Seeing the woman's sudden outburst, Yang Cheng was stunned. He gestured with his hands, and his mouth began to tremble.
"I … This … I am having an affair, but not with her … Oh no! I'm not having an affair … I'm just … I … Ouch … "
Yang Cheng wanted to cry, but no tears came out. How could he explain this!?
Lin Ruoxi obviously didn't want to listen to him anymore. She was so angry that her pretty face turned cold. After taking a deep breath, she turned around and ran upstairs.
Guo Xuehua shouted, but Lin Ruoxi didn't stop. She ran to the study and slammed the table.
Downstairs, Lanlan pouted and said angrily, "Bad uncle! You bully my mother! "
Minjuan quickly went to comfort Lanlan, afraid that this little devil would flip the table.
Yang Cheng also didn't have the ability to quarrel with the little girl. He grabbed his hair, not in the mood to eat. He felt wronged and helpless at the same time.
"You child! Why are you still in a daze? Go and explain it to Ruoxi! Isn't it worse if you don't explain it to her!? "Guo Xuehua patted Yang Cheng's shoulder and said.
Yang Cheng thought about it and agreed. He ran upstairs and knocked on the door of the study.
Knock, knock, knock …
Lin Ruoxi in the study didn't respond at all. From outside, Yang Cheng could only hear the rapid breathing inside. She was obviously angry.
Yang Chen helplessly looked downstairs, and bitterly waved his hands.
"I think we should wait for Ruoxi to calm down first. She doesn't want to see me …"
Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. At this time, any explanation would be useless. After all, Yang Cheng had a lot of bad records. Lin Ruoxi would definitely not believe him.
However, the two adults were much more mature. If they thought about it carefully, if Yang Cheng really had some other relationship with that girl, why would he rush back for dinner? Therefore, he wasn't too worried. It would be fine as long as Lin Ruoxi calmed down and thought things through.
In the end, they finished half of the dinner and cleaned it up. Fortunately, Lanlan also ate a lot, so it was not too wasteful.
Yang Cheng sighed as he returned to his bedroom. Just as he was about to take a shower and change his clothes, he noticed that there was a communication request from Solon on his laptop.
Yang Cheng perked up and quickly opened it. He found that Solon had sent him a lot of documents, but he was not at home today, so he did not notice it.
After opening the video chat, Sauron was wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses and looking at some information.
Yang Chen was used to seeing the rugged appearance of the red-haired old man. Yang Chen wasn't used to seeing him wear glasses all of a sudden … Sauron is getting old too. Speaking of which, it's been quite a few years since I saved him.
Seeing that Yang Cheng finally responded, Sauron turned his head, nodded respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty Pluto, you asked us to find areas around the world with ancient civilizations and not too much man-made damage. We have found eight of them. All the areas and related information have been sent to you."
Yang Cheng nodded, "I will take a closer look later. Thank you for your hard work. Did you encounter any problems along the way?"
"It can't be considered a problem, but I am very curious, Your Majesty Pluto, why are you looking for such places? Most of these places are desolate and uninhabited. Because they are not suitable for human survival, there are only some traces of ancient civilizations. If it is an ordinary person who goes to those places, it is very likely that they will die. "
Yang Cheng smiled, "What I want is a place that ordinary people can't go to, so I can find what I want. Well, even if I tell you, you won't understand immediately. Let's talk about it later, I will look at the information first. "
Sauron was not a talkative person, so he quickly said goodbye and hung up.
As soon as Yang Cheng pulled out the information of the eight locations, he immediately read it carefully.
Sauron sent people to investigate quite thoroughly, so it took a lot of time to read it.
After reading all of it, Yang Cheng probably also chose the first place to go. Of course, before going, he still had to ask Hsiao Chih-ching's opinion, so he contacted Hsiao Chih-ching to listen to her opinion.
Hsiao Chih-ching had now dropped out of school and was idle all day, so she quickly replied to her opinion.
The two coincidentally ruled out the Great Swamp in the southern United States, the Amazon basin, the Panamanian forest, and other places, and chose the more remote inland of Arnhem Land in northern Australia.
Not only was it a no-man's land, but it was also a place where indigenous civilization had existed since 50,000 years ago. According to Hsiao Chih-ching, only a place that gave birth to human beings would have enough spiritual energy to cultivate the unknown medicinal ingredients for alchemy.
It was almost October. Australia was located in the southern hemisphere, and the northern part of the country would gradually enter summer in October. This was especially true for places like Arnhem Land, where water was a problem. It would be very uncomfortable to wait any longer, so they had to leave early if they wanted to go.
