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.
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?
