The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 991

Chapter 991: Don’t Think Too Much

Yuan Yuan pulled up the blankets and tried to tuck his father into bed but he wasn’t strong enough and failed to pull up his blanket.

He Xiyan walked to his bedside, reached out, and helped Mo Yixuan pull up his blankets.

Then, suddenly, someone reached out to grab her hand.

He Xiyan frowned at this sudden touch.

“Mo Yixuan…” she said and there was a touch of displeasure on her face.

She hated how he would always try to get all handsy with her.

Mo Yixuan held her hand tightly and his heart suddenly trembled at her familiar warmth. It had been such a long time since he had last held her this way.

“Yan Yan…thank you,” he said gravely with a small smile on his face. His eyes soon brimmed with unshed tears.

He knew that she found him annoying and probably even hated him, so he was surprised that she was willing to stay and look after him along with Yuan Yuan.

He Xiyan frowned and quickly looked away.

“I’m doing this because of Yuan Yuan. Don’t think too much into this,” she said coldly. She naturally knew what her ex-husband was thinking.

She had to admit that she had once been crazily in love with this man and her forehead would be filled with cold sweat from anxiety whenever this man fell sick. However, she no longer felt anything toward him because her feelings for him had waned a long time ago.

She only hoped that he would treasure his own body and prevent this from happening again.

“I know,” Mo Yixuan said with a small wry smile. He looked at Yuan Yuan and said, “Yuan Yuan, I’d like to speak to your mother in private. Could you head out to play with Aunty Wu and the others?”

Yuan Yuan’s eyes widened and he let out a small exclamation.

He looked at his father in confusion but he nodded obediently and left the room. He headed toward the restroom where Wu Xiaomin and the others were.

Silence immediately descended upon the room, and all they could hear were the sounds of each other breathing.

He Xiyan pulled her hand away from Mo Yixuan’s grip and looked at him coldly.

“There’s nothing left to say, Mo Yixuan,” she said. She didn’t understand what he wanted to say to her.

She felt as though they had already said whatever they wanted to say and she no longer loved nor hated this man.

Mo Yixuan bit his pale lips and he couldn’t even bear to tear his eyes away from her. He looked at this woman who used to love him wholeheartedly and he felt like his heart was about to break not two. He paused for a moment before he said, “I saw Xia Yuwei several days ago…”

Boom…

He Xiyan immediately frowned and looked at Mo Yixuan in confusion. She didn’t understand why he suddenly brought Xia Yuwei up since she didn’t even care how that woman was doing. She had even forgotten that this woman existed, the woman who destroyed her marriage and family.

She felt as though Xia Yuwei was someone she used to know in her previous life.

“She apologized to me and also said that she hoped that she could meet you so that she would convey her apologies in person,” Mo Yixuan said gravely and his voice was very hoarse.

He Xiyan turned to look at him and her eyes were cold as she said, “Please tell her not to look for me. I don’t hate her at all.”

She didn’t understand why Xia Yuwei wanted to see her since she had nothing to do with that woman.
