Ch2 - Drama

Translator note- keeping all the reviews in mind I have tried to make sentences more coherent as possible.

If you guys are still unable to understand let me know I will try to paraphrase it differently. 

………..

Seemingly aware of Xia Wan’s anxiety. Huo Yu lowered his eyes slightly. He gave Xia Wan a vague but meaningful look and then glanced in the direction where Huo Lin was. 

“You’re engaged, Of course, I have to come back.” Huo Yu said. His voice was calm and composed like he did not do anything wrong. Nor did he take Huo Lin’s threat seriously.

“As for the uncle, I will naturally visit the old man’s house after everything is cleaned up.”

Huo Lin nodded his head. He did not say anything afterward. But his eyes kept wandering between Huo Yu and Xia Wan.

Huo Lin was troubled by their relationship more than he was showing. One after another new questions keep coming to his mind.

Over the years, Huo Yu had been living abroad, how could Xia Wan know him? How was it possible for the two to meet? How did they meet?

Also, Huo Yu hugged Xia Wan so tightly just now. But Xia Wan didn’t even resist the bit nor utter anything. It was as if he was used to being hugged. So, when did they meet?

As each question kept popping up one after the other, like bubbles, he felt the rage of being fooled around and betrayal.

When Xia Wan was usually with him, Xia Wan was so scared to hold his hand, So how could he let this betrayal go? Huo Lin couldn’t help but sneer. He doesn’t know where to vent his anger. 

He looked at Xia Wan giving him his icy glare for a long time, and finally, he set his eyes on Huo Yu: “My dad would be very happy to know that you are back. After all, it is you whom he loves the most.”

Huo Yu was unmoved by the words. He let out a laugh like what Huo Lin said now was a funny joke: “That’s why I have to repay the old man.”

Good, Just keep chattering. Very good! Xia Wen thought.

Xia Wan quietly took a step back to let the brothers have a heartfelt conversation so that this young master would be able to withdraw! Just as he just took a step back when someone grabbed his wrist. 

Under the cover of the large windbreaker, Xia Wan struggled a few times, but the opponent’s hand was as stagnant as an iron pillar.

“By the way,” Huo Yu shook Xia Wan’s hand in the air as if nothing had happened and said to Huo Lin with a smile

“Re-introducing, this is your sister-in-law, Xia Wan.”

Xia Wan:!? 

Xia Wan thought of letting the two brothers fight among them, but now the ball was thrown at his head. This revengeful attitude. Huo Yu was worthy of being a villain.

Xia Wan smiled stiffly, and mumbled to Huo Yu: ” Thank you very much.“

There was a sudden silence in the hall, so silent that a needle drop could be heard.

A normal engagement banquet was twisted into a large-scale family ethics theater in a moment, and the onlookers were even more excited by this extremely bloody plot trend. 

Their eyes were practically glowing, and all of them looked like wolves smelling meat.

Yet among the mist, there was one person who was not happy with this.

Huo Lin’s blood surged, and the jealousy and anger he had been holding back almost reached their peak at the same time.

Who can accept that the little beauty who was wholeheartedly devoted to him just a moment ago suddenly became his sister-in-law? Not to forget he didn’t even have a chance to taste this little beauty. 

To be honest, Xia Wan’s beauty matches Huo Lin’s aesthetic sense.

He even thought that only Xia Wan’s family background could be changed with Qiu Qi, even if Xia Wan was boring and cowardly. The person to whom he would have gotten engaged would have been Xia Wan.

But that was not possible. As long as that face was there, Huo Lin would have tied Xia Wan by his side.

Therefore, even though Huo and  Qiu’s marriage was crucial for the cooperation between the two parties. Huo Lin still preferred to hide his engagement from Xia Wan. So that he would be able to keep Xia Wan as his mistress. 

But now? In a blink of an eye, Xia Wan became his sister-in-law, and Xia Wan blamed him for cheating.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

But if the account was calculated, he doesn’t know who wore the green cap to whom.

Xia Wan doesn’t matter now, but what about him? Was he bound to become the biggest joke in this circle? The more Huo Lin thought about it, the bigger his turmoil became.