Hsiao Chih-ching was cooped up at home, and she was obviously eager to go out as well. Moreover, with Yang Cheng around, there was no need to worry about danger, so she was full of interest.
Yang Cheng closed his notebook and sighed. Although Lin Ruoxi might still be angry at him, he still had to tell her that he was going on a long trip tonight, especially that he had to bring Hsiao Chih-ching along.
Regardless of whether Lin Ruoxi was unwilling or not, he could not accommodate her too much. After all, it involved all the women.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Cheng took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom. It was better to take a shower first before talking to Lin Ruoxi.
At the same time, in Lin Ruoxi's study.
Mother Wang placed a plate of cut fruits on Lin Ruoxi's desk. She looked at Lin Ruoxi, who was busy correcting documents with a cold expression. She could not help but smile.
"Miss, are you still angry?"
Lin Ruoxi raised her head and pouted. "Mother Wang, don't speak up for that bad guy. You're always helping him, and you're not taking your family seriously!"
Mother Wang smiled bitterly. "Of course not. Mother Wang, of course I'm helping you. It's just that young master didn't lie to you this time …"
Lin Ruoxi snorted. "Mother Wang, how do you know? He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Didn't he secretly get involved with those vixens? He even slept with Qianni and Mingyu right under my nose."
Mother Wang found it funny to hear her sour words, but she held it in. She cleared her throat and said, "Actually, young master said that the girl clung to you today was not because of young master … I was too embarrassed to say it at the time, but that day, it was actually like this …"
Mother Wang slowly told her about the misunderstanding between Luo Xiaoxiao and Yang Cheng.
As she listened, Lin Ruoxi could tell that Mother Wang was telling the truth. She immediately felt a little regretful. "Mother Wang, why didn't you say it when we were eating just now?"
"This …" Mother Wang said sheepishly, "After all, it's about my face and butt. Besides, Lanlan was there too. I was too embarrassed to say it."
"Why is that girl so thick-skinned?" Lin Ruoxi frowned in dissatisfaction, but there was more regret in her eyes.
It seemed that she had wronged Yang Cheng. Actually, when she calmed down and thought about it, if Yang Cheng really had something to do with that girl, he wouldn't have rushed back for dinner.
The more she thought about it, the redder Lin Ruoxi felt. However, her self-esteem from a young age made her unable to put down her pride and beg Yang Cheng for forgiveness.
Mother Wang could tell what Lin Ruoxi was thinking. She smiled and said, "Miss, don't be stubborn. If you want to apologize, go ahead. What's wrong with a husband and wife?"
"I … I don't want to apologize. Hmph, he bullied me so many times. What's wrong with me misunderstanding him once?" Lin Ruoxi said stubbornly.
Mother Wang sighed. "To be honest, Miss, there's nothing more precious between a couple than a man who tolerates you unconditionally, especially a man like Young Master. It's not that he doesn't deserve you. He doesn't fight with you because he dotes on you. But you have to control your temper sometimes."
Lin Ruoxi's face burned as she listened. Her heart was in a mess. She put down her pen, stood up, and walked out the door.
"Mother Wang, go watch TV. I'll go coax Lanlan to sleep …"
With that said, Lin Ruoxi jogged toward the bedroom, looking like she was escaping.
Mother Wang reached out to stop her, but she couldn't. She looked at the fruit platter that Bai brought over and could only shake her head with a smile.
When Lin Ruoxi ran to her bedroom, she found Lanlan sleeping obediently on the bed.
This child's peaceful sleep was really pitiful. For some reason, Minjuan said that Lanlan didn't sleep for a few days in the past. But ever since she slept with Lanlan, Lanlan's sleep was like other children, and she could sleep soundly for a long time.
Minjuan laughed and asked if Lanlan was afraid of her mother, so she slept obediently.
But Lin Ruoxi had a strange feeling that it was because Lanlan was by her side that she was able to settle down comfortably, which was why she was so obedient and sleeping.
Of course, Lanlan couldn't explain it. In a child's world, she could sleep whenever she wanted and eat whenever she wanted.
Lin Ruoxi walked to the bedside and bent down to kiss her daughter's forehead.
Lanlan clicked her tongue, and she seemed to be having a sweet dream. She looked very cute.
"Silly child, you're dreaming of good food, right? If this goes on, mom is afraid that you'll really become a little fat girl in the future," Lin Ruoxi thought to herself.
Lin Ruoxi walked out of the room quietly. She was still thinking about how to reconcile with Yang Cheng. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had gone overboard. She didn't listen to his explanation and wrongly accused him — — although it was really hard to believe under those circumstances.
Unknowingly, Lin Ruoxi walked through the corridor on the second floor and arrived at the end. She pushed open two glass doors and walked to the balcony.
