DBSNTM-ch-83.3

Zhan stayed in the hotel for two days. He had nothing else to do except eating and sleeping all day, so he was very idle.

 

Thus, when he was free, he would go out for a walk.

 

He just wandered around aimlessly without buying or doing anything.

 

However, his real goal was to confirm whether Yibo really had someone by his side.

 

He didn’t notice it before, but it was because he hadn’t thought about it.

 

In the past two days, he had been paying attention to it and really noticed for a few times that someone was following him.

 

They were very professional bodyguards. If Zhan hadn’t been vigilant and deliberately searching for them, he wouldn’t have noticed them at all.

 

This forced Zhan to start planning to leave Sydney.

 

However, before he could come up with a suitable plan, a person who appeared suddenly disrupted all his plans.

 

The next morning, he got up, washed up, and was ready to go out just like the previous days.

 

When he opened the door and saw a black suitcase at the door, he was stunned for a moment.

 

Before he could react, a familiar voice sounded.

 

“Zhan!”

 

Hearing this, Zhan raised his head and saw Yijun standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

 

Seeing Zhan kept silence for a long time, Yijun curled his lips in dissatisfaction. “Zhan, it’s only been a while since we last met. You don’t recognize me!”

 

“Yijun? Why are you here?” Zhan greeted him in shock.

 

“I’m here to see you,” Yijun looked at him with a smile, lowered his head to Zhan ear, and said mysteriously. “I’m telling you in secret, I actually ran away from home again.”

 

Zhan raised his eyes and said slightly, “Do you think I believe you?”

 

Yijun chuckled, “Will you take me in?”

 

Although Zhan did not believe Yijun’ words, it was impossible for him not to take him in.

 

He booked another room for Yijun and took him out for breakfast.

 

Yijun grew up abroad, who was handsome and spoke fluent English. When the two of them were eating, there were bold girls coming over to ask him for his phone number.

 

The Wangs, from Yibo to Yijun, were especially attractive to the females.

 

Yijun refused the girls who came to chat up like a pro.

 

Zhan laughed, no longer cared about him and only lowered his head to eat the food in front of him.

 

After a few minutes, Yijun, sitting opposite him, suddenly called out, “Zhan.”

 

“What’s up?”

 

Zhan raised his head and saw Yijun focusing the camera of his phone on him.

 

Zhan frowned. “What are you doing?”

 

“Just take a picture.” As Yijun spoke, he lowered his head and clicked a few times on his phone before putting it down.

 

Zhan was stunned for a moment and did not say anything.

 

Halfway through the meal, Yijun got up and went to the bathroom. Zhan took his phone over.

 

He opened Yijun’ WeChat. In the Wechat message box, the chat message bar at the top showed Yibo.

 

Zhan hesitated for a moment before he reached out and opened the chat window with Yibo.

 

The most recent message was sent a few minutes ago, and it was a small video.

 

Zhan played the video and heard the familiar conversation.

 

“Zhan.”

 

“What’s up?”

 

It was secretly taken by Yijun just now.

 

He scrolled up and saw the chat record between Yibo and Yijun.

 

Most of the messages were sent by Yijun.

 

“Will Zhan take me in?”

 

“He won’t directly ignore me, right?”

 

“Maybe I’d better not go. You can go yourself.”

 

“I’ve already arrived in Sydney. I’ll take a bus to the hotel where Zhan stays.”

 

On the other hand, Yibo had very few replies and occasionally replied with the word “ok”.

 

Zhan glanced in the direction of the bathroom and put his phone back.

 

Even without looking at Yijun’ phone, Zhan could vaguely guess that Yijun came to see him because Yibo had asked him to.

 

However, Zhan had never thought Yibo would use such a roundabout method to see him.

 

Yibo knew that he was in Sydney and had found him, but he only sent people to monitor him instead of disturbing him.

 

Just when he was trying his best to escape again, Yijun came.

 

Yibo had asked Yijun to come to see him.

