………..
Seeming to sense Xia Wan’s uneasiness, Huo Yu lowered his eyes slightly, casting an unclear glance at him before turning his gaze to Huo Lin with indifference.
“You’re engaged, Of course, I have to come back.” Huo Yu stated calmly, his voice composed as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. He didn’t seem bothered by Huo Lin’s threat.
“After everything is sorted out, I’ll definitely visit Uncle,” Huo Yu added.
Huo Lin nodded silently, but his eyes continued to shift between Huo Yu and Xia Wan.
Huo Lin was more troubled by their relationship than he let on. New questions kept popping up in his mind one after another, adding to his internal concerns.
Huo Yu had been living abroad for years, so how did Xia Wan know him and how did they meet?
Also, Huo Yu hugged Xia Wan tightly just now, and Xia Wan didn’t resist or say anything. It was as if he was accustomed to being hugged like that.
So, when did they meet?
Huo Lin felt increasingly angry and betrayed as more and more questions arose in his mind. He couldn’t shake off the feeling of being deceived.
When Xia Wan was usually with him, he was always too timid to even hold his hand, so how could he be so nonchalant about it now?
Huo Lin couldn’t help but sneer. He doesn’t know where to vent his anger.
After staring at Xia Wan coldly for a while, Huo Lin finally shifted his gaze to Huo Yu and said, “My dad will be really happy to know you’re back. You’ve always been the one who loves him the most.”
Huo Yu remained unmoved by the words. He chuckled as if what Huo Lin had just said was a funny joke. “That’s why I have to repay the old man well,” he remarked.
Good, very good. Both brothers just keep talking, while he slips away. Xia Wan thought.
Xia Wan quietly took a step back to let the brothers have a heartfelt conversation.
He had just taken a step back when someone grabbed his wrist.
Covered by the large windbreaker, Xia Wan struggled a few times, but the other party’s hand remained motionless, like a pair of iron pliers.
“By the way,” Huo Yu said casually, shaking Xia Wan’s hand in the air as if nothing had happened, “Let me reintroduce you, this is your sister-in-law, Xia Wan.” He said to Huo Lin with a smile.
Xia Wan:!?
Xia Wan had initially thought of letting the two brothers fight among themselves, but now the blame was being placed squarely on his head.
This vengeful attitude. Huo Yu was indeed living up to his reputation as a villain.
Xia Wan smiled stiffly, and mumbled to Huo Yu: ” Thank you.”
The hall fell into a sudden silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
A normal engagement banquet was twisted into a large-scale family ethics theater in a moment. The onlookers were even more excited by this extremely bloody plot trend.
Their eyes were practically glowing, and all of them looked like wolves smelling meat.
Yet among the mist, there was one person who was not happy with this.
Huo Lin’s blood surged, and the jealousy and anger he had been holding back almost reached its peak.
Who can accept that the little beauty who was wholeheartedly devoted to him just a moment ago suddenly became his sister-in-law?
Not to forget he didn’t even have a chance to taste this little beauty.

But that was not possible. As long as that face was there, Huo Lin would have tied Xia Wan by his side.
Even though Huo and Qiu’s marriage was crucial for the cooperation between the two parties.
Huo Lin would still prefer to hide his engagement from Xia Wan. So that he would be able to keep Xia Wan as his mistress.
But now?
In the blink of an eye, Xia Wan became his sister-in-law, and Xia Wan blamed him for cheating.
But if the account was calculated, he doesn’t know who gave the green cap to whom.
Xia Wan didn’t care, but what about him? He was bound to become the biggest joke in this circle.
The more Huo Lin thought about it, the bigger his turmoil became.
The more Huo Lin thought about it, the more overwhelming it became. He felt suffocated, he was unable to breathe. The tightness in his chest nearly overwhelmed him.
Especially when he saw Xia Wan and Huo Yu, one lifting his head slightly and the other lowering his eyes as they shamelessly flirted with each other, he became even angrier.
