Chapter 350
Yang Chen had expected that Lin Ruoxi would remain silent . He couldn’t help but to ridicule himself .
“If you don’t want to say it, I’ll answer it myself . ” Yang Chen pondered for a while . As if he was describing someone totally unrelated to him, he slowly said…
“Unlike you, I haven’t had the privilege of growing up with parents . I have no idea who abandoned me, or left me behind . In short, I haven’t gotten a good upbringing before, let alone know my ancestors or origin . If it wasn’t for the experience that i got which ordinary people may never ever encounter, I would be nobody, like a rat in the drain . On the other hand, you had an impressive grandmother since you were born, which allowed you to be the CEO of a multinational company the moment you started working .
“I don’t look handsome and although I cannot be considered ugly, when I’m standing together with a beauty like you, It’s just like the outer shell of an emerald ore waiting to be stripped off . No one would notice my presence .
“When it comes to my educational background, to be completely honest, I have never attended school before . My certificate from Harvard was forcefully given to me . You may not believe this, but I have never touched that thing since I entered the company . I heard you skipped a grade in school, I don’t even know what that means .
“I believe my ambition is quite insignificant . If eating and waiting for death is counted as an ambition, then I believe mine are slightly better than that, I still want to hug beauties as I eat . Relative to an entrepreneur like you who provides thousands of jobs and helps the economy grow, I’m indeed a scum .
“Now, I’m going to talk about how I treat relationships . I’ll be completely honest with you . During the years I spent abroad, I have done countless despicable things .
“I’d have quite a number of women with me in a day . On the days where I was not in the mood, there’d still be a few women around me .
“After returning to the country, I planned to settle down after looking for a woman i can sincerely live the rest of my life with . But I didn’t know I’d bump into you, together with a few other women whom I find irresistible . I’m overly soft-hearted, and useless at the same time . I really don’t know how to reject them . Although I have tens of thousands of reasons, I still feel that it’s me being excessively greedy at the end of the day .
“I like each and every one of them, so I’m not willing to abandon any of them . In the past six months, I’ve been doing things that other men would despise me for . I have a wife like you around me, but I’m still messing around with other women outside . This is not a psychological problem . I’m not the kind of person who’s so desperate, and fail to resist temptations . It’s merely because I tend to fall for people easily, and I’m contemptible .
“If I have to talk about my other weaknesses, there really are too many of them . I don’t have money, the wages I get are paid by you . I don’t have a car nor a house, both are fulfilled by you . I think about slacking all day . I might have been too busy back then that I’m not willing to do anything serious now . I just wanted to relax and play computer games .
“I have a feeling that you’d look down on me more for saying this . I don’t think about how bad my current lifestyle is . This is how I want to pass time . I won’t scourge other people, but if you want me to get something done occasionally, I’d definitely complete the task perfectly . However, hehe, I’m really too lazy to move around myself…”
As Yang Chen spoke, he paused for a while to get himself together . He continued talking, “I don’t think I need to say what I’m good at . Things like fighting would scare people to death even if they can be considered as strong points . The cigarettes I smoke are very cheap, they’re two bucks per packet . I don’t smoke them often as well . The alcohol I consume is even cheaper, and I’m not addicted to it . Regarding things like gambling, I’m not the slightest bit interested even if I’ll definitely win money . ”
Yang Chen bitterly thought in silence . He couldn’t think of anything else to say at the moment . Forcing a smile, he said, “That’s about it . Having heard them, you must think that I suck . I sometimes think that I’m a damn pile of shit as well . Why do I seem so dead while I’m only a little older than twenty… Every time I see you working so hard, I feel that I’m in a completely different world from yours…”
“Enough!!!”
Lin Ruoxi suddenly stood up with her handbag in hand . Her gaze was fixed on Yang Chen which acted like an icy cold breeze . Her eyes had slightly reddened, while her teeth were tightly clenched, as if she wanted to scoop out his eyes .
Due to immense anger and agitation, her hands were slightly trembling .
