Chapter 41 She worked too hard

Even Yuanye, who promised Tangtang to deal with Yang Chen, became tongue-tied and terrified. The two other men who witnessed Yang Chen’s driving skills were also dumbstruck and cowering behind Yuanye, without the guts to take another look at him.


Only Tangtang had a different look in her eyes, as if she had noticed something exciting. The way she looked at Yang Chen totally changed in that moment.


Yang Chen claps his hands, somewhat unsatisfied, and shakes his head, then gives Yuanye a cold smile. 


“Do you still want to stand up for this little girl?”


Originally, Yang Chen thought that when Yuanye witnessed his absolutely overwhelming presence, he would choose to back off and no longer stand up for Tangtang, but Yuanye’s behavior was instead beyond his expectations.


After a short little tremble, Yuanye continued to resolutely stand in front of Tangtang; his tone was no longer as domineering as before, but still just as resolute as he said. 


“I admit your skills are very strong, but don’t think I’ll be afraid of you just because of that; I will definitely protect Tangtang.”


Apparently Tangtang did not expect Yuanye to unswervingly stay and protect her; her eyes show that she was quite touched, but she doesn’t speak any words of gratitude.


Yang Chen saw that and couldn't help but think that this young man was somewhat admirable.


"You are good. I won't do anything to you. You should teach your little girlfriend not to do something dangerous anymore. Otherwise, you might regret it the rest of your life."


Yang Chen said that, then he went toward his car.


“You’re just leaving like that?” 


"Yes, why not? You are all just a bunch of kids. I don't have a plan to deal with you all more than this."


Yuanye stared blankly. He didn't think that Yang Chen would let him go so easily. He just treated them like kids. Normally he would be angry that he treated him like a kid, but this time he actually felt it was true. 


Yang Chen returned to the BMW and then started the car and drove away.


“Such a strange person.” 


Yuanye has a little lingering fear on his handsome face, which is both discontent and reverence.


Yet Tangtang instead has a face of freshness, and with a pair of beautiful pupils full of wit, no one could possibly know what crafty ideas were going about in her mind.


Returning to the villa at Dragon Garden, Wang Ma welcomed him the moment he entered and, with a warm smile,


“Young Master, you’re back. Have you eaten? If you haven’t, I’ll heat up some dishes.”


Yang Chen rubbed his stomach. He didn't have a chance to eat anything all day, so he nodded.


After gulping down two bowls of rice on the western dining table, Yang Chen finally felt full. He faced the satisfied-looking Wang Ma and said,


“The feeling of having someone who cooks at home is so great, especially someone who cooks as well as Wang Ma.”


Wang Ma cleaned up the table while happily saying, 


“It’s good as long as Young Master likes it; compared to what Young Master had done, I could only cook and watch the house.”


“What do you mean?” 


Yang Chen was a little confused.


Hesitating for a moment, Wang Ma's face turned a little bitter. 


“Young Master, today when Master came, if it wasn’t for Young Master, Little Miss would most likely be incredibly angry again today.”


Yang Chen understands in a flash, so it’s just about the father-daughter matter between Lin Kun and Lin Ruoxi.  


“From what I see, Ruoxi is already pretty angry. Being cursed by her father like that, any daughter would get angry.”


Wang Ma shook her head. 


“Young Master has no idea. Little Miss may be angry, but this time cannot compare to the last two times. A few days ago, Master brought Little Miss to a marriage meeting with the Xu family’s Young Master; he even used the old villa to threaten Little Miss. Little Miss was so angry that she ran out to drink. When she returned, her whole body smelled like alcohol. The day before, she didn’t even return home and spent the night out. I’ve watched Little Miss grow up. Our family’s Little Miss has always been very self-disciplined; if not for getting that angry, she definitely wouldn’t get drunk."


Yang Chen then remembered what happened that day. If it weren't for him helping her, Who knew what she would do if she really got r@pe.


