Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Is There Something Wrong?

Yang Chen returned to the private room, where several already loosened-up female escorts were desperately pulling Mo Qianni, forcing the microphone to her lips while singing loudly and urging her to sing along.

Mo Qianni didn't seem to mind this playful chaos. The young escorts, having drunk some foreign liquor, were now dizzy and, in their excitement, had completely disregarded their professional roles in the company.

On the other side, Liu Mingyu forced a slight smile, while Lin Ruoxi sat quietly on the sofa, deep in thought. When Yang Chen entered the room, both women looked up at him.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, indicating that the trouble had been resolved.

Liu Mingyu initially looked relieved, but then a trace of guilt appeared on her face.

Yang Chen walked up to Liu Mingyu and discreetly patted her on the shoulder. He didn't hide his concern for his woman, even with Lin Ruoxi present. Yang Chen believed that instead of being overly cautious and secretive, it was better to honestly express his feelings.

Lin Ruoxi watched Yang Chen's subtle gesture indifferently, unconcerned with Liu Mingyu's anxious glance.

"Let's go," Lin Ruoxi suddenly said.

Yang Chen, who had just sat down, asked in confusion, "Go?"

"I'm not feeling well," Lin Ruoxi said, her face expressionless.

Yang Chen smiled wryly. This was definitely not a physical discomfort but rather an emotional one.

"Are you unwilling?" Lin Ruoxi seemed slightly angry, her voice growing colder.

Yang Chen didn't know what had upset this lady, but he knew that going against her wishes at this moment would clearly signal that he didn't want to continue their relationship.

"Alright, since you're not feeling well, let's go back," Yang Chen said as he stood up and told Liu Mingyu, "We have to leave now, but don't overthink things."

Liu Mingyu, anxious, looked at Lin Ruoxi, who was also looking at her and shook her head slightly.

With her years of experience at Yu Lei, Liu Mingyu naturally understood that Lin Ruoxi was indicating that this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Drive slowly and take care of President Lin," Liu Mingyu said softly, her voice nearly drowned out by the music in the private room.

Yang Chen nodded, turned around, and left the room with Lin Ruoxi.

Their departure left the sober employees in the room puzzled, but when they asked Liu Mingyu, her only explanation was that President Lin had something to attend to and Director Yang was driving her home. The details remained unknown.

Meanwhile, having left the Purple Moon Pavilion nightclub, Yang Chen leisurely followed Lin Ruoxi to the parking lot, both of them silent. They got into the car and drove out of the parking lot onto the main city road.

The night was deep, and the outside lights created a splendid and colorful scene. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

"I don't care about your romantic affairs, just don't let Aunt Guo think it's my fault that you're out causing trouble. I've already warned you," Lin Ruoxi said with a heart full of grievances. What kind of wife was she, helping her husband filter through his lovers?

Though she hadn't fulfilled her duties as a wife, the number of Yang Chen's lovers was just too many.

Yang Chen, however, suddenly fell into deep thought and remained silent all the way home, making Lin Ruoxi feel uneasy.

When they arrived at the villa, the lights in the living room were still on, and the TV was broadcasting the evening news rerun. However, the only person watching TV was Guo Xuehua. Wang Ma and Hui Lin had presumably gone upstairs to sleep.

Guo Xuehua, wearing pajamas and a blanket, with her hair down, looked extremely fatigued despite her enduring beauty.

Hearing the noise, Guo Xuehua turned around and saw Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi walking in together, a loving smile of relief appearing on her face. "You're back. Did you have fun?"

"Yes," Lin Ruoxi responded softly. "Aunt Guo, you don't have to wait up for us. We're not children."

"In front of elders, you'll always be children. Which parent doesn't worry about their kids? You'll understand when you become a mother," Guo Xuehua said with a smile.

Lin Ruoxi lowered her head, not daring to respond, fearing the conversation would lead to the topic of having children. Although she was mentally prepared to spend her life with Yang Chen, she felt she needed much more time to mentally prepare for having children.

Even though they had been physically intimate, that one experience had left Lin Ruoxi deeply traumatized. Before meeting Yang Chen, she had never even held hands with a man. In her world, there was no concept of romantic relationships. But in the end, she had inexplicably lost her virginity to a scruffy kebab vendor in such a wild and unmemorable night. At that time, Lin Ruoxi had genuinely contemplated suicide.

Even though Yang Chen has completely transformed into a different person now, for Lin Ruoxi, there are too many scars that are difficult to erase, and fear naturally arises.

Yang Chen looked quietly at Guo Xuehua with a complex expression.

Guo Xuehua was a bit puzzled and asked her son with concern, "Yang Chen, is there something wrong?"

Yang Chen took a deep breath and grabbed Lin Ruoxi's small hand with one hand, causing Lin Ruoxi beside him to be horrified. He wondered if this scoundrel wanted to use the convenience of being in front of Guo Xuehua to make himself do something embarrassing?

"Ruoxi, you are not allowed to call her Guo Yi, but in the future, you must call her Ma," Yang Chen said.

Lin Ruoxi was stunned, and Guo Xuehua stood still in place.

As Yang Chen spoke, he grabbed Lin Ruoxi and, as he knelt down, made Lin Ruoxi's body involuntarily fall to the ground.

"Mom, I didn't kneel during the Chinese New Year. Now, as children, we all kneel down and kowtow to Mom. The old man is right. In this world, no parents owe their children. I have no reason not to call you 'Mom' because the person who shot me is not you, but that person."

After Yang Chen finished speaking, he knocked his head heavily on the ground.

Lin Ruoxi stared blankly at Yang Chen as he finished a series of things. In the end, he was a bit confused, but still couldn't help but kowtow to Yang Chen, blushing and yelling softly, "Mom."

At this moment, Guo Xuehua was already in tears, wanting to say something, but unfortunately couldn't help but cry.
