Unknowingly, it was night time. After the servants served the dishes, everyone had dinner together in the parlor in the backyard.
Yang Gongming seemed to be very satisfied with Cai Ning. He even made an exception and drank a small glass of wine, clinking glasses with Cai Ning lightly.
Cai Ning was flattered, but she had grown up in the Tang Sect and was strict with herself. She could only accept it with tea instead of wine.
"Ning Er, I know that you went to the military court for that little brat from our Yang Family. However, this is a matter between you youngsters and your parents are here. As an outsider, it's not appropriate for me to ask too much.
But now, since you're sitting at the Yang Family's dinner, this old man has to give you a toast. Thank you for your hard work, "Yang Gongming said sincerely.
Lin Ruoxi had already heard from Yang Cheng that Cai Ning was imprisoned and even went to the military court because of Yang Cheng, so she wasn't too surprised. She just couldn't help but feel upset.
But it was Guo Xuehua's first time hearing about it. She immediately asked with concern, "When did this happen? Why didn't I hear about it from you, Yang Cheng?"
Jiang Shan finally found an entry point. She immediately wiped her reddened eyes and squeezed some tears out.
"Xuehua, you don't know, but when Yang Cheng's son-in-law fought with the Zeng Family, my Ning Er killed Zeng Mao on behalf of Yang Cheng. When I heard the news, I almost fainted!"
Guo Xuehua was instantly touched. She smiled at Cai Ning and said, "I didn't expect this to happen. As your mother, I have to respect you too."
Cai Ning was rather embarrassed, but she still had to politely clink glasses with Guo Xuehua.
"Ning Er, don't do such silly things in the future. Although my son isn't much, it's impossible for others to hurt him," Guo Xuehua consoled.
Yang Cheng and Cai Ning looked at each other. They recalled the time they met and felt like it was yesterday.
Lin Ruoxi listened quietly. A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes, but there was nothing to be jealous of, because it was the truth.
Yang Gongming chuckled and asked, "Ning 'er, I heard that you have a younger sister?"
"Yeah, her name is Choi Yeon, but she's still in Zhonghai. She's the chief of the police station, and she's been quite active since young," Cai Ning pursed her lips and smiled. It was easier to talk about her only biological sister.
Yang Gongming nodded in understanding, "You and Yeonyeon are welcome to come to my house next time. This old man is usually very lonely, and you and Yang Cheng... are very familiar with each other, so I would be very happy to see you."
The meaning of the old woman's words was clear. She had acknowledged the two sisters. This made Jiang Shan's body stiffen with excitement.
Guo Xuehua was a little helpless. She looked at her daughter-in-law, Lin Ruoxi, who was biting her lower lip, and reached out to touch her hand with pity.
Lin Ruoxi looked at her mother-in-law and saw a hint of comfort in Guo Xuehua's eyes.
In an instant, Lin Ruoxi understood a lot. Being born in a family like this, there was no doubt about the outcome.
To Yang Gongming, although he liked Lin Ruoxi as his granddaughter-in-law, it didn't mean that she was the only one.
The Yang Family was small, so the old woman was naturally happy for her grandson to have more female confidantes. After all, Yang Cheng didn't even have half a child, but he had been married to Lin Ruoxi for almost two years.
Until the end of the dinner, Yang Gongming asked Cai Ning many questions about her experiences in martial arts, as well as her diplomatic mission. He seemed to be very interested in Cai Ning's life experience. Cai Ning answered him sincerely and respectfully.
Cai Ning replied respectfully and sincerely. She wasn't anxious or impatient. After realizing that Yang Gongming liked her a lot, she didn't feel nervous just because the old man in front of her was one of the most powerful people in China.
This kind of situation made Lin Ruoxi sit at the side, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.
When the dinner was over, Yang Gongming even asked Yan Sanniang to pack some vegetables that he had personally grown for her. Although the gifts were cheap, the meaning behind them was much more precious than gold and silver. It showed that the old woman had truly accepted the Cai Family's daughter.
In order to take care of Lin Ruoxi's feelings, Yang Cheng didn't say much during the dinner. When they parted, he only asked Cai Ning to see him in a few days.
Cai Ning knew that the two of them were going to have a wedding, but she didn't feel too sour about it. Instead, she wished them well and generously congratulated Lin Ruoxi.
