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

“I lived with your family but I never experienced any familial warmth. Your mother detested me and you didn’t care about me. In the three years of our marriage, I was like an outsider in the Mo household. Even when I left, it was only the two maids who truly missed me.”

“Yixuan, do you really think that we are compatible?” He Xiyan slowly talked about the past matters that brought her such pain and sorrow. After she finished speaking, she realized that she failed to hold back her tears. Those tears slid along her cheeks and soon, her face was drenched in her tears.

Mo Yixuan felt his heart wrench in pain, as though it was being lashed by a whip. He was in such pain that he couldn’t breathe. His eyes were also brimming with tears. Every single word she said earlier was like a knife that pierced through him, to the point that his whole body was covered in injuries.

He reached out to wipe her tears away and his fingers started to tremble when they touched her face.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… Yan Yan,” he repeated the word ‘sorry’ twice and he was overwhelmed with remorse and guilt. If she didn’t tell him those things earlier, he would never have known how much she suffered. This was all because he had neglected her and had never protected her.

He Xiyan sighed and reached out to remove his hand from her face.

She struggled to regulate her breathing, then she looked at Mo Yixuan. There was no hatred nor resentment in her eyes.

“It’s alright, Yixuan. I’m telling you this so that you would understand that we are truly not compatible. I hope that you would forget about me to find the woman who truly suits you and someone that your mother would like,” she said evenly. She had forced the tears back in. She had already let go of her hatred, neither did she regret her past decisions.

Mo Yixuan closed his eyes slightly and a teardrop rolled out of the corner of his eyes but his fingers were clenched tightly because he hated himself.

He had always been cold and aloof. Despite his age, he had never pursued a girl and had always been aloof to other women. Even if He Xiyan was not compatible with him, then who else would he be compatible with in this world?

No, he couldn’t let her leave.

Mo Yixuan thought quickly and reached out once more to grip her shoulders tightly. His eyes were full of remorse but his heart never wavered.

“Yan Yan, please go home with me. I’ll settle the issue with my mother. If she still can’t accept you, then we’ll move away. Now that she has a grandson, she won’t make life difficult for you any longer,” Mo Yixuan hurriedly said, his eyes were deeply emotional and affectionate.

As long as she returned home with him, he would resolve all problems. He didn’t help her solve these problems in the past but this time, he resolved to handle them to the best of his abilities.

He Xiyan sighed once more and pushed him away forcefully. She wasn’t sure if he didn’t understand her or if it was something else, but she had already made it clear enough that things were impossible between them.

“I said that things are no longer possible between us, Mo Yixuan. I’m married to Ye Hao now, do you understand?” He Xiyan’s brows knitted tightly. She didn’t know how else she could convince him and started to grow agitated. She really hated how he harassed her in such a manner.

“If you’re married, you could always get a divorce,” Mo Yixuan suddenly raised his voice as he slapped the table hard, wishing that he could destroy it. That marriage was like a thorn in his heart that hurt him each time it was mentioned.

He Xiyan had nothing else to say. She had come hoping to persuade him today but she didn’t know why he was so stubborn.

She shook her head helplessly, then suddenly turned and walked toward the door.

Since nothing she said was getting through to him, then what else could she say?
