Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 441 - Chapter 441 Chapter 439 Showdown

Chapter 441: Chapter 439: Showdown Chapter 441: Chapter 439: Showdown When Mother Yan saw Xia Yiwan carrying a suitcase downstairs, she asked in surprise, “Wanwan, where are you going with that suitcase?”

Moreover, unlike the small suitcase she usually took on business trips, the one Xia Yiwan had this time was very large, as if she were leaving the Yan Family forever.

Seeing the concern and worry in Mother Yan’s eyes, Xia Yiwan felt a sting at her nose.

The entire Yan Family had been good to her, everyone except Yanxi.

Mother Yan, Mr. Yan, and Old Lady Yan had all cherished her as if she were their own.

She knew that Old Lady Yan didn’t have much time left and that she shouldn’t leave the Yan Family.

But her heart really was in agony.

If she didn’t leave, she might suffocate!

“Mom, I need to go on a business trip and won’t be back for a while.”

Mother Yan took Xia Yiwan’s hand, “You’re pregnant now, you can’t overexert yourself.”

“I know, I’ll take good care of myself and the child.” Xia Yiwan hugged Mother Yan, “Mom, you don’t need to worry.”

Mother Yan did not usually interfere with her children’s work. She also knew that modern women were independent and making them full-time housewives was unlikely.

Mother Yan patted Xia Yiwan’s back, “Take care of yourself while you’re out, and if you need any help, call me or Yanxi.”

“Okay.”

After leaving the Yan Family, Xia Yiwan drove to the airport.

She missed home terribly, missed Father Xia and Mother Xia, so she bought the quickest ticket back to Li City.

Three hours later, she arrived at the Xia family home.

She arrived just in time for dinner with Father Xia and Mother Xia.

Seeing Xia Yiwan suddenly appear, Father Xia and Mother Xia were extremely surprised, “Wanwan? Why did you suddenly come back?”

Father Xia and Mother Xia pulled Xia Yiwan into the dining room, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Mom will go and stir-fry a couple more dishes.”

Xia Yiwan threw herself into Father Xia and Mother Xia’s embrace, holding them tightly.

Although she had grown up in the countryside and later Father Xia had made a fortune, her social status had always been looked down upon by the Upper Society, but what she never lacked was the love and concern of her parents.

Back by their side, she felt like she was still the little girl who hadn’t grown up.

Her lonely and distressed soul also received solace.

“Wanwan, did Yanxi make you feel wronged?” Father Xia patted Xia Yiwan’s back, “If he has hurt you, Dad will go and settle the score with him right now!”

He didn’t care whether it was the Yan Family’s Young Master; as long as someone bullied or hurt his daughter, he would not let it slide easily!

Xia Yiwan lifted her almond eyes and smiled at Father Xia and Mother Xia with curved brows and eyes, “No, I just missed Dad and Mom!”

Mother Xia shook her head helplessly, “You child, you are going to be a mother yourself, and you still act like a child.”

Father Xia stroked Xia Yiwan’s head and chided Mother Xia with a glance, “What kind of way is that to speak, Mom? Wanwan, no matter how old she gets, will always be our precious little padded jacket!”

Mother Xia smiled and brushed the hair from Xia Yiwan’s cheek, “Yes, yes, I was wrong.”

Looking at her loving and sweet parents, Xia Yiwan felt both envy and warmth in her heart.

Father Xia and Mother Xia had always been her role models. No matter how poor or wealthy they had been, they only had eyes for each other.

After Father Xia struck it rich, it wasn’t that no little vixens tried to seduce him, but he never gave another woman a second glance.

After encountering two jerks, Xia Yiwan thought that she would probably never meet a good man like Father Xia in her lifetime!

…

After Yanxi returned to the Yan Family home and didn’t see Xia Yiwan, he called her, but couldn’t get through.

Yanxi asked Mother Yan and learned that Xia Yiwan had gone on a business trip.

This morning he had accompanied her to a prenatal checkup, and she hadn’t mentioned having to go on a business trip. How had it suddenly come up?

Moreover, she was still in the first three months of pregnancy, when she needed to rest well.

Yanxi couldn’t get through to Xia Yiwan on the phone, so he used Mother Yan’s phone to call her.

After ringing for quite some time with no answer, just as Yanxi thought no one would pick up, the call connected.

It was Mother Xia who answered.

“Hello? Is this my in-laws?”

Upon hearing Mother Xia’s voice, Yanxi was taken aback for a moment.

“Mom? Has Wanwan returned?”

Wasn’t she on a business trip?

Mother Xia, hearing Yanxi’s voice, quickly responded, “Wanwan is taking a bath, didn’t you know she came back?”

“I accompanied her to prenatal checkup this morning, then had to go deal with some business at the company.”

Mother Xia fell silent for a few seconds before asking hesitantly, “Yanxi, did you have a falling out with Wanwan?”

“No.”

“That’s good to hear. Wanwan said she missed home and wanted to come back to see me and her dad.”

After speaking a few more words with Mother Xia, Yanxi hung up the phone.

When he returned to the bedroom, he went into the dressing room.

He found that all of the clothes Xia Yiwan had bought for herself were gone.

Not only that, but her personal belongings had also vanished.

Yanxi’s heart suddenly began to feel a little panicked.

Could she have discovered something?

Without time to think further, Yanxi quickly asked his assistant to book a flight to Li City.

Yanxi arrived in Li City around eleven at night.

After finishing a movie, Xia Yiwan was getting ready for bed when suddenly someone pushed the door to her room open.

Seeing the handsome man who had come a long way, Xia Yiwan was a bit surprised, almost thinking she had seen wrong due to her blurry vision.

She closed her eyes and then opened them again, only to find the man had already strode to the side of her bed.

He looked down at her with a hint of anger in his peach blossom eyes, “Xia Yiwan, what’s the meaning of this?”

Xia Yiwan looked at the familiar yet estranged man before her, the emotions she had managed to settle were on the verge of collapsing again.

The questioning and anger in his eyes as if she had been willful and wronged him!

After she had married him, initially she had no demands of him, only hoped for a harmonious coexistence, planning to divorce after one year.

It was he who flirted with her first, making her mistakenly believe that he had taken her to heart.

With beautiful hopes, she wanted to grow old with him.

And what did she receive?

Deceit and hurt!

And now he had the audacity to question her?

Xia Yiwan found it utterly ridiculous!

Xia Yiwan struggled to suppress her emotions, but facing the questioning gaze of this man, that sour and uncomfortable feeling still surged from her nose.

She bit her lower lip hard, her voice hoarse as she said, “What day is it today?”

Upon her asking, Yanxi’s slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, “The day I accompanied you for the prenatal checkup.”

Xia Yiwan’s emotions instantly crumbled.

She picked up a pillow from behind her and threw it at the man, tears welling up in her eyes. She closed them hard, her hands at her sides clenched into tight fists, knuckles turning white, “Are you going to continue lying to me? Yanxi, in your heart, am I, Xia Yiwan, just a fool? Today, weren’t you with your Sister Shi Ying?”

Xia Yiwan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “So the ‘client’ you were always talking about has always been your Sister Shi Ying, huh!”

The tears in her eyes kept swirling, blurring her vision until she could no longer see clearly. What was his expression at this moment?
