My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

Inside Dragon View Garden's villa, Yang Chen sat on the sofa in the hall by himself, watching the pale political news on TV all by himself as he yawned lazily.    

    

He picked up a cup of English style afternoon black tea from the coffee table. It had a dark red luster and steam rising from it. Before he could taste it, the fragrance of the black tea had already assaulted his nostrils.    

    

Yang Chen took a sip of tea. Honestly speaking, he didn't like this kind of cultured way of drinking tea, but he wasn't in the mood to drink tea at the moment. His attention was almost entirely focused on the other side of the kitchen.    

    

In the kitchen, the four women had been talking for more than an hour. They had all kinds of happy laughs. Occasionally, they would laugh out loud. Even Lin Ruoxi, who usually seemed to be cut off from laughter, laughed out loud. What made Yang Chen feel the most complicated was that these four women seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of a man like him.    

    

Why did this meal take nearly two hours!? Usually, Nanny Wang would only need less than an hour to herself!    

    

It was already the third day that they were going to lose time to eat. The main reason was that Guo Xuehua had arrived!    

    

Guo Xuehua's arrival immediately caused the family's conversation to become more lively. As for the reason, it had to be told in detail from three days ago …    

    

When Yang Chen had brought Guo Xuehua home three days ago, Lin Ruoxi, Hui Lin, and Nanny Wang had all been taken aback.    

    

Lin Ruoxi knew that Yang Chen went to see Guo Xuehua, but she didn't expect him to bring her directly to her own house. She still needed to stay for a while!    

    

Lin Ruoxi's face turned red and her heartbeat quickened. Her face was as white as jade. Her face was as red as a peach that was full of juice. The CEO who wouldn't be nervous even in front of thousands of employees, didn't know how to face Guo Xuehua — her mother-in-law!    

    

"Hello, Ms. Guo." For the first time in her life, Lin Ruoxi didn't know how to greet her, but she felt that she had to do her best to act welcoming. This was too much for the ice beauty, she didn't even know what to call Guo Xuehua!    

    

Would she think that she was being impudent and take the initiative to call her "mother"? And it was hard for her to speak. Call her "Miss Guo"? Although Guo Xuehua was indeed very young, she was still a junior! It was as if they were a bit too distant from each other … Lin Ruoxi's head hurt!    

    

Hui Lin didn't need to think too much about it. After all, she had known Guo Xuehua in the past. She could just call her Auntie Guo. Nanny Wang was a few years older than Guo Xuehua, so she wasn't embarrassed. She just called her "Madam Guo" to show her respect.    

    

Guo Xuehua asked who Yang Chen and Nanny Wang were, and then greeted them one by one. When they reached Lin Ruoxi's side, she looked at Yang Chen with some concern, but when she saw that her son didn't seem to have any thoughts, Guo Xuehua turned to Lin Ruoxi and said, "You must be Ruoxi. We've met a few times before, but we've never gotten to know each other properly." She continued, "I didn't expect to be part of a family after making such a huge detour.    

    

Lin Ruoxi immediately became bashful. She understood Guo Xuehua's words very well. She already treated her as her daughter-in-law. That was to say, she did recognize Yang Chen. Moreover, she also intended to accept this daughter-in-law who had suddenly appeared.    

    

Yang Chen was actually in a muddled state. It was hard for him to get used to having his mother around him for the first time since he could remember when he caught her at home. When he was driving home, he had almost taken the wrong road several times! Therefore, he didn't have the time to care how Lin Ruoxi and Guo Xuehua, the fiancée, got along with each other.    

    

On the way home, Yang Chen secretly guided Guo Xuehua through the meridians in her body with the Innate genuine qi. As a result, Guo Xuehua was no longer tired.    

    

Everyone invited Guo Xuehua into the hall and sat down. Nanny Wang soaked a pot of Tie Guanyin and started to chat. Basically, it was also why Yang Chen suddenly had a family, and how Guo Xuehua planned to live here and wait.    

    

To the astonishment of the three women, Guo Xuehua's first sentence was actually a warm and reminiscent smile towards Lin Ruoxi, "Ruoxi, your mother is Xue Zijing, isn't it?"    

