Hunting for Love for 101 Times Chapter 323 - Who was that man?

Chapter 323 Who was that man?

Hearing Ye Sichen’s words, Xia Nuan nodded slowly, “I know it. I’ll make myself get on well with her. But, Ye, the children are reluctant to leave now. Why not stay for a few days more?”
She knew that Mrs. Ni disliked her. She also remembered it clearly that Mrs. Ni told Ge Li to hurt her children. She was unwilling to go back to the island. She wanted to be with Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen frowned, “I know you like here. But, Nuan, we can’t live here for a long time. I must think about the safety of you and children. Indeed Mrs. Ni is biased against you, but she is my mother. You should make efforts to improve her impression of you. Just do it for me. Can you?”
“I can. But it takes time. It can’t be done so easily. Just like Mrs Ni, she once wanted to hurt the children by all means. It might be hard for her to change her mind.” Xia Nuan looked at Ye Sichen.
“She won’t hurt them.” Ye Sichen stressed that.
“But in the recording you destroyed, there was indeed a conversation between her and Ge Li about that explosion incident…”
“Nuan, why do you always think of her in that bad way? Maybe there is some misunderstanding between you two, and I hope you can solve it as soon as possible.” Ye Sichen interrupted her.
“I’m sorry.” Xia Nuan was a little angry, but she finally chose to hide her feelings for the sake of Ye Sichen.
“Tomorrow I’ll send you and children back to the island by myself.” Ye Sichen stood up to hold Xia Nuan’s hands, and his tone turned a bit nicer.
Xia Nuan said with a reluctant smile, “Well, I’m going to pack up.”
“Okay.” Ye Sichen hugged her and kissed on her forehead.
Xia Nuan pushed away him gently, and turned to her bedroom.
“Mom, mom, sister and brother found a secret upstairs!” Ansheng rushed into the arms of Xia Nuan when she was about to leave the room.
Ansheng’s voice was so loud that Ye Sichen could also hear it.
Xia Nuan was a little surprised, looking at him, “What secret?”
“I don’t know.” Ansheng said in a childish way, his finger pointing toward upstairs, “Just on the third floor.”
Xia Nuan was curious, too. She took Ansheng to the third floor.
Wuyou and Nianci stood in front of the window of the bedroom, and were looking at something written on the window.
“Wuyou, Nianci, what did you find?” This villa was bought by Ye Sichen just a very short time ago, but Xia Nuan loved it so much at her first glance of it, not because it was luxurious, but it showed Xia Nuan a sense of warmth connected with family. That was the same reason that she was reluctant to return to the island.
“Mom, why are there your name and your photos on it?”
Xia Nuan looked towards the direction pointed by Nianci, seeing an old yellow photo on the transparent glass. Below the photo, there were two names written in chalk. One was “Jinhan”, and the other was “Nuan”. Between the two names was a red heart drawn by someone deliberately. Due to the erosion of the passing years, the face of the man who was holding Xia Nuan’s hand in the photo was blurry, but Xia Nuan’s face was clearly visible. She was young at that time. Her sweet smile was filled with innocence and purity.
Xia Nuan could not breathe for a little moment when she saw this photo. She put her hand on her chest unconsciously, looking at the man in the photo. He was tall and strong. Xia Nuan was just standing beside him, as delicate as a little bird.
She searched this memory in her brain with all her strength. However, she could not remember this man at all. She did not know why her photo was here.
It was the first time that she had come to Country A. She had never been here before.
“Mom, who is that uncle? Is he your brother?” Wuyou asked Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan shook her head. She could not remember it at all. But when she stared at the man, her tears could not help rolling down, without a reason.
“Mom, why are you crying? Do you know this uncle?” Nianci asked in a weak voice.
Wuyou turned and saw Ye Sichen. He wanted to take the photo down in fear of Ye Sichen’s misunderstanding of Xia Nuan. But it was too late. Ye Sichen had already come in.
He was calm, and nothing could be found from his face. He stepped forward to embrace Xia Nuan, his cold eyes falling on the old yellow photo.
“I think he is your uncle.” Ye Sichen smiled.
Wuyou and Nianci nodded, as if they knew it.
Ansheng asked curiously, “Then where is uncle now?”
“You should ask your mother.” Ye Sichen paused, “Maybe your uncle has gone to a distant place, or maybe he is busy working in a place.”
Xia Nuan did not hear what Ye Sichen said. She kept looking at the photo, trying to find some traces in her brain about this man.
“Let’s get out. Your mom needs some rest.” Ye Sichen did not interrupt Xia Nuan, and he took the children out.
