Chapter 9

In Bai Xueling's heart, even before Ye Chenfeng had developed panic disorder, she considered him nothing more than a spoiled and wicked young master, with no redeeming qualities. How much more so now that he had a severe case of panic disorder? The thought of her future husband being like this often left her feeling resentful. However, as a woman from a prominent family, she had no say in the matter of her engagement.

In fact, Ye Chenfeng used to have his own set of principles when it came to doing things. Although he was spoiled, he would never bully others using his power. He would even stand up to other spoiled young men in the capital who bullied the weak. This was why he was ostracized by the social circles in the capital.

Seeing Bai Xueling frown, Zhou Juean thought she was upset because of Ye Chenfeng and quickly tried to please her, saying, "Xueling, watch me play with that fool."

After Ye Chenfeng developed panic disorder, being toyed with by others often became a topic of conversation among a group of spoiled young men in the capital. Moreover, prominent families in the capital had their own set of rules. Matters between the younger generation were to be handled by themselves, and as long as no one's life was endangered, the elders would not intervene. Frictions among the spoiled young men of prominent families in the capital were common, and if the elders were to step in for every matter, the entire capital would be in chaos.

It was because of this that Zhou Juean dared to say such things. More importantly, Ye Chenfeng was a patient with panic disorder. Could Zhou Juean, who was so capable, not even handle a patient with panic disorder?

Bai Xueling's soft and sensual lips moved slightly, wanting to stop Zhou Juean's mischief, but in the end, she did not say anything. In her heart, Zhou Juean was not much better than Ye Chenfeng.

"Xueling, let's just watch the show! My cousin likes to cause trouble," Zhou Ting said playfully, linking her arm with Bai Xueling's.

"Tingting, that's not right! Don't go too far," Ye Chenfeng was Bai Xueling's nominal fiancé, and she did not want to see Zhou Juean go too far.

"Xueling, don't worry, my brother knows his limits," Zhou Ting pulled Bai Xueling to follow behind Zhou Juean.

Ye Chenfeng heard every word Zhou Juean said to Bai Xueling, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "There are too many idiots in this world, with no self-awareness. They want to act tough? In the end, they'll just end up as a fool."

Zhou Juean puffed out his chest, looking self-important as he walked up to Ye Chenfeng and asked disdainfully, "Are you Ye Chenfeng? The famous fool of the capital?"

Ye Chenfeng asked the female saleswoman beside him indifferently, "Miss, does your store keep dogs?"

The saleswoman looked at Ye Chenfeng in confusion but still answered, "Sir, we don't keep dogs here."

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng was completely ignoring him, Zhou Juean felt embarrassed, especially with Bai Xueling behind him. How could he lose face? He said disdainfully, "A fool is a fool. Why would a high-end medical equipment store keep dogs?"

Ye Chenfeng stared at Zhou Juean for a moment, then turned to the saleswoman and asked, "Miss, that's not right! Why do I keep hearing dog barks? And they're so close. Your store must keep dogs."

"Ye Fool, is there something wrong with your head? Or maybe your eyes? Is there a dog in front of you?" Zhou Juean mocked, feeling self-important.

The female saleswoman, seeing Zhou Juean's smug expression, couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle. Even Bai Xueling, standing behind Zhou Juean, couldn't suppress a smile.

Only then did Zhou Juean realize something was wrong. Ye Chenfeng was comparing him to a dog, and he was still feeling smug about it. He was truly the biggest fool in the world.

His cheeks burning, Zhou Juean had confidently promised Bai Xueling that he would play with Ye Chenfeng, but now he was the one being played. Anger surged in his heart. No man could tolerate losing face in front of a beautiful woman, especially in front of the capital's top beauty, Bai Xueling.

A shadow of malice flashed in Zhou Juean's eyes behind his thick glasses, and his hands clenched into fists, ready to fight.

Dealing with such a low-intelligence fool, Ye Chenfeng had no desire to even move. He thought disdainfully, "You bird, you just called me a pile of dog shit. Today, I'll show you that acting tough in front of me comes with a price."

Ye Chenfeng quickly pulled a silver needle from his acupuncture bag and, with lightning speed, stabbed two acupoints on Zhou Juean's body. No one around him even saw his movements, only a blur. Of course, Bai Xueling and Zhou Ting, standing behind Zhou Juean, did not see Ye Chenfeng's actions at all.

The acupoints Ye Chenfeng targeted were the laughing point and the diarrhea point. He also injected a small amount of soul power into the acupoints to make the effects manifest more quickly.

"Ouch—"

Zhou Juean clutched his stomach, and a loud noise came from his behind.

"Ha ha ha—"

Immediately, Zhou Juean burst into laughter, unable to speak, tears streaming down his face from laughing so hard.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!—"

With both hands clutching his extremely painful stomach, filth flowed from Zhou Juean's trouser legs. Despite the filth, he continued to laugh, his face turning red.

The female saleswoman beside Ye Chenfeng covered her nose, looking at Zhou Juean with disgust. She was filled with admiration for Ye Chenfeng, even though she did not see how he did it. She knew that this must have been the work of the handsome man beside her.

Bai Xueling and Zhou Ting, standing behind Zhou Juean, also frowned. Zhou Juean's sudden abnormal behavior left them puzzled. They naturally did not associate it with Ye Chenfeng, still seeing him as the severely panic-disordered fool.

"Xueling, my brother must have a stomachache," Zhou Ting explained hurriedly, but seeing Zhou Juean laughing uncontrollably, she added, "No, my brother must be possessed."

Ye Chenfeng put the silver needle back into his acupuncture bag and walked past Zhou Juean to stand in front of Bai Xueling.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng approach her, Bai Xueling's fair and tender face became even colder.

Ye Chenfeng pursed his lips and said, "Even if you want to find a man, at least find someone decent. Finding a fool who can't control his bowels is just embarrassing for me. I'm your fiancé, after all!"

After saying that, Ye Chenfeng walked out of the store without stopping. After taking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Your taste is pretty bad."

To be honest, although Bai Xueling was beautiful, Ye Chenfeng had no interest in her. He did not like to put on a warm face for a cold person. If there were no engagement between them, he would not even bother to speak to her.

Bai Xueling's coldness turned to anger and shame. She and Zhou Juean had no relationship, and Ye Chenfeng's misunderstanding made her furious. She wished she could throw off her ladylike demeanor and chase after Ye Chenfeng to kick him a few times.
