The series of words sounded ordinary, but it caused the smiling Yang Cheng to be completely stunned. He was silent for a long time, his face filled with bitterness and helplessness.
"It's my fault. I know I'm shameless." Yang Chen let out a self-deprecating laugh before raising his head. "I know you feel wronged, so … there's no way I'll divorce you. I'll definitely make it up to you. I'll make it up to you and give you more happiness."
"Happiness? "Heh, I don't need it. As long as you don't bother me, I will be satisfied." Lin Ruoxi sneered, her eyes slightly sparkling.
Yang Cheng shook his head, "No, I will compensate you. I will treat you well, but you have to eat now. These are two different things."
"You …" You scoundrel! "Lin Ruoxi was furious. In the end, she was still so stubborn.
Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "How about this, if you kiss me, baby Ruoxi, I'll leave immediately. I won't ask you to eat immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi's pretty face immediately flushed red. Her gaze flickered as she gnashed her teeth and said, "Why? What's the difference between this and extortion?!"
"Tsk tsk, a wife kissing her husband, what kind of extortion is this?" Yang Cheng curled his lips and shook his head as he sighed.
"This is extortion..." Lin Ruoxi said word by word.
Yang Cheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Alright then, you can eat immediately and kiss me. Between these two, which one will you choose?"
"I... Why do I have to make such an unfair choice?" Lin Ruoxi felt a headache coming on. Why was this person so baffling!?
Yang Cheng didn't say a word. He held onto the back of Lin Ruoxi's swivel chair with one hand and the desk with the other. He bent down and pressed his face against Lin Ruoxi's face.
Lin Ruoxi panicked when she felt Yang Cheng suddenly move closer to her. Her cheeks blushed, and her watery eyes widened as her breathing quickened.
"You … What are you going to do? Don't mess around!" Lin Ruoxi hurriedly said. She averted her eyes and turned her head to the other side, trying not to get close to Yang Cheng.
After a certain distance, Yang Cheng didn't get any closer. Instead, he quietly looked at Lin Ruoxi's side profile. That sparkling white skin, that exquisite outline, under the dim light, was indescribably beautiful.
"Ruoxi, we've known each other for almost a year."
Yang Chen seemed to be clueless as he mumbled the question.
Lin Ruoxi felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but she didn't reply. At this moment, the man's breath was on her cheek, and it was slightly itchy.
"I can see it clearly today. Your side profile is just like your front, it's really beautiful. Especially when the light shines on your side profile, the lines are really perfect … "Yang Cheng said with a faint smile.
The back of Lin Ruoxi's ears were a little hot. She didn't know what she was feeling when a man praised her appearance so directly at such a close distance. She didn't know how she felt in her heart, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
After a long time, Yang Cheng chuckled as if he had thought of something interesting.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "You … What are you laughing at …"
"I'm thinking, if you don't want to kiss me, there are actually other conditions that can be exchanged." Yang Cheng said thoughtfully.
Lin Ruoxi, who had her head lowered, bit her bright red lips. She didn't ask anything, but it was obvious that she wanted to listen. For some reason, she was actually looking forward to it.
Yang Cheng's gaze became incomparably gentle, as if immersed in a haze. He opened his mouth and guessed, "Dear, tell me, do you want to eat … or kiss me?
Or, do you want to eat … or sleep with me?
Or … do you want to eat dinner? Or … do you want to have a child with me?
Ruoxi, do you want to eat dinner … or, do you want to grow old with me … "
…
Silence, the silence of a pin drop could be heard.
Time seemed to freeze in an instant, and the air in the office was so heavy that people couldn't breathe. Lin Ruoxi couldn't hear anything else, and the only thing that kept echoing in her mind was – be with me, grow old with me …
Have a child? Grow old together?
What's wrong with this man's brain? What does this have to do with eating an ordinary dinner!? Also, who wants to sleep with him!?
Lin Ruoxi suddenly stood up from her seat, turned around, and didn't look at Yang Cheng. With one hand on her chest, she was worried that her heart was beating wildly. Her other hand seemed to inadvertently touch the corner of her eyes, wiping away the moisture. After a while, she calmed down and said, "Are you crazy? No, you're a lunatic to begin with. I can't be bothered to lower myself to your level. Isn't it just a meal? Why are you talking so much nonsense? "
After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, she lowered her head and didn't look at Yang Cheng's strange smile. She silently walked to the food, picked up the bowl of rice with one hand, and picked up the chopsticks with the other, and ate in small bites.
"If you want to eat, then eat. Don't say those disgusting words," Lin Ruoxi returned to her expressionless face and said coldly.
