DBSNTM-54. Haoxuan Was More Important Than Him (YiZhan ff)

Cheng brought Zhan out of Yuehua Media Company through the back door.

There was a black car waiting for them outside.

When they came near, a bodyguard opened the car door for them.

Cheng pushed Zhan in and looked around for a while before he entered the car.

The driver started the car as soon as he got in.

After bringing Zhan out successfully, Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.

However, when he turned to look at Zhan, he become worried again.

“Zhan, are you alright?”

Immediately, Cheng realized that he had asked a stupid question.

How could Zhan be alright after this?

Zhan and Yibo were a legitimate couple. However, when people saw the picture of the marriage certificate, they just assume that Zhan was a mistress.

Even him was disgusted, not to mention Zhan.

However, Zhan just sat there still with a numb expression on his pale face. It made Cheng very worried.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s not that serious. You have to trust Yibo. He will handle this matter well.” Cheng tried to comfort him.

However, he found that his words didn’t have any influence on him.

He scratched his head irritably.

Zhan turned to look at him and the first thing he said after seeing him was, “Where’s Yibo?”

“He….” Cheng saw that Zhan’s expression was strange, but he still told him the truth, “He went to the development zone in the suburbs to inspect. He’s heading back and will be here in about an hour.”

“Alright,” Zhan replied. He leant against the seat and didn’t say anything else.

Seeing him like this, Cheng stopped talking.

No matter what he said, it couldn’t compare to Yibo’s words.

***

The car arrived at Cheng’s place.

Cheng lived in a duplex suite in a high-end neighborhood.

As he opened the door, he explained to Zhan, “Lu Enjie followed Yibo to his mansion last time. There must be a lot of reporters hiding there, so I brought you to my home….”

Cheng treated Zhan gently concerning his current situation. Normally he would only be so tender to Ziyi.

“Thank you,” Zhan thanked him blankly and followed him inside.

As soon as they entered, Cheng asked him, “Do you want some water or other drinks?”

Zhan shook his head.

Cheng still gave him a cup of water.

After a while, Zhan reached his hand towards him and said, “Give me my phone.”

“Your phone…. There’s nothing interesting to see on your phone. Let’s have a chat, alright?”

Of course, Cheng knew how ugly those people on the Internet would curse, so he didn’t want to give Zhan the phone.

Zhan did not insist.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

“It could be Yibo,” Cheng said as he stood up and opened the door.

Zhan finally had a reaction.

He turned to look at the door. However, it was not Yibo, but Ziyi.

Ziyi had a quick temper. She directly came over in her acting clothes. Her hair was messy and it could tell that she came here in a rush.

“Zhan!” Ziyi ran towards Zhan. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But after a while, she just said, “It will be over.”

Zhan nodded, “I know.”

Ziyi looked at Zhan carefully and didn’t find anything wrong with him, other than his pale complexion.

Zhan was strangely calm, which made Ziyi even more worried.

She and Cheng exchanged glances, and Cheng shook his head helplessly.

For a moment, the three of them sat in a large room, speechless.

Yibo arrived an hour later.

After he entered the door, Yibo walked directly towards Zhan.

Just as he was about to reach Zhan, he suddenly became hesitant.

He walked to him slowly, squatted down and held Zhan’s hand, “Zhan.”

Zhan looked up. His face was pale, but he didn’t cry, “You’re here.”

“Yes.” Yibo nodded with a hesitant expression. In the end, he only said two words: “Trust me.”

Zhan did not say anything.

How could Yibo say that to him?

Yibo was the person Zhan trusted the most for the whole time.

Even when Zhan’s name was trending on Weibo, he wasn’t afraid, because he knew that Yibo would fix it.

Zhan stared coldly at Yibo. There was not a trace of a smile in his beautiful eyes at all.

They were empty and numb.

After a long while, Zhan asked faintly, “Was it him?”

On the side, Cheng and Ziyi looked at each other. They did not understanding who Zhan was talking about.

However, Zhan and Yibo knew very well who it was.

Yibo knew that Zhan was talking about Haoxuan.

Zanilla and Haoxuan hooked up before, and she even wanted to enter the show business because of him, It was reasonable to suspect that Zanilla and Haoxuan had colluded in what happened today.

