Chapter 122: Chapter 122: No Need to Know

Rose's sudden question caught Yang Chen off guard. After realizing what she was asking, Yang Chen fell silent. It wasn't that he couldn't tell her; he had absolute trust in Rose, and there was nothing too serious about speaking of it. However, Rose might not understand. Of course, there were some things that absolutely couldn't be said. Even if he could handle it, once Rose knew, it could lead to unimaginable consequences.

Everyone has their own boundaries to respect; crossing them invites trouble. Just like trespassing in a marketplace invites the wrath of authorities or manufacturers, or how crossing borders invites enemy fire in warfare. If one learns what they shouldn't, the consequences could be dire.

Under Rose's eager gaze, Yang Chen carefully chose his words, saying, "Honestly, I've never wanted to hide anything from you. It's just that some things, once said, you wouldn't understand. I can only explain the simplest truths to you."

"I don't need to know everything. I just want to know why my husband would end up like that, needing me to forcibly knock you out," Rose urgently asked. In reality, a woman's only concern is whether her man is still in danger!

Yang Chen organized his thoughts before responding, "It's a condition I've had since childhood. If I exert myself beyond a certain threshold, like last night when I used more than normal physical strength to deal with those people, I'll fall ill. Or if I'm burdened mentally, feeling agitated, my central nervous system can become somewhat uncontrollable... leading me to do... out-of-character things."

"Is it dangerous?"

"I'm not in danger, but people around me might be." Yang Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Rose breathed a sigh of relief. She could probably understand what sort of "out-of-character things" he meant, but as long as Yang Chen assured her he'd be okay, that was the best news.

Seeing the subtle expression on Rose's face, Yang Chen felt a warm sensation in his heart, touched by her concern. It's always been difficult to accept a beauty's kindness. In truth, he had lied to her... because if this condition of his became uncontrollable, it could lead to not only harming others but also destroying himself...

But there are things men can't tell women because women often let emotions override reason, leading to foolish decisions.

After contemplating for a moment, Rose cautiously asked, "Shouldn't you go to the hospital for a thorough examination? Didn't you undergo treatment abroad before?"

Treatment? This condition is unique to me worldwide. No one else understands how it happens. What's there to treat? Yang Chen shook his head and chuckled, "No need. I had tests done back in the States. The doctor said the best way is to live simply, not to think too much or do too much. That way, I can peacefully live out my life. There's no cure for it with current medical conditions."

Sorry, my dear Rose, I have to lie to you again... Yang Chen thought helplessly.

Rose nodded as if she understood, not pressing Yang Chen further. Though she felt that Yang Chen was still keeping many things from her, the wise woman chose to remain silent on some matters.

Waking up early in the morning, Yang Chen felt a bit hungry. He picked up the bowl of millet porridge on the bedside table and finished it in two or three big gulps. He then grinned at Rose, "This small bowl isn't enough. Go get another one."

Rose resumed her former charming demeanor, giving him a playful glance. "Hold on, don't drink yet. I have something to show you."

"What is it?"

The author has something to say: Dear readers, please remember the latest and most complete novel website, Jiuzhuo Novel Website.

Although Yang Chen didn't fully understand the political landscape of Yanxia, he roughly understood the positions of these two people. Both were high-ranking officials in Zhonghai, almost at the director or deputy director level. Associating the content of the video with Rose's words, Yang Chen immediately understood the implications of the video.

Situ Mingze indeed used every means necessary. With such information in hand, he would have no trouble wreaking havoc even under the nose of the court.

Rose continued, "These videos are all confidential information about court officials and some important figures in the business world. Situ Mingze investigated these people, even those with clean backgrounds, deliberately set traps for them to do unspeakable things, and recorded videos. With these things in hand, his gang can remain stable and avoid being crushed by the national machinery."

Yang Chen wasn't someone who liked gossip, but for Rose, this information was a good leverage. From now on, Rose would become the puppeteer behind these dignified figures.

However, when Yang Chen's eyes inadvertently caught a number on the table and the name written after it, he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

"Darling, what's wrong?" Rose noticed Yang Chen's unusual behavior.

Yang Chen gave a quirky smile and said, "Nothing, just saw an acquaintance."

"An acquaintance?" Rose blinked curiously, revealing an adorable expression of confusion.

Morning was the time when a man's desires were most vigorous. Having just watched a somewhat vulgar video and now seeing this beautiful woman displaying such a unique charm, Yang Chen's dormant desires from last night were instantly ignited.

Before Rose could continue questioning, Yang Chen pulled her into his arms and dragged her to the center of the bed...

Rose knew what was coming next, but just a moment ago they were discussing serious matters, and now she found herself suddenly pinned under the man like a plump little lamb. Her eyes were misty, cheeks flushed like waves.

"Honey, you just woke up, are you sure you're okay..." Even though her mind was already foggy, Rose still managed to ask with the last bit of rationality.

"Morning exercise is good for the body," Yang Chen laughed heartily, tearing off the last restraint from Rose and eagerly indulging...

When they emerged from the Rose Bar, it was almost 8 o'clock. Despite almost losing control last night, Yang Chen's body hadn't suffered any damage. He still managed to exhaust Rose until she was limp and powerless in the bed.

Knowing they would definitely be late for work, Yang Chen didn't rush to drive. He leisurely bought breakfast from a stall and then drove all the way to Yulei International.

When entering the PR department's gate, Yang Chen didn't receive the usual warm welcome or protests from the beauties for being late, because he noticed that all the beautiful women had gathered around Liu Mingyu's area, giggling and chatting about something. No one even paid attention to him as he entered!