    

Lin Ruoxi's delicate body trembled, and her watery eyes widened. Her originally anxious and beautiful face suddenly became stunned, returning to its usual coldness.    

    

"Ms. Guo, how did you know?"    

    

This truly made Lin Ruoxi unable to believe it. Even Nanny Wang, who was familiar with the past affairs of Lin Family, looked at Guo Xuehua in astonishment. She didn't understand how Guo Xuehua knew about Lin Ruoxi's mother.    

    

Lin Ruoxi's mother, Xue Zijing, had practically lived a cold and clear life ever since she had married Lin Kun and Lin Family. She also didn't have much contact with the outside world. Even Xue Zijing's parents, who were from the Xue Family and had migrated overseas, basically did not have contact with each other anymore.    

    

In Lin Ruoxi's high school, Xue Zijing had gone through her silent life due to blood cancer. In fact, perhaps it was because her husband, Lin Kun, was having fun outside and didn't return home often, Xue Zijing's personality was also as cold as if she didn't want to live anymore.    

    

Lin Ruoxi didn't have much interaction with her mother, but many of her cold and aloof temperament were greatly influenced by her mother. Other than these cold and aloof things, there didn't seem to be anything else left for Lin Ruoxi.    

    

In all these years, no one had ever mentioned her mother's name in front of Lin Ruoxi. Even Lin Ruoxi herself, when thinking of the past, mostly only thought of her grandmother, but never the least conspicuous mother.    

    

Guo Xuehua smiled faintly, "There's nothing strange about that. Actually, ever since I first met you, I had the feeling that you were very similar to your mother. I just didn't expect it at the time." She continued: "A while ago, I knew you were the president of the Lin Clan's Yulei International, so I was sure that you were Zijing's daughter, Ruoxi. Your mother and I were actually good sisters that grew up together, we went to school together, and we also went to university together."    

    

Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment. In her mind, she recalled her mother's cold and somewhat blurry figure. With moist eyes, she replied, "Really? My mother has never mentioned this before."    

    

"She was taciturn when she was still alive, and she did not mention you, Madam Guo." Nanny Wang said in a regretful tone.    

    

Guo Xuehua's face looked slightly sad. She sighed and turned to Yang Chen with a smile, "Yang Chen, I also thought it was magical at the beginning. Maybe it was fate. "When I was young, I told Zijing that when we have children, if they are of the same sex, then we will let them be brothers and sisters. If there are differences between males and females, they will get married." She continued, "Originally, because of our uselessness, I thought I would never have the chance to fulfill that promise without you." "But who would have thought, the heavens actually allowed you to get married."    

    

Yang Chen raised his eyes and looked at the desolate Lin Ruoxi. It was as if the woman had fallen into some past situation, so he sighed with emotion, "There's nothing to be surprised about." I used to think I'd never get married and spend my life alone. "    

    

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Lin Ruoxi came back to her senses. She looked at Yang Chen with a complicated expression. Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips, but her cheeks were blushing. It was clear that fate made her feel shy and sweet.    

    

When Hui Lin heard Guo Xuehua's words, her expression became somewhat gloomy. She thought to herself, Brother Yang and her sister are really fated to be together.    

    

Then, Guo Xuehua recalled something as she continued to chat, "Twenty years ago, I married into Yang Family, while Zijing married Ruoxi's father. Since our Yanjing are very far from Zhong Hai and I don't have many opportunities to come here, coupled with Zijing's personality, our relationship has also become a lot weaker. A few years ago, I suddenly heard from other students that Zijing passed away due to illness. I was very sad. "    

    

"Ms. Guo, can you tell me about my mother's past? As far as I can remember, my mother was always sitting alone on the balcony, looking out at the sky. She sat all afternoon without saying anything. " Lin Ruoxi asked tentatively, a little embarrassed. That pitiful look of hers was really pitiful.    

    

Guo Xuehua gave a weird smile and said, "Ruoxi, in terms of relationship, I am sisters with your mother. It's a bit awkward calling me Ms. Guo. In terms of relationship, you and Yang Chen are husband and wife, so you shouldn't call me 'Madam'. But if you can't talk, call me Mama. You can call me Aunt Guo like Hui Lin. I think that's fine too. At worst, I'll just wait for you to slowly accept it before changing your name. "    

    

Nanny Wang hurriedly gave Lin Ruoxi a meaningful glance. Obviously, Nanny Wang hoped that Lin Ruoxi and Guo Xuehua's daughter-in-law relationship would improve more quickly, so calling her 'mother' was the proper word.    