 

Was this simply telling him that it was useless to run away?

 

Zhan and Yijun had a good relationship, so Yibo was certain without doubt that Zhan would not leave Yijun alone.

 

Yibo no longer sent bodyguards to secretly monitor him now.

 

Instead, he directly sent Yijun to guard him openly.

 

If Zhan hadn’t been the one who was guarded and couldn’t escape, he would have clapped his hands and praised Yibo.

 

When Yijun came back, he saw that Zhan didn’t look very well. He asked with concern, “Zhan, are you ok? Are you feeling unwell?

 

Zhan lowered his eyes slightly. “No, let’s go back if you’re full.”

 

After returning to the hotel, Zhan called Ziyi.

 

Ziyi answered the phone very quickly. “Zhan?”

 

Zhan recognized the fatigue in her voice and asked, “Are you still busy these days?”

 

“Yes, I’m so busy, I think it must be that bastard Cheng who intentionally arranged so much work for me. He wants to kill me…” Every time Ziyi talked to him about Cheng, she could not stop scolding him.

 

Zhan laughed out loud. “He’s doing it for your own good. He wants to make you famous.”

 

Ziyi did not want to continue this topic. She asked, “How are you doing? I asked my friend to help me check a few hospitals in Sydney. When your due date is almost up, you can live in directly…”

 

Although Ziyi was busy, she still tried her best to help Zhan.

 

Zhan was slightly touched.

 

After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to tell Ziyi about Yibo sending people to monitor him.

 

After Ziyi heard this, she cursed, “Is Yibo a pervert? What exactly does he want? I think it’s normal if he sends someone to catch you back. But what’s the point of sending someone to spy on you over there??”

 

Zhan blurted his guess, “I think he wants the child.”

 

Unexpectedly, Ziyi disagreed immediately. “Impossible. If Yibo only wants to have a child, would he beat his brain and do so much? Many women want to give him a child! I figure, he hasn’t given up yet…”

 

Hearing this, Zhan was silent.

 

After a while, Zhan continued, “Ziyi, the most important thing to me now is the child. What Yibo has done makes me very worried.”

 

He didn’t want to and had no time to think about whether Yibo had given up or not.

 

“Why don’t you run away like before?”!!!

 

After saying that, Ziyi retorted herself, “You’re about to give birth, where can you go…”

 

Zhan listened to Ziyi’s words, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

 

Everything seemed to have returned to its original state, At first, when he thought that he had successfully escaped, Yibo stopped looking for him.

 

Later, when he thought that he could give birth to this child peacefully, he discovered that he was surrounded by Yibo’s people.

 

He could not understand what Yibo was thinking, much less what Yibo was going to do.

 

After getting off the phone with Ziyi, Zhan still felt uneasy.

 

He went out to look for Yijun.

 

“Zhan?” When Yijun opened the door and saw Zhan, he hurriedly moved aside and let him in.

 

Zhan walked in and sat down on the sofa directly.

 

Yijun closed the door and walked in. “Do you want some water?”

 

Zhan looked up at him and said with a serious tone, “Call Yibo.”

 

“What?” Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then he began to play dumb. “What are you talking about… My cousin doesn’t know I’m in Sydney, he…”

 

Although he was indeed instructed by Yibo to come to Sydney, before coming here, Yibo repeatedly warned him not to let Zhan know that it was him who had sent him over.

 

As a result, he let the cat out of the bag on his first day?

 

Although Yijun was crafty and clever, he was just a child in Zhan’s eyes after all.

 

Zhan directly ignored Yijun words and said in an irrefutable tone, “Call him. I have something to tell him.”

 

This tone was actually somewhat similar to Yibo’s.

 

Yijun could only take out his phone and call Yibo.

 

After dialing, he turned on the speaker and placed the phone in front of Zhan.

 

Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the phone.

 

The screen of the phone showed that it was dialing a number which was still familiar to him.

 

His hands hanging by his side involuntarily clenched tightly, and his heart beat abnormally for an instant.

