The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 1073: It Is Yuan Yuan’s Father

The car headed toward the city center.

Mo Yixuan drove at a moderate speed the entire way and a faint smile danced on his lips. Yuan Yuan was also smiling. Both father and son wore almost the same expression on their faces.

Xi Xi hummed the new children song she had just learned while she leaned into her mother’s embrace.

“Mom, did I sing well?” she asked happily and revealed her tiny white teeth.

He Xiyan pinched her daughter’s soft and rosy cheeks.

“You did really well, my dear,” she said. She didn’t want to hurt her daughter’s pride. In fact, her daughter had sung the wrong lyrics and had even gone off-tune.

However, Xi Xi was only four years old, so it was already impressive how she managed to hum several lines of the song.

Yuan Yuan turned around and glanced at his sister. He wanted to tell her that she sounded horrible and had even gone off-tune. He couldn’t believe that his mother said that she sounded good.

He Xiyan shot him a warning look. She was afraid that Yuan Yuan would speak the truth, which would result in Xi Xi kicking up a huge fuss later.

The car stopped near the food center and Mo Yixuan had already made reservations for a private room in advance.

During the evenings, the restaurant was extremely crowded and it was almost completely full.

He Xiyan sat with Xi Xi while Mo Yixuan sat with Yuan Yuan on the other end.

They were a group of two adults and two children, so they looked like a happy family of four.

Mo Yixuan ordered the children and He Xiyan’s favorite dishes. The white-boiled shrimp, in particular, was very popular with the children. He put on a pair of gloves and helped the children peel the shrimps.

“Xi Xi, this is for you,” Mo Yixuan said as he handed her a shrimp that he had already peeled. He was about to place it into her bowl when she quickly moved her bowl away.

“I don’t want that,” she said with a frown.

She didn’t want Yuan Yuan’s father to help her peel shrimps.

He Xiyan hadn’t been expecting Mo Yixuan to show kindness toward her daughter, so she was a little surprised. She frowned and shook her head at Mo Yixuan, gesturing for him not to interact with Xi Xi.

Her children were very perceptive, so she didn’t want them to say anything inappropriate later.

The atmosphere turned a little awkward.

He Xiyan wasn’t willing to speak to Mo Yixuan either, so she kept putting more food into her children’s plates. Mo Yixuan was bursting with the words he wanted to say to his ex-wife but he couldn’t say these words to her in front of the children.

Then, Xi Xi’s mobile phone in her backpack rang. She quickly unzipped her backpack and took out her mobile phone. Her mobile phone was specifically made for children and was similar to Yuan Yuan’s. She could only send texts and photographs, send WeChats and news. It only had the most basic functions installed. The manufacturer of the mobile phone had specifically designed this phone to cater to the needs of children.

“Hello, dad...” Xi Xi said as she chewed on her prawn. Her voice sounded a little muffled because of the food in her mouth.

“Babe, what are you doing?” Ye Hao asked.

Xi Xi accidentally put him on speaker, so everyone in the room could hear him.

“I’m eating at the food square,” Xi Xi said adorably as she quickly swallowed her food.

Ye Hao said, “Oh, did your mother take you out?”

Xi Xi scratched her head, turned to glance at Mo Yixuan before she said, “No, Yuan Yuan’s father brought as here.”

Xi Xi didn’t really know how to lie, so she told the truth. She didn’t see how ashen her father’s face turned when he heard her words.

The phone suddenly went silent.

Xi Xi froze and thought that the line had been disconnected. However, when she picked up her phone, she saw that the numbers were still running on her phone. Her father did not hang up on her.

“Hello, dad, are you still there?” she asked.
