Chapter 58: The Only Girl That He’s Close To
Editor: Larbre Studio
Huo Sanyan slammed the front page of the entertainment newspaper in front of Huo Yunshen and pointed at the back of the unidentified girl..
"You better come clean. Who is thisl?"
Huo Sanyan wasn't just there for the gossip. She was actually worried about Huo Yunshen's life and future.
Since the accident five years ago, the people who cared about him had to watch him suffer and fall into despair. They did offer him their assistance, but none of them had truly succeeded.
Now that Huo Yunshen had finally escaped his past and begun a new life, his family was happy for him. They were delighted to hear that he might've found someone he cared for, and hoped that the news was real. They wanted him to have someone who would stay by his side forever.
They didn't really mind who the person was or where she came from, as long as she was willing to stay by his side without discrimination. She would be the benefactor of the Huo family.
"What do you mean?" Huo Yunshen wanted to change the topic. Even though this sister of his had quit being an entertainment reporter some time ago, she was still just as interested in gossip.
"As the director of Yunhai Entertainment's Public Relations department, aren't you supposed to be taking care of this problem? What are you doing gossiping around here?"
"Hey, everyone likes some good gossip, you know. And it's not every day you get to hear some love interest gossips about yourself. I think we should have more of those! Dad, mom, and your sisters, including me, were praying like crazy for you to enter a good relationship with someone.
"…" Huo Yunshen began to wonder if the sister in front of him was adopted or something.
As Huo Yunshen remained quiet, Huo Sanyan continued.
"Try to think harder. Did you had a one night stand with anyone before?"
"What are you implying?".
"Well, maybe you have an illegitimate child somewhere that we don't know of. That would mean that the Huo family will finally have an heir. Mum and dad would love to see that."
Huo Sanyan rubbed her hand, her eyes wide open.
"But seriously, was there ever any girl that you were close to?"
"Nope. You know that I have heterophobia."
But the fact was he used to be quite close with Tang Shixue when he was in Mstan. Now, the only girl that was really close to him was Xu Xiyan.
Yet Huo Yunshen sincerely believed that now wasn't the right time to introduce Xu Xiyan into the picture.
Their relationship hadn't even truly begun yet. If Xu Xiyan was pressured by his family, she could just get intimidated and leave.
"Don't you dare try to use that. Your "heterophobia" excuse might've convinced mum, dad, and the other more gullible sisters, but definitely not me. Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Huo Sanyan raised her eyebrows. She had already heard from Tang Yichen that her brother made up the heterophobia issue to prevent the family from introducing different him to so many different women.
Huo Yunshen sighed and looked at his sister. "I'm telling you the truth. I don't even know who the girl in the picture is. You used to be an entertainment reporter yourself; can't you see that this girl was just trying to use the situation to gain fame?"
Huo Sanyan studied the picture in the paper again.
Now that he mentions it, it really does seem that way…
Since Huo Yunshen had denied the scandal himself, Huo Sanyan stopped pressuring her brother and sighed.
"Why does it have to be fake news? If you'd found your true love, mum, dad, and our sisters might stop pressuring me to find someone for myself…"
"Sister Sanyan, are you really worried about my future or are you just trying to stop mom and dad urging you to get married?"
The smart Huo Yunshen had caught on quickly.
The third sister of his was a celibatarian. Even if she was already in her 30's, she had yet to find a partner. Though she didn't pay much attention to it, her families were anxious about it.
After having her true intentions exposed, Huo Sanyan laughed awkwardly. She took Huo Yunshen's hand…

"Oh, my dear brother, how sharp-minded you are. You know that I don't want to get married. So whether it's for me, for you, or for the Huo family, it's still better that you're the one who finds a life partner. That way, mom and dad won't be so anxious."
Huo Yunshen smiled helplessly.
"I do want to find a life partner, but, who would want a cripple like me?"
"Huo Yunshen!!"
Huo Sanyan's tone had changed and she was getting a little angry.
"How many times have I told you not to say those self-deprecating words?"
Huo Sanyan realized that she'd gone over the top and quickly softened her voice.
"Brother, what did you just say? You want to find a partner? You're worried that people won't even glance at you? You have nothing to worry about! My dear brother is the best man in the world. It will be a great blessing for any woman who finds you."
"And even though you're not in a good shape now," she continued, "I still believe in you. I'm sure one day you will overcome your obstacles! Work hard, brother!"
"Thank you!"
Huo Yunshen returned a smile. He knew that even though he'd become a cripple, his family had never given up on him. They would always stand behind him, encourage him, and support him.
"Okay then, I'll let you finish your work. See you!"
Although she did not manage to pry any valuable information from her brother's mouth, Huo Sanyan did not continue to press him. She comforted her brother and let him continue his work, leaving his office.
After all, Huo Sanyan was formerly an award-winning entertainment journalist. She could tell whether the rumors in the entertainment circle were intentionally fabricated. Her "three eyes" were sharp and discerning, and she could usually tell whether a news report was fake or real.
Though she believed her brother's words, she still had a nagging suspicion.
Huo Sanyan walked into the elevator and inside she saw Yi Xiao who had just returned from some errands. Huo Sanyan's eyes lit up, and she moved over to block Yi Xiao from exiting.
Yi Xiao could not get out. He looked up, and saw the person who had blocked him was his boss's third eldest sister. He quickly greeted her.
"Director Huo."
Huo Sanyan smiled and stepped closer and closer to him, backing him into the wall. He couldn't escape.
"Director Huo, what… what do you want?" Yi Xiao asked nervously.
Huo Sanyan could be a boorish woman when it came to getting what she wanted. She stretched out an arm and slapped it onto the wall beside Yi Xiao's neck.
"Xi Yiao," she began. "Have you been responsible for managing the president's affairs lately?"
"Uh huh," said Yi Xiao timidly as he stood frozen in Miss Huo's kabedon, a maneuver which is often used in an attempt at seduction, but in this moment, was being used as means to entrap.
He had always heard that Huo Sanyan was a tough woman and today he was seeing it up close. So it is true.
"Have you noticed him behaving strangely lately? I mean, is there someone he fancies? Has he been seeing anyone?" Huo Sanyan looked straight into Yi Xiao's eyes.
Behaving strangely?
Of course.
Since the appearance of Miss Xu Xiyan, the young master had changed. He would no longer lose his temper as easily, nor would he slip into depressive moods. He was even more engaged with his work now.
But now that Huo Sanyan was asking, he could not tell her.
He knew the affairs of his young master. For five years his young master had been in love with Miss Xu Xiyan, and for five years he had been waiting for her. However, Yi Xiao could not disclose this matter to anyone, as his young master had ordered him not to.
The severe lack of space between them made Yi Xiao very nervous and embarrassed. He was starting to sweat.
He pretended to be calm as he answered.
"No. The young master had been focusing on his work."
"Really?"
"Yes—"
Huo Sanyan was about to continue the interrogation, but the elevator doors opened.
Mr. Li from the human resources department stepped in and saw them in the middle of a kabedon. Obviously shocked at what he saw, he retracted his foot from the elevator and apologized.
"Oh sorry, sorry! Carry on."
Yi Xiao was lost for words.
Mr. Li! No! Don't go!
It's really not what you think!
