C56 That's Hard to Do
Xu Zhihong's expression did not change as he smiled meekly and said, "Mr. Yang, you're joking. Ruoxi and I have been friends for many years. When I heard that she was sick, I rushed over."
"Oh …" Yang Chen had a look of understanding on his face. He walked up and gave a weird smile: "Since young master is here to visit, you must have some presents, right?"
Xu Zhihong cursed "shamelessly" in his heart and said, "I only brought some fruits." He pointed at the fruit basket beside the bed, "I know Ruoxi doesn't like to open up, so I just wanted to express my feelings."
Yang Chen walked to the basket and picked up a red apple. He weighed it in his hand and said with disappointment, "It's a real apple."
Xu Zhihong said in doubt, "Of course it's a real apple. What does Mr. Yang mean by this?"
"Heh heh." Yang Chen said with some regret: "I thought a rich man like Young Master Xu would give an apple made of gold. Who would have thought that it would just be an ordinary apple, with no other meaning."
Xu Zhihong felt his lungs expanding. How is this man's brain made of!? Golden apple!?
Difficult to the people! Lowly people! Scoundrel!
"Mr. Yang sure knows how to joke around, hur hur." Xu Zhihong Qiang said with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on the bed, didn't even turn her head to look at the two of them. However, when she saw Xu Zhihong's forced smile, the corner of her mouth slightly twitched.
If it wasn't because of the strong Xu Family and the cooperation in business, Lin Ruoxi even hoped that Xu Zhihong would disappear from this world. After all, if it wasn't for his help, Lin Kun wouldn't have caused so much trouble. He had made her already tired heart, and now she was lying in a hospital bed.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for her to do anything out of line with Xu Zhihong. Therefore, Yang Chen's actions were also something that Lin Ruoxi wanted to see.
Yang Chen obviously wasn't going to let it go that easily. He shook his hand and said, "I know young master Xu's abilities. A golden apple is definitely nothing. It just depends on whether you want to give it to me or not. "Of course, although such a valuable item might not be worth much in Young Master Xu's eyes, it's not good to just give it to strangers, so we, the young husband and wife, do not force the matter. We would be grateful if Young Master Xu could give us a real apple."
Saying that, Yang Chen wiped the apple in his hand with a tissue. He took a bite and said in a satisfied tone: "Not bad, it's very sweet. Young Master Xu is good at picking apples. It seems like it would be nice if you could change jobs one day and become a fruit farmer. "
Xu Zhihong was about to faint from anger. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person! With just a few words from this scoundrel, he had actually become a stingy, miser, snobbish, and … He even became a fruit farmer! He was here to visit a patient! He wasn't here to be scolded!
And, damn sweet apples! How could I have chosen that!
Of course, Xu Zhihong wasn't stupid enough to say, "Someone else bought the apple for me." Doesn't that mean I am not sincere enough?
Realizing that he would go crazy if he stayed any longer, Xu Zhihong said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "I still have a meeting in the afternoon, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll come see you again when I'm free." After saying that, he immediately left the ward.
Nanny Wang, who had been enduring for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, "Young Master, this time you really know how to say. That Young Master Xu Family would probably be angry for several days."
Yang Chen ate the apple and said, "No, if he was really mad at Ruoxi for such a long time, he would have given up on Ruoxi long ago."
"Sigh …" Nanny Wang glanced at Lin Ruoxi, who remained silent as if she wasn't in her room. "I'm going out for a while. Young Master should talk to Young Miss."
After Nanny Wang left, Yang Chen wiped off all the apples in his hand. He sat down on the bed beside Lin Ruoxi and said with a smile, "Good dear Ruoxi, my wife, this apple is not bad. Do you want me to peel it for you?"
Lin Ruoxi was still looking out of the window expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Yang Chen nodded in satisfaction, "This time, I was not stopped from calling you that. You have improved, and you also tacitly agreed to eat an apple. You know to act coquettishly, you have improved a lot. I'll reward you right now, I'll personally peel your apple for you."
Although Lin Ruoxi had witnessed the shamelessness of her contracted husband many times, she still felt that she had underestimated him. She didn't even say a word and became a spoiled child!?
"Can you be more serious?" Lin Ruoxi sighed and turned around, wanting to have a good talk with Yang Chen.
"Seriously, I've always been very serious. What's wrong with a husband peeling apples for his wife?" Yang Chen smiled as he picked up a fruit knife. The shining silver fruit knife spun beautifully on his palm for several weeks, as if it was glued to his palm.
Lin Ruoxi was about to say more, but when she saw Yang Chen's move, she couldn't help but look carefully.
Yang Chen took an apple that looked pretty good and held the fruit knife with his other hand. After a brief pause, the fruit knife quickly began to operate on the skin of the apple.
Yang Chen's hand speed was so fast that even Lin Ruoxi who was so close could not see its trajectory clearly. She could only see the small fruit knife turn into countless light rays and spin around the apple for a while.
It was as if peeling an apple became a work of art, like plastic or wood carvings. Until the very last moment, you wouldn't know what the final result would be.
In less than half a minute, Yang Chen stopped what he was doing and handed the peeled apple to Lin Ruoxi. "Here, this is your husband's reward for your wife."
Lin Ruoxi looked at the peeled apple in front of her eyes and was stunned for a moment. A strange feeling welled up within her heart, and she unconsciously fell for it …
Most of the originally rosy apple had been peeled off, but on the peeled apple, there were still a few thin pieces of apple skin, forming a beautiful red flowery calligraphy — "Wishing my wife good health".
Lin Ruoxi realized that her eyes were a little wet. She immediately controlled her emotions and said, "You only know these unorthodox techniques. What's so boring about it? You can't possibly be so numb when peeling an apple."
"Heh heh." Yang Chen's old face turned red, "Actually, I also feel a little numb, so you better eat it quickly, darling. Should I feed it to you?" As she spoke, she brought the apple to Lin Ruoxi's porcelain lips.
"I'll do it myself." Lin Ruoxi quickly took the apple from Yang Chen's hand. However, when she put it in front of her eyes, she looked at the bright red word "Fruit" on it and paused for a moment. She was reluctant to open her mouth.
Yang Chen pretended to say, "Is it because I can't bear to bite off such a good-looking apple? It's fine. At most, I'll peel another apple for Ruoxi. But what else should I say …"
"Don't let your thoughts run wild." Lin Ruoxi immediately swallowed her saliva. "I was just wondering if you've washed your hands."
Seeing Lin Ruoxi start to nibble on the apple she peeled, Yang Chen stopped teasing her. He felt that the iceberg girl was quite cute as she held the apple in both hands and chewed it silently.
"Thank you." Lin Ruoxi suddenly whispered.
Yang Chen suspected that he heard wrongly, "What?"
"I said, thank you, thank you for everything you did for me." Lin Ruoxi raised her head, her eyes clear as autumn. "I've discovered that I don't hate you as much as I used to."
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "No need for thanks. I'll thank the heavens if you fall for me one day and change from a temporary husband to a proper husband."
Lin Ruoxi didn't get angry at such words. She only pondered for a moment before replying seriously, "That would be very difficult."
"…"
