The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1155

Chapter 1155: There’s No Need to Apologize

He Xiyan chatted with Yuan Yuan after their meal, then she used her phone to take several photographs. It wasn’t until 9 PM that she rose to leave.

A pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist just as she reached the doorway.

Then, she felt a warm breath by her ear that smelled faintly of tobacco.

He Xiyan stiffened and she couldn’t help but frown.

“Mo…” she started before she heard his hoarse voice that sounded much older than his years.

“Yan Yan, please stay…” Mo Yixuan said as he pursed his pale lips. A tear fell from the corner of his eye as he blinked and landed on He Xiyan’s neck.

He Xiyan felt the warmth of his teardrop when it landed on her neck. Her shoulders shook and she felt her heart clench in pain.

She tried her best to move his hands away from her waist but his hands tightened around her waist and pinned her in place.

Then, she heard him say hoarsely, “I’m begging you, please don’t leave me. Don’t leave me to face the long years ahead alone.”

Mo Yixuan was begging her not to leave. He was no longer arrogant and aloof in front of her. He could give her everything she wanted, his money, his fortune, and everything he had, as long as she agreed to stay by his side. Then, their family would be together forever.

He hadn’t had a single restful day since the day she left him and he was never once truly happy after she left. He loved her, he truly did, but he was too foolish and took too long to understand his feelings for her. He had failed to appreciate what he once had and he had constantly taken advantage of her love for him and only realized how cold and selfish he had been after she no longer had any feelings for him.

He Xiyan bit her thin lips and her brows slammed together in a deep frown. She kept blinking and her conflicted emotions were reflected in her eyes.

She looked down at the pair of hands around her waist and a tear fell from her eyes onto his hands.

She had spent four years of her youth holding these hands but these hands were ultimately not the hands she would hold for the rest of her life.

“Mo Yixuan!” He Xiyan said after she took a deep breath. Then, she turned to look into his dark eyes.

Both his eyes and hers brimmed with tears but he looked at her apologetically, imploringly, and hopefully, while she looked at him apologetically, helplessly, and sadly.

She had truly loved him when they were together but now, she no longer loved him.

Mo Yixuan’s heart dropped and he reached out to grab her shoulders as though he was grabbing a lifebuoy that could save him from drowning.

“Yan Yan, will you return to my side?” he asked nervously. She did not give him a response but she cried. He was surprised to see her crying.

He had constantly ignored her while they were together and now, he still did not understand her. He couldn’t read the emotions in her eyes, neither did he understand why she was crying.

The corners of her lips curved upwards and she shot him a wry smile. She looked up at Mo Yixuan and said equally hoarsely, “I’m sorry.”

Her voice was very soft. Then, she shut her eyes tightly.

She could no longer give him the love and companionship he sought.

Mo Yixuan felt as though his heart had been lashed by a whip. It hurt so badly that he almost threw up blood.

His hands tightened around her shoulders, afraid that she would disappear once he let go.

“Yan Yan, there’s no need for you to apologize.”
