He had been in Hong Kong for the past few days, and his phone had been on standby. When he returned to Zhonghai, he didn't have time to charge his phone after quarreling with Lin Ruoxi. As a result, the phone that hadn't been charged for more than a week finally ran out of battery! And it ran out of battery at the "right time"!
Yang Cheng scratched his head in distress. No matter how capable he was, he couldn't charge his phone with his bare hands, and he didn't have any brainwaves to directly contact Lin Ruoxi.
Sadly, although Yang Cheng had an amazing memory, like most modern people, he used his phone's address book. He didn't know how to remember people's phone numbers, so he couldn't use a public phone even if he wanted to.
After thinking about it, Yang Cheng had no choice but to go back to the scene of the crime.
Yang Cheng looked around, and it just so happened that the nearest place was a random clothing store. He ran in quickly, glanced around casually, and chose a short-sleeved shirt and cropped pants from a few clothes racks. He also took a sun hat and ran into the fitting room.
Three minutes later, Yang Cheng walked out of the clothing store with a different look. He lowered his head and dressed in a hip-hop outfit. It was impossible to tell that he was the original office worker.
At the same time, at the entrance of Hua Xia Bank, the police surrounded the crime scene with yellow warning banners. Even the reporters were blocked outside, and the public was not allowed to enter at will.
The internal police were questioning the bank's senior management about the details of the crime, and many investigators were collecting specific evidence of the crime in the scene in an orderly manner.
At this time, a red Bentley, like a rainbow, suddenly braked at the edge of the flower bed next to the crime scene.
Wearing a white cotton sportswear, Lin Ruoxi, with her hair down, hurriedly ran out of the car, slammed the door, and quickly walked toward the warning banners.
A police officer who was in charge of the scene immediately blocked in front of Lin Ruoxi and said nervously, "Miss, the crime scene is temporarily closed!"
"Go away, I'm looking for someone," Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
"Sorry miss … I really can't let you in." The police officer was still a young man. His face turned red when he saw the icy beauty in front of him, but he still insisted on doing his job.
Lin Ruoxi ignored him and stepped forward, wanting to force her way in.
After all, she was a woman who had been the CEO of a large company for a long time. At this moment, Lin Ruoxi's gaze directly made the male police officer's legs go weak, and he didn't dare to stop her.
"Sigh! What are you doing, woman!? "
A policewoman with a sharp voice happened to arrive. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was about to force her way in, she immediately grabbed Lin Ruoxi's arm and pulled her back.
Lin Ruoxi struggled to break free and looked at the policewoman angrily. "Don't touch me!"
"Yo, I can't touch you? Who do you think you are? The police are working on a case. What are you doing here? Are you an associate of the terrorists or an expert in our department? Why should I let you in? "The policewoman laughed sarcastically.
"I said, I'm looking for someone!" Lin Ruoxi's voice rose by several degrees, but she was still a young girl in her twenties. Facing a forty-year-old policewoman in front of her, her imposing manner was a bit weaker.
The policewoman sized up Lin Ruoxi and snorted. "Looking for someone? This is called obstructing official business! Something happened here. It's not like there's only one victim. Why didn't the victim's family run in like crazy like you? Look at you, a pretty girl, is there something wrong with your brain?! Do you think that because you're pretty and you drove a luxury car, we, the police, deserve to let you in? Do you think the whole world owes you? Don't you see so many enthusiastic people around? The victim's family are all waiting obediently!? "
Saying that, the policewoman pointed at the crowd outside the police cordon. Indeed, there were some people who were already dissatisfied with Lin Ruoxi's sudden intrusion and looked at her with unfriendly expressions.
Lin Ruoxi was stunned on the spot. The words of the policewoman kept echoing in her ears. "Do you think that because you're pretty and you drove a luxury car, we, the police, deserve to let you in? Do you think the whole world owes you? "
Similar words had just been said to her by that man last night. Today, there was another stranger saying the same thing to her …
Lin Ruoxi's pretty face was pale, and her breathing was a bit labored. The colorful gazes around her made her realize for the first time in her life that she was so unpopular.
