Chapter 20 Cheated On by the Scum for the 101st Time 20

Chapter 20: The 101st Time Being Cheated On by the Scumbag

He Zixuan's father laughed and said,

"It's only right for Yan Bai to be angry with you, you deserve it, kid!

Baibai, your uncle here apologizes for him. He hasn't slept well for two months, sighing and moping at home every day.

If he did something wrong, you just hit him hard! I won't feel sorry for him at all."

He Zixuan also wore a face full of guilt,

"Baibai, you can hit me or scold me, just don't ignore me, please, okay?"

Yan Bai seethed inwardly; this father and son duo were truly shameless. In front of everyone, weren't they forcing him to back down?

But when had the Demon Lord ever been one to suffer losses?

Yan Bai immediately put on an innocent expression,

"Growing up, I realized the nicknames from childhood aren't appropriate anymore, that's why I call you He Zixuan. You should stop calling me Baibai too, it's so childish?

When did we ever have a conflict? I don't even know about it, and what was it about?"

Yan Bai kicked the ball back, not believing He Zixuan would dare admit to his various infidelities!

Although the two had been dating before, they hadn't formally notified their families. So now, by feigning ignorance, Yan Bai left He Zixuan with no way out.

He Zixuan indeed froze for a moment, somewhat at a loss.

Yan Bai's father smiled,

"It's good if there's no conflict. I was also thinking, what major conflict could two kids who grew up together possibly have?

Zixuan is like your own brother, more mature and steady than you, naturally more considerate. You're muddle-headed every day, probably saying the wrong things without even knowing it.

Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, you two go play somewhere else, don't interrupt our drinking."

Mr. He's heart gave a lurch; the words "own brother" seemed to hint at something, making him think twice.

He Zixuan, however, didn't overthink it. Instead, he felt a bit pleased; Uncle Yan indeed liked him, always taking his side.

It seemed there was still hope!

Yan Bai immediately thanked them politely, turned, and walked away, with He Zixuan following behind.

"Baibai, can we talk?"

Yan Bai was somewhat speechless,

"I said don't call me Baibai!"

Yan Bai was truly fed up with his pestering and wanted to settle this once and for all.

Yan Bai cracked his knuckles, glancing at him sideways,

"You sure you want to talk?"

He Zixuan didn't know why, but his heart trembled a little. Still, he insisted,

"Yes!"

"Then let's go somewhere private, and I'll have a good talk with you."

He Zixuan secretly rejoiced and followed him to a lounge on the second floor.

Neither of them noticed that not far away stood a tall, well-dressed man in a suit, watching them with a gloomy expression.

Ye Chen, as one of the company's outstanding representatives, was specifically brought along by his boss.

Besides his exceptional professional skills, his handsome appearance made him a great representative, which was a key reason he could attend this event today.

However, he didn't expect to see Yan Bai.

Seeing Yan Bai wasn't the issue; the issue was seeing Yan Bai and He Zixuan chatting and laughing together as they entered the lounge.

Yan Bai's smile was so sweet...

Ye Chen felt like he was being burned through by the flames of jealousy.

Once inside the room, Yan Bai's expression immediately turned cold. He crossed his arms and looked at He Zixuan,

"You even learned to call in reinforcements?"

He Zixuan immediately put on a wronged look,

"I had no choice. You haven't given me a chance to properly explain all this time, so I could only ask Uncle Yan to put in a good word for me.

Our being together is the wish of both families, and Uncle Yan supports it too. Can you stop making a fuss? Let's make up!"

Yan Bai was amused by his stupidity,

"Which eye of yours saw my dad supporting us? Not only are your eyes bad, but your brain isn't working either."

He Zixuan was stunned by the scolding,

"Didn't Uncle Yan just give us a chance to be alone?"

"Didn't you hear my dad say you're like my own brother?

Since when do brothers date?

How come you still don't understand? I'm not throwing a tantrum; I genuinely dislike you."

He Zixuan's expression froze.

Yan Bai continued twisting the knife,

"Have some self-awareness. What the hell is wrong with you?"

He Zixuan refused to give up,

"You and Ye Chen have no future. We belong to the same world.

I made mistakes, but you also cheated with Ye Chen. I'll let bygones be bygones, and you forgive me too, okay?"

Yan Bai was stunned by his shamelessness,

"I got together with him after we broke up; that's not cheating."

He Zixuan wasn't ready to give up and stepped forward to hug him, but Yan Bai just kicked him, sending him staggering back several steps before he could steady himself.

He Zixuan rubbed his thigh, looking at him in disbelief, his eyes filled with pain.

Yan Bai continued to hurl insults,

"If you bother me again, I'll aim a little lower, and you'll never have another chance to fool around with others.

If you go complaining to my father again, I'll directly expose your promiscuous ways.

I didn't say it earlier because I thought it was beneath me, not because I still have any lingering feelings for you.

I wore the green hat for years—cuckolded from head to toe. Now that I've finally taken it off, why would I ever pick it back up?

Please get as far away from me as possible, Pan Jinlian, begone!"

He Zixuan felt a chill from head to toe. He couldn't even muster anger or annoyance, only a bone-deep numbness.

"You used to like me so much..."

"You said it yourself—that was in the past. Have you ever thought about what you've done over these years? Who could possibly like you?

Was I insane to like a town bicycle? Aren't you afraid of catching something?"

The heartless words grew harsher with each sentence.

He Zixuan finally saw reality clearly.

Yan Bai truly looked down on him now!

Seeing that the timing was about right, Yan Bai didn't believe he'd still have the nerve to cling shamelessly after all that.

After finishing, he turned and walked out of the room with a smug air, only to run straight into a tall figure as soon as he stepped out. Yan Bai was startled.

Looking up, he saw Ye Chen's expressionless face. Yan Bai was genuinely surprised now.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Chen's face darkened as he whispered in his ear,

"You're going to be dealt with today..."

It sounded like the second time he'd heard that. Yan Bai wasn't having it.

"Why?"

But Ye Chen ignored him, pushed the door open, and glanced back at Yan Bai as he closed it. His tone was flat and emotionless.

"Wait outside. Don't leave."

There was no anger in his voice, only an eerie calm that sent shivers down one's spine...

Ye Chen entered the room, his face visible behind the door as he stared expressionlessly at Yan Bai. The door slowly closed until his face was completely out of sight.

The lock clicked shut with a "snap," like a slow-motion replay from a horror movie.

Yan Bai shivered a little—it was fucking terrifying!

Time seemed to freeze as Yan Bai chattered with Nine-Tails,

"What is Ye Chen up to? Did he just order me around? Does he have a death wish?"

Nine-Tails' expression was complicated.

"You weren't this brave earlier!"

"That's because he's older—I was respecting my elders and caring for the young!"

Nine-Tails nodded in agreement.

"Right, the antagonist is a year older than you. An old cow eating tender grass—how shameless!

But his stamina is really something—all night long, every single time, without fear of burning out."

Yan Bai immediately took offense.

"Who are you mocking?"

Nine-Tails pretended to slap himself.

"I was praising him! Did I misplace my flattery again?

Your man is about to beat He Zixuan to a pulp. Aren't you going to do something?"

Yan Bai looked completely indifferent.

"As long as he's not beating him to death and I have to bury the body, why should I bother?"
