Yang Cheng immediately thought that if he pretended not to hear anything and pretended that he had just arrived at the door, he would probably be able to fool her. Thus, he said, "Hongyan, it's me. I came to your house to settle some matters. Your father asked me to stay for dinner and told me to call you."
There was obviously a series of messy noises inside and Zhao Hongyan's voice could be heard intermittently.
"Oh … you … wait a minute … I … I'm busy with something …"
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly after he spoke - he had made a huge mistake - he didn't call for help when he arrived at the door, nor did he knock on the door. Instead, he was discovered by Zhao Hongyan - wasn't it obvious that he was eavesdropping outside the door?!
"Then I'll go out first," Yang Cheng felt that it was inappropriate to stand there for even a second longer.
"En …" Zhao Hongyan responded weakly.
Yang Cheng quickly turned around and left. If Zhao Hongyan came out in a sorry state, it would be extremely awkward for both of them.
When it was time for dinner, Zhao Hongyan finally arrived. Shanshan was late.
She was wearing a white round neck pleated dress with a red ribbon tied around it. Her fair and slender legs looked much rounder than those young and inexperienced campus girls. A charming young married woman only needed a little bit of decoration to show off the charm of a woman at this stage.
"Hongyan, what's wrong with you? You even had to invite Yang Cheng as a guest. Don't be so unreliable next time," Old Man Zhao advised.
Zhao Hongyan responded softly but didn't dare to raise her head to look at Yang Cheng. She only lowered her head. From the side, one could see traces of intoxicating redness.
Yang Cheng took a glance and felt his heart heat up. This woman had clearly climbed to a peak and the lingering charm was still there.
During dinner, Yang Cheng wasn't in the same mood as before. He kept glancing at Zhao Hongyan from time to time. Although it was discreet, Zhao Hongyan, who was extremely sensitive at the moment, could faintly sense it.
When Yang Chen and Zhao Hongyan's eyes met once, both of them hurriedly turned their heads away.
Yang Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In front of Zhao Hongyan's parents and mother-in-law, he and Zhao Hongyan's secret eye contact made them look like a couple having an affair.
He could only blame the soft voice he heard outside the door for being too alluring. He kept imagining all kinds of erotic scenes and even his crotch was in a swollen state.
If he was still in the public relations department of Yu Lei and Lin Ruoxi, he might have other thoughts after discovering this side of a woman. But now, his family with Lin Ruoxi was much more stable and he was trying to improve the relationship between women. If he were to eat Zhao Hongyan as well … it would be the same as eating Ruoxi!
If Lin Ruoxi were to find out about this, Yang Chen himself would probably die.
Therefore, the meal ended unknowingly while the two were in all kinds of depression.
After dinner, Old Zhao asked his son to prepare a big bag of glutinous rice and ruo leaves for Yang Cheng. He also sent some shredded pumpkin, candied dates, and red beans for making rice dumplings. As for the different kinds of rice balls that Lin Ruoxi wanted, Yang Cheng personally chose them and packed them into beautiful boxes.
When sending Yang Cheng and Ma Guifang off, Zhao Hongyan forced a smile, but the complicated look in her eyes made Yang Cheng not dare to look at her.
On the way home with Ma Guifang, Yang Cheng couldn't help saying some nice words to amuse his mother-in-law. Yang Cheng naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to get closer to her.
When he got home, the women at home had just finished eating and were watching the latest Korean drama in the living room.
Now that Zhenxiu was on vacation, waiting for the admission notice, she joined this "watching while wiping tears" club, and the nature of a girl made her a loyal fan.
Yang Cheng was really puzzled. Why would the women watch this kind of drama that was obviously a tragedy when they knew it was going to be a mess of crying in the end, but why would they still enjoy watching it?
Seeing that Yang Cheng came back with fresh glutinous rice and ruo leaves, she shifted her attention away from the Korean drama.
"Come, young master, give me the glutinous rice, I'll soak it for two hours," Mother Wang took the big bag excitedly.