Looking at this, made Huo Lin even more violent.
“Xia Wan!” He called in a deep voice, the veins on his forehead protruding.
Xia Wan turned his head and cast a cold glance at Huo Lin, his eyes reflecting his displeasure, before he retreated into Huo Yu’s arms like a frightened deer seeking refuge.
It was clear that Xia Wan was showing his sharp claws just now. The act was too frightening, was too exaggerated, and it was blatantly obvious.
Knowing that Huo Yu still hugged him into his arms and rubbed the back of Xia Wan’s black head soothingly, as if he loved him so much.
When Huo Yu looked up at Huo Lin. His eyes were not warm.
“Call him sister-in-law.” Although Huo Yu’s voice was still very light, there was a hint of oppression.
“You are now an engaged person, why are you still behaving like a small kid?”
“Also,” Huo Yu paused. After a while, he continued, “You and Qiu Qi should apologize to your sister-in-law for what happened today.”
“Humph!” Qiu Qi tilted his head in anger, while Huo Lin rolled his Adam’s apple and almost couldn’t hold back a mouthful of blood to spit it out.
Neither of them made any sound, but Shen Yan, who had been standing around watching the excitement in revealing, laughed.
Bullshit! what sister-in-law!?
In fact, Xia Wan had been by Huo Lin’s side since he appeared at a party last month.
Maybe because the kid was good-looking. In just one month, Huo Lin took him to several banquets, and Shen Yan alone met him twice.
Moreover, on the way back from the airport, he never heard Huo Yu mention a word about his supposed”sister-in-law”.
It was only when they passed by the Xue family building that Huo Yu reluctantly spoke up. Upon learning that the young master of the Xue family, who had been missing since childhood, still hadn’t been found, Huo Yu fell silent once more.
Shen Yan couldn’t fathom how such a cold person could come up with such a destructive move.
But the slap on Huo Lin’s face was truly loud.
As a good friend, how could he not step forward to add fuel to the fire?
“Hello, sister-in-law.” Shen Yan coughed. He walked up to Xia Wan first and addressed him respectfully.
“Today is a good day, the Huo family welcomes two daughters-in-law, and Uncle Huo would be very happy to know about it.”
When Shen Yan called Xia Wan, the sister-in-law. Other people who were watching the fun also stepped forward to say hello, as if the people who laughed and made fun of Xia Wan before were not them, the whole hall was full of “sister-in-law” for a while.
Listening to this Xia Wan’s brain started to hurt.
It was a cold spring night. Even if the air conditioner was turned off, the soaked shirt still makes Xia Wan shiver.
Huo Yu held his wrist. He lowered his eyes, and asked, “Go upstairs to the room and change your clothes.”
With the sound of “sister-in-law”, Xia Wan didn’t hear anything else, but only heard the word “go to room”.
Xia Wan felt like Huo Yu was a big villain!
Even if he had been unwell for a while before coming here and longed for a healthy body and a normal life, he wouldn’t be so desperate that he would book a room with the villain without knowing anything, right?
Xia Wan raised his eyes warily. His wet eyelashes softened, losing the coldness and sharpness he had exhibited when facing Huo Lin. Instead, they conveyed confusion, resembling the innocent gaze of a deer, evoking a sense of pity.
“I want to go home.” Xia Wan whispered.
In the end, Huo Lin and Qiu Qi didn’t apologize to him, but Xia Wan doesn’t care. He had already returned the favor of drinks and humiliation, and on top, Huo Yu’s arrival made Qiu Qi and Huo Lin’s engagement banquet a joke.
What better revenge than this?
And for him, there are more important things to do at the moment.
Such as staying away from garbage people, going back to take a hot bath, and changing into clean clothes.
Although he still doesn’t know whether transmigrating into a book would spell disaster, or end up a blessing, at least he has the healthy body he dreamed of before.
