Chapter 1085: Please Give Me Some Time, Yan Yan

She could not accept this gift, so she planned to send it back to Ye Hao via mail tomorrow.

When night fell, she leaned against her bed frame and played with the phone in her hand.

She frowned as she racked her brains to come up with the right words to say so that both her ex-husbands would leave her alone.

She couldn’t stop them from visiting the children and she was forced to have occasional contact with them but she realized that they would often use visiting the children as an excuse to constantly interfere in her life.

This was especially so for Ye Hao who treated the castle as his own property. He would often show up without even letting her know in advance.

She didn’t want to get involved with either of her ex-husbands again. She neither loved or hated them and all she wanted was for them to lead their own separate lives. She wanted to live peacefully and she hoped that they’d be able to find someone else who’d be a better match.

He Xiyan was deep in thought for almost two hours and at around 10 PM, she clicked on Ye Hao’s display picture, hesitated for a moment before she sent him a text.

“Are you busy? Let’s talk.”

Then, she took a deep breath but she didn’t realize how excited Ye Hao was after he received her text message.

A wide smile broke across Ye Hao’s face that had been taut with tension moments earlier. He felt his heart feel with joy as though he had just eaten sweet honey.

This was the first time that Yan Yan had taken the initiative to contact him in more than three years. He had been looking at the closed-circuit camera, so he knew how long she had hesitated before she finally sent the text.

“What would you like to say? I’m available now.”

Ye Hao thought for a moment before he sent his reply. He definitely had time because he had been staring at her movements through the closed-circuit camera for the longest time.

He Xiyan sent him a text, “I’ll send the item you gave me back to your office tomorrow.”

Ye Hao froze in surprise and his brows that had just relaxed immediately slammed back together in a frown.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you like it?” he asked via text.

He could always get her something else if she didn’t like the design. He would buy anything she liked for her.

He Xiyan replied, “I’m trying to say, please don’t give me any more presents in the future. Things are impossible between us now. Please also avoid showing up at the castle without any prior discussion with me. Your actions are severely disrupting the my children and my lifestyle.”

Ye Hao was speechless.

His heart immediately sank. If his spirits lifted significantly earlier, they had now dipped as significantly. He had thought that she wanted to thank him for his gift of flowers and a present, so he was surprised to find that her stance toward him had not changed at all. She was still keeping him at arm’s length.

“Yan Yan, I truly meant it when I said I wanted to be with you again. Please trust me when I say that we’ll start anew,” he replied.

Ye Hao was constantly thinking of how he could make his ex-wife fall in love with him again. Then, they would live happily ever after. He vowed not to disappoint her this time and also swore not to make the same mistakes as he did in the past.

He Xiyan replied, “Ye Hao, things are impossible between us. You should find a better match elsewhere. Please stop harassing me.”

A better match?

Ye Hao smiled wryly. He wasn’t in the mood to look for a better match elsewhere. Furthermore, she was the only woman who was a good match for him.

“Please give me time, Yan Yan,” he replied as he pursed his lips. He knew that there were many misunderstandings between them and he also knew that she was very disappointed in him. He planned to use his actions to win her trust. This time, he would not do anything that could harm her.

“Sigh…”

He Xiyan sighed several times. It seemed impossible to get through to Ye Hao. His behavior was ridiculous, as though he had rocks for brains. She had an urge to call him a lunatic.