Silently turning around, Lin Ruoxi wanted to walk back to the car. But after a few steps, she couldn't help but turn around and ask the policewoman with a pleading tone, "I … I just want to see someone. I want to know how he is. Can you let me in …"
If she didn't remember wrongly, Lin Ruoxi knew that this was the first time she used such a tone to speak to someone. It was so humble, so weak …
The policewoman seemed to be able to understand Lin Ruoxi's feelings at the moment. Her expression softened a little, but she still shook her head, "Rules are rules. If you want to see the hostage, you have to wait until the scene is settled."
Lin Ruoxi bit her thin lips, turned around sadly, and walked back to the car.
Sitting in the car, Lin Ruoxi's eyes immediately turned red. She lowered her head, and tears fell like a broken string of pearls, one by one.
She didn't know why she wanted to cry so much, but she couldn't help that kind of sourness. Perhaps it was self-blame, or perhaps it was shame, or perhaps it was grievance. No matter what, Lin Ruoxi felt that everything around her made her feel helpless. A feeling of powerlessness arose in her heart, and she felt that she was about to collapse.
After quarreling with Yang Cheng yesterday, although Mother Wang had comforted her, she had been fighting an intense internal struggle in her heart. Her pride didn't allow her to bow down to a man easily, but Yang Cheng's words when he left, his determination, had deeply hurt Lin Ruoxi's heart, causing her faith to waver, and her confidence to loosen.
Originally, she thought that she could stand firmly in her original position, and wouldn't compromise because of such a thing. In fact, that was how she had gone through her previous life experience. She just needed to be herself, and no one could force her to change!
But unexpectedly, when she flipped to the headlines that morning, Yang Cheng's face flashed across the bank robbery case. When she saw the eye-catching words under the headlines, such as "Many people injured" and "Strong firepower", Lin Ruoxi could no longer suppress her emotions.
For the first time, even she felt inexplicably out of control. Lin Ruoxi didn't change her clothes or tidy up her makeup. She rushed out of the house with the car key and went all the way to the crime scene!
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Ruoxi slowly realized that in her heart, she had actually put the man she called "husband" in such an important position. She was worried for him, anxious for him, afraid for him, and confused for him!
Lin Ruoxi sobbed, and her head slowly leaned on the steering wheel. Her hair fell down, and she looked lonely and sad …
"Hey, you drive such an expensive car. Don't you know to lock the door when you get off?" A voice came from the passenger seat.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly raised her head and looked next to her. Yang Cheng, who was wearing a cap, was smiling at her.
"How did you …"
"What happened to me?"
"You …" Lin Ruoxi wanted to ask if Yang Cheng was injured, but now that she saw the same lazy smile, Lin Ruoxi was speechless.
Yang Cheng looked at the woman in front of him, who was crying so hard that her eyes were red like peaches. He sighed and took a soft tissue from the paper box in the middle of the car. He naturally reached out and tucked the corners of Lin Ruoxi's eyes.
Her tears quickly soaked a large piece of tissue, and it was like a spring, unable to be wiped off.
Soon, Yang Cheng took another three tissues, but Lin Ruoxi's tears were like a flood released from the floodgates, and it was endless.
Yang Cheng frowned. "What are you crying for?! I'm leaving if you keep crying! Are you done with your crying?! "
When Lin Ruoxi heard that Yang Cheng was leaving, she immediately reached out to wipe her eyes and choked back her tears. She pouted her pink lips and looked at Yang Cheng pitifully without saying a word.
"Phew." Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this woman could be scared when she cried. This was a good experience. He smiled and said, "I say, General Lin, can't you give me a call or something? Why did you drive here in such a hurry? And you still want to barge in? This is not the style of the wise and calm General Lin. "
Lin Ruoxi rubbed the corner of her clothes and whispered, "I … I was too anxious just now."
Yang Cheng was stunned. Too anxious? What's the rush? Anxious for me?
Anxious to the point that I can't make a rational judgment, and even want to barge in and confront the police.
He thought that she was silly just now, but now she seemed so cute.
Thinking about it, Yang Cheng's heart warmed. This was a different kind of warm feeling. Yang Cheng didn't know whether it was the love of a partner or the care of a family, but he suddenly enjoyed the sound of Lin Ruoxi's sobs at this moment, because it made him feel his weight in a woman's heart.
No matter how powerful a person was, what he did was nothing more than to let the people he cared about appreciate and value him. Narcissism was just boring self-comfort.
"Yang Cheng … Are you okay?" Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't speak, Lin Ruoxi thought that he was not feeling well or injured, so she immediately asked.
