He Xiyan lowered her eyes and her tone was both serious with a tinge of helplessness.

Ye Hao frowned and stared hard at the woman in front of him with his amber eyes. He had still not given up hope.

He Xiyan nodded apologetically.

“Ye Hao, I…” She pursed her lips, “I’ve actually just divorced my husband one month ago, I’m sorry!”

She was not a good match for him, neither would she be able to provide the kind of love and marriage he wanted.

Ye Hao’s heart sank, as though someone had poured cold water all over it.

He had been so sure she was about to profess her love for him, but had not expected her to reject him.

He did not expect her to be a divorcee, he had assumed that she had just been through a bad break-up.

He Xiyan caught his change of expression and truly did not want to hurt him.

“Ye Hao,” she said as she called his name, her lips curving into a smile, as though she was giving him her blessings.

“I hope that you would be able to find someone better.” Hopefully someone a lot better than her.

Ye Hao’s frown deepened and all kinds of expressions flashed past his eyes. His breathing also became heavier.

To him, what she said was not a blessing, but a rope that tightened around his heart, which made him feel terrible. He wanted to get married but had never considered a divorcee. Yet, this woman in front of him was his ideal type, and someone who both himself and his mother approved of.

He did not want to give her up in search of someone he was not even sure would be a better match for him.

Ye Hao pursed his lips and his fingers that were twisted together was a reflection of his inner turmoil.

“What if I don’t care if you are a divorcee!” He finally said, following his heart and verbalized his decision after struggling with himself.

He thought that these words would be enough for this woman to let go of her anxiety and wariness. Unfortunately, he was wrong.

He Xiyan shook her head again. This time, she squeezed her eyes shut as she shook her head.

When she opened her eyes, she looked toward her belly, where a child was currently growing inside her.

Ye Hao followed her gaze to her belly, which was still flat. However, as he looked at it, he felt like his eyes were stinging.

She…

His eyes widened suddenly. He immediately thought of something and this thought caused his heart to clench.

“You’re pregnant?” He asked as he stared at her in disbelief. There was jealousy in his eyes too, and it was driving him crazy.

He Xiyan nodded once more.

“Yes, Ye Hao, I’m pregnant. I’m sorry for not informing you that day at the hospital.”

He Xiyan felt even worse as she remembered that day. If she had told him then, their relationship would have ended at that point. Then, he would not have dropped by her flat for a meal and neither would his mother gift her presents, all these things would not have happened.

In any case, everything was her fault. She had thought that they could be friends, but she was wrong. A single, young man would not want to be on purely planktonic terms with another woman.

She looked at Ye Hao guiltily. As she looked at him, that man’s expression suddenly changed.

Bang!

A fist slammed against the sofa.

Full of hatred and crazed jealousy.

“You…” Ye Hao reached out to pinch her chin and stared heatedly at her.

“Why are you so irritating?” He raised his brows and his eyes turned terrifying, as though they had been injected with poison. Everything seemed to have gone out of control.

He suddenly lifted her chin and his lips came down firmly on hers, invasive and plundering.

He ignored her attempts at resisting and used his tongue to force her mouth open, then deepened the kiss.

He Xiyan was both shocked and afraid. Her eyes widened as she tried to push that man away but he gripped her hands in his and rendered her immobile, so she had no choice but let him continue his assault on her.

Ye Hao was incensed and pressed the lower half of his body against hers. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to make her his.
