Lin Ruoxi jumped up from the sofa in surprise at Yang Chen's sudden appearance. She turned around in a panic and broke free from his grip, staring at him and saying, "Don't touch me!"
"Hey, no need to overreact like that," Yang Chen chuckled and shrugged. "I was just teasing you. If I really wanted to kiss you, who knows if you would dismember me with a chainsaw in the middle of the night."
Lin Ruoxi ignored Yang Chen and turned off the TV with the remote control. She was embarrassed that he had found out her secret love for romantic dramas and glared at him with a red face. "Mrs.Wang told me that you went to pack your things. Don't bring your stinky stuff to my house."
"Don't worry, it's just a few pieces of clothing," Yang Chen pointed to the small package at the staircase. "But what worries me is that I won't be able to run my lamb skewer stall now that I'm living here."
"You want to sell lamb skewers!?" Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Chen as if he were a monster. She couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with selling lamb skewers and sounded so regretful about it.
Yang Chen blinked. "What's wrong? The marriage agreement didn't say I couldn't sell lamb skewers."
"In any case, you are not allowed to sell lamb skewers. From tomorrow on, you must go out and find a clean job, preferably in an office building!" Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth.
Yang Chen scratched his head in frustration. The truth was that he could easily find a job in a top company with the diploma he got by casually drinking tea at Harvard University. But he was not used to sitting in an air-conditioned office. In his opinion, such elegant jobs were far less enjoyable than selling lamb skewers on the street and chatting with street vendors.
"Don't try to make excuses. You must change your job," Lin Ruoxi said firmly.
Seeing the expression on Lin Ruoxi's face, which seemed to say "You're in big trouble if you don't", Yang Chen shivered in fear. He was afraid that his hot-tempered wife would jump off the building again, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go find a job tomorrow."
"Sir? You're here..." Hearing Mrs.Wang call out "Sir," Lin Ruoxi's pretty face instantly paled, and she turned around with a slightly melancholic expression to face a middle-aged man who had just walked in.
This was a mature man in a deep blue shirt with neat hair and a dignified appearance. Only the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a few strands of white hair between his dark hair revealed that he was not young anymore. He bore a resemblance to Lin Ruoxi and was apparently her father.
Lin Kun walked in at this moment, looking very unhappy. He stared sharply at Lin Ruoxi, and then gave a fierce glance to Yang Chen, who was standing nearby.
"Dad..." Lin Ruoxi called out weakly without much surprise at her father's arrival. She seemed indifferent, treating him as a stranger.
"Dad?" Lin Kun sneered, "Haha, do you still see me as your father? You got married to a strange man without even telling me. Do you still see me as your dad?"
Lin Kun roared, shaking the room with his anger. Seeing the situation getting out of hand, even Mrs.Wang was scared out of her wits. She never thought that her young miss and her future husband's marriage was unknown to the master of the house.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes turned red, tears swirling in her eyes, but she held back and revealed her stubbornness, "I said before, I'll make the decision about my marriage myself. So what if he's a stranger? I'm going to marry this man, not that Xu Zhihong!"
"What...is this how you talk to your biological father?" Lin Kun snarled, "Well, I raised you for nothing. Don't forget, I own 30% of the company's shares, and I am the largest shareholder of the company. I am your biological father!"
"Biological father? Hmph, I've only had my mother and grandmother by my side since I was a child. I never see you around. And I don't like Xu Zhihong at all, so you don't have to waste your effort." Lin Ruoxi suddenly lifted her head, biting her lips tightly, choking with tears.
Lin Kun laughed in anger, "You don't like it? So what? You're just the second young master of the Xu family and the future CEO of Donghua Technology. What's wrong with marrying him? Besides, do you really like this wild man?" As he spoke, he pointed his finger towards Yang Chen, who stood silently to the side.
From the moment Lin Kun entered the room to the conversation with his daughter, Yang Chen had a rough idea of what was going on. It seemed that it was this bad-tempered father who forced Lin Ruoxi to marry him. Of course, the fact that they had accidentally slept together was also a major reason for the excitement.
After being repeatedly called a "wild man" by Lin Kun, even if he was made of mud, it was hard not to feel uncomfortable. Yang Chen had no intention of being a "son-in-law." When Lin Kun pointed his finger at him, he frowned and said, "Uncle, I suggest you move your finger away. Otherwise, it could be dangerous."
Lin Kun sneered, "Animal, you're not even worthy to talk to me? Don't think I don't know. I've had people investigate you. You're just a guy who sells lamb skewers in the market. Although I don't know what you did to make my daughter choose to marry you, in my eyes, you're not even worth a pile of shit... Ah! What are you doing!?"
In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant Lin Kun suddenly withdrew his finger in pain, clutching his hand as he fell to the carpet, sweating profusely.
"Yang Chen... you..." Lin Ruoxi watched attentively. Just now, Yang Chen's hand suddenly pinched Lin Kun's finger and quickly withdrew it as if nothing had happened.
Yang Chen calmly smiled at Lin Ruoxi and said, "It's nothing. I don't like it when people point fingers at me and insult me, especially after I warn them that it's dangerous... His finger is broken. It'll probably take ten days to two weeks to heal." In fact, if it had been his former self, he would have crushed this man's head with one palm, not just broken his finger.
Lin Kun gritted his teeth and roared in pain, "You wait! You animal! I'll make sure you don't die a good death! I'll find someone to deal with you... Ah..."
"Dad... please don't say anything... How's your hand?" Although Lin Ruoxi hated her father, blood is thicker than water. Seeing Lin Kun in pain, she finally softened and tried to help him up.
"You little bitch! Don't touch me!" Lin Kun suddenly pushed Lin Ruoxi, sending her falling to the ground.
"Dad! How could you..." Lin Ruoxi's face was pale with grievances. Her own father called her a "little bitch," and Lin Ruoxi felt her vision darken, nearly passing out.
Mrs. Wang, who was standing by, had been in tears for a while, but as a servant, she didn't dare say anything. When she saw Lin Ruoxi crying on the ground, she hurried over to comfort her.
Lin Kun stood up unsteadily and said to the indifferent Yang Chen, "Remember this, you dare to hit me! I'll make sure you don't even know how you died!"
As he watched Lin Kun push Lin Ruoxi to the ground, Yang Chen's heart twisted. Despite how cold and distant this woman was, she was legally his wife. Involuntarily, a violent emotion rose within him.
Yang Chen's face remained extremely calm, with only a slight smirk at the corners of his mouth, revealing a contemptuous curve. "I'll tell you this once, I rarely get into trouble...I don't know what happened between you and my wife, and I don't care to know. But I have a principle, I hate being threatened..."
Before Lin Kun could react, Yang Chen's palm flashed like lightning, slapping him hard across the left cheek.
"Smack!!!"
After a crisp sound, the living room fell silent. Lin Kun, who had just been standing, was knocked unconscious on the ground.
"Master... this..." Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded, and didn't think too much about why Yang Chen's strength was so incredible. "What should we do now? Look at the chaos..."
As for Lin Ruoxi, she had already lost all consciousness, lying lifelessly in Mrs. Wang's arms, indifferent to everything around her.
Yang Chen smiled casually. "Mrs. Wang, take care of Ruoxi. I'll deal with this stupid pig."
After saying that, Yang Chen easily lifted Lin Kun from the ground and walked out of the door as if taking a leisurely stroll. After walking some distance, he arrived at the public trash bin and threw Lin Kun's body inside, then casually put the iron lid on top.
