At Lin City, a luxurious yacht sailed out of the harbor.
There were more than 10 people on the yacht, most of them were men. There were only two or three women, including Han Xue.
Han Xue sat in a private room on the yacht and her son Ye Chenyu sat beside her. She held her son tightly in her arms as though she was afraid that her son would be afraid.
A tall man sat opposite them. He wore a black jacket and a gray postman cap. His eyes were amber-colored and deep-set and his eyes were extremely cold. He gave off a melancholic air.
His face was thin and long, so his features stood out even more which made him look like a statue.
“Ye Yi…” Han Xue called out his name and she looked at him anxiously and uneasily. “I’ve told you not to see me or Xiao Yu in the next few years,” she said. She was a little annoyed because she didn’t want to be here.
Ye Yi shot her a small smile but his gaze never left Xiao Yu who was in Han Xue’s arms. This child looked a little like him but he was not an exact copy of himself. The child only took after his eyes and his nose; they had the same amber-colored eyes and the same hooked nose.
“Xiao Yu… come, let me hold you,” Ye Yi said as he rose to his feet and stretched out his hands to take the child from Han Xue. This was his son.
Xiao Yu hurriedly snuggled into his mother’s arms and wrapped his arms tightly around his mother’s neck. He looked terrified of his father.
Han Xue gently stroked his back and said, “Xiao Yu, this is your uncle. Don’t you remember seeing this uncle at your grandmother’s house?”
Xiao Yu did not respond but his arms tightly around his mother’s neck.
He was very frightened because there were so many uncles who he had never seen in his life here on the yacht.
Han Xue stopped trying to force her son to hug Ye Yi when she saw how afraid her son was. “Ye Yi, Xiao Yi is a little timid. Don’t frighten him.”
Ye Yi heaved a sigh and returned to his seat. He whistled for his henchwoman.
“Bring the child out to play,” he said calmly and gestured for the woman to bring the child out of the room.
Although the child was only 2 years old, he could speak and could also recall the things he heard, so he couldn’t afford to let the child listen in on their conversation.
“Ma ma…” Xiao Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed at her clothes when his mother put him down.
Han Xue gently stroked his face and said comfortingly, “Xiao Yu, be good. Why don’t you go out to play with the fish outside with this aunty?”
Xiao Yu shook his head. He didn’t want to go out to look at the fish. He wanted to be with his mother.
Unfortunately, his protests were in vain and he was forcefully carried out of the house by the henchwoman.
Silence fell upon the room. Han Xue and Ye Yi sat opposite each other.
Ye Yi’s face was cold but he couldn’t rein in his excitement and this was reflected in his eyes.
He finally managed to see his son and his son was already more than two years old.
Han Xue’s hands bunched around her skirts and she looked a little annoyed and conflicted.
“Ye Yi, please don’t look for us in the future,” Han Xue warned him. “It is too dangerous and we’d be done for once Ye Hao finds out.”
Han Xue thought of her husband-in-name; she knew Ye Hao well and also knew that he would beat her to death if he discovered her secret.
The corners of Ye Yi’s lips curved upward and he smiled ironically at her.
