Chapter 11: Chen Yu's Level of Idioms

Translator: 549690339

Xia Weiwei knew Xia Yangyang wasn't just trying to scare her. The man at the press conference was indeed a temporary actor hired to embarrass Xia Yangyang. Director Yang was furious about the incident, especially since Chen Yu was injured as a result. Chen Yu, unlike Xia Yangyang, wasn't a pushover. If he knew she was responsible for his injury and hospitalization, and that he'd defended her, she might well be kicked off the crew, as Xia Yangyang had threatened.

Xia Weiwei demanded, "Xia Yangyang, what do you want?"

Xia Yangyang replied, "I'll keep this leverage. If you act up again, your reputation will be ruined before you even debut."

"Xia Yangyang, you wouldn't dare!"

"Watch me!"

Xia Weiwei, furious, dug her nails into her palm and stormed off in a huff. Lu Yao, observing from beside Xia Yangyang, thought Xia Weiwei was foolish to underestimate her. Xia Yangyang's aura was strong, her composure and breeding giving her a regal air. She truly was a lady of distinguished family.

Later that evening, Xia Yangyang visited Chen Yu in the hospital. He sat quietly on his bed, lost in thought, seemingly oblivious to her knock. When she entered, he turned, his displeasure evident. "What are you doing here?"

Xia Yangyang asked, "Chen Yu, are you angry with me?" She'd noticed his silence at the press conference.

"Of course I'm angry," he retorted.

"Why? Did I offend you?"

"You're married, yes, but why Gu Qichen?" He could handle most rivals, but Gu Qichen was different.

Xia Yangyang found this amusing. She knew he was angry, but not why. Her marriage was none of his business.

Approaching him, she said seriously, "Chen Yu, do you have a grudge against Gu Qichen? Are you blaming me? He's his own person, and so am I. Don't let your emotions control you, idiot!"

Chen Yu ignored her, turning his back.

Xia Yangyang continued, "Regardless, thank you for stepping in at the conference. Otherwise, I'd be the one in this bed."

He remained silent. Feeling awkward, she fidgeted with her clothes. "I won't disturb you. Good night."

As she turned to leave, Chen Yu spoke, "Xia Yangyang, is that all your gratitude?"

Startled, she asked, "What do you want?"

"Tomorrow, I'm taking a vacation at Lake Bay Hot Springs Resort, and you'll accompany me."

"Why?" she demanded.

"Xia Yangyang, I was injured saving you. It's not too much to ask for you to help with my bags, food, and daily needs while I recover, is it?"

She understood: he wanted a personal attendant. "Why not your agent, Sister Shan, or your assistant, Xiao Yang?"

"Sister Shan's busy, and Xiao Yang is clumsy. Besides, it wouldn't be a vacation with them." He raised his voice. "Xia Yangyang, you won't do it? I risked my life for you, and this is how you repay me? If I'd known"

"Fine, fine, I'll go. Happy?" she interrupted, already agreeing.

Chen Yu's eloquence was astounding. He'd even used the phrase "repay kindness with ingratitude." What more was he going to say?

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, his mood visibly improved. "Then pack your bags. We leave early tomorrow morning."
