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

Ye Hao frowned and turned to look at He Xiyan. Then, he placed a hand on her shoulder and held her tightly, as though he was trying to comfort her.

“Alright, Yan Yan. I’m fine. I’m just annoyed about something at work. Let’s go get dinner.”

Then, he took her hand and led her to the dining hall.

He Xiyan sighed. She was no fool and could tell that he wasn’t telling the truth. She could also tell that he was very irritated and upset but he didn’t want to share his troubles with her.

They had their meal in silence and although Ye Hao still continued to place food in her bowl as per his usual habit, but he remained quiet and subdued.

At night, Ye Hao sat alone on the sofa in their bedroom and closed his eyes, then leaned his head back against his hands. He looked very exhausted and also annoyed.

His phone continued to beep with text notifications. These notifications went on for some time and he heard it more than ten times.

He left his phone in a corner and completely ignored the messages that were flooding in because he knew who had sent them. Each time he blocked her number, that woman would use another number to text him. He had gotten to the point where he couldn’t be bothered to look at his phone.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders.

“It’s her, right?” He Xiyan said softly by his ear. She walked around the sofa and picked up his phone on the tea table. His phone was continued to blink furiously.

“Why don’t you look at what she has to say?” She passed the phone to her husband, then sat beside him.

She knew of this woman’s existence since the day they got married and also noticed how annoyed and angered her husband was at the mention of that woman’s name, so she immediately guessed the reason for his similar behavior today.

But she couldn’t understand why he hated his ex-girlfriend so much.

Ye Hao turned to face her and his eyes were completely dark.

He handed his phone back to his wife and said, “You read it, Yan Yan. Delete those messages after you’re done reading them.”

Yan Yan was surprised, then her grip on the phone suddenly loosened and the phone fell onto the sofa.

She took Ye Hao’s hand and stared intently at him.

“Tell me the reason you broke up, Ye Hao. Why does she keep harassing you?” What had spurred that woman to be unable to give up on their relationship even after five years? Now that he was married, why was this woman continually harassing her husband?

Ye Hao’s brows slammed together and anger gradually appeared in his amber-colored eyes. He gently bit his lips as though he was trying greatly to restrain himself, then he only turned to look at his wife a long while later and said, “She slept with Ye Yi five years ago.”

Then, he closed his eyes and tried to hide the hatred and anger in them.

He Xiyan’s eyes suddenly widened and she stared at her husband in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock.

She knew that Ye Hao broke up with his ex-girlfriend because his ex-girlfriend had fallen for someone else but she never expected that person to be his brother, Ye Yi.

She couldn’t understand why that woman was now harassing Ye Hao when she was the one who turned her back on their relationship.

“Are you sure? Ye Hao… could this be a misunderstanding? Is this the reason why she keeps harassing you?” He Xiyan gripped his hand tightly. She didn’t really believe his story since she felt that no woman would constantly hound her ex-boyfriend if they had broken up due to her betrayal unless it had all been a misunderstanding.

Ye Hao’s gaze was cold and hard. He slowly opened his lips that were tightly pursed and said coldly, “I saw it with my own eyes.”
