Chapter 273 Not only did she actively approach her, she also provoked her man.

Seeing the two run away, Zhou Shizui turned his gaze away and squatted down, carefully watching Xia Yuhuan's peaceful sleeping face.

His appearance was both extremely devout and strange.

It's like looking at your beloved.

It's like looking at someone you admire.

It's more like looking at an opponent you utterly despise.

My emotions are complex and hard to express.

On the other side, the two people who left in a hurry finally breathed a sigh of relief when they realized they wouldn't see Zhou Shizui again.

"Oh my god, Dr. Zhou's gaze just now was terrifying."

"Exactly, I even felt like he was going to eat me up."

"Oh my god, that was terrifying! Dr. Zhou usually seems so kind, why was he so fierce just now?"

"And the way he looked at Director Xia just now was also very ambiguous; he clearly seemed interested in Dr. Xia."

"Yes, I noticed that too, but isn't Dr. Xia already married?"

"He still likes her even after marriage, is he trying to steal her away?"

The two whispered amongst themselves, which reached Chi Yanzhou's ears.

Chi Yanzhou tightened his grip on the insulated box.

The next moment, he strode back in the direction the two had come from.

Zhou Shizui slowly got up and moved closer to Xia Yuhuan.

It was at this moment that he heard a low shout.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Shizui turned his head and saw Chi Yanzhou walking over with a cold face.

Xia Yuhuan was awakened by Chi Yanzhou's voice.

She opened her eyes, her gaze, somewhat bewildered, falling upon Zhou Shizui before her.

The next moment, she turned to look at Chi Yanzhou.

Why are you here?

Xia Yuhuan raised her hand to cover her mouth, yawned softly, and asked.

Chi Yanzhou strode forward, his gaze fixed intently on Zhou Shizui.

"Dr. Zhou, please explain what you were trying to do just now?"

Zhou Shizui slowly straightened his body.

He was about the same height as Chi Yanzhou, and calmly looked at Chi Yanzhou, withstanding the pressure and anger he exuded.

"I just saw that Director Xia was asleep and was worried that she would catch a cold, so I put a coat on her. Is there a problem with that?"

Zhou Shizui looked completely innocent: "We're colleagues, it's normal for us to care about each other's health, right?"

With a cold face, Chi Yanzhou picked up the clothes that were covering Xia Yuhuan and threw them onto Zhou Shizui.

Xia Yuhuan, who had been in a daze, finally regained some composure.

Good heavens, so she had just fallen asleep and Zhou Shizui was right next to her, even covering her with a blanket?

Did he do anything else?

No, isn't the little dumpling in her mind, which can help her give early warnings?

There's not a sound at all.

Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but ask in her mind, "Little dumpling, are you there?"

"I've told you a hundred times, I'm not a little dumpling, call me Lord Space Spirit!" Little Dumpling's angry voice rang out.

"The name 'Space Spirit' sounds awful, so corny, and it's so long. Little Dumpling is so cute."

Little dumpling: "..."

That does seem to make some sense.

The key point is that she said it was cute.

"Little dumpling, let me ask you, Zhou Shizui didn't do anything to me just now, did he?"

The little dumpling, unable to resist, simply gave up and responded listlessly.

"No, he just covered you with a coat, and then, like a pervert, stood in front of you and stared at you for a long time."

Xia Yuhuan felt a chill run down her spine.

"No, he was staring at me. Why didn't you call me or tell me?"

Xia Yuhuan felt like she was going crazy.

The thought of being stared at by Zhou Shizui made her hair stand on end.

But the reason why Chi Yanzhou got so angry was probably because he saw something else.

“He was just staring at you, he wasn’t going to do anything to hurt you, why should I tell you?” The little dumpling said with particular self-righteousness.

Xia Yuhuan: "..."

As Little Dumpling did say before, its safety warning will only be triggered if the other party reaches out to her, tries to touch her, or harms her.

So Zhou Shizui just stared at her and didn't intend to lay a hand on her. In the little girl's mind, this was not dangerous.

"Are you sure he didn't do anything other than stare at me?" Xia Yuhuan asked again.

"I'm sure not."

"If he didn't do anything else, why is Ah Yan angry?"

"How would I know?" the little dumpling said irritably.

Xia Yuhuan: "..."

The two of them chatted briefly, and the situation between Chi Yanzhou and Zhou Shizui changed.

"Why don't you look at reality first? Your man is going to hit him," the little dumpling reminded him.

Xia Yuhuan quickly looked up and saw Chi Yanzhou grabbing Zhou Shizui by the collar and punching him in the face, knocking his head to the side.

She was startled and quickly got up and walked towards the two of them.

Chi Yanzhou pressed Zhou Shizui against the wall and warned him in a cold voice.

"Ayu is my wife. I'm warning you to stay away from her and don't cause her any trouble, or you'll regret it!"

A cold smile flashed across Zhou Shizui's lips.

Seeing Xia Yuhuan come forward, he spoke again with an innocent look on his face.

"Ouch, why are you hitting people?"

"I already said that I covered Director Xia with a coat because I saw she was sleeping here and I was worried she would catch a cold."

"As colleagues, isn't this kind of caring gesture normal?"

"I didn't do anything else, why are you so angry?"

"Could it be that you and Director Xia don't get along and you're afraid she'll run away?"

Xia Yuhuan felt that Zhou Shizui was clearly jumping around recklessly in Chi Yanzhou's minefield.

She was utterly speechless.

This week, I felt that it wasn't enough for me to take the initiative to approach her, and now I'm even starting to provoke Chi Yanzhou and sow discord between them?

It looked like Chi Yanzhou was about to throw another punch at Zhou Shizui.

Xia Yuhuan quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chi Yanzhou's arm.

"Ayan, stop hitting her."

Fighting again would have a bad influence.

Chi Yanzhou naturally saw the unspoken words and worries in Xia Yuhuan's eyes.

He squinted and remained silent.

Xia Yuhuan looked at Zhou Shizui and said, "Dr. Zhou, I'm sorry, my wife was too worried about me. When she saw you standing in front of me, she thought you were going to do something bad to me."

"It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart."

Under Xia Yuhuan's persistent urging, Chi Yanzhou reluctantly let go of Zhou Shizui.

Zhou Shizui tugged at his collar and smiled nonchalantly.

"It's alright. Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just let it go." Zhou Shizui seemed unconcerned about pursuing the matter.

Chi Yanzhou looked at him with great displeasure.

"Thank you for your kindness, Dr. Zhou. I'll go home and rest now; I haven't slept all night," Xia Yuhuan said.

"Okay, go back to sleep and get some rest. See you tomorrow," Zhou Shizui said with a smile.

Xia Yuhuan always felt that his gentle voice was a bit teasy.

She pulled Chi Yanzhou away.

Chi Yanzhou looked at Zhou Shizui and suddenly raised his hand, punching Zhou Shizui in the face.

That punch came too suddenly.

Xia Yuhuan didn't expect it, and neither did Zhou Shizui.

As a result, Zhou Shi was directly knocked down and fell to the ground, too stunned to react.
