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

Chapter 1101: I Hope That We’ll Meet Again in Our Next Life

She paused for a moment before she said softly, “It’s alright, Jiahang. I’ll head home myself.”

Her voice was very hoarse and Ye Hao’s face immediately flushed red when he heard the hoarseness in her voice because he was jealous of Chen Jiahang.

He could tell that Yan Yan was breaking up with Chen Jiahang but her hoarse voice made his heart clench in pain.

“Did you hear that? She doesn’t need you to send her home. You should just stay here and continue rearing pigs and chickens,” Ye Hao said sarcastically. He felt better after insulting Chen Jiahang but more importantly, he felt comforted when he saw that Yan Yan didn’t seem to want to have anything to do with Chen Jiahang. He had also seen the worry and concern in Yan Yan’s eyes when he crashed onto the ground earlier.

She still cared about him.

He was no longer as emotional nor as angry as before at that thought and the corners of his lips even curled into a small smile.

Chen Jiahang ignored Ye Hao. He didn’t even glance his way; he only had eyes for He Xiyan, the woman who had been by his side for three years. He stared at her departing silhouette.

He took two steps forward and wanted to hold her hand but he hesitated after he stretched out his hand.

The words she had eked through sobs last night played in his mind. She said, “Jiahang… do you know? If I chose to be with you, this would mean that I can’t be with my two children.” She even said, “I truly hope that you’ll be happy… then only will I feel more reassured.”

He ultimately put down his hand.

He turned his head away and he felt as though his heart was being torn into shreds.

He Xiyan didn’t dare to turn back to look at the man behind her. She bit her lip, took several steps forward, and walked out of this house. The moment she stepped past the threshold, she could no longer hold back her tears and her tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Goodbye, Jiahang! I hope that we’ll still meet again in our next life,” she whispered soundlessly.

She suddenly sped up as though there was something she feared. She thought she heard Jiahang’s voice as she walked further and further away from the house. He said, “Yan Yan, you must remember to call me if you’re being bullied. I won’t change my number.”

He Xiyan paused for a few seconds when she heard that but she didn’t dare turn back.

She opened her mouth and her smile froze on her face while her heart hurt so badly that it felt like it was bleeding.

She continued to make her way forward. She had walked this familiar dirt path many times in the past and clearly knew where every turn and pothole was. She could still walk this 600-meter-long path even with her eyes closed.

There was a golden paddy field up ahead and the golden stalks of wheat swayed as a gentle breeze swept by.

This was a beautiful village. She still remembered that she enjoyed drawing this picturesque and beautiful village when she first arrived.

She might probably not draw paddy fields and ponds again after leaving this village.

He Xiyan ran into several villagers who were heading out to the fields to work on her way to the car park.

“Hey, Jiahang’s wife, where are you headed?”

He Xiyan heard Aunty Chen greet her but she didn’t turn back and moved forward as though she had not heard her. She walked past them as though they were complete strangers.

Soon, she arrived at her rental car. It was a black sedan and she had rented it yesterday afternoon from a car rental agency. She opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

She suddenly heard a deep voice say, “Yan Yan, wait a minute.”
