Wronged Marriage (TanXFang)

Chapter 5

"So you've heard everything?" Tan asked.

Fang slowly took a breath while nodding his head. For some reason he was very honest this time. Seeing Fang's reaction, Tan just smiled lopsidedly while folding his arms in front of his chest.

"Thank goodness you know. What I did today was because of Sun's request. He asked me to be fair to you, even though I really don't want to."

Fang took a deep breath as he raised his head and looked at Tan full of hatred.

"I didn't ask either, So I don't think you need to bother doing it."

Tan chuckled while shaking his head.

"I want to sleep, I'm sleepy. You sleep in your own room!!" Fang immediately barged into his room and closed the door with a thud.

A long sigh escaped Tan's mouth, then a moment later footsteps were heard running down to the first floor.

"I shouldn't have accepted this arranged marriage if it would end like this. I'm just a third person in their relationship."

Fang immediately threw his body on the bed and burst into tears there. He didn't know how long he cried, but he definitely fell asleep after that.

The next morning, Fang did not see Tan. His car was also no longer in the garage. Fang felt more relieved that way so he would not have to be confused about how to act when he met him. Fang went to the hospital riding his motorbike. He wanted to forget what happened yesterday.

In the evening when he returned home, Fang did not find Tan's car. Even until late at night, his car did not arrive. Then not long after, a message came from Sun saying that they both went out of town for business. Fang did not care and did not reply to Sun's message. Didn't they often do things like that together without his knowledge. It was a common thing. Why did Sun send him a message now? Did he want to show off that he had succeeded in completely controlling his husband?

"Ah... I don't want to continue like this. I have to get out of here. Maybe it's better if I'm not here," Fang muttered.

Fang remembered that at the hospital earlier, a coworker was talking about a boarding house near the hospital. His coworker was transferred out of town while he had just paid the boarding house fee for the next year. His coworker planned to find someone who would replace the boarding house fee and occupy his boarding house.

With determination, Fang made a call to his colleague.

"Pai, I think I know who is interested in replacing your boarding house. Is it possible to move in starting tomorrow?" asked Fang as soon as the call was connected.

He seemed silent while smiling and nodding his head. It seemed like he had found a way out of his problem. Fang didn't care about the responses of his parents and in-laws. Maybe it was time for Tan to come clean about his scandal. Fang couldn't hide it anymore.

The next day, Fang took all his belongings and left Tan's house. He even put the key of the house under the doormat. He didn't want to come back here. He wanted to end it all and be alone.

Five days later, Fang was already living in a new place, a boarding house near his workplace. He didn't even give any news to Tan and Sun. Fang deliberately changed his cellphone number. Just think of it as proof of his firm stance on their treatment so far. If only Tan could have power, Fang could do it too.

That afternoon, Tan and Sun arrived home. They smiled cheerfully, getting out of the car while carrying their belongings. In addition to having work outside the city, Tan also deliberately used his time to honeymoon with Sun. Every moment with his lover always made Tan happy.

"Phi, Phi'Fang hasn't come home yet, right? I'll give him the souvenirs later, okay?" said Sun.

They were already inside the house and unpacking their belongings.

"Yes. Maybe in a minute. If you're tired, just rest. I'll give it to him later."

Sun nodded with a smile. They had been out of town for almost five days, maybe Tan also missed his husband. Who knows, he also wanted to spend time with Fang.

"Okay, I'll take a rest first, phi." Sun had already gone to his room and was answered with a nod from Tan.

This time Tan deliberately waited for Fang's arrival in the living room while watching TV. The clock still showed six in the afternoon, Fang was still two hour away from coming home. He might arrive home at nine. Usually Fang never eats at home and always spends his dinner time outside.

Because he was tired, Tan waited for Fang to come while lying on the sofa. It turned out that he accidentally fell asleep. Tan woke up when he heard his cellphone ringing loudly. Tan saw his mother's name on the cellphone screen.

"What's wrong, Ma?" Tan asked in a hoarse voice. He had just woken up from his sleep.

["Tan, is Fang okay? His phone has been inactive for five days. He's not sick, right?"]

Tan was surprised to hear his mother's question. Mrs.manapom, his mother really loved Fang and even considered Fang more than just a son-in-law.

"Yes, he's fine, Ma. He's been a bit busy these past few days. I'll tell him to call you later," Tan lied. In truth, he didn't know what Fang was going through at the moment. He hadn't seen him for the past five days either.

["No need. No need to ask him to call. Pa and Ma are going there this weekend. You have the day off, right?"]

Tan suddenly jumped in surprise and immediately sat on the sofa. He looked confused, repeatedly grabbing his face roughly.

"Yes, I'm on holiday, Ma. Fang too."

["Okay, then. See you there."]

Tan just nodded and didn't have time to answer when Mrs.manapom ended the call.

Tan took a deep breath as he looked at the clock on the wall. It was already half past ten at night.

"Oh my gosh!! I fell asleep. Fang must have arrived."

Tan immediately got up, grabbed the paper bag containing the souvenirs that Sun had prepared then walked to the second floor to Fang's room. Tan stopped in front of Fang's room then slowly knocked on the door.

Once, twice there was no answer from inside the room. Tan took a deep breath while scratching his head which was not itchy.

"You're already asleep," he muttered.

Tan wanted to go back down to the first floor and intended to give his souvenirs tomorrow morning. However, for some reason Tan's hand suddenly touched the door handle and opened it. Tan blinked when he saw the dark and quiet room that looked unoccupied.

"Fang... Are you asleep?" Tan just walked in. Isn't this also his husband's room, surely it wouldn't be a problem if he just walked in.

Tan felt the light switch behind the door and soon the entire room was clearly visible. Tan was shocked when he saw that Fang was not there. Even the room looked neat. Tan panicked, then walked quickly to the bathroom. There was no Fang there.

His eyes had wandered to see the empty dressing table without any of Fang's skin care tools lined up there. Then he walked towards the closet and was shocked again when he saw that none of his husband's clothes were there.

Half running, Tan went down to the first floor and walked quickly out of the house to check the garage. His face immediately became irritated when he saw that his husband's motorbike was not there. Tan's hand had already reached for the cellphone in his pants pocket and immediately dialed Fang's number.

However, he was disappointed again when he found out that Fang's cellphone number could not be reached. Tan took a deep breath while ruffling his hair. His eyes were still wandering here and there as if looking for Fang out there. Then a soft question came out of his sexy lips.

"Where are you, Khaofang?"
