The baroque design of the restaurant was integrated with the surrounding shops, exuding a luxurious and restrained atmosphere. Even if they weren't here to eat expensive food, there were still many people who stopped to take pictures.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Ruoxi quietly pulled her hand out of Yang Cheng's. The blush on her face faded as if nothing had happened.
Yang Cheng secretly admired the natural acting talent of women. Just as he was about to enter the restaurant with Stern and the others, a small figure ran in front of him and blocked his way.
"Uncle, do you want to buy flowers?" A boy asked crisply in English with a French accent.
Yang Cheng lowered his head. The little boy in front of him was about ten years old. Because he hadn't reached puberty yet, his body was particularly small and thin. He had a head of yellow hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a dignified appearance, and freckles on his cheeks. He looked very obedient.
The boy was holding a few bouquets of flowers tied with a red string. These flowers weren't roses, tulips, or lilies that were commonly seen in flower shops. Instead, they were flowers that could be found in flower beds and roadsides all over France. Simply put, they were wildflowers picked from roadsides.
Without waiting for Yang Cheng to speak, Lin Ruoxi squatted down and approached the boy. With a gentle smile, she asked, "Little friend, what flowers are you selling? How much?"
Looking at Lin Ruoxi's rare gentle expression, Yang Cheng rubbed his eyes and smiled bitterly. This woman hadn't visited the orphanage for a long time. It seemed that the hidden love was about to overflow in Paris.
Lin Ruoxi was usually intimidating because of her cold temperament. But once she met children, her whole body would be like melted chocolate, which was very popular with children. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so popular in the orphanage in Zhonghai.
Sure enough, the little boy's bright eyes flashed with a few traces of splendor. He said with a tender voice, "Sister, you're so beautiful."
Hearing the boy's praise, Lin Ruoxi smiled even more brightly. She reached out and touched the boy's curly yellow hair intimately. "You're also very cute. What's your name?"
"Harry, my name is Harry. Sister, are you a foreigner?" Little Harry asked.
"Yes, I'm from Hua Xia," Lin Ruoxi said.
"Where is Hua Xia?" Harry asked curiously.
Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Somewhere far away, you have to take a plane to get there."
"Plane?" Harry said excitedly, "Sister, is it fun to take a plane? I always wanted Dad to take me on a plane, but he was so busy that he seldom took me out to play. But Dad said he's going to take me to Disneyland in a few days. We can watch a flying car show there … Hmm … I don't know if flying cars are like airplanes. Have you seen one before? "
Lin Ruoxi frowned slightly as the boy's English was actually French. She looked to Yang Chen for help.
Yang Cheng was helpless. It would be great if this woman's attitude towards children was half the way she treated him, but he still translated for Harry.
Lin Ruoxi understood and continued, "Sister hasn't seen Disney's flying car show, but I believe it's very good. Harry will definitely have a good time."
Harry nodded vigorously. "I think so too. When the time comes, mom will go too. Our family can go on a pirate ship and ride a roller coaster … But I'm a little scared. I don't know if the roller coaster is high. What if dad says I'm a coward …"
"Little guy, didn't you say you were going to sell flowers? Why are you talking about roller coasters?" Looking at Harry mumbling to himself, Yang Cheng couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Ruoxi turned around and glared at him. "Why are you interrupting? The child is talking to me, not to you. Why are you venting your anger on the child?"
"I'm not venting my anger on him … Don't we still need to eat lunch?" Yang Cheng was depressed.
"If you want to eat, go in and eat first. I'm not stopping you." Lin Ruoxi was dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's impatience. She smiled at Harry and said, "Harry, don't mind this bad uncle. If you have anything to say, just say it to sister."
Harry blinked and stuck his tongue out at Yang Cheng. He made a face and said to Lin Ruoxi, "Sister is the best!"
Yang Cheng felt like his lungs were going to explode. This little brat, calling Lin Ruoxi 'sister' and me 'uncle'. Doesn't that mean I'm Lin Ruoxi's elder?!
However, Harry didn't want to continue talking. After Yang Cheng reminded him, he picked up the bouquet in his hand. "Sister, what flowers do you like?"
The bouquet in front of them was simply a bunch of wild flowers. Lin Ruoxi didn't recognize any of them. She randomly picked up a bunch of blue-purple flowers and asked with a smile, "What flower is this? It's pretty. I'll take this one."
Harry beamed. "It's only one euro!"
Yang Cheng clicked his tongue. "Little brat, you're selling roadside flowers for one euro. You'll definitely become a small profiteer in the future."
"Why are you still standing here? You can enter the restaurant now." Lin Ruoxi turned around and said to Yang Cheng coldly. She then took out her wallet from her bag and took out a dark brown five-euro note.
