Chapter 188: You Really Hate Me That Much? (1)

Things don’t get any clearer than that. He was handing out the business card completely for the sake of him having saved Su Yaya, and even promised that he could seek him out for help. To put it in a more straightforward way, he only cared about Su Yaya and did not want her to feel guilty, and that was why he offered such a promise.

After Su Yaya learned that Xu Chengkun had posted on Weibo to inform his fans that he was safe, she also reposted it and made a thank you post as well.

Then, Chen Xiuqi and Su Yaya stayed for a little while longer before they returned.

After returning to her ward, Chen Xiuqi carried Su Yaya back to bed.

Su Yaya was bored on the bed, so she said to Chen Xiuqi, “Let’s play some games.”

Chen Xiuqi looked at her and nodded. “Sure.”

So, the two of them logged into the game together. They invited a few teammates and did dungeons together, abusing bosses of all shapes and sizes.

“Haha, we won, we won!”

After playing a few rounds in a row, Su Yaya and Chen Xiuqi’s team won a great victory, which made Su Yaya very happy.

By the time she realized it, the sky had already turned dark.

Chen Xiuqi looked at the time. It was almost seven o’clock in the evening.

“It’s getting late. What do you want for dinner?” Chen Xiuqi asked.

Su Yaya responded, “I want beef with pickled peppers.”

Chen Xiuqi glared at her. “You still want to eat pickled pepper beef after being injured?”

“Then you tell me, what should I eat?” Su Yaya asked him instead.

Chen Xiuqi smiled and glanced over at her injured ankle, saying, “Why don’t you eat pig trotter soup? Whatever you eat nourishes whichever part, right?”

Su Yaya didn’t respond to it at first. Only after figuring out what he meant after a pause did she immediately yell in dissatisfaction, “You’re too much, Chen Xiuqi!”

You’re a pig trotter! Your entire family are pig trotters!

In the end, Chen Xiuqi did not actually ask Assistant Chen to buy pig trotter soup under her fierce resistance. He still cared about showing her respect after all. So, he got her mushroom and chicken soup.

Chen Xiuqi stayed with Su Yaya for dinner and accompanied her until it was quite late. At about 9 PM, her agent Zhou Peiyun finally arrived.

She entered the door in a huff, but seeing that Chen Xiuqi was here, she quickly greeted him before saying, “Sorry I came late. I was at X City and the weather was bad. The plane came late because of the rain and that was why it took me so long.”

Chen Xiuqi glanced at her and said, “Don’t worry about it. It’s good that you’ve come.”

Even though Zhou Peiyun said it in a flat tone, Zhou Peiyun still heard a hint of blame from it. As her agent, she was unable to rush over immediately even though something happened to her artist. It wasn’t professional of her. If Chen Xiuqi had anything to say about it, she could only accept it.

Zhou Peiyun carefully looked over to Su Yaya again and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine!” Su Yaya responded cheerfully. She didn’t look hurt at all.

Zhou Peiyun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Su Yaya was fine, Chen Xiuqi wouldn’t make things too hard for her.

“You should be more careful in the future, don’t go to dangerous places,” Zhou Peiyun said to her, worried.

Su Yaya had already been nagged by Chen Xiuqi today, then now it was Zhou Peiyun’s turn at it. So, she said to her, “Got it, understood. I won’t make you worry anymore in the future.”

After receiving her promise, Zhou Peiyun talked with Su Yaya for a while. When Su Yaya began to doze off, Chen Xiuqi said, “Let Yaya rest. We can talk about the rest later.”
