The dinner turned into an unhappy event because Han Yifeng did not sign the contract on time. It was already 7 p.m. when Han Yifeng arrived and everyone had been waiting for a while at the dining table.

Xi Jiyang and Deng Wenwen went over, but Xi Mushan was busy, so he was absent.

The dinner did not go well. As a result, the Yue family left angrily soon after dinner. Upon seeing their reaction, Elder Han was enraged as well and he swiftly left after that too.

“Yifeng, didn’t we talk about it already? Why aren’t you signing it now?”

On the staircase outside of the villa, Huang Ziyao who was on her way back could not hold back her curiosity and asked Han Yifeng, concern in her eyes, “Be honest with me. Are you doubting the legitimacy of the child? I saw Secretary w.a.n.g going to visit a doctor the other day. I could feel that something wasn’t right in addition to the chaos recently… but Xinyi insists that it’s yours…”

Han Yifeng took a deep breath and looked at Huang Ziyao, his cold face softening slightly. “It’s alright. That’s my child, but things are a bit complicated between Xinyi and I. There’re a lot of things I need to consider. Mother, please give me some time. I hope I can have a marriage like yours and father’s… a one-and-only kind of marriage.”

Huang Ziyao was stunned for a moment. After giving it some thought, she nodded. “Okay, I’m sure you’re exhausted by all the things happening lately. Sigh, was I wrong to support you and Xinyi back then? Now that I think about it, Xiaye might have suited you better. Plus, your grandfather likes Xiaye more. He cares a lot about reputation. If it weren’t for the incident in the military school, he wouldn’t have agreed so quickly. Well, since you’re sure the child inside Xinyi is yours, then you have to bear the responsibility.”

Huang Ziyao sounded a little depressed. She stopped when she saw Han Yifeng not being very pleased. “No matter what, the Han family needs to be responsible. Moreover, the Han family doesn’t have many descendants. Do you understand me?”

“Yes, Mother, I understand.”

“Mmm, think hard about it then, I’ll head back now. I’ve left several servants here to help, so don’t worry.” Huang Ziyao then turned around and went back.

Han Yifeng watched her figure disappear in the dark. He was staring out blankly with a complex expression on his face until Xi Xinyi called out to him from behind, “Yifeng!”

Han Yifeng swiveled to see Xi Xinyi in a loose white dress. She was about five steps away from him, and the cold wind blew her dress as her tiny frame stood there, making her seem so frail.

Under the dim light, he saw her familiar face once again, realizing that she looked haggard.

She stood there quietly as she caressed her still flat stomach. She bit her lip and seemed hesitant to speak as Han Yifeng’s quiet eyes looked complicated. He gave it some thought but he was not sure what to say.

As if trying to prove something, Xi Xinyi stepped forward and grabbed Han Yifeng’s hand. She clutched him tightly as she explained, “I know my ways have hurt Xiaye, and it made you fed up as well, but I just want to beg you for a chance. I’m willing to stand beside you anew. I’m sorry, Yifeng… I love you too much. I’ve been in love with you for over a decade and we’ve shared numerous pleasant memories together. Are they not enough to touch your heart? Let the past stay in the past. I’ll change in the future. I will!”

“I’ve thought about it a lot in the past few days. Sister is just amazing. Although she always seemed cold, distant, and stubborn, once you’re attracted to her, it’ll be very difficult to pull yourself away. Yifeng, I’m a woman. I understand a woman’s charm well, just like how Father has been missing Aunt Shen all these years. Everyone thinks that Father and Mother are a couple with mutual respect, but I know very well that he never once forgot about Aunt Shen… and Sister is so similar to her…”

Xi Xinyi’s tone sounded frail and hurt. “I’m afraid that one day, you’ll be like Father and only set your eyes on Sister. If you leave me, I’ll surely break down, so I…”

Her beautiful face darkened as she apologized to Han Yifeng genuinely.

Han Yifeng was startled after listening to Xi Xinyi’s words. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened them and said, “Go back in now. Your body isn’t very well.”

He then started walking back into the villa slowly.

Xi Xinyi’s strained body softened when she noticed his calm expression. She released her clenched fists and grabbed onto Han Yifeng’s arm.

…

It was already late night when they left Imperial Sky Entertainment Club.

“Zimo, let Su Chen stay over at your place tonight. He’s drunk a lot. Send me a text when you get home.” Mu Yuchen tugged Xi Xiaye with one hand, while he handed Su Chen’s jacket to Zhou Zimo.

Zhou Zimo grabbed the jacket as he replied, “Don’t worry. You guys should head back now too. It’s late!”

Mu Yuchen nodded and went to the car with Xi Xiaye, waving to them.

“Give me the car keys,” Xi Xiaye said as they arrived at the car. Her hand went straight into his s.h.i.+rt pocket, and she soon found the car keys and unlocked the car.

“Are you really going to the racecourse with them tomorrow?” She asked as she was putting on the seatbelt.

“Mmm, Zimo wanted to talk about something. I’m just taking this chance to go take a look there.”

“I won’t go with you then. I need to go back to the Shen Residence. Grandpa and Mother are quite worried about me. Can you help me ask your mother how’s the situation with my father?”

“What are you worried about? We can apply for a private trial. They’ll consider it and I’m sure it’ll be fine,” Mu Yuchen replied.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath before nodding. “We’ll see then.”

She was thinking whether she should tell him about meeting Qi Lei, but a flashback suddenly went through her mind. In the end, she did not mention it.
