She did not mind even if it hurt her body. She was willing to bear the pain. She loved her child since this would be her closest relative in this lifetime and would be her family for life.
Ye Hao came back with dinner. It was a light meal since she was not able to stomach oily food.
He helped her up to lean against the bedside, then he opened the cover of the lunchbox, scooped a spoonful of soup, blew twice gently on it before raising the spoon to her lips.
“Come, Yan Yan, have some of this.”
He Xiyan opened her mouth and allowed that man to feed her the soup one spoonful at a time. The soup was sweet and she felt this sweetness in her heart as well.
A faint smile danced on her lips and she stared at the man in front of her. This was her husband who she would spend the rest of her life with. She only realized that she could be doted on and loved like that after she was together with him. She wished he could have appeared earlier in her life, then perhaps she might have never had anything to do with Mo Yixuan.
Ye Hao coughed softly.
“Why do you keep staring at me?” He said with a frown. He was a little uncomfortable by her stare. This woman seemed to like staring at him from time to time and he didn’t know what she was thinking either.
“I think you’re handsome, so handsome that you look good enough to eat,” He Xiyan said with a smile, revealing two sets of pearly white teeth.
“I already knew that,” Ye Hao said smugly, as though it was a fact. He reached out to pinch her cheeks affectionately.
“Quick, eat up.” He handed the entire bowl of soup to He Xiyan and watched her finish her food. Then, he peeled an apple for her.
An apple signified safety and all he wanted for his wife and child to be safe and sound.
The sky darkened and they could see the fireworks in the night sky from the window, colorful and dazzling.
He Xiyan held Ye Hao’s hands and intertwined their fingers together. She remembered that she had sat on the stone steps by the river side until midnight on the same day last year. She had been all alone then, without any relatives by her side. However, on Lunar New Year’s Eve this year, she was no longer alone. She had Yuan Yuan, the child in her belly, and a husband who truly cared for her.
This was the kind of happiness she yearned for and at the moment, it seemed like it was truly here.
However, in an apartment 20 kilometers from where they were, another man was spending this festive season alone.
This was the first time Mo Yixuan was spending Lunar New Year’s eve alone.
He hadn’t eaten the entire day. The pizza he ordered was on the table but he had no appetite at all.
He stood in front of the window and looked out coldly at the city that was very well-lit and the festive fireworks in the sky. The fireworks were very beautiful but it was meaningless admiring them alone.
He dug out his phone and sent many red packets via WeChat to his mother with each red packet containing 30 dollars. He wasn’t even sure how many he sent, then he opened up all his group chats, the ones with colleagues, classmates and so on, and continued sending out many red packets, the kind of red packets where the amount one got depend on luck. He sent dozens of red packets out, each packet containing 300 dollars.
He was very rich and the thing he didn’t lack most was money.
Then, he took out his bag and took out large wads of cash. He held at least five to six hundred bills, then he threw them out of the window. The bills flew everywhere and fell like snowflakes from the 28th story, each bill was a 10 dollar.
He lit up another cigarette and watched as a group of people pounced frantically to snatch the bills he flung down.
