C924 Twenty and Thirty
He spread out his divine sense to check the metal. He could only feel some unrecognized inscriptions on it. They seemed to be codes, but Yang Chen could not recognize them at all.
Yang Chen didn't have any clues, so he could only keep these things in a parallel dimension. He didn't have the Taoist's Void Drawing Tao technique, but just by slightly using the Space Laws, he could achieve the same result.
After he was done, Yang Chen walked over to Lin Ruoxi, who was standing not far away.
Lin Ruoxi smelled a terrible stench and turned around. Seeing the bloody scene, her eyebrows knitted together.
Although it wasn't the first time she saw Yang Chen kill someone so coldly, she still wasn't used to it.
Yang Chen grabbed the woman's hand and said blushing, "Ruoxi, I just gave you a fright. Are you alright?"
Lin Ruoxi looked at the man with a complicated expression, gritting her teeth. "All of this was planned by you?"
"Uh, you can put it like that. Hehe, if I really were to die, how could he let you go? I'm not that stupid." Yang Chen grinned.
"You bastard!"
Annoyed, Lin Ruoxi lifted her foot and kicked Yang Chen's calf with her high heels.
"Do you know that my heart is about to break!? Why didn't you tell me!? You think it's fun to make me cry, don't you? You want to take revenge on me for chasing you out of your house, don't you!? "
Although Lin Ruoxi felt that she was making a ruckus without any reason, when she thought about how her heart was filled with grief just now because the man did not tell her the truth, she was so angry that her teeth itched.
Yang Chen hurriedly pretended to be in pain as he touched his lower leg. He smiled slowly and said, "I have no choice, I have to pretend. Your expression must come from the bottom of your heart. If she sees you crying in despair, he will believe that I am really done for. "I'm worried that if he sees the slightest flaw and becomes suspicious, you will be in danger …"
"What if he just won't take it back? Are you really going to bleed to death like that? " Lin Ruoxi asked with sparkling eyes.
Yang Chen was stunned. He thought for a moment and nodded, "I said, as long as I'm alive, I can't let you die first. Even if I feel sorry for others, there are some things that I have to do."
Lin Ruoxi closed the curtain, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and then said with her teeth slightly parted, "Then, even if I die with you, I will still remember you as I die. I will still remember your good points, right?"
"Look at you, isn't it all over now? You don't have to be so stubborn about such a small matter." Yang Chen laughed.
"Perhaps in your opinion, betting your life on my life is a small matter. However, in my eyes, this is something even bigger than the Heavens themselves …."
Lin Ruoxi said solemnly.
Yang Chen was startled. After a long time, he stopped smiling and asked, "Then when Yu Lei met with trouble, didn't you also not tell anyone and that everything was under your control?"
"That's because …"
"Because of what?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips and said, "Because I think you'll understand even if I tell you afterwards."
"That's right." Yang Chen sighed and said, "Although I will feel uncomfortable when I know the truth, but after a while, I will naturally not feel frustrated, because I can understand and accept your choice. Therefore, I believe you can forgive me for my reckless decision just now."
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head and muttered, "No matter what you say, you are the one who makes sense …"
When Yang Chen saw the woman's innocent look, he couldn't help but want to reach out to touch her face. However, when he was halfway through, he remembered that the two of them seemed to still be in the cold war. This action was a bit too ambiguous.
He didn't know if Lin Ruoxi had forgiven him for the incident with Xiao Zhiqing, but Yang Chen couldn't help but stay in a deadlock in the middle of the air.
Lin Ruoxi was also aware of this fact. Seeing the hesitation in Yang Chen's eyes, she felt a little sour in her heart.
If she said she still hated him, then it would be impossible to talk about it anymore. After narrowly escaping death, she had let go of a lot of things.
Angry at him? It didn't seem so obvious.
However, Lin Ruoxi was reserved, so she didn't take the initiative to pull Yang Chen's hand over and put it on her face.
"Cough, cough …" Yang Chen was a bit uncomfortable as he said: "Let's go back to Zhong Hai. Hongyan is in a hurry at the company. Do you want to call her first?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded silently and went to pick up her phone from the ground. Fortunately, the phone was modified so it didn't break.
After telling Zhao Hongyan that he was safe, Lin Ruoxi hung up the phone and looked at Yang Chen questioningly.
Yang Chen went forward and embraced her slender waist. Through the dress, it was soft and flexible.
"I will try to be as slow as possible, so close your eyes because it might be too stimulating for you …"
"Are we flying back?" Lin Ruoxi still didn't dare to imagine, flying back to Zhong Hai through the air.
Yang Chen shrugged, "Then what else can we do? Do we need to buy a plane ticket after going down the mountain, or take a long distance bus?"
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him and obediently closed her eyes.
More than ten minutes later, Yang Chen brought Lin Ruoxi back to the West Suburb Courtyard at the slowest speed possible.
One of them was covered in dust while the other was covered in blood. Of course, they couldn't go to the company or something like that.
Fortunately, the distance between these West Suburb Courtyard houses was extremely far, and when they landed outside of the door, no one would pass by to see the two "miserable states".
Yang Chen let go of Lin Ruoxi's waist and said with a smile, "You can open your eyes now. We're home."