    

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxi seemed relieved of her worries and called out with a smile, "Aunt Guo."    

    

After that, Guo Xuehua told her many stories about Lin Ruoxi's mother, Xue Zijing. There was no lack of interesting stories that made the four girls extremely happy at the same time. Lin Ruoxi also didn't expect that her mother wasn't always lonely.    

    

It had to be said that Guo Xuehua had traveled so far and had opened so many orphanages. Her social skills were excellent, so she could always laugh and chat merrily when she came to her home.    

    

Yang Chen actually felt it was a bit strange, since they were like sisters. Why did she not sweep the tomb to mourn her mother-in-law's death after so many years? Besides, even if she was very busy, she wouldn't have stopped seeing each other for so many years after getting married, right?    

    

However, these questions were secondary, Yang Chen was too lazy to care about them, he just hated them. These women talked about the past, yet they turned cooking to a meeting.    

    

Yang Chen had already seen the noon news from the morning news. If this goes on, the morning news will have to be broadcast again.    

    

"Hey, are you guys ready? I'm hungry!" Yang Chen finally couldn't help but shout.    

    

In the kitchen, Nanny Wang's voice could be heard. "Young Master, don't worry. That's good. We'll be right out."    

    

After a while, the four women came out of the kitchen with a bowl and chopsticks. Guo Xuehua put down a plate of stewed fish, smiled and said to Yang Chen with a frown, "Yang Chen, you're the only man in the house, even if you don't eat, you can still carry a plate. Why do you let Nanny Wang and Ruoxi do all the housework?"    

    

This was what a mother meant when she taught her son. Guo Xuehua had experienced many twists and turns and had clear opinions. Although she was full of guilt towards Yang Chen and wanted to make up for her responsibility as a mother as much as possible, but at the same time, she didn't think that everything had to be obedient to Yang Chen.    

    

She hoped that at the same time she could make up for her mother's responsibilities, Yang Chen would become the more competent family head.    

    

At least, she had been able to see through some of the problems in this house from the time she'd been here for more than three days.    

    

For example, the house, the car, everything here was Lin Ruoxi's property. She, her poor son, was actually a pauper!?    

    

Also, Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi clearly slept separately. Although it wasn't certain if they were husband and wife, but Guo Xuehua knew that they weren't the kind of couple who had sticking feelings for each other. To sleep separately at such a young age, Guo Xuehua thought that there was definitely a problem between them.    

    

Guo Xuehua could easily see that Lin Ruoxi was very dissatisfied with Yang Chen. Yang Chen was lazy, careless, occasionally rough, absurd, and improper. A girl like Lin Ruoxi would definitely not like Lin Ruoxi. Even as a mother, she felt that it was beneath her.    

    

Therefore, before doing work on Lin Ruoxi's side, Guo Xuehua felt that her son should change his disgraceful habit a little. She also hoped that Yang Chen would be able to straighten his man's back in front of Lin Ruoxi.    

    

Although some of these understandings were not accurate, Guo Xuehua still wanted Yang Chen to live a better life.    

    

Yang Chen listened to Guo Xuehua's lesson and rubbed the back of his head. He really didn't have the habit of doing household chores. Ever since he moved into this house, he had been handled neatly by Nanny Wang.    

    

At this moment, listening to Guo Xuehua's teachings, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, there was a peculiar warmth in his heart. It was rare for him to blush and run into the kitchen with a smile, carrying two of the hottest plates out.    

    

Lin Ruoxi didn't expect Yang Chen to listen to her like this. She had always wanted Yang Chen to do this, but she never expected Yang Chen to listen. She cast her gaze towards Guo Xuehua, who happened to be looking at her daughter-in-law. The two women exchanged glances. Guo Xuehua quietly blinked.    

    

Lin Ruoxi quickly lowered her head as if her thoughts had been seen through. She felt embarrassed, but a faint smile still hung on her lips.
