Having her little secret accidentally exposed, Lin Ruoxi wasn't as shy as other girls who didn't dare to show their faces. Although her face was bright red, she immediately controlled her emotions. She snatched the "walkthrough" from Yang Chen's hands and said, "What are you spacing out for, it's not for you to read."
Yang Cheng smiled faintly and did not speak. Instead, he picked up another book that Lin Ruoxi bought from the car. The name of this book was more straightforward: 100 Rules of Getting Along with Husband and Wife.
"You …" Lin Ruoxi was caught off guard. She bit her lip and grabbed it again. "Hurry up. I'll get in the car first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi got into the car like a gust of wind and slammed the door shut.
Yang Cheng touched his nose. He could not help but feel that this scene was a bit funny. He did not expect that Lin Ruoxi would buy such two books. It was not her style.
On the way back, Lin Ruoxi returned to her indifferent expression. She was even colder than when she came. She did not say a word. In fact, she did not know what to say. She just wanted to get home quickly, close the door in her room, and hide under the covers. She did not want to see anyone!
Yang Cheng saw that she was nervous as if she was facing a formidable enemy. He finally could not help but smile and said, "Do you have to be so serious? It's just two books about the relationship between husband and wife. They are not forbidden books. There is no need to hide them."
Lin Ruoxi suddenly turned on the direction lights. She stopped the car on the quiet road with dim street lights and turned off the engine.
There was a pedestrian street full of small shops. At this moment, the night was silent. There were no pedestrians or cars. It was very quiet.
The lights in the car automatically turned on. The soft yellow glow shone on Lin Ruoxi's cold face, making her look a bit hazy.
"It's funny, right?" Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked in a clear voice.
Yang Chen was puzzled as to why he suddenly stopped and asked such a question. Baffled, he asked, "What's so funny?"
Lin Ruoxi thought he was pretending and sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? I don't even know how to be a wife and how to get along with a man."
Yang Cheng was stunned. Just as he was about to say "no", he suddenly remembered that the two of them did not get along well these days. However, Yang Cheng didn't think that it was purely Lin Ruoxi's problem. After being asked this question, he began to think about what was missing between the two of them.
Lin Ruoxi took his silence as a tacit agreement. Her eyes were a little sad. "You know, just now in the bookstore, when I saw Old Zhao and his wife, although it was very sad, I felt that they were very happy. Madam Zhao couldn't even remember her lover's name. But Elder Zhao still stayed by her side. He let go of everything and stood by her side, accompanying her through her last days. I really envy them … "
"You're still young. Why are you thinking about these things?" Yang Cheng said.
"People will grow old, and people will always want to have a home." Lin Ruoxi continued, "I'm thinking, if one day I can't walk anymore, and my mind is muddled, will you still be by my side?"
"Of course, we're husband and wife." Yang Cheng said with a smile, "I still have this quality."
Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "For now, but what if not in the future?"
Yang Cheng felt strange. "What do you mean by 'for now, but not in the future'? Isn't it the rule of the Lin family that you can only have one lover? Do you want to change husbands?"
Although the relationship between the two of them had always been ordinary, or even not good, if one day Lin Ruoxi suddenly said that she wanted to be with another man, Yang Cheng felt that he would definitely kill that man. Regardless of morality or ethics, he just couldn't bear it.
"I've already said that I'm not a member of the Lin family. That old man has nothing to do with me! I didn't marry you because of that ridiculous rule! "Lin Ruoxi was a little sullen and said solemnly.
Yang Cheng smiled. "You didn't really sign the contract to use me as a shield, did you? I feel that my shield is basically useless."
Lin Ruoxi shook her head slightly. "I admit that I lied to you at that time, but that was actually only a small reason."
"What other reason is there?" Yang Cheng asked.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly blushed and pursed her lips. "I … I'm a very conservative person."
The atmosphere in the car instantly became ambiguous. Yang Cheng held back his laughter and pretended to be serious as he asked again, "That … I didn't hear you clearly … Say it again?"
Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth. This man was acting shamelessly again. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but Lin Ruoxi decided to go all out!
