Lin Ruoxi's skin was exquisite and smooth, just like the finest silk. Yang Cheng enjoyed it very much.
This sudden touch made Lin Ruoxi blush instantly. Yang Cheng's action was as if he was teasing her like a little girl.
"What … what are you doing!" Lin Ruoxi said angrily. Fortunately, no one else saw it. She was the CEO of a multinational company, but her face was touched by a man like a little girl.
Yang Cheng laughed and said incongruously, "Oh, my dear Ruoxi, look ahead. We've arrived at the city. There's light. Hmm … Do you want me to buy you something to eat first? A fast McDonald's? WENDY’S？ Or Burger King? Anyway, we're overseas. Eating some western fast food can be considered as experiencing the life of a foreign civilian. Or go back to Paris for a better western meal? It's up to you, haha … "
Lin Ruoxi clenched her teeth. This guy was changing the topic again. However, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, how do you know where Romilly-sur-Mer is? Have you been here before?"
Yang Cheng secretly thought that it was a close shave. Finally, he didn't insist on his "touch" and explained, "Although the driver who brought us here deliberately drove in the northeast direction at the beginning, it was mainly to confuse us, just in case. When night fell, he changed his direction to the southeast and purposely chose a forest path without any towns. It can be said that this is a very meticulous kidnapping. Even if they knew that we couldn't inform the outside world, they still did a lot of work to keep it secret.
If it's conventional thinking, according to the driving route and time, we should have arrived at the area around Esbly, northeast of Paris. However, this kind of trick can only fool ordinary people. It's still very difficult to fool me. So, I calculated the distance and should be arriving at Romilly-sur-Mer. Also, I felt the heavy water vapor in the warehouse just now. There was also the faint sound of a river, so I guessed that we should be passing through Romilly-sur-Seine. As for why I know these places, it's not because I've been here before. It's just that … I memorized the world map. "
Memorize the world map!?
Even though Lin Ruoxi had seen many brilliant people in the business world, she couldn't quite understand how Yang Cheng did it. She looked at Yang Cheng for a while with a complicated expression. It was hard to imagine that this guy was her husband in name, and he was "picked up" from the market.
Lin Ruoxi turned her head and looked at the bright night view of the city ahead. The car was about to enter the city. She muttered to herself, "Why is it that the more you explain, the more questions I don't understand?"
Yang Cheng pursed his lips and took another puff. He threw the cigarette butt out of the window and said, "It's actually very simple. Don't treat me as a human. Just treat me as a monster. Wouldn't that explain everything?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Ruoxi suddenly raised her voice and reprimanded her.
Yang Cheng was stunned. He didn't understand why Lin Ruoxi had such a big reaction.
"You …" Lin Ruoxi also knew that she was overreacting, but she still said clearly, "You're not a monster. No matter what other people think of you, I don't think of you that way. You can't think of yourself that way either."
Looking at the woman's beautiful eyes that were shining with seriousness, Yang Cheng grinned. "Fool …"
"You're the fool!" Lin Ruoxi said seriously.
"Yes, yes, you're a fool, and I'm also a fool. We're a fool couple." Yang Cheng laughed and sped up the car toward Romilly-sur-Seine.
…
In the 13th arrondissement of Paris, in an ordinary residential area, there were houses scattered among the sparse lights.
Most of the houses here had decades of history. Most of them were exquisite and unique, showing the long history of the country.
In one of the two-story buildings with gray walls and a red roof, a family of three was sitting around an oval dining table, enjoying bacon, mashed potatoes, and toast, which were all very ordinary home-cooked food.
Under the warm light, a boy of about ten years old with curly yellow hair put down the spoon in his hand and looked up at the tall man sitting next to him. "Dad, can we go to Disneyland on Sunday? Many kids in our class are going there."
"Harry, don't mess around. Dad is very busy these days," Harry's mother said in a low voice, pretending to be angry.
