My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

It had been a long time since he went to Zhen Xiu's stall to look at this girl. When he thought of how Zhen Xiu had given him her beloved crescent pendant that night, Yang Chen would be filled with pity for this girl.    

    

When they arrived at the small, dark street, there seemed to be a few more booths. After all, the weather was cold. Eating midnight snacks and especially hot and spicy foods would sell very well.    

    

Yang Chen walked to the corner of the street and saw Zhen Xiu, who was wearing a slightly old brown coat and a white and purple woolen hat, busying herself beside her cart.    

    

There were four or five customers sitting in front of her cart, drinking white wine, eating Fried Rice Cake and Spicy Hot Spice.    

    

Yang Chen was in no hurry to go over. After waiting for a while, the customers all left. Then, Yang Chen slowly walked to the stall.    

    

Zhen Xiu was wiping the table at the front desk. When she looked up, she saw it was Yang Chen. Joy showed on her face, "Brother Yang, it's so late. How come you're free to come?"    

    

"I can see our pretty little sister Zhen Xiu at night." Yang Chen said with a smile as he lazily sat on the chair in front of the stage.    

    

Zhen Xiu's fair cheeks blushed. "Are you bullying me while Sister Ruoxi isn't around?"    

    

"No, I just want to find something to eat. I can't offend you." As Yang Chen said this, he picked up a bunch of pills and took a bite. It was very hot and very elastic.    

    

Zhen Xiu's face straightened as she humphed, "A string of two yuan? Pay up."    

    

Yang Chen suddenly coughed and said with a wry smile: "So we still have to pay even after we get to know each other."    

    

"Don't you know I'm a money grubber?" Zhen Xiu pouted and said, "Let's take advantage of the cold weather to earn more money. We can pay the rent and the water and electricity bills, but I don't have the money to treat you to a meal."    

    

Yang Chen picked up another string of kelp skewers and said as he ate, "Then what do we do when the weather is hot? You can't possibly sell Ma La Bian, right?"    

    

Zhen Xiu smiled nonchalantly. "When it's hot, I'll think of a way to sell cold drinks and ice pops."    

    

"Zhen Xiu." Yang Chen swallowed the food in his mouth and said earnestly, "You're still very young. You're only 18 years old, yet you're still in high school or just getting into university. You're a smart kid. Why don't you try to go to college on your own? If you are willing, Brother Yang can lend you a sum of money so that you can review properly and go to take the college entrance exam next year. "When you have a future, you can return it to me."    

    

Zhen Xiu listened quietly, holding the shovel and turning the Korean Fried Rice Cake on the iron plate. She didn't answer.    

    

Yang Chen frowned: "Don't tell me you are afraid of studying because you can endure so much hardships. If you think it's hard to learn, then I'll be your home tutor. Science and foreign languages are not a problem at all. Even if you only have a basic level, as long as you are willing to work hard, half a year will be enough. "    

    

Zhen Xiu finally stopped what she was doing and raised her head. A sour smile appeared on her pretty face that seemed slightly exhausted under the cold wind.    

    

"Brother Yang, thank you, but that would be too much trouble for you. I'm not made for studying. I think it's better to do my little business." Zhen Xiu ruffled her hair. "In any case, many girls my age are living like this. We have to support ourselves. Although we're a little tired, we can live quite easily."    

    

Yang Chen said seriously, "I don't care about others, I only believe that since you and I met on the bus that day and I was sitting in front of you today, I can't just ignore you. Your youth is precious, when you get old and can't walk anymore, and your brain is no longer clear, do you still want to push the cart and sell fried rice cakes by yourself?"    

    

Zhen Xiu's face turned pale as she bit her lower lip, not saying a word.    

    

At that moment, a familiar female voice sounded from his side.    

    

"Zhen Xiu, listen to him. He's right. You can't keep walking like this."    

    

Yang Chen and Zhen Xiu turned their heads at the same time, and they saw a tall and graceful young woman wearing a brown leather trench coat. Her short hair was messy in the night wind, and her exquisite oval face revealed a bit of coldness. She was actually Cai Yan.    

    

"Sister Cai, you're here …" Zhen Xiu smiled shyly, seemingly not surprised by Cai Yan's arrival.    

    

Cai Yan glanced at Yang Chen with her watery eyes. There were some complicated emotions mixed within them. She then said to Zhen Xiu with a gentle smile, "Yeah, I heard you talking to this person. Although he normally spoke nonsense like he was brainless, the suggestion of having you take the college entrance exam was not wrong. If you are willing, I can help you contact the new high school class. I remember that you have a middle school education, but your foundation is not bad and you are intelligent. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be admitted to university. "    

    

Yang Chen was slightly surprised as he looked at Cai Yan: "It seems like you are very familiar with Zhen Xiu?"    

