Chapter 677: Chapter 680: Quite the Support

As the song gradually faded away, the crowd in the Yulei Plaza erupted in various screams and shouts, as if they had just attended a concert by a superstar and were left wanting more. While Hui Lin's singing talent received further recognition, many people were also moved by the atmosphere and wanted to continue experiencing it.

However, someone suddenly shouted, "Kiss! Kiss!" and the entire audience picked up the chant!

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

The calls rang out, echoing through the city center, shaking the surrounding skyscrapers.

Yang Chen stood on stage, grinning. Who said modern city dwellers were cold and indifferent? These brothers and sisters were really supportive, helping him find a chance to be affectionate.

Lin Ruoxi, standing outside Yulei International's main entrance, felt differently. If it weren't for the fear of embarrassing herself, she would have turned and fled immediately! Kissing in front of hundreds or thousands of people? Even the idea of being together made her shy, let alone in such a public setting. Plus, with so many Yulei employees watching, how could she ever face them again if they saw her kiss?

Just as Lin Ruoxi's face flushed with embarrassment and she didn't know what to do, the situation suddenly changed!

Several piercing police sirens shattered the noise!

Police cars, ignoring the traffic lights, rushed to the edge of the plaza from two distant intersections and came to a halt. ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Dozens of burly police officers, armed with batons and even sidearms, stormed out of seven or eight police cars and charged aggressively towards the crowd.

"What's going on?! An illegal assembly?"

"Disperse! Disperse!"

"Who set up this stage?! Who is the organizer?!"

The crowd, seeing the fierce police officers approaching, immediately panicked. Upon hearing it was an "illegal assembly," which was against the law, they quickly scattered in all directions!

Chaos erupted in the plaza, with shouts and curses filling the air. No one was thinking about listening to the music or cheering anymore.

Wu Yue, standing behind Lin Ruoxi, anxiously said, "President Lin, this is bad! It must be because Director Yang's scene blocked the traffic around us. With so many people gathered in the city center, shouting and yelling, some citizens must have complained."

Lin Ruoxi no longer had any shy expressions. She had felt a bit sweet about Yang Chen's "wedding anniversary activity," but who knew that sweetness would be short-lived, turning into an "illegal assembly" and leading to complaints!

Sure enough, that man never gave her a moment of peace.

"Ruoxi, if this continues, it will eventually be traced back to us at Yulei. If we don't handle it well, it could seriously damage our corporate image and cause public dissatisfaction. We need to find a way to calm things down," Mo Qianni said worriedly.

Lin Ruoxi nodded, "I know. When Yang Chen comes over, he can explain himself. We can communicate with the media, and I believe the police won't be too difficult."

"I don't think he's coming to explain," Liu Mingyu said with a bitter smile.

"Huh?"

"He's already run away," Liu Mingyu pointed to the stage.

Lin Ruoxi looked over and nearly fainted from anger!

Indeed, Yang Chen, who had been there moments ago, had vanished, leaving only the stage in the center!

"How could he run away on his own?!" Lin Ruoxi didn't even bother to think about how Yang Chen managed to escape. With his skills, slipping away through the crowd was undoubtedly easy. The key issue was that he left the mess for her to deal with!

At that moment, Lin Ruoxi's phone vibrated. As expected, it was a message from Yang Chen!

Reading the message, Lin Ruoxi felt like smashing her phone!

Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu came forward to look and had mixed expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

"Wife, I looked so dashing on stage today, but if the police took me down at the end, it would be so embarrassing. To ensure a perfect performance, I've stepped back. You hold the fort; I believe in you! Happy first anniversary!" Yang Chen.

Zhenxiu ran up behind Lin Ruoxi, hugging her slender waist and giggling, "Sister Ruoxi, you're too stingy. You didn't even tell us it was your wedding anniversary. If Brother Yang hadn't rushed back from Yanjing, we would have missed it."

"You're such a busybody," Lin Ruoxi fondly patted Zhenxiu's head and smiled. A wedding anniversary? Who would have guessed that the two of them nearly divorced at noon.

