But before that, Qiangwei needed to buy a small and medium-sized entertainment company. That way she could invest properly.
Yang Chen only cared about tying strings to these matters, he didn't care about the details.
The time of day in winter suddenly decreased. Seeing that the sky was dark and misty, Yang Chen drove back to Dragon View Garden's villa.
The moment he entered, Yang Chen was slightly surprised, because he didn't see the prepared sumptuous meal like usual. The hall was cold and clear without a single person in sight.
Yang Chen closed the door, walked to the second floor and knocked on Nanny Wang's door.
The door opened, and Nanny Wang, wearing a thick coat, with a sickly red face, asked, "Young Master, you're back. What time is it?"
Seeing Nanny Wang's muddle-headed look, Yang Chen knew she must be sick. He asked worriedly, "Nanny Wang, are you alright? Why do you seem to be sweating a lot?"
"Sigh, at an age when you're old, you will always have some minor ailments. Somehow, I must have caught a cold at night. "From this afternoon onwards, I felt like sleeping. I ate some cold and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce my fever, but I still overslept!" Nanny Wang sighed. "Young Master, why don't you call Miss over? Today, let's go out and eat. I really don't have the strength to cook anymore."
"Where's Ruoxi?" Yang Chen asked in bewilderment.
"Miss must be working in the study room. Sigh, I won't call her. How could she remember about dinner?" Nanny Wang sighed, "Young Master can call Miss up, I'll go to sleep first."
"Nanny Wang, I'll bring some back for you after I go out to eat!" Yang Chen said.
"No need, I can't eat anymore. I'll be fine after a night's sleep. I'm sorry, Young Master." Nanny Wang forced a smile as she closed the door.
Yang Chen sighed with emotion. Although Nanny Wang had maintained herself well, she was still in her early fifties. If she really caught a cold, it wouldn't be a small matter.
When he walked to the door of Lin Ruoxi's study, light shone through the crack in the door.
Thinking about it, this woman had been working ever since they got home. She didn't even notice that it was already time for dinner.
After Yang Chen knocked on the door, it took him a while to open it.
Lin Ruoxi wore a pink nightgown in the shape of a long robe with a fluffy belt tied around her slender waist. Her hair was disheveled, and she had been out of breath in the study room for a long time. Her face was completely red, and her watery eyes were slightly hazy as she looked over. She seemed somewhat lovely and attractive.
"Have you eaten?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
"It's time to eat, but there's no food." Yang Chen said.
"What do you mean?" Lin Ruoxi frowned.
After Yang Chen explained the matter of Nanny Wang falling asleep with a cold, Lin Ruoxi's eyes revealed a bit of worry. She immediately wanted to go over and knock on Nanny Wang's bedroom door.
Yang Chen pulled her arm, "Don't disturb Nanny Wang, let's go out for lunch first."
"If you want to go, then go. I'm not hungry." Lin Ruoxi refused directly and at the same time struggled to get away from Yang Chen's grip.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly. That day, he couldn't help but kiss this woman and his attitude wasn't any better, "Even if you still want to get mad at me, don't be upset with yourself. You've been working up to this day since you came back, how can you not be hungry?"
"If you're not hungry, then you're not." Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
"Nanny Wang needs to eat medicine now. We can buy medicine when we go out to eat. Don't you even have the mood to buy medicine for Nanny Wang?" Yang Chen had to find another way to explain it.
Lin Ruoxi struggled a little before finally giving in. "Give me five minutes and I'll change."
Only then did Yang Chen heave a sigh of relief. There was no other way to play hardball with this girl, he would have to do it indirectly if he wanted to play with her.
In less than five minutes, Lin Ruoxi had changed into a casual winter outfit and came down the stairs. She was wearing a mauve, close-fitting sweater, a gray fringed scarf jacket, and light-coloured slacks. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her skin was snow-white, making people dazzled.
Yang Chen asked with a smile, "Isn't it cold to wear this little?"
"Are we going to eat in the open air?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
"Not really." Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi didn't say anything else and went to the door to change into a pair of flat female Nike shoes. Since she had a body size of 1.7 meters, even if she wore flat shoes, Lin Ruoxi's figure was still quite impressive.
When they arrived at the garage, Lin Ruoxi asked Yang Chen, "Where are you going to eat?"
"What do you think?" Yang Chen followed her suggestion.
Lin Ruoxi shook her head blankly. "I'm not that much out there. It's up to you."
"Then I'll drive. I'll take you there." Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. "Don't be too quick."
Yang Chen did not dare to be too quick because their relationship was already in the cold war period. If he angered Lin Ruoxi again, the cold war would turn into a tug of war.
The white BMW drove towards a night market street at the outskirts of the city. Yang Chen didn't plan to go to a high-class restaurant to eat. It wasn't that he insisted on bringing Lin Ruoxi to eat common food, it was just that he didn't like the environment of the high-end restaurants.
Lin Ruoxi stared out of the window at the bustling night market, lost in thought. To her, the people who lived at night stalls were like living in another world.
It wasn't an arrogant attitude, but rather an instinctual feeling for Lin Ruoxi.
Yang Chen parked the car in a rather spacious shared parking lot, surrounded by brightly lit restaurants. The fragrance of food drifted in the air, making people's salivary glands speed up their secretion.
Lin Ruoxi was indeed a little hungry, so she asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Yang Chen pointed at the nearest "Lobster" restaurant, "Have you eaten that before?"
"Little lobster? "What is it?" Lin Ruoxi really didn't know.