    

"What? Only you and Zhen Xiu are allowed to call each other siblings? Don't you allow me to treat Zhen Xiu as my younger sister?" Cai Yan said in dissatisfaction.    

    

Yang Chen Shan waved his hand with a smile, "No, I'm just a little surprised. You're so busy at work, do you have the time to come here and chat with Zhen Xiu?"    

    

Zhen Xiu said, "Brother Yang, Sister Cai treats me very well. The last time you asked her to take care of me, she came to my place two or three times a week and asked if anyone had bullied me. And she used to tell me stories about her catching bad people, which was interesting. "    

    

Yang Chen sighed, "Luckily Miss Cai Yan was a girl. If you were a man, many girls would have been tricked by you. After a while, Zhen Xiu praised you like her own sister."    

    

"Do you think that I don't know anything other than work, that I want to solve a crime, arrest someone, and so on?" Cai Yan said through gritted teeth.    

    

Yang Chen actually had this thought in his heart. After all, the few times he met Cai Yan, they always fought with each other, and this woman even came knocking to give him pressure.    

    

However, he was very surprised when he thought about how often Cai Yan would take care of Zhen Xiu just because of a single word of advice from her. Furthermore, their relationship had even become intimate.    

    

Of course, Yang Chen didn't think that Cai Yan was just putting on a show. He also didn't think that Cai Yan had so much free time. The only reason she had was because he had asked her to take care of Zhen Xiu.    

    

Thinking about this, Yang Chen said sincerely, "Thank you. I used to have some prejudice against you, but now it seems that you're actually a good person. Ruoxi thinks you're a good friend, so it seems that it's reasonable."    

    

"Brother Yang, why do you think that? Sister Cai is a very good person." Zhen Xiu said unhappily.    

    

Cai Yan blushed slightly when she heard Yang Chen say that she was good, but quickly retracted her words. "It's good that you know you're wrong. I'm a magnanimous person, so I won't fuss over nothing with you."    

    

Yang Chen smiled and said to Zhen Xiu, "Since your Sister Cai wants you to take the exam, just listen to Brother Yang."    

    

Zhen Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yang, can you let me think about it more carefully? I will answer you in two days."    

    

"Of course." Yang Chen smiled and said, "There's one more thing, you promised me in front of you, Sister Ruoxi. Do you still remember?"    

    

Zhen Xiu replied obediently, "I remember, Brother Yang said he will take me back to the orphanage."    

    

"How about the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is Christmas, you can go back and buy a bunch of small gifts for the dean and the children there. If you don't have any money, I'll help you pay them. Otherwise I know you wouldn't accept it. " Yang Chen said.    

    

Zhen Xiu pouted. "Then you have to let me choose a present."    

    

"Of course you can. I'll pick you up here in the morning at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow, then we'll go buy presents and go to the orphanage." Yang Chen said.    

    

Zhen Xiu nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Yang."    

    

When Cai Yan heard this, she suddenly asked, "Are you going with Zhen Xiu? Is Ruoxi not going?" Cai Yan had heard Zhen Xiu talk about Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi coming to see her, so she wasn't surprised.    

    

"She usually goes enough. I'll bring Zhen Xiu." After Yang Chen said this, he touched Zhen Xiu's head, which made Zhen Xiu pout in annoyance. "The day after tomorrow, remember not to sleep late. Otherwise, I'll spank your butt."    

    

"I'm not going to sleep late." Zhen Xiu said angrily.    

    

Seeing that Yang Chen was about to leave, a struggle flashed across Cai Yan's eyes. She said, "Wait a moment, I have something to ask of you."    

    

Yang Chen turned around: "What?"    

    

"The last time I went to your house, I left a white leather bag on your sofa. Can you bring it out tomorrow to return to me?" Cai Yan asked.    

    

Only then did Yang Chen remember that Cai Yan had left her bag at home when she came to talk to Lin Ruoxi about Gao Guoxiong, the case of that Mr. Gao. Lin Ruoxi had left it untouched when she looked through it and found nothing important.    

    

Yang Chen felt that there was no reason to reject Cai Yan's small request. After all, Lin Ruoxi was more busy than him, so he nodded and said, "No problem. Call me tomorrow when you have time. I'll take it out with me."    

    

Cai Yan said, "Thank you." A trace of joy flashed across her eyes as she smiled and said goodbye to Yang Chen. Her gaze followed Yang Chen's leaving figure until he disappeared around the corner.    

    

Zhen Xiu saw everything, looked at Yang Chen, then looked at Cai Yan, who was lost in her thoughts, and sighed quietly.
