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

“Mom, have dinner.” Ye Hao put a large piece of chicken in his mom’s bowl. He couldn’t listen to her chatting without stop like this any longer.

Besides, should they have a little princess, how could she be good-looking if she was tall and strong?

Xia Jingshu turned her head and goggled at her son with a whole unhappy face.

She hated being interrupted most. Her son was really growing more impolite.

However, she was finally quiet indeed.

A family of four enjoyed a good meal together.

After dinner, Xia Jingshu took He Xiyan to the living room.

Ye Hao, however, was called by his father to the study upstairs.

He Xiyan kept smiling the whole time. The mother-in-law was so warm that she could hardly hold it. She only hoped that she would stop asking about their child.

“Yanyan, I indeed has something important to discuss with you this time. I can see that your belly is getting bigger and bigger. So I have discussed with your father-in-law about this, and we would like to hold a wedding for you two next month.”

Xia Jingshu held her daughter-in-law’s hands. Her hands were rough with many wrinkles, yet very warm.

He Xiyan also felt the warmth passed through her hands.

She looked at her mother-in-law, somewhat surprised. It was out of her expectations that she should suddenly talked about this.

She herself hadn’t thought much about it.

Maybe it was because she was now a mother and that it would be her second marriage, she was not keen on it at all. There was no such impulse to hold a beautiful and romantic wedding in her either.

“Mom…” He Xiyan smiled embarrassingly and said. “I don’t want to have any wedding. It’s too tiring. How about just forgetting about it…”

She really did not want to take the trouble any more, not did she wanted to become the focus of the media. She did not want to be recognized by the whole Ye City citizens. Otherwise, it would be very unsafe for her to go out and many other inconveniences would follow as well.

Xia Jingshu was stunned, a pair of apricot-like eyes slightly ruffling up. She seemed to have never expected that He Xiyan would respond so.

How could there be women in the world not interested in grand weddings?

“It’s all right. You father-in-law and I will take care of everything about the wedding. You two just need to be there as the bride and groom on the wedding day.” She followed quickly, putting on an expectant look.

Ye Hao was her only child.

For parents, they naturally expected their children to get married and have children in a normal way. If you did not get married, but the baby came out. They did not think this was proper.

What a shame it was.

He Xiyan closed her mouth, a little embarrassed.

“Mom… We really don’t need it. We young people don’t care about that. Besides, Ye Hao didn’t say that he wanted a wedding either.”

Let it go, really. He Xiyan even did not know how to persuade this mother-in-law.

Upstairs, the father and son just played a round of chess quietly.

Ye Hao lost.

He lost in a short period of time. It seemed that he had no defensive power, or he was simply not in his mind to play chess at all.

Ye Lao put away chess pieces and chessboard. His eyesight dimmed a little, no trace of joy or anger visible on his face. However, his face was somewhat pale with a touch of sickness.

With terminal disease, he was much worse off than before. Now he had to take medicine every day.

“You are still not in a peace, A Hao.” The old Mr. Ye took a sip of the light tea and said lightly.

Ye Hao gave his father a faint smile.

Although he did not grow up under the care of their father, there was still some kind of intimate feelings between them.

Ye Hao said, “Dad, I’m not good at playing chess after all. You playing chess with me is indeed abusing the loser.”

Ye Zhiyuan frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly turning serious. He looked at his son, who was nearly thirty years younger than himself.

As he looked at him, he seemed to see his own young self.
