signs of anger and frustration.
They hadnât even eaten this meal yet!
As she thought back, Ye Jiaqi realised what he said was true. No one was keeping her here. It was only Riceball who wanted her to stay.
They sat down on opposite ends of the dining table. The table was full of delicious dishes and they were mostly Ye Jiaqiâs favourite dishes.
Ye Jiaqi picked up her bowl and was ready to eat.
âEat slowly. Donât choke on your food.â
âI know.â
Qiao Sinian also picked up his bowl. However, he ate rather slowly, and his movements were much more elegant.
Ye Jiaqi had occasionally pretended to be gentle and ladylike before him in the past.
But at that time, it was just to attract his attention and get him to look at her twice.
And the truth was, he did look at her more than twice. However, he had said, âStop pretending.â
Her self-confidence had been hit hard.
And now, she was too lazy to pretend.
âAre you still going to work that part-time job at night?â Qiao Sinian asked.
âMaster Qiao, donât speak whilst eating. Thatâs what you taught me.â
She lowered her head to continue eating.
âIâve taught you many things in the past. How many do you remember?â
Ye Jiaqi looked up and replied, âThen, Master Qiao, are you planning to buy condoms?â
