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

The confinement nanny brought the child outside.

The atmosphere in the room turned completely awkward.

Ye Hao turned to face her, his brows knotted in a deep frown and his amber-colored eyes reflected his discomfiture.

He walked toward her bed and his gaze fell on her face.

He Xiyan realized what he was about to do and her palms turned clammy with sweat and she blushed furiously. She bit at her lips, feeling embarrassed and dejected.

He pulled her blanket away. She was so nervous that she started to shake and goosebumps broke out on her skin.

“Ye…” Before she could finish saying his name, he reached out and covered her eyes with his left hand.

“Don’t say anything.” Ye Hao said coldly. His right hand was already in front of her chest and deftly undid her buttons one at a time.

Soon, her swollen area was completely exposed. It was twice its normal size because it was engorged with milk.

He took a deep breath and his brows were still knitted tightly as if he was hesitating, Then, he quickly placed his mouth there.

The moment his lips touched her skin, He Xiyan felt as though a jolt of electricity was running through her body. She pointed her toes and her legs could not stop quaking. Although her eyes were covered, she knew and could feel what he was doing.

Ye Hao only lifted his head after the lightly scented and sweet liquid entered his lips.

He stood up and reached for a piece of tissue to wipe at the liquid left on his mouth. He did not realize that under the lamplight, he was also blushing.

He had girlfriends before and knew what couples did but this was the first time he had done such a thing. He was extremely embarrassed.

He Xiyan was mortified. She hurriedly buttoned up her gown and wrapped herself tightly in her blanket.

“Thank you…” She stammered out, her voice trembling so badly that she could barely utter the words.

Ye Hao only nodded.

Since he met this woman, he had already experienced all kinds of embarrassing moments.

He then exited her hospital ward.

When he left her ward, he spotted an all too familiar figure.

“Mum, what are you doing here?” Ye Hao looked at his mother in surprise. He had arranged for his mother to be traveling overseas during this period. Why was she back in town less than a month later?

Xia Jingshu dragged her son toward the lounge. Her anxious demeanor made it look like she had something extremely serious to say.

“Tell me, son. Is…that child of He Xiyan’s yours?” Xia Jingshu asked anxiously. She had seen the baby earlier and he was so cute and beautiful that she liked it at first sight. She recalled her son mentioning that he had met He Xiyan last year and hoped that the gods had blessed the Ye family with a grandchild.

However, her hopes were soon dashed.

Ye Hao frowned and his face was grave. He felt strangely irritated each time someone mentioned the child’s father.

“Mum, didn’t I tell you earlier? The child’s father is He Xiyan’s ex-husband. She fell pregnant before they were divorced.” He had already told her the same thing three times and clearly did not want to talk about it again.

Oh well…

Xia Jingshu sighed. Her son’s words had truly dashed her hopes. She had clung on to hope that this child was her grandson when he saw how attentive his son was to He Xiyan. Unfortunately, the child was her ex-husband’s.

She pulled at her son’s shirt sleeve and suddenly felt regretful. This was all her fault. Didn’t she always tell her son to visit He Xiyan? Now her son had gone and fallen in love but the child was someone else’s.

Sigh…she only had herself to blame.

Xia Jingshu was wracked with guilt.

“So…Ah Hao, shall I ask my friends to set you up with good women?” Although she liked He Xiyan, her child did not belong to the Ye family. Her son did not have to marry a girl who was of a similar pedigree but she could not let her son raise someone else’s child.

“There’s no need for that!” Ye Hao turned around. He knew that his mother meant well but he was not in the mood to go for blind dates. Blind dates? What a joke.
