Chapter 149 The Sun Rising from the West

Mrs. Xue held Xue Can in her arms, glaring at her eldest son, and sternly said, "Get out!"

"Are you still spoiling him? Huh? Look at what he's become today, it's all because of your indulgence!"

With that, the eldest son raised his baseball bat and pointed it at Xue Can, "I warn you, that Chu guy is not to be trifled with. Don't provoke him again! The supervision team is still in Jiangcheng. You better behave, or you'll drag the whole family down with you!"

"Get out!" Mrs. Xue yelled in a frenzy, pushing her eldest son out of the bedroom. She then returned to Xue Can's side, checking on him with concern and tenderness. Seeing that he wasn't too badly injured, she finally sighed in relief and handed him a bank card, "Can Can, don't be unhappy. Go out and relax with your friends. If you need more, just call Mom..."

Xue Can took the card, licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and grinned ominously.

After his mother left, Xue Can stretched lazily and then called Situ Jingyao.

"Yao Yao, you were the one who tipped off my dad last night, weren't you?"

Situ Jingyao showed no interest, "Why don't you ask your dad?"

"Heh... Afraid I'll bully your crush, huh?"

Situ Jingyao took a breath, "Xue Can, stop being so childish. Just listen to your dad... If there's another time, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Xue Can angrily retorted, "I just don't get it. What's so good about him? What makes him better than me!"

Situ Jingyao didn't hold back, "Your control and possessiveness are really perverse! Xue Can, let me say it again—there's nothing between Chu Yuxuan and me. I don't like him! But regardless, I like you even less. You disgust me!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

Xue Can's eyes darkened, his fists clenched as he ground his teeth and said, "Chu Yuxuan! If I can't kill you, I'll change my surname!"

Having been scolded by the person he had admired for years, berated by his father, and beaten by his older brother, though he had brought it upon himself, the frustration was hard to swallow!

After returning home, Chu Yuxuan gave instructions to Old Four and Old Three about the equipment pickup that evening, and then went to Zhao Yanan's house. Xiao Qing, wearing an apron, opened the door and asked with concern, "Young Master, how's your injury?"

"It's fine..." Chu Yuxuan smiled and said, "Cooking?"

"Yes!" Xiao Qing stepped aside to let Chu Yuxuan in, "I'm making chicken soup to help you and the missus recover."

"That's thoughtful of you." Chu Yuxuan said as his gaze fell on Zhao Yanan, who was sitting on the sofa.

Zhao Yanan's complexion was still a bit off. She was reading emails on her computer. Seeing Chu Yuxuan come back, she sighed with relief, "You're back."

"Yeah... Did you miss me?" Chu Yuxuan asked with a mischievous smile, walking over.

Zhao Yanan pressed her lips together and asked, "Did you call the police?"

Chu Yuxuan shook his head, "Chu Zhijing said he would handle it."

"That's good."

As Zhao Yanan continued to edit the email she had started earlier, Chu Yuxuan sat beside her, observing her pale face and swollen ankle. He gently offered, "Shall I carry you to the bedroom?"

Zhao Yanan turned to look at him with a strange expression.

Chu Yuxuan said, "I'm not doing anything... I just thought you should rest."

Zhao Yanan glared at him and said with a hint of resentment, "My boss is a hands-off type. There's a mountain of things waiting for me to handle."

"Your boss is really a jerk."

Zhao Yanan: ...

"Heh..." Chu Yuxuan laughed, saying nonsensically, "Nanan, I didn't brush my teeth this morning."

Zhao Yanan: ?

Chu Yuxuan licked his lips, "It's quite sweet."

"You..." Zhao Yanan's mind immediately flashed back to the scene of being tricked into a kiss by Chu Yuxuan last night. She said crossly, "Shameless! Disgusting!" Little did she know, her dog of a husband was referring to more than just that kiss.

Chu Yuxuan said, "It was your first kiss. How could I bear to brush it away?"

"Don't talk to me!"

Chu Yuxuan mischievously laughed for a while and then suddenly closed the notebook on the coffee table, stating seriously, "Ms. Zhao, from now on, you're on mandatory rest."

"Chu Yuxuan!" Zhao Yanan was enraged, "What are you doing? The marketing department is waiting for my approval!"

"Let them wait. The Earth won't stop spinning without you. You should rest well. I'll go to the office early tomorrow and work diligently," Chu Yuxuan said, ignoring her angry look. "The sun must be rising from the west today!"

Chu Yuxuan said nonchalantly, "I'm just concerned about you..."

Zhao Yanan said, "You work sporadically. Do you think you look like someone who can work diligently?"

Chu Yuxuan replied seriously, "I'm very persistent."

Zhao Yanan: ...

"Don't doubt it," Chu Yuxuan said, "When I get serious about work, I'll be the kind who passes by home without stopping. If you don't see me every day, don't miss me too much."

Zhao Yanan huffed, "I'll look forward to seeing how long you can keep it up!"

Chu Yuxuan casually replied, "It's a promise! If I perform well, maybe a kiss or something..."

"Get lost!"

"You see, you're such a pretty girl, but you're like a gas can—easily ignited..."

"Can't you not provoke me?"

The couple, one being cheeky and the other sulking, teased each other for a while. Chu Yuxuan's expression gradually became serious as he suddenly asked, "Nanan, do you regret marrying me?"

Zhao Yanan was taken aback and frowned, "Why do you ask?"

"I just... want to know."

Zhao Yanan averted her gaze and said, "What's there to regret? After all... it's all fake."

"Fake?" Chu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow, "If three years from now I don't agree to a divorce, not even the King of Heaven can change the fact that we're real! You don't think you can just divorce me, do you? Tsk, delusional."

Zhao Yanan looked at his "I've got you" expression and said coolly, "You'll regret it then."

Chu Yuxuan took her hand and said earnestly, "I won't, not ever."

Zhao Yanan looked at her hand being held by Chu Yuxuan for about five seconds before awkwardly pulling it away, "Liar, you're such a big liar."

"Then I'll lie to you for a lifetime."

Zhao Yanan's cheeks flushed slightly. She changed the topic, "I... I need to reply to an urgent email from the marketing department."

"Okay... Sure." Chu Yuxuan nodded and felt a secret joy at the extra two seconds. He leisurely went to the kitchen.

After closing the kitchen door, Chu Yuxuan immediately moved close to Xiao Qing and said in a low voice, "Girl, I'll take care of Nanan this afternoon. You and Old Three go back to Jade Lake and get some change of clothes. Don't forget to bring the guns... From today on, you'll stay here, and Old Three will stay at my place. You both must protect the missus. I'll temporarily stay at Jade Lake and won't return here."

"Understood, Young Master."
