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

Yuan Yuan spent the entire afternoon by his mother’s side and followed her wherever he went. He even wanted her by his side when it was time for his nap.

He Xiyan brought Yuan Yuan to a nearby park with a fountain to play and they only returned when it was dusk. The moment they returned, they immediately spotted Ye Hao who was waiting outside the door for them.

Ye Hao’s hands were stuck in his pockets and he stood while leaning against the door. He was looking at his phone and looked like he was typing a response to some important message.

Suddenly, a childish voice rang out.

“Papa…papa!” Yuan Yuan was extremely excited after he spent the entire day playing outside. He immediately called out Ye Hao’s name loudly the moment he spotted him because that was what his mother wanted him to do.

Ye Hao suddenly lifted his head and almost dropped his phone onto the floor. He looked at Yuan Yuan in Qin Xiaoyu’s arms with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.

He walked over and pinched Yuan Yuan’s small cheeks.

“What did you call me earlier, little fella? Why don’t you repeat your words again?”

Yuan Yuan was left speechless.

He quickly bit his lips like a child who was caught making a mistake. His shrunk back as though he was a little frightened and his eyes roved around in continuous circles.

He was still young and wasn’t aware of too many things but he was always a little afraid of the man in front of him.

That man wouldn’t smile and hardly held him.

“You scared him,” He Xiyan popped out from the back and patted Ye Hao’s shoulder. “See, you hardly ever play with him and you’re always looking at him so sternly, so he doesn’t even dare to approach you.”

Ye Hao frowned and he didn’t know how else to react.

He looked at his own wife then at Yuan Yuan who was suddenly much better behaved.

“Did he look stern? Didn’t he always look like this?” He mused to himself.

“Papa…” Yuan Yuan pouted, then repeated his earlier words. However, this time, he spoke very softly, his voice as small as a mosquito.

Ye Hao beamed brightly. He was elated since this was the first time anyone had called him ‘papa’.

“Come Yuan Yuan, let me hold you.”

Then, he reached out to take Yuan Yuan from Qin Xiaoyu’s arms.

Yuan Yuan put his hands around Ye Hao’s neck and his eyes that were like black jade shone brightly. He looked extremely like his biological father, Mo Yixuan.

He stared at Ye Hao in a daze and blinked his eyes as though he wanted to do something but didn’t dare to act on his impulses.

“Yuan Yuan, why are you afraid of me?” Ye Hao asked with a small smile.

Yuan Yuan didn’t talk but only stared at him while biting his lips tightly because he didn’t understand his words.

He Xiyan and Qin Xiaoyu laughed in unison.

As expected, this was a man who didn’t have much experience in handling children. He didn’t even know how to communicate with them.

Ye Hao glared at them.

He didn’t understand what was so amusing.

Then, he brought the child to the living room and ignored the women.

After they arrived at the living room, Yuan Yuan seemed to have become extremely well behaved. He sat quietly on Ye Hao’s lap and constantly rubbed his small hands and would occasionally look up the man who held him but he didn’t speak.

Ye Hao was also looking at him and stared at Yuan Yuan’s face, this face that seemed so familiar to him.

Yuan Yuan seemed to have grown into his looks but he looked more and more like Mo Yixuan and almost looked like an exact copy.

Ye Hao sighed and suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed.

He knew that it was impossible for this child to take after him but the fact that this kid looked so much like Mo Yixuan got his nerves.

This was why he was reluctant to hold the kid. Each time he saw this little kid it was at though he was looking at Mo Yixuan’s face that was asking to be punched.

Yuan Yuan finally smiled when he noticed that Ye Hao’s gaze on him.

Ye Hao also smile and reached out to pinch his face. Then he muttered, “My dear, once you’re a little older, I’ll bring you to get some plastic surgery done to your face. If you continue to look like this, you’d never be able to get a wife.”
