The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

“You have no right to mention her!”

Mo Yixuan grabbed that woman’s shoulder and pushed her forward. His face was flushed red and his eyes flashed with unbridled rage.

He hated this woman and all of a sudden, he found that he hated himself. He Xiyan had been with the Mo family for three years and yet, he had never given her a single cent. He had not even bought her a present on her birthday but the clothes and the watch he wore were all bought by her. The only things that he had given her were the ring and necklace he gifted her when they were married, but she had returned them via mail.

Mo Yixuan smashed his fist against the wall in frustration at the thought of that. He would have smashed a hole through the wall if he could.

Xia Yuwei had nothing to say in return and could only wail louder as though she had suffered a great injustice.

“Mum…” She sobbed out as she pulled Li Qin over. “He hit me. He actually dared to hit me.” She touched her swollen face.

She had never been treated this way her entire life and even her parents had never hit her, but now, she had been hit by a man.

Li Qin sighed. She couldn’t understand how their relationship had become so strained.

“Alright, that’s enough. Stop fighting.” She dragged Xia Yuwei out, afraid that if this went on any longer, her son might hit that woman in a fit of anger once more.

At the same evening, He Xiyan emerged from the kitchen. She had been cooking for a few hours and finally whipped up a huge spread. All these dishes were for him.

He had been whining every day before he was discharged that he wanted to eat prawns. Now, he could eat his fill of prawns.

In addition to steamed prawn, there were also braised king prawns, steamed prawns with garlic vermicelli and stir-fried shrimp. There was also a plate of stir-fried meat with pickled vegetables and two plates of vegetables.

Ye Hao’s eyes gleamed brightly when he saw the table full of food.

He had to stay off all these food because of the operation and now he was ravenous.

He flung the crutches in his hands aside, sat at the table and immediately started eating. He Xiyan couldn’t hold back a smile when she saw how he was gorging himself on her cooking.

She helped him peel the prawns while she watched him eat, a small smile dancing across her lips.

Ye Hao’s brows raised and a flash of happiness appeared in his amber eyes. He picked up a prawn, plucked out its head but kept its tail. Then, he dipped it into the seafood sauce and brought it to her mouth.

“Be good and eat this.” He said dotingly as though he was coaxing a child.

He Xiyan pursed her lips, feeling slightly embarrassed. It was a while before she finally opened her mouth and ate the prawn that he fed her.

In fact, this man was the only other person who had fed her, with the exception of her father.

When Ye Hao saw that she accepted his food, he peeled a few more prawns and fed them all to her.

After he fed her the last prawn, he was surprised to see tears glinting in her eyes. Was she crying?

“Enough, let’s eat.” Ye Hao didn’t understand why she could cry while eating but he didn’t probe further.

The two of them quickly ate the spread on the table. Although the prawns were delicious, they were not filling, so between the two of them, they managed to finish around 70% of the food on the table.

This was the Ye Castle located by the river at the western part of Ye City. It was one of the few castles of Ye City and was extremely expensive. This castle was personally designed by Ye Sr. 30 years ago for his ex-wife and son but it had remained empty and without its owner for the past 30 years. Nonetheless, someone was in charge of cleaning the place every month and all the furniture had been changed three months ago, so it looked very clean and tidy.

The castle was a Gothic-style building and its decor exuded the luxurious and mysterious feel of medieval Italy.
