LS – 11.

“Don’t!” Yibo hurriedly grabbed hold of Zhan and finally spoke, “Zhan, please, don’t open it…”

Yibo knew the moment he spoke, Seungyoun must have heard him from the other side of the door.

Yibo closed his eyes hopelessly and finally gave up on resisting.

Zhan held Yibo’s chin and lifted his head.

“Continue, Yibo,” He said, “Continue to moan…”

Yibo felt his whole body trembling but he couldn’t make a sound.

“If you don’t, I’ll open the door right now…” Zhan added.

“No!” Yibo pressed on the door hurriedly. “I’ll do it…”

Under extreme shamefulness, he moaned with a pale face. In that moment, he gave up all his pride to Zhan.

And watched him trampled on it ruthlessly.

On the other side of the door, Yibo heard Seungyoun had left.

Hearing him leaving, Yibo finally let go of all his tension and fell into Zhan’s arms.

When this ordeal was finally over, Yibo had no strength left in him and could only lie on the floor. He didn’t even have the strength to move his fingers.

Zhan put his clothes back on, squatted down and stroked Yibo’s cheek. His action was gentle but his voice was menacingly cold.

“I told you, Yibo, I’ll make both Seungyoun and you lose everything you have. It won’t be long until that happen…”

Then he got up and left the room.

Seeing him left, Yibo used all the strength left in him to get up and close the door shut.

After half an hour resting in the lounge, he finally had the strength to get up and walk out the lounge.

“Yibo…” Seungyoun was waiting right outside the doorway.

Yibo’s face immediately turned pale and he couldn’t move a muscle anymore.

Seungyoun walked over with long strides and put his coat on Yibo.

“I only entered after Zhan left…” Seungyoun explained, “Don’t worry, I don’t know anything else…”

This ambiguous explanation made Yibo feel both warm and awkward.

“Let me take you home.” Seungyoun put an end to the topic and helped Yibo walk out the building.

Zhan’s car was parked by the roadside at the building’s doorway.

Seeing how Seungyoun took care of Yibo, Zhan’s hands on the steering wheel tightened. His eyes were storming with abyss darkness.

“Zhan, are we leaving yet?” Lusi said softly while looking at the direction where Zhan was gazing, “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing.” Zhan retrieved his gaze from the building expressionlessly.

But in that moment, Lusi saw Yibo, the person in Seungyoun’s embrace.

Lusi ordered her people to look into Zhan’s background since they got engaged, so she was familiar with this person named Yibo.

However, Lusi didn’t see him as a threat at all.

Because Yibo was just a man who was inferior to her in terms of both money and looks, so she had nothing to worry about.

Zhan might be having a crush on Yibo for the time being, but to Lusi, Yibo was just a scum she wouldn’t even care to bother.

“Let’s go shopping, I want to pick our wedding rings…” Lusi said softly, her smile became sweeter when Zhan shifted his gaze on her. “Okay?”

Zhan glanced at her and said blandly, “Sure.”

He then started the car and left without giving that whore another gaze.

And that was that.

Wang Yibo was just a despicable person who approached guys for their money. He wasn’t worth it for him to keep thinking about him.

After they went back to the mansion, Yibo soon had a high fever and then admitted to the hospital.

His illness fluctuated for three days before it finally subsided.

His high fever subsided into a regular fever.

But his body check up results were not as quite promising.

“Your blood test shows you have extremely low levels blood platelets and white blood cells, which means you have extremely weak immune system and blood clotting ability. We have never encountered any case like yours before, so we advise you to take a thorough body check-up abroad. Also, from now on you have to be careful not to fall sick or get any physical injuries… because even the slightest illness or injury can put your life in danger.”

Shortly after the doctor left the room, Seungyoun immediately said, “Yibo, come abroad with me; which country do you like? We’ll go visit there and you can get treatment.”

Yibo shook his head and withdrew his hand from Seungyoun’s clasp.

“I don’t want to go abroad with you; don’t worry about me. I want to return to the countryside…”

He could still vividly remember Zhan’s warning, and he didn’t want to burden Seungyoun.

“In your current condition, how would you even get back to the countryside? If you can’t get treatment in time, you might end up dead!” Seungyoun nervously said.

Yibo lowered his eyes, but his pale white face looked indifferent, “So what… Seungyoun, whether I live or die has nothing to do with you. I don’t like you, leave me alone.”

Seungyoun continued to hold Yibo’s hand and said, “I know you don’t like me, but it’s enough that I like you. If you don’t want to go abroad, then we won’t go, I’ll bring a doctor from abroad back to treat you…

“No need!” Yibo raised his voice, and hid expression soured, “I told you, Seungyoun, leave me alone! Have you no shame? Why do you continue to harass me?”

He didn’t want to get the innocent Seungyoun involved.

Zhan was a devious man. If he wanted to raise a hand against Seungyoun, then Seungyoun and his entire company would suffer.

Zhan doesn’t spare mercy at all!

“Yibo, you must be tired; get some rest first.” Seungyoun withdrew his hand with sorrow, then he stood up and said, “You rest first, I’ll come visit you again later.”

After he finished speaking, Seungyoun left the hospital room.

Yibo watched his back as he left, a bitter feeling lingered in his heart.

He was going to die soon, so he mustn’t have feelings for him….

Right now, he didn’t want to burden anyone.

Even now, Seungyoun took care of him as he always did; when Yibo’s fever left, he brought Yibo back to his mansion to personally take better care of him. But the more he behaved like this, the more Yibo must be determined to leave.

Once Yibo had recovered enough to walk, he would quietly pack his bags and escape into the night.

Deep in the night, the mansion was dead silent.

Yibo packed the few belongings he had and quietly left the room.

“I’m aware that the company has huge troubles right now…. Just sell it off.” It was Seungyoun’s voice, filled with tones of exhaustion and helplessness. “We can’t beat Xiao Zhan, might as well cut losses now before we go bankrupt. I want to take Yibo abroad… I’m still young and I’m not afraid, I can always start over abroad, it’s nothing much.”

Yibo froze in place when he heard what Seungyoun said.

It’s only been a few days; was Seungyoun’s company already in such trouble that it must be sold off?

It appeared that I already brought trouble to Seungyoun.

Would there still be time to save the company if I left now?

“That’s all for now…” Seungyoun hung up the phone.

Yibo couldn’t bear to hear more; he quickly ran down the stairs and snuck out of the mansion.

He can’t stay with Seungyoun, or he would only cause him grief.

Thinking about all the trouble he’s caused him during this period of time, Yibo felt more and more guilty.

Was it too late if I went to beg Zhan for mercy now?

Thinking about his body getting weaker and weaker, Yibo grit his teeth and headed in the direction of Zhan’s mansion.

Since he was going to die, he couldn’t bring Seungyoun down with him and ruin his life.

If it came down to it, he would just have to endure Zhan’s torture; he could take it….

No matter, it would be the last time he would see Zhan.

After this meeting, he would go and find a peaceful, quiet place to stay, passing away alone.