For the first time, Yibo didn’t dare to look directly into Zhan’s eyes. He pursed his lips, looked away, and clenched his fists tightly.

Suddenly, Zhan laughed.”You still can’t believe that he will turn against you.”

Zhan paused and then continued, “Even though he repeatedly drags me into the whirlpool of scandals and revelations, and even though he did this today, you still think of him as your big brother….”

“I will give you an explanation,” Yibo interrupted him, his tone extremely firm.

Zhan seemed to be finally enraged and his voice became sharp, “I don’t need your explanation! What relationship do we have? We have nothing to do with each other!”

Yibo explained to him, “I know nothing about the marriage certificate.”

Zhan pulled back his hand and stopped talking.

Even Zhan could think of Haoxuan, so could Yibo.

Yibo must have already found out about the truth.

Yibo looked cold and heartless, but in fact, he had deep feelings for those close to him, He didn’t want to believe that Haoxuan would do this, so he hadn’t laid the cards on the table.

And it allowed Haoxuan to pull the same trick again and again.

Yibo was not an indecisive person, but he cared too much about Haoxuan, so he always wanted to give Haoxuan another chance.

The more opportunities he gave Haoxuan, the more harm Haoxuan would do to Zhan.

In other words, to Yibo, Haoxuan was more important than me.

Yibo’s indulgence towards Haoxuan led to what happened today.

Cheng and Ziyi were completely dumbfounded by their conversation.

Ziyi said in disbelief, “Haoxuan did this?”

“Why would he do that?” Cheng also couldn’t believe it.

“I’m a little tired. I want to have a rest,” Zhan looked at Ziyi and asked, “Ziyi, can I go to your place?”

Ziyi immediately stood up and said, “Of course.”

After Ziyi said so, she walked over and held Zhan’s arm. As they were about to leave, Yibo stood up and quickly walked in front of Zhan.

He held Zhan’s hand and said, “Come home with me.”

“I don’t want to.” Zhan shook off his hand without even looking at Yibo, his expression extremely cold.

A trace of gloominess flashed through Yibo’s pearl-like eyes. He tightened his jaw, and looked like he was suppressing his feelings. He clenched his hands into fists, then loosened them, and then clenched them tightly again…

Finally, he opened his mouth slightly and said softly in a low voice as if he was speaking to a child, “I’ll pick you up in a few days.”

Yibo said it in an unquestionable tone. He was not asking for Zhan’s opinion, but informing him.

“Let’s go.” Zhan ignored him and pulled Ziyi out.

Cheng looked at Yibo and hesitated. “I’ll see them off.”

After saying that, Cheng left the room.

And Yibo was the only one left in the room.

He stood there motionlessly for a long time and then he slowly sat down on the sofa.

He bent his arms. placed his elbows on supported his forehead with one hand and slightly leaned forward, looking very tired.

He even looked a bit fragile.

Cheng’s address was still unknown to the media.

However, he still stood at the entrance of the community for a long time to make sure there wasn’t any reporter before letting Ziyi and Zhan leave.

He wanted to drive them to Ziyi’s place, but Yibo was still at his home. So he could only watch as Ziyi’s car left. He waited at the entrance of the community for a few minutes to make sure that no one followed them before walking back.

However, he bumped into Yibo at the elevator.

Yibo walked out of the elevator with a cold expression. He looked at Cheng and said, “I may need to bother you for the next few days.”

Cheng understood what he was referring to.

Zhan obviously didn’t want to see Yibo now, so he could only ask Cheng to take care of him.

Cheng said half-jokingly, “You have been bothering me all the time. I wouldn’t be used to it when you stop bothering me someday.”

Yibo didn’t reply and walked towards the door.

Cheng hurriedly stopped him, “What exactly happened this time? Is it really because of Haoxuan?”

Yibo paused for a moment, but left without answering Cheng’s questions.

***

After driving out of the community, Yibo called Haoxuan.

Haoxuan immediately answered the phone. As if he was anxious to receive Yibo’s phone call.

“You finally called me?” Haoxuan said slowly and he seemed to be smiling.

Yibo’s voice was ice-cold, “Where shall we meet?”

“My home.”

