Chapter 214 Annoying Guy

When the car stopped in front of City First Hospital, Chu Yuxuan was already asleep.

Old Five glanced at him and said to Old Four, "I'll go to the hospital. You guys head back."

As soon as he opened the car door, Chu Yuxuan woke up with a start.

"We're at the hospital?" Chu Yuxuan asked, his voice hoarse.

Old Five looked at his pale face, frowned, and said, "Big Brother, you should go back and rest."

Chu Yuxuan took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Alright. Tell your sister-in-law to go back to the villa early; I won't go up."

He didn't want Zhao Yanan to see him in such a worn-out state. There's an old saying about "heartache being hard to cure," and the persistent nightmares almost drained him every time they were triggered. Once he returned to the Emerald Lake, Chu Yuxuan took a hot shower, took two pills, and fell into a deep sleep.

But less than two hours later, he was jolted awake by a nightmare, sitting on the bed, sweating profusely, and catching his breath. Turning his head, he found Zhao Yanan sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Chu Yuxuan was momentarily stunned. He stared at his wife and then, while feeling puzzled, got out of bed and gently lifted Zhao Yanan, carefully placing her on the bed.

The ice beauty had not slept well for two days, her face was somewhat pale, and her dark circles were heavy. Chu Yuxuan covered her with a blanket and softly stroked her cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Seeing that she showed no response, his wicked thoughts began to rise. He slowly leaned in and kissed her a few times, feeling secretly pleased but still not satisfied, so he boldly leaned in again. However, just as he was kissing her, Zhao Yanan groggily opened her eyes.

Feeling the softness on her lips, Zhao Yanan shuddered, her eyes wide open.

"Yanan, can you, um, let me explain?" Chu Yuxuan instinctively held her hands down, his gaze blank.

"Chu Yuxuan!" Zhao Yanan broke free from Chu Yuxuan's grasp, raised her hand, and just as it was about to hit his face, her hand suddenly froze. After a brief pause, she grabbed Chu Yuxuan's ear and angrily said, "Do you have no shame? Huh? No shame at all!"

Chu Yuxuan winced as his ear was twisted painfully and said with a grimace, "I just gave you a kiss… Okay, okay, it hurts, it hurts."

Zhao Yanan twisted his ear again before letting go in frustration. She propped herself up and said indignantly, "How can you be so shameless? You, you're too much!"

Chu Yuxuan gave a sheepish smile and quickly changed the subject, "Honey, why are you here? Did you miss me?"

Zhao Yanan gave him a resentful look and said coldly, "Stop showing off!"

Actually, seeing Old Five go to the hospital, Zhao Yanan understood his relationship with Jin Shuhan and decided to give them some private space. She originally planned to go back to the villa, but after seeing Chu Yuxuan's distressing condition yesterday, she felt uneasy and wanted to check on him. Moreover, she wanted to ask Chu Yuxuan how to deal with Xue Can, so she came directly to Emerald Lake.

Chu Yuxuan pretended to be surprised, "You've been here a while, haven't you? Why didn't you wake me?"

Zhao Yanan ignored him and angrily tried to get out of bed.

Chu Yuxuan quickly grabbed her hand, "Okay, okay, don't be mad. I'll reflect, I admit my mistake, and I apologize." Zhao Yanan pulled her hand away, looking at him with disdain, "I'm leaving… Annoying guy!"

Chu Yuxuan didn't stop her and quickly got out of bed, rushing out of the bedroom. This strange behavior left Zhao Yanan looking bewildered.

After a while, Chu Yuxuan returned to the bedroom, looking serious. "The driver and servants are gone. Really, I don't know what they were doing… I'll have Chu Zhiqing scold them later for being so irresponsible."

Zhao Yanan: …

Chu Yuxuan, with a smirk, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Look, my big beauty is almost becoming a yellow-faced woman. Hurry, get some more sleep." Zhao Yanan was both angry and helpless, "Can't you have a little shame?"

Chu Yuxuan replied, "What's the point of that? You should lie down. Look how exhausted you are… Don't worry, when I said 'get some sleep,' I meant it as a noun, not a verb."

Zhao Yanan took a deep breath, rolling her eyes in frustration.

"I'll sleep in another room."

"There are no vacant rooms."

"I'll sleep on the sofa."

Just as she finished speaking, Chu Yuxuan picked up a cup from the bedside table and poured the water onto the sofa.

Zhao Yanan was dumbfounded, "This shameless jerk isn't even pretending anymore?!"

"I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room!"

Chu Yuxuan sighed lightly, "Lady, do you have to force me to wet all the sofas? It's quite troublesome."

"Then you figure it out yourself! I'm sleeping here!"

"Alright." Chu Yuxuan eagerly pounced on the bed.

"Chu Yuxuan!" Zhao Yanan tensed up, instinctively placing her hand on Chu Yuxuan's chest, looking somewhat panicked.

"Didn't you ask me to figure out a solution? Well, this is the only solution I could think of…" Chu Yuxuan turned over, leaning against Zhao Yanan at the head of the bed, with a grin on his face.

Zhao Yanan couldn't suppress the discomfort caused by her psychological state and moved away slightly, coldly saying, "Shameless…"

Chu Yuxuan covered her with a blanket, smiling, "Sleep peacefully. I swear I won't do anything inappropriate… Wife, I won't act up until you've recovered from your previous issues."
