The morning light shone into the pink-toned bedroom and the air was filled with the faint scent of jasmine.
On the large soft bed, the woman hiding under the blankets stretched out a white and flawless arm. She searched around in a daze for a while, as if she was scratching something randomly. Finally, her hand landed on the exquisite mahogany bedside cabinet.
After grabbing a phone, the woman slowly removed the thin silk blanket covering her head and revealed a beautiful face with sleepy eyes.
In the faint morning light, it was like a snow lotus blooming gracefully.
After seeing the date on the phone and confirming that it was the day she had to go to work, Lin Ruoxi scratched her slightly messy hair and lazily propped herself up to sit up.
Her bed was the largest size that could be bought on the market. This made her look especially small when she was sleeping alone in the morning.
Looking at the slightly empty room, Lin Ruoxi sat for a while to let her brain gradually wake up before she pulled off the blankets.
She wore the white cotton pajamas that she had used for many years. She used all four limbs to support herself on the blankets and crawled step by step to the end of the bed.
If anyone else saw this scene, their eyes would have popped out of their sockets!
The woman who crawled on the bed like a slow-moving panda turned out to be the cold and ruthless female CEO of the company. The contrast was really outrageous.
Lin Ruoxi didn't realize that her actions in the room were the same as when she was eating glutinous rice balls. It was a bit weird, a bit clumsy, but to her, it was as natural as eating and sleeping.
At the end of the bed, there was a white and round dumpling doll lying quietly on the bed.
This was a gift from Yang Cheng when he ate 88 dumplings on New Year's Eve. When Lin Ruoxi brought it back, she initially placed it with the other plush toys. But in the past month or two, with Yang Cheng repeatedly making women unhappy, the dumpling doll was specially placed at the end of the bed.
Lin Ruoxi's idea was very simple. Every night when she slept, she would use her feet to stink. Unfortunately, she neglected one thing. Her feet weren't smelly, so naturally, it wouldn't work as a punishment.
But even so, this somewhat childish method allowed Lin Ruoxi to adjust her emotions relatively quickly. It was as if as long as she saw this doll's unchanging simple and honest smile, her hatred for the bad man would lessen a lot.
Life went on like this. There was pain and sadness, but at least … he had a cute side to him. Occasionally, he was quite likable, wasn't he?
Lin Ruoxi pouted as she looked at the silly doll up close. She reached out and patted the doll's head a few times.
"What are you looking at? Bad guy, who asked you to give others a diamond ring? Who asked you to lose your temper at me? Who asked you to give me … give me … "
Lin Ruoxi was halfway through her sentence. Her brain seemed to have short-circuited in the morning. After thinking for a while, she remembered that the bad guy had given her a pocket watch last night. Where was it?
Looking around, Lin Ruoxi realized that she had placed the pocket watch next to her pillow. She didn't even notice it!
Last night, she seemed to have fallen asleep looking at the pocket watch …
Lin Ruoxi crawled back to the head of the bed. She picked up the old-fashioned pocket watch and stared blankly at it for a while.
The pocket watch looked very old. There were many hands on it. It was a multi-function watch. There were some densely packed small words in the middle.
But Lin Ruoxi didn't study it too much. Because when she saw this watch, she thought of the pink diamond ring. The two were too different. She didn't have the mood to compare the two.
For a woman, shiny things were indeed too tempting … It wasn't a matter of money.
Lin Ruoxi stared blankly at the pocket watch for a while before sighing faintly. She hesitated for a moment before turning around and crawling to the bedside table. She stuffed the pocket watch into the Hermes Platinum bag that she usually carried with her.
Although this watch didn't look good, at least this antique mechanical watch matched well with the retro Hermes bag. It had the feel of an old European aristocrat. She would occasionally take it out as a pendant for a bag …
Lin Ruoxi thought so. She used this to convince herself that she didn't carry it because it was a gift from that person. She was just "making use of waste"!
After doing all this, Lin Ruoxi got out of bed and went to wash up.
Yesterday, she sent Zhenxiu for her exam and didn't go to work. Today, she couldn't not go. As for Zhenxiu's exam … Let that bad guy send it. Why should she be busy at home? Lin Ruoxi thought hatefully.
On the other hand, while Lin Ruoxi was cursing in her heart, Yang Cheng had just returned home after a night of messing around with Choi Yeon.
The car was driven back by Choi Yeon. As for Wei Tinghao, he must have been released from the mental hospital. Yang Cheng couldn't be bothered to care about him.
