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

He Xiyan lay in the hospital for three days and it wasn’t until the fourth day of the lunar new year that she got off the bed for a bit of light exercise.

She finally stopped bleeding and her complexion had also improved. After the doctor’s review in another three days, she would be able to go home and take care of her fetus. She hoped that by that time, the doctors would be able to detect the embryo and the fetal heartbeat, which would be slightly more reassuring to her.

Ye Hao brought out the tofu carp fish soup from the kitchen that he just cooked from the kitchen.

The soup was milky-white and the ingredients were fresh, so it gave off a faint fresh scent.

He had tortured himself for one entire afternoon since he didn’t know how to cook this soup and searched up everything online before he made it on the spot.

There was one bowl of soup, one plate of stir-fried snow beans and one plate of onion stir-fried meat.

These were all his wife’s favorite food. He was now eating the same food she ate, which were all nourishing for expectant mothers and each time before he whipped up a dish, he would first search online to check if that particular dish was suitable for expectant mothers.

He Xiyan scooped the carp fish soup into a small bowl and drank several mouthfuls.

“How is it?” Ye Hao turned to look at her after she finished.

She shot him a smile.

“It tastes alright. You didn’t put as much ginger as you should have and the tofu is slightly overcooked.” The soup didn’t taste as good as the one she made but the resulting taste was still passable.

“That means that it isn’t good,” Ye Hao said with a frown. He was suddenly extremely dissatisfied with his own cooking abilities. He knew how to cook Sichuan dishes because his family had hired a chef from Sichuan when he was younger. It could be said that he grew up eating Sichuan food. He didn’t like eating nor knew how to cook these kinds of Cantonese cuisine. This was the type of food that he would not order even at restaurants.

Every time he saw fish, he would think of cooking hot and spicy fish fillets and when he saw tofu, he would think of mapo tofu. However, all these dishes required a lot of spices that were both numb and spicy and they were not suitable for her.

“Even if it doesn’t taste good, you still got to finish it,” Ye Hao said imperatively and pushed the entire bowl of carp fish soup toward He Xiyan. He did not plan to eat this dish but since this was recommended by the doctor, this was probably something that would be very nourishing to an expectant mother. Therefore, even if it didn’t taste good, she had to finish it.

He Xiyan suddenly felt like laughing when she saw how he issued his order as though he was her parent. However, she could feel his concern for her and that was enough.

He was the only person in the world who would treat her this well.

The couple filled their tummies with food, then watched a comedy film.

He Xiyan was the only one laughing while Ye Hao largely remained expressionless. There were very few parts of the show that could make him laugh and it was only this silly woman who would be so amused by this kind of film.

They stayed another three days in the hospital and on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, He Xiyan went to the ultrasound room again.

Her jaw was clenched tightly and she kept staring at the doctor nervously.

The doctor smiled reassuringly at her when she caught her anxious expression.

“It’s much better now, I can see the embryo and the fetal heartbeat. There’s no need for you to worry so much now.”

“Ah,” said He Xiyan.

Then she immediately smiled and released her fingers that had been clenched tightly. She felt extremely relieved.

Her child was safe. Her child was finally safe.

The doctor prescribed some medication to protect the fetus and gave her a few more words of advice. She said that He Xiyan couldn’t lift heavy items, nor carry children, nor exercise and must abstain from sexual activity, and should refrain from getting too agitated, and so on.

She would have to be extremely careful throughout this pregnancy and would not be able to do anything.

They finally returned to the castle in the evening and the maids, security and even the chef were present.

The wet nurse brought Yuan Yuan over.

Yuan Yuan seemed to recognize his mother and immediately started babbling childish gibberish as he reached out to her.

“Oh yes, He Xiyan, a man came by looking for you two days ago.”
