Chapter 474 - He Would Starve Together with Her

“Aunty…” Yuan Yuan stretched out his tiny arms and ran toward Qin Xiaoyu in excitement when he spotted her.

Qin Xiaoyu was also looking at Yuan Yuan and a small smile danced on her lips without her realizing when she saw him but her smile froze when she saw Yuan Yuan’s swollen eyes.

“Yuan Yuan…” Qin Xiaoyu knelt down, her heart aching for the child, and reached through the metal grates to gently stroke Yuan Yuan’s flushed cheeks. She had never seen the child so haggard.

Li Qin quickly pulled Yuan Yuan away and said sullenly, “Thanks for dropping by but could I ask you to take all these things away? Yuan Yuan doesn’t lack anything here and even if he does, we would buy him new ones.”

Li Qin’s voice dripped with condescension and treated Qin Xiaoyu like a lowly servant.

Qin Xiaoyu’s face flushed in anger at Li Qin’s attitude.

She glared angrily at Li Qin and her eyes flashed with rage.

“Are you insane?” She couldn’t help but ask. She simply couldn’t stand this middle-aged woman’s arrogant attitude.

Menglin quickly held her back and said, “Alright, Xiaoyu. Let’s head back. We’ve completed our mission by delivering these things. They have the right to decide whether to accept these items.”

Menglin only wanted to leave peacefully.

Qin Xiaoyu scoffed coldly. This middle-aged woman got on her nerves each time they met and she couldn’t wait for this old lady to go to hell.

Yuan Yuan suddenly grabbed Li Qin’s hand tightly and said anxiously, “Aunty… Aunty…” when he saw that Qin Xiaoyu was about to leave.

Yuan Yuan kept calling out to them and his childish voice sounded extremely hoarse, which made Qin Xiaoyu feel even worse.

She turned around to look at Yuan Yuan, her eyes filling with tears. She longed to go over to hold Yuan Yuan but the Mo family didn’t even want to open the gates.

She waved at Yuan Yuan and said, “Yuan Yuan, you must be good. Your mother will come visit you in a couple of days.”

She didn’t know how else to comfort the child and she could tell that he hadn’t gotten used to his surroundings, which was why he seemed so unhappy.

Yuan Yuan pouted and burst into tears once more. He cried even harder as he saw the car driving further and further away from him.

“Alright, don’t cry. Your grandmother’s here,” Li Qin stretched out her hand in an effort to comfort him but Yuan Yuan forcibly pushed her hand aside, then walked toward the door, as though he was trying to vent his anger. He gripped the metal grates of the iron gates and shook them with all his might.

At the same time, in a luxurious first-class airplane cabin, a couple sat side by side. The man had tried a couple of times to hold his wife’s hand but she kept her gaze fixed on the window and stuck her hands into her pockets.

She stared blankly out of the window and refused to say a word. She didn’t even try the drinks or food that the cabin crew had served.

Ye Hao asked for a cup of fruit juice and brought it to his wife’s mouth as he said tenderly, “Yan Yan, have something to eat. You didn’t have anything the entire morning.” If this went on, she might end up with gastric problems.

He Xiyan pursed her lips tightly. She didn’t open her mouth, neither did she respond to his words. It was just as though she couldn’t hear him. She felt full and didn’t want to eat at all.

Ye Hao stopped trying to get her to eat when he saw her reject the food. Since she wasn’t eating, he wouldn’t eat either. He decided to starve along with her.
