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

The moment He Xiyan opened her eyes, she saw his eyes that were full of passion and desire. His eyelashes were slightly moist and full of overwhelming passion.

She knew what was about to happen and her hands curled into fists. Soon, sweat formed on her palms because she was so nervous that it made her warm.

She felt so warm that she opened her mouth to take a breath but at that moment, her lips were captured by his.

This was not her first time but it was their first time.

It was already close to midnight and the castle had become extremely quiet. All the lights in the rooms had gone off and everyone was sleeping soundly.

The fragrant scent of the roses had dissipated and was now replaced by the scent of the raging male and female hormones.

Sometime later, when the moon started to slowly set in the west, the couple in the bed then fell into exhausted sleep.

It was 10 AM by the time He Xiyan woke up and she found that she was the only person in bed.

“Ye Hao…” She called out his name but no one responded.

He had probably woke up early to fetch his mother from the hospital after she was discharged.

She looked at the wall on the clock and sure enough, it was 10 AM.

She hurriedly lifted the blankets and a blush stained her face when she saw what was under it. The scenes from last night flashed through her mind like a movie and whatever happened last night had also left many marks on her body. His kisses had left marks like strawberries all over her skin.

The bedsheets were completely rumpled. She hurriedly rose up and threw on a nightgown, then she tidied up the bed and folded the blankets tidily.

It was almost 10:30 AM by the time she was done washing up.

She was extremely hungry but it was past breakfast time in this castle and lunch would only be served at 12 noon so she would need to continue waiting.

Her stomach growled unhappily.

He Xiyan had no choice but to head into the kitchen to search for something to eat.

When she entered the dining room, Chef Liu from the kitchen seemed to be expecting her arrival and immediately took out a plate when he saw her.

“Here is your breakfast, Miss He.”

He Xiyan was stunned.

She had woken up so late that there should have been no breakfast, so she was surprised to see that they had prepared her breakfast. The chef here must be extremely professional.

She was so hungry that she did not probe further and immediately started to eat. It was a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup and a bowl of congee. These were dishes that she often ate and enjoyed eating.

She chewed on a mouthful of noodles and soon, she finished the entire bowl of noodles. Then, she started to feast on the congee.

Oh no! He Xiyan suddenly rose to her feet. Her gaze was anxious and her brows were knotted tightly.

She had only focused on eating and it wasn’t until now that she remembered that it was some time since she had her last period. Clearly, it was not her ‘safe period’ yesterday. She had been infertile in the past and thus, did not really take notice of such things but now that she was cured, then…

She immediately collected a car from the underground parking of the castle, did a quick search on the map, then drove toward the nearest pharmacy which was less than 3 kilometers away.

She did consult the salesgirl after she entered the pharmacy. Instead, she immediately went to the racks to search for the morning-after pill, and picked up two boxes of condoms from another rack. She felt that she had been too careless yesterday and she should have prepared these items since the day she moved into the castle. It was only a matter of time before they engaged in such intimate acts but they were only lovers, not man and wife.
