"I have an affair, not with her. Oh, no! I'm not having an affair with anyone. I just... Here I... "Ouch …"
Yang Chen was on the verge of tears, how could he explain this!?
Lin Ruoxi obviously did not want to continue listening to his story. Her face was frosty from anger. She took a deep breath, turned around and ran up the stairs.
Guo Xuehua shouted, but Lin Ruoxi didn't stop. She ran to the study room and slammed the door.
Downstairs, Lanlan pouted and said angrily, "Bad uncle! "Bullying Mom!"
Min Juann hurried over to comfort Lanlan, afraid that this little ancestor would flip the table.
Yang Chen didn't have the time to argue with the little girl. He scratched his head and was not in the mood to eat. He felt both frustrated and helpless at the same time.
"You child! What are you daydreaming for! Explain it to Ruoxi! Wouldn't it be even worse if you didn't explain it to her!? " Guo Xuehua patted Yang Chen's shoulder.
Yang Chen thought about it and then ran upstairs to knock on the door of the study.
Lin Ruoxi, who was in the study room, did not react at all. From the outside, Yang Chen could only hear rapid breathing, obviously angry.
Yang Chen looked down helplessly and spread his hands.
"I think we should wait for Ruoxi to calm down first. She won't even see me …"
Guo Xuehua and Nanny Wang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Any kind of explanation would be useless at this moment. After all, Yang Chen had a lot of history behind him. Lin Ruoxi definitely wouldn't believe it.
However, the two adults were more mature. As long as she thought carefully, if Yang Chen really had something to do with that girl, how would he be able to come back for dinner? Therefore, they weren't too worried. They just waited for Lin Ruoxi to calm down and explain everything clearly.
In the end, they ate most of the dinner and then packed everything up. Fortunately, Lanlan also ate a lot, so she didn't waste too much of it.
Yang Chen went back to his bedroom while sighing. Just as he was about to take a shower and change clothes, he found a communication request from Soren on his open laptop.
Yang Chen's spirit was lifted. He quickly opened it up and found that Soren had already sent him a lot of documents. However, he wasn't home today and didn't notice it.
After clicking on the video chat, he saw Soren, who was wearing reading glasses, looking at some information.
Having gotten used to this red-haired old man's rough appearance, suddenly wearing his glasses made Yang Chen feel a little uncomfortable … Soren was also old. Speaking of which, quite a few years had passed since he saved him.
Seeing Yang Chen finally respond, Soren turned his head and nodded respectfully, "Sir Pluto, we have found eight regions with ancient civilizations that haven't been destroyed by too many people. We have already sent all the relevant information to you."
Yang Chen nodded, "I'll take a closer look later. It's been hard on you guys. Did you encounter any problems along the way?"
"There's no problem, but I'm curious. What's the use of Mr. Pluto finding such a place? These places were mostly desolate, and because they weren't suitable for humans to live in, there were only some traces of ancient civilization. If it was an ordinary person, they would most likely die in those places ".
Yang Chen smiled, "You have to find something that most people can't go to, so you can find it. Alright, I won't be able to understand it even if I told you. Let's talk about it in the future — I want to look at the information first."
Soren was not a talkative person, so he quickly took his leave and hung up.
Yang Chen pulled out the information about the eight locations and immediately started to read it carefully.
Soren had sent people to investigate it thoroughly, and it took quite a bit of time to read it.
When they were all done, Yang Chen probably chose the first place he wanted to go. Of course, he had to ask Xiao Zhiqing for her opinion before he went there, so he contacted her and asked for her opinion.
Xiao Zhiqing had dropped out of school and was free all day, so she replied very quickly.
The two coincidentally excluded the Great Swamp, Amazon, and Panamanian forests of the southern United States, choosing the more remote interior of the northern Australian continent of Anam.
That place was not only a deserted area in the world, but also a region with indigenous civilizations since 50,000 years ago. According to Xiao Zhiqing's words, only where humans were born would there be enough spirit energy to nurture those unknown pill materials.
It was almost October, Australia was in the southern hemisphere, and its northern part was gradually entering its summer phase in October, especially in a region of tropical steppe climate such as Anamdi, where water was a problem. It would be particularly unpleasant to wait any longer, and one had to leave early to get there.
Xiao Zhiqing was staying at home and was obviously anxious to get out. Besides, she didn't have to worry about the danger as long as Yang Chen was there. She was filled with interest.
After closing his notebook, Yang Chen sighed. Although Lin Ruoxi might still be angry at him, he still had to tell her about his long journey tonight. Especially if he had to tell her, he had to take Xiao Zhiqing with him.