Lin Ruoxi took the flowers but didn't give the money to Harry. Instead, she asked, "Sister can buy the flowers but can Harry tell sister how you earn money from selling flowers? If Harry tells sister, I'll give all five euros to Harry. "
Such a young child was selling wildflowers on the street and trying his luck to earn money. Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but wonder if the child had been kidnapped and was being manipulated by some illegal gang.
Harry stared at the five-euro note in Lin Ruoxi's hand and replied softly, "I … I saw that one of Dad's socks was torn. Dad was still wearing it, so I wanted to buy a sock for Dad … But I wanted to give Dad a surprise, so I couldn't ask Mom for pocket money. So, I thought of selling flowers …"
The boy's English wasn't very good. Maybe it was because one of his parents spoke English in his daily life, so he didn't learn it systematically. He had a strong French accent, but he could still vaguely understand some simple words when they were put together.
After listening to Harry's reason, Lin Ruoxi's eyes were filled with love. She patted Harry's curly hair again and placed the five-euro note in Harry's hand.
"Thank you, sister," Harry smiled brightly. "Now I have enough money!"
"You can't buy socks one by one. You can only buy a pair," Lin Ruoxi scratched the bridge of Harry's nose and said with a smile.
Harry's eyes widened. He was very disappointed when he heard this' unfortunate 'news. "Can't I just buy one? I thought I could buy them separately. "
Faced with the child's innocent expression, Lin Ruoxi couldn't resist at all. She took out a red ten-euro note from her wallet and said, "Sister will give you another ten euros. The socks that Harry bought for Dad are really expensive. I didn't know that socks in France are so expensive."
Harry was delighted at first, but then he was discouraged and didn't take it. "Harry wants to buy a Santa Claus sock for Dad. That sock can hold presents."
Yang Cheng heard this and laughed. "Christmas sock? Your dad's feet are really big. "
"Dad's feet have always been big," Harry argued stubbornly.
Lin Ruoxi didn't laugh at Harry's choice, but she understood why he spent so much money to buy a pair of socks. It was a Christmas present. Although Christmas had long passed, it wasn't a big deal for children to pick a time.
"This money is for Harry. Treat it as a gift from sister!" Lin Ruoxi stuffed the ten-euro note into Harry's hand.
Harry stammered, "Mom told me that I can't just take other people's gifts …"
Looking at the little boy's distressed expression, Lin Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "How about this. Harry kisses sister, treat it as a trade."
When Yang Cheng heard this, he immediately wanted to cry. He pulled a long face and said, "Wifey, you can't play like this! Why do you have to pay for this little brat to kiss you? As your husband, if I want to kiss you, I have to approve it for a long time, and it still doesn't pass!? "
Lin Ruoxi looked left and right at the passersby. Fortunately, no one noticed this guy's loud shouting. She stared at Yang Cheng with her almond-shaped eyes and blushed. "Why are you shouting? Why are you arguing with a child? An adult does such shameless things all day long. The children in the orphanage are much more likable than you. You can kiss me if you want, but I'll think about it when you're as obedient as Harry! "
Yang Chen was on the verge of breaking down after hearing what she said.
At this time, Harry moved closer to Lin Ruoxi's cheek and kissed her.
"Sister, I kissed you. Is that right?" Harry said happily.
Lin Ruoxi nodded. "Harry is so obedient. This time, our deal is successful. Harry can go buy socks for Dad without worry."
Harry nodded excitedly and stuffed the fifteen euros into his trouser pocket. It was bulging there, and Harry guessed that it was the coins he got from selling flowers.
"Sister, uncle, goodbye!" Harry waved at Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng respectively.
Lin Ruoxi watched Harry run away and stood up. She waited until Harry ran far away before turning around and entering the dining room.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but laugh. "Since you like children so much, why don't you just have one?"
Lin Ruoxi's heart trembled. Although she really liked children, she didn't dare to think about having one herself. She was so shy that she didn't know what to say. She just pretended that she didn't hear anything and walked into the dining room to look for the Stern siblings.
Yang Cheng didn't care, but he suddenly had some doubts in his heart. Although it was not very realistic to have a child with Lin Ruoxi, after all, they hadn't even shared a room. But when he had sex with Qiangwei, Mo Qianni, Liu Mingyu, and Anxin, he actually didn't take any safety measures.
Especially for Qiangwei, if she could really have a child, it would be extremely satisfying. Moreover, she didn't have the hidden danger of having enemies in the underworld like before.
However, it seemed that as his strength grew, his ability to have children was inexplicably hindered. Otherwise, Yang Cheng couldn't understand why in the past years, only Seventeen had been pregnant with his child. He didn't always have a foolproof plan every time he did it with a woman. Could it be … really because of the influence of the "God's Stone" on him?
Thinking of these things, Yang Cheng couldn't help but have a headache.