Yibo hung up the phone and drove directly to Haoxuan’ house.

When Haoxuan came to open the door, Yibo grabbed his shirt and pushed him into the house. Then Yibo closed the door behind him.

“Why did you do that? If you want anything, you can come for me!” Yibo said angrily with an extremely gloomy face.

Haoxuan was grabbed by Yibo, and his shirt collar tightly tied around his neck. His face became red, but his expression was still calm.

It seemed as if Yibo was not grabbing his collar and they were still good buddies.

“Coming for you? It’s useless,” Haoxuan smiled faintly and said with a strange tone, “It wouldn’t bother you at all. Only things related to Zhan can make you so anxious.”

Yibo’s expression became even darker. He threw Haoxuan to the ground. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he still didn’t feel relieved. But he didn’t make another move.

He didn’t show any mercy this time.

Haoxuan was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. His expression changed because of the pain, and he didn’t look calm anymore.

He coughed a few times before saying, “Looks like I made the right bet.”

“Conversation between Grandfather and Yizhou at the tea house that day? Is that why you did all this?”

He didn’t know which word in this sentence stimulated Haoxuan, but Haoxuan’s face instantly turned as pale as a piece of paper.

He pressed his chest and coughed badly. He looked panicked, “What do you know?”

“What are you afraid that I would know?” Yibo approached him step by step, not showing any emotions on his face.

After the two of them confronted each other for a while, Haoxuan suddenly laughed out loudly. He looked almost insane, and completely lost his usual elegance.

“You know nothing about it. You’ll never know what you want to know,” Haoxuan’ tone was firm. After saying that, he turned around and staggered back to his room.

***

Zhan and Ziyi arrived at Ziyi’s home safely.

“What do you want to drink?” Ziyi asked as she handed Zhan the slippers.

Zhan took the slippers and shook his head.

After entering the room, Zhan sat on the sofa motionlessly with a pillow in his arms.

Ziyi poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhan.

Then, she sat down beside Zhan and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Zhan held the glass and curled up on the sofa. He told Ziyi about what happened recently and his speculations.

“It’s unlikely….” Ziyi scratched her hair irritably, “Haoxuan and Boss should be getting along pretty well. How could he do such a thing? There’s no reason for that.”

“True.” Zhan nodded in agreement.

Even an outsider like Ziyi felt that Haoxuan wouldn’t do such a thing, let alone Yibo.

Zhan was different from them from the beginning. Ziyi came from a harmonious family. Yibo had been kidnapped, but he still had his father, grandfather, and other relatives.

However, Zhan was like an outsider in the Xiao’s since childhood. He had no sense of belonging to the Xiao’s. He had no relatives and only one friend, Ziyi. He had to be independent and brave since he was little, which made him develop a very sensitive personality.

He trusted his own judgment.

Also, Yibo did not deny it. So it must be Haoxuan who did it.

Seeing that Zhan was a bit upset, Ziyi hugged him and said, “I didn’t mean that. Zhan, don’t be sad…..”

“I’m just a little tired.” Zhan tried to smile but realized that he couldn’t.

He couldn’t even put on a fake smile.

When Ziyi heard this, she said, “Then go and rest first.”

“Yes.” Zhan got up and entered the room.

When he closed the door, he saw Ziyi looking down at her phone, her brows furrowed tightly.

Ziyi was probably reading the comments on the Internet.

Closing the door, he was the only one in the room.

Zhan leaned against the door and slid to the ground. His tears rolled down his cheeks.

He wasn’t really sad, but just felt very tired.

Ever since he was a little kid, he envied those who had parents and relatives. After entering the Beijing Film Academy, he began to make money by writing film scripts to support himself. He began to be less envious of others.

It was not that hard to live alone.

Later on, he married into the Wang’s and was teased by Yibo as “Yijun” for so long.

Although he was angry, he forgave him because of his kindness towards him.

He was longing for warmth and love.

Because he had never felt it before, once someone offered to get close to him, he couldn’t help but accept him and devote himself wholeheartedly to the relationship.

When it came to love, people became greedy.

However, in Yibo’s heart, I am not the most important.

Not the most important.

He used me to test Haoxuan.

In his mind, I could be used to take risks.
