C181 Let Me Help You Solve the Problem
Yang Chen turned around and saw that Lin Ruoxi had already finished a bucket of popcorn without leaving any grains. He couldn't help but smile and say, "My appetite is bigger than I thought."
Lin Ruoxi knew what he meant, so she unknowingly finished her meal as well, blushing as she explained, "I just wanted to see if you would eat it for fear of wasting it."
"Who said I'm not eating? I'm just giving it to you to eat, I haven't eaten dinner yet." Yang Chen said.
"Shall we go to dinner?" Lin Ruoxi asked, not quite satisfied.
"Eat, what do you want to eat?"
Lin Ruoxi blinked and whispered, "How about cake?"
Yang Chen groaned inside. It was shocking enough that his wife liked eating glutinous rice balls, but she even liked to eat cake like a little girl for dinner!
Seeing that Yang Chen didn't seem to agree, Lin Ruoxi felt that her suggestion that she mustered up her courage would not be accepted. She said in disappointment, "I'll just casually bring it up, you can ask for anything else."
"Let's just eat cake. I remember there's a Starbucks right opposite the cinema. Although it's just the most ordinary chain coffee shop, I don't think you've ever eaten there before."
Lin Ruoxi, who was still a little disappointed a moment ago, had her eyes light up. Suppressing the joy in her heart, she casually nodded.
As one of the most common coffee chain brands in the world, Starbucks was indeed a civilian's choice. However, in the China, it seemed to be used as a high-end item.
Lin Ruoxi, who had studied many of these famous brands, had known about them since she was young. However, due to her status, she had never been to any of them. Therefore, when Yang Chen suggested they go to Starbucks, she nodded her head in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the cinema into the night wind and headed for the Starbucks coffee shop across the street.
Lin Ruoxi was wearing a stylish business suit that she worked in during the day. Her hair was let loose and fluttered in the wind. "The appearance of such a beautiful woman, such a cold and aloof temperament from childhood, attracted a lot of attention.
Lin Ruoxi had been used to this kind of gaze ever since she was young, but Yang Chen, who was beside her, felt a little uncomfortable inside. After all, if others looked at his woman in such a way, he would be like a wild animal protecting his food, and would always feel sad.
But there was no other way. Yang Chen felt that if he went out with Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu, the crowd would like to look at Mo Qianni and Liu Mingyu. They each had their own charms, and were all beauties that suited the tastes of most people.
However, if Lin Ruoxi stood between the two of them, everyone would only pay attention to her. This did not mean that Mo Qianni and the others were not beautiful. However, some people were born with an extraordinary aura.
The neon light on the side of the road and the flashing lights of the lamps lit up the entire Zhonghai City area.
The street was filled with noise and chatter. Lin Ruoxi thought this was different than usual because she was not alone in this small corner. She had someone by her side to accompany her.
Suddenly, as she was crossing the street, Lin Ruoxi felt a burning hand grab her left hand.
It was rough, heavy, hot, and hard, causing Lin Ruoxi's heart to beat even faster.
She turned her head to look at Yang Chen and saw him winking at her.
"Be careful when you cross the road."
"This is a pedestrian crossing." Lin Ruoxi wasn't used to it, but she didn't struggle free.
"You have to hold hands when you date." Yang Chen smiled and said.
Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips and looked down at the road, not saying another word.
Holding hands, Lin Ruoxi walked into the Starbucks and looked around curiously. After all, she had never been there before, and at the counter she asked for a strawberry cake and a hot mocha.
As there were few people around at this time, the cake was quickly served. They took the coffee and cake to a table near the window and sat down. Watching the street outside, they ate slowly.
The coffee shop played the melodious flute playing Canon, the melody was relaxed.
Lin Ruoxi ate her strawberry cake very slowly. After eating it in small bites for a while, she looked around at the layout of the coffee shop and asked Yang Chen, "Do you know how Starbucks was born?"
Yang Chen was just using his spoon to finish the cake, "I don't know, is there anything special about it?"
"I've read the biography of Mr. Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, about a story he told before he founded Starbucks." Lin Ruoxi recounted, "When Mr. Schultz was young, his father lost his job and his family was very poor. To make his father happy, he stole a tin of coffee beans from a shop at Christmas and gave it to his father. His father was very happy at the time, but in the end Mr. Schultz was beaten up because the shop owner came to ask for money. After that, his relationship with his father was very stiff … "
Yang Chen put down his spoon. Seeing the thoughtful expression on Lin Ruoxi's face, he knew that she might be thinking about her family, her crazy father. Thus, he could not help but listen attentively.
"Mr. Schultz swore then that he would have the money to buy the best coffee and prove it to his father. Thus, he continued to study hard and, at his most difficult times, used his rugby skills to get a scholarship to go to university. He walked all the way to a world-famous company and received a senior position with a salary of over $70,000 a month.
