In the evening, Guo Xuehua drove home from grocery shopping, and Minjuan happened to pick up Lanlan from kindergarten.
The little girl, who was wearing a blue denim jacket, black cotton stockings, and a short skirt, looked like an angel jumping under the sunset.
Lanlan was already quite close to Guo Xuehua. She called her grandma sweetly, and ran forward to help Guo Xuehua carry the two big bags of vegetables.
If it was a child from an ordinary family, she wouldn't have been able to carry them, but Lanlan was special, so Guo Xuehua let her granddaughter be "filial".
Minjuan saw that Guo Xuehua's smile was a little forced, and asked curiously, "What's wrong? You don't look so good."
Guo Xuehua shook her head with a smile, "No, maybe I'm getting old, and I'm tired after shopping for a while."
"You don't look old, you still look young!"
Minjuan said some nice words, but Guo Xuehua was just casually answering, and her heart was stifled.
When they entered the house, Mother Wang also came up to bring the ingredients into the kitchen, and began to prepare for dinner, and also to make some preparations for tomorrow's ancestor worship.
They had previously agreed to invite Hsiao Chih-ching to their house for dinner during the Chong Yang Festival, but Yang Cheng and Hsiao Chih-ching hadn't come back yet, so calling Guo Xuehua was a little anxious.
Thinking about it, Guo Xuehua wanted to make a phone call. Although she might not be able to get through, as long as she thought about the scene in the cafe, Guo Xuehua would vomit.
Just as she was hesitating, she heard the door open, and Yang Cheng's familiar voice shouted out!
"Haha … Mom! Mother Wang! Wife! I'm back! Where is everyone!? Where's the chubby little girl?? "
Lanlan, who was lying on the sofa watching cartoons, was the first to react. She stood up angrily, kicked the sofa with her legs, and pounced towards Yang Cheng!
Yang Cheng hugged the little girl, and Lanlan's two little fists hit his chest!
With the strength of Lanlan's' heavy punches', if it wasn't for Yang Cheng's strong physique, he would have been bleeding from all seven orifices.
"Bad uncle, bad uncle! Don't call Lanlan little girl! "
Yang Cheng laughed. He didn't know why, but after not seeing her for so many days, he missed her very much, even more than Guo Xuehua and the others.
Perhaps this child was really to his liking. The more he looked, the cuter she was, and he couldn't help but kiss Lanlan's cheek!
"Little chubby girl, if you dare hit me again, I'll eat you!" Yang Cheng pretended to be fierce.
Lanlan felt her face was wet. When she heard this, she immediately struggled and screamed a few times. She jumped out of Yang Cheng's arms and hid far away. She looked at Yang Cheng in fear, her big eyes rolling around.
Guo Xuehua came out of the kitchen. She was happy at first, but then she laughed and scolded, "Don't scare Lanlan. You're a foodie yourself. Why are you talking about the child? I thought you forgot to come back tomorrow."
Yang Cheng scratched his head, "I was supposed to come back tomorrow, but I felt that I've found most of the things I wanted to find. There's no need to go to a new place to search, so I came back today. By the way, Zhiqing will come tomorrow. I'll send her back to rest first. "
Guo Xuehua nodded, took a deep breath, and made up her mind. She stepped forward and whispered, "Son, go upstairs with mom. I have something to ask you."
Yang Cheng felt strange. Why did it sound like an underground job? But he knew that Guo Xuehua wouldn't joke around, so he followed her upstairs silently.
When they entered Yang Cheng's room, Guo Xuehua deliberately closed the door and asked anxiously, "Yang Cheng, do you feel that Ruoxi has been acting strange lately?"
Yang Cheng was stunned, "Recently? What do you mean recently? Haven't I been out these days? What's wrong with Ruoxi? "
"It's … Has Ruoxi been meeting with strangers?" Guo Xuehua asked.
Yang Cheng laughed casually, "How would I know? She might be meeting with some big clients at work. Does that count?"
Guo Xuehua sighed, "You're too careless. You should be more concerned about who appears around Ruoxi …"
Yang Cheng sensed that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. Did you hear or see something?"
Guo Xuehua pulled out her phone with an ugly expression, pulled up the photo she had taken in the afternoon, and handed it to Yang Cheng.
"This man, do you know him?"
Yang Cheng took the photo casually, and with just a glance, his eyes froze!
"Li … Jian … He?!"
