The temperature in Zhonghai had gradually cooled down since the beginning of autumn. The autumn wind swept away the heat like sweeping away the fallen leaves. Yang Cheng, who woke up early in the morning, had the thought of staying in the quilt.
It had degenerated and decayed. After returning to China for half a year, the words "staying in the quilt" actually appeared in his mind. In the past 20 years, he had never thought that he would have such a day.
When the hazy sunlight shone through the window, he could breathe in the natural morning air with dew. He could toss and turn in the quilt. He could smell the sweetness of the breakfast prepared downstairs. Hmm … what a simple smell …
"Bang, bang, bang." The door was knocked, and the familiar voice of Mother Wang came from outside. "Young Master, come down for breakfast. It's not good if Miss is waiting for you in the hospital."
Mother Wang came up to wake Yang Cheng up because he was going to take Lin Ruoxi home today.
Yang Cheng quickly put on a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of Adidas sports shorts. Because he did not have to worry about the possibility of getting sick, Yang Cheng was never afraid of catching a cold. He wore whatever was comfortable.
After washing up, he ran downstairs to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast. Under the urging of Mother Wang, he ran out and drove to the hospital.
On the way to the flower shop, Yang Cheng hesitated. He felt that "listening to the old man's words will not be a loss." So he got off the car and ran into the flower shop. He looked around.
The lady boss was a mature and beautiful woman. When she saw Yang Cheng enter the door, she smiled and asked what he needed.
Yang Cheng remembered that Mother Wang said something about carnations. But after asking, he found out that there were different types of carnations! White, red, yellow, purple, and even green!
Why do you have to look so strange for a flower? Yang Cheng thought gloomily.
"Young man, different colors of carnations have different meanings. Let me explain it to you in detail before you buy it." The lady boss said enthusiastically.
Yang Cheng didn't have that much time to wait. He waved his hand domineeringly and said, "No need. Give me one of each color. It will save me the trouble!"
The Lady Boss's face darkened. This was the first time she had seen someone buy flowers like this. He bought one flower for every color. Did he think he was a child doodling? The colored pen scribbled randomly, and he had no idea what was what.
However, a customer's request was an order. The Lady Boss smiled as she wrapped up a bunch of strange multicolored carnations and handed them to Yang Cheng.
With so many carnations combined into a bunch, it was especially difficult to calculate the money. Yang Cheng threw a few red bills on the counter and left the flower shop in a hurry without waiting for the lady boss to count the money.
When the lady boss finished counting, she found that she was still short of more than a hundred yuan. But when she looked up, she saw that Yang Cheng's car had already disappeared. She was so angry that she almost fainted.
When Yang Cheng arrived at the hospital, it was the appointed time for discharge. As soon as he stepped into Lin Ruoxi's ward, two figures that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Yang, how have you been?" Xu Zhihong was still smiling modestly and politely. In his hand was a large bouquet of pure white orchids, delicate and glistening.
Next to Xu Zhihong was Furball, who was grinning as if he was begging for a beating. He was actually scratching his butt. It was unknown if it had been bitten by a mosquito or if it had grown something that shouldn't have.
Lin Ruoxi, who was wearing a white floral dress with blue trim, was sitting quietly on the bed. Beside her was a small luggage that she had finished packing. Seeing Yang Cheng enter the door, she didn't pay him any attention. Instead, she lowered her head and filled out some form, which seemed to be something that one had to fill before being discharged from the hospital.
Yang Cheng looked at Xu Zhihong. This bro was even more enthusiastic than him, her husband. It seemed that he still had feelings for Lin Ruoxi. Yang Cheng replied in a muffled voice, "Chairman Xu, you're such a busy person, but you still came to send flowers to my wife. You're really giving me face."
Xu Zhihong's smile froze. What do you mean giving you face!? What does it have to do with you that I'm sending flowers to Lin Ruoxi!?
"Mr. Yang, you're so polite." Xu Zhihong looked at the mixed carnations in Yang Cheng's hand. He held back his laughter and pretended to say, "I don't know what the meaning of Mr. Yang's flowers is. I've never seen flowers sent in such a way."
At this time, Lin Ruoxi also sneaked a peek. When she saw the messy carnations in Yang Cheng's hand, she frowned. She was very curious about what kind of flowers Yang Cheng would give her, but she really didn't know what to say about Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng didn't mind it and smiled. "There's a meaning? I wonder what Chairman Xu's orchids represent? "
Xu Zhihong said proudly, "Beautiful, noble. This is my admiration for Ruoxi. The orchids are just a token of my appreciation."
"Thank you for complimenting my wife." Yang Cheng dragged out the word "me", causing Xu Zhihong to frown. He said, "The reason why there are so many colors in this bouquet is mainly because I really don't know how to praise my darling Ruoxi. Beautiful, kind, noble, intellectual, sexy, charming, virtuous, dignified, loving, serious, tolerant … Good wife and loving mother, model worker, Hua Xia Person of the Year … Aiya, don't these flowers represent our Ruoxi, so I had to bring them all."
'Who cares, so many flowers, so many adjectives, there's bound to be one that fits!' Yang Cheng thought with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but blush slightly at Yang Cheng's praise and mushy words. What's the person who moved Hua Xia Person of the Year!? It was fine if this man was thick-skinned and didn't know how to buy flowers, but why did he have to say such mushy words?
Xu Zhihong was speechless. If he had known, he would have bought an orchid of every color, but even if he had bought it, he probably wouldn't have said such disgusting words. He could only laugh dryly and say, "Mr. Yang is indeed knowledgeable."
