BXBX NOVEL Chapter 616 - Cold Castle
Chapter 616: Cold Castle
Several people had gathered at the door of the dining hall, including butler Lu and some maids.
They were shocked with their mouths wide open.
They simply could not believe everything in front of their eyes.
“Sister Yan...” The first rushing in was Qin Xiaoyu. When she saw both Yuanyuan and He Xiyan sitting on the ground and that Yuanyuan was crying sadly as if he had been abused and was scared, her eyes became wet immediately.
He Xiyan wiped the tears on Yuanyuan’s face, and then patted the child gently on the back, checking to see if he was hurt. Since mother and son could share each others’ feelings, the cries of the child seemed to be a knife stirring her heart.
She held her hand against the ground and stood up after quite a while. Then she held up Yuanyuan who was crying louder and louder and handed him over to Qin Xiaoyu.
Yuanyuan, however, held mom’s hands firmly, unwilling to be held by Qin Xiaoyu.
He Xiyan stroked the child’s red face, forcing out a smile.
“Yuanyuan, go back with the aunt first, okay? I can’t take you with me today...” Afraid that the child would be scared again, He Xiyan could only force the child into Qin Xiaoyu’s arms, and then said, Xiaoyu, please help me send this child back to Mo family right now. Hurry up!
He Xiyan was anxious as well as angry. At this moment, however, she knew for sure that Yuanyuan could no longer stay here. Now she was in conflicts with Ye Hao and they were about to divorce, so she could not leave the child here to behold everything. Besides, she was more afraid that the man would beat her child again. What had happened just now was extremely horrible.
Yuanyuan, held by Qin Xiaoyu, began to struggle and move violently. His cries grew louder and louder, and his hands and feet moved constantly. He even tugged Qin Xiaoyu’s hair, intending to get out of control.
Her hair being tugged by Yuanyuan, she felt her scalp numb. Gritting her teeth painfully, she, however, dared not to let go of him, only holding Yuanyuan even more tightly and letting him not move any more.
“Good Yuanyuan, don’t cry...” Qin Xiaoyu had no idea what to do with this crying child. She could only hold him and hurried out of this dining hall, then out of the castle. No matter how Yuanyuan cried and screamed, she would not loosen her hands.
Yuanyuan’s cries were louder and louder, but further as well. Not until the child’s cry was no longer be audible did He Xiyan walked to the door of the dining hall. She then pushed aside the servants with great force who were standing in the entrance watching for joy.
How indifferent these servants were. She thought that she treated them well. At this moment, however, they all behaved like outsiders who had nothing to do with this.
This might be the reality, she thought. She was not the owner of this castle, therefore, in their eyes, she was always an outsider.
How cruel and miserable human nature was!
Out of the dining hall, He Xiyan then went back to her bedroom. Instead of closing the door, she fell directly into the sofa, waiting for the man to come, to say something as well as to bring that divorce papers.
At this time, she understood that there was no possibility that they would return to what they were in the past. They could no longer live with their marriage.
All that in the past was like a fancy bubble. The bubble burst now, leaving nothing behind.
Clear sound of footsteps came along from the corridor. It was leather shoes thudding on the floor, very loud and clear. One footstep after another, the man was getting closer and closer.
Soon the sound rose just near her ears.
Looking up, He Xiyan saw the man before her eyes, who was familiar but unfathomable to her, her husband.