"Then I'll take you to eat this today." As Yang Chen spoke, he grabbed Lin Ruoxi's hand and walked towards the shop.
Lin Ruoxi followed him and forcefully shook Yang Chen's hand away, "You can leave if you want to. Why are you holding my hand?"
"I was afraid that you would be taken away by the bad guys, but there are so many people coming and going here. A beautiful woman like you is very dangerous." Yang Chen said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a three year old child." Lin Ruoxi didn't have enough strength, so she didn't struggle free and followed Yang Chen into the store.
There were three empty tables in the restaurant. Yang Chen found a table next to the window and sat down face to face with Lin Ruoxi. After sitting down, a young waitress who ordered came over and asked them what they wanted in Mandarin with a foreign accent.
Yang Chen looked at the menu a few times and ordered two small lobster dishes and a few side dishes. He also ordered a bowl of pickled vegetable soup and told them to hurry up and serve the dishes.
Lin Ruoxi was stunned when she heard the name of the dish that Yang Chen said. She had been secretly learning to cook with Lee Jingjing these days, but she had never heard of the name of the dish that Yang Chen mentioned. Thus, she curiously asked, "Are those dishes delicious?"
"Why should I order if it's not tasty?" Yang Chen said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi stopped talking and looked around the small restaurant. The old wooden tables and chairs, the sewage and garbage everywhere were all made of ceramic tiles. To her, these things were too unappetizing. She really couldn't understand why this guy didn't choose a good place like this.
Not long later, two plates of fiery-red, spicy crayfish were brought up.
When Lin Ruoxi smelled the pungent smell, she looked on in a daze, not knowing what to do. The small lobster was roasted by all kinds of sauces and looked extremely weird. Lin Ruoxi had always sliced the Australian lobster into pieces for her to eat, but she had never seen a whole lobster.
Yang Chen took care of his own business and peeled off the shell of the crayfish. He took out the meat from the crayfish and started to eat happily. Seeing that Lin Ruoxi didn't move at all, he looked at him with a frown and asked, "What's the matter? You don't like crayfish?"
"How should I eat this?"
Yang Chen was stunned, "You see how I'll eat? You can just cook with me, right?"
"Don't you feel dirty by using your hands like that?" Lin Ruoxi found it hard to accept.
"Then how do you think we should eat it? If we don't use our hands, do we use our toes?" Yang Chen said with a helpless smile.
"At least use a pair of plastic gloves. Sterile ones." Lin Ruoxi said.
Yang Chen was amused, "This is not a Star restaurant. Just make do and eat. Don't be too picky. Our CEO Lin can't even peel a lobster, can he?"
Lin Ruoxi was furious. If this fellow had not brought her to this place, how could she not be able to eat?
With a determined heart, Lin Ruoxi grabbed a lobster with her hand and, like Yang Chen, began to peel the shell.
However, the shell of the lobster was not even. A relatively sharp part of the shell pricked Lin Ruoxi's pink and tender fingers like a needle.
Lin Ruoxi hurriedly put down the lobster and grabbed her fingers to take a look. It had actually pierced through the skin and was bleeding profusely!
Lin Ruoxi's fingers were still covered in the chili concoction from the lobster. When the chili concoction came into contact with her wounds, the burning pain almost made her want to cry.
Seeing that, Yang Chen immediately took a few napkins, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What are you in a hurry for? Take your time."
Lin Ruoxi felt wronged. She had been unlucky for several lifetimes, but she had met such a man, so she had to have a good dinner and find a quiet restaurant. After eating, wouldn't she be done for when she returned home?
Her eyes were red, and she was on the verge of tears.
Yang Chen felt a wave of pity, but he found it very interesting. At this moment, Lin Ruoxi looked annoyed yet speechless; her expression was too colorful.
"Forget it, stop peeling it. Go to the bathroom and wash your wounds. Wash the chili oil clean!" Yang Chen said.
Lin Ruoxi quietly stood up, wrapped a napkin around her finger, and silently walked to the small bathroom in the corner.
After about three minutes, Lin Ruoxi washed her hands clean. The wound was small and the blood had been cured.
Walking to the side of the table, Lin Ruoxi, who had an unsightly expression on her face, was surprised to see that her empty plate was filled with a small pile of lobster meat.
The prawn meat, white and tender and without a shell, was glistening in the light from the sauce. It was very alluring.
Seeing that she came back, Yang Chen put a freshly peeled shrimp on Lin Ruoxi's plate, smiled and said, "I was careful not to touch the meat when I peeled it. It should be clean now, so you have to make do with it. If it doesn't taste good, you can give it to me. "You can also eat later when the other dishes are served."
Lin Ruoxi looked at her plate full of prawn meat and the pile of lobster shells in front of Yang Chen. The dissatisfaction she had with Yang Chen just now, and even the layer of estrangement she couldn't get rid of these days, vanished in a flash.
Yang Chen, who didn't feel anything, was a bit troubled and asked: "Why don't you eat it? You really don't want it? The taste is actually quite good. "
"Yang Chen." Lin Ruoxi looked at him with a complicated expression. "Did anyone say before that you were a fool?"
Yang Chen was stunned and shook his head, "No."
"Someone said it now, you fool …"
After Lin Ruoxi said that, she sat down. Under Yang Chen's stupefied gaze, she started to eat the dragon and shrimp meat on the plate heartily.
Yang Chen watched in a daze for a while before he smiled and shook his head.
