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

Xu Yuwei felt as though she had eaten some sweetmeats for the man’s words warmed her heart.

What did she want? She held her blanket tight and finally expressed her greatest desire after she thought for a moment.

“Yixuan, I want a grand wedding. We have not even held our wedding ceremony yet.” She wanted a wedding ceremony that would turn all the other women in the world green with jealousy. She wanted to put on the most beautiful gown in the world and pair it with the most expensive jewelry. She wanted the media to broadcast their wedding in real time, in order for that woman to give up completely on Yixuan.

She remembered the maids mentioning that Yixuan and He Xiyan’s wedding had been a simple church ceremony. Only a couple of close family and friends had attended the wedding and there was no media coverage. She wanted to make use of this opportunity to tell Xiyan that the woman Yixuan loved was her, and he only loved her.

Mo Yixuan paused for a moment, and then a barely perceptible look of regret flashed past his eyes. It was not clear who he felt regretful toward.

Nonetheless, he nodded. This woman had borne his child after all and all she wanted was a wedding that all women dreamed of having.

“Sure…” He replied without much emotion. “Once you have finished your confinement, I will make preparations for the wedding.”

“That’s great, Yixuan.” She took his hands in hers and her joy and pride were clearly reflected in her eyes.

In one month, she would be known to all as Mrs. Mo. Then, everyone would know that this man belonged to her.

In her hospital room, this couple was growing closer because of the birth of her child. However, in a city 2,000 kilometers away, that woman still continued her solitary lifestyle.

He Xiyan pushed a small trolley down the aisle of a market nearby. She purchased vegetables, fish, beef and also several condiments.

After she returned home, she started to cook. This time she was cooking for two because Ye Hao said that he would be coming over for dinner after he got off.

He would get off in another 30 minutes so, by the time she finished cooking, he would be arriving anytime soon.

She received no other visitors to her apartment apart from him. This apartment was his as well but it was listed under his mother’s name.

She rinsed the rice and started to cook it. Then, she started to chop the vegetables. She was now nine months pregnant and would be due anytime soon. Thus, simple chores like this tired her out easily. Fortunately, she was only preparing to cook three dishes and one of them was a steamed dish.

She carefully sliced the beef. This was Ye Hao’s favorite so he would insist on having this dish each time he came.

The door opened. Ye Hao opened the door with the spare key and strode into her apartment. After entering, he took off his coat and threw it on the sofa.

It was far too hot. August had been dry and scorching, with temperatures reaching 40 degree Celsius every day. It was still hot despite the air-conditioning at home.

He saw that the kitchen was lit so he entered and raised his hand to his mouth to cough softly.

He Xiyan finally noticed his presence.

She turned around…

And stiffened when she saw his naked chest.

“You…” Her words were stuck in her throat.

Ye Hao walked toward her nonchalantly and reached for the knife in her hand.

“I’ll take over. You should rest.” He pointed toward the door as he spoke imperatively. However, he was secretly laughing.

He thought it was amusing how this woman who was almost a mother by now, still felt uncomfortable at the sight of a man’s body.

“Get out of here!” He raised his voice when he saw that she still hadn’t moved. “Don’t worry, I will still be able to whip up something edible.”
