The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1021

Chapter 1021: He Isn’t My Father

He Xiyan suddenly heard a familiar voice while she was talking to Yue Yue’s mother.

“Mom…” Xi Xi called out loudly.

She called out for her mother so loudly that almost all the children and parents turned to stare at her.

Ye Hao had also spotted his ex-wife and carried his daughter over. He still looked hopeful and slightly apologetic as he said, “Yan Yan…”

He Xiyan was surprised to see Xi Xi in this classroom. Shouldn’t she be preparing to get up on stage in her own classroom? Why…

Xi Xi tugged on her mother’s clothes and blinked up at her mother as she said, “Mom, why didn’t you come over to my class?” She looked disappointed and upset.

He Xiyan looked at her daughter and crouched down to stroke her daughter’s face.

“Xi Xi, I can’t leave your brother alone. If I leave, he’ll be all alone in this classroom,” she said.

“He’ll be fine even if he is alone,” Xi Xi said as she looked at her brother.

She suddenly wished that she didn’t have a brother since he was always competing with her for her mother’s attention.

Yuan Yuan looked at his sister and thought that his sister was being unreasonable.

Then, the little girl, Yue Yue approached them. She looked at this tall man before she looked at Yuan Yuan and said, “Yuan Yuan, is this your father? Your father is so tall.”

Yue Yue felt as though she couldn’t even see this man’s face since he was as tall as a pillar.

Yuan Yuan froze and naturally turned to look at Ye Hao. However, he quickly turned away since he didn’t want to look at this detestable uncle who was Xi Xi’s father.

“No, he isn’t my dad,” Yuan Yuan said coldly and a flash of irritation crossed his eyes.

Yue Yue said, “Oh…”

Ye Hao’s brows slammed together and he looked both embarrassed and upset.

He looked down at Yuan Yuan, this child who used to call him ‘dad’. He still remembered doting on this child. Yuan Yuan used to be very close to him and would run up to him calling him ‘dad’ whenever he came home. Yet, in a blink of an eye, three years had passed since.

He wished that he could turn back time to return to the period when they had been a family of four, when Yan Yan and himself had been a loving couple before any conflict or arguments came between them. They had once used to be a happy family.

If he hadn’t allowed her to lose custody of Yuan Yuan and if he hadn’t doubted her fidelity time and time again, they would still be a family of four and Yuan Yuan would still be calling him ‘dad’.”

“Yuan Yuan…” Ye Hao said as he turned to Yuan Yuan. For some reason, he didn’t want this child to treat him like a stranger. He even wanted Yuan Yuan to be as close to him as he was before.

Yuan Yuan turned away and pretended not to have heard him.

He did not have a good impression of Uncle Ye for he remembered Uncle Ye hitting his mom and him.

He Xiyan felt a little awkward because she noticed that many parents had turned to look at them. She felt very ill at ease with so many pairs of eyes on them.

Fortunately, two teachers walked over and said through their loudhailers, “Alright, could the students from Class 3 come over here and line up in a row? Parents, you may head toward the music hall now.”

Yuan Yuan had walked to the front of the line and stood right in front.

He Xiyan looked at the time before she took Xi Xi’s hand and led her out of the classroom.

She had to send her daughter to her own class so that she could get ready for her performance with the rest of her classmates.
