Apple ID mail address is different

I have signed up from my IPhone to Aliexpress by using my apple ID. However, it turned out that I already have an Aliexpress account, so I want to delete this new one to avoid future confusions. Aliexpress sent an email to my Apple email address ( which is the one that I use for my Apple ID login: ****@yahoo.com.) with a code, so I could confirm my intention to delete my account. However, it showed that the address was not on yahoo but on @privaterelay.appleid.com- I have no idea how to get emails from this address, nor where it is located. Please, help me out!
