Chapter 1106: A Year Later

Time flew by and soon, one year had passed.

The bustling Ye City was once again shrouded in mist during an early autumn morning. The visibility range was less than 100 meters.

Although restrictions have been put in place and many factories that contributed significantly to the high pollution levels had stopped production and moved away, the air quality did not improve.

The elderly and the children usually had a weaker immunity, so it was a disaster for them to be constantly inhaling such polluted air.

It was the first of September, an important day for families with children.

He Xiyan rose early and went to check on her children after she washed up. Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi had become even more sensible a year later. Yuan Yuan had already gotten changed and was ready for school.

Xi Xi had worn a dress that she thought was her prettiest dress, a pink dress made of Western silk. She sat in front of the vanity and said happily, “Mom, I want to do my hair up in braids.”

She was supposed to attend one more year of kindergarten before advancing to elementary school but Xi Xi refused to continue attending kindergarten and she would insist on attending elementary school just like her brother every day.

He Xiyan contemplated her request for two weeks before she finally acceded. Xi Xi was a spoiled child but she had become a lot more sensible. She was also very clever and could write more than thirty Chinese characters at her age.

He Xiyan moved a stool over to sit beside her daughter. Xi Xi was becoming vainer and refused to cut her hair short no matter how she tried to coax her. Thus, the first thing she had to do every morning after she washed up was to tie her daughter’s hair. She gave her daughter a princess-like hairstyle and added a pink butterfly hair clip.

Xi Xi happily hopped off her chair, clambered up her mother’s knee and dropped a soft kiss on her cheek.

“Thanks mom…” she said happily as she twirled in a circle before she ran to the study to get her pink school bag.

He Xiyan couldn’t help but heave a sigh.

She stared at her reflection in her mirror. She had aged by a year even though she still looked the same. She would be 31 years old after 26th October this year.

As her children grew older, she would also continue to age.

He Xiyan drove the car out from the garage after they had breakfast and sent her children to school.

It was the first day of school, so she had to make several payments, collect their textbooks, and send the children to their respective classes to meet with their form teachers.

He Xiyan arrived in front of a school forty minutes later. This was an expensive private elementary school and the best elementary school in Ye City. The students who studied here were all children of the rich.

He Xiyan opened the car door and her children tumbled out of the car. She saw her children start running off in different directions.

“Dad…”

Xi Xi and Yuan Yuan cried out as they ran happily toward their respective fathers.

Mo Yixuan stood in front of the gates of the elementary school. He had been waiting here for the past 30 minutes while Ye Hao had just arrived. He was also waiting for his daughter.

They were both very busy but they made time to be here today.

“Dad, I knew you’d come,” Xi Xi said as she looked up at her father and beamed happily.

Ye Hao took her hand in his. His gaze was tender and a smile danced on his lips but he wasn’t looking at his daughter but at He Xiyan who approached them from a distance, his ex-wife.

He frowned and he suddenly felt tears prick at his eyes.

Yan Yan was still keeping him at arm’s length just as she used to do and their conversation was mainly limited to their child.
