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

Chapter 1179: Yan Yan, I’m Hungry

He Xiyan stared at his bare shoulders. He was usually in a suit so she didn’t realize how much his figure had changed. This was the first time she noticed how much weight he had lost.

She guessed that he must have been exhausted from working so hard all these years.

Ye Hao smiled tenderly and his gaze didn’t move away from He Xiyan’s face. He watched as she carefully washed his body and the way she took care of him reminded him of how she had tended meticulously to him 10 years ago.

He had been in a terrible car accident which left him with critical injuries and several bone fractures. During the time when he had been left bedridden for three months, she had taken of him just as tenderly as how she was caring for him now. She would cook for him, help him wash his body, and talk to him in an attempt to alleviate his boredom.

These memories were still fresh in his mind’s eye.

He was touched by her actions. This was the first time he had felt such warmth and kindness that was all too familiar to him after so many years had passed.

“Yan Yan…” Ye Hao said and his amber-colored eyes brimmed with tears.

He Xiyan paused and her grip tightened around the towel. She turned to look at Ye Hao’s face and noticed the tears that brimmed in his eyes.

“You…” she said with a frown. She was surprised that he was crying.

“I’ll be done soon,” she said and a flash of embarrassment crossed her eyes. She didn’t ask why he was crying.

She had already pulled down his baggy pants, so he was completely naked in front of her.

She bit her lips and her face turned a shade redder than before. She was no longer a shy maiden and she was very familiar with this man’s body but she still felt extremely embarrassed in front of him.

Damn it, she should have let the nurse do her job.

Ye Hao smiled when he clocked her embarrassed expression and her flushed face.

She had reacted in the same manner 10 years ago as well.

He longed to pull her down to him and to kill her passionately.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t even turn around, so he could only lie on the bed like a paralyzed man. She was so near but yet so far.

Once he got better, he would…

He Xiyan quickly finished washing him and placed the towel back in the basin before she wrapped his blanket tightly around him.

She wanted to accuse him of being a pervert. He couldn’t even move but yet his body still reacted when she was washing him earlier.

She wondered if he would have done the same if the nurse had been the one to wash him.

She went to the washroom to pour out the water and when she returned, she noticed that Ye Hao was staring hungrily at her. The strange look in his eyes made her feel very uncomfortable. It was as though he wanted to swallow her whole.

She walked over and placed his hand back into his blanket.

“Why don’t you rest?” she said as she took a deep breath.

Ye Hao smiled at her.

“I just woke up less than an hour ago, so how would I be able to fall back asleep?” he asked.

He Xiyan was speechless.

She didn’t know what to say to him, so she rose to her feet, walked to the windowsill and drew the curtains. Then, she went to get a cup of water.

She placed a straw in a cup of water.

Ye Hao couldn’t turn around, neither could he move, so this was the only way he could drink some water.

He took several sips of water before his stomach growled. He was hungry because it had been a while since he had last eaten.

“Yan Yan, I’m hungry.”
