Chapter 54

The person who entered breathed very carefully, as if afraid to disturb Lin Ruoxi on the bed.

Yang Chen heard that the footsteps were not those of Aunt Wang, and turned his head in confusion. When he saw who had come in, he was momentarily stunned.

"How can it be you!?"

Mo Qianyi asked in surprise first, her large, lovely, watery eyes wide open, making her originally charming face look especially endearing in the dim room.

"This is what I want to ask too, why are you here?" Yang Chen frowned, as he and Lin Ruoxi had always kept their relationship a secret. If Mo Qianyi found out, it might cause unnecessary trouble for the two of them.

Just as the two were in a state of shock and suspicion, the door opened again, and Aunt Wang walked in with a suitcase, smiling and said, "Miss Mo, this is the young master I mentioned. It's all thanks to the young master that Miss could pull through."

"Wang Mama..." Mo Qianyi pointed at Yang Chen in disbelief, almost shouting, "You... you're saying Yang Chen is Ruoxi's husband!?"

"What, are you surprised?" Since Aunt Wang had already said it, Yang Chen didn't want to hide anything more, and asked with a mischievous smile, "Or are you heartbroken that you no longer have a chance with such an excellent man like me?"

"Pah!" Mo Qianyi bit her teeth and said angrily, "I'm just puzzled, how could Ruoxi suddenly get married without a word, and even choose a scoundrel like you as her husband! You must have used some underhanded tricks!"

Seeing the two argue as soon as they met, Aunt Wang quickly intervened, "Alright, alright, Miss Mo, young master, we're still in the hospital room. You two are the closest to Miss, so please be a bit more considerate and less talkative."

Yang Chen pursed his lips and asked, "Aunt Wang, why did you come here with her?"

Aunt Wang explained with a smile, "On my way back to get the luggage, Miss Mo called to ask if Miss was at home. Young master might not know, but Miss Mo and Miss have known each other for a long time, even before the old lady was around. They often spent time together. Now they work together at Yu Lei. So their relationship is very close. In the past, Miss Mo often came to our house for dinner, but after the old lady passed away, she came less often. So when Miss Mo asked about this, I didn't hide it. When she heard that Miss was in the hospital, she insisted on coming with me to see her."

Yang Chen hadn't expected that Mo Qianyi and Lin Ruoxi were actually close friends. Indeed, when he saw them at the company, he had noticed that his wife and his superior seemed to have a good relationship, but he didn't know they were so close.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Mo. Ruoxi is already fine. If you're tired, you can go back and get a good night's sleep."

Mo Qianyi shot Yang Chen a glare. Although she was still upset that such a person could become the CEO's husband, now wasn't the time to talk about it. She walked to the bed and carefully examined Lin Ruoxi's pale face, saying worriedly, "You go to sleep yourself. I'm going to stay here with Ruoxi."

"You're not her wife, why are you staying?" Yang Chen joked.

"Go away!" Mo Qianyi was furious, "Don't think you're so great just because you're Ruoxi's husband. We've known each other for seven or eight years, you don't know anything!"

"I only know that if you keep talking so loudly, my dear wife will be woken up," Yang Chen said helplessly, making a gesture to be quiet.

Mo Qianyi immediately covered her mouth and whispered, "I finally understand why Ruoxi was so determined not to fire you. It turns out she can't fire you..."

"It's because I work hard, am responsible, and capable," Yang Chen winked at Mo Qianyi, "Miss Mo, don't forget to give me my share at the end of the month. I recovered 400,000 yuan."

The mention of this made Mo Qianyi even more upset. She huffed and ignored Yang Chen, pulling a chair to sit by the bed, saying nothing.

Aunt Wang, who was tidying up things nearby, sighed at the sight.

The night was silent, and the moonlight, like a clear spring, flowed through the thin window into the ward, making it peaceful and serene.

It was already midnight. After tidying up the clothes and other daily necessities, Aunt Wang hesitated for a long time before deciding to return to the Longjing Villa. After all, someone needed to look after the large house and take care of the daily chores. Besides, there were professional nurses in the hospital, and she could come to accompany Lin Ruoxi during the day. Staying overnight wasn't necessary.

In the ward, apart from the sleeping Lin Ruoxi, only Yang Chen and Mo Qianyi were sitting by the bed, silent.

After a long time, Mo Qianyi couldn't bear the dead silence and said, "Why did you marry Ruoxi? She never told me."

"We didn't plan to make it public. Now that you know, I hope you won't spread it around the company," Yang Chen said.

"I'm not a gossip, and I'm Ruoxi's good sister," Mo Qianyi said, somewhat dissatisfied, "But you, suddenly appearing and becoming Ruoxi's husband, do you have ulterior motives?"

Yang Chen laughed, "According to Aunt Wang, you've known each other since childhood. You should be quite familiar with her, right?"

"That's right," Mo Qianyi said, "When I was young, it was Ruoxi's mother, the old CEO, who helped me, which led to where I am today. Ruoxi is my good sister and the blood of my benefactor. I absolutely won't allow anyone to hurt her!"

Yang Chen ignored Mo Qianyi's wary gaze and continued, "Since you've known each other for so long, do you think Ruoxi is smarter or you are?"

"She's smarter," Mo Qianyi said bluntly, giving Yang Chen a glare, "Although I don't like to admit it, from a young age, she has always been better at everything than me. I just want to do my part and help her with some of the work."

"Then do you think she wouldn't think of what you can think of? I have my reasons for marrying her, and it has nothing to do with you," Yang Chen said.

Mo Qianyi gritted her teeth, "If you don't want to say, fine. You're full of sophistry and can insult people without using foul language. Don't think that just because you're Ruoxi's husband, I can't deal with you. I'm still your superior!"

"I just occasionally play high-intelligence games and chat with girls to provide some psychological counseling in my free time. Don't cause me trouble, and I won't bother with you," Yang Chen shook his head and stood up. "It's late now. I have things to do tomorrow. Miss Mo, if you want to go home, I can give you a ride. If you want to stay, remember not to catch a cold." He glanced at Lin Ruoxi on the bed with a strange smile and walked out of the room without looking back.

Mo Qianyi waved her fist at Yang Chen's back, wanting to stomp and shout, but ultimately held back.

After Yang Chen left, Mo Qianyi let out a long breath, feeling it wasn't worth getting upset over such a person. She reached out and held Lin Ruoxi's hand on the bed, whispering to herself, "Ruoxi, how could you choose such a scoundrel as your husband? Even if it's just for show, you don't have to torture yourself so much..."

"Actually, it's not that bad..."

Mo Qianyi was startled and looked up. Lin Ruoxi had opened her eyes at some point, though her face was tired, she was finally awake, her gaze soft as she looked at her.

"Ruoxi, you're awake? When did you wake up?" Mo Qianyi was pleasantly surprised.

Lin Ruoxi faintly smiled, clearly very close to Mo Qianyi, one of her few friends, "I woke up when he left."

"Did you wake up early and just wait for him to leave?" Mo Qianyi was somewhat amused and exasperated.

"I didn't dare to wake up when he was here," Lin Ruoxi's eyes flashed with a complex expression, and she didn't say more, closing her eyes to rest again.