After he had succeeded, he bought the best Brazilian coffee beans he could find for his father and told him that it was for the pot of coffee beans he had been given years ago. His father had said, 'You've done so much for such a silly thing,' and Mr. Schultz had been angry, and had since become a stranger to his father, and had even told people directly that his father was dead.
Until his father died, Mr. Schultz refused to come home for business. Until one day, when he was sorting through his father's belongings, he found the coffee can that he had stolen from his father so many years ago. He discovered that his father had always kept the can and had always cherished the memory.
He had regretted it, suffered it, because he had seen a crumpled letter in the can, which said that Shultz's father's greatest dream was to have a cozy café to grind coffee beans for his wife and children. Unfortunately, his incompetence prevented him from fulfilling this wish of his. He couldn't think of any other way to make the children aware of the existence of his father other than to beat them up …
So, Mr. Schultz and his wife created Starbucks together, and they've grown to this day. "
"Thinking of your dad?" Yang Chen asked.
Lin Ruoxi nodded. "I have always hoped that my father would be like Mr. Schultz's father. Although he didn't treat me very well, he loved me very much in his heart. But in the end, hope is not the same as reality. "
Yang Chen knew this was just a warning, so he said softly, "So there's such a story. Looks like you've indeed read all those books you bought."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I'm using that to tear apart a piece of paper to make a wall?"
"Heh heh." Yang Chen smiled, "Don't worry, I will be a capable father in the future. It's still okay to grind the coffee beans for my wife and children."
Lin Ruoxi's face turned slightly red. Although she was hoping for Yang Chen to work hard, she refused to admit it. "Who wants you to go to the trouble. When did I promise to give birth to your child?"
Yang Chen mischievously asked: "Did I say you were the wife and the child was born of you? Maybe after a while when you don't want me anymore, I'll change my wife? You think too much? "
"I told you to spout nonsense! Be careful that I don't splash you! " Lin Ruoxi glared at Yang Chen angrily. She picked up the Warm Moka from the table and stood up, as if she was going to throw a tantrum at Yang Chen!
Although Yang Chen knew that she was only trying to intimidate him, he still hugged his chest and shrank back. "Don't splash my clothes when you get angry!" My clothes are innocent! "
"Rascal, hooligan …" Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth, retrieved her coffee cup, and took a sip herself.
There was a layer of creamy white cream floating on the surface of the cup. As Lin Ruoxi sipped, the cream fell onto her thin, well-defined upper lip.
Yang Chen couldn't help but sigh when he saw that milky white line: "Look." Why do you women like this? Only with women, it's clean. With husbands, you like to put cream on your lips? Still pretending you don't know anything? "
Lin Ruoxi realized there was something on her lips. She wanted to wipe it off, but there was no napkin on the table and she wanted to reach into her bag.
"Stop it, it's so troublesome. I'll help you deal with it." Yang Chen said as he leaned his body closer towards Lin Ruoxi's flawless face.
As their faces got closer and closer to each other, Lin Ruoxi gradually realized what Yang Chen was trying to do. She stared at him with her watery eyes wide open. For a moment, her mind was confused, as if the world had gone blank!
Finally, Yang Chen's lips kissed the top half of Lin Ruoxi's lips, which were covered with cream. It was cold, soft and fragrant.
Like a thunderclap, Lin Ruoxi was stunned.
Even when Yang Chen returned to his seat, Lin Ruoxi still sat there hesitantly, at a loss of what to do.
Yang Chen felt that the woman's look was really cute, "What, I think the tissue paper will consume the raw wood pulp and destroy the environment. Do you want me to use clothes? You bought it for me. I can't bear to use it to wipe it. "
Lin Ruoxi reacted by watching him kiss her. Although she was nominally her husband and it couldn't be considered as taking advantage of her, it was still a kiss after all!
When he had lost his virginity to him, it was only because he was in a daze that the two of them didn't feel anything. But now, they could truly feel each other's auras. The temperature …
Thinking up to here, Lin Ruoxi's cheeks were so tender and beautiful that she could almost squeeze out water. "You're not allowed to do this again in the future. Also, I asked someone else to buy the clothes for you, so I'm too lazy to buy them for you."
"Such a beautiful scene has been ruined by your heartless words. Wouldn't it be fine if we just pretend that you bought it?" Yang Chen smiled helplessly as he lectured.
"So noisy!" Eat! "
"This is cake …"
"Then quickly eat the cake!"
Lin Ruoxi lowered her head, her blushing face unable to fade. She began to eat the cake faster, as if she had a grudge with the cake. But every time she ate, the cake felt extra sweet, as if it was filled with honey.
