Yuan Yuan finally recovered after spending six days in the hospital. His fever had subsided and he stopped coughing. He returned to being his lively self and roamed around the ward excitedly, tugging at his father’s trousers one moment and his mother’s clothes the next.

 “Ma Ma, I want to look at fish…” Yuan Yuan said as he wrapped his arms around his mother’s legs and looked at his mother. His father had brought him to the underwater park the previous time and he had seen a lot of fish that were bigger than him and thoroughly enjoyed himself there, so he wanted to go back there again.

 After he recovered from his illness, all he wanted to do was to play.

 He Xiyan picked her child up and kissed his soft and chubby cheeks. Her precious child was becoming more handsome and adorable with each day.

 “Yuan Yuan, the fish at the underwater park have not been let out to play today, so you wouldn’t be able to see them,” He Xiyan said with a smile. Her mood had also improved when she saw that her child had recovered. It was also time for her to return home since it was already the 29th day of the last month on the lunar calendar. She had to return home to celebrate the new year with her husband, daughter, and her in-laws.

 Mo Yixuan had already finished the paperwork to get Yuan Yuan discharged and heaved a long sigh. While he was happy that his child was about to be discharged, for some reason, he felt a little sad since he didn’t know when he would have the opportunity to see her the next time.

 This had been a rare opportunity for him to interact with her and for them to share heartfelt words with each other. His heart felt empty now that she was about to leave.

 He Xiyan handed Yuan Yuan back to Mo Yixuan and picked up her own bag as she said worriedly, “I should get going. Remember to take good care of Yuan Yuan and make sure that he doesn’t fall sick again. The weather has been cold of late, so make sure he wears warmer clothes, and hire a nanny who would be more meticulous in caring for him.”

 All she wanted was for her child to grow up healthy and strong.

 Mo Yixuan smiled and he looked at her tenderly, his reluctance to part expressed clearly through his gaze.

 He pursed his lips but he didn’t respond and merely nodded. Then, he brought Yuan Yuan to a large room nearby since he didn’t want Yuan Yuan to notice when Yan Yan left. Yuan Yuan would definitely kick up a fuss if he noticed.

 He Xiyan packed up her bags, walked out of the hospital ward and left the hospital.

 She could hear the firecrackers being set off frequently outside since it was so close to Lunar New Year Eve, several families were already preparing to ring in the Lunar New Year.

 She arrived at the castle more than an hour later.

 The castle was extremely quiet and she couldn’t hear a single sound. After she entered the living room, she realized that she hadn’t come across a single person.

 She went upstairs and opened the door to the bedroom after her fingerprint was verified by the fingerprint reader. The bedroom was strangely quiet and the quilts were neatly folded.

 “Ye Hao…” He Xiyan called out as she faced the direction of the study but there was no response. It was obvious that her husband was not in the study room.

 She walked out and pushed open the door to Xi Xi’s room, only to find that it was completely empty. There was no sign of her nanny either.

 “Where is everybody?” He Xiyan’s voice rang out across the corridor.

 Yet, there was still no response.

 She took her phone and was about to call Ye Hao when she finally heard footsteps. Soon, A-Mu who was in charge of security at the castle during the Lunar New Year period appeared and said, “Madam, you’re finally home.”

 A-Mu nodded politely at He Xiyan. The castle would become extremely quiet during the Lunar New Year period and this year was no exception either. He was all alone in the castle with another security guard and there weren’t any chefs either, so they were forced to cook their own food.
