Chapter 12 The Woman Whom He Did Not Love but for Whom His Heart Ached (2/2)

Four years ago, he received a birthday present from a girl. It was a handmade birthday cake and a $1,500 watch that the girl bought with the money she had earned as a tutor. The watch he wore back then was worth way more than the one he had received, but still, he had worn it ever since. He had also received a card along with all those gifts, which read:

Brother Yixuan, I really, really like you. What shall I do? Can I be your girlfriend? I will love you more than any of your other admirers, truly! The girl then left her number at the back of the card.

He had only scoffed when he read the contents of the card, then dialled the number at the back and said, ””Book a room in a hotel and wait for me.”

He assumed that he had scared the girl away with his words, but unexpectedly, that night he received a reply from that girl, ”He Lan Hotel, Room 803.”

His heart really ached.

”Yan Yan…” Mo Yixuan suddenly cupped his wife's face in his hands.

When that lovely face came clearly into view, he felt an intense pain, as though something was chewing on his heart.

He reached out and gently wiped the tears away from her face and her eyes which had almost been swollen shut.

She looked extremely gaunt, to the point where it made him feel even worse.

He bent down, picked her up, then walked to the bedside, gently laid her on the bed and tucked her in.

”Rest well, I'm off to work.” He pinched her face, as was his usual habit. Then, he strode toward the door. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Yixuan…”

He Xiyan swiftly sat up when she saw that he was about to leave.

Mo Yixuan turned back and the pain and uncertainty he felt was written clearly all over his face.

”Let me think about it.”

He heaved a long sigh, but still walked out of that door without any hesitation. He needed time to think.
