Chapter 260: Chapter 261 - No Joking Around

Draped in a pure black silk evening gown with her hair elegantly pinned up, Lin Ruoxi seemed like an entirely different person. The gown, which flowed like ink spilled on water above her chest, swayed with her steps, contrasting sharply with her exposed arms, delicate collarbones, and fair, flawless skin in the air.

Although one could discern Lin Ruoxi's decent figure on ordinary days, usually clad in loose sleepwear or work uniforms, there was nothing particularly special about it. However, this close-fitting evening gown now completely enveloped her graceful figure. Standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, she paired it with black crystal high heels adorned with South African diamonds, creating perfect lines akin to the most outstanding golden curves painted by an artist.

What was even more remarkable was her terrifying wealth, allowing her to obtain a set of pure azure blue gemstones from somewhere. These lustrous and translucent blue sapphires were encased in exquisite platinum frames, clearly indicating they were crafted by a world-renowned jeweler. Yang Chen, who had seen numerous pieces of jewelry, quickly recognized them as the exceedingly rare "Cornflower Blue" sapphires from Kashmir.

Several large-sized sapphires and countless blue diamond shards formed Lin Ruoxi's necklace, earrings, and bracelets. Especially the large blue sapphire on her necklace in front resembled a deep pool of ocean water. This set of jewelry transformed the naturally elegant beauty, who typically exuded an air of purity, into one of noble elegance and grandeur.

Lin Ruoxi usually wore light makeup when going out, but tonight's banquet seemed to have prompted her to add some lip gloss and slightly arch her eyebrows, making her exquisitely delicate features particularly captivating.

Seeing Yang Chen sitting on the sofa, staring at her in a daze, Lin Ruoxi felt a bit shy at first. It had been many years since she had dressed up like this. But when she saw Yang Chen's eyes filled with pure admiration and no impurities, she couldn't help but feel inexplicably happy.

Approaching Yang Chen, Lin Ruoxi calmly said, "Let's go."

Yang Chen snapped out of his reverie and sighed, "Wife, let's not go."

Frowning, Lin Ruoxi asked, "Why? Are you going to chicken out at the last moment?!"

"It's not that," Yang Chen said, resisting the urge to pounce on her like a hungry wolf. Looking at this woman who exuded the scent of jasmine, he felt a genuine sense of pride from deep within. "If you go to the banquet dressed like this, every man will be staring at you. It will hurt me deeply. You know, I come from selling lamb skewers. I'm the pettiest of petty men."

Lin Ruoxi found it difficult to counter such a rogue and humorous reason. She bit her lip and said, "Stop joking. It's just a change of clothes. We'd get stared at the same way if we went out on the street." Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

Thinking about it, Yang Chen realized she was right. The last two times he walked with Lin Ruoxi on the street, they were indeed stared at by passersby. It seemed that in the future, he would have to lure this woman to a deserted island. No, he should bring all women to a deserted island and have them all to himself every day.

With various "dirty" thoughts in mind, Yang Chen stood up and walked out with Lin Ruoxi, bidding farewell to Wang Ma, who was home alone.

The Rolls-Royce was incredibly stable and quiet inside, and Li Ming, driving ahead, didn't dare to glance at the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Lin Ruoxi, like a sleeping child, leaned on Yang Chen's shoulder, her delicate lips slightly parted, exhaling the fragrance of orchids, appearing somewhat innocent and lovely.

Yang Chen lowered his head, a few traces of tenderness passing through his eyes. Unconsciously, he hoped the car could slow down a bit more, just enough to let this woman, who had worked so hard until now, sleep a little longer.

Time passed quickly inside the car, and in the blink of an eye, nearly an hour had gone by. Lin Ruoxi blinked sleepily as she woke up. The moment her consciousness cleared, she suddenly realized she was leaning on Yang Chen's shoulder.

Feeling slightly strange, the man beside her who hadn't moved at all, allowing her to use him as a pillow, unexpectedly gave her an unprecedented sense of tranquility and reassurance.

She must be tired, how else could she have such a ridiculous illusion?

Silently, Lin Ruoxi moved her head away from Yang Chen's shoulder and touched her temple to make sure her hair was not messy. Then, she casually asked, "How long did I sleep?"

"About five hours. The banquet is over," Yang Chen replied with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi frowned, glanced at the exquisitely embedded clock in front of the car, confirming it had been just under an hour. She turned back and glared at Yang Chen, saying, "Stop being so cheeky. This joke isn't funny at all."

"If you don't let me laugh, should I cry instead?" Yang Chen responded helplessly.

Ignoring him, Lin Ruoxi sat quietly without saying a word.

After watching her for a while, Yang Chen asked, "Did you rest well? You look much better."

Lin Ruoxi still didn't speak, clearly not wanting to engage with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen could only give up as well. The two of them remained silent until the car entered the Biyunji Group's resort, surrounded by colorful lights.
