YM778.TV Chapter 9 - 9: So, He Was Already Married
Editor: Exodus Tales
The atmosphere was rather awkward.
As every second passed by, the mood around them declined rapidly.
Ye Jiaqi felt slightly upset and wondered if she said the wrong thing again.
She held her hands behind her and didn’t dare to look at Qiao Sinian’s face. His expression looked as though she owed him a lot of money!
“Master Qiao…”
She was about to say “Master Qiao, if nothing is wrong, then I’ll take my leave first.” However, at that moment, Qiao Sinian’s phone rang.
The vibration that broke the silence of the empty room was rather abrupt.
Qiao Sinian glanced down at the phone screen before he turned around to pick up the phone.
“Hello?”
“Daddy!”
A crisp and cheerful child’s voice came from the phone.
Qiao Sinian strode towards the dressing room, his face was no longer gloomy like moments before.
Ye Jiaqi remained where she stood moments ago.
It was way too quiet here. Quiet to the point that she heard the child on the phone call Qiao Sinian “Daddy.”
She definitely did not hear wrong.
So, he was already married?
She had heard long ago that Qiao Sinian and Fang Ya’s relationship was rather good. Fang Ya was the recognized lady of the Qiao residence.
She had lived in the Qiao residence for around ten years and although she never met Fang Ya, Qiao Sinian had often gone to England so she had known.
At that moment, Ye Jiaqi’s heart felt empty.
He had everything. Prestigious upbringing, a wife, a child, a booming business and a happy marriage.
And she… she had nothing.
No wonder he wanted someone to get rid of his child three years ago. It turned out that he had already married Fang Ya and planned to have children. In fact, he was probably afraid that an illegitimate child would be hard to explain.
Her legs felt heavy like lead.
The blood in her body flowed rapidly and her breathing almost stagnated.
It is so, so cold.
Ye Jiaqi’s entire body was ice cold.
Qiao Sinian had already entered the resting lounge, so he would no longer care about her.
After a long time, Ye Jiaqi finally calmed down and recollected herself. Her legs trembled as she bent down to pick up her backpack.
She took advantage of the fact that Qiao Sinian hadn’t returned yet and bolted.
However, her eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.
In the resting lounge, Qiao Sinian watched Ye Jiaqi’s every move but he didn’t try to stop her.
“Daddy, when are you coming back? I miss you!”
The little boy pouted and from his voice, he didn’t sound very happy.
“Give the phone to housekeeper Sun.”
The light shone on Qiao Sinian’s face. Under the light, his face became much softer. However, the corners of his mouth were still cold and unsmiling.
“Master Qiao.” The respectful voice of housekeeper Sun came from the other side of the phone.
“In a few days, bring Cheng Fan back home.”
“Master Qiao, are you not going back to London?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll bring the young master back in a few days.”
“Daddy, daddy!” the little boy cried out noisy from the other side.
As he heard the voice of his son, the corners of Qiao Sinian’s lips slightly upturned.
“It’s already this late and you’re still not asleep?”
Qiao Sinian’s voice became much softer.
He glanced at his watch. It was half-past ten, so in London, it’d be approximately half-past four in the morning.
The little boy held on the phone and pouted, “I woke up… And I didn’t see daddy. I miss daddy…”
As he spoke his last word, the little boy deliberately prolonged the syllable.
“Be a good boy and go sleep.”
“Okay…”
Qiao Sinian put down his phone and looked out once again. However, he could no longer see the silhouette of Ye Jiaqi.
At this point, Ye Jiaqi had already exited the hotel.
It was nearing the end of summer and the evening breeze was a little cold.
She shook the water from her backpack and headed towards the bus stop outside the hotel.