"I'll say it! I'm a conservative woman!! " Lin Ruoxi raised her voice and said clearly, "My grandmother taught me to be faithful to one person since I was young. I can't bear to give my first time to a stranger!"
Yang Cheng smiled and looked at the angry woman. "There's nothing to be ashamed of. You should have said it earlier."
"Don't pretend. You must think that I'm a silly woman." Lin Ruoxi said faintly, "In this era, why do you care so much about the so-called first time? But I just couldn't get over it. I couldn't ignore everything that happened. Even after I found out that you were a mutton skewer seller … I still thought of marrying you."
Yang Cheng was silent. He looked at the depressed woman and asked, "Do you regret your decision?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "It was like that in the beginning. You were vulgar, shameless, unambitious, and indecent … You were completely different from the partner of my dreams … But since the day you rescued me from the warehouse at the port, I've decided to live with you."
The warehouse at the port was naturally referring to the time when they were kidnapped by Lin Kun. Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi didn't ask anything at that time and made such a decision in her heart.
"When I was tied up in the warehouse, I thought that this was probably a chance given to me by God. If you were a coward and didn't think of a way to save us, then I would lose everything. Even Qianni wouldn't have a good ending. So I made a bet with myself that if you came, then I wouldn't think about regretting it anymore. No matter how you treat me in the future, as long as we don't divorce, I would spend the rest of my life with you. If you didn't come, then I would pretend that my life was destined to be such a tragedy. Anyway, there's not much meaning in my life, it's bitter and tiring … "
"What do you mean by there's no meaning in your life? You have such a big company, so many employees like you, you're prettier than anyone else, any man would go to heaven with just one look at you, and you're so rich. How do you mean there's no meaning in your life?" Yang Cheng asked with a sigh.
Lin Ruoxi looked at him coldly and said softly, "When I was young, there was only Grandma and Mom at home. The men in the family didn't want us. When I went to university, Grandma left me, and later, Mom left me too. Only Mother Wang was left at home to accompany me. I didn't finish university and dropped out to manage Yu Lei. These few years, I haven't been able to sleep well. Not only that, but my biological father and others came to deal with me and scold me …
What's the use of having money? What's the use of being pretty? People who are jealous will only think that I used my body to get where I am today. They will only focus on my appearance and ignore the hard work I put in.
You know, even after this year's birthday, I'm only 23 years old. Girls around my age are still studying in university, playing, going to bars, dating, reading romance novels, watching Japanese and Korean dramas, dreaming of becoming the female lead … What about me? I can't play when I want to play, and I can't wear what I want to wear. Every day, he would face the empty office and look at the reports and documents that were filled with data and words. I have meetings with a group of company executives who each have their own ulterior motives, and pay the salaries of thousands of employees … When the stock market is good, I have to urge my employees not to slack off. When sales have problems, I have to pretend to be calm and encourage my employees not to lose heart … "
The lights in the car had automatically dimmed. In the darkness, it was impossible to see the expression on Lin Ruoxi's face. Only two lines of crystal clear tears were particularly clear.
Yang Cheng slowly reached out, wanting to help her wipe away her tears, but Lin Ruoxi immediately turned her head and wiped away her tears, causing Yang Cheng's hand to freeze in mid-air.
"You don't have to pity me, I know what I'm doing. My grandmother told me that a woman can't rely on a man. That man abandoned my grandmother, so my grandmother founded Yu Lei International, and even made Yu Lei International to the scale it is today. I don't expect you to treat me well. I know that I may be a qualified company manager, but I'm definitely not a good wife. You don't like me, but I won't hate you. "
"Who said I don't like you? If I didn't like you, would I marry you?" Yang Cheng said with a frown.
Lin Ruoxi was silent for a while, and said, "You don't understand me. Even if you like me, you only like my appearance. But that doesn't matter. Although I don't know how to be a good wife and wife, I can read books and learn. I believe that one day, I will become a good wife. "
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "This is not a math problem. It can't be solved by reading books, right?"