Yang Cheng shook his head. "I was just thinking, why were you anxious when I treated you like that last night?"
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Then she said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was too much and too willful. I apologize to you."
Although he was mentally prepared, Yang Cheng was still surprised to hear such words from Lin Ruoxi's mouth. He smiled and said, "General Lin, I'm very flattered by your sudden action."
Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips. "You still won't forgive me, right?"
"I've never really resented you. Your temperament is caused by the living environment you grew up in and your work experience. It's not incomprehensible for you to do that."
"No, you definitely haven't forgiven me." Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng with certainty, her eyes full of hidden bitterness.
"Why?" Yang Cheng asked.
Lin Ruoxi murmured, "You used to … don't … don't call me … General Lin …"
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. "My good wife Ruoxi, so you always liked me to call you that. What did I say? My wife, you're very coquettish on the inside!"
"You're the one who's coquettish on the inside!"
Lin Ruoxi's face instantly blushed. She was so beautiful, but she finally put down a big stone in her heart. Only then did she believe that Yang Cheng didn't really blame her.
Yang Cheng looked at the woman in front of him with a trace of satisfaction and said with emotion, "Ruoxi, have you realized that we're becoming more and more like a normal husband and wife?"
"Huh?" Lin Ruoxi raised her head, obviously not understanding what he meant.
"Between us, there's a cold war, there's bickering, there's disputes, there's communication, there's reconciliation. You'll be worried for me, and I'll be thinking for you … Actually, these things are all experienced by ordinary couples in their daily lives. No one could be happy and sweet together all the time. The small struggle between husband and wife could always bring new feelings and experiences. Of course, we're still lacking a lot, such as sweet words, support each other, understanding and tolerance … "Yang Chen said slowly," But I think we're definitely heading towards the most beautiful destination. One day, we'll be able to enjoy the happiness that ordinary couples have. As long as we can trust each other, that day won't be too far away. Look, the current you, can't you already accept me calling you little Ruoxi, baby Ruoxi? "
After saying that, Yang Cheng winked at her.
Lin Ruoxi was a little fascinated. She calmly smiled and nodded, "I'll try my best to change it. Next time you go on a business trip, I'll call you to express my concern."
Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl took it as a call to express her concern the next time he went on a business trip. He quickly explained, "Not only this matter, but other small details in life are also good ways to improve our relationship. For example, we give each other small gifts from time to time, go shopping together, watch a small movie, eat some snacks in a small restaurant that we can't usually eat. I think these kinds of life are good experiences for you and me. "
Lin Ruoxi blushed and said, "I don't really understand these things …"
Seeing his iceberg wife suddenly become like a young lady in love, filled with rich emotions, Yang Chen felt that it was novel, and at the same time, he felt a little playful. He reached out his hand to cover his left chest, and acted as if he was in pain. "Hiss", he sucked in a breath of cold air.
As expected, Lin Ruoxi became nervous, "Yang Cheng, what's wrong with you? Are you hurt? Didn't you just say you weren't hurt!? "
"Hehe, I wanted to hide it from you. I was grazed by a bullet, but it's not serious." Yang Cheng said "painfully".
When Lin Ruoxi heard "grazed by a bullet", she immediately asked, "What should we do? I'll send you to the hospital, right now! "
"No need …" Yang Cheng sincerely said, "Put your hand on my chest, touch it, rub it, and I'll feel much better …"
"Oh …"
Lin Ruoxi didn't think too much. She stretched out her white and slender palm, wanting to press on Yang Cheng's chest …
Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi's movement paused. Her watery eyes, which were originally filled with worry and worry, were filled with a layer of doubt. Gradually, the doubt turned into a dark cloud. Her pretty face, which had a concerned expression, also returned to its usual frosty expression, and even became a lot colder.
Lin Ruoxi sneered and asked Yang Cheng, "What kind of gunshot wound? Is it that if I rub it with my hand, you'll feel much better? "
Yang Cheng knew that his little trick had been seen through by Lin Ruoxi, who had regained her calmness, so he could only smile.
"Yang Cheng! You just said that we should trust each other! You … you lied to me so quickly!!! "
After a scream, the car shook. Under the surprised gaze of many people, Yang Cheng escaped from the front passenger seat in embarrassment. He didn't even close the door as he ran away from the scene!
