The moment Yang Chen stepped into the backyard, he noticed Lin Ruoxi walking back and forth anxiously. It felt as if she was about to bite on her finger by the next second.
Her face brightened when she saw Yang Chen but she quickly froze when she noticed his bloody appearance.
Yang Chen lifted his sleeve and smelled himself. An awkward smile formed on his lips when he noticed meat fragments on his shirt.
âIâŠI guess itâs kind of disgusting. Donât worry, Iâll shower in another room.â
Lin Ruoxi ran forward and pulled his arm to stop him from leaving.
âWhat are you thinking about? Why would you go to another room? Do you want others to think that Iâm disgusted by you? Weâve been together for so long, Iâm already used to it. Itâs just blood and meat. Follow me in!â
Yang Chenâs heart softened at her words and he followed her into the room.
When they got into the bathroom, Lin Ruoxi pulled Yang Chenâs tattered shirt off and washed her hands before running out to grab him a new set of clothes.
Yang Chen turned on the shower and smirked when Lin Ruoxi walked in and out without noticing his naked body, âEh, when did you change? You were so shy last time that you wouldnât even let me enter your room.â
âWhat?â Lin Ruoxi couldnât react in time as she was busy clearing his dirty clothes.
âNo wonder they say marriage is the tombstone of love. I guess from now on I can only call you my childâs mother, tsk tsk.â Yang Chen joked.
Lin Ruoxi stopped what she was doing and looked up at him with puffed cheeks, âYou suck, I was trying to treat you well and youâre already picking on me. Iâll go sleep with Lanlan then.â\nYang Chen tittered, âRuoxi darling, I was just joking. Donât take it seriously. By the way, whereâs Lanlan?â
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, âYou wouldnât let her go out so she fell asleep in her great-grandfatherâs room. Seriously, sheâs been sleeping a lot ever since she started cultivating with you. Itâs worrying that sheâs able to sleep right after breakfast.â
âSheâs still young. Itâs normal for her to sleep for longer times since cultivation is mentally taxing and her brain has not fully developed.â Yang Chen sighed, âI couldnât sleep at that time, worried that I wouldnât be able to wake up if I do. But to survive, I had to cultivate as much as I couldâŠshe has everything she needs now and she doesnât have to worry about her own life, so sheâs more blessed than I was. Now that I think about it, I had it best when I first came back to China. Iâve been busy for the past yearsâŠI used to do it for myself but now Iâm doing it for the both of youâŠâ
Yang Chen finished cleaning himself while saying these things mindlessly.
Lin Ruoxi listened to him quietly while passing him a towel and new clothes.
Yang Chen got dressed leisurely and sat on the bed.
The moment he sat down, Yang Lie appeared in his head which bugged him a lot.
However, Guo Xuehua would be devastated if he were to kill Yang Lie openly.
Maybe he should find an opportunity to kill him secretlyâŠ
âWhat are you thinking about?â
Lin Ruoxiâs gentle voice broke his train of thoughts.
Yang Chen looked up and smiled at her when he noticed her worried expression, âNothing, I was just thinking, how would old man deal with the aftermath.â
Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips and contemplated for a while before sitting next to Yang Chen, âI know I shouldnât ask about the earlier incident but I only want to hear the truth from you.â\nâWhat?â
âDo we have a lot of enemies now? Are we in danger?â Lin Ruoxiâs eyes widened anxiously.
Yang Chen patted his chest while chuckling, âIâm still around, so donât be afraid.â
âThen promise me this, if anything happens, tell me about it. Iâm not an irrational and foolish woman, you know that. I have a sense of reasoning.â Lin Ruoxi said sternly.
Yang Chen suddenly realised that she looked cute when she was serious. Her lips pouted slightly as she looked at him with sparkly eyes. Yang Chen couldnât stop himself from reaching out to touch her cheek.
However, Yang Chen furrowed his brows when he noticed a hint of red in his right finger. Blood had seeped into his nails so it wasnât cleaned completely.
In fact, he could smell the mixture of body wash and blood on his hand.
His hand felt exceptionally dirty whenever he was reminded of the way he broke someoneâs neck with his bare hands.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face and he retracted his hand while nodding, âI understand, Iâll definitely tell you when the time comes.â
Lin Ruoxi suddenly reached out and pulled his hand towards her cheek.
Yang Chen didnât understand what had happened but his hand was already touching her soft cheek.
âWhy did you put down your hand? I didnât stop you. Do you think Iâm dirty?â Lin Ruoxi pouted.
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, âNo, my hand smells like blood and my nails are still dirty.â
âDid I say anything about it?â Lin Ruoxi questioned him with red eyes.
âUhâŠâ Yang Chen didnât know what to say.
Lin Ruoxi rubbed her cheek against his hand as if to pull him closer to her.
âDo you know that no matter how bloodstained your hands are, no matter how many corpses youâve touched; to me, these are the hands that held mine as we walked past the bustling streets, theyâve blocked bullets for me, theyâve knocked some senses into me, theyâve hugged me to sleep and theyâve hugged my daughterâŠIâll never think that theyâre dirty because these are my husbandâs hands, my loverâs handsâŠâ\nYang Chenâs eyes moistened at her soft words.
To cover up the awkwardness, Yang Chen lowered her head and chuckled, âLin Ruoxi, who gave you the script? Are you in a play?â
âIâm being serious.â Lin Ruoxi said earnestly.
Yang Chen thought she looked so soft. She was everything he needed after a bloody fight, the coldness in him needed consoling from her.
Yang Chen wrapped one arm around her legs and the other arm wound his waist to toss her onto the bed!
Lin Ruoxi gasped when Yang Chen pressed himself against her!
She quickly covered his lips when she realised what he was trying to do, âDonât do it! Itâs still morning and I havenât showered!â
âMy wife doesnât even mind my dirty hands, how can I be bothered by that? Besides, my darling smells the best!â
Yang Chen chuckled and buried his face into her chest, leaving kisses everywhere.
Lin Ruoxi couldnât do anything so she just decided to let him do as he pleased. It just bothered her that she had to change into a new set of clothes after this.
Right at this moment, Yang Chen stopped abruptly and looked at the bedroom door with a weird expression.
Lin Ruoxi was about to ask him whatâs wrong when she heard someone opening the door!
âMommy, mommy! Is daddy back?!â
Lanlan rolled into the room like a round ball. Her chubby cheeks were shaking while she looked for her parents.
She cocked her head in confusion when she noticed them lying on top of each other on the bed.
âDaddy, mommy, what kind of game are you playing?â Lanlan asked.
Lin Ruoxi turned beet red, wishing so badly to crawl under the bed! Thank goodness her clothes were still on or it wouldâve been so embarrassing!\nYang Chen was calm, âDaddy and mommy are exercising.â
âExercising? Lanlan wants to do it too!â Lanlan tried to jump onto the bed.
Yang Chen stopped her immediately, âLanlan, you can only do this exercise when you grow upâŠnow go play with great-grandfather, donât come into the room until weâre out.â
Lanlan wasnât happy about it and she stared at Yang Chen at a pitiful gaze as if condemning Yang Chen for kicking her out.
Yang Chenâs pants were bursting from his erection and he was almost losing his sanity from it!\n
