In the living room, the bright light shone on the pale-colored sofa, making it soft and peaceful.
Yang Cheng slowly approached and took a closer look. He suddenly froze on the spot.
He only saw Lin Ruoxi in cotton pajamas curled up on the sofa like a kitten, facing the door with her hair hanging on the side of her face.
Although there was an automatic heater in the room, once a person fell asleep, the temperature was far from enough.
Lin Ruoxi felt cold in her sleep. Her body was tightly hugged, and her lips were slightly pale from the cold. She looked so pitiful.
Yang Cheng's heart warmed. He was angry and amused at the same time. She was so determined during the day, and now she was waiting for him in the living room in the middle of the night. This woman's mind was really hard to understand.
Quietly approaching the sofa, Yang Cheng pondered whether he should carry her upstairs to sleep or find a blanket for her.
At this moment, she seemed to hear a slight movement. Lin Ruoxi drowsily opened her hazy eyes. Her drowsy look made her exquisite features even more beautiful.
Lin Ruoxi quietly looked at Yang Cheng standing in front of her, as if she was confirming whether she was dreaming or not.
"Did I wake you up?" Yang Cheng asked apologetically with a smile.
After a long silence, Lin Ruoxi quietly sat up and turned her head to look at the clock hanging on the wall. It was two o 'clock in the morning.
"I fell asleep watching TV. I'm going up to sleep." Lin Ruoxi secretly looked at Yang Cheng. Seeing that he was fine, she calmly said and got up to go upstairs.
But because she had curled up for a long time, one of her legs was squeezed. Just as she was about to stand up, her entire leg went numb.
"Ah …"
She was already a little dizzy. Her legs were weak, and Lin Ruoxi was about to fall onto the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Yang Cheng quickly reached out to hold Lin Ruoxi's arm and leaned her against his chest to prevent her from falling.
"Look at you. Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to sleep on the sofa, why don't you cover yourself with a blanket? Don't you know that you will catch a cold?" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
As soon as she leaned against Yang Cheng's chest, Lin Ruoxi smelled a masculine scent. Her heart slightly softened, and her face blushed.
However, Lin Ruoxi's sharp senses soon picked up the scent of perfume that only women would have on Yang Chen's body.
Because he had been in Qiangwei's room for a long time, and he had sat with Qiangwei for a long time in the car, there was naturally a lot of body contact. Yang Cheng didn't feel much of the remaining scent on his body, but as a woman, Lin Ruoxi smelled something strange.
The trace of sweetness that she had just now disappeared immediately. Lin Ruoxi felt a burst of bitterness in her heart. She bit her lower lip, and her eyes were a little misty …
This guy, I stayed up late at home alone to wait for him, worried that something would happen to him, but he actually had fun with other women outside!
"Let me go. It's none of your business!" Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
Yang Cheng didn't understand what he had done wrong again. Why did this woman suddenly get angry when she was just fine and made him feel warm? When these words came out, the tone was as cold as the winter.
Yang Cheng had to let go of Lin Ruoxi's soft body that exuded a strong and fresh body fragrance. He smiled stiffly as he watched her walk to the stairs step by step.
"If I come back so late in the future, you don't have to wait for me. I'll be fine. You're too tired." Yang Cheng said with some distress.
Lin Ruoxi held the railing of the stairs and said without turning her head, "Don't be narcissistic. I said that I fell asleep watching TV. No one waited for you."
"You fell asleep watching TV? You still remember to turn off the TV?" Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. This excuse was too lame. What was there to be shy about?
Lin Ruoxi stopped and turned her head back. Her eyes were a little red. She sneered and snorted as if she was mocking herself, "That's right! I'm stupid! I don't even know how to lie to you! What am I? What is this place? You have women outside, but I'm nothing in your eyes! You have a lot of women and people who want to spend the night with you! When you want to come back, you come back. When you want to leave, you leave. Even if you spend the night outside, you don't say a word! You don't even make a phone call! Why did I wait for you? I'm stupid. I know that I'm nothing in your eyes. I'm nothing. Why would I do such a stupid thing … Don't worry. I won't lie to you in the future. Because I won't wait for you here like a fool like tonight! "
After she finished speaking, Lin Ruoxi resolutely turned around and walked up the stairs with difficulty.
Yang Cheng stood in the same place. Lin Ruoxi's words made him a little confused.
Go back when you want to, go when you want to …
Looking at the back of the exhausted figure walking up the stairs step by step, Yang Cheng suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness and fear. It was as if Lin Ruoxi wasn't walking to the second floor of the villa, but a parallel line that would never intersect!
"Wait! Lin Ruoxi, stop right there! "Yang Cheng shouted.
Lin Ruoxi's figure paused, but she didn't turn around. She just stopped in the middle and remained silent.
Ever since they got married, this was the first time Yang Cheng called her by her full name. He called it so seriously.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Lin Ruoxi, if I come back late next time, I'll definitely call. Although, I'm not used to having someone wait for me at home. Also, in order to not let that person wait for me, I have to make a phone call. If I come back late, I have to explain why. For me … it's still very difficult. Because I haven't had such a habit in the past twenty years. So, I've neglected it. I hope you can understand me. But in the future, if I come back late, I'll make a phone call and explain the reason. "
"You, this home, is not a person who is nothing to me. It's not a place that is nothing to me. Absolutely, not … "
Lin Ruoxi raised her head slightly and ran upstairs without saying a word. She ran back to her bedroom and closed the door.