“Xia Wan!” He called in a deep voice, the veins on his forehead protruding.

Xia Wan tilted his head to look at Huo Lin, his eyes were harsh, and then suddenly he hid in Huo Yu’s arms like a frightened deer.

It was obvious that Xia Wan was showing his sharp edge just now. The act was too exaggerated. He was so obvious. 

Knowing that Huo Yu still hugged him into his arms and rubbed the back of Xia Wan’s black head soothingly, as if he loved him to the peak.

When Huo Yu looked up at Huo Lin. His eyes were not so soft or warm.

“Call him sister-in-law.” Although Huo Yu’s voice was still very light, there was a hint of oppression.

“You are now an engaged person, why are you still behaving like a small kid?” 

“Also,”  Huo Yu paused. After a while, he continued, “You and Qiu Qi should apologize to your sister-in-law for what happened today.”

“Humph!”  Qiu Qi tilted his head in anger, while Huo Lin rolled his Adam’s apple and almost couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood to spit it out.

Neither of them made any sound, but Shen Yan, who had been standing around watching the excitement in revealing laughed.

What shit, what sister-in-law? Xia Wan has been by Huo Lin’s side since he appeared in this circle last month. 

The child was good-looking. In just one month, Huo Lin took him to several banquets, and Shen Yan met twice.

Moreover, on the way back from the airport, he never heard Huo Yu mention a word about “sister-in-law”. But this slap hit Huo Lin in the face, it was really loud.

As a friend, how could he not step forward to add fire and raise his goodwill?

“Hello, sister-in-law.” Shen Yan coughed. He walked up to Xia Wan first and addressed him respectfully. 

“Today is a good day, the Huo family welcomes two daughters-in-law, and  Uncle Huo would be very happy to know. ”

When Shen Yan called Xia Wan, the sister-in-law. Other people who were watching the fun also stepped forward to say hello, as if the people who laughed and coaxed before were not them, the whole hall was full of “sister-in-law” for a while.

Listening to this Xia Wan’s brain started to hurt.

It was a cold spring night. Even if the air conditioner was turned off, the soaked shirt still makes Xia Wan shiver. 

Huo Yu held his wrist. He lowered his eyes, and asked, “Go upstairs to the open room and change your clothes.”

With the sound of “sister-in-law”, Xia Wan didn’t hear anything else, but only heard the word “open room”.

Huo Yu was the villain! Even though Xia Wan had been sick for a long time before he came in, he almost yearned for a healthy body and a normal life. But that doesn’t mean he was so eager and enthusiastic that he would open a room with the villain without knowing anything, right? He needs to get away from this guy. Fast.

“I want to go home.” Xia Wan whispered. In the end, Huo Lin and Qiu Qi didn’t apologize to him, but he doesn’t care. He had already returned the favor of drinks and humiliation, and on top, Huo Yu’s arrival made Qiu Qi and Huo Lin’s engagement banquet a joke. 

What better revenge than this? And for Xia Wan, there are more important things to do at the moment. Such as staying away from garbage people, going back to take a hot bath, and changing into clean clothes. Although he still doesn’t know whether it was a disaster for him to transmigrate into a book.

Or whether, It is a blessing, but at least, at this moment, he has the healthy body he wished for before. This time, Xia Wan wants to live a healthy and happy life.

Xia Wan never wants to get sick again, take medicine, get injections and lie on the hospital bed endlessly, worrying about his parents and relatives. The most important thing was that he needs to sort out the muddy memory in his mind as soon as possible.

“Okay.” Huo Yu nodded, his voice very soft. He stretched out his hand and took Xia Wan into his arms, and said to Huo Lin: “I’ll take your sister-in-law home to change his clothes first.” 

Huo Yu was more than half a head taller than Xia Wan, and both of them were born very beautiful. They both look like a perfect match, anyone who sees them would believe they were made for each other.