This time, Xia Wan wants to live a healthy and happy life.
This time, he wanted to live a healthy life and no longer wanted to get sick, take medicine, get injections, or lie in the hospital bed endlessly, worrying his parents and relatives.
The most important thing was that he needed to sort out the blurry memory in his mind as soon as possible.
“Okay.” Huo Yu nodded, his voice very soft. He stretched out his hand and took Xia Wan into his arms, and said to Huo Lin: “I’ll take your sister-in-law home to change his clothes first.”
Huo Yu was more than half a head taller than Xia Wan, and both of them were born very beautiful. They both look like a perfect match, anyone who sees them would believe they were made for each other.
But the more Huo Yu touched Xia Wan intimately, the more annoyed Huo Lin became, especially with the word “change clothes”.
His eyes were glued to Xia Wan’s body like a cold knife as if as long as Xia Wan dared to leave with Huo Yu, he would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.
That would have worked to bully the original owner who was with no family background.
Xia Wan hooked his lips. His smile was more cold and contemptuous, and then he half-cuddled in Huo Yu’s arms and walked towards the door.
The cold gaze behind Xia Wan and the body temperature with a faint woody fragrance invaded together. Xia Wan couldn’t help but lean into Huo Yu’s arms.
Anyway, he had already offended Huo Lin and Qiu Qi, and he didn’t mind offending each other again.
A low chuckle seemed to emanate from above his head, and the arms around his shoulders tightened as if in agreement.
The corners of Huo Yu’s lips were slightly hooked, his eyes drooping, he saw the dark and damp hair of Xia Wan, clinging to the snow-white forehead.
No matter how he looked at Xia Wan, the child had a harmless aura to humans and animals, but unexpectedly, not in an irritating way.
Sure enough, before they could take two steps further, Huo Lin’ gloomy voice came from behind:
“Brother.”
Huo Yu curled his lips and turned slightly, while Xia Wan leaned lazily in his arms, not even bothering to raise his eyelids.
In the book, Huo Lin and Qiu Qi were the protagonists, so most of the things told were from their perspectives.
The author did not explain the life experience of the little cannon fodder Xia Wan and his entanglement with Huo Lin, let alone why he came to this engagement banquet.
In the eyes of all readers, he was simply there to stir up trouble. The clown served as a tool to highlight how well-matched and sweet the protagonist was.
But Xia Wan happened to cross over into the original owner’s body and learned from the fragmented and chaotic memories that Huo Lin had always been with Xia in the name of love, albeit in secret.
To the original owner, Huo Lin was his beloved lover. If it wasn’t for Qiu Qi’s phone call, he might not have known that his “beloved” was engaged to someone else.
At that time, the original owner didn’t have time to think about anything. He did not even have time to grab a coat. He just wanted to get to the scene as soon as possible and ask for the truth and an explanation.
What the original owner didn’t expect was to be humiliated by Qiu Qi and his friends as soon as he arrived.
And Huo Lin, his “beloved”, was indifferent to all of this.
It was just disgusting!
“Brother,” Huo Lin’s lower voice said, “you and Xia Wan should separate.”
“Why?” Huo Yu asked, his voice as indifferent as always.
“Because he. ..” Huo Lin paused, after tonight, even if he didn’t say it, everyone present already knew that he had a relationship with Xia Wan.
Huo Lin gritted his teeth and completed what he was initially about to say, “because he had been with me before.”
Huo Lin thought that Huo Yu would be furious when he said these words, but Huo Yu still looked at him indifferently: “But you are already engaged to someone else now.”
The meaning behind Huo Yu’s words was very clear.
Since Huo Lin was engaged to someone else, Huo Lin has nothing to do with Xia Wan and he no longer has any qualifications to interfere in Xia Wan’s life.
Who Xia Wan wants to be with or who Xia Wan wants to spend his time with. It has nothing to do with him.
