The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 562 - Give Up, Mo Yixuan

Chapter 562: Give Up, Mo Yixuan

She had never taken the initiative in their relations.h.i.+p and had always compromised and allowed her husband to take care of everything because she had married a man who didn’t love her and also married into a family where her mother-in-law hated her. She failed to obtain their approval no matter how much effort she put in. They would not be able to return to being man and wife even if Ye Hao hadn’t appeared because she had never once felt happy when she was with him. In fact, if she could turn back time, she would have wished that she had never met him.

“Give up, Mo Yixuan,” He Xiyan said coldly to the man in front of her after she had thought things through. She looked at him so distantly that it was as though she was looking at a complete stranger.

She turned her back toward him, just as he used to do so when they were still married.

Mo Yixuan stiffened and he pursed his lips tightly. The expression on his face seemed exceptionally painful and tortured.

“Yan Yan…” he tried to call her name but she didn’t even respond, neither did she turn back to look at him.

The two of them stood guard by Yuan Yuan’s bed and took care of the child who carried both their genes. They watched as Yuan Yuan awakened time and time again from his fitful slumber, watched as he coughed, as his IV drip bag was changed and he had to get more injections, and finally, around midnight, He Xiyan could no longer bear it. She sprawled out in front of the bed and slept beside Yuan Yuan who had fallen asleep once more.

Mo Yixuan couldn’t sleep the entire night. He took off his coat and placed it around her shoulders. Then, he walked toward the windowsill and watched the roads that only had a few cars whizzing by and the dim street lamps. He pushed open the window and allowed the cold air to beat against his face and enter his cold heart.

He was certain that he would have never abandoned her if Xia Yuwei had not gotten pregnant. He had always loved her but she had already left him by the time he realized his feelings for her. As for him, he had lost the chance to keep her company and take care of her. He couldn’t even stand by her side when Yuan Yuan was sick.

If he had to name something that he hated about himself, it was the fact that he had failed to treat her well the entire time that they were together.

He had already fallen for her after spending more than four years together, and she was already a part of his life and was like oxygen to him. However, he neglected her and only regretted his decision after she left. It was only after she left that he realized that he felt a suffocating pain in her absence.

Mo Yixuan clutched at his own fingers and his thin lips were pursed so tightly that it was as though they couldn’t be pried open, and his eyes were full of remorse and pain.

“Yan Yan, what must I do for you to return to my side?” Mo Yixuan suddenly turned around and looked at He Xiyan who had already fallen asleep by Yuan Yuan’s bedside.

He walked over and heard her breathing evenly. She seemed very exhausted and her eyes were tightly shut.

He knew very well what she looked like when she was sound asleep. When she was sound asleep, she liked to bite her lips and liked to ball her hands into fists like a child.

This was exactly what she was doing at the moment.

He suddenly bent over and picked her up, then placed her on the bed beside Yuan Yuan’s and carefully tucked her in.

“Rest well, Yan Yan,” Mo Yixuan whispered listlessly. Then, he placed a hand gently on her forehead and pushed aside stray locks of hair that had fallen on her face.

It was already four AM and the hospital was extremely quiet. He could only hear the occasional footsteps once in a while.

Mo Yixuan sat next to He Xiyan’s bed and alternated between staring at his child and staring at the woman he loved. He didn’t sleep the entire night.
