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

Chapter 1321: This Was Her Last Gift to Him

“Thank you!” He Xiyan said as she took out a small box from her bag. This box was wrapped in colored wrapping paper so it wasn’t clear what it contained.

She had thought about delivering the box herself but she lacked the courage to do so and she was afraid that he would reject her or look at her coldly.

The man didn’t turn her down and nodded at her with a smile.

“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that he gets this,” he said and smiled, revealing two neat rows of pearly whites. His name was Chen Shaoping and he was her classmate who hailed from the same hometown as she did. He had also helped her find out Mo Yixuan’s contact number, address, and other information.

He Xiyan pursed her lips into a smile but she still felt a little embarrassed when she spoke to him. Although he already knew how she felt about Mo Yixuan, she still felt awkward around him.

“Thanks!” she finally said. She thought for a moment before she added, “I’ll buy you a meal someday.”

It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn’t shown her appreciation to this man who had offered her quite a bit of help.

Chen Shaoping burst out laughing and said, “Sure! Once I’ve successfully matchmade both of you, please bring me to the Galaxy Restaurant for a meal.” Then, he revved his engine and drove off quickly.

He Xiyan took a deep breath. A gust of wind blew past her face and soon, her face turned red from the chilly air but she didn’t feel cold at all.

It was the 27th of December and it was just like any other ordinary day but this day became special to her after she found out that it was his birthday.

She looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and foggy, and it looked like it was about to rain at any moment. Oh wait, it looked like it could snow at any moment.

Ye City experienced regular snowfall every winter and since this was her third winter at Ye City, she had gotten used to it.

She had gotten used to the chill, the liveliness, and the pressures that came with living in such a big city.

She smiled and looked in the direction of where Chen Shaoping had gone.

She guessed that Mo Yixuan would receive her gift soon.

This was the 23rd time that she was giving him a gift and coincidentally, it was also his 23rd birthday.

She had given him all sorts of gifts over the past year, including a scarf, tie, the sketches she made of him, and several snacks she made herself. These weren’t expensive gifts but she put in a lot of effort into making those gifts.

He had never once responded to her and had never sent her a text but she had gotten used to his aloofness.

This would be her last present to him.

If she still did not receive a response, it was probably better for her to stop harassing him.

She wasn’t that bold and lacked the courage to continue pursuing a man who showed no interest in her. She also couldn’t convince herself that she would be able to look on calmly as he courted other girls in the future.

She had tried her best to win his heart, so she would give up if her feelings were not reciprocated and wished him all the best.

She heaved a sigh and two tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

She wasn’t upset; she merely felt a little melancholic.

She had been all alone all these years. She would learn alone, live alone, and face her problems alone.

She was even all alone in harboring a one-sided crush this time.

She wondered why he wouldn’t call her or send her a text.

He could have rejected her outright if he didn’t like her and she would have given up on him as well.
