Chapter 891 - He Had to Meet a Friend



Chapter 891: He Had to Meet a Friend

He Xiyan didn’t know who was on the other end of the line but she heard Jiahang apologize twice before he finally said, “Alright,” and hung up the phone.

“Who was that, Jiahang?” He Xiyan couldn’t help but ask. She usually wouldn’t take such an interest in his phone calls but his repeated apologies made her curious to know who he had been speaking to.

Chen Jiahang turned around and there was a trace of annoyance in his expression. He pursed his lips and looked a little conflicted. Then, he finally walked up to the vanity table and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Yan Yan, I’m going to meet a friend. He was used to be my comrade in the military and he has come by Ming City to visit,” he said.

Oh...

He Xiyan’s eyes suddenly widened. She didn’t respond but her clear eyes kept blinking up at him.

She wondered what kind of comrade would come all the way to visit him without stepping foot into their house.

“I’ll be back soon and I’ll get the grocery shopping done in the afternoon,” he continued and smiled awkwardly.

He Xiyan nodded and no one could tell how uneasy she felt at the moment. She knew that Jiahang was not telling the truth and she could even guess who this ‘comrade’ was.

He might have assumed that she didn’t hear who was on the other end of the line earlier but she had. She couldn’t hear their conversation but she could tell that it was a woman’s voice.

She couldn’t believe that Jiahang had lied to her.

Chen Jiahang changed into a pair of leather shoes after they finished having breakfast, gave He Xiyan and quick hug and walked toward the door after he took the keys.

“Yan Yan, you should try to sleep a little more. I’ll handle whatever that needs to be handled at the shop in the afternoon,” Jiahang said with a smile before he left.

He Xiyan stared at his retreating back, at this familiar yet unfamiliar man and she suddenly felt her heart clench. She slowly looked down.

“Sure!” she answered.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang and He Xiyan’s gaze fell on the wooden door that was tightly shut.

She stared at the wooden door for a long while before she finally turned around and headed toward the dining area.

Her son was still having breakfast inside.

Yuan Yuan was eating a bowl of sliced pork noodles and after eating most of it, he pushed whatever he couldn’t finish aside and started to peel an egg.

“Mom, why are you crying?” Yuan Yuan asked when he looked up and saw the tears swimming in her eyes.

He Xiyan froze and quickly wiped at the corners of her eyes. She was so upset that she hadn’t even noticed that she was crying.

“Mom, don’t cry. You’ll look terrible if you cry,” Yuan Yuan said. He noticed that there was a black substance around the corners of her eyes that looked like dirt.

He pulled a piece of tissue from the dining table and stuffed it in his mother’s hands. Then, he motioned for her to wipe at her eyes.

He Xiyan went to the bathroom and noticed that her makeup had smeared when she looked at the mirror. Her eyes looked weird because she had been crying and there was something black around the corners of her eyes.

She quickly cleaned up and went back to the bedroom to touch up her makeup.

——

At the East Lake Park of Ming City. The weather wasn’t good today and it was a little cloudy with a chilly breeze, so the park wasn’t as lively as it usually was and only several people could be seen walking in the park.

A girl was staring at her phone in a small wooden hut by the lake and she would often stare out at the road as though she was waiting for someone.
