Chapter 890: She Was Ugly

“This is such an expensive gift!” He Xiyan exclaimed. Her heart ached at the thought of how much money this gift had cost but she had forgotten that this man was no longer the Chen Jiahang she used to know but the only son of the Gu family.

Chen Jiahang shook his head gently and wrapped his arms tightly so around her that her face rested against his chest.

She had already been living with him for the past three years and he had given her nothing of worth over the past three years. Even the ring that he had bought for her had only cost $20,000-30,000. He felt guilty for making her suffer with him over the past few years and for taking on the huge role of the breadwinner of the family.

He still remembered that Yan Yan was pale and weak when he had bought her to be his wife but her skin had been extremely fair and in good condition. Now, she was much tanner and her smooth hands were now full of calluses.

“Jiahang, please don’t buy such expensive gifts for me in the future. There are better ways to spend the money,” she said as she held the pendant in her hand. Although she told him that the gift was far too expensive, she was still secretly pleased.

She was a woman and so she would naturally love expensive jewelry.

He Xiyan rose early the next morning and sat down in front of the vanity table after she had washed up.

Her reflection in the mirror showed that there was still a slight blush on her face. She was a little embarra.s.sed to see the love bites from the night before on her body so she pulled her clothes tighter. She even tied a silk scarf around her neck to hide the love bites on her neck.

She looked at the mirror and saw that she had lost some weight because she hadn’t been eating or sleeping well. However, she was still rather chubby and at 162cm, she definitely shouldn’t weigh 62kg. Her face had been small and thin but because of her weight gain, her face shape was now round and chubby. She just had to pinch her cheeks to know how chubby she was at the moment. Moreover, her complexion wasn’t good and over the past few years, she had often gone out to the village, so the bright sun had made her skin very tan. Her tan wasn’t like Jiahang’s healthy bronze shade but it had a yellowish undertone which made her look terrible. Her skin was rough, coa.r.s.e and no longer smooth.

He Xiyan recalled that she was still rather beautiful when she had first arrived at Mang Village and was considered the most beautiful girl in the village but now… she looked horrendous.

She suddenly turned to look at Jiahang who was rummaging through the closet looking for clothes to wear. She stared at his back and had to admit that he had a great figure and a healthy physique. He had the kind of physique that would give any woman a sense of security. Moreover, his features were handsome and well-defined which made him look very masculine.

She turned back to look at the mirror.

Then, she smiled wryly. She had never noticed how different their looks were and now that she thought about it, she didn’t match up to him in terms of looks.

She picked up a bottle of primer after her simple skincare routine and gently spread it across her face. She had to rely on these makeup products to make herself look younger now that she was 30 and even after she applied her makeup, she looked like a woman with average looks because her chubbiness had ruined her overall appearance.

Perhaps it was time to lose some weight.

Then, someone’s phone rang and He Xiyan knew that it was Jiahang’s phone that was ringing from the ringtone.

She saw Jiahang walk toward the bed, pick up his phone, place the phone by his ear, and walk toward the balcony to answer the call.