But the more Huo Lin behaved like this, the more annoyed Huo Lin became, especially the word “change clothes”. More Huo Lin imagined changing clothes. More his eyes were glued to Xia Wan’s body like a cold knife as if as long as he dared to leave with Huo Yu, he would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

That would have worked to bully the original owner who was without a family background. Xia Wan hooked his lips. His smile was more cold and contemptuous, and then he half-cuddled in Huo Yu’s arms and walked towards the door.

The cold gaze behind Xia Wan and the body temperature with a faint woody fragrance invaded together. Xia Wan couldn’t help but lean into Huo Yu’s arms. Anyway, he had already offended Huo Lin and Qiu Qi, and he didn’t mind offending each other again. 

There seemed to be a low laugh coming from the top of Xia Wan’s head, and the arms on his shoulders also tightened as if they were cooperating.

The corners of Huo Yu’s lips were slightly hooked, his eyes drooping, he saw the dark and damp hair of the Xia Wan, clinging to the snow-white forehead. No matter how he looked at Xia Wan, the child had a harmless aura to humans and animals, but unexpectedly, not in an irritating way.

Sure enough, before they could take two steps further, Huo Lin’s sad voice came from behind:

“Brother.” 

Huo Yu clasped his lips and turned slightly to the side, while Xia Wan leaned lazily in his arms without even raising his eyelids.

In the book, Huo Lin and Qiu Qi were the protagonists, so most of the things told were from their perspectives.

The author did not explain the life experience of the little cannon fodder Xia Wan and his entanglement with Huo Lin, let alone why he came to this engagement banquet.

In the eyes of all readers, Xia Wan was just a clown who came to make a scene, to set off the protagonist. Xia Wan’s job was to act as a tool man who was good to compare. 

But Xia Wan, who happened to be transmigrated at this moment. He could deduce that the original owner, from the fragmented and chaotic memory, that Huo Lin had always been dating Xia Wan in the name of love.

To the original owner, Huo Lin was his beloved. If it wasn’t for Qiu Qi’s phone call, he might not have known that his “beloved” was engaged to someone else.

At that time, the original owner didn’t have time to think about anything, not even time to grab a coat. He just wanted to get to the scene as soon as possible and to ask for the truth and an explanation.

What the original owner didn’t expect was to be humiliated by Qiu Qi and his friends as soon as he arrived. 

And Huo Lin, his “beloved”, was indifferent to all of this.

It’s just disgusting!

“Brother,” Huo Lin’s lower voice said, “you and Xia Wan should separate.”

“Why?” Huo Yu asked, his voice as indifferent as always. 

“Because of ..” Huo Lin paused, after tonight, even if he didn’t say it, everyone present already knew that he had a relationship with Xia Wan.

Huo Lin gritted his teeth and complete what he was initially about to say, “because he had been with me before.”

Huo Lin thought that Huo Yu’s face would be furious when he said these words, but Huo Yu still looked at him indifferently: “But you are already engaged to someone else.”

Huo Yu said these words: The meaning was noticeable. Since Huo Lin has signed a marriage contract with someone else, Huo Lin has nothing to do with Xia Wan and no longer has any qualifications to interfere in Xia Wan’s life. 

Who Xia Wan wants to be with or who Xia Wan wants to spend his time with. It has nothing to do with him.

Huo Lin choked, and after a while, he couldn’t help but raise his voice: “Just for such a person who has no wealth, no status, are you not afraid about what are outsiders gonna say? They would say that we brothers are against the wall, and let our Huo family lose face?”

Huo Yu stopped. After a moment, he smiled softly. “Brothers fighting against the wall?”  with a hint of humor.

“Isn’t that the tradition of our Huo family?” 

Visible to the naked eye, Huo Lin’s expression changed.

Huo Yu didn’t speak anymore and walked towards the door with Xia Wan in his arms.

Shen Yan said goodbye to everyone: “Huo Shao has come directly from the airport, I’ll send them off.” As soon as he said this, some people in the hall said goodbye.

The smile became a little more meaningful. The closer you get to the door, the dimmer the light was than the dance floor. 

It wasn’t until he turned away from the entrance. Xia Wan noticed a tall and thin figure standing by the door as if hesitating whether to come in.

