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

He Xiyan froze and looked at her husband in surprise. She didn’t understand why he would suddenly say such a thing.

Ye Hao tugged her closer and put his arm around her shoulders, then said apologetically, “I shouldn’t have ignored you the previous time and I’m sorry that my actions made you worried and upset.”

He had been really angry then and he was also afraid that she would return to Mo Yixuan’s side for Yuan Yuan’s sake. In his anger, he had ignored her texts and calls, so she must have been extremely worried and frightened to have gone all the way to the office in the middle of the night in search of him.

He Xiyan pursed her lips and shook her head gently, and her lips curved into a faint smile, “It’s alright, dear. I was in the wrong since I should have discussed this matter with you first and I was too weak myself, which was why they managed to get under my skin.” In any case, she should bear the blame for the entire incident.

Ye Hao swept a lock of hair that had fallen beside her cheek away from her face and dropped a small kiss on her forehead. He looked at his wife, the woman he had chosen more than a year ago. He had many options back then but he chose to stick by her even though she couldn’t be considered excellent in any way. Now that he thought about it, he must have wanted to protect her. She did have several weaknesses but he loved her strengths. She was kind, considerate and took care of both his parents, so she would make a good wife. This was why he was so insistent on wanting to marry her.

When he met her, he didn’t fall madly in love as he had before but he couldn’t get her out of his mind and his heart hurt for her, and he wanted to protect her. Now that he thought about it, he must have fallen for her at first sight.

“Yan Yan, I love you,” Ye Hao suddenly whispered those words into her ear, and he truly meant them.

Then, he realized that the woman in his arms had suddenly sat up straighter.

He Xiyan looked at her husband and her grip on her cup of milk tea suddenly tightened so much that the milk tea looked like it was on the verge of spilling out of the straw. She looked into his eyes and after a while, her lips finally curved into a smile.

“I love you too,” she said softly into his ear and leaned against his shoulder, heedless of the fact that they were in public.

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky across the river and turned it into a garden bursting with a many flowers at full bloom. The brilliant and colorful fireworks were as dazzling as crystals, and their colorful patterns spread across the sky like silk ribbons. After the fireworks exploded in the sky, they would leave a trailing light that resembled a comet behind, as though they were reluctant to leave.

Ye Hao and He Xiyan quietly admired the scene with their fingers intertwined.

The fireworks show ended in 30 minutes, then they rose to their feet and shared a hug, then used the camera to capture this moment.

Then, they checked-in at the only seven-star hotel at Ye City. This hotel building was a significant landmark of Ye City and it was decorated very luxuriously and made use of high-technology, so each room had a unique style.

Ye Hao had made a reservation for a suite that was decorated very romantically and the room was styled in such a way that it resembled the Garden of Eden of the fairy-tale. The palette of the room was both mysterious and dreamy and there were 3D patterns on the wall, so He Xiyan felt as though she had walked into a fairy-tale as she entered the room. There were pomegranate trees in full bloom, dancing butterflies, a flowing stream and a naked Adam and Eve.

The decorations in this room immediately caught her attention and she admired the beautiful world that seemed to have only existed in the movies thus far.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist and pulled her out of her reverie.

“Go on and take a shower...”