The burly man, Harry's father, had a full beard. He raised his hand to stop his wife from scaring his son. He turned around and smiled gently. "Dad has been very busy recently. After this month, dad will accompany Harry to Disneyland to watch a flying car show, okay?"
Harry pouted. "But there's never a time when I'm not busy."
Hearing his son's aggrieved voice, a trace of pity flashed in the man's eyes. His wife, who was sitting next to him, also felt helpless and sad.
At this moment, the man's phone on the table rang.
The man looked at the caller ID, frowned, and picked up the call.
"I'm Fodessa. What's the matter?"
A hurried report came from the other side of the phone. "Deputy Director! We just received news from the police. The missing rich merchants and nobles were found in a warehouse by the Seine River in Romilly. According to the report, an anonymous witness provided us with the clue. We've asked the police to block the news and rescue the VIPs as soon as possible. However, many VIPs are angry and emotionally unstable … "
Fodessa was silent for a moment. "Have you found out the origin of the kidnappers?"
"Yes. As expected, it was done by Apollo's subordinates, the Realm of God. We saw the Golden Sun Totem on the dead kidnappers. However, the background information of these people indicated that they belonged to the Cerberus organization. Based on the analysis, it's very likely that the organization has already submitted to the Realm of God. "
"Cerberus?" A sharp glint flashed across Fodessa's eyes. "Isn't that organization on the verge of disbanding?"
"That's what we thought before. However, it's obvious that the elites of Cerberus that we attacked previously were fake. The real core strength of Cerberus hasn't been destroyed …"
Hearing this, Fodessa clenched his fist. "Got it. Calm down the VIPs first. We can't let this matter get out of hand. I'll head over to the scene now … Oh right, does Director Depney know about this? "
The staff on the other side of the phone hesitated for a moment before replying in a soft voice, "Director Depney said … said … said that you should do as you see fit. You can meet him after you're done …"
Fodessa's face darkened. He took a deep breath and hung up the phone.
Seeing that her husband didn't look well, the woman asked worriedly, "Dear, did something happen?"
Fodessa then realized that he was at home. He forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. You guys continue eating. I have to go out."
Having said that, Fodessa stood up and put on his coat. He was about to leave, but stopped after a few steps.
Fodessa turned around and looked at his son, Harry, who was looking at him eagerly. With a loving smile, he said, "Harry, I promise you that after this month, I'll take you to Disneyland. When you're done with your summer vacation, I'll take you to the Mediterranean for a vacation. We'll go on a cruise, okay?"
"Really?!" The boy, who was on the verge of tears, was overjoyed.
Fodessa nodded heavily, smiled at his wife, and turned to leave …
At the same time, on the N4 motorway from Romilly to Paris, Yang Cheng and the rest in the Bentley were in a different situation.
In the middle of the car, Goodman was holding a bag of McDonald's packages with a blank expression, lost in thought.
Opposite him, the siblings, Stern and Alice, had also received a bag of McDonald's packages. However, the two of them were enjoying their chicken hamburgers.
Just ten minutes ago, Yang Cheng drove into a McDonald's at the edge of the city and bought a few bags of McDonald's packages. Naturally, everyone in the car got a share.
"Mr. Goodman, aren't you going to eat? Actually, the hamburgers are pretty good too," Alice said with interest.
After all, they grew up in a big family and rarely came in contact with such cheap fast food. Therefore, the siblings were enjoying the food.
Goodman said bitterly, "I really don't know what he's thinking. How could he buy such a thing? How could Ruoxi eat such cheap food? And how could she use this to serve the two of you …"
Stern didn't care about Goodman's words at all. After finishing the burger in his hand, he clicked his tongue and wanted more. Seeing that Goodman wasn't eating, he snatched the bag from his hand.
"Mr. Goodman, if you don't want to eat, give me your share too!" Stern took out another hamburger from the bag and said with a smile.
"Yeah, give me the french fries too. McDonald's french fries are pretty good," Alice said happily.
