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

He Xiyan froze in surprise and her chopsticks fell from her hands.

She looked at Yang Jing and blinked rapidly before she heaved a long sigh and said, “There’s nothing more between us!”

Yes, that was it! That man was like an unattainable goal to her.

“What do you mean?” Yang Jing asked with a confused frown. She added huffily, “Xiyan, let me tell you, stop being so hung up over him. He’s just an ungrateful man who took advantage of your kindness. You’ve given him quite a number of things and if he’s not interested in you, he should’ve returned your gifts. He’s accepted your gifts without giving you a clear answer, so you should stop this foolishness. You should spend the money on getting yourself some clothes and shoes.”

Yang Jing seemed very angry and her face slowly turned red under the lamplight.

She felt very annoyed whenever she thought about the attitude of Mo Yixuan. He looked like a model but how could he be so selfish? He hadn’t even exchanged a word with her friend over the past year even though he had accepted all her gifts.

This was the first time she had seen such a selfish man but unfortunately, her friend was completely infatuated with him.

Zhang Fan, who sat beside Yang Jing, coughed softly and gave his girlfriend a pat on her shoulder as he gestured for her not to say such harsh words.

He turned to He Xiyan and said with a smile,” Yang Jing has been easily riled up recently. Please don’t take it to heart.”

He Xiyan smiled wryly and shook her head.

She wasn’t angry because she knew that her friend had spoken so frankly because she was worried about her.

It was true that Mo Yixuan hadn’t even said a single word to her over the past year. She had looked forward to hearing from him for a year and he had let her down for a year. Perhaps because she wasn’t completely over him, or perhaps all she wanted was to hear from him. It didn’t matter whether he would accept or reject her feelings, all she wanted was to hear from him.

She continued to eat her food and she couldn’t help but notice how attentive and loving Zhang Fan was to Yang Jing. He would often put food into her bowl and when she choked on her food, he immediately went to get her some water and stroked her back.

She’d be lying if she said she wasn’t jealous. She looked on with mixed feelings and she couldn’t pinpoint exactly how she felt.

She was just like any ordinary girl and hoped that she would be able to find someone who loved her wholeheartedly and who would protect her, but she had yet to find someone who fit her image of an ideal boyfriend.

She had fallen in love but that man didn’t seem to have any feelings toward her while she didn’t know where she would be able to find a man who truly loved her.

Zhang Fan suddenly looked up at her and smiled.

“Don’t be too disappointed. I don’t think that the man you like hates you. He probably hasn’t decided whether or not he wants to accept your feelings and this is likely why he hasn’t responded,” Zhang Fan said.

She paused and the crab that she had just picked up with her chopsticks fell back into her bowl. She turned and looked at Zhang Fan in confusion.

Zhang Fan continued, “I mean, he probably hasn’t responded because he feels conflicted. If I were him, I would reject any girl I didn’t have feelings for outright. His actions seem to indicate that he is wavering. He might even contact you soon.”
