Chapter 410: Chapter 410: In One Hour

In the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Zhonghai, Ning Guodong, having just attended a banquet, removed his custom-made suit by a Milan designer. He poured himself a glass of chilled Bordeaux, sat in a large leather chair by the window, crossed his legs, and sipped the wine while gazing dreamily at the enchanting night outside.

At that moment, his phone vibrated. Ning Guodong glanced at the number and answered, his expression unchanged, "How did it go?"

The man's voice on the other end was somewhat disheartened. "I'm sorry, sir. We were recognized by that man named Yang Chen."

"What?!" Ning Guodong doubted his hearing. "Are you useless? Aren't you supposed to be trained agents of the Security Bureau? How can you fail at such a simple task?!"

"Sir, we don't know what happened. Our surveillance should have been flawless, yet somehow that Yang Chen noticed us. He even paid for our meal, which is really baffling."

"Baffling, my foot! Are you idiots?!" Ning Guodong cursed, "You don't need to work on this anymore. Pack up and go home. I don't need worthless people like you!"

He then hung up the phone furiously and looked out the window with a gloomy expression, muttering to himself, "It seems that guy does have some skills. Could the incident at the Yang family mansion be true? Yang Chen, Yang Pojun, and Yang Gongming... If he really is from the Yang family, then this won't be easy."

Ning Guodong was not a fool; in fact, he was much smarter than the average son of a wealthy family. Otherwise, Ning Guangyao wouldn't have entrusted him with important tasks at such a young age. Considering the incident at the Yang family mansion, coupled with Yang Chen's driving skills today and his seemingly marital relationship with Lin Ruoxi, Ning Guodong could deduce that Yang Chen was definitely not just an ordinary employee of Yu Lei International. It seemed highly likely that he was indeed a member of the Yang family.

"Yang Chen, no matter who you are, you won't be smug for long. There's no woman Lin Ruoxi or anyone else can reject me, and you won't be an exception!"

After speaking to himself, Ning Guodong gulped down the wine along with the ice cubes, crushing them with his teeth, making a crunching sound.

Meanwhile, in the villa of Dragon Garden, in the living room.

Lin Ruoxi looked at Guo Xuehua's expectant eyes and said awkwardly, "Aunt Guo, Yang Chen and I... we don't want to have children yet."

"It's okay, I know you both have been busy lately. After this busy period, we can think about having children once we move," Guo Xuehua said, setting her sights on the time after they moved.

Seeing Lin Ruoxi's face flush with embarrassment, Yang Chen couldn't bear it. He smiled and asked, "We haven't decided where to move yet. Aunt Wang, you suggested it. Have you found a place?"

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "There's no need to look. Our old house has always been empty. I have someone clean it every week. We can move in directly. The house is big enough to accommodate more than twenty people. It's a large mansion from the Republic of China era."

The old house Aunt Wang mentioned was the one Lin Ruoxi had talked about before, which was seized by Lin Kun.

After Lin Kun's death, all his remaining property reverted to Lin Ruoxi, and naturally, that house belonged to her.

However, Lin Ruoxi had been too busy to do anything about it and, whenever she thought of the old house, she remembered her deceased relatives and didn't want to bring it up.

Now that Aunt Wang mentioned it, Lin Ruoxi felt a tinge of sadness in her eyes but said nothing.

Yang Chen shrugged, "There's bound to be someone."

"Even so, I wouldn't trade you for anyone. Though you might be like a feudal lord with many women and many subordinates, I just like you for who you are. What can I do?" An Xin said softly.

Yang Chen's hand started to roam over An Xin's body. "Little vixen, we didn't do it yesterday. How about we make up for it now?"

An Xin's cheeks turned a delicate shade of red, her eyes misting over. "It's so early in the morning. What if someone needs you urgently?"

"What urgent matter could there be? Look at you, already pouting those lips waiting for a kiss," Yang Chen said with a mischievous grin.

An Xin immediately pursed her lips and stared at Yang Chen with a hint of resentment. She could only blame herself for enjoying their intimate moments too much.

Just as Yang Chen was about to take things further, the phone on his desk rang.

Yang Chen sighed and picked up the phone, "Who's calling so early?"

An Xin rolled her eyes. Who answers the phone like that in an office?

There was a moment of silence on the other end before a familiar female voice said, "Am I interrupting you and that foxy An Xin, my little lover?"

Yang Chen broke into a cold sweat and chuckled, "Oh, it's you, Mingyu. Why would you say that? I was just thinking about you, planning to come see you, and got interrupted by the call."

Knowing it was a lie, Liu Mingyu still laughed on the other end, "You're such a liar. Alright then, since you miss me, come to my office right now. I have something to discuss with you."

"Right now?" Yang Chen glanced at An Xin, who was ready for him, and licked his lips, "How about in an hour?"

"No way. I have a meeting later. If you want to do bad things, arrange your own time," Liu Mingyu said angrily.

Yang Chen laughed, "Alright, fine. I guess I can do it at your place too."

After hanging up, Yang Chen saw An Xin looking at him with disdain, "Flirting with another woman right in front of me and saying such things so openly. You're becoming more like an old-time lecherous feudal lord."

Yang Chen pinched her cheek, "What else can I do? Should I abandon all of you? Since you're all here, I can't spend my days fretting over how to treat you all. If I can't cry, I might as well face it with a smile."

An Xin, though aware of his twisted logic, tacitly accepted it.

Yang Chen gently set An Xin down from his lap and stood up, ready to go to Liu Mingyu's office. Ever since Liu Mingyu became a department head, she had been as busy as Mo Qianni, so it was unusual for her to ask him to see her during a workday. He was curious to find out what was so important.