Huo Lin had choked, and after a while, he couldn’t help but raise his voice: “Just for such a person who wanted wealth but had no integrity or status, aren’t you afraid that outsiders would say our brothers were jealous of each other, bringing disgrace to the Huo family?”
After a brief pause, Huo Yu chuckled softly.
“Jealousy among brothers?” he remarked, a hint of amusement in his voice, “Isn’t that a longstanding tradition in our Huo family?”
Visible to the naked eye, Huo Lin’s expression changed.
Huo Yu didn’t speak anymore and walked towards the door with Xia Wan in his arms.
Shen Yan also said goodbye to everyone: “Huo Yu has come directly from the airport, I’ll send them off.”
Upon saying this, the smiles on everyone present took on a deeper meaning.
Compared with the dance floor, the closer to the door, the darker the light. It wasn’t until turning into the entrance that Xia Wan noticed that there was a tall and thin figure standing close to the door as if hesitating whether to come in.
In contrast to the dim hall, the corridor was nearly dazzling with brightness.
In the backlight, Shen Yan could only make out the vague outline of the other person’s features, but he immediately recognized them. “What a surprise, Star Sun! It’s rare to see you here.” Shen Yan said.
“The event is nearby,” the other party said, their voice soft. “I happened to notice the noise, so I came over to take a look.”
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze towards Xia Wan, giving him a brief look. His tone remained gentle, “Xia Wan, right? Hello.”
Xia Wan was not sure if he had seen each other before, so he nodded obediently: “Hello.”
The other person spoke again, “Can I have a private conversation with Huo Yu?”
Xia Wan: …
Huo Yu was here already, why doesn’t he just ask him directly? Xia Wan doesn’t dare to decide for him.
While contemplating, Xia Wan raised his eyes to look at Huo Yu and happened to notice his cold expression.
“Not necessary,” Huo Yu stated, his deep voice carrying an added layer of frostiness.
With those words, the other person’s once upright figure seemed to lose its support, shoulders drooping. Even the shadows couldn’t conceal the evident disappointment and sadness.
“As expected of a villain,” Xia Wan sighed secretly.
He really lived up to his reputation of being cold and ruthless.
And for him, Xia Wan also realized he had to be careful with this villain and stay far away.
…
Upon exiting the elevator, Xia Wan swiftly stepped out of Huo Yu’s embrace.
The night was chilly, like water. Looking at the dark blue sky in the distance, Xia Wan lifted his head slightly, his eyes gleaming with the starlight.
Before transmigrating, Xia Wan had not seen such a starry sky for too long, so even if it was cold, he felt that the night was precious.
The low voice of conversation came from the front, and Shen Yan said, “Sun Baijiang’s life has not been satisfactory in the past few years.”
“Not great?” Huo Yu spoke calmly, “The Sun family’s business is flourishing, and his venture into the entertainment industry went smoothly. With good looks and acting skills, he even won the Best Actor Award. What’s wrong ?”
“Don’t you know why he chose the entertainment industry over his own business?” Shen Yan pointedly remarked, “No matter how beautiful the surface is, what’s the use if there’s no happiness in the heart?”
“Am I still responsible for him?” Huo Yu stopped and said coldly,
“Everyone should pay for what they have done. Sun Baijiang is no exception.”
Shen Yan sighed. He raised his hand, and patted Huo Yu’s shoulder: “I don’t want to have a meaningless quarrel with you. There is another reason, do you know who his manager is?”
Huo Yu glanced sideways.
“It’s Wen Yunzhi’s sister, Wen Hengzhi,” Shen Yan explained. “After Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong lost their child, the relationship between them was not good. But they reconciled long ago. Wen Yunzhi held at least one-third of Xue’s power. If you want to establish a relationship with Xue, contacting Wen Hengzhi first is a shortcut.”
Huo Yu thought for a moment and finally said quietly: “No need.”