Guo Xuehua heard it and quickly said, "Is that Li Jianhe? You know him? What does he do? How … "
"Mom," Yang Cheng interrupted Guo Xuehua's question, and asked with a dark expression and heavy breathing, "How did you take this photo?"
Guo Xuehua then told her about how she could not find Lin Ruoxi in the office in the afternoon, and what happened when she was about to leave.
"I didn't dare to look at it after I took the photo, and there was a traffic jam on the road, so I left in a hurry. I really wanted to go in and ask, but I didn't know how to say it. It would be bad if I misunderstood Ruoxi and made her sad, but how could I not feel at ease?" Guo Xuehua said in a troubled tone.
Yang Cheng returned the phone to Guo Xuehua, and after thinking for a while, he let out a long sigh, and smiled. "I believe it's Li Jianhe. He was Ruoxi's senior in university, and they used to be close, but it's all in the past now.
I've misunderstood Ruoxi before, but she told me that she's honest, and I believe her. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ruoxi who she met this afternoon. She won't hide anything, because there's nothing to think about. "
Guo Xuehua nodded doubtfully. "So it's a senior from university … If you know him, then it's fine. I'm just afraid that someone will suddenly appear."
"Mom, don't overthink it. You have too little confidence in me. How could I let someone like that extend his claws into my territory? Besides, Ruoxi isn't that kind of woman, she's innocent, and it's normal for her to let Li Jianhe touch her, "Yang Cheng comforted.
Guo Xuehua rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng. "Alright, alright, I'm just overthinking it. Your wife is the best! It's best if it's the same as what you said, I also hope that Ruoxi has a clear conscience.
Even though you're not a good thing for a woman, you're still my son. I won't allow other women to be unfaithful to my son! "
While Yang Cheng was ashamed, he was also touched. Morals and ethics were nothing in the face of his mother's stubborn love.
After sending Guo Xuehua downstairs, Yang Cheng took a shower and changed his clothes. After so many days in the rainforest and caves, he was covered in dust.
When night fell, Lin Ruoxi returned home after her meeting. After listening to Yang Cheng's words, Guo Xuehua didn't bring up the matter. She continued chatting and laughing with Lin Ruoxi as usual.
When she saw Yang Cheng coming downstairs, Lin Ruoxi looked at him with a complicated gaze. She smiled. "Come and eat. It must have been hard on you these days."
Yang Cheng saw a trace of uneasiness in the woman's eyes. This reminded Yang Cheng of the photo in the phone. His heart tightened.
"Honey, I have a small gift for you." Yang Cheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. He smiled and took out a purple object that was slightly bigger than his palm from his mustard Sumeru Ring.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Minjuan, who just came out of the kitchen, exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Ruoxi was also quite fond of it. It was a natural amethyst mine with distinct edges and corners. In the middle were three large crystal prisms, surrounded by clusters of small amethysts. Under the light, it was a beautiful outline of nature, sparkling with psychedelic brilliance.
"I found this in an underground mine near the border of Brazil. Although it's not much, it's still a genuine purple crystal. I found it myself. I think you should be facing your computer often. Put it by your desk to absorb radiation. It's good for your body and mind. "Yang Cheng smiled and handed the crystal to Lin Ruoxi.
When he got closer, Yang Cheng did not forget to sneakily whisper in the woman's ear. "I found it and hid it. It's not appropriate not to give it to Zhiqing in front of her. But I still want to prepare a gift for you. You've been away for so many days. It would be terrible if you didn't bring a gift, right?"
Lin Ruoxi was happy, but she felt that she should not be so easily "tricked". Why didn't he say that he had been out with another woman?
"Mm, thank you. I like it very much." Lin Ruoxi's expression immediately became indifferent. She accepted the crystal expressionlessly and put it on the coffee table. Then, she went back to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Guo Xuehua frowned. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words. Wang Ma and Minjuan, on the other hand, looked at the amethyst with interest.
Only Lanlan was puzzled. She pouted and mumbled to herself, "Bad uncle, why did you give me a stone? Stones don't taste good."
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. Why did it feel like he was back to a year ago when he first met Lin Ruoxi? This cold expression and tone, he had not experienced it for a long time. It was enough for him to drink two pots!
Fortunately, Yang Chen's ability to endure setbacks was very strong. After sitting down as per usual, he started to take a chicken drumstick and started munching on it.
Guo Xuehua was speechless when she saw her son eating without a care in the world, but there was nothing she could do. She turned around to look at Lin Ruoxi who was serving the dishes, and the worry in her eyes deepened.
