Chapter 382: A Dull Pain in the Corner of His Heart

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Last time, they were quarreling over Jing Xi and their friendship had reached the point of breaking. How did they become friends again today?

Huo Yunshen was resting with his eyes closed. Upon hearing Ye Xun’s voice, his eyes shot open and looked over at him sharply. He asked warily, “What are you doing here?”

“You’re hospitalized. Of course I’m here to visit you. What else would I be here for?” Ye Xun said matter-of-factly and with the tone of a good friend.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have reconciled, Chen Yunlu too behaved accordingly in an amiable manner. “Mr. Ye, since you’re here, you can keep Yunshen company and chat with him. I’ll go for a walk outside.”

“Okay. Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll stay with him here,” Ye Xun smiled as if he was harmless.

After his mother left, Huo Yunshen inquired, “Mr. Ye, Jing Xi... Is she okay?”

The sunny smile on Ye Xun’s face faded away and he sneered icily, “Still concerned about my wife? Let me tell you. She’s the one who asked me to come.”

“She...” Huo Yunshen wanted to know if Xu Xiyan had anything to say to him.

“She’s fine. However,” Ye Xun came closer to the bed and suddenly grabbed Huo Yunshen’s collar. He gritted his teeth as he spoke, “I warn you, you better not have any more fantasies about her. The two of you are impossible.”

Ye Xun had a sudden change of attitude. Huo Yunshen finally understood. How could he be kind and come to visit him?

“As long as she is single, I still have the opportunity to pursue her,” Huo Yunshen said calmly, acting neither too humble or arrogant.

“You? Pursue her?”

Ye Xun released him roughly, looking him up and down with a disgusted look. “What qualifications do you have to pursue her? Just look at yourself. You’re crippled from the waist down and bounded to your wheelchair for the rest of your life. Such a useless cripple like you...if you didn’t have a wealthy family backing you, you would already be begging in the streets! So do you still want to compete with me? You’re no match for me at all! I could squash you with a finger right now!” Ye Xun held out an index finger as he threatened him hatefully.

“Even if you squash me right now, Jing Xi will still not love you.”

Huo Yunshen’s eyes were expressionless but he was calm and determined, showing not the slightest fear as he faced his boisterous rival.

Disabled. Useless cripple. Those words never failed to prod at his weak spot, causing a dull pain to throb at the corner of his heart.

However, he did not become agitated or eager to counterattack, because he could feel that Xu Xiyan’s heart was always for him. Whenever they were together, her eyes would never deceive him.

As long he still had the chance to stand up again, he would not give Xu Xiyan up.

Huo Yunshen’s words had completely enraged Ye Xun. Ye Xun was going berserk as he spoke, “How could she not love me? We were loving each other to death and yet where were you? If you don’t believe me, I’ll let you hear something.”

Ye Xun switched on a recording pen and played the recording inside. Xu Xiyan’s voice came out of the recorder. He could even tell that she was smiling when she spoke.

However, her words broke his heart. She said: [Hello officers, could you let me in? I’m Mr. Ye’s girlfriend.]

Ye Xun replayed the recording several times so Huo Yunshen could listen to it clearly. “Hear that? That’s what she said, herself, when she came into the hospital just now. I’m her true boyfriend. And you? You’re at best a spare wheel, okay?”

Huo Yunshen was dumbstruck after listening to the recordings. All his self-confidence was crushed in an instant.

“I’m Mr. Ye’s girlfriend.” Those words were like a demonic whisper, echoing back and forth in his mind. It was more terrifying than a nightmare.

Ye Xun narrowed his eyes at him. He knew that the recording had worked. He quickly added more fuel to the fire while he could. “Mr. Huo, there is an old saying in Zstan that goes ‘a gentleman does not rob other people of their love,’ and I believe that you’re a gentleman. I hope that after returning to Zstan, you will not bother my girlfriend again.”

“...” Huo Yunshen was stunned. His heart was brimming with bitterness.

Give up Xu Xiyan? It’s easier said than done.

After saying what had to be said, Ye Xun took the thermos flask and left. He stopped as he was opening the door and added, “Oh, right. We’re getting married soon. If you don’t mind, please do come for our banquet.”

Ye Xun left haughtily and the door shut with a thump.

Huo Yunshen lay in his bed and stared distantly at the ceiling, feeling very depressed.

He heard the sound of the door opening again and Chen Yunlu entered the room. She tucked Huo Yunshen into bed and said, “I overheard your conversation just now. Son, please listen to your mother. Just let her go! That Jing Xi and Ye Xun are a couple. It’s irrational to force your foot into other people’s affairs.”

Huo Yunshen was still silent. Chen Yunlu continued, “Your conditions are not bad as a man and there are still other fish in the sea. I don’t think Jing Xi is even that good looking and she doesn’t even stand out in the crowd. Compared to her, I think the girl from the Xue family is better! Before I came to see you with your father, we went to the hospital to see her. The girl did not act like a noble lady at all. In fact, she treated us warmly and politely. God knows how many times better she is than Jing Xi. After you’ve returned and recovered from your injuries, Mom will help you to ask her out and both of you should have a good conversation together. Who knows? After getting to know her better, you may think that she’s a very good person! Moreover, you like music and she can play the violin. Both of you have a common interest and there is no other who’s a better fit for you.”

Huo Yunshen gave a long sigh. “Mom, that’s enough.”

He was in a bad mood and didn’t want to listen to anything. Even if Xue Yating was a thousand or a million times better...she had nothing to do with him, not even one bit. He would never let Xu Xiyan go from his heart.

He really wanted to know what Xu Xiyan was thinking. Had she specifically asked Ye Xun to visit him, just to tell him that she was going to get married?

“Fine, fine, fine, I won’t say any more. You should sleep for a while. I’ve already told your father to get things ready. We will be flying back home tomorrow. Let’s not stay in this place any longer.”

Chen Yunlu felt that Estan was too unsafe. The earlier they went back home, the sooner they could feel at ease. The most important thing was that she mustn’t let her son meet up with Xu Xiyan again.

Outside, in the hospital corridor, Xu Xiyan had hidden herself behind the nurse station so Chen Yunlu would not see her. After the woman left, she peeked out from the station.

Ye Xun came by with the thermos flask in his hand. Xu Xiyan went up to him and asked, “How is he, second senior? Is he any better? Did he eat the porridge I made for him?”

Ye Xun continued walking and tossed the thermos flask over to Xu Xiyan and said, “He’s fine. He has eaten your porridge and said that it tasted good.”

He wouldn’t let her know that he hadn’t taken out the porridge at all. After he had gotten out of the ward, he had immediately emptied the thermos flask of the porridge.

“Really? That’s great! I’ll make some more nutritious porridge that is good for the stomach tomorrow.”

A smile appeared on Xu Xiyan’s face. She was greatly relieved and was already thinking about making more food for Huo Yunshen tomorrow.

“Hmph...” Ye Xun smirked. Nobody would’ve been able to tell whether it was approval or irony.
