Chapter 91 A Headache

At Zhao Yanan's home, the living room TV had just been showing a famous scene of Chu Yuxuan from the show. Although it had already switched to an advertisement, the psychiatrist, who had a ridiculously low sense of humor, was still laughing uncontrollably on the sofa.

Zhao Yanan, in the bedroom, was awoken by the sound of the psychiatrist's crazed laughter. Rubbing her eyes, she wearily walked out of the bedroom and said resentfully, "Hey, is this how you take care of patients?"

After a day of rest, the beautiful president's face finally showed some color, though her lips were still somewhat chapped from the fever. "Ah! Did I wake you?" Zhou Xiaoruo, wearing slippers, hurried over with concern. "How are you feeling now?"

Zhao Yanan swallowed hard, walked towards the sofa, and said, "Thanks to you, I'm still alive." Seeing her best friend opening the drawer of the coffee table to look for medicine, Zhou Xiaoruo quickly poured a glass of water and said, "Here, take your medicine."

After Zhao Yanan took the medicine and placed the glass on the coffee table, she stared at the TV and asked, "What are you watching? Laughing like an idiot."

"Pfft… hahaha!" Zhou Xiaoruo couldn't help laughing again. "Nannan, I think you'll definitely regret letting your dog of a man participate in the show. He… hahaha! Not only did he insult the host and confront that public intellectual, but he also exposed all the dirt on him and, in the end, smashed his face with his shoe. My God! Is this something a normal person would do? The show has even been interrupted; look, it's switched to an ad."

Hearing this, Zhao Yanan felt a sudden dizziness. Just this morning, she had asked him to tone it down, and this was how he toned it down?!

After some mental preparation, Zhao Yanan took the tablet from the sofa, searched for the live broadcast recording of the night, and rubbed her throbbing temples, feeling anxious.

Zhou Xiaoruo said, "Nannan, personally, I think your man did nothing wrong tonight. Don't you know? That Ai Daqing, usually acts all high and mighty, pretending to be a scholarly person, but Chu Yuxuan exposed him as a traitor. He's a clear-cut traitor! Not to mention Chu Yuxuan, even I want to kick him!"

Zhao Yanan looked coldly at the screen, refreshing for a while until she finally found a video uploaded by a content creator.

When she opened the video, Chu Yuxuan was initially quiet, while the public intellectual next to him occasionally provoked him. However, Chu Yuxuan did not retaliate and seemed indifferent. Some bullet comments even said, "What's he pretending for? Mr. Ai is a scholar from a scholarly family; he should look down on this rich second generation!"

Zhao Yanan could see that Chu Yuxuan's lack of response was a deliberate choice to avoid commenting unnecessarily. This was well executed; otherwise, considering the recent case of a new actress criticizing a talented veteran singer, she would have brought unnecessary trouble upon herself.

But it seemed that Ai Daqing deliberately tried to embarrass Chu Yuxuan. It was frustrating because Ai Daqing had previously requested her contact information under the guise of collaboration. Given his status and connections in the industry, Zhao Yanan had been reluctant to refuse. However, since adding him on WeChat, Ai Daqing had been sending messages, flaunting his literary talent as if to say, "Aren't I good with words? Let's meet up."

Zhao Yanan had dismissed him as "crazy," and although she didn't want to berate him, she had to at least read his messages.

Honestly, for a woman striving to build a career, she encounters all sorts of troublemakers and obstacles, unless she has a background that no one dares to provoke. Though Zhao Yanan relied on Chu Men now, she was not the type to easily seek a powerful backer for help. Moreover, she wasn't close to Chu Yuxuan, and it was only a few annoying WeChat messages, so it didn't warrant a big fuss.

What confused her was why Ai Daqing had to provoke Chu Yuxuan. And how did Chu Yuxuan know so much dirt about this public intellectual? She had been in the industry for so long and had never heard of it before.

It was likely that Chu Yuxuan had done some digging. But what was his purpose? Just because Ai Daqing sent her a harassing message?

It couldn't be that petty…

Zhao Yanan frowned. She sensed that Chu Yuxuan seemed to have some thoughts about her, but with his flirtatious nature, he probably had such thoughts about any woman.

Previously, Chu Zhiqing had told her that Chu Yuxuan's playboy behavior was just for show. She was half convinced. Later, she overheard a conversation between two influencers saying Chu Yuxuan was "incompetent." At the time, she wondered if Chu Yuxuan was really pretending. But then she thought, what man has such great self-control? If naked and sent to bed, could he really hold back? Especially after drinking…

So, Zhao Yanan figured Chu Yuxuan might indeed be genuinely incompetent and could only indulge in hugging and cuddling each day. Or maybe he was just "too drained," unable to perform after drinking.

Seeing her best friend deep in thought and frowning, Zhou Xiaoruo guessed she was probably upset. Although that dog of a man had done something satisfying, it would undoubtedly impact Qingya. After all, who would dare to cooperate easily with her in the future if a good show was ruined like this?

So she dared not laugh anymore and said gently, "Nannan, since it's already happened, you…"

Before she could finish, Zhao Yanan unexpectedly burst into laughter, pointing at Chu Yuxuan on the screen and laughing, "Is he crazy? Why does he confront everyone? It's normal for hosts to play the victim for actors, but he embarrassed the host so much, hahaha…"

"Why did he use a shoe to hit him? I'd do that to my son… No, I wouldn't even hit my son in the face! Xiaoruo, do you think he's crazy? He's like a hooligan! Hahaha… so funny!"

"Xiaoruo, remember I told you that on the day of our wedding, he offended all the guests, especially Chu Men's people. He confronted everyone, his mouth seemed borrowed, never stopping…"

"How can there be such shameless scum in the world? Hahaha…"

Zhou Xiaoruo was stunned, watching the beauty, who hadn't laughed this heartily in a long time. She reached out and touched Zhao Yanan's forehead, mumbling, "You're feverish… Oh no, did your brain get fried?"

"Get out of here!" Zhao Yanan slightly restrained her laughter, coughed a few times, and after drinking some water, said with a smile, "I just think he's really funny. Almost thirty, yet he's so childish, like a rebellious youth, always ready to fight. How can someone like this exist… really a headache."

Zhou Xiaoruo was astonished, "I think you're the one giving me a headache now! Nannan, you wouldn't have developed feelings for him, would you? Has your illness improved?"

Zhao Yanan put the tablet aside and shook her head, "No, I just think he's hilarious."
