Strategic Marriage

Chapter - 23

Wang Dylan made Wang Yibo sat on a couch and broke the hug. He was surprised when he saw dried blood on Yibo's forehead.

"How did you get hurt?" Dylan asked while touching the cut on Yibo's forehead.

"I don't know. Maybe when I nearly escaped a car accident." Yibo said and Dylan was shocked.

"What? You got into an accident? Are you hurt anywhere?" Dylan asked hurriedly and Yibo's eyes became teary again.

"My heart hurts." Yibo said and pointed to his heart.

Dylan didn't say anything. He didn't know what to say. He knew that something was wrong with Yibo but he didn't ask any question as he knew that Yibo would tell him himself when he would be comfortable. So, Dylan silently took out a first-aid box under the coffee table and started to treat the cut on Yibo's forehead silently.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Yibo asked.

"Because you are nice." Dylan said and Yibo shook his head.

"I am not nice. I am heartless. I am weird." Yibo said and tears were rolling down from his eyes.

"But for me, you are nice." Dylan said and kissed Yibo's forehead.

"Don't treat me like this. I am not a child. I have grown up. I am an adult." Yibo said and pushed Dylan away.

"You are an adult. But you are still struck in your childhood." Dylan thought but didn't say anything.

"Make a drink for me." Yibo ordered as he leaned his back on the couch.

"Yibo, you don't seem to have dinner and you said that you have three meetings back to back. I don't think you have anything today and you want to drink in empty stomach. Aren't you afraid of having stomache again?" Dylan asked while frowning.

"I can bear it." Yibo said and didn't wait for Dylan to make him a drink. He got up from the couch and took out a few bottles of beer from the small refrigerator of the room. Then he sat on the couch again, opened a bottle and started to drink. Dylan tried to stop him but Yibo didn't stop.

When Yibo started to get drunk, he said Dylan whatever happened in Wang Mansion.

"I didn't mean to vent my anger on Yixin. I didn't want to. But I was very angry when Yixin accused me that I hate him." Yibo said while pointing at himself.

"Tell me Dylan, did I do something to harm my brother? Did I do something to my parent's favorite son? Then how dare he accused me of something I didn't?" Yibo asked angrily and started to drink again.

"It's good that you vent your anger.  It's good that you let Yixin and your parents know how you truly feel about them." Dylan said. He was really glad that finally Yibo vented his emotions which he had been surpassing for a decade.

"I try to understand my parents. I try to understand them. I try to understand that Babs, Mama didn't abandon me. I understand that at that time, Baba didn't have any choice but sent me away for my safety. I understand that at that time, Baba's career was just blooming so he couldn't accompany me. I understand that, Mama doesn't have only me, she has two more children other than me. They were young at that time and Mama has to leave me take care of them. I understand that Yixin has nothing to do with my past. I understand everything. I try to understand everything. But I....." Yibo chocked as he was talking and crying.

"But a part of my heart doesn't want to it. It always tell me that my parents really abandoned me." Yibo said and drank a big gulp of beer directly from the bottle.
