Chapter 619: Chapter 622: The Wedding

A wedding?

Yang Chen felt a jolt of electricity shoot through his brain. He was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed foolishly, "That's right, I forgot we never had a wedding ceremony when we got married. Heh heh..."

Lin Ruoxi, munching on a sticky rice dumpling, couldn't be bothered to respond to this man. A lifelong event, and he managed to forget such an important detail.

"But," Yang Chen suddenly realized something was off. If he and Lin Ruoxi were to hold a wedding, they'd definitely need to invite guests. On his side, it was easy—friends and subordinates, no problem. But if Lin Ruoxi invited people, it would surely include colleagues and some of her good friends.

That's where the problem arose. If Mo Qianni, Liu Mingyu, the Cai sisters, and others attended their wedding, how would he face them?

Lin Ruoxi seemed to sense Yang Chen's inner turmoil and glanced at him with her beautiful eyes. "What, you don't want to?"

Yang Chen quickly shook his head, "Of course I want to! But does this mean our relationship will be made public?"

"Of course. Do you expect to get married only at home?" Lin Ruoxi said. Yang Chen thought to himself that Lin Ruoxi's move was indeed hard to refuse. He couldn't say no to holding a wedding with her, but once the wedding was held, everyone would know about their relationship. If he had any dealings with other women in the future, it wouldn't be just about him; how would the other women handle it?

Lin Ruoxi continued, "Of course, this isn't something that can be done right away. I need to see what kind of gift you're preparing. You can't just fool me with sticky rice dumplings. Even though I like them, I'm not going to sell myself for some sticky rice dumplings."

Yang Chen laughed sheepishly. He used to think his wife was quite "cheap" to please, considering a few sticky rice dumplings cost only a few cents. But now it seemed that when it came to serious matters, he had to spend real money.

A glint of mischief appeared in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. "When we first got married, I thought you were poor, so I didn't expect much from you, just that you wouldn't cause trouble. But now that I know you're much wealthier than I am, I will raise my expectations.

Ordinary people have their way of living, and rich people have theirs. Just like when I buy you clothes, I naturally pick out branded ones. It's become a habit. When we hold a wedding, I don't want some simple but sincere ceremony. I'm not some innocent little girl. If we're going to do it, it has to match our status.

Since you went all the way to Hokkaido for that vixen An Xin, I won't hold back either. I want both grandeur and genuine feelings. You figure it out."

Yang Chen felt himself trapped in Lin Ruoxi's palm, squeezed tightly without any room to resist. His wife's demands weren't unreasonable. A grand wedding wouldn't cost much, right?

"Should we invite Qianni and the others to our wedding?" Yang Chen tentatively asked.

Lin Ruoxi nodded without hesitation, smiling, "Of course. Not only Qianni, but also An Xin, Mingyu, and Rose must come. Do you have any other lovers? Invite them all. I want to greet each of them. They will surely give us their heartfelt blessings, right?"

Lin Ruoxi asked, "Yanjing? Are you going back home?"

Yang Chen paused. Lin Ruoxi was referring to the Yang family. He frowned, "No, it's for other business."

Lin Ruoxi simply said, "Oh," and continued eating her dumplings in silence.

"Don't you want to know who I'm going to Yanjing with?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

Lin Ruoxi shook her head, "Knowing will only make me upset. It's better not to know. Even if I ask you not to go, you won't listen to me."

Yang Chen smiled, "Why so generous all of a sudden?"

Lin Ruoxi shot him a glance, "I'll let you have some comfortable days. When the agreed one-year period is over, you'll understand how 'generous' I can be."

Yang Chen felt a chill down his spine. It turned out that the "clause" they had agreed upon at the beginning had saved him.

It was already midnight, and Lin Ruoxi showed no intention of resting. Yang Chen didn't dare interrupt her work. He was about to find a sofa to lie on when his phone vibrated.

Yang Chen wondered who would call him so late. Could it be someone from abroad?

But when he picked up, he was surprised to see it was Tang Tang's number. Wasn't she back at the Tang family's home in Yanjing with her mother, Tang Wan?

"Kiddo, what are you doing calling so late?" Yang Chen answered.

On the other end of the phone, Tang Tang's voice was very soft, even with a hint of sobbing, "Uncle... Mom, Mom, she's been poisoned..."

Tang Wan poisoned?!

It felt like a thunderbolt exploded in Yang Chen's mind, and his expression turned grim. "What's the situation? Explain clearly."

Lin Ruoxi, who was beside him, looked over in confusion. Seeing Yang Chen's face suddenly become extremely serious, she showed a trace of concern.
