"Darling Ruoxi, could it be that you didn't eat enough for lunch and want to eat some snacks? It's not normal for you to suddenly call me at this time." Yang Cheng said jokingly.
Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Cheng's joke and directly said, "Accompany me to a place after work today."
"Where are we going?"
"I'll tell you when the time comes." Lin Ruoxi said.
"You still know how to be mysterious with your husband?" Yang Cheng said mischievously.
Lin Ruoxi was speechless for a moment, "I'm asking if you want to go or not."
"I'm going. I'll wait for you at your designated parking space after work." Yang Cheng knew that the girl was definitely shy again, so his tone was particularly harsh.
After returning to Yu Lei International, he chatted with a few female public relations people in the office for a while and helped Zhao Hongyan and Zhang Cai deal with some groceries. Originally, he wanted to go to the minister's office to take advantage of Liu Mingyu, but he didn't know if this girl was deliberately avoiding him because she was shy. She was in a meeting with several public relations people in the afternoon. When he brought her a cup of coffee, she didn't even glance at him.
When it was finally time to get off work, Yang Cheng went to the CEO's designated parking space in the underground parking lot. Lin Ruoxi usually parked here.
When he came to the side of the red Bentley, Lin Ruoxi was already sitting in the driver's seat. Obviously, she didn't give Yang Cheng a chance to drive.
After Yang Cheng sat, he looked at Lin Ruoxi with an indifferent expression and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go on a date like last time?"
Lin Ruoxi's face reddened slightly. When it came to dates, she would always think of the time when Yang Chen kissed her in Starbucks under the pretense of wiping cream. Subconsciously, she started the car immediately, not wanting to talk about this topic with Yang Chen.
Yang Cheng fastened his seat belt and looked at the back seat. He found a big cardboard box and asked, "What's that?"
Lin Ruoxi, who was driving the car, said faintly, "It's a gift. You'll know later."
Yang Cheng didn't ask anymore. Even if he did, Lin Ruoxi wouldn't tell him where they were going or what they were going to do.
After more than half an hour, Yang Cheng was shocked to find that the place Lin Ruoxi drove to was actually the place he had been to before — New Hope Orphanage.
It was the same old buildings and the same dense trees. The only difference was the yellowed leaves and the fiery red maple leaves.
Previously, he had come with Li Jingjing. At that time, the two of them were still as close as siblings. But now, even when they met, it was as if they were strangers. They had nothing to say to each other.
While Yang Cheng was sighing with emotion, Lin Ruoxi stopped the car and said to Yang Cheng, "Help me move the box. Let's go in."
"Did you come here to give gifts to the children?" Yang Cheng was puzzled.
"It's getting cold soon. If we continue like this, it might snow. I'm going to give the children some new thermal underwear." Lin Ruoxi said.
Yang Cheng looked at her in surprise. He didn't dare to believe it.
Lin Ruoxi felt uncomfortable under Yang Cheng's gaze. She frowned and said, "What, I can't give gifts to the children?"
"No, I always thought that you were so cold to everyone. I didn't expect that you would think of the children in the orphanage. It turns out that our family's Ruoxi is a kind big sister. "Yang Cheng said with a warm smile.
Lin Ruoxi looked bashful. She rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng. "Hurry up. What are you nagging about? Do I have to move it?"
"Call me 'good brother' and I'll move it for you." Yang Cheng said.
"You …"
Without waiting for Lin Ruoxi to flip out, Yang Cheng immediately chuckled and got off the car. He opened the back door and took out the box. It was quite heavy. It seemed that he had put a lot of underwear inside.
Following Lin Ruoxi, who was fuming, he walked into the orphanage. Hearing the commotion, Principal Cha came out to welcome them. Seeing Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng, he revealed a happy and confused expression.
"Ruoxi, you're here … Mister, long time no see." Principal Cha smiled and greeted them.
After Lin Ruoxi greeted the old Principal Cha, she asked curiously, "Principal, do you know Yang Cheng?"
"Oh, Mister Yang Cheng came here not long ago." Principal Cha only said that Yang Cheng came here before, but didn't mention that Li Jingjing came with him. It could be said that he was old and experienced. He knew that it was better not to say such things. After all, it could be related to other people's privacy.
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng in disbelief and said, "At least you're sympathetic." Then she walked inside.
Yang Cheng smiled helplessly and winked at Principal Cha. "Thank you, Principal Cha. You really know how to talk."
"Hehe, Mister Yang, it's better for a man to know his limits. I see that you're a good person, so I can only help you a little. However, you might have to bear some responsibility later. "Principal Cha smiled mysteriously and followed him into the courtyard.
Yang Cheng thought about what Principal Cha meant and followed him into the courtyard. From afar, he could hear the children's laughter.
When he walked closer to take a look, Yang Cheng's scalp went numb.
He saw a group of children surrounding two young ladies and calling out, "Big Sister." They were begging the two ladies to tell them stories and play games with them.
One of them was Lin Ruoxi. However, at this moment, Lin Ruoxi wasn't as cold as usual. Instead, she was smiling brightly and was as gentle and beautiful as the sun in spring.
The other person was none other than Li Jingjing. Li Jingjing was wearing a light pink vest, her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she wore light makeup. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Lin Ruoxi, her gentle aura made it easier for the children to get close to her.
