Chapter 55: An Unspeakable Heartache

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Five years ago—because of a car accident—the super star Huo Yunshen fell straight from the heavens into hell, his future shattered to dust.

Ever since then, he had gradually disappeared from public view and quietly retired from the entertainment circle.

No one knew the amount of despair and pain he had to go through before he was finally able to climb out of the muck to travel to the hospital for rehabilitation every week.

“I’m not sure whether rehabilitation works... when will he be able to get rid of the wheelchair?”

“So what if he finally gets rid of the wheelchair? I heard that he still wouldn’t be able to “do it” anymore. It’s impossible for him to get married and have children!”

“Does that mean that his family legacy ends with him? Not a single child! He will be childless for the rest of his life!”

“With that beautiful face, he might as well become a woman...”

“I agree. He was very manly whenever he played a tough guy, but he’s also played women before, and he was more seductive than the Whore of Babylon.”

...

They ridiculed and mocked him. Xu Xiyan clenched her jaw as she listened to these people, and felt an unspeakable heartache.

Deep inside, she did not want anyone to slander Huo Yunshen.

It was as if she had this instinct and she felt the urge to protect the dignity of this once brilliant international super star, and boldly decided to do something about it.

She snuck her bag under her shirt and shoved her way through the crowd towards Huo Yunshen, shielding him with her umbrella from the light rain.

Huo Yunshen felt something shading him from above and looked up. He saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking down at him, bright and twinkling like stars, and a heartwarming smile beaming down.

He was lost for words.

He didn’t expect Xu Xiyan to look for him first.

Xu Xiyan smiled gently, her voice sweet, though deliberately loud.

“Husband, I’m here.”

Huo Yunshen: “...”

Was he hearing things? What did she just call him? What? Was it...”husband”?

“The exam is over. The doctor said that the baby is very healthy.”

Xu Xiyan was putting her acting skills into good use. Whether it was a simple expression or the act of looking into his eyes, she appeared as a wife looking down at her beloved husband.

Huo Yunshen: “...”

Err... Was she putting on an act for him?

The sharp-minded Huo Yunshen finally understood what was going on. She could not stand those people gossiping about him, and had decided to help save his reputation!

Truth be told, it was not worth doing that. The gossip would have bothered him two years ago, and he would’ve felt inferior.

But now, he didn’t give a damn how people looked at him.

And surely enough, the tone of the group of gossipers became different after Xu Xiyan’s appearance.

“Is Elvis already married?”

“He even had a child...who said that he couldn’t ‘do it’?”

“When did he get married?”

“I never heard about him marrying. It might be a secret marriage...”

...

A luxurious-looking celebrity van drove over and stopped in front of them.

The show must still go on.

Xu Xiyan handed her umbrella to a nearby bodyguard and pushed Huo Yunshen’s wheelchair, saying loudly, “Let’s go home, dear!”

“...” Huo Yunshen did not open his mouth the whole time. He didn’t even touch the controls of his electric wheelchair and allowed her push it for him instead.

However, just in hearing those few words, his heart was already soaring.

He had a wonderful thought.

Was Xu Xiyan starting to pay attention to him? Care about him? Protect him?