Lin Ruoxi opened her eyes in a daze, her eyelashes trembling. She found it hard to believe that she was already at home.
Yang Chen rubbed his hands on his pants a few times. He didn't know what to do, was he going to enter the house? He was afraid that Lin Ruoxi had not yet calmed down.
Not going in? He wasn't willing to give up. He had already risked his life, so he might as well let Xiao Zhiqing go!
Seeing Yang Chen's conflicted expression, Lin Ruoxi guessed the reason. She lowered her head and asked, "Do you have something to say?"
Yang Chen took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment. He then asked with a smile, "Ruoxi, what I want to say is … Then I'll just leave like that? "
The ideal answer would naturally be "don't go", leaving him behind so that Yang Chen could get down from the stage.
However, Lin Ruoxi seemed to be thinking of something as her hands gripped the hem of her skirt and she remained silent.
Yang Chen felt a bit embarrassed. He retreated a few steps in disappointment and asked again, "Then I will really leave?"
Lin Ruoxi still stood at the door without saying anything.
Yang Chen was on the verge of tears. What kind of situation was this? Even if she was still angry, she should at least give an explanation!
Fully exhausted, Yang Chen turned around and staggered out, wondering where he should go to take a bath and change clothes.
At this moment, Lin Ruoxi, who was behind him, stopped him.
"You're leaving just like that?"
There was a trace of anger in the woman's voice, clear as a stream.
Yang Chen turned around stiffly and said with a wry smile, "If you're still angry, then I can't always be in front of you brazenly. I don't want to make you angrier …"
"Are you an idiot!?" Lin Ruoxi, for once, changed "bastard" to "idiot."
For someone like her who had received a good education since childhood, scolding others might only be this much of a bottom line.
Yang Chen was stunned and stood on the spot. He looked at the unfathomable woman in confusion.
Lin Ruoxi felt like she was going crazy. With a headache, she closed her eyes and asked Yang Chen in a delicate voice, "Didn't you say you loved me?"
Yang Chen was at a loss. Seeing the woman blushing, he was completely dumbfounded.
Lin Ruoxi panted, her emotions clearly unstable.
"If you really love me, then why didn't you ask me twice?
Think about all the harm you've done to me, at least twenty, thirty times, asking if I can stay, asking if I can forgive you, that'll do!
If you can do that, I can pretend, nonchalantly, reluctantly, coldly promise you!
Is that all you can do, you big liar! "
A big liar?
The three words that echoed in Yang Chen's ears made his heart surprisingly sweet and warm.
What was wrong with him? Why was he so happy when he was scolded like a pig's head by a woman?
No wonder it was said that a woman who fell in love would become a fool. Who said that a man wasn't?
With one step and two steps, he dashed towards Lin Ruoxi.
Yang Chen pushed his hands forward and pushed Lin Ruoxi against the door.
Squeezed in a small space, the two of them faced each other, in between each other.
"I'm not a swindler, I'm a thief." Yang Chen's mouth twitched.
Lin Ruoxi feigned calmness as she widened her eyes. However, there was a trace of panic in her eyes.
"What Thief …"
"Heart Thief."
With that, Yang Chen gently kissed the woman's red lips.
Lin Ruoxi widened her eyes. Her delicate body trembled, but she didn't push the man away.
Yang Chen didn't kiss too deeply or too heavily. This was just a symbolic dot on something.
After he parted his lips, Yang Chen smiled as if he was relieved of a burden, "Although someone told me that if I said 'I love you' to a woman, I can't say 'I'm sorry', but I still want to tell you that there are a lot of things that I'm really 'sorry' for. "However, from now on, I guarantee that there won't be another Xiao Zhiqing."
Lin Ruoxi's previously shy face suddenly turned cold and stern. "You're not allowed to mention this name!"
Yang Chen was surprised for a moment before he smiled bitterly.
"Miss? "The young mistress is back?" Nanny Wang's shout came from inside the house. It was obvious that she had heard the commotion outside.
Lin Ruoxi quickly pushed Yang Chen away from her and turned around to adjust her appearance. She didn't look too embarrassed as she replied, "Yes, Nanny Wang, open the door."
Nanny Wang hurriedly ran to the door, and when she opened it, she saw Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi's expressions. She shouted in panic, "Yo, what happened? Why is Young Master covered in blood? "
"Nanny Wang, don't be so excited. We are fine. "Aren't you coming back to take a shower and change your clothes?" Yang Chen comforted.
Nanny Wang had experienced a few things and quickly calmed down. She frowned and said, "But if that's the case, how can we meet this customer?"
"Customer, what customer?"
Yang Chen was puzzled.
Nanny Wang smiled helplessly, "Just five minutes ago, a Miss Xiao came to see you. She was waiting in the living room."
Miss Xiao?!
Yang Chen was about to go berserk on the spot! Didn't I tell this woman to go as far away as she can!? Had she not caused enough trouble!?
Sure enough, Lin Ruoxi's murderous intent that she had just restrained spread out. She turned around and glared fiercely at Yang Chen, then turned around and said, "Nanny Wang, it's alright. If it's her, then it doesn't matter!"
