Chapter 107: Praising My Wife

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Praising My Wife

The temperature in Zhonghai had gradually cooled down after entering autumn. The autumn wind swept away the heat like fallen leaves, making Yang Chen, who got up early in the morning, even want to snuggle under the blanket.

It's regressing, it's decaying. After returning to the country for half a year, Yang Chen unexpectedly found the word "snuggle under the blanket" appearing in his mind. In the past twenty years or so, he had never thought that he would have such a day.

He could breathe in the morning air with dew while the faint sunlight shone through the window. He could toss and turn in the blanket, smelling the sweet scent of breakfast prepared downstairs. Ah... what a simple atmosphere...

"Bang bang bang," the door was knocked, and Wang Mama's familiar and kind voice came from outside, "Young Master, come down for breakfast. It wouldn't be good if Miss gets anxious waiting at the hospital."

It was only today that they were going to pick up Lin Ruoxi, so Wang Mama hurriedly came to wake Yang Chen up.

Yang Chen quickly put on a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of Adidas sports shorts. He never worried about catching a cold because of sickness, so he dressed as comfortably as he pleased.

After a quick wash, he rushed downstairs to enjoy a hearty breakfast. Prompted by Wang Mama, he hurried out and drove to the hospital.

Passing by the flower shop on the way, Yang Chen hesitated. He thought, "Listening to the advice of the elders ensures one doesn't suffer losses." So, he got out of the car and ran into the flower shop, looking around.

The shopkeeper was a mature and beautiful woman. Seeing Yang Chen enter, she smiled and asked what he needed.

Yang Chen remembered Wang Mama mentioning something about carnations, but he didn't know that carnations also came in different colors! White, red, yellow, purple, and even green!

"Why would a flower have so many strange colors?" Yang Chen thought to himself.

"Young man, each color of carnation has a different meaning. Let me explain them to you before you buy," the shopkeeper said enthusiastically. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

But Yang Chen didn't have time to wait for that. He waved his hand domineeringly and said, "No need, just give me one of each color. Saves the trouble!"

The shopkeeper was speechless. It was the first time she had seen someone buy flowers like this. Getting one of each color, was he treating it like coloring with crayons? Scribbling with colorful pens without knowing what's what?

But the customer's request was an order. With a smile, the shopkeeper carefully wrapped a bunch of peculiar multicolored carnations and handed them to Yang Chen.

With so many different carnations bundled together, it was especially hard to calculate the price. Yang Chen threw down a few red bills, not bothering to let the shopkeeper count the money, and hurriedly left the flower shop.

The moment the shopkeeper finished counting, she realized that there was still over a hundred yuan missing. But when she looked up, she saw that Yang Chen's car had already left without a trace, which nearly made her faint with anger.

When they arrived at the hospital, it was precisely the agreed time for Lin Ruoxi to be discharged. The moment Yang Chen stepped into Lin Ruoxi's ward, he saw two long-unseen figures.

"Mr. Yang, nice to see you well." Xu Zhihong still smiled politely, holding a large bunch of pure white orchids in his hands, delicate and dewy.

After completing the formalities and leaving the hospital, Yang Chen drove Lin Ruoxi home for the first time. Although they had previously ridden in the same car, it was always Lin Ruoxi driving her expensive Bentley to pick up Yang Chen.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Ruoxi glanced at the brand-new interior of the BMW M3 and couldn't help but remind, "Yang Chen, the car you're driving now is mine. As a man, don't you feel a little ashamed?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "No shame at all. Since you have plenty of cars, Lin, it would be a waste to keep them all. I'm just helping you eliminate waste. It's an honor!"

"I'm serious," Lin Ruoxi frowned. "As a man, shouldn't you strive to get good cars and houses on your own? Driving a car belonging to a woman, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Lin Ruoxi earnestly advised, hoping that Yang Chen would feel some shame and strive to work harder.

After a moment of thought, Yang Chen nodded solemnly, "Ruoxi, you're right. I do feel a bit off about it now that you've said that. I'll take the BMW emblem off with a small knife another day, so it won't be considered a BMW anymore and won't be too flashy. What do you think?"

Lin Ruoxi really wanted to grab the steering wheel and force the car to crash into the highway guardrail, killing this scoundrel!

Seeing Yang Chen's playful demeanor, Lin Ruoxi felt her heart turn cold again with disappointment, her expression indifferent, unwilling to say more.

Yang Chen also understood that his wife was angry with him for not being ambitious. He focused on driving, pretending not to know anything.

They arrived home without speaking. Wang Mama was already waiting at the door. Seeing the couple get out of the car, she immediately came forward joyfully to help Lin Ruoxi with her luggage. After they entered, she went to prepare lunch.

Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Chen and went upstairs to handle business affairs with her secretary Wu Yue, only coming down for lunch at noon.

Wang Mama felt sorry for Lin Ruoxi, telling her not to overwork herself as soon as she got home. But Lin Ruoxi was obviously accustomed to such persuasion, listening but continuing to work.

Wang Mama's culinary skills were excellent. The table was filled with more dishes than usual to welcome Lin Ruoxi home, colorful and fragrant, making Yang Chen drool at the sight.

"Wang Mama, whenever you're free, teach me how to cook. I love your cooking," Yang Chen said eagerly.

Being praised always made people happy. Wang Mama smiled and said, "Young Master, I'm glad you like it. Whenever you have time, I'm always free to teach. An old lady like me is always available."

Seeing this scene and remembering the incident with the car, Lin Ruoxi, who had been persuading Yang Chen to work harder, didn't expect him to not want to work and instead want to learn how to cook like a woman. She couldn't help but feel even more displeased with Yang Chen, her disappointment growing colder in her heart.

Although Wang Mama had prepared a lot of delicious food, Lin Ruoxi felt stifled and only ate a little. Suddenly, she said she had to go out.

Wang Mama tapped Yang Chen under the table with her foot and gave him a meaningful look. Yang Chen understood and asked with a smile, "Where are you going? If it's to the company, do you want me to drive you? It's the weekend, and I have nothing else to do."

Lin Ruoxi gave Yang Chen a cold glance and said expressionlessly, "No need, I'm not going to the company. I can drive myself. You and Wang Mama continue eating."

After saying that, Lin Ruoxi picked up the car keys that had been placed on the table earlier and left without even looking back. "Not going to the company?" Yang Chen felt puzzled. The last time she suddenly went out at night without any reason, although he was curious, Yang Chen wasn't so bored as to follow her. After all, he believed in respecting each other's privacy. Thinking of the look in Lin Ruoxi's eyes when she left, why did it feel like they were back to when they first met, devoid of any emotional color? He thought that things would improve over these days and was looking forward to spending some quality time together after this trip home. But the current situation left Yang Chen feeling helpless and amused at the same time.