After listening to Choi Yeon's words last night, Yang Cheng felt much better.
He couldn't give Lin Ruoxi a perfect love, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't work hard to love her.
It was precisely because he cared for her more than any other woman that he would occasionally be so timid. He didn't dare to touch a woman's soft and prideful heart, fearing that he would hurt her too deeply.
Instead of looking for trouble and not knowing what to do, he would rather treat her as he did in the past. He believed that as time went by, his wife would understand why she was his only wife.
When Yang Cheng walked into the house, he was carrying a few bags of fresh fish and vegetables. He had bought them from the market early in the morning.
Mother Wang and Guo Xuehua, who were busy in the kitchen, weren't too surprised to see them. They didn't know that Yang Cheng didn't come home last night.
"Oh, why did you go to the market so early in the morning? That's good, I didn't have to go to the market. "Guo Xuehua thought that Yang Cheng had left home early in the morning, so she happily took the ingredients from Yang Cheng's hands.
Yang Cheng didn't explain further and asked, "Ruoxi and Zhenxiu aren't down yet?"
"Isn't it early?" Guo Xuehua smiled and looked upstairs. Seeing that there was no one around, she asked softly, "Son, how's Qianni? Is she alright? "
Yang Cheng smiled faintly and said, "Mom, you really don't leave anyone behind."
Guo Xuehua smiled bitterly. "I'm conflicted too, but I couldn't bear to see that girl. How deep must her love be for her to say such hysterical words? I can't control you guys, I just hope that you can treat them better. As for Ruoxi … she's very strong-willed. If she doesn't take the initiative to mention it, don't say anything. Actually, she knows that as a wife, she can't really accept this kind of thing. "
Yang Cheng nodded. "Oh right, Mom, I'll pick Zhenxiu up for her exams today and tomorrow. I'll go home for lunch and dinner. Ruoxi's sudden interruption of work will have a big impact. Let her go to work as usual. "
"Sigh, at least you know how to dote on your wife." Guo Xuehua was obviously happy.
Not long after, Lin Ruoxi, who was dressed in a more formal work attire, and Zhenxiu, who was full of energy, came downstairs.
Yang Cheng was carrying a bowl of porridge out of the kitchen. When he saw Lin Ruoxi, he smiled naturally. "There aren't any dark circles under your eyes. I'm relieved. Looks like you slept well."
Lin Ruoxi pretended not to see him and sat at the dining table with Zhenxiu. She stroked Zhenxiu's hair and said, "Zhenxiu, I'm going to work today. I won't be sending you off. Let that person send you for the exams today and tomorrow."
That person?
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. Even his title had been erased.
Although Zhenxiu had long felt that there was something wrong with Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi, she just thought that they were quarreling again. She smiled and nodded. She didn't think too much about it. After all, the couple had quarreled too many times in the family.
Guo Xuehua shook her head and smiled. "Yang Cheng already said that he'll pick Zhenxiu up. Ruoxi, don't worry."
Lin Ruoxi looked up at Yang Cheng in surprise. She didn't expect Yang Cheng to have already thought of it for her. In fact, if Yang Cheng wasn't in the United States, Lin Ruoxi wouldn't want to take a day off. After all, as the CEO of such a big international company, a sudden disruption of her schedule would delay many things.
Yang Cheng winked at her and said playfully, "'That person' is actually not bad."
Lin Ruoxi didn't show any expression and ignored him. She only turned back to say some words of encouragement to Zhenxiu, but she felt a little better in her heart.
In fact, this was how couples got along. Occasionally, a hint of unexpected consideration and concern could reduce a lot of unhappiness.
What a woman wanted was to find her place in the man's heart. Knowing that the man placed her at the top of his heart would naturally make her feel more at ease.
Moreover, the two of them had experienced a lot of ups and downs. It would be a lie to say that they didn't understand each other's feelings. It was just that there were often irreconcilable contradictions that made them not know how to get along.
The family ate breakfast and watched the morning news. It wasn't much different from the past. It was as if the storm that had just passed yesterday afternoon had already passed without a trace.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi's phone vibrated. The woman put down her bowl and chopsticks leisurely, picked up her phone, looked at it, and picked it up without hesitation. "Chris, what's up?"
Chris seemed to have said something that made Lin Ruoxi struggle, but in the end, Lin Ruoxi still replied, "I got it. I'll be on time."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her head to look at Yang Chen who was taking big bites out of a corn steamed bun. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she whispered, "Are you … free tonight?"
