Chapter 247 Are You Crazy?!

On the way back, Zhao Yanan, feeling restless, couldn't help but ask, "What did you actually say to my dad?"

Chu Yuxuan replied, "I made a vow."

Zhao Yanan: ???

"At the wedding, don't you have to make a vow to the father-in-law? I made one today, a vow that would make even the heavens tremble. If I break it, I'll go meet Thunder God in person."

Zhao Yanan: ...

"My dad said, let us live well, and that I should love you, pamper you, and be tolerant of you."

Zhao Yanan: "My dad wouldn't say that."

Chu Yuxuan: "He really said that, not a word was changed."

Zhao Yanan: "That doesn't sound like my dad."

Chu Yuxuan: "He also said we should have a baby soon."

Zhao Yanan: "My dad..."

Realizing she was being misled, Zhao Yanan shot Chu Yuxuan a glare and muttered, "Shameless."

Chu Yuxuan grinned widely and suddenly said, "Honey, can I get a kiss?"

Zhao Yanan's eyes widened, and she pinched him hard on the waist, saying angrily, "Are you crazy? Always so inappropriate..."

Chu Yuxuan pretended to be aggrieved: "We kissed so well last night... Don't you want to be responsible?"

Zhao Yanan: "Don't think you can just get your way with me. Your nonsense is getting ridiculous."

"Alright, alright, I'll wait until tonight for the kiss."

"Go to hell! Don't come into my room tonight, shameless..."

"Okay, then I'll wait until tomorrow night."

Zhao Yanan: ...

After returning home, the couple joked around for a while. When Chu Yuxuan confidently walked into the kitchen, Zhao Yanan was momentarily stunned, then shyly followed him. "Tonight, I'll cook."

Chu Yuxuan was taken aback: "Huh? Are you sure?"

Zhao Yanan pouted, snatched the apron from Chu Yuxuan, and said, "Go out, don't disturb me."

Chu Yuxuan was pleased and was about to say something nice when the doorbell suddenly rang.

"I'll get it." Chu Yuxuan said, stepping out of the kitchen to open the door.

Surprise!

As soon as the door opened, a bouquet of flowers was thrust into Chu Yuxuan's face. Zhou Xiaoruo and Liu Kai stood at the door. Zhou Xiaoruo held the flowers, and Liu Kai carried a bottle of wine and a large bag of food.

Upon seeing Chu Yuxuan, their expressions froze.

Chu Yuxuan glanced at Liu Kai, then at the quirky Dr. Zhou, and said with a smile, "Surprise? What's the surprise?"

Zhou Xiaoruo smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you're here too. Uh, today is Uncle Zhao's birthday. We were worried Yanan might be in a bad mood, so we thought we'd come and keep her company."

Liu Kai, with a delicate gesture and a timid tone, added, "Yes, yes, we didn't know you'd be here. If we had known, we wouldn't have disturbed you. Hehe."

Chu Yuxuan thought he couldn't let these two spoil his wife's rare opportunity to cook, so he was ready to come up with an excuse to send them away. However, before he could speak, Zhao Yanan hurried over, "What are you two doing here? Yuxuan, let them in."

"Oh, come in quickly." Chu Yuxuan made a welcoming gesture, but his eyes were filled with warning.

Zhou Xiaoruo swallowed, seeing Zhao Yanan still in her apron, looking even more incredulous. She handed the flowers to Zhao Yanan with an awkward smile, "Yanan, I just remembered I have something to do, so... I'll stay out."

Liu Kai: "Me too. I just returned to Jiangcheng this afternoon and haven't had a chance to eat with my family, so... I'll stay out as well."

Zhao Yanan felt speechless and, after a moment of internal debate, decided it wouldn't be polite to ruin Chu Yuxuan's plan since he had promised to cook. She said, "Then let's have dinner together tomorrow night. Liu Kai, it would be nice if you had let us know beforehand."

Liu Kai: "I wanted to give you a surprise..." He smiled, "Then we'll leave now."

Zhao Yanan: "Alright, see you tomorrow night."

Zhou Xiaoruo waved goodbye and gave Chu Yuxuan a look of courage.

Chu Yuxuan raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

Just then, the fourth brother, who had just finished his errands, came back carrying a bag of ribs Chu Yuxuan had asked him to buy. As the elevator doors opened, he ran into Zhou Xiaoruo.

"Oh?" Zhou Xiaoruo's eyes lit up. "Pu Pucheng! Where have you been these past few days? Why didn't you answer my calls? Ah?!"

Fourth Brother: ...

Zhou Xiaoruo looked at the ribs in his hand, then her eyes widened as if she had discovered something terrible. "Pu Pucheng, you've been dismembering small animals! This is getting worse. You need treatment immediately!"

She said, grabbing Fourth Brother's arm.

Fourth Brother: "Oh, please... Crazy woman!"

Chu Yuxuan tried not to laugh, taking the ribs from Fourth Brother and said with a straight face, "Old Pu, go get treated. This matter can't be delayed."

Fourth Brother: ...

After finishing the treatment at the clinic, it was already 8 PM.

Although Zhou Xiaoruo's motives were questionable, seeing no improvement in Fourth Brother's condition, she still felt disheartened and said, "Pu Pucheng, I really feel like a failure..."

Fourth Brother calmly blinked: "It's not your fault; I had no expectations."

Zhou Xiaoruo pitifully said, "Then please treat me to a meal to heal my wounded soul."

Fourth Brother: ...

They went to the Korean restaurant they had visited before.

After the meal, Zhou Xiaoruo shamelessly asked Fourth Brother to take her home. "There's a flasher in the area. I ran into him the night before, and it scared me."

Fourth Brother: "Stop acting coy; it's a bit nauseating."

Zhou Xiaoruo: "You... Are you really going to refuse? It's late at night, and I'm genuinely scared!"

Fourth Brother glanced at her and was about to speak when he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes watching him from a dark corner!

As an agent, his instincts were sharp. He looked up and saw a figure quickly disappearing around the corner.

His first reaction was that it was someone from Tianji Society. After all, besides Tianji Society, no one else knew their brothers' skills and would be watching him. He took out his phone, called Chu Yuxuan, and ran around the corner to chase the figure.

Zhou Xiaoruo: ???

"Are you crazy! What are you running for? If you don't want to send me, just say so!"
