In the living room of the Lin Family's mansion in Zhonghai, the lights were still on even though it was already midnight and the sun would rise in a few hours.
On the soft sofa, Lin Ruoxi had just taken a shower and put on a light pink silk nightgown. She hugged her knees and stared blankly at the clock on the wall. She seemed to be lost in thought.
A pair of delicate arms were exposed to the air. Her snow-white skin was like flawless white jade. On the side of the woman's face, her delicate facial features were set off by her black hair. Her lips were like pink pearls, bright and beautiful.
Looking down, she could see a pair of jade feet that were curled up on the sofa outside her skirt. There was a trace of light blue blood vessels in the white skin. Her cardamom-like toes were round and plump. Not a single nail polish had been applied, and the pure pinkish-white nails made every knuckle look especially delicate.
With her natural beauty, Lin Ruoxi didn't have to be too deliberate to make her look as beautiful as a painting.
"Still not sleeping?"
Suddenly, a familiar and gentle voice came from behind.
Lin Ruoxi was startled at first. Then, she turned around and said, "Mom … why are you here?"
Guo Xuehua was still in her cotton pajamas. She had removed her makeup and looked especially friendly. There were traces of aging on her face and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were slightly visible.
Pursing her lips into a smile, Guo Xuehua came to Lin Ruoxi's side and sat on the sofa. "How can I sleep with you like this? I think your Mother Wang can't sleep at night too. She just doesn't want to disturb you and doesn't know how to tell you. "
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Mom. I made you worry."
"As long as you're a parent, no matter what happens to your child, there will always be times when you're worried." Guo Xuehua reached out and gently hugged Lin Ruoxi's fragrant shoulder. "You cried when you entered the room just now, but Yang Cheng didn't come back with you. Something must have happened. Are you waiting for Yang Cheng to come home now? "
Lin Ruoxi bit his lips. "Mm …"
"Sigh … This Yang Cheng is really insensible. No matter what happens, he has to go home. Don't tell me that husband and wife always hide from each other and don't talk?" Guo Xuehua frowned.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "It's my fault this time. It's not his fault."
"Did something happen to the two of you again? Weren't you fine just now? Why did this happen all of a sudden?" Guo Xuehua asked with concern. "What exactly happened? Can you let me know?"
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a while. She didn't want to tell the other family members at first, but the accumulated sadness and grievances in her heart made her feel very uncomfortable. So, she roughly told them what had happened in the past few days.
Although she hid some parts that would make Guo Xuehua too worried, just the general outline of what had happened was enough to make Guo Xuehua's expression change several times.
When she found out that the Xue Family had been expelled from the country by the elders of the Ning family and the Luo family, and that Luo Cuishan had even used the Xue Family to threaten Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng, Guo Xuehua's face was filled with hatred.
"I didn't expect that the Premier's wife, a ministerial official, would do such despicable things. I met her a few times in Beijing back then. Because she was Premier Ning's wife, we had a friendly conversation. I really couldn't tell that she was a snake and a scorpion." Guo Xuehua sighed. "But the Ning family is powerful. It's not something we women can get involved in. Don't be so stubborn and let Yang Cheng handle it."
Lin Ruoxi nodded obediently. She seemed a little sad. "I know that I can't win against them. No matter how much money I have, I can't win against power. "
Guo Xuehua lovingly stroked her daughter-in-law's hair and touched Lin Ruoxi's delicate and smooth face. "After hearing what you said, I have to say that you did wrong. Even if you hid it from others, you shouldn't have hidden it from Yang Cheng. It's not easy for him to worry about you, be afraid that you'll get hurt, and keep trying to make you happy. Moreover, he fought with Luo Cuishan for you. It could be said that he was leading the way for you. Even if he's capable, it's not just a simple fight. There are many things that happen one after another. He did so much for you, but you only cared about the Xue Family in the United States. How could he not be upset? "
A trace of tears welled up in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. Her voice was a little choked. "I know I went too far. I don't know why I did this. When I realized what I said was wrong, the words had already left my mouth. I also hate myself. Why can't I learn how to talk to him? I also want to treat him better and make him like me more … but … but I just don't know what to do. "
Guo Xuehua felt sad. She hugged Lin Ruoxi's trembling body and said, "Child, what's so difficult about it? What do you not know? In the end, you're too stubborn. You're always waiting for Yang Cheng to take the initiative to communicate with you. How can there be such a good thing? You've been married for more than a year. Do you still want Yang Cheng to go all out to pursue you? Think more about what Yang Cheng needs and what you can give him instead of thinking about what you have that Yang Cheng wants. In this way, the two of you will naturally get along. "
Lin Ruoxi raised her head. Her watery eyes seemed to be pondering and at a loss.