As the person in charge of monitoring Yang Cheng, she knew that it wasn't easy for the two of them to get to where they were today.
After they left, the entire Yang Family Mansion quietened down.
Under the moonlight, the stars were sparse, and the lights in the mansion were lit up.
The night breeze was chilly, and the servants took turns to go on duty in an orderly manner.
Under Yan Sanniang's care, Yang Gongming returned to his room to rest. He was old, and after a busy day, he naturally wasn't as energetic as before.
On the other hand, Guo Xuehua brought Yang Cheng and Lin Ruoxi to a relatively new house in the mansion.
"This house is yours. Although you can sleep in separate rooms in Zhonghai, you can't sleep in the Yang Family in Beijing. I don't care what you two are thinking, but if you sleep in separate rooms, Grandpa won't be able to explain it to him," Guo Xuehua tugged Lin Ruoxi's hand and said, "If you need anything, just tell the servants. You're the mistress of the Yang Family from now on, so don't worry too much. Many of the servants here are the trusted followers of the Yang Family for generations. They're all experienced people, so they'll more or less feel like they're half a master. You've just married into the family, so if you're too polite, they'll look down on you. "
These were naturally Guo Xuehua's experiences in the past, and she imparted them to her daughter-in-law at the last minute.
Lin Ruoxi listened obediently and noted them down.
After Guo Xuehua left, only the young couple were left in the hallway.
Yang Cheng noticed that Lin Ruoxi's face was covered with a layer of rouge, which was very attractive.
"Honey, let's go in!" Yang Cheng opened the wooden door and gestured for her to go in.
Lin Ruoxi raised her head, and her eyes were a little uneasy, but she still nodded.
When they entered the house, they realized that although the exterior was antique, the facilities inside were equivalent to a modern luxurious presidential suite.
Apart from the bedroom, there was a separate bathroom, a dressing room, and a small bar counter filled with all kinds of domestic and foreign wines. It seemed that Guo Xuehua had put in a lot of effort to decorate this place.
But what Lin Ruoxi cared about the most was the only king-sized bed. Although it was a custom-made super size of three meters wide, it still meant that the two of them would have to sleep together.
"If you still think it's weird, I'll sleep on the floor tonight!" Yang Cheng said with a smile from behind.
Lin Ruoxi turned around and looked at Yang Cheng's indifferent and understanding expression. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"You have to get used to it eventually. Thinking about it carefully, it's actually nothing much. Why don't you go take a bath first? You're busy enough today." Lin Ruoxi said gently.
Yang Cheng nodded. He wasn't surprised by this answer. After all, the woman had taken the initiative to say that they wanted to consummate their marriage, so what if they slept together?
"My body can control itself from sweating, so it's actually not that dirty. Why don't you wash first?" Yang Cheng said.
"I need to call Qianni and Ming Yu, and I need to ask Hong Yan. Although I don't care about the company's situation, I still need to understand it." Lin Ruoxi said embarrassedly.
Yang Cheng smiled. It seemed that it was impossible for a workaholic like Lin Ruoxi to suddenly become a housewife. She was already preparing for the wedding, yet she was still thinking about the company.
Ten minutes later, Yang Cheng quickly took a shower and came out of the bathroom wearing a pair of loose boxers.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi had just hung up the phone, he pointed his thumb at the bathroom and said with a smile, "That bathtub is a big bathtub. It seems like mom is going to let us take a bath together. Darling Ruoxi, how about I take another bath with you?"
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng's firm and muscular body. Her cheeks flushed red and she tried her best not to dodge him as she rolled her eyes at him.
If you want to bathe, let Sister Cai Ning accompany you. She's so gentle, she'll definitely be willing. "
When he said this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He grinned and said, "You really are jealous."
"Who … Who's jealous!
"Lin Ruoxi also realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She gritted her teeth and quickly grabbed the clothes on the bed. She lowered her head and hurriedly ran into the bathroom.
Yang Cheng shouted towards the bathroom, "Remember to wash up fragrant. I don't want to smell sour and vinegar when I sleep!"
The bathroom door was slammed shut with a "bang", and the faint sound of a woman's complaints could be heard.
Not long after, the sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom.
