The sudden doorbell made Yang Cheng flip over on the bed and stand up. He made a 'shush' gesture to Catherine and whispered, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. I'll see who's outside before I open the door."
Catherine seemed to have understood something immediately. She covered her mouth and chuckled. She said mischievously, "I thought your marriage was just a farce, but it seems like you really care about that person. I'm a little jealous … Oh yeah, are you afraid that your wife will see you and you won't be able to explain yourself? "
Yang Cheng knew the reason why Catherine was laughing. After all, he used to not care about women at all. Now that he was so worried and nervous, he had really changed a lot.
"It's good that you know. If that person in my family comes and sees you naked in my room, even if I don't die, I'll be frozen by her cold eyes for three months," Yang Cheng said gloomily.
Catherine snorted coquettishly and stuck her tongue out at Yang Cheng. She turned back into her usual childish self, making it hard to tell which side of this woman was real.
"I won't let anyone see me naked. I know how to put on my clothes even if you don't tell me," Catherine mumbled. She had already started to pick up the clothes on the floor and put them on one by one.
The doorbell rang a few more times. Yang Cheng was fast. After putting on his clothes, he scratched his messy hair and walked to the door. He looked through the peephole.
Yang Cheng had martial arts, but he still felt that seeing was believing. He didn't dare to casually rely on his feelings to determine who was outside.
When he saw who it was, Yang Cheng was relieved. He patted his chest and turned to Catherine. "It's Edward. Seems like he's here to pick you up."
Catherine had already covered her voluptuous figure with a relatively thin white shirt. However, the shirt was translucent, and the purple lace underwear underneath could be vaguely seen. She wore a pair of youthful, light-colored denim shorts that barely wrapped around her pair of round thighs, making Catherine, who didn't look very old, look as lively and playful as a young girl in her twenties.
This kind of clothing was probably worn to hide her identity. Otherwise, it would be too casual on a social occasion.
"Actually, I already knew. Last night, I asked Edward to pick me up in the morning. Since Jane isn't by my side, I'm more comfortable with him doing things." Catherine walked to the door and hugged Yang Cheng's neck. She leaned forward and kissed his lips. She smiled and said, "Dear Chen-chen, I'm leaving. If you still want it tonight, I'll come again. But you're not allowed to go through the back door …"
Her parting words almost made Yang Chen's eyes spit fire again. Not only did this woman look like a seductress, even her words and actions were exquisite to the point of captivating.
"Even sitting on the queen's throne didn't make you restrain yourself." Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.
"In front of you, I just want to be the same as before, a pitiful woman who needs to rely on you. I really like that feeling." Catherine pursed her lips and smiled.
"I really don't know what to do with you." Yang Cheng reached out and slapped the woman's butt, "Go out. Although Edward isn't an outsider, we can't let him stand at the door all the time."
Catherine stopped fooling around and obediently opened the door. She greeted Edward, who had a strange smile on his face, "Hua Hua, you're up really early. It's not good to have menopause so early."
Edward, who was just about to make fun of Yang Cheng and Catherine, had the urge to vomit blood when he heard this. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Aunt, you really know how to strike first."
"Of course. After all, the smart Jane was born in my stomach. As a mother, I definitely won't be bad." Catherine pointed at her stomach proudly.
The two joked around and then bid farewell to Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng stood at the door. He had just sent Catherine out. He was about to say "goodbye", but when the words reached his mouth, he couldn't say a single word …
Just then, from the corner of the corridor not far away, a slim figure happened to walk out.
She wore an aqua blue blouse, a simple beige blazer, paired with a short white lace pleated skirt, and a pair of crystal glossy black heels under her clean white stockings.
Lin Ruoxi, who had dressed up meticulously, seemed to be in a good mood. Her footsteps were light, and she walked elegantly as usual. However, the moment she raised her head, she saw Catherine walking out of Yang Cheng's room …
In an instant, Lin Ruoxi's cold face fell into a daze …
Naturally, Yang Cheng also noticed this situation. However, it just so happened that he had to send Catherine out of the room, and he even slapped Catherine's butt. In this kind of situation, there was nothing he could do.
When he saw Lin Ruoxi's face gradually turning into a glacier after staring blankly at him, Yang Cheng could only smile bitterly in his heart. He wanted to cry but had no tears. There was nothing else he could think of.
Catherine and Edward also noticed the strange expression on Yang Cheng's face. They followed Yang Cheng's gaze and saw the woman standing at the corner not far away. They instantly understood the situation.
Catherine was like a child who had done something wrong. She shrunk her head and secretly gave Edward a look, signaling him to leave quickly. Then, she lowered her head and almost ran away.
Edward gave Yang Cheng a helpless expression that said, "I'd like to help, but I can't." Then, he hurriedly fled the scene with Catherine.