Different from the dim light in the hall, the corridor was almost dazzling.

Under the backlight, Xia Wen can only see the outline of the other party’s very vague facial features, but Shen Yan identifies the person at a glance:

“It is such a rare occasion, big star Sun, Why are you so free today?” 

“There was an event nearby.” the other party said in a low voice.

“I happened to see something here in the group, so I came over to have a look.” He turned his attention to Xia Wan as he spoke slightly.

He was scrutinizing the other party, but his tone was very gentle: “Xia Wan, right? Hello.”

Xia Wan was not sure if he had seen each other before, so he nodded obediently: “Hello.” 

The other party spoke again: ” I Would like to have a word with Huo Yu? So can I?”

Xia Wan: …

Huo Yu was a big man, you can ask him if he wants to talk or not. How doesn’t he dare to call the shots for him?

Xia Wan looked up at Huo Yu while thinking, and he happened to see Huo Yu’s handsome face which turned into a piece of ice. 

“It’s not necessary,” Huo Yu told him. His deep voice added more layers of ice.

Following Huo Yu’s words, the other party who originally seemed upright suddenly lost support.

Even his shoulders were lowered, which was a disappointment and sadness that even the shadows could not hide.

As expected of the villain, Xia Wan sighed secretly, cold and ruthless enough! As for the villain, Xia Wan was also quite self-aware. 

As soon as he got out of the elevator Xia Wan got out of Huo Yu’s arms.

The night was more like cool water, and the stars were reflected in the deep blue sky. Before transmigrating, Xia Wan had not seen such a starry sky for too long, so even if it was cold, he felt that the night was precious.

The low voice of conversation came from the front, and Shen Yan said, “Sun Baijiang’s life has not been satisfactory in the past few years.”

“Isn’t it very good?” Huo Yu said. 

“The business of the Sun family was soaring, when he went into entertainment by himself. His ship was also smoothly sailing, you need to have good looks, and you need to have acting skills, even if you are an actor.

“Why did he choose to enter the entertainment industry instead of his own business?

Don’t you know?” Shen Yan intended to refer to something.

“No matter how beautiful the surface was, what’s the use of being unhappy in the heart?” 

“Am I still responsible for him?” Huo Yu stopped and said coldly,

“Everyone should pay for what they have done. Sun Baijiang was no exception.”

Shen Yan sighed. He raised his hand, and patted Huo Yu’s shoulder: “I don’t want you to be so stiff, but there is another reason, do you know who his manager is?”

Huo Yu looked sideways. “It’s Wen Yunzhi’s older sister Wen Hongzhi.” Shen Yan said. 

“After the loss of Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong’s child. There has been a rift between the two, but the two have been reconciled over the years.

At least one-third of the power was still in Wen Yunzhi’s hand.

If you want to get in touch with the Xue family, it was a shortcut to contact Wen Hongzhi first.”

Huo Yu thought for a moment and finally said quietly: “No. ” 

The three of them came to the front of the car, and Huo Yu turned to look at Xia Wan: “Where do you live? I will take you back first. ”

“Home?”

Xia Wan’s eyes widened slightly, and the first thing that came to mind was his warm and comfortable home in the original world. Where there were his father, mother, grandfather, and brother

Who was extremely fond of him. Those were all his favorite people. But now he understood that he probably would never go back there. 

As for here, Xia Wan thought for a while, and there was indeed an outline of an old house in his mind. But where exactly? He didn’t know.

It was only about an hour before he had transmigrated through. And during this hour, his experience had many ups and downs.

So it was too late to sort out the messy and broken memories in the original owner’s mind.

Xia Wan looked down at his toes. The windbreaker that was originally worn on Huo Yu’s body only reached his knees. 

It was tightly bound to his body and had already been dyed the color of the wine. Now it was probably useless. This brand of clothing was very comfortable to wear, but it was quite expensive.

In the real world, his mother likes to buy him this brand, so he knows a little bit about it.

With too much debt, Xia Wan looked up at Huo Yu and asked tentatively.

“Can I go to your house to take a bath first?”