"Then what should I do?" Lin Ruoxi frowned. She was at a loss. This problem was more complicated than those financial problems for a young female CEO.
Yang Cheng said earnestly, "Let's not talk about this problem first. Ruoxi, you said that you're willing to go all the way with me because I saved you that day. In fact, this isn't a good reason. The only reason why I hope that my wife is willing to be with me is because she loves me. She loves me so much that she can't leave me. Your reason isn't love, but gratitude to me. I don't need your gratitude. I saved you because you're my woman. Do you understand? "
"I'm not a little girl. I'm making a rational judgment." Lin Ruoxi argued.
"Because you're rational, that's why it's wrong! There's no rational love, only rational responsibility! "Yang Cheng said.
Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking about the meaning of his words. But her poor love cells couldn't understand these things at all.
Yang Cheng continued, "Just like today, when you saw Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, an old couple who have been together for a lifetime, you envied and yearned for that kind of love, so it stimulated your desire for a married life. This is a good thing, and it's also human nature. In fact, I also hope to be with you for the rest of my life. As you said, maybe I like your appearance. Of course, it could also be that I want to be responsible for you and be a good husband. I'm not sure myself. But I'm very sure that even if the marriage contract expires, as long as you don't leave me, I won't take the initiative to leave you. I won't leave you for the rest of my life. This is the promise I can give to your man. Just now, you said that you want to work hard to be a good wife, and I'm very happy. But the way you choose to learn how to be a wife is by reading books. That's ridiculous. Do you think that Mrs. Zhao or Mr. Zhao will read the theories in the books and live their lives according to them? "
Lin Ruoxi shook her head. She also felt that this didn't seem very realistic. She asked, "Then what should I do?"
"Follow your feelings. There's no theory to love."
"Feelings? What do you mean, feelings? "Lin Ruoxi began to have a headache again.
Yang Cheng chuckled. "Being in love is a very strange situation between us. Generally, when a man and a woman get together, they fall in love first. There's passion, then there's marriage, then there's responsibility. But for us, there's marriage and responsibility first. You have to be responsible for your life, and I have to be responsible for my actions. We may have the responsibility of a husband and wife to each other, but we lack the love between a man and a woman. "
"Love … Love?" When Lin Ruoxi heard this word, her ears burned red. "I … I don't know how to be in love …"
"This … Actually, I don't know either …" Yang Cheng touched the back of his head. He really didn't understand. In the past, he would just grab women and f * ck them. Now, the women around him didn't say that they had a boyfriend and a girlfriend. They were just lovers.
Lin Ruoxi was discouraged. "Then why did you say so much? It's all nonsense."
"Actually, it's not that there's no way …" Yang Cheng whispered. He glanced at the woman in front of him and enjoyed inhaling the unique fragrance of Lin Ruoxi.
"What way?" Lin Ruoxi asked curiously.
Yang Cheng swallowed his saliva, deliberated his words, and said, "I think … We should look for the love between a man and a woman from a primitive point of view. What is the primitive point of view? It's the contact between the bodies. There's the so-called you in me, and I in you … Yin and Yang are balanced, and the spirit and flesh are intertwined … For example, now, in this car, there are some things that can be done … That … Ruoxi, you understand what I mean … "
Gradually, in the darkness, Lin Ruoxi's breathing became more and more restrained. A cold light flashed in her pair of watery eyes ….
"Rogue!!!"
Lin Ruoxi seemed to be very angry. She shouted and directly started the car. She even changed the gear and stepped on the accelerator!
"Boom —"
The Mercedes-Benz shot out like a small steel cannon. The strong recoil made Yang Cheng stick to the seat!
"Hey! Hey! Don't get excited! Why are you driving so fast!!! "
"It's none of your business!!"
"Big sister, I said it wrong. Can you slow down! We're going to crash!! "
"I'll kill you, you pervert!!"
"Even if you kill me, put down the car's handbrake first!!"
"It's none of your business!"
"F * ck your sister! You're the real road killer!!! "
The bright red taillights drew an electric arc in the night and disappeared at the end of the dark road.