Goodman widened his eyes and looked at the pair of unscrupulous siblings. He was on the verge of tears. Although he felt that the food was too low-end, he wasn't hungry!
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi, who was' abused 'in Goodman's eyes, was sitting on the passenger seat. She was holding the double beef patty cheeseburger that Yang Cheng had bought for her. She was hesitating and couldn't bring herself to eat it.
Lin Ruoxi couldn't remember if she had ever eaten a burger before. In the eyes of most people in Hua Xia, this kind of food was considered foreign. Many people liked to sit in McDonald's or KFC and enjoy their meals. However, overseas, the biggest function of this kind of fast food was to buy and eat it quickly. Most people would only buy it when they drove by and wouldn't even get out of the car. After buying it, they would finish it in the car. There was nothing special about it.
In terms of price, compared to Lin Ruoxi's status, this kind of food was too cheap.
"Why aren't you eating? Your stomach was growling just now. Aren't you hungry?" Yang Cheng was driving with one hand and chewing on the burger with the other. He asked in confusion when he saw that Lin Ruoxi didn't open her mouth.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips. It would be weird if she wasn't hungry. She hadn't eaten anything since she got off the plane. How could she not be hungry?
"Did you do it on purpose?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
"What do you mean?"
Lin Ruoxi pointed at the thick beef burger in her hand. "This burger is so thick. How am I supposed to eat it?"
"Of course, open your mouth wide. Just like me," Yang Cheng said and took another big bite.
"But … but …" Lin Ruoxi found it hard to open her mouth wide to eat a burger like this.
Yang Cheng said sourly, "Yo, your stomach is growling, but you still have to look like a lady. Are you looking down on people who eat hamburgers? That's right, only a boorish person like me would eat this. So my darling Ruoxi still has a bit of princess syndrome. "
"You're the one with princess syndrome! "Don't treat me like a child, there's no need to provoke me. Isn't it just eating a burger? Childish …" Lin Ruoxi felt very upset when she heard Yang Cheng's sarcasm. She glared at him hatefully, then turned her gaze back to the burger in her hand.
In the end, Lin Ruoxi simply closed her eyes, opened her mouth to the fullest, and took a bite.
To be honest, the beef burger with cheese was very fragrant. Although it was easy to put on weight, it was hard to resist. Lin Ruoxi's stomach was rumbling with hunger. After taking a bite, she couldn't help but take big bites.
This was the first time Yang Cheng saw Lin Ruoxi eat with her cheeks bulging. Her originally beautiful oval face now looked like a 'bun face'.
"Look at you. Look at how you've eaten." Yang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After finishing the food in his hand, he reached out and scraped the corner of Lin Ruoxi's mouth with his finger.
Because she ate too fast, a lot of the white sauce remained on the corner of her mouth.
Lin Ruoxi saw the sauce on Yang Cheng's finger that was scraped from the corner of her mouth. She wanted to jump out of the car. This was too embarrassing.
However, the next scene made Lin Ruoxi have the urge to kill herself. She saw that Yang Cheng was very natural. He sucked the finger with the sauce in his mouth clean!
Lin Ruoxi was so embarrassed that she almost choked on it.
Yang Chen also realized that this action was rather ambiguous, but he was thick-skinned, so he didn't think much of it. He looked at Lin Ruoxi, whose ears had already turned red in the dark. Smiling evilly, he said, "What's wrong with that? It's not like we've never kissed before. If Babe feels like you're at a disadvantage, I'll let you put some sauce on my lips, and you'll help me scrape and lick it."
Lin Ruoxi almost fainted. Is there a person who speaks so shamelessly? But she knew that she would be bullied if she said more. She could only continue to vent all her resentment on the burger in her hand and continue to eat. But this time, Lin Ruoxi turned her back and didn't give Yang Cheng any chance to touch her face.
Yang Cheng didn't make any more jokes. He also knew that Lin Ruoxi was really hungry. Everything must have a limit, so he focused on the highway ahead. The Bentley drove quickly to downtown Paris.
