My Wife is a Beautiful CEO - Chapter 962

Chapter 962: 962

Chapter 962 Thirty

Ron quickly waved, as if to dismiss his words . “Miss Lin, please don’t think that Your Majesty Pluto is using you as a substitute for Seventeen . I might not know him that well but I know he wouldn’t do this much for a lookalike . You might look the same but you are not the same person . ”

Lin Ruoxi cheered up slightly, smiling softly at him .

At this time, the door to the workshop was knocked on .

One of Ron’s assistants opened the door and nodded towards the person outside . “Sir, Miss Lin, Your Majesty Pluto sent me over to relay a message . He’d like to ask if Miss Lin was done with the fitting . He would like to invite her somewhere . ”

Lin Ruoxi was slightly confused whereas Ron seemed to have understood it . “Miss Lin, shall we head out? Let’s not make Your Majesty Pluto wait for too long . We will wrap it up tomorrow . ”

About ten minutes later, Lin Ruoxi followed Ron back to the house .

Yang Chen was talking to others about the Olympics when she returned .

He got up with a smile and asked, “How was it? Did you like the wedding dress?”

Lin Ruoxi was still thinking about Ron’s words when he asked her the question . She nodded while pursing her lips . ”

“Yeah, Master Ron’s design still fascinates me . ”

“Thank you . ” Ron nodded .

Yang Chen let out a breath in relief . He contemplated for a while before saying, “I’m heading to a mountain peak in the southwest area to pay Seventeen a visit . ”

Seventeen?!

Lin Ruoxi’s mind blanked for a second . She trembled and gripped her fist tightly, trying to calm herself down . “What…what do you mean?”

Yang Chen tried to sound normal . “I meant her tombstone . I wasn’t able to find her when she left . So I could only bury her possessions in it . I haven’t paid her a visit for two years so I thought it’s about time . I’m saying goodbye to my past . ”

Lin Ruoxi’s gaze was blurry from tears but she smiled lightly after thinking about it . “Of course you can go, but I have a request . ”

“What is it . ”

“I want to go too . ”

Yang Chen was taken aback by her request . He took a deep breath before nodding . “Alright . ”

The air on the mountain was fresh yet warm, they could feel it clearly as it caressed their skin .

Yang Chen drove a fiery red dune buggy through forest trails and after a ten-minute drive, they finally arrived at the bottom of a cliff .

Looking down from the top, they could see multiple rows of tombstones with steep trails connecting each row .

The grass was neatly trimmed and looked after .

“This is where my old subordinates rest . The higher the stone, the higher their merit . Nevertheless, being able to be buried here means that their achievements were recognized . You might think it sounds funny, but before they died, some of them even asked me if they have killed enough people or if they have bombed enough weapons . For some of them, this was their life long goal…”

Yang Chen was explaining it to Lin Ruoxi but he couldn’t stop himself from being affected by the emotions .

It was mixed with nostalgia and grief . Lin Ruoxi could sense his pain too .

When they first met, Lin Ruoxi could see from his eyes that he had led a rough life .

But the time they had spent together had numbed her sensitivity to that .

Now that she saw the tombstones and his pained gaze, Lin Ruoxi wanted to pull him into her arms and stroked his hair .

Yang Chen stopped the car and they started to walk along the trail .

It was a steep trail that was tough for Lin Ruoxi to walk on .

Especially the rocks which had become slippery after being shaped by nature .

“Ah!”

Lin Ruoxi slipped and almost fell .

Yang Chen quickly grabbed her hand . “Be careful, I’ll hold you . ”

Lin Ruoxi panted and flung his hand away when she saw that he was holding her .

Yang Chen was startled . “Ruoxi, what’s wrong? I’m just worried that you will fall . ”

“Don’t touch me,” Lin Ruoxi said coldly . “I’ll be careful . Don’t touch me or pull me . ”

Yang Chen was exasperated . She wanted to join him yet she was obviously still upset with him, seeing how she wouldn’t let him touch her .

But this wouldn’t stop him from seeing Seventeen .

This was something he had to do .

The wind blew Lin Ruoxi’s dress, her hair brushed past her cheeks as the sun continued to move its way towards the west .

Her training had allowed her to climb to the top without facing too much exhaustion .

There was only one tombstone standing in the middle of the grass-covered mountain top .

It was obvious her standing was incomparable to others .

The black marble stood firmly within the rocks .

Roman numbers were carved into it which stood for thirty .

“This is . …her tombstone?” Lin Ruoxi was sure it was but she still had to ask .

“Yeah . ” Yang Chen nodded . He walked to the front of the tombstone and knelt down in front of it .

“Thirty…is it the sum of thirteen and seventeen?” Lin Ruoxi remembered that his code name used to be thirteen .

Yang Chen nodded in reply .

“Which means, it’s your combination . ” Lin Ruoxi’s voice was trembling .

Yang Chen didn’t dare to look at her . He nodded solemnly and said, “I carved it for her with my fingers . Unfortunately, I didn’t bleed . It would’ve looked better in red”

Lin Ruoxi’s body stiffened after hearing his lame joke . “Do you need me to step away? I’m sure you have a lot of things to say to her . ”

“It doesn’t matter . ” Yang Chen turned around and chuckled . “You can listen if you want . ”

Lin Ruoxi didn’t reply anymore and stood behind silently while staring at the carved number .

Yang Chen reached out and caressed the tombstone . His actions were light and gentle as if afraid of waking her up from her slumber .

“It’s been more than two years since I last visited you? Have you been lonely since? Knowing you, you’d very much like a dagger in my neck right now…” Yang Chen chuckled .

But naturally, he did not get a reply . All he heard was the sound of wind which made the conversation seem more forlorn .

“I went back to China . You said I should see what our home country looks like, so I did . I sold lamb skewers at the market and even rented a shabby house . It wasn’t great but it was something . I met a lot of people who did not kill to live . They led ordinary lives . Oh, I forgot to mention that I work at a company now . I’m sure you can tell that there are a lot of pretty girls there . Don’t judge me, you were the one who turned me into this . Old habits die hard . So much has happened in the two years since you have left . I don’t know how to tell you everything in such a short amount of time . But it’s not like you were a talkative person, I doubt you would be interested in my story . ”

Yang Chen glanced at Lin Ruoxi and smiled . “You must be curious about her right? She’s Lin Ruoxi, the bride at my wedding tomorrow . We’ve been married for over a year now and I thought it was time that you finally met her…”
