Yang Cheng smiled and nodded at Mother Wang, then said to Xu Zhihong, "Young Master Xu is really attentive. You came earlier than me, your husband."
Xu Zhihong smiled modestly without changing his expression, "Mr. Yang must be joking. I've been friends with Ruoxi for many years. When I heard that she was sick, I rushed over."
"Oh …" Yang Cheng had a look of realization on his face. He moved forward and laughed strangely, "Since Young Master is here to visit, you should have brought some gifts, right?"
Xu Zhihong scolded in his heart, "Shameless." He said, "I only brought some fruits." He pointed to the fruit basket beside the bed, "I know that Ruoxi doesn't like extravagance, so I just wanted to express my sincerity."
Yang Cheng walked to the side of the basket and picked up a red apple. He weighed it in his hand and said disappointedly, "It's a real apple."
Xu Zhihong said doubtfully, "Of course it's a real apple. What does Mr. Yang mean?"
"Hehe." Yang Cheng said with some regret, "I thought that a rich man like Young Master Xu would give an apple made of gold. Who knew that it was just an ordinary apple with no other meaning."
Xu Zhihong only felt that his lungs were a little swollen. How was this man's brain born!? Golden apple!?
Wicked! Untouchable! Rascal!
"Mr. Yang really knows how to joke. Hehe." Xu Zhihong said with a forced smile.
Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on the bed, didn't look back at the two. At this moment, she glanced at them. Seeing Xu Zhihong's forced smile, the corner of her mouth slightly twitched.
If it wasn't for the Xu family's power and business cooperation, Lin Ruoxi even wished for Xu Zhihong to disappear from this world. After all, if it wasn't for him, Lin Kun wouldn't have caused so much trouble, causing her already exhausted heart to become haggard, and now she was lying on the sickbed.
It was a pity that she couldn't do anything to Xu Zhihong, so in a sense, what Yang Cheng did was also what Lin Ruoxi wanted to see.
Yang Cheng obviously wouldn't give up so easily. He waved his hand and said, "I know Young Master Xu's ability. A Golden Apple is definitely not a problem. It just depends on whether you're willing to give it or not. Of course, such a precious thing, although it might not be worth anything in Young Master Xu's eyes, it was still not good to casually give it to someone he wasn't familiar with. So us husband and wife won't force it. If Young Master Xu can give us a real apple, we'll be deeply grateful. "
With that said, Yang Cheng pulled out a napkin and wiped the apple in his hand. He opened his mouth wide and took a big bite. He said with great enjoyment, "Not bad, it's very sweet. Young Master Xu is good at picking apples. It seems like it's not bad to change jobs and become a fruit farmer someday."
Xu Zhihong almost fainted from anger. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen someone so shameless! With just a few words from this scoundrel, he became a miser, a miser, a snob, and … a fruit farmer! He was here to visit a patient! Not to be scolded!
Also, to hell with the sweet apple! How could I have picked it?!
Of course, Xu Zhihong wasn't stupid enough to say, "The apple was bought for me by someone else." Wouldn't that show that he wasn't sincere enough?
Realizing that he would go crazy if he stayed, Xu Zhihong put on a fake smile and said, "I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I won't disturb Ruoxi's rest. I'll come see you again when I'm free." With that said, he immediately walked out of the ward.
Mother Wang, who had been holding it in, finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Son-in-law, you really know how to talk. That Young Master Xu will probably be angry for a few days."
Yang Cheng took a big bite of the apple and said, "He won't. If he really would be angry for a long time over this kind of thing, he would have given up on Ruoxi long ago."
"Sigh …" Mother Wang glanced at Lin Ruoxi, who was silent, as if she wasn't in the room. "I'll go out for a while. Son-in-law, talk to Miss."
After the well-intentioned Mother Wang left, Yang Cheng also finished the apple in his hand. He sat at the head of Lin Ruoxi's bed and said with a smile, "My dear Ruoxi, this apple is not bad. Do you want me to peel one for you?"
Lin Ruoxi was still looking out of the window expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Yang Cheng nodded with satisfaction. "You didn't stop me from calling you that this time. You've improved. You even tacitly agreed to eat the apple. You know how to act coquettishly. You've improved even more. I'll reward you right now. I'll personally peel the apple for you."
Although she had seen this contract husband's thick skin many times these days, Lin Ruoxi still felt that she had underestimated this guy. She hadn't even said half a word, and she was acting coquettishly?!
"Can you be more serious?" Lin Ruoxi sighed. She turned her head and wanted to have a good talk with Yang Cheng.
"I'm serious. I've always been serious. What's wrong with a husband peeling an apple for his wife?" Yang Cheng smiled as he took a fruit knife. The shiny fruit knife spun 360 degrees in his palm, as if it was glued to his palm.
Lin Ruoxi was about to say something, but when she saw Yang Cheng's skill, she couldn't help but watch carefully.
Yang Cheng took a good-looking apple and held the fruit knife with his other hand. After a slight pause, the fruit knife quickly moved around the apple's skin.
Yang Cheng's hand speed was so fast that Lin Ruoxi couldn't clearly see what kind of trajectory he was moving at such a close distance. She could only see the small fruit knife turn into countless bright lights, continuously peeling around the apple for a while.
Peeling the apple seemed to have become a work of art. Just like pottery or wood carving, it was impossible to know what the final result would be until the last moment.
In less than half a minute, Yang Cheng stopped what he was doing and handed the peeled apple to Lin Ruoxi. "Here, a prize for a husband to give to his wife."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the peeled apple in front of her and was stunned for a moment. Then, an inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart, and she unconsciously fell into a daze …
The originally rosy apple had most of its skin peeled off, but there were still a few slender pieces of skin left on the peeled apple, forming beautiful red cursive characters — "I wish my wife good health."
Lin Ruoxi realized that her eyes were a little wet, so she immediately controlled her emotions and said, "You only know these unorthodox and boring things. Peeling an apple is so mushy."
"Hehe." Yang Cheng blushed. "Actually, I also think it's a bit mushy, so my good wife, you should eat it quickly, or I'll feed you?" As he said that, he sent the apple to Lin Ruoxi's porcelain-like lips.
"I'll do it myself." Lin Ruoxi quickly snatched the apple from Yang Cheng's hand, but when she put it in front of her eyes, she looked at the bright red characters on the peel and paused, somewhat reluctant to open her mouth.
Yang Cheng pretended to say, "Are you reluctant to bite off such a beautiful apple? It's okay, at worst, I'll peel another one for our Ruoxi, but what else should I say … "
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Lin Ruoxi immediately took a bite, "I just want to know if you've washed your hands."
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi began to eat the apple he peeled, Yang Cheng no longer teased her. He only felt that the iceberg girl holding the apple with both hands and silently chewing it was a bit cute.
"Thank you." Lin Ruoxi suddenly said softly.
Yang Cheng suspected that he heard wrong, "What?"
"I said, thank you, thank you for everything you've done for me." Lin Ruoxi raised her head, her eyes like autumn water, "I found that I don't hate you as much as before."
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "There's no need to thank me. When the day comes that you fall in love with me and become my husband, I'll be thankful."
Lin Ruoxi was not angry at such words, but after thinking for a while, she very seriously replied, "That's very difficult."
"…"
