Chapter 1425: She Met Her Ex-Husband Again
She looked at the two familiar figures in the distance.
“Mo Ling…” she said loudly.
Mo Ling was helping his father, Mo Yixuan, out of the car.
Their silhouettes seemed very long as the sun shone above them, which made them seem a little lonely.
Mo Ling had spotted his mother and sister as well, so he waved at them and said to his mother, “Mom, what are you doing here?”
Mo Yixuan frowned and there was a brief flash of emotion in his eyes, as though he was a little worried.
He Xiyan and Xi Xi walked up to them and He Xiyan couldn’t hide her excitement and joy at seeing her son since it had been a while since they last met.
Xi Xi was equally happy to see her brother because it had been more than a year since she saw him.
“Bro, you’re becoming more and more handsome!” she said with a laugh as she gave him a hug.
Mo Ling smiled happily but there was still a trace of worry behind his smile. He gave his sister a pat on the shoulder and asked, “What are you doing here?”
This was the hospital, and he wondered if his mother and sister were here because they were ill.
Mo Ling looked at his sister before he turned to look at his mother.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, are you alright?”
He Xiyan smiled, walked over, and gave a son a gentle pat on his arm.
Her child seemed to have matured in the two months since she last saw him.
She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I’m just here for a regular check-up.”
She didn’t tell the truth and neither could she tell the truth. The fact that her daughter was pregnant before she was married was not something she was proud to announce.
Xi Xi laughed awkwardly and said, “Don’t worry. Look at us, we’re just fine.”
Then, she looked at Mo Yixuan who stood beside her brother. She was surprised to find how hard Uncle Mo had aged in the few years since she had last seen him. Uncle Mo used to look much younger than his age but he seemed to have aged so fast in a few years. He even looked older than her father.
“Uncle Mo…” Xi Xi said as she greeted him politely.
Mo Yixuan gave her a polite smile in return.
“Xi Xi, are you and your mother alright?” he asked.
He asked this question even though He Xiyan had already answered the question earlier because he was very surprised to have run into them here.
“Mom is here to accompany me for a check-up,” Xi Xi said with a smile.
Mo Yixuan’s gaze drifted to his ex-wife who had once been his wife many years ago.
He tried his best to control his feelings and maintain the smile on his face.
He stared at her and couldn’t bring himself to speak for some time.
They used to be each other’s closest companions but now, she was no longer his wife even though she was just in front of him.
It had been 24 years since they separated.
He Xiyan looked at the man in front of her with a smile.
“Have you been well?” she asked.
Mo Yixuan nodded.
“I’m much better and I’m here for a regular check-up,” he said.
He Xiyan added, “Take care of yourself and let Mo Ling handle the matters in the office. There’s no point worrying.”
She didn’t know why she said those words to him but she sincerely hoped that he would get better and also hoped that he would be able to be happy in the future.
She couldn’t help but feel sad when she saw his current state.
Mo Yixuan acknowledged her words.
He had many things he wished to tell her but he couldn’t bring himself to say those words, so he could only let those words fester in his heart.