Guo Xuehua smiled gently and said, "Child, you're even more beautiful than your mother when she was young. To be honest, as a mother, I'm very happy that Yang Cheng married you. Who doesn't want their grandchildren to be extraordinarily beautiful in the future? "
Lin Ruoxi's pretty face blushed. "Mother … why are you suddenly saying this …"
"Of course I have to say it." Guo Xuehua sighed. "Ruoxi, as someone who has been through it, I have to say this to you very seriously. No matter how beautiful you are now, you'll grow old in a decade or so … No matter how you take care of yourself, you're old. You can't be compared to those young girls. Maybe now, you can tie Yang Cheng's heart to your side because you're more beautiful than anyone else. But what about in the future?
Men are different. When men get older, they'll accumulate more things. On the contrary, they'll be especially attractive to many women. Besides, you also know that Yang Cheng doesn't have much immunity to women. What if you're no longer young, and your relationship with Yang Cheng is always distant and close? What do you think will happen? "
Lin Ruoxi's face turned pale, and a trace of panic flashed through her eyes. She had never thought about what would happen after a decade, but when Guo Xuehua mentioned it, her heart suddenly became heavy.
No matter how her relationship with Yang Cheng was, in terms of marriage, they wouldn't make any more fuss about it. This marriage was no longer a contract marriage.
Divorce, for the traditional Lin Ruoxi, was very difficult to accept, not to mention that there were feelings.
The conversation at the coffee shop that day, and then in the square outside the building, Yang Cheng's singing, had already made her no longer doubt where she belonged in this life.
"Think about it. Even now, there are many young and beautiful girls around Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng can't bear to part with them. Fortunately, you don't have to be afraid of them now. After all, you're the one who's married, and you're not inferior to those girls. But in the blink of an eye, you have the confidence to let Yang Cheng live with you patiently in the future, even when you're no longer youthful? "Guo Xuehua said.
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head sadly. She suddenly felt that her brain wasn't as useful as she thought. Even if she had never been afraid of anyone in the business world, she didn't know how to face such a situation.
Yes, women will grow old. When I'm old, will I still work all day and spend my life in the business world?
Guo Xuehua stroked Lin Ruoxi's hair and advised, "Ruoxi, listen to mom's advice. While you're still young, don't spend all your energy on your career. Learn more about how to communicate with Yang Cheng. It's not enough to buy clothes for him and cook for him. You're his wife, not a maid. Only when you build a strong foundation for your relationship when you're young can you continue to love each other when you're old. "
Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly, looked up at Guo Xuehua seriously, and said with some grievance, "But … mom, since you want to help me so much, why did you help Yang Cheng meet Auntie Ma in the first place?"
Guo Xuehua looked a little embarrassed. She smiled at Shanshan and said, "Really … Why did you suddenly mention that? Sigh … What can I do? You're both husband and wife. I want you and your wife to be in harmony, but I also want Yang Cheng to be comfortable. In short, mom will support you spiritually. You should take advantage of it … "
Guo Xuehua couldn't sit still anymore. She hurriedly stood up and turned to go upstairs to her room.
Only Lin Ruoxi was left sitting on the sofa alone. She looked at the clock that was still passing minute by minute, as if she was thinking about what to do …
At the same time, at the southernmost tip of the Hua Xia Sea, above an island adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness and looked down at the island.
On the island, there was a huge military base with lights on. Dozens of advanced fighter jets, some transport planes, and armed helicopters were parked neatly.
Near the edge of the sea, there were warships with cannons pointed at the sky. Even in the distant sea, there was a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier watching from afar, as if the behemoth would put out everything with all its firepower if there was any abnormal movement.
Due to the confrontation between the two countries at sea, the third party, the US Army, had already sent a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to suppress the situation. Although it had not officially opened fire, such a super long-distance weapon was enough to deter the navy of any country.
Yang Cheng didn't pay much attention to these weapons. After looking at the architectural layout of the military base, he found a tall reinforced concrete building with the most concentrated lights. His figure flashed and he landed.
After breaking through the Innate Full Cycle, instant teleportation was not worth mentioning even if he didn't use the space power of the Lord.
A group of soldiers from the US armed with M4 rifles were patrolling the periphery of the headquarters of the base. Although it was almost impossible for someone to come to such a core place without being discovered, none of the soldiers relaxed.
At this moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared outside the main entrance of the headquarters. A black-haired young man was leisurely walking toward the entrance.
The dozen or so soldiers present almost thought they had seen a ghost. They were shocked. When they came to their senses, the first thing they did was to raise the rifles in their hands and madly spit fire!
If they didn't open fire at this time, then they would have been soldiers for nothing!
