Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 727 - 685: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age

Chapter 727: Chapter 685: A Son of the Zhan Family Comes of Age

Xia Luo left in utter disappointment.

She didn’t return to school, and even turned off her phone.

For the moment, she had no idea how to face Zhan Yunxiao.

She sat alone in a café outside, not knowing how long she had been there, until You Mei found her after nightfall.

"I knew you’d be here," You Mei said.

Xia Luo looked at her with a complex expression.

This café was one she used to frequent and Fang Qingyang also loved it here.

But ever since Fang Qingyang passed away, she hadn’t come back.

Later, she met You Mei.

You Mei said she’d take her to a nice café, and it turned out to be this one.

"Do you know, Xiao is going crazy looking for you."

You Mei approached and said.

Her tone sounded more like a reproach, one intended for Zhan Yunxiao’s sake.

Xia Luo’s face turned unsightly, and she asked in a steady voice, "What right do you have to reproach me?"

You Mei was startled and immediately explained, "I wasn’t reproaching you; I just wanted to tell you that Xiao is really worried about you. He’s been looking everywhere for you."

"Xiao? You call him so intimately. Since when did you know about my relationship with him?" Xia Luo asked.

You Mei sat down, sighed, and explained, "Xia Luo, I’m really happy we became friends. At first, I didn’t know about your relationship with him at all. Until... he gave me a necklace. I thought he was interested in me, and since he wouldn’t express himself, I confessed first. But then he told me he was already married. Only then did I realize his wife was you."

"Ambiguous? You’ve always been ambiguous?" Xia Luo asked in pain.

You Mei bit her lip and lowered her head.

When she looked up again, she took out her phone and showed a photo of her and Zhan Yunxiao together.

"Look at the photo, and you’ll understand."

In the photo, You Mei was wearing a dress they had bought together, posing intimately with Zhan Yunxiao.

The two were almost snuggling, and they were in a couple’s restaurant.

The words "couple’s restaurant" in the background were glaringly obvious.

This wasn’t just ambiguity, this was openly dating.

Xia Luo’s heart sank again, the pain was so intense she couldn’t breathe.

"Xia Luo, I’m sorry. If I had known about your relationship sooner, I wouldn’t have gotten involved."

"Did he also get involved?" Xia Luo asked. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

You Mei smiled bitterly, "He still likes you more, otherwise he wouldn’t be so anxious to find you. I already messaged him that you’re here, he’ll come soon. I’ll leave now, and I hope you two are happy."

Saying this, You Mei stood up and left.

Sure enough, not long after she left, Zhan Yunxiao arrived.

He was both surprised and delighted to see Xia Luo, rushing over to hug her.

"Luoluo, why is your phone off? I was so worried when I couldn’t find you."

"Don’t touch me."

Xia Luo angrily pushed Zhan Yunxiao away.

Zhan Yunxiao looked at her in shock, "Luoluo, what’s wrong?"

Xia Luo let out a cold laugh.

He actually dared to ask her what was wrong?

Thinking of how he could be affectionate with her, while being tender with You Mei, the pain was unbearable for her.

The pain of being neglected and abandoned from her youth swirled around her once again, enclosing her completely.

"I’m asking you, what’s your relationship with You Mei?"

Hearing You Mei’s name, Zhan Yunxiao’s face froze.

"Alright, you don’t need to explain. I already know."

His expression, what more needed to be said?

Xia Luo’s heart was about to break.

She wanted to hear it from himself, yet feared hearing it from his own mouth.

It turned out, she too had a cowardly side.

She was so cowardly she couldn’t face the reality she already knew.

"What do you know? I haven’t said anything, what do you think you know?"

Zhan Yunxiao was momentarily stunned and reacted only when Xia Luo was about to leave, immediately grabbing her arm to ask.

Xia Luo forcefully shook him off, "What more is there to say? Your expression already told me you know You Mei, and you also know I know You Mei. Yet, you still maintained this ambiguity with her. No, dated her. Zhan Yunxiao, you are already married, yet you date other women. If you regret marrying me, just say it outright. I, Xia Luo, am not someone who clings hopelessly. I can divorce you immediately and make way for her."

Xia Luo expressed all her inner thoughts in a single furious breath.

Zhan Yunxiao looked at her in shock, his chest heaving violently.

"Luoluo, you want a divorce? Is this marriage so trivial to you that it can be easily discarded?"

"I’m not the one giving up; you are. You cheated, yet you want me to hold on?" Xia Luo questioned with pain.

Zhan Yunxiao clenched his fists and, closing his eyes, earnestly said, "I did not cheat. I never betrayed our marriage. You won’t even give me a chance to explain, yet you assume I cheated just based on guesses, and speak of divorce so easily. Did you never intend for us to be together forever from the start?"

Her uttering the word divorce so readily stabbed him in the heart like a sharp knife.

Peeled back the flesh, revealing the person buried underneath it all, Fang Qingyang.

Yet Xia Luo didn’t know about Zhan Yunxiao’s taboos.

She merely thought he was making unreasonable trouble, deliberately changing the topic.

She talked about his cheating.

Yet he shifted the topic to her bringing up divorce, as if it was all her fault.

Xia Luo was both furious and pained, not only did her chest hurt, her head also began to spin.

"I’m not going to quarrel with you now. Don’t follow me, I don’t want to see you."

Xia Luo turned and left.

Seeing Zhan Yunxiao follow, she immediately shouted and gestured for him to stop.

Zhan Yunxiao had to halt.

However, how could he be at ease letting her leave alone?

Thinking it over, he could only call his godmother.

With his mother not around, he didn’t know who else to turn to.

The only person he could think of was Xunyou.

Xunyou arrived quickly, found Xia Luo, and informed Zhan Yunxiao.

Seeing that Xia Luo was already with her, Zhan Yunxiao was finally relieved.

But unexpectedly, Yan Yu called to say something had happened to You Mei.

"What happened?"

Zhan Yunxiao asked.

Yan Yu anxiously said, "Come to the hospital immediately. You’ll find out when you get here."

"Tell me what’s happened first!" Zhan Yunxiao demanded, exasperated.

Xia Luo’s situation had already left him agitated, what had gotten into Yan Yu recently? For so long, he had been a discreet assistant, but now he kept making such basic mistakes.

Not even clarifying the situation and just urging him to go over.

"You Mei... attempted suicide," Yan Yu murmured.

Zhan Yunxiao: "..."

Immediately, he drove to the hospital.

He couldn’t understand, why would You Mei attempt suicide?

She was such a smart and understanding girl, her life goal was to become a psychologist, why would she attempt suicide?

But when he arrived at the hospital.

Seeing You Mei lying on the hospital bed, he finally believed it was all true.

"Why? Why did she attempt suicide?" Zhan Yunxiao demanded of Yan Yu.

Yan Yu clenched his fists tightly, tears welling in his eyes.

He tried hard to hold back, but couldn’t.

Finally, gathering his courage, he punched Zhan Yunxiao in the face.

"How dare you ask me why? You tell me why!"