The three of them arrived at the front of the car. Huo Yu turned his head to look at Xia Wan: “Where do you live? I will take you back first. ”
“Home?”
Xia Wan’s eyes widened slightly, and the first thing that came to mind was his warm and comfortable home in the original world.
Where his father, mother, grandfather, and brother were. His family, who were extremely fond of him. All his favorite people. But now he understood that he would probably never go back again.
As for here, Xia Wan thought for a while, and there was indeed an outline of an old house in his mind. But where exactly? He didn’t know.
It had only been an hour since he had transmigrated into this book. However, during this one hour, he has experienced many ups and downs.
And it is also too late for him to sort out the messy and broken memories of the original owner’s.
Xia Wan looked down at his toes. The windbreaker that was originally worn on Huo Yu’s body only reached his knees.
It was tightly bound to his body and had already been dyed the color of the wine. Now it was probably useless. This brand of clothing was very comfortable to wear, but it was quite expensive.
In the real world, his mother used to buy him this brand, so he knows a little bit about it.
With too much debt, Xia Wan looked up at Huo Yu and asked tentatively.
“Can I go to your house to take a bath first?”
I’m so use to italics being used to express thoughts that I read this chapter picturing everyone as telepaths.

alguma recomendação?
any recommendations?
“Husband is dying of terminal illness” it was on CG before but now rainbow mushroom (translator) has moved to their site …. It is also very good very satisfying
Aahhhh …. Notifications are not working right now wonder when you will be able to see
Oh my, quite a mess~
Thank You for the chapter ( ꈍᴗꈍ)❤️
a transmigrator who originally had a happy life with loving rich parents??? how refreshing LOL
It’s kinda confusing is it xia wen or xia wan? Are they different person or just typo?? This paragraph especially confusing, “But the more huo lin behaved like this the more annoyed huo lin became….. More huo lin imagined….. More his eyes….” And other lines. Maybe some proofread or a little edit will fix this?? But regardless thanks for the translation 👍
Ok, will do it. Thanks for pointing that out!!
I have edited those two lines and can you help me out which lines were problematic to understand as a reader.
Ahh I’m excited to see where this goes! Thanks for your translation 😋
NGL, I would have pulled out my wallet to check my address 🤣 Then again, that wouldn’t make for a very good story. 🤔🤓
Huo Lin really is a bastard 😀😀
Huo Yu, a devil, was even more angelic than him.
Thank you for the chapter ❤️
Watching the excitement in
revealing laughed = something is clearly wrong with this sentence
Shen Yan met twice = met him twice is much better
When Shen Yan called Xia Wan, the sister-in-law. Other
people…. = When SY called XW sister-in-law, other people…4. As if the people who laughed and coaxed before = coaxed? I think ridicule and sneer will be a better fit. Coax sounds like pampering someone they love
Or whether, it is a blessing, but at least, at this moment,
he has…. = too much “,” the sentence meaning is not clear either
Tool man who was good to
compare = meaning is a mess too. There should be a better translation for this
Huo Lin’s lower voice said = if i’m right usually this should be Huo Lin lowered his voice and said or Huo Lin said in lowered voice
Brothers are against the wall = no clear meaning either
Under the backlight, Xia Wan can only see…, but Shen Yan
indentifies the person at a glance = this entire sentence suddenly turns into present tense, while the others in past tenses.
As for the villain, Xia Wan was also quite self-aware = no clear meaning, perhaps what you mean is “as the villain”?
Before transmigrating, Xia Wan had not seen such a starry
sky for too long = for a long time is much a better fit for this
Who was extremely fond of him = they’re talking about Xia Wan’s family which consist of multiple people. So “were” is the right one
Sorry for rambling… My english is not entirely good, but i’ve read a lot of novels so these mistakes that causing the meaning to be so unclear really bothers me
Noted. Will change all previous chapters. Once I complete the whole translation for this novel. Thanks for pointing out
