Chapter 884

Same Goes To You

Yang Chen spread his t-shirt on the floor and told her, “Sit on my clothes. The floor’s dirty.”

Lin Ruoxi was caught speechless for a while but she recovered quickly and sat down with a faint smile on her face.

Yang Chen joined her on the floor and watched her eat.

“You haven’t told me what happened at home earlier on,” Lin Ruoxi asked while chewing a steamed dumpling.

Yang Chen passed a napkin to her before saying, “It’s nothing much, just that Yang Lie was pretending to be nice and Mom bought it. If I kill him, Mom would never forgive me. But his existence will only cause us more trouble. I bet he was also behind the vampire incident.”

Lin Ruoxi nodded. “Are you feeling upset because Mom defended Yang Lie?”

“I don’t know, I was just thinking if I didn’t forgive her, I wouldn’t be so troubled since we wouldn’t have lived together.”

“No,” Lin Ruoxi said sternly. “She’s your mom and she loves you, no matter what has happened in the past.”

Yang Chen was stunned for a while before he asked her with a gentle voice, “Ruoxi, can I ask you something?”

Lin Ruoxi nodded. “Just ask, we're husband and wife. You can ask me anything.”

“But you might get upset.” Yang Chen pressed on.

Lin Ruoxi hesitated at first but nodded. “It’s fine, just let me hit you if I get upset.”

Yang Chen opened his mouth as though he wanted to rebut her but his lips curled into a bitter smile instead. “I was thinking what if your father won’t ever admit that you’re his daughter, would you cut off all ties with him?”

Lin Ruoxi froze before Yang Chen finished speaking.

Yang Chen hurriedly added, “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer. I’m just curious as to why you place such high importance on family life when it has given you nothing but pain in the past?”

Lin Ruoxi shook her head to let him know that she was fine with it. “I don’t know why you’d think that way, but I can’t do it. You might think I’m useless but I just can’t do it… I can’t erase my feelings, nor can I control and replace it with something else in a short period. No matter how much I try to deny and despise it, it’s an irreplaceable kind of feeling. I might not ever be able to forgive him, and I may even hate him for years, but he’ll always be the one whom I miss and hope to meet occasionally.

“That’s what family means to me. I’m jealous of you because of that. At least your mom really loves you, unlike mine. I don’t even know if he really sees me as his daughter.”

Yang Chen could feel the cold wind breezing past. It was as though his heart was torn apart when he heard her words.

“How could you be so silly? I would kill him without hesitation if it were your wish.” Yang Chen placed his arms around her and pulled her closer.

Lin Ruoxi giggled. “I know I’m silly but I’m trying to be optimistic. I don't know how I can live on without thinking like that.”

“Of course you can live on.” Yang Chen tightened his grip. “No matter what other people say, you are my wife and nothing can change that.”

“Same goes to you…”

Lin Ruoxi muttered, “I want to sleep, I’m so tired…”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile. “Who asked you to force yourself to keep working? You’ve been at it for more than a day straight.”

“I’m sleepy because I just ate… Just let me lie down like this and don’t move,” Lin Ruoxi muttered and snuggled into Yang Chen’s chest, her voice getting softer and softer.

Yang Chen gladly obliged, allowing her to lie on his lap. He even hoped that she could lean on him for the rest of the day.

Minutes later, Lin Ruoxi dozed off in his arms.

Yang Chen wanted to nap too. But less than 30 minutes later, a man and a woman dressed in black suits showed up mysteriously.

“Well, well. What a lovely scene we have here. We might have dropped in on the wrong time,” one of them spoke while grinning.

She was a blond, gorgeous woman. She looked flawless under the sunlight. One would’ve never thought that she was a two-hundred-year-old pureblood vampire.
