<h4>Chapter 724: He Hated Himself</h4>


    This had led to the end of their short-lived marriage.


    Their marriage had onlysted a year from the time they received their marriage license to the time when they filed for divorce.


    He had not done much for her during the year that they were married and she did not take any of the jewelry that he had given her with her when she left. These jewelry were still in the closet in front of the bed. Neither had she asked for any property nor alimony when they were divorced but yet, he refused to even give her custody of her daughter.


    She had practically been kicked out of the Ye family.


    She had been with him for such a long time and they even had a daughter together, but she didn’t get anything out of their marriage.


    She had only taken a small box with her when she left.


    Ye Hao’s hands suddenly balled into fists and the veins on his arms popped out. He raised his fist and mmed his fist against the floor.


    He was filled with such bitter hatred that he felt that his organs were about to shatter.


    He hated himself for failing to sustain his marriage and hated himself for failing to protect her despite knowing that she was emotionally weak, and even kept forcing her to make a choice time and time again.


    She had died because he kept forcing her to make a choice, and he was responsible for her death.


    His actions startled Xi Xi and she turned to look at him. When she noticed that he was crying, she crawled off the sofa and walked unsteadily toward him.


    She was only one year old, so she couldn’t form proper sentences but she was obviously upset when she saw how sad he was.


    She bit her lip, as though she had been bullied.


    Ye Hao felt even more remorseful when he saw his daughter.


    Xi Xi was still young, so she wasn’t aware of what had transpired but he didn’t dare to think about how he should exin this to his daughter when she was old enough to ask where her mother was.


    ...


    While there was a man who was so ovee with guilt and sorrow in the castle, there was an ambitious and confident woman outside the castle who was out to achieve her goal.


    Han Xue wore a loose dress but this wasn’t enough to conceal her swollen belly.


    She was already seven months pregnant and was in the final trimester of her pregnancy. She had already gone through more than 20 check-ups and everything was well. She was bearing a healthy child.


    Although she was pregnant, she did not experience any significant weight gain since she became pregnant and still managed to maintain her figure. Her stomach was the only part of her that had grown significantlyrger but she was still very slender and looked very beautiful.


    Han Xue stepped out of the car and she was apanied by her mother Han Qing who had been caring for her during her pregnancy.


    Han Qing supported her daughter and her eyes gleamed brightly as she stared at the luxurious castle in front of her.


    The thought of moving into this castle filled her with joy.


    Han Xue was also very happy because she would be a mother soon enough. Moreover, she was carrying the eldest grandson of the Ye family, so even Ye Snr. and Xia Jingshu had personally paid her several visits.


    They walked up to the gates of the castle.


    “We’re here to see Ye Hao. Please let him know,” Han Qing said to the security guard confidently as though she had the right to visit the owner of this castle.


    Chen Yang, the security guard, had only been employed this year. He looked at this middle-aged woman, then at the pregnantdy. He remembered seeing this pregnantdy since she hade over the castle once before, but her belly hadn’t been sorge at that point in time.


    He remembered her because this pregnantdy imed that she was pregnant with Mr. Ye’s child.


    However, Mr. Ye didn’t let this woman into the castle the previous time so he didn’t understand what she was doing here again this time.
