Capítulo 92: Chapter 92 A Different Kind of Romance
Zhou Xiaoruo reflected on the scene in the morning where Chu Yuxuan shook hands with Zhao Yanan. She couldn't quite determine whether she was happy or worried. "Nanan, I really want to cure your illness, but... not with Chu Yuxuan! He's too flirtatious; you can't just throw yourself into the fire!"
"What are you thinking?" Zhao Yanan pouted. "You should focus on curing me as soon as possible. I'm already 25. If we don't get it sorted soon, I might end up becoming a nun."
"There's something wrong, Zhao Yanan. You've changed so much! You used to be impatient when Chu Yuxuan was mentioned, but now... Besides, the things that man did tonight are not good for your company! Aren't you angry? This is really not right!"
Zhao Yanan waved her hand. "There's nothing wrong. You know my condition; I can't feel anything for men. What happened tonight doesn't count as trouble. On the contrary, it might earn Qingya some patriotic goodwill. Why should I be angry? Besides, no matter who he's related to, once things have escalated this far, even the gods can't save him. His connections might even avoid him now. Why should I be afraid of him retaliating against Qingya?"
As she spoke, Zhao Yanan picked up her phone and dialed the PR department head. "I remember that the employee benefits mentioned by President Chu on his first day were posted by the administrative head Zhang. Take a photo and post it online under the pretext of recruitment. Among those benefits is the reward of 'a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment in the city center for children admitted to the National University of Defense Technology.' The date is the same as the day Chu Yuxuan took office. Combined with Chu Yuxuan's remarks in the show tonight about 'shoe-hitting traitors,' it won't seem like a deliberate attempt to create sentiment, and it will undoubtedly help Qingya earn a wave of patriotic praise."
Zhou Xiaoruo pondered and took Zhao Yanan's hand, saying seriously, "Give me some time; I will definitely cure you! But... I hope you stay away from Chu Yuxuan. Nanan, he's too frivolous. And maybe you haven't noticed, but your attitude towards him has really changed. No, it's a huge change."
Zhao Yanan was a bit speechless. In fact, since learning that Chu Yuxuan also had psychological issues, she had developed a subtle sense of sympathy for him, even feeling a bit sorry for his abusive experiences. Moreover, although she didn't initially like Chu Yuxuan, he had been there to shield her whenever she faced trouble. Over time, the grudge she held against him for his sharp tongue had naturally dissipated.
And recently, it seemed he wanted to help her overcome her psychological barriers, always finding an excuse to shake her hand whenever they met. Though he didn't state it directly, she couldn't miss the intention behind it, which inevitably warmed her heart.
But ultimately, this change in her view of Chu Yuxuan was still only at the level of friendship; it was nowhere near as serious as Zhou Xiaoruo thought.
"Don't worry so much. It's impossible for me and him. Setting aside everything else, think about it. He's the young master of Chu's family. Even though he's a b*st*rd, he's still a Chu. Not only am I not worthy of him now, even before, Zhao's family wouldn't have been a match for him."
Zhou Xiaoruo said, "That's good to hear... Even if I'm afraid of him, I will never allow him to bully you!"
At 10:30 PM, Chu Yuxuan returned home. After hesitating for a moment outside the elevator, he rang Zhao Yanan's doorbell.
Soon, Zhao Yanan opened the door, looked at Chu Yuxuan, blinked, and without saying a word or inviting him in, stood expressionlessly at the door.
"Feeling any better?" Chu Yuxuan asked, his lips moving slightly.
"Mm." Zhao Yanan nodded. "The fever has gone down, but my throat is still a bit uncomfortable."
Chu Yuxuan smiled, paused for a moment, and said, "I think I need to apologize to you. It seems I've caused you trouble again."
Zhao Yanan lightly bit her lower lip and shook her head. "No, Director Song just called and said the program team will support you."
"That's good... Are you alone?" Chu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Liu Kai had something to do, and Xiaoruo went to help him."
Chu Yuxuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Can you manage alone? Or..."
"It's getting late..." Zhao Yanan said, somewhat awkwardly, and interrupted, "I... I need to go to sleep."
Chu Yuxuan seemed a bit disappointed. After taking a breath, he extended his hand and said, "Good night."
Zhao Yanan, inexplicably a bit shy, lightly shook Chu Yuxuan's hand and said, "Good night."
After closing the door, the beautiful CEO stood behind it, unconsciously smiling as she stared at her palm and muttered, "Thank you."
The young master who was turned away appeared refreshed, strolling back to his home, reflecting on Zhao Yanan's slightly shy expression and feeling a flutter in his heart.
It was the first time he had seen his wife so relaxed and slightly shy.
A different kind of romance.
On the other side, Ai Dajing had fallen out with the program team and wanted to rush back to B-city overnight, only to be told by his assistant that it was too late to get a ticket and that he could only buy a flight for the next morning.
Helpless, the public figure had to return to the hotel and contact his connections, trying to see if he could suppress his negative publicity.
However, it seemed that all his connections were in agreement, giving him a uniform response: "Difficult."
Even some of his close friends didn't answer his calls.
The human heart is fickle and the world is cold; it has always been this way.
Ai Dajing felt helpless, realizing that it might be impossible to turn things around. The more he thought about Chu's young master, the angrier he became, wishing that this were Beijing so he could deal with him thoroughly!
Suddenly, a deep-seated grudge spread in his heart, and he thought of an old acquaintance from Jiangcheng...
After some consideration, Ai Dajing took out his phone, found a contact labeled "Hacker," and dialed the number.
"Hello! Old Ai, what made you think of me all of a sudden?" The voice on the other end was noisy, probably from a bar.
Ai Dajing laughed. "I'm recording a show in Jiangcheng. Just finished and thought I'd have a drink with you."
"Hey! Why didn't you give me a heads-up? Have our feelings grown so distant? You're really something, Old Ai!"
"Alright, alright, enough with the complaints. Understand, it's just that I've been too busy with work... Are you free now? Let's meet up somewhere. It's been a while since we last saw each other."
"Of course! I'll send you the location. Come over now! We have plenty of girls here, hahaha."