Yang Cheng let out a long sigh and forced a smile. He turned around and looked around the living room. After a while, he turned off the lights and went upstairs to rest.
The next morning, Yang Chen's charged phone on the bedside table vibrated early in the morning.
Yang Chen picked it up casually and put it to his ear.
"Good morning, hubby. I hope I didn't wake you up." It was Qiangwei who greeted him timidly.
Yang Cheng closed his eyes and smiled. "You already know the answer. How's the situation?"
"With Secretary Fang and Chief Cai's cooperation, and Dongxing losing so many important Hall Chiefs and Branch Chiefs, the attack last night was actually meaningless. Zhou Guangnian didn't even have time to resist. But in the end, when we went to his house, there was something strange. "
"How strange?" Yang Cheng asked lazily.
Qiangwei said, "Chief Cai and I went there together. We saw that Zhou Guangnian was killed before we arrived. He was shot in the head, and the way he died was very strange. He was kneeling on the ground."
"What about other aspects?" Yang Cheng didn't care too much.
"Zhou Dongcheng ran away with some of his confidants, so we couldn't catch him. But because the military's lockdown will only last until this morning, it'll be harder to catch him." Qiangwei said with some regret.
"It's okay. He's not an ambitious person. We don't have to deliberately make things difficult for him. We just need to take some precautions."
"I think so too, so I asked my subordinates to clean up the mess and ignore him." Qiangwei said casually. "Hubby, you go back to sleep. I'm going to work."
"Don't be too tired. You can give some things to Little Zhao and Rongrong to do. Once you get those elites back, you should let them get some benefits. After all, it's not good to be a spy."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng didn't have the mood to sleep anymore. It happened to be the weekend. Yang Cheng planned to go to the hospital to visit Yuan Ye after breakfast. After all, this was the most important thing at the moment.
When he went downstairs, Mother Wang had already put a hot breakfast on the table. They ate rice this morning because there were a lot of cold and hot dishes on the table.
Yang Cheng saw that Lin Ruoxi hadn't come downstairs. He wondered if that girl was still angry and refused to see him. But there was no other way. If he trespassed into someone's boudoir, it would be unbearable.
"Son-in-law, you came down. You came back very late last night. You're safe and sound. Miss and I were very worried about you." Mother Wang said with a comforting smile.
Yang Cheng asked doubtfully, "Mother Wang, what do you mean?"
"After breakfast yesterday, the second miss of the Cai family called and asked Miss not to go out. She said that Zhonghai was not safe last night. But you didn't come home and you couldn't get through the phone. We were very worried that something happened to you." Mother Wang said.
Yang Cheng's thoughts turned over. He thought of how Lin Ruoxi curled up on the sofa last night. He felt ashamed. She should be angry at him. Not only did she wait for him, but she was also worried about him.
"Son-in-law, look at the dishes on the table. You didn't eat much last night. I heated most of them this morning. Son-in-law, you should eat more!" Wang Ma passionately scooped a full bowl of rice for Yang Chen, "Originally, it was supposed to be a welcoming dinner for Young Master last night, since you just got home. Miss even specially made a dish for you for the first time, but Miss said it didn't look good, so she didn't eat a single thing."
Yang Cheng thought he heard wrong. "Ruoxi cooked?"
"Yes, it's this plate of lettuce." Wang Ma pointed at the plate of salted lettuce that had turned yellow. Because of the sesame oil, after one night, the lettuce seemed to stick together. "Young master, do you want to try it?"
Yang Cheng smiled and nodded. The image of Lin Ruoxi cooking clumsily in the kitchen appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but laugh.
He took a big mouthful of rice with his chopsticks. He didn't care about the taste anymore. He just ate and smiled.
"Son-in-law, how is the taste? Will Miss have potential in cooking in the future?" Mother Wang asked with a smile.
Yang Cheng only cared about eating. He couldn't be bothered to speak. He just nodded his head vigorously.
After a while, two big bowls of rice were down. Yang Cheng was almost full. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi didn't come downstairs, Yang Cheng told Mother Wang that he was going to the hospital to see a patient and went out first.
After Yang Cheng left, Lin Ruoxi quietly walked down from the second floor. She walked to the dining table and looked at the plate that Yang Cheng only had a few pieces of lettuce left. She was a little lost in thought.
Mother Wang smiled meaningfully. "Miss, it seems that young master is very satisfied with the dishes you made. He only ate what you made."
Lin Ruoxi blushed unnaturally. She curiously picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of lettuce. She carefully put it in her mouth …
"Oh … Oh! Pah pah pah … "
Lin Ruoxi frowned and stomped her feet. She said resentfully, "It's so salty. Did that heartless guy grow up eating salt?!"
Mother Wang saw Lin Ruoxi's angry but happy face. She couldn't help but snigger.
