Chapter 1203: She Was Going to Attend a Wedding Banquet?

“Mom, what happened to your eyes?” Xi Xi asked when she quickly realized that there was something strange about her mother’s eyes. Why were her mother’s eyes so swollen? Her mother’s eyes were always large but now, they looked really small and she looked like she had monolids.

She stared at her daughter and knew that she looked terrible because she couldn’t sleep the entire night.

Her daughter had probably gotten a shock when she saw how terrible she looked.

“I didn’t sleep well the previous night because I had coffee,” she said miserably. That was a lie. While it was true that she couldn’t sleep after drinking coffee, she didn’t have coffee the day before.

Ye Hao had also taken note of how haggard she seemed. He walked over, gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder and said, “What’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

He guessed that she didn’t sleep well the previous night and wondered if it was because he had moved into the castle or if it was because she had been thinking about the words he told her the night before.

He read too much into the situation and couldn’t help but feel excited at the thought of this possibility.

He Xiyan pursed her lips and shook her head at Ye Hao.

“I’m fine! I just couldn’t fall asleep the night before,” she said.

“You should get some breakfast, then return to your bedroom to rest,” Ye Hao said. He couldn’t contain the concern and happiness in his eyes.

If Yan Yan couldn’t sleep because of him, at the very least, this showed that she couldn’t forget about him. This had to be the case.

He Xiyan sat down and finished a bowl of noodles. She didn’t have a good appetite and forced herself to finish her food.

She went to the living room after she had finished breakfast and watched as Ye Hao said something to her daughter. She gave her daughter’s shoulder a pat and said, “Xi Xi, my good friend is getting married tomorrow so I’ll be heading down to Chuan City today and I’ll only return the next day after I attend her wedding banquet. I can’t take you to the mall to buy new clothes today, so why don’t you get your dad to take you?”

She sounded a little apologetic.

Xi Xi said, “Ah...”

She looked at her mother in bewilderment and her eyes had widened in surprise. She was just planning out the day’s itinerary with her dad, so why did her mother have to attend a wedding banquet all of a sudden?

She remembered that her mother had a friend who lived in Chuan City, but why was it such a coincidence that she was getting married that day?

“Can’t you turn it down? Mom...” Xi Xi said as she looked at her mom in confusion. This was a rare opportunity to head outside with both her parents, so she couldn’t believe that her mom was raining on her parade.

Her mom could always get someone else to pass her red packet to the couple instead of personally attending the wedding banquet.

He Xiyan laughed awkwardly and shook her head.

“No, I’m on rather good terms with that schoolmate and she once helped me out, so I have to personally be there on her wedding day,” she said.

Xi Xi was speechless and her good mood earlier was ruined. She stopped smiling as well but she couldn’t stop her mom from attending her friend’s wedding banquet.

“Alright,” she said sulkily and looked out of the door in disappointment.

Ye Hao wasn’t disappointed. He looked at He Xiyan and the tenderness in his eyes was clear for all to see.

“I’ll go with you, Yan Yan,” he said.

He knew that she had a friend named Yang Jing who lived in Chuan City. Yan Yan had stayed over at this friend’s place when she was on the run with Yuan Yuan.

He guessed that she was the friend Yan Yan was referring to.

“It’s okay,” He Xiyan cut him off without a second thought. She wasn’t actually going to attend a wedding banquet and even if she was, she couldn’t possibly let Ye Hao tag along.