Regardless of whether Lin Ruoxi was happy or not, he couldn't be too indulgent towards her. After all, all the women were involved.
After thinking for a while, Yang Chen took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom. It was better to take a shower first before talking to Lin Ruoxi.
At the same time, in Lin Ruoxi's study room.
Nanny Wang placed a plate of sliced fruits on Lin Ruoxi's desk. She looked at Lin Ruoxi's cold expression, who was busy rewriting the documents, and couldn't help but smile.
"Miss, are you still angry?"
Lin Ruoxi looked up and pouted, saying, "Nanny Wang, don't speak up for that bad guy. It's just you helping him all the time, he doesn't care about us anymore."
Nanny Wang forced a smile. "How could that be? Of course I'm helping you, Young Miss. But Young Master really didn't lie to you this time …"
Lin Ruoxi snorted lightly and said, "Nanny Wang, how do you know? He has a lot of evil ideas. Back then, he had a silent relationship with those foxes. Even Qianni and Mingyu were taken advantage of by him under my nose."
Nanny Wang found the sour words funny, but she resisted the urge to clear her throat and said, "Actually, the reason why Young Master said that girl was so attached to Young Master was not because of Young Master …" She continued, "I didn't have the heart to say that it was actually like this that day …"
Nanny Wang slowly recounted the misunderstanding between Luo Xiaoxiao and Yang Chen.
As Lin Ruoxi listened, she also knew that what Nanny Wang said was the truth. Immediately, she felt a bit regretful. "Nanny Wang, why didn't you say it out loud at dinner!"
"This …" Nanny Wang said embarrassedly, "After all, it's a matter of face and buttocks. Furthermore, Lanlan was also here just now. How can I say that?"
"Why is that girl so thick-skinned?" Lin Ruoxi frowned discontentedly, but her eyes were filled with more regret.
It seemed that she had indeed blamed Yang Chen wrongly. Actually, if she had calmed down and thought about it, if Yang Chen had anything to do with that girl, he wouldn't have hurried back for dinner.
The more she thought about it, the more Lin Ruoxi blushed. However, the pride she had developed since she was young, not wanting to admit defeat, made her unable to immediately drop her pride and ask Yang Chen for forgiveness.
Nanny Wang saw through Lin Ruoxi's thoughts and said with a smile, "Miss, don't be stubborn. If you want to apologize, go ahead. There's no relationship between husband and wife."
"I... I don't want to apologize. Hmph, he bullied me so many times, so it's fine even if I misunderstand him once? " Lin Ruoxi said stubbornly.
Nanny Wang sighed. "To be honest, Miss, between a couple, there's nothing more valuable than having a man who can tolerate you unconditionally, especially when it's like Young Master. Actually, he's not unworthy of you." She went on, 'He loves you not to argue with you, but you're going to have to occasionally lower your temper.'
Lin Ruoxi felt awkward when she heard this. Her mind was in a mess. She put down her pen, stood up, and headed for the door.
"Nanny Wang, you should go watch TV, I'll go coax Lanlan to sleep …"
As she spoke, Lin Ruoxi ran in the direction of her bedroom, looking to be fleeing for her life.
Nanny Wang wanted to call out but she didn't. She looked at the plate of fruit Bai brought up and could only shake her head with a chuckle.
When Lin Ruoxi arrived at her bedroom, she found Lanlan already lying on her bed, sleeping obediently.
The way the child was sleeping made her feel pity for him. Somehow, Min Juann said that Lanlan could have stayed awake for a few days, but ever since she slept with her, Lanlan's sleep had been as good as that of other children.
Min Juann laughed, saying that Lanlan was afraid of her mother, so she went to sleep obediently.
However, Lin Ruoxi always had a strange feeling. It was because Lanlan was by her side, that she was able to relax and sleep obediently.
Of course, Lanlan couldn't explain it herself either. In her child's world, she could only sleep and eat whatever she wanted.
Lin Ruoxi walked to the bedside and bent down to kiss her daughter on the forehead.
Lanlan clicked her tongue and pursed her lips. She seemed to be daydreaming, and her appearance was extremely charming and charming.
"Silly child, you're still dreaming about eating good food, right? If this goes on, mother will be afraid that you'll get fatter in the future." Lin Ruoxi thought to herself.
After quietly leaving the room, Lin Ruoxi was still worried about how to reconcile with Yang Chen. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was going too far. She didn't want to hear what he had to say, so she had wrongly accused him – even though it was hard for her to believe him under those circumstances.
Unknowingly, Lin Ruoxi walked through the corridor on the second floor to the end of the corridor. She pushed open two glass doors and stepped onto the balcony.
