When it was almost mealtime, Yang Cheng tried his best to "chase" Christen out of the house. If he allowed this woman to say a bunch of things to his family, he would be despised again. Yang Cheng did not want his already low status in the family to suffer another setback.
Of course, Guo Xuehua nagged at him for sending the guests away, but Yang Cheng was used to it. Blood was thicker than water. Although there used to be a lot of estrangement between them, they gradually got used to it after spending time together.
The family sat down and was about to eat. Yang Cheng was surprised to find that Lin Ruoxi was not at the table.
Normally, Lin Ruoxi would be at home for dinner at this time. After all, she rarely went out to socialize. He thought that his wife was working upstairs, but now it seemed that it was not the case.
"Mom, where is Ruoxi?" Yang Cheng could not help but ask.
Usually, Lin Ruoxi's routine of leaving early and returning late was very stable, so Yang Chen wasn't too worried about it. However, he was rather anxious that she didn't come home for dinner this time. To put it bluntly, Lin Ruoxi was a super beautiful rich lady with billions of assets. If it wasn't for the fact that she kept a low profile, it was normal for her to appear in the newspaper every two or three days. How could she disappear just like that?
Guo Xuehua and Mother Wang looked at each other with a smile and said, "I thought you only cared about eating. At least you have a conscience to remember that you have a wife?"
Yang Cheng was quite embarrassed. Usually at home because of Lin Ruoxi's coldness, he would not take the initiative to say anything. It seemed that the elders did not mention it, but it did not mean that they were satisfied with this situation. Moreover, the two of them slept in separate rooms.
"How could I forget that?" Yang Cheng said.
"Young Master, Miss just called. It seems that she has something important to do tomorrow. She doesn't have much time to work, so she has to work overtime today to finish some documents. She will not be home for dinner." Mother Wang said with a smile.
Yang Cheng frowned, "Then when did she say she will be back? Is she going to sleep in the office all night? "
Mother Wang shook her head awkwardly. "This … no one knows. Miss has always been so stubborn. No one can stop her."
"This daughter-in-law of mine is easy to talk to about other things, but she's too hardworking when it comes to work. No one can persuade her otherwise." Guo Xuehua had gotten to know Lin Ruoxi's temper during this period of time. She was helpless about her lifestyle.
Yang Chen pouted. He picked up the bowl and started to move his chopsticks. While eating, he said, "If that's the case, Wang Ma, prepare some food later. I'll send it to Ruoxi. Since she didn't say what time she'll be back, she must be staying up late."
Mother Wang seemed to have expected that Yang Cheng would say this. She smiled and said, "The food is ready. Since Young Master is going to send it, of course it is for the best. Miss will be very happy."
Zhenxiu, who was nibbling on a chicken wing, giggled and said, "No way. Sister Ruoxi will be very depressed."
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes. Did she need to say this out loud? It would be embarrassing for everyone.
In any case, the matter was settled. After eating in big bites, Yang Cheng took the thermal cutlery from Mother Wang and went out to the headquarters of Yu Lei International.
Although it was after work, there were still people from the security department patrolling the building of Yu Lei International. However, Yang Cheng was a familiar face. Although the security guards were puzzled as to why Director Yang would bring supper to the company in the middle of the night, they did not ask much.
He took the elevator all the way to the top floor and arrived at the door of Lin Ruoxi's office. It was rare that he did not have to go through the "interrogation" of Wu Yue's cold-faced assistant. Yang Cheng felt that his speed was much faster.
Knock, knock. Yang Cheng knocked on the door. Without waiting for a reply, he pushed open the thick dark red wooden door.
The spacious office was clean and fresh as always. The air was filled with a faint fragrance, mixed with the smell of high-quality sandalwood. It was even more charming.
At this moment, the only light in the office was a long light yellow table lamp on the big mahogany desk. The bright light spread throughout the entire office, making it rather dim, hazy, and cold.
Lin Ruoxi, who was originally immersed in her work, held a pen in her hand. At this time, because she heard the knock on the door, she had already raised her head. Her beautiful hair was not tied up like it was in the daytime. It was a little messy, which set off the woman's beautiful face that was full of tiredness at the moment.
The spring night was always not warm. Lin Ruoxi, who had been sitting for a whole day, also felt cold. In addition to a white lady's shirt, she also wore a black dress jacket. Her figure was not petite, but showed a little delicate, which made people feel more pity for her.