“Things are better now,” 


Wang Ma joyfully said. 


“With Young Master here, it will no longer be so easy for Master to bully Little Miss anymore; sure enough, having a man in the house is the only way to live in peace.”


Yang Chen smiled and told her that he would do his best to take care of the house from now on.


“Wang Ma, where’s Ruoxi? Has she eaten?”


Wang Ma sourly smiled and said, 


“Little Miss is upstairs working in the study room. After being disturbed by the matter with Master during the day, only in the evening did she calm down and have the mood to work, saying there’s not enough time left for work; she hasn’t even eaten dinner.”


“This isn't good; one cannot function on an empty stomach; even if she pours all her effort into work, she still has to eat.” 


Yang Chen frowned.


“That’s what I think too, but Little Miss is too stubborn; once she starts working, she doesn’t even allow us to knock on the door and also doesn’t allow us to bring things for her; otherwise, she would get angry.” 


Wang Ma’s expression was both helpless and doting.


Yang Chen ponders for a moment. The future may be a mystery, but at least now she’s still his wife; if she starved, he wouldn't have a mind to be full. He wasn't that shameless. 


“Wang Ma, help me prepare another portion of food; I will send it to Ruoxi.”


“Really? Perhaps if it is you, Young Master, sending it, Little Miss would eat."


As if Wang Ma had been hoping for Yang Chen to say that, she happily rushed to the kitchen.


Soon, Yang Chen carried a tray full of steaming dishes up to the door of Lin Ruoxi’s study on the second floor. 


From the outside, not a sound could be heard from beyond this scarlet door.


Yang Chen raised his hand to knock on the door, but there’s no reaction. On the basis of his extraordinary hearing, it was so silent that Yang Chen felt it was strange.


With a little confusion, Yang Chen pulled open the door to the study and quietly entered.


In the room, a vast array of books greets him, being placed neatly in all directions of this spacious room. A mixed smell of paper and Lin Ruoxi’s body fragrance fills the room. 


Between two artistic pots of bamboo was a big mahogany office table, and atop it was filled with various kinds of documents and books.


The Lin Ruoxi of this moment was surprisingly sitting on a black leather chair, leaning on the office table asleep.


With a peerlessly pretty sleeping face that was missing its usual coldness, her curvy, slender eyebrows, delicate little jade nose, tender-slim red lips—every single part was an attraction. The bright table lamp refracts the head full of wavy black hair’s attractive luster.


Suddenly witnessing her soft and weak side, Yang Chen felt a little regretful. As a woman, she’s under so much pressure, yet she still has to desperately work. It is no wonder her smile has never been revealed, despite being this beautiful. Thinking about that, Yang Chen is unable to avoid feeling pity.


With the meal placed on the table, Yang Chen observed the study. He walks to a clothes hanger, takes a coat off, slowly walks back, then covers Lin Ruoxi’s body with it. He gently places the coat over her, fearing that she will wake up from the noise. 


Done with the coat, Yang Chen turns off the table lamp, bringing the room to complete darkness.


Yang Chen thought about it a little bit, then he began to circulate his Qi and made the room fill with a soft, soothing energy. 


The gentle flow of Qi enveloped the room, creating a peaceful atmosphere that seemed to lull Lin Ruoxi into a deeper sleep. 


Yang Chen hoped that this serene environment would help her rest and recover from the exhaustion she had been experiencing lately. Satisfied with his efforts, he quietly left the room, leaving Lin Ruoxi to rest undisturbed. 


Downstairs, Wang Ma was already busy in the kitchen. Seeing that it was still early for him to go to sleep, Yang Chen turned on the huge LED TV in the living room, sat on the big, comfy sofa, and watched the evening news.


Not long after, a ‘Da Da Da’ sound of footsteps comes from the staircase. Yang Chen turned and saw his wife, Lin Ruoxi, already downstairs. In her hands is the coat he put on her, and she looks at him with a complex expression.