"Thank you for the compliment. Such a small merit has been discovered by Chairman Xu! I've always been very low-key. If Chairman Xu has nothing else, you can put down the flowers and leave, lest I hold you up. "Yang Cheng had a polite look on his face as he made a gesture with a smile.
Xu Zhihong's face turned white and black, and he almost choked on his breath!
Fine! He treated my polite words as the truth and shamelessly accepted a compliment! He even told me to put down the flowers and scram! Moreover, he didn't use a single vulgar word and was all smiles. Even if he had the energy, he had nowhere to vent it!
Furball, who was following behind Xu Zhihong, looked at his master with pity. Chasing after a married woman and torturing himself to this state, was there really a need to?
"Then … Ruoxi, I'll leave the flowers here. Congratulations on being discharged. I'll be leaving first."
Xu Zhihong felt that if he stayed any longer, he would be like a volcano erupting, but what others erupted was lava, while his eruption would be blood.
After the Xu family's master and servant left, Lin Ruoxi calmly raised her head and said, "Don't be so rude to Chairman Xu. He didn't do anything special."
"You call that nothing special?!" Yang Cheng said loudly. "Faster than your husband sending flowers to the ground. Aren't you courting death?!"
With that, Yang Cheng walked to the cabinet and picked up Xu Zhihong's orchids, throwing them directly into the trash can in the corner. Only then did he walk in front of Lin Ruoxi with satisfaction and raise the flowers in front of the woman. "Welcome to the hospital, my dear."
Being called "my dear" was a little awkward, but out of etiquette education from a young age, Lin Ruoxi still took the flowers and said "thank you."
Yang Cheng chuckled. "No need to thank me. I know you're already very touched, but please don't cry. I'm most afraid of women crying in front of me."
Lin Ruoxi sighed. He was still as indecent as ever. His roguish temper was back. Why was she crying for no reason?!
After completing the procedures and leaving the hospital, Yang Cheng drove Lin Ruoxi home for the first time. Although the two sat in the same car before, it was always Lin Ruoxi who drove her expensive Bentley to pick up Yang Cheng.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Ruoxi looked at the new interior of the BMW M3 and said, "Yang Cheng, the car you're driving now is mine. As a man, don't you feel a little ashamed?"
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I'm not ashamed. General Lin, you have a lot of cars anyway. It's a waste to keep them. I'm helping you eliminate the waste. It's an honor!"
"I'm serious." Lin Ruoxi frowned and said, "You're a man. Shouldn't you work hard to get a good car and house by yourself? You're driving a woman's car. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? "
Lin Ruoxi tried her best to persuade him. She hoped that Yang Cheng would feel a little ashamed and work hard.
Yang Cheng thought for a moment and nodded seriously. "Ruoxi, my little darling, I feel that something is wrong. I'll cut off the logo of this BMW with a knife. Then it won't be a BMW anymore. It won't be so eye-catching. Don't you think so?"
Lin Ruoxi really wanted to go forward and turn the steering wheel. She wanted the car to crash into the highway guardrail and kill this rascal!
Looking at the grinning Yang Cheng, Lin Ruoxi felt her heart turn cold again because of disappointment. She looked indifferent and didn't want to say anything more.
Yang Cheng also knew that his wife was sulking about his lack of ambition. He began to concentrate on driving and pretended that he didn't know anything.
They arrived home in silence. Mother Wang was already waiting at the door. Seeing the young couple get out of the car, she immediately helped Lin Ruoxi with her luggage. After letting them in, she went to prepare lunch.
Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Cheng after entering the house. She called her secretary, Wu Yue, and went upstairs to deal with official business. She was busy until lunch.
Mother Wang felt sorry for Lin Ruoxi and told her not to work hard as soon as she got home. But the latter was obviously used to this kind of persuasion. Although she listened, she still continued to do it.
Mother Wang's cooking skills were superb. In order to welcome Lin Ruoxi home, the dishes on the table were more sumptuous than before. The colorful and fragrant dishes made Yang Cheng swallow his saliva.
"Mother Wang, teach me how to cook when you have time. I like your cooking skills." Yang Cheng said with expectation.
Being praised was always a happy thing. Mother Wang said with a smile, "As long as you like it. Teach me when you have time. I am an old woman. I am always free."
Seeing this scene, Lin Ruoxi thought of how she persuaded Yang Cheng to work hard in the car. She didn't expect that this man didn't want to work hard and wanted to learn how to cook from a woman. She couldn't help looking at Yang Cheng with even more displeasure and disappointment.
Although Mother Wang prepared a lot of delicious food, Lin Ruoxi was depressed. She just ate a little and suddenly said that she wanted to go out.
Mother Wang used her foot to touch Yang Cheng under the table and gave him a look. Yang Cheng understood and asked with a smile, "Where are you going? If you are going to the company, do you want me to send you? I have nothing to do on the weekend anyway. "
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng coldly and said with a blank face, "No need. I am not going to the company. I can drive myself. You can continue to eat with Mother Wang. "
After that, Lin Ruoxi picked up the car key on the table and went out without looking back.
Not going to the company? Yang Cheng was a little puzzled. Last night, she said that she wanted to go out for no reason. Although he was curious, Yang Cheng was not bored enough to follow her. After all, he had to respect the other party's privacy.
Thinking of Lin Ruoxi's eyes when she left, why did it feel like it was back to the time when they first met? It was so emotionless. He thought that these days there would be some improvement, and he wanted to get along well after returning home this time. But the current situation made Yang Cheng feel helpless and funny.
