After Falling for the Handsome CEO - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Yan Yu, What Kind of Damn Man Are You?!

He had a beautiful dream, and he was still in it… while Yan Yu was outside of it.

Bai Yujin stood to the side, looking at Shen Jin’s pale face. He watched as the other man deliberately lowered his eyelids, unwilling to let anyone see the grief and disappointment in his eyes, even turning his head slightly to hide the moisture at the corners of his vision…

Now in his twenties, Bai Yujin had certainly been in love before, but his relationships had always ended amicably without anything soul-searing. Thus, he couldn’t understand why Shen Jin would be so heartbroken over someone who didn’t love him back.

After all, when it comes to feelings, they cannot be forced.

“When I found you, the tears you’d shed could have practically flooded your house,” Bai Yujin exhaled, pulling out a few tissues and handing them to him. He said softly, “So, stop crying…”

Shen Jin bit his lip, struggling to squeeze out a smile. “I’m not crying…”

He knew that Bai Yujin had been the one taking care of him during his hospitalization, helping him handle the fees and paperwork. His heart was filled with gratitude; he felt more than ever that Bai Yujin was a rare and precious friend…

Very few people had ever treated him this well. There had been one… but that person had only made him more miserable.

After eating a little food, Shen Jin lay in bed and opened the phone Bai Yujin had brought for him. He saw the number he had dialed—and which had been disconnected—just before he collapsed.

He gave a bitter smile and muttered to himself, “Has it really come to the point where he won’t even answer a single call…?”

When he closed his eyes, his mind vividly replayed the man’s brutal treatment of him in bed that night, the naked disgust in his eyes, and the words he spat out—words that were cutting to the extreme.

Yan Yu had called him filthy, called him disgusting, and accused him of being willing to climb into any man’s bed for money…

…

As Bai Yujin was leaving the hospital, he ran into Yan Yu, who was carefully supporting Xie Li. They were sitting nearby waiting, presumably there for a routine check-up. Yan Yu was gentle in his every movement toward Xie Li.

Bai Yujin froze for a moment, thinking of Shen Jin—half-dead and collapsed in that dilapidated house with no one to care for him. His heart felt an endless ache of pity.

He thought: If Yan Yu could give even a fraction of the concern he shows Xie Li to Shen Jin, would the latter be lying in a hospital bed right now, barely conscious?

Just then, a nurse passed by and greeted him with a smile: “Hello, President Bai.”

Because of this simple address, the attention of both Xie Li and Yan Yu was instantly drawn over.

Xie Li reacted quickly, forcing a surprised smile. “To run into President Bai even here, what a coincidence. Are you here to visit someone?”

Bai Yujin felt a nameless surge of rage toward Yan Yu. Originally, he didn’t want to exchange words with them, but since Xie Li had spoken first, he had to suppress his displeasure. He gave a slight smile. “Yes, quite a coincidence.”

Bai Yujin didn’t know when he had ever offended Yan Yu, but the latter squeezed out a fake smile: “I wonder who is fortunate enough to receive President Bai’s favor and merit a personal visit?”

Bai Yujin didn’t show any impoliteness, simply curling his lips into an elegant smile. “Perish the thought. At the very least, they won’t be receiving President Yan’s ‘favor,’ that’s for sure.”

After speaking, he looked down at his watch. Having formed a new opinion of this “President Yan,” he was unwilling to waste more breath. He smiled. “I have matters to attend to, so I’ll be going now. Excuse me.”

The moment he saw Bai Yujin, Yan Yu’s stomach was churning with a fire he could barely restrain. If he didn’t have to worry about appearances, he truly wanted to give Bai Yujin a savage beating.

He wanted to wake him up to the fact that some people, even if they were “worthless,” were still playthings within his grasp—not to be easily defiled by others…

At the thought of Shen Jin’s pale, thin body bearing those purple and red marks because of this man…

Yan Yu wanted nothing more than to pin Bai Yujin to the ground and punch the life out of him! Even then, the fire in his heart wouldn’t easily dissipate!

Especially that shameless Shen Jin—how could he!!

Anger surged uncontrollably. Yan Yu narrowed his eyes, his teeth nearly grinding to dust, before he forced out a sentence: “Some things and some people have been played with ruthlessly by others. If President Bai wants to use them afterward, I hope you don’t find them too filthy…”

Bai Yujin’s departing steps stopped instantly. His entire face went cold. He turned back with a hollow expression, his words hissed through gritted teeth: “Who are you calling filthy?”

At this hour, there weren’t many people in the hospital, so no one specifically noticed the confrontation, though Xie Li could feel the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Xie Li quickly tugged at Yan Yu’s arm, saying with a smile, “What are you two saying? Calm down. If there’s something to say, say it properly. Don’t pull such faces!”

At this point, Yan Yu couldn’t be calm at all. He let out a cold laugh. “Would President Bai not know who I’m talking about? Or have you been deceived by that face of innocence? That would be truly stupid! I can tell you plainly: for money, he is willing to crawl into anyone’s bed!! He is just that disgusting—!”

“SLAP—”

A loud slapping sound rang out. Bai Yujin had rushed in front of him. After delivering a harsh slap, he swung his fist and smashed it into Yan Yu’s face!

Bai Yujin roared, “Who the hell are you calling disgusting?!”

Yan Yu was stunned—first by the stinging slap and then by the heavy blow of the fist. He froze for a second; he never imagined that in his entire life, he would be slapped in the face!!

“Bai Yujin!!”

The blood in Yan Yu’s body boiled instantly. Veins bulged on his forehead as his face flushed red with rage. He lunged up, grabbing Bai Yujin by the collar, and swung a fist back with all his might!

Xie Li’s face went pale. He never expected two high-profile men to ignore their reputations and start brawling. He tried to pull Yan Yu back, but Yan Yu impatiently shoved him away, shouting, “Get the hell away from me!”

Xie Li was stunned by the shout, his face turning shades of blue and purple with extreme embarrassment. He hadn’t expected Yan Yu to fight Bai Yujin so recklessly over Shen Jin—and even tell him to get lost?!

After a moment of daze, Xie Li looked at the two men locked in a struggle and cried out toward the door, “Security! Security! Come quickly and separate them!”

Yan Yu ignored it all, brawling furiously with Bai Yujin, cursing, “I said he’s disgusting, so what! Is he your kept lover? Are you that protective of him!”

Bai Yujin: “What the hell are you talking about?!”

Yan Yu sneered, “Heh! Brave enough to do it but not brave enough to admit it, is that it!”

Bai Yujin usually had a good temper, but he could no longer tolerate Yan Yu. He slammed a heavy fist into Yan Yu’s face and roared, “Yan Yu, oh Yan Yu! You’re the one who makes me the most disgusted! Eating from your own bowl while staring at the pot! What kind of damn man are you!!”
