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

Yang Kexin said in a small voice. She was not a cowardly woman but as she stood in front of the man she liked, she was extremely afraid.

Ye Hao blinked and a complicated expression flashed past his eyes but soon, his eyes returned to their usual coldness.

“Is that so?” He stood up and looked at her furiously blushing face.

Yang Kexin’s heart raced and her hands shook as though she had been electrocuted.

Was… was… he going to kiss her?

Unfortunately, she thought too much into his actions.

Ye Hao scoffed and said, “Since you liked me then, why didn’t you say so earlier? It’s too late to confess your love now!”

Yang Kexin was speechless.

“Cousin…”

“Please leave!” Ye Hao pointed toward the door with a frown. It was clear that he had lost patience and interest in what she had to say.

He knew exactly what this woman and his aunt were plotting.

They were just a bunch of fickle minded people who would sway toward whoever held power.

Yang Kexin clutched at the corners of her clothes and her lips were pursed tightly. She looked very miserable.

“Leave! I’m already a married man, didn’t you know that?” Ye Hao said with displeasure with no sign of taking pity on that woman. He already started to chase her out.

He Xiyan changed her clothes and shoes. She wore a black sweater with a white coat and ankle boots without any heels that made walking very comfortable. It was now March and it was early spring, so the weather was slowly turning warmer. Many flowers had also bloomed in the backyard.

The blooming flowers showed that it was going to be spring.

When she walked out of the castle, the security guards looked at her curiously.

“Madam, are you heading out alone?” Security Guard Li looked at He Xiyan in surprise. She would normally be driven around by the chauffeur!

He Xiyan smiled at him politely.

“Yes.” Then she got into the taxi that she had booked earlier.

After a 40 minutes drive, the taxi stopped in front of a cafe along the Nahm River.

This cafe was a little out of the way but it was very well decorated in the style of the ancient palace. Each private dining room had its own special design.

It wasn’t her first time visiting this place but things were completely different now. Although she was still dining at the same place with the same person, they were no longer bound by that intimate relationship. She even felt inexplicably guilty when she arrived.

After she got out the taxi, she looked up at the doors of the cafe and sighed helplessly a few seconds later. She walked inside, her footsteps slightly heavy, not realizing that a car had parked several meters away and the man in the car was smoking while he watched her enter the cafe.

The waiter led He Xiyan to the private room she reserved earlier. This was the most expensive private dining room in this cafe and was decorated in the style of the ancient Greek mythologies. The paintings on the walls were very life but it clearly depicted a couple who was very much in love. He Xiyan felt extremely awkward when she saw that.

“Don’t you have any other rooms?” She asked. She had casually asked for the best room they had, not expecting the room to be so out of place when compared to their current status. In particular, the drawing on the wall was clearly of a couple blissfully in love. It was too awkward.

“Ah”, the waiter said and didn’t really know what to do. If they changed the private room, the other unreserved private rooms were nowhere near this room.

“We’ll take this room.”

A masculine voice rang out behind her.

He Xiyan froze, then turned instinctively.
