Chapter 150 Tricked 1

15 minutes later, they both exited the main hall, carrying a small red booklet in their hands. From this day onward, they were officially man and wife and had become each other's closest relative.

He Xiyan placed her marriage certificate into her bag. It was an item that was extremely light but it felt like it weighed a ton in her hands. This was not the first time she had come to this place. In fact, she came here five years ago. She was only 20 years old then and naively thought that once they collected their marriage certificate, their marriage would last forever.

Who could have expected that things would have turned out this way?

This time, she truly hoped that their marriage would last forever.

"What are you thinking?" Ye Hao's grip tightened on her hand and turned to look at her, a faint smile dancing on his lips.

He Xiyan paused and her lips curved into a small smile. She didn't want him to see her troubled expression.

"Oh right. I forgot to mention that we will be heading to Pear Garden the day after tomorrow and will be spending Lunar New Year's Eve there." Ye Hao said.

He hadn't planned on going this year since he did not care for a single member of the Ye family. However, his mother would be there and he didn't wish his mother to suffer nor anyone in that family to make things difficult for them, so he ultimately decided to go.

He Xiyan turned to look at him and after a moment's hesitation, she pointed to herself and asked, "Do I have to go as well?"

"Yes!" Ye Hao put his arms around her shoulder. "Don't worry, both my mum and dad would be present. You don't have to concern yourself with the rest of the family. All we'll be doing there is to have a meal together and we'll probably go to Pear Garden a maximum of one time a year."

These people might be his relatives, but since he had not grown up in that family, he wasn't emotionally attached to them at all. He only cared about his wife, his mother and his child.

In an apartment in the city center.

It wasn't as lively as before and it was exceptionally quiet in the apartment on this day. There weren't even that many people taking the elevator.

It was the 29th of December on the lunar calendar and it would be Lunar New Year's eve tomorrow and since a large majority of the residents in this apartment only purchased or rented a unit here due to its proximity to their office, they would return to their hometowns every Lunar New Year.

Mo Yixuan would occasionally stay in this apartment since he often had to put in overtime hours at work and it would be past 11 PM by the time he knocked off. He was too exhausted and it would take him another 30 to 40 minutes by car to reach the Mo family mansion, so he would stay in this place whenever he was too busy with work or whenever he ended work late.

It was a small one-bedroom studio of only 40 to 50 square meters. There weren't any other rooms so it was very suitable for a person living alone but it wouldn't be suitable for a family.

Mo Yixuan leaned against the sofa and held a cigarette in his hands out of habit. He had already smoked half the cigarette. Despite it being Lunar New Year Eve the next day, he did not feel like returning home. His mother was not there and neither was his son. As for his wife, he had abandoned her more than a year ago.

Therefore, he planned on spending the Lunar New Year alone in this place. Although he had purchased this place five years ago, He Xiyan had never spent the night here, but Xia Yuwei had.

He could not help but heave a sigh at the thought and quashed the cigarette in his hand against the ashtray and his face turned livid.

Due to the fact that he would occasionally stay in this place, he came to know Xia Yuwei who rented the place opposite him. He hadn't noticed her at first even though he would see her in the elevator or along the corridor once in a while, they didn't speak to each other. Then one night, when he was in the elevator, Xia Yuwei entered carrying two large bags of things and a large tub of oil and asked for assistance when it was time to exit the elevator. He did not reject her then since it would be tough for any woman to carry so many things on her own, so he carried these things to her apartment.

贺夕颜将这一本结婚证收进了自己包包里,很轻的东西,只是握在手里却感觉很重.她已经不是第一次来这个地方了,五年前她也曾来过这里,那时候她才20岁,傻傻的认为了领了结婚证就是一辈子都在一起了.

谁知后来会是那样的结局.

而这一次,她只希望他们真的可以走到最后.

"在想什么?"叶昊用力地握了一下她的手,扭头看着她,嘴角挂着淡淡的一丝笑容.

贺夕颜顿了一下,随即也微微勾起了嘴唇.不想他看到她心事重重的样子.

"对了,忘了告诉你,后天我们要去梨园,在那里过除夕."叶昊说道.

本来他今年不准备去的,叶家的那一大家子人,他根本就不在乎,只是母亲会去,他不想母亲在那边受任何委屈或者有任何人针对他们母子,所以他才是决定去.

贺夕颜扭头看着他,有些犹豫,"我也要去吗?"她指着自己.

"嗯!"叶昊拥着她的肩膀,"放心,我爸妈也都在,至于其他人你不用在意,过去吃顿饭就好了.一年咱们也最多去这么一次."

虽说都是都是血缘上的亲人,但是从小不在叶家长大的他,对这些人没有感情.这一生他只在乎他的妻子,他的母亲,和他的孩子.

位于城中心的一栋公寓

没有了往日的喧嚣,今天公寓里分外安静,就连乘坐电梯的人都很少.

已经腊月二十九,明天就是除夕,公寓里住的大多数都是青年男女,为了上班方便,买在这里或者租住在这里,这一到逢年过节,都回家了.

莫逸轩也偶尔住在这栋公寓,因为他经常加班,很多时候下班都到晚上十一点多了,他太累,回莫家别墅要开三四十分钟的车,所以一旦下班晚或者工作太忙,他都是住在这里.

这公寓都是一室一厅的小户型,面积40-50个平方,没有套房,适合单人居住,不适合一家人居家过日子.

莫逸轩靠在沙发上坐着,手里习惯性地拿着一支烟,烟已经抽了一半.明天就到除夕,可是他却不想回家,他的母亲不在家,儿子也不在家,妻子一年多前就被他抛弃了.

所以这个年,他将一个人在这里度过.虽然他五年前就买了这房子,但是贺夕颜从没在这里住过一个晚上,夏雨薇倒是来过.

想到这里他忍不住发出了一声叹息,手中的烟头也被捻在烟灰缸里,而他整个人的脸色都变得极其难看.

因为偶尔住在这里,他一年多前认识了租住在她对面的夏雨薇,起初他并没有关注过她,虽然偶尔在电梯里或者楼道里遇到过,但是都没有交谈过,后来一个晚上,在乘坐电梯的时候,夏雨薇提了两大袋子东西和一大桶油进来,出了电梯后她主动请他帮忙,而他也没有拒绝,毕竟一个女孩子要扛这么多东西确实力气不够,所以他帮她提了东西送到了她住的房子里.