When Li Jingjing saw Yang Cheng carrying a big box into the courtyard, her gaze froze and she pursed her lips. However, she didn't show any changes and acted as if she didn't know him.
Lin Ruoxi didn't notice anything strange and ordered Yang Cheng, "Put the box there. I'll give it to the children."
"Big Sister Ruoxi, are these gifts for us?" A cute girl with a ponytail asked.
"Yes, they are new clothes. Xiao Ying will feel warm in winter after wearing them." Lin Ruoxi pinched the little girl's face and was actually able to call out the child's name.
Li Jingjing seemed to come back to her senses. She smiled and stroked the heads of the two children beside her. "Big Sister Ruoxi, is that person brother-in-law?"
Lin Ruoxi's expression was slightly unnatural as if it was difficult for her to speak. However, she still nodded. "Yes, I can't stand you always bothering me. Today, I brought him here to meet you. His name is Yang Cheng. I heard that he came here once before. However, looking at his carefree appearance, I find it hard to believe. "
Li Jingjing's eyes revealed a trace of sadness. She forced a smile and said, "He looks quite reliable. How can he be carefree?"
When Lin Ruoxi heard Li Jingjing's praise, she faintly smiled and turned to Yang Cheng. "Yang Cheng, she is called Li Jingjing. She is a good friend that I met here. Today, I mainly brought you here to meet her. She has always been curious about what you look like. "
Yang Cheng bitterly smiled in his heart. Li Jingjing had clearly chosen to pretend that she didn't know him. He naturally wouldn't mindlessly let Lin Ruoxi see that something was wrong. His expression didn't change as he said, "It seems that your good friend has better taste than you, Ruoxi. She can see that I am a good and reliable man with one look."
"Don't talk nonsense in front of the children. You should stand further away." Lin Ruoxi said with dissatisfaction.
Li Jingjing looked at the simple exchange between the two. There was a bit of envy in her eyes. However, she didn't let Lin Ruoxi notice.
Yang Cheng shrugged and didn't say anything. He knew that if he talked to Lin Ruoxi more, Li Jingjing would definitely feel more uncomfortable.
Yang Cheng suddenly felt a bit of regret. If he knew that Li Jingjing was here, he wouldn't have come.
The group of children looked at Yang Cheng and seemed to recognize him. However, after all, the last time Yang Cheng came, he didn't have much contact with the children. After this period of time, they didn't remember much. Moreover, with Lin Ruoxi and Li Jingjing present, they chose to ignore Yang Cheng. This saved Yang Cheng some trouble.
Soon, Lin Ruoxi and Li Jingjing were talking and laughing as they gave the children new clothes. Yang Cheng stood at a corner and watched from afar. Many thoughts ran through his mind.
President Cha slowly walked to Yang Cheng's side and said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, something seems to have happened between you and that child, Jingjing. I'm old, so I have to be thick-skinned and say some things. Since Mr. Yang already married such a beautiful wife like Ruoxi, it's better for you to restrain yourself. Otherwise, you'll be too greedy. "
Yang Cheng nodded, "Yeah, I also think that I'm greedy sometimes. However, I've already promised Jingjing's parents that I won't interfere with her life."
"That's not a bad outcome." President Cha nodded and said, "However, I really didn't expect Ruoxi's husband to be Mr. Yang."
Yang Cheng asked curiously, "President, my wife seems to be very familiar with this place. She even knows the children's names. Does she come here often?"
"Yeah, didn't Ruoxi mention this to Mr. Yang?" President Cha was puzzled and said with a smile, "I thought that Ruoxi would at least tell her family about this place … This child … Hehe, Ruoxi often came here with her grandmother and mother when she was young. Later on, the old madam and madam passed away. Ruoxi came here alone. She really likes the children here and often gives them gifts. During festivals, she would come here to play games with the children and tell them stories when she's free. The children liked her very much, and so did I.
In this world, there are too few people like her who have a good family background, love, and treat these poor children with sincerity. Some people donate money just to gain popularity in society. They're afraid that others don't know about it. Ruoxi has done so much for the children here, but she has never advertised anything. I know that she's the CEO of Yu Lei International. It's really rare to see someone like her who does good deeds silently. "
Yang Cheng finally understood why Lin Ruoxi always went out to do things for no reason. She didn't socialize and didn't have any relatives. He couldn't figure out why she wore flat shoes and why she went out. It turned out that she was going to the orphanage to look after the children.
So, when Li Jingjing told him that she met a beautiful sister and they became good friends, that person was actually Lin Ruoxi?!
Just as Yang Cheng solved his doubts, Lin Ruoxi, who had finished giving out clothes to the children, shouted to Yang Cheng, "Yang Cheng, I'm not going home for dinner today. I've already called Mother Wang. If you don't want to wait, you can take a taxi back first. "
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi was surrounded by a bunch of laughing children. She couldn't easily get away, so naturally, she couldn't care about Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng felt that this scene was amusing and smiled. "Then, you can play with the children. I'll be leaving first."
He didn't want to stay any longer because Li Jingjing would occasionally look at him with a faint gaze. Although it was only for a short moment, Yang Cheng didn't feel good in his heart.
After Yang Cheng said goodbye to President Cha, he walked out of the courtyard alone.
Li Jingjing silently looked at Yang Cheng's back as he left. Her face became paler, but there was a trace of determination in her eyes.
However, Lin Ruoxi, who was immersed in the joy of playing with the children, didn't notice.
