    The teacher knew that Ye Zixi had a stepmother but she had never met her, so she had to verify this woman’s identity before she could release Xi Xi.


    “Xi Xi...” the teacher turned to Xi Xi who was still staring at the floor.


    Xi Xi heard someone calling her and was pulled out of her reverie. She looked at her teacher and soon spotted her mother standing beside her teacher.


    “Mom...” Xi Xi waved happily at her mom and ran over with Du Du.


    “Xi Xi, is she really your mother?” the teacher asked in confusion.


    She had never met Ye Zixi’s mother and found it odd that she was picking up her child when she hadn’t done so before.


    Xi Xi nodded and pointed at happily at her mom before she said, “Ms. Wang, this is my mother. My mother hase back.”


    Xi Xi smiled sweetly and she had the words ‘my mother hase back’ particrly loudly, as though she wanted to let everyone know the good news.


    Her teacher asked He Xiyan to sign on a document and leave her phone number before. It was the school’s policy for all parents picking up their children for the first time to be registered with the school.


    He Xiyan picked up Xi Xi’s hand.


    They walked happily out of school and Xi Xi couldn’t stop smiling the entire time, revealing her tiny dimples on her cheeks. He Xiyan also smiled happily and their happiness clearly radiated out of them.


    “Mom, where are you staying?” Xi Xi asked.


    “I’m currently staying at Zixin Gardens,” she replied.


    “Oh, can I move in to stay with you? I don’t want to stay at the castle,” she said with undisguised loathing. She particrly hated Aunty Han who lived in the caste.


    He Xiyan carried her daughter to her new car and helped her put on her seatbelt.


    She stroked Xi Xi’s face and nodded. “Of course you may stay with me. You’re wee to stay with me in the future as well.”


    She had already made up her mind to continue staying at Ye City because this was where her children were.


    It was a forty-minute drive back to her residential area.


    He Xiyan carried Xi Xi back to the house that she had purchased several days ago.


    It was not a luxurious mansion but it was clean, tidy, and weing. She had also bought several toys that she ced in the guest bedroom.


    Xi Xi examined her mother’s house and she guessed that there were probably only several small rooms in this house. This house was only as big as the living room in the castle.


    However, this would be sufficient for the two of them.


    Xi Xi did not mind living in this house. In any case, any ce was better than living in the castle.


    He Xiyan whipped up a delicious meal of stir-fried cashew nuts, minced meat in steam egg, and winter melon pork ribs soup.


    Qin Xiaoyu said that Xi Xi would usually eat at 6 PM, so she had already prepared the food beforehand. These were all dishes suitable for children.


    “Xi Xi...time to eat,” He Xiyan said as she brought out the dishes. Then, she helped Xi Xi scoop a bowl of rice.


    Xi Xi was extremely hungry, so she started scarfing down the food after her mother handed her the bowl of rice. These were all the dishes that she liked and she especially loved prawns.


    “Mom, the food is so good,” Xi Xi praised her mom’s cooking as she ate. Although the food prepared by the chefs in the castle was pretty delicious as well, she preferred eating the food that her mother cooked.


    He Xiyan was pleased when she saw how well her child was eating. She kept adding more food into Xi Xi’s bowl but did not even touch her own te.


    She watched her daughter eat but as she watched, she noticed that there was something strange about her daughter’s face.


    The left side of her face seems swollen.