 

At this time, the phone was connected.

 

A familiar voice came out of the phone. “What’s up?”

 

Yibo’s voice was low and deep, but when it came out of the phone, it became even colder.

 

Zhan opened his mouth slightly but suddenly did not know what he was going to say.

 

This was the first time he had heard Yibo’s voice since he left Beijing City nearly half a year ago.

 

Yijun saw Zhan kept silent for a long time and wanted to remind him, but only reached out and nudged him without saying a word when he saw how absent-minded Zhan was.

 

Only then did Zhan regain his senses.

 

He pursed his lips and was about to speak when he heard Yibo’s voice again.

 

“Zhan.” His tone was calm and firm.

 

Before Zhan could say anything, Yijun, who was next to him, became excited instead. “Cousin, are you omniscient? How did you know that it was Zhan calling you?”

 

Yibo was silent on the other end of the phone.

 

Yijun rubbed his nose and said sensibly. “You guys talk, I’ll go back to my room and sleep.”

 

The room Zhan had booked for him was a small suite, which was relatively spacious. There was a living room, a bedroom, and a dining room.

 

As Yijun walked into the room, he pricked up his ears and listened to what the two of them were saying, but he did not hear anything.

 

As soon as he left, the living room became even quieter.

 

Zhan did not say anything, so Yibo remained silent, as if he was waiting for him to speak.

 

After a while, Zhan finally found his voice and said, “What exactly do you want to do?”

 

Yibo did not directly respond to Zhan questioning. Instead, he asked back, “Don’t you know what I want to do?”

 

“I don’t know!” Zhan’s voice was a little sharp. “I never knew.”

 

Yes, he had never been able to guess what Yibo wanted to do.

 

Zhan could not fathom his thoughts.

 

Yibo’s tone was so calm that there was not a trace of fluctuation. “Then just rest assured for fetal stabilization.”

 

Zhan sneered, “Then what? You want to rob the child?”

 

Finally Yibo got slightly disgruntled. “It was our child.”

 

“Yibo, let me tell you, don’t even think about bringing the child back to the Wang family!”

 

Zhan understood that if Yibo really wanted to snatch the child from him, he would not be able to win him.

 

However, he could not just watch Yibo bring his child back to the Wang family.

 

The Wangs were all ruthless and greedy.

 

The Wangs definitely had something to do with both what had happened to Mr. Qiren and Yibo’s mother.

 

Suddenly, Yibo said in a deep voice, “Zhan, do you trust me?”

 

Zhan was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Yibo would suddenly ask such a question.

 

Trust him?

 

However, Yibo did not seem to really want Zhan’s answer. He just continued talking, “Take care of yourself. I will take care of everything and bring you back, both of you.”

 

His tone was no different from the way he cared about him before, which gave Zhan the illusion that the two of them were not separated.

 

When he was stunned, Yibo had already hung up the phone.

 

Zhan looked at the darkened screen. He was somewhat confused about the situation.

 

Yibo said he would take care of everything and bring the two of them back.

 

The two of them? Did he mean the baby and me?

 

***

 

Yibo hung up the phone and stared blankly at his phone.

 

The assistant brought the coffee in. Seeing Yibo like this, he whispered, “Boss, your coffee.”

 

As expected, Yibo ignored him.

 

The assistant sighed slightly and was about to leave when he heard Yibo’s voice from behind him, “Book me a ticket to Sydney.”

 

“Sydney?” 

 

Just as the assistant was puzzled, he heard Yibo say again, “Forget it.”

 

The assistant had no choice but to close the door and go out.

 

However, when he was closing the door, he could vaguely hear Yibo’s laughter.

 

It must be his illusion. He had never seen the boss smile since he joined the company a long time ago.

 

Yibo opened his photo album, which was filled with photos of Zhan.

 

With a gentle expression, he looked at the photos one by one.

 

His finger gently slid across Zhan’s face on the photos, and a slight determination appeared between his eyebrows.

 

‘I’ll see you soon.’