When Catherine and Lin Ruoxi brushed past each other, Catherine couldn't help but sneak a closer look at Lin Ruoxi's face. It would have been better if she hadn't looked, but when she did, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She pursed her lips and almost cried. She was beautiful, but why did she have such a cold aura? She really was going to freeze people to death!
That bad boy really was an ordinary person. He even dared to marry a wife like this. Catherine's mind was in a mess, but her feet didn't stop. She quickly took the elevator with Edward.
Yang Cheng stood at the door, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he stood or how he placed his hands. Facing Lin Ruoxi's expressionless face, he smiled guiltily and said, "That … wife, why are you awake so early? I thought you needed to rest more. I'll tidy up a little and go to work with you."
Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Cheng, as if she didn't hear anything. She turned around and was about to leave.
Yang Cheng hurriedly chased after her. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Ruoxi. He grabbed Lin Ruoxi's shoulders with both hands, not letting her go.
Yang Cheng wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to say it. What could he explain? Say that Catherine was just here to visit? Just an ordinary friend?
If that was the case, he even felt that it was low-class to lie.
Lin Ruoxi raised her head. Her eyes were as cold as the abyss. She revealed a sneer of ridicule, "What, you don't even know how to explain, right?"
Yang Cheng was silent. He knew that he couldn't lie to this woman. Although Lin Ruoxi didn't have much experience in relationships, it didn't mean that she was easy to fool.
More importantly, Yang Cheng didn't want to lie to her.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were a little red, but she didn't have any intention of crying. Instead, this kind of expression, in Yang Cheng's eyes, was even more hurtful.
"Let go, don't touch me." Lin Ruoxi coldly ordered, staring at Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng's hands trembled. Even if he held a heavy machine gun with one hand for an entire day, he wouldn't tremble in the slightest. At this moment, it was as if all his strength had been sucked out. He softly fell down and let go of Lin Ruoxi's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Yang Cheng closed his eyes, "Although I know these three words are very cheap, especially at a time like this, I have nothing else to say other than 'I'm sorry'."
"Nothing else to say … Hmph, what a perfect answer." Lin Ruoxi smiled miserably. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She turned her head and said in a faint voice, "Didn't you ask me yesterday if in my eyes, you are a man who wants to trick me into bed all day long? I didn't understand at that time, so I didn't tell you. Now to answer you … "
Lin Ruoxi paused and sneered, "It's not a matter of whether I want to or not. You are simply …. Simply, not worthy of suspicion."
"Ding dong!"
The elevator door opened at this moment and a waiter walked out.
Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything else and directly walked into the elevator.
Yang Cheng didn't turn around. He heard the sound of the elevator door closing and stood dumbfounded on the spot.
After a long time, a self-mocking smile appeared on Yang Cheng's face. His body shook as he laughed crazily.
Slapping his forehead, Yang Cheng let out a sigh and muttered to himself, "Yang Cheng, oh Yang Cheng. It's not easy to be blessed with multiple lovers …"
Grand Hotel Sophia's lobby on the first floor.
When Lin Ruoxi walked out of the elevator, her mind was in a daze and her eyes were a little red. However, her rationality told her that this wasn't the time to shed tears for that man. He wasn't worthy of her tears either.
When no one was paying attention, Lin Ruoxi used her finger to wipe the corner of her eyes. Although her eyes were still red, it didn't matter if one didn't take a closer look.
Goodman was rather reliable. A full-time chauffeur for these few days had already been arranged and was waiting at the VIP parking lot outside the hotel.
Lin Ruoxi knew that she still had work to do. She didn't dare to delay and quickened her pace.
No matter how much pain and unwillingness she felt, her strong and independent heart was the biggest support she had for all these years.
Just when Lin Ruoxi walked past an Italian café in the hotel, she suddenly heard someone calling her …
"Miss Lin, Miss Lin!"
Lin Ruoxi looked in the direction of the café. The voice sounded familiar.
"Here, here! Can you come over for a moment? "
She saw a handsome man in a pink Versace shirt waving at her from a corner of the café. Beside the man sat a graceful silver-haired beauty who was also smiling and waving at her.
"Mr. Stern, Miss Alice," Lin Ruoxi murmured their names. Aren't they the Cromwell siblings that I met last night when I was escaping? Why are they calling me?
In Lin Ruoxi's opinion, an old aristocratic family like the Cromwell Family in England would definitely look down on businessmen. Therefore, although she had a "life-and-death friendship" with the siblings, they wouldn't cross paths in the future since everyone was safe.
Therefore, when she saw Stern greeting her passionately, Lin Ruoxi was confused. She didn't even think about the heart-wrenching incident with Yang Cheng.