“Yang Chen, you talked about just how terrible you are . Are you trying to tell me we belong in different worlds, that it’s a mistake for us to be together?
“You don’t have to explain so much to me . Since you’re aware of just how awful of a man you are, I won’t judge you anymore .
“You’re right . Nothing’s absolute, but there are certain things set in our hearts . We’re not suited for each other . The ones who are supposed to leave should leave . You don’t have to give me a long-winded speech . You know that I’m very busy . I don’t have the time to talk about nonsense with you!”
After Lin Ruoxi finished speaking, she furiously turned around and left the restaurant . The moment she left her seat, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably .
Having gone through various happiness, anxiety, and disappointment, the end result is still the time . Since he wanted to say goodbye from the start, why did he still look for me?!
Lin Ruoxi quickly ran out of the restaurant and arrived at the streets . She tried to hold her tears back, but they didn’t seem to be stopping no matter how many times she wiped her eyes .
Under the night sky, north wind rustled through the streets lit by raindrop-like lights .
The passersby couldn’t help but to turn their gazes to this extremely beautiful woman who was sobbing uncontrollably, but no one would approach her to console her . It was the sense of distance which was pathetic and yet intimidating .
Lin Ruoxi gave up on wiping her tears . Since young, she had almost forgotten how to cry, but after meeting this person, tears would flow down her heart while dripping from her eyes . However, it was still a waste of effort, like scooping the moon out of the water .
However, just as Lin Ruoxi was planning to run away from the place where this person was, to find a secluded corner for her to cry at, Yang Chen suddenly rushed out .
Seeing the back of the figure which was walking away, Yang Chen took a deep breath before suddenly shouting .
“Lin Ruoxi!!! I’m a terrible man as described who lives in a different world from you!!! But someone like me!!! Allowed to like someone like you?!”
…
On the streets, everyone’s ears were occupied by this sudden and weird confession . Time paused at this exact moment .
Lin Ruoxi’s tears wandered in the wind, while her entire body which seemed like it was spellbound, stiffened like a piece of wood . Standing in the middle of the street, she found it hard to even take a step forward .
Lin Ruoxi didn’t turn around . Although the surroundings was noisy, she could listen to the footsteps of the man approaching her . They sounded so vigorous and bold .
Two arms slowly wrapped around Lin Ruoxi’s shoulders from behind, causing her entire upper body to be tightly hugged, as if the two bodies were melting into one .
Lin Ruoxi was still crying . She felt that she had deeply embarrassed herself tonight . But how was she supposed to stop crying?
The fiery warmth and the familiar breath of the man could be felt . They could even feel each other’s surging heartbeat .
At this moment, the world belonged to only the two of them .
A few people around started clapping, while the sounds of whistles could be heard .
Shortly after, the majority of the crowd started clapping . On the street, the round of applause was as loud as one found in a theatre .
“Don’t… don’t hug me anymore… Everyone’s laughing at us…”
“Then tell me if I’m allowed to like you or not…”
“Who would ask someone a question like that…”
“I won’t let go if you refuse to tell me…”
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips while she lowered her head . Her eyes were still watery . Inaudibly, she said, “Yes . ”
“What? I can’t hear you . ”
Lin Ruoxi pouted . “I’ll get angry if you don’t listen to me . ”
Yang Chen smiled helplessly and released her before turning her around . With both his hands, he rubbed her soft face tenderly .
“Got it . How is an old married couple this shy? Let’s go home, Wife,” Yang Chen said before holding Lin Ruoxi’s hand and walking towards the parking area .
“Ah, but you haven’t eaten yet,” Lin Ruoxi hurriedly said .
Yang Chen waved his hand . “I got full from hugging you, I don’t need food anymore . ”
“How about me?”
“I’ll make food for you at home!”
Lin Ruoxi pouted as she held back from smiling . Under the tremendous cheer from the crowd, she quickly walked towards the parking area with Yang Chen .
She held Yang Chen’s hand tightly, as did he . It was the first time that she was reluctant to let go of his hand .
