Chapter 177: It’s Cake

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: It's Cake

As the movie ended, the lights in the theater came on, and the audience began to leave, bustling towards the exit.

Yang Chen turned around and saw that Lin Ruoxi had finished the entire bucket of popcorn, not a single kernel left. He couldn't help but chuckle. "You have a bigger appetite than I imagined."

Lin Ruoxi knew what he meant. She had finished eating without even realizing it. Blushing, she explained, "I just saw you weren't eating and was worried about wasting it."

"Who said I wasn't eating? I was saving it for you. Besides, I haven't had dinner yet either," Yang Chen said.

"Then shall we go for dinner?" Lin Ruoxi asked, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"Sure, what do you want to eat?"

Lin Ruoxi blinked and whispered, "How about cake?"

Yang Chen couldn't help but groan inwardly. His wife already surprised him by liking glutinous rice balls; now, she wanted to eat cake for dinner like a little girl?! Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Seeing that Yang Chen didn't seem to agree, Lin Ruoxi felt a little disappointed. "I just mentioned it casually. We can go for dinner or something else if you want."

"Let's have cake then. I remember there's a Starbucks across from the cinema. Although it's just an ordinary chain coffee shop, let's make do with it. I bet you've never been inside before," Yang Chen said.

Lin Ruoxi's eyes lit up at the mention of Starbucks. Suppressing her inner excitement, she casually nodded.

As one of the most common coffee chain brands in the world, Starbucks was indeed a popular choice for ordinary people. However, in Yanxia, many people seemed to treat it as a luxury, which was a strange phenomenon.

Lin Ruoxi, who had done a lot of research on this famous chain brand since she was young, knew about it but had never been inside due to her status. So when Yang Chen suggested going to Starbucks, she was more than happy to agree.

The two of them walked out of the cinema and headed towards the Starbucks coffee shop across the street in the night breeze.

Lin Ruoxi was wearing a fashionable professional suit she had worn during the day, her hair let down and fluttering in the wind. Her exquisite beauty, coupled with the cold temperament she had accumulated since childhood, attracted numerous gazes the moment she appeared.

Lin Ruoxi was accustomed to this kind of attention from a young age, but Yang Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable having other people look at his woman like this. It felt like being a wild beast guarding its prey, always uneasy.

However, there was nothing he could do. Yang Chen felt that if he were to go out with Mo Qianyi or Liu Mingyu, some people might prefer looking at Mo Qianyi, while others might prefer Liu Mingyu. They each had their own unique charm, appealing to different tastes. But if Lin Ruoxi were to stand among them, everyone's attention would be solely on her. It didn't mean that Mo Qianyi and Liu Mingyu weren't beautiful; it's just that some people naturally exuded a strong presence.

Neon lights on the roadside and car lights on the street flickered, casting a colorful glow over the entire city of Zhonghai.

The bustling noise of the people on the streets was different for Lin Ruoxi this time. She wasn't alone in this little corner; she had someone accompanying her.

Yang Chen teasingly retorted, "Did I say you'd be my wife, or that you'd be the one giving birth? Maybe in a while, you won't want me anymore, and I'll find a new wife. You're overthinking, aren't you?"

"You're incorrigible!" Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth, grabbed the hot mocha on the table, and stood up, pretending to splash it on Yang Chen.

Although Yang Chen knew it was just a bluff, he still instinctively protected his chest and recoiled slightly. "Even if you're angry, don't spill it on my clothes! Misfortune shouldn't befall my attire!"

"Rogue scoundrel," Lin Ruoxi muttered angrily, retracting her coffee cup and taking a sip herself.

The hot mocha had a layer of creamy white foam on its surface. As Lin Ruoxi casually sipped, the foam stuck to her thin, well-defined upper lip.

Seeing that streak of creamy white, Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh. "See, this is why women like this. Only when they're with women, everything stays clean. When they're with husbands, they like to have cream on their lips. Pretending not to notice, huh?"

Realizing there was something on her lips, Lin Ruoxi felt too embarrassed to lick it off with her tongue, so she reached for her bag to find a tissue.

"Don't bother, it's troublesome. Let me help you," Yang Chen said, leaning closer to Lin Ruoxi's face.

As their faces drew nearer, Lin Ruoxi gradually realized what Yang Chen was about to do. Her eyes widened in confusion, her heart in turmoil, as if the world had gone blank!

Finally, Yang Chen's lips kissed Lin Ruoxi's upper lip, coated with cream. It was cool, soft, and carried a hint of creaminess.

As if a clap of thunder had exploded, Lin Ruoxi was stunned.

Even after Yang Chen returned to his seat, Lin Ruoxi sat there, bewildered and at a loss.

Yang Chen found Lin Ruoxi's reaction incredibly adorable. "What's wrong? I thought using tissues would deplete the world's wood pulp and harm the environment. Should I use my clothes? These were bought by you, so I'm reluctant to use them for wiping."

Lin Ruoxi snapped back to reality, realizing she had just let him kiss her, albeit as her husband, so it wasn't exactly being taken advantage of, but still!

Having lost her virginity to him in a haze of confusion initially, neither of them had truly felt anything at the time. But now, they could tangibly sense each other's presence and warmth. With these thoughts in mind, Lin Ruoxi's cheeks flushed even deeper, almost dripping with moisture. "Don't do this again in the future. And by the way, I bought the clothes myself; I'm too lazy to have someone buy them for you."

"You've ruined such a beautiful moment with your lack of romance. Just pretend you bought them, problem solved," Yang Chen chuckled, trying to educate her.

"Enough bickering! Let's eat!" Lin Ruoxi demanded.

"This is cake," Yang Chen pointed out.

"Then eat the cake quickly!"

Lowering her head, Lin Ruoxi found it difficult to shake off the flush on her face. She began eating the cake faster, as if she had a grudge against it. But with every bite, why did it seem like the cake had been extra sweetened, as if it had been laced with honey?