After an indefinite period of time, Xia Nuan walked over to take the photo down. When she turned around, she saw Ye Sichen standing outside the door.
Xia Nuan was stunned a little and stopped.
“Have you ever been here before?” Ye Sichen asked Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan shook her head, “No. I don’t know why my photo appears here.”
Ye Sichen looked at her deeply and walked toward her to take the photo in her hand. He smiled gently, “Well, then forget it. Maybe she is just a girl who looks like you so much, and has the same name as you.”
Xia Nuan nodded, “You’re right. Is she my twin sister?”
A flash of coldness crossed his eyes, “Maybe.”
Xia Nuan took over the photo again, “I think I need to ask my mother.”
“And then?” Ye Sichen asked, “What does it mean to you?”
“I…” Xia Nuan could not say a word.
Ye Sichen took the photo away violently, and then tore it into pieces without a thought, “Now that you don’t know him, you just leave it aside. Mind your own life. OK?”
Xia Nuan’s eyes were filled with sadness when she saw the photo was torn.
“Let’s go downstairs and eat something.”
With a heavy heart, Xia Nuan followed Ye Sichen and went downstairs.
At table, Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen kept silent. The children were smart to realize that something bad had happened between their parents, so they kept saying something to break the awkward silence.
“Dad, are you free this afternoon?”
Nianci asked.
Ye Sichen answered in low spirits, “What’s the matter?”
“I want you to play with us and Mom. I like skiing. Can we go skiing?” Nianci begged.
Xia Nuan also wanted to ease the tension. Before Ye Sichen said something, she smiled and answered, “Wonderful. We go skiing together. It must be interesting.”
“Mom, I’ll in.”
Ansheng put his hand up with delight.
“Of course. We all go.” Xia Nuan fondled Ansheng’s head, and looked at Ye Sichen and smiled.
Xia Nuan helped children put on more clothes before skiing. And then, she took out Ye Sichen’s coat carefully, and put it on for him personally.
Ye Sichen fell his eyes on Xia Nuan, feeling heavy as a rock was put on his heart. Suddenly, he holds one of the tender hands which were buttoning up his coat, and put it on his chest, “You know that man?”
Xia Nuan raised her head, looked at him, and shook her head slowly, “I…”
She wanted to say “No”, but she couldn’t. And she felt softhearted when she saw a flash of expectancy in Ye Sichen’s eyes. She determined to tell a lie, “I don’t know him.”
Ye Sichen’s eyes turned bright when he saw the honesty in her eyes, “Nuan, I trust you.”
“Ye, I only have you in my heart. I don’t know why my photo was found here. I really don’t know. I have no memory about it.”
“Just forget it.” Ye Sichen raised her chin and kissed her on her lips, “You can only think of me.”
“Emm…” Xia Nuan buried herself in his breath, and could not help embracing his neck tightly and kissed back fiercely.
His domineering breath spread little by little, and finally surrounded Xia Nuan. Xia Nuan was obsessed by it. Every time he kissed her, she was happy to the point of death.
“Well, Ye…” Xia Nuan panted, and finally avoided him successfully, “The children are waiting outside, and I think we should go out.”
Ye Sichen adjusted his breath to calm down and his warm palm was pulled away from her waist. He held her hand and went out of the bedroom.
The three children were scrambling to peep through the door. When seeing their parents going out, they stood there cleverly and lowered their heads in guilty conscience.
Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan knew that their children would never tell lies. If they did something wrong, they would behave unnaturally.
They must have had a peep at their kissing each other. Thinking of that, Xia Nuan blushed and nipped at Ye Sichen’s hand violently, “Your fault!”
She murmured in a low voice, “We should be careful next time.”
Ye Sichen smiled but said nothing. He held her hand tighter.
They took the three children downstairs when a piece of news was broadcast on the LCD TV screen in the living room.
“At present, the famous musician Mr. Lacy and his fiancée was kidnapped by outlaws, and they released a video to ask for a ransom…”
Hearing this news, Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen stopped simultaneously, keeping their eyes fixed at the screen.
On the video, Mi Ke’er’s hands and feet were tied, and she was scarred over her body. Beside her were two masked men, each one holding a whip, trying to whip her.
Seeing this scene, Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen were anxious and nervous.
“Mi Ke’er was kidnapped!” Xia Nuan fell on the sofa with a worried expression, “Isn’t it said that she returned to Feicheng City safely?”
Ye Sichen pondered over it and guessed, “I think she was kidnapped when she was in Feicheng City.”
“Ye, she’s pregnant. And Lacy was also kidnapped. We should find a way to rescue them.” Xia Nuan held Ye Sichen’s hand.