Just then, Yang Chen, looking like he had just taken a cold shower, leisurely walked down from the second floor, his hair still slightly damp. Seeing Lin Ruoxi home, he grinned and said, "Wife, wasn't I thoughtful? I waited for you to come home to eat dinner!"

Thoughtful?!

Lin Ruoxi wanted to throw her bag at him and smash his face! How could this man be so shameless?!

She gave Yang Chen a sharp look, indicating that he knew very well what he had done, then restrained her displeasure and sat down with Guo Xuehua and the others.

Due to Yang Chen's prior instructions to Wang Ma, this dinner was particularly sumptuous. But as they ate, the conversation inevitably turned to Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi's marriage.

Guo Xuehua, full of concern, asked, "It's been a year since you two got married, and you still haven't had a wedding ceremony. Now that it's public, why not choose a date and have one? Whether it's in Zhonghai or Yanjing, it's fine with me."

"Yes, Miss, it's not good to keep delaying it," Wang Ma agreed.

Hearing the word "wedding," Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but blush a little. To be honest, despite being infuriated by Yang Chen earlier, she was deeply touched by his "gift." Moreover, now that their relationship was public, more people would soon know about them. Having a wedding seemed like a good idea.

"It's not the right time yet," Yang Chen suddenly said.

This snapped Lin Ruoxi back to reality, and she looked at her husband with slight surprise.

Yang Chen, munching on a chicken leg, smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I want to have the wedding, but there are still some preparations to be done, and a lot of things to handle. It's better to wait until the timing is right. After all, we've already waited a year; a little longer won't hurt."

Lin Ruoxi showed no change in her expression, but she felt a bit disappointed. She scolded herself for being so unreasonable. Did she really care that much? If there's no wedding, so be it.

Yang Chen seemed to notice something and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Ruoxi dear, you seem particularly disappointed. Can't wait any longer? If that's the case, just say the word, and I'll adjust my plans and we'll do it right away!"

"Who's disappointed?!" Lin Ruoxi's ears turned red as she glared at him, her eyes wide with indignation. "Stop saying nonsense! I don't care whether we have it or not. My schedule is packed for the next couple of years anyway. Do as you please."

Guo Xuehua and Wang Ma exchanged a knowing look and smiled, shaking their heads at the couple's banter.

Yang Chen didn't argue further. He finished his chicken leg, picked up another, and after a moment of silence, suddenly said to Guo Xuehua, "Mom, I'm planning to go to Yanjing again in a few days."

Everyone at the table paused and looked at Yang Chen in confusion.

Lin Ruoxi, being quick-witted, seemed to understand something and remained silent.

Guo Xuehua asked, "Son, do you have something to take care of again? You just came back two days ago."

Yang Chen shook his head, "Not immediately. There are still many things to deal with here in Zhonghai. I'm planning to take Ruoxi to visit home when I have some free time."

Hearing this, Guo Xuehua's eyes lit up, and her hands trembled with excitement. "Really? You're willing to go back to the Yang family?"

"Yeah," Yang Chen nodded, smiling. "This time in Yanjing, the old man conveyed some things to me, and I encountered some situations that made me think about a lot. Although I haven't made any firm decisions yet, I think I should visit that home and see for myself before making any plans."

Guo Xuehua's eyes reddened with tears of joy, and she repeatedly expressed her relief, smiling with gratitude.

When she decided to leave Yang Pojun and stay with Yang Chen, it was a tough decision. Despite this, she always felt guilty toward the Yang family, especially to Yang Gongming, her father-in-law. If Yang Chen could return to the Yang family, she wouldn't have to wander anymore, fulfilling her duties as a mother and taking care of her father-in-law.

For Guo Xuehua, family reunion was her greatest wish.

"Am I going too?" Lin Ruoxi, hearing that Yang Chen wanted to take her along, felt her heart race. She was filled with both joy and nervousness, unsure of what to do.

Yang Chen said naturally, "Of course you're going. We're legally married. Who else would go if not you? Besides, the old man liked you a lot last time. He'll be happy to see you."

Lin Ruoxi bit her lip and glanced at Guo Xuehua, who was looking at her encouragingly. She nodded, feeling a mix of emotions.