Yang Cheng was a little puzzled, "Now? Are we going to wrap it tonight? "
Guo Xuehua said, "Anyway, it's still early. You can eat it tomorrow morning after wrapping it up. There's no need to wait until tomorrow."
Yang Cheng didn't have any objection. He didn't know how to anyway. After giving the things to Mother Wang, he planned to go upstairs to take a bath.
"Wait," Lin Ruoxi wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue and walked over, "I want to tell you something. Tomorrow, I will bring people to attend the opening ceremony of Miss Jane's laboratory. The location is in Zhonghai University. You have to go then."
When Yang Cheng heard this, he smiled stiffly and said, "Why do I have to go? I'm in an entertainment company now. Why do I have to care about that? "
Yang Cheng complained in his heart. He was thinking of ways to avoid Zhao Hongyan and Jane in the near future, so as not to ignite any evil fire. Why did he have to send himself to the door?
Lin Ruoxi said discontentedly, "First of all, you are more familiar with Miss Jane than all of us. According to etiquette, you have to show up when she comes from afar. Secondly, if she finds out that you didn't go, she will mistakenly think that I am deliberately controlling you. What will she think of me then? "
Yang Cheng hesitated for a while and said with a smile, "Baby Ruoxi, why does your brain become smart and your EQ skyrocket when it comes to business?"
"Hmph, you have to go anyway! And you are only allowed to arrive early. You are not allowed to leave early! "Lin Ruoxi said decisively.
Yang Cheng sighed helplessly. He could only try his best to avoid the communication between the two women and nodded.
After talking about work, Lin Ruoxi suddenly pursed her lips and whispered, "Where are my meatballs?"
"Oh," Yang Cheng pointed to the kitchen, "In the big bag that Mother Wang brought."
Lin Ruoxi showed a satisfied smile and waved her hand, "It's okay. You can go upstairs."
Yang Cheng thought that there would be some "reward", but the result made him feel a little disappointed.
When he returned to the room, Yang Cheng was about to take off his clothes and take a shower when his phone vibrated.
Yang Cheng picked it up and saw that the number was from England, but he didn't recognize it. He was a little confused and picked it up.
"Who is it?" Yang Cheng asked in English.
"Dear little Chenchen! It's me! "A woman's joyful cry came from the phone.
Yang Cheng had goosebumps all over his body, "Catherine!?"
Only Jane's mother, the child version of the coquettish queen in Wales, would use such a strange title.
Catherine giggled and said, "I miss you so much. You didn't call me when you went back to Hua Xia. You always ignore me after you're done playing. It's so sad."
Yang Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. The tingling tone and content made him feel both cold and hot at the same time. Smiling bitterly, he said, "You wouldn't call me if there was nothing important. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Catherine hesitated and said, "I didn't expect you to know me so well."
"As long as you're not crazy, I can understand," Yang Cheng said.
Catherine suddenly changed the topic and became a little serious. Her voice also seemed a little reserved and dignified. She said, "Yang Cheng, Jane went to Zhonghai. I want to bring her back to Wales. Do you mind?"
Yang Cheng was stunned for a while, "What do you mean? Did Jane escape to Zhonghai? What did she do? "
He had long noticed that it was unusual for Jane to suddenly come to Zhonghai. It was indeed not simple!
Catherine sighed faintly. Her heavy tone was like a different person from her previous playfulness.
"That child, in order to refuse the marriage arranged for her by the royal family and Rothschild, went to your place with the help of a research project of her students. Now I am in a dilemma. The Rothschild family is very angry, but because you are in Zhonghai, we have been discussing how to deal with it for the past two days. I want to ask you, if you send someone to bring Jane back to Wales, will you be dissatisfied with our approach … "
Yang Cheng was stunned for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "She saved my life and saved my life. If she is not willing, no one can force her to do something she doesn't like."
Catherine on the other end of the phone was silent, and finally sighed softly, "Edward and I had expected that you would not sit back and do nothing, so we did not dare to make a move. That child is smarter than me as a mother. She knows that as long as she catches you, we can't do anything … "
"I'm just stating the facts. Although I don't know who you are looking for her to marry, this should respect her own wishes." Yang Cheng felt a little upset …
