Chapter 428: More and More Uneasy

He Xiyan walked out of a post-natal rehabilitation center and after three months of post-natal training, she had finally slimmed down and now weighed about 50 KG.

She looked much better after she slimmed down and her fair and small face had finally regained its original shape which made her look beautiful and delicate.

It was already December and winters at Ye City were already been cold and wet. The temperature that day had fallen to 1 degree and cold winds howled, so it was extremely cold outside.

Qin Xiaoyu gave He Xiyan a down jacket that reached her ankles and took out a big umbrella.

The skies were overcast and cloudy and there was also a light drizzle which made it cold and gloomy.

He Xiyan huddled under the umbrella and wrapped her wraps tightly around herself. She felt as though this was the only way she could feel some warmth. She didn’t know when this terrible weather was going to pa.s.s and it has been this rainy for five or six consecutive days. Moreover, it has consistently been this windy and drizzly.

“Sister He, let’s hurry. Our driver is waiting for us ahead,” Qin Xiaoyu pointed at the black Humvee that was parked ahead.

They practically ran to the car and the moment He Xiyan got into the car, she kept panting as she rubbed at her hands. Fortunately, there was a heater in the car, so she soon felt warmer.

The rain became heavier as the car drove back to the castle and the drizzle turned into a downpour. It even started hailing and as the ice clattered against the car window, making her feel even worse.

He Xiyan looked out at the sidewalks from the car window but everything was foggy. She felt as terrible as the weather outside.

The courts would make their verdict in another few days and although her lawyer had already told her that the chances of the Mo family obtaining Yuan Yuan’s custody were slim and the mayor had also promised that he would help and even said that he had already instructed his subordinates to not give the Mo family any right to take her child away, she still felt very uneasy.

This feeling only grew stronger as the court session loomed closer. She was having trouble eating and sleeping as well.

She thought that this was also partly why she had lost weight.

“Is Ye Hao home?” He Xiyan asked Qin Xiaoyu. It was the weekend but Ye Hao was dragged away by his father to attend several client meetings and it was already dusk.

Qin Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “He called to say that he had to dine with the clients and would not be home for dinner. He also told you not to wait up for him.”

He Xiyan unlocked her phone and saw that Ye Hao had indeed sent her several messages two hours ago to inform her that he would be home late. She had been at the rehabilitation center then and her phone was on silent mode, so she did not hear her messages coming in.

After they returned to the castle, He Xiyan ate dinner alone and went to take a shower. When she emerged from her shower, she realized that her husband was still not home.

She tidied up the room and went to brew herself a cup of green tea. Then, she sat on the sofa and played with her phone while she sipped her tea and occasionally sent her husband a few text messages, asking what was the situation over there and when he would be home.

After a while, she rose to her feet. For some reason, she had been feeling very troubled the entire day and she also felt a little uneasy. She had been feeling this way over the past few days but the feeling had intensified today. She took out her phone and dialled Lawyer Chen’s number.

This was her third call to him today.

He picked up very quickly.