Yang Cheng didn't say anything. He slowly sat on Lin Ruoxi's big leather chair, raised his head, and looked at the woman in front of him eating slowly.
Lin Ruoxi felt Yang Chen's gaze fixated on her face. She almost blushed again. She felt a mixture of sourness and sweetness in her heart. She didn't know what was in her mouth at all. All she wanted to do was finish it quickly, fill her stomach, and forget about the existence of this man in the room.
But the faster she ate, the more careless the problem occurred.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly realized that she was choking. She put down the bowl and chopsticks, and patted her chest, but it didn't work. She suddenly had a painful expression, and her eyebrows were knitted.
"Drink some soup, silly. Who asked you to eat so fast?" Yang Cheng stood up and scooped some soup into Lin Ruoxi's bowl.
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng, and drank a few mouthfuls of soup before she finally calmed down. Her face was red with embarrassment, but this matter made her not so nervous anymore, and she calmly relaxed.
"You're the silly one." Lin Ruoxi was unhappy that Yang Cheng said she was silly.
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Silly, when I said you were 'silly', I didn't mean you were silly, I meant you were 'cute'."
Cute?
Ever since she was young, Lin Ruoxi had never heard anyone describe her in such a way. She couldn't accept it, and could only roll her eyes at Yang Cheng. She ignored Yang Cheng and continued eating.
In fact, Lin Ruoxi was indeed hungry after working for half a day, but she wasn't in the mood to eat because she was too preoccupied with work. Now that she couldn't work, her appetite was stimulated, and this little bit wasn't enough.
When they were almost done eating, Lin Ruoxi recalled something and said, "Yoo Yeonhee's concert in Zhonghai will be held tomorrow night. After all, she's a superstar that we're collaborating with. You and I have to go to her concert."
Yang Cheng was stunned, and he raised his brows, "What? That woman's concert?! Isn't she going against us? Why should we go to her concert? It's better if she screws it up. "
Lin Ruoxi glanced at Yang Cheng helplessly, "It's one thing for her to go against us, but we still have to give her some face. As businessmen, no matter how much we hate each other, it won't be wrong for us to be friendly on the surface as long as we can make use of each other. Furthermore, Yoo Yeonhee's background and her management company aren't ordinary people. We can't ignore her just because she doesn't get along with us. We're just going to be there, and we can just slip away when the concert starts. "
Yang Cheng knew that Lin Ruoxi was right. From a business point of view, there wasn't a need to stoop to Yoo Yeonhee's level.
"Alright, we'll go if you say so. I'll listen to my wife." Yang Cheng chuckled.
Lin Ruoxi saw that he wasn't being serious again, so she could only pretend that she didn't see anything.
After eating for a while, Lin Ruoxi seemed to have made up her mind and said, "I'll go with you to Paris in a few days."
"What?!" Yang Cheng thought that he had misheard.
"I said, I'll go with you to the Paris Fashion Week," Lin Ruoxi said softly, seemingly unwilling. "I thought about it just now, and I'm still worried that you'll mess it up and ruin our company's reputation. I'm worried, so I'll go with you. Otherwise, you might cause trouble again if there's no one to watch over you. "
Yang Cheng chuckled and said happily, "If you want to go on a sweet vacation with your hubby, just say it. Paris is indeed a good place to go, and there's no need for it to be related to work. I understand. Actually, Ruoxi Babe likes me a lot."
Lin Ruoxi was exasperated. This guy was too thick-skinned. What was more annoying was that he was acting like a villain intoxicated by success. How did I end up with such a person as my husband? As she sighed in her heart, her stomach was bloated and she couldn't eat at all.
"I'm full. Go away, I have to work," Lin Ruoxi said as she put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"You're full already? Eat more, there's still a lot of meat. "Yang Cheng said as he pointed at the dishes on the plate.
Lin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes, which were filled with an ice-cold chill.
Yang Cheng felt uncomfortable all over and smiled stiffly. He had no choice but to stand up from his chair and let Lin Ruoxi sit. At the same time, he walked to the table and cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks.
Lin Ruoxi sat back on the chair and took back the document that was snatched away by Yang Cheng. She began to read it seriously again, instantly throwing Yang Cheng to the side and ignoring him.
Yang Cheng sighed slightly and smiled. After cleaning up the cutlery, he quietly left the office. He also knew that if he continued to disturb her, Lin Ruoxi would really get angry. Fortunately, the woman had already eaten, so he had nothing to worry about. At least she wouldn't be hungry.
When the office door closed, the room became quiet again. The series of events that had just happened was like a dream.
After a long time, Lin Ruoxi raised her head and looked at the closed office door with her limpid eyes. She was lost in thought …