The only thing that did not change was in Lin Ruoxi's bright eyes. At this time, she was staring straight at Yang Cheng, using her eyes to ask why he came.
Yang Cheng was not surprised by his wife's silence. He guessed that she was angry at him for disturbing her work. As for why he came, she didn't even want to know.
"Ruoxi babe, don't look at me like you're going to eat me. I'm here to deliver dinner with good intentions." Yang Cheng smiled as he walked up and slowly placed the lunchbox on the desk.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the many layers of the lunchbox and frowned, "I already told Mother Wang not to eat, but she still delivered it."
"You're a woman. How can you not eat? If your body collapses, what's going to happen to Yu Lei International?" Yang Chen half-joked as he opened the lunchbox and took out some food from it.
"Don't take it out, I don't want to eat yet." Lin Ruoxi hurriedly stopped him, "After I finish reading the documents here, I will eat by myself. You can put the food down and leave."
Yang Cheng glanced at the stack of documents in Lin Ruoxi's hand and said gloomily, "It's just that stack of things, won't it be daybreak by the time you finish reading it? Aren't you clearly making my mission to deliver food fail? No, no, you have to eat immediately. I'll watch you finish eating. "
Saying that, Yang Cheng couldn't be bothered with Lin Ruoxi's obstruction. He minded his own business and took out four side dishes, a bowl of soup, and even a bowl of rice, taking up a large space on the desk.
In an instant, Lin Ruoxi's neat desk became half a dining table. The air was filled with the rich smell of food, stimulating one's appetite.
Lin Ruoxi had a headache. This man had always done things his own way. On the surface, he seemed to be afraid of her, but when it came to matters, he was the one making the decisions and wouldn't listen to anyone.
"If I don't finish reading these things, I won't be in the mood to eat. Leave the food here and go!" Lin Ruoxi shook her head weakly and lowered her head to continue reading the documents.
Yang Cheng already knew that this woman wouldn't be so obedient. He snorted and walked to Lin Ruoxi's side, snatching the stack of papers from her hand.
"What are you doing!?" Lin Ruoxi turned around angrily and raised her head to look at Yang Cheng hatefully. On her beautiful face, the originally pale complexion had a hint of red caused by anger.
She was already upset about work, and at this moment, she was not in the mood to eat at all. It was fine if this man didn't help her, but she couldn't blame him for bringing her food. Could it be that she had to do whatever he said!?
Yang Cheng looked at Lin Ruoxi's cold face and smiled, "It's nothing, I just thought, since you can't put these things down yourself, I'll help you keep them, then you can only eat first."
"Why should I listen to you!?" Lin Ruoxi asked angrily.
Yang Cheng chuckled, "Of course you have to listen to me. Who asked me to be your husband?"
"Hmph, what a joke …" Lin Ruoxi glanced at Yang Cheng disdainfully, "I wonder who's the one who fooled around with other women all day long. He doesn't care about his identity at all. Why did he suddenly change his mind today? Why don't you just accompany those vixens of yours? Why do you have to worry about me eating? It's not like I'll starve to death."
Yang Cheng rubbed his chin with his left hand and said with a stiff smile, "How can you say that …" I've always been concerned about my Ruoxi baby. How can other women compare to you? You're the real wife who got married with me. "
"I don't care." Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth, "Return the documents to me and leave immediately. I'll pretend that nothing happened."
Yang Cheng's expression turned serious, "No, I've told you many times, you can't work so hard. No matter if you want to stay up all night or not, you have to eat first. I won't allow you to abuse yourself like this."
"You …" Lin Ruoxi pointed at Yang Cheng, wanting to say something, but when she thought about Yang Cheng's thick skin, she felt that it was useless.
Yang Cheng looked at Lin Ruoxi's angry look. The icy beauty's charming appearance was truly charming. The corner of his mouth curled into an evil smile. After pretending to think for a moment, he bent down and said gently, "Baby, how about this, if you promise me one thing, I won't care if you eat or not, and I'll go home immediately."
Lin Ruoxi sneered, "Why should I promise you something? It's not like I owe you anything. The last time I asked you to borrow money, I promised you that I wouldn't bother with your lovers for a year and get along peacefully. I've already done it. Whether it's Qiangwei or Anxin, I've always been polite. Don't you think you're cruel?
You keep saying that you're my husband, but this is how you treat your husband!? What else do you want me to promise you this time? Just because I don't want to eat and I want to work, what do you want me to promise you!? You might as well divorce me!! "
The woman's clear words were like drops of icy rain falling in the air ….
