Chapter 62

Sitting in Yang Chen's car, Li Jingjing felt that this was the happiest day of her life, even more exciting than the day she graduated from university.

Nizi's face was always filled with a sweet smile, which made Yang Chen, who was driving, somewhat at a loss for words.

"Are you that happy?" Yang Chen couldn't help but ask.

Li Jingjing nodded seriously, "But I think Team Leader Jiang isn't very happy."

Yang Chen glanced at Li Jingjing, unable to resist laughing, "So you know everything, yet you still pretend to be clueless."

"Hehe," Li Jingjing smiled, "Actually, I don't understand everything, but if I think about it carefully, I can understand some of what Big Brother Yang does."

"Listen, if Jiang Shuo bullies you or makes things difficult for you in the future, tell me, and I'll help you, just like I did with the Chen family last time," Yang Chen said solemnly.

"Okay, I know, Big Brother Yang."

Throughout, Li Jingjing didn't ask much about the Chen family, and her wisdom surprised Yang Chen a bit, but also gave him some peace of mind. This girl might know more than he imagined, but most of the time, she was content to be a silly neighbor, quietly caring for him.

When they arrived at Li Jingjing's house, Old Li and his wife were just returning from a walk. Seeing Yang Chen and Li Jingjing get out of the car, they both looked surprised.

"Good boy! Amazing!" Old Li exclaimed, seeing the car Yang Chen was driving, "I knew you weren't simple, Xiao Yang. So soon, you changed jobs and even upgraded from a two-wheeler to a four-wheeler!"

Li's mother, on the other hand, focused on the large and small bags of clothes Li Jingjing had taken out of the car, asking anxiously, "Jingjing, why did you buy so many clothes? These bags look so nice, the clothes must be very expensive, right!?"

"Mom..." Li Jingjing called out, a bit shyly, "Big Brother Yang bought them for me."

The old couple both looked at her with a strange expression, but they seemed happy, and their eyes grew warmer as they looked at her.

Li Jingjing knew what her parents were thinking, but if she told them about Yang Chen's marriage, they definitely wouldn't let her contact him again. So she just blushed and picked up a pile of clothes, running into the house without even saying goodbye to Yang Chen.

Old Li said earnestly, "Xiao Yang, Jingjing had a tough childhood, don't let her down."

Yang Chen, feeling somewhat amused and frustrated, didn't know what to do, so he could only nod and smile. At this moment, explanations would be superfluous and might cause more trouble.

Saying goodbye to the old couple who treated him like a son-in-law, Yang Chen felt a bit lost. As he drove, he thought that if he hadn't accidentally met Lin Ruoxi, marrying Li Jingjing would have been a good choice, as she was sensible and virtuous.

But thinking of his wife still lying in the hospital, Yang Chen dismissed the thought. No matter what, he still had to move forward with Lin Ruoxi. As for the future, who could predict it?

When he drove back to Longjing Garden, the temperature outside had dropped, and the cold wind blowing through the trees made the spacious villa area seem particularly quiet.

Just as Yang Chen was about to open the door to go inside, Aunt Wang opened it from the inside, catching him off guard.

"Aunt Wang, going out so late?" Yang Chen asked doubtfully.

Aunt Wang was delighted and smiled, "You're back, Young Master. Just in time, I was planning to take the books Miss Lin wanted to the hospital. Although she agreed to rest for half a month, she said she must read. Why don't you come with me? I think Miss Lin will be very happy."

She doesn't look happy... Yang Chen thought, but said, "It's so late, Aunt Wang, why don't you rest early? I can take the books myself."

Aunt Wang, thinking the young couple wanted some privacy, didn't say more and immediately handed a large plastic bag of books to Yang Chen before going back inside.

Yang Chen, who had just returned home, set out again, heading to the First Hospital of Zhonghai for the second time that day.

When he arrived at Lin Ruoxi's ward after more than half an hour, the light in the room was still on, but Lin Ruoxi wasn't alone. A woman Yang Chen didn't particularly want to see, even if she was beautiful, was sitting by her side.

"Wow, the busy man still remembers to visit the hospital," Mo Qianyi, who seemed to be discussing something with Lin Ruoxi, said sarcastically when she saw Yang Chen enter.

Yang Chen ignored his meddlesome superior and smiled as he placed a bag of books on the bedside table, "Aunt Wang is old, and it's too tiring for her to go out at night. I brought them for her. In the future, just tell me, it's too much for Aunt Wang to do this kind of thing."

Lin Ruoxi glanced at the books indifferently and said, "I'll call you next time."

Yang Chen was quite satisfied that Lin Ruoxi had listened to him. It seemed this woman was quite reasonable, not just cold.

Mo Qianyi wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, "Yang Chen, you reek of smoke and alcohol. Stay away, don't stink up Ruoxi!"

"Oh," Yang Chen smiled awkwardly and took a few steps back, "I had a few drinks with some new friends. I forgot I hadn't showered yet."

"Hmph! Ruoxi is sick in bed, and you, her husband, are out drinking and carousing. Don't you feel ashamed..." Mo Qianyi sneered disdainfully.

"Hey, my real wife hasn't said a word, so why are you making a fuss? The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is," Yang Chen said impatiently.

"What did you say!?" Mo Qianyi stood up, her almond eyes wide with anger, her ample chest heaving, and her beautiful face flushed, "You dare call me a eunuch? You're the eunuch!"

"Am I a eunuch? Why don't you try and see?" Yang Chen said with a wicked smile.

"You're shameless!"

"Alright..." Lin Ruoxi finally spoke, frowning and looking back and forth between Yang Chen and Mo Qianyi, rubbing her forehead with a headache, "Can you two stop arguing in the hospital? It's late, can't you be quiet?"

Mo Qianyi pouted and held Lin Ruoxi's hand, "Ruoxi, look at your husband. Who does he think he is? You're sick, and he doesn't come to take care of you, but instead has the leisure to go out and flirt and drink."

Lin Ruoxi was silent for a moment, then looked up at Yang Chen, "Where did you go drinking?"

Yang Chen, feeling somewhat annoyed, answered lazily, "Tianfu Kingdom, with several women. What, is the wife going to manage me?"

"Oh, I see," Lin Ruoxi nodded, then as if nothing had happened, she reached into the plastic bag and took out a book, starting to read.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Yang Chen sighed, shook his head, and walked out of the ward.

Only Mo Qianyi was left sitting there, looking at the door and then at Lin Ruoxi, who was focused on her book, her mouth agape, speechless for a long time. Finally, she managed to say, "You two are both strange!"
