Chapter 113: Sleeplessness
Su Yan fumed as she looked at her swollen lips in the mirror. She picked up her phone and went straight to the boxing club. Her fists pummelled the punching bag so intensely that even the boxing coach was afraid.
Su Yan knew she needed to vent her anger somewhere, or that kiss Wei Zhou forced on her would have angered her to death. She kept punching without any form of discipline, and hysteric rage fuelled her punches. Only when Su Yan’s muscles started to ache did she stop.
Sure enough, going boxing was the best way to vent some anger. The feeling of perspiration all over Su Yan’s body relaxed her body, mind, and spirit. She lay on the ground to rest for a few minutes before taking a shower and leaving.
Just as she walked out of the boxing club, Su Yan realized that she had two missed calls. They were both from Chai Xingyu. Su Yan frowned slightly. They had been together until this afternoon. She wondered what was going on now.
The call went through and Su Yan said, “I was boxing just now. What’s happened?”!!
“Wei Zhou asked to meet me.” Chai Xingyu said simply.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. “Ignore him. I ran into him right after you left this afternoon.”
“What happened? He didn’t bully you, did he?” Chai Xingyu was concerned.
Su Yan replied, “If he dares, I’ll beat him up so badly he’ll have to go to the hospital!”
Chai Xingyu was relieved to hear that nothing had happened between Su Yan and Wei Zhou. The two of them talked about some work matters and then hung up.
Su Yan looked up at the sky and realized that it was already evening. The smog was quite serious today, so the sky was always rather gloomy and dark. This worsened Su Yan’s originally depressed mood.

After eating a sumptuous meal of takeout food at Floral Villa, Su Yan went straight to the bathtub. Bathing was her favorite thing. After working out at the boxing club for two hours today, she felt very tired and lay in the bathtub. Soon, Su Yan fell asleep unknowingly.
She did not know how long she slept for, but Xiao Xiao woke her up through the smart voice system in the bathroom. Su Yan came out of the bathtub. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao was there to alert her, or else she would have slept in the bathtub until dawn.
After taking a shower, Su Yan blew dry her hair and put on a sleeping mask. Su Yan curled up in bed, but what annoyed her immensely was that although she was very fatigued, she could not sleep no matter how hard she tried. As soon as Su Yan shut her eyes, the image of being kissed by Wei Zhou during the day would automatically flash in her mind.
Two hours later, Su Yan got out of bed and went to the wine cabinet on the first floor. She picked a bottle of three-year-old red wine. Su Yan did not have sleeping pills at home, so she could only use alcohol to try and get herself to sleep. It was not until Su Yan drank more than half of the bottle that she finally felt sleepy.
..
The next morning, Xiao Xiao started playing blaring, eardrum-bursting dance music. Su Yan got such a shock that she jolted herself awake and sat up on her bed.
“Xiao Xiao, could you please play a gentler song to wake me up?” Su Yan glanced at the robot Xiao Xiao unhappily.
Xiao Xiao’s cute voice rang out, “Master, I tried three kinds of music just now. Only this dance music could wake you up.”
Su Yan was quite speechless.
After washing up, Su Yan went to the first floor for breakfast. Because she did not sleep well last night, she was not in the mood to cook this morning, so she simply ordered take-out online.
Su Yan’s phone rang after she’d taken just a few bites. She swiped the screen and said, “It’s rare for you to wake up so early.”
“Hmph, Yan Yan. I’m so mad!” Tang Yitong declared.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. “What happened?”
“Just go see what’s trending. Your ex-husband’s first love is out causing trouble again. I’d like to give her a good hard slap.” Tang Yitong was furious.
Hearing that it was related to Guan Yutong, Su Yan continued to eat her breakfast slowly. After all that had happened, nothing about Guan Yutong would surprise Su Yan any more.
“I’m eating now and don’t want to spoil my mood by looking at those things. Tell me, what did she do this time?” Su Yan said as she took a bite of a meat bun.
Tang Yitong pouted and said, “Hmph, what else can she do? That little bitch went to participate in a reality show and started insinuating things about you in the very first episode.”
Tang Yitong spoke for three whole minutes, and Su Yan couldn’t take it anymore. She opened Weibo on her tablet, and to nobody’s surprise, Guan Yutong was right on the top of the trending list..
