Chapter 161: Foolish

On the second floor of the villa, the partially open door was pushed open. Wang Mama, dressed in off-white pajamas, emerged slowly. Seeing Lin Ruoxi sitting downstairs crying alone, Wang Mama sighed and descended the stairs.

Approaching Lin Ruoxi, Wang Mama squatted down and patted her trembling shoulders, moistened by tears. "Miss, stop crying. Too much crying is bad for your health."

"Wang Mama," Lin Ruoxi looked up with teary eyes and threw herself into Wang Mama's arms, choked up. "Wang Mama, Yang Chen said he doesn't want me and will find other women."

Wang Mama patted Lin Ruoxi's back and spoke warmly, "Miss, Master was just speaking in anger. If he really didn't want you, why would he say so much to you? He loves you deeply, that's why he's so concerned."

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi appeared like a little girl confiding in an elder, devoid of her usual demeanor as the CEO of a big company, making her seem fragile and lovable.

"I know I haven't done well enough, but why is he so harsh? I was really scared just now. His smile was so cold, my heart hurts so much..."

"Miss, I heard everything from upstairs. You shouldn't treat Master as if you're dealing with someone in the company," Wang Mama gently stroked Lin Ruoxi's soft long hair, wiping away the tears from her eyes. "Wang Mama may not have read many books, but in my opinion, a woman goes through many stages in life—falling in love, getting married, being a wife, having children, being a mother. When she grows old, only then will she feel fulfilled and satisfied with her life. No matter how successful you are in your career, as a woman, there won't be much to reminisce about in the end."

"I also want to live a good life, but he's always so unambitious. I get anxious and can't help but get angry," Lin Ruoxi murmured.

"Miss, if Master isn't ambitious, forcing him won't work. What matters is that he cares about you. Look at this time, for Mr. Zeng's matter, did Master not voluntarily cancel his business trip? This shows that he cares about you and feels jealous of Mr. Zeng," Wang Mama said with a smile. "Since this can make Master actively engage in work, there will be other ways to improve this issue in the future. Being too impatient will only make Master resentful."

Lin Ruoxi agreed reluctantly, but then said with melancholy, "But he has unclear relationships with so many women. Just in the company, I heard he has unusual relationships with three women in the PR department, not to mention outside. How can I trust him?"

Wang Mama sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Miss, don't blame me for being nosy. Since you got married, Master hasn't even entered your bedroom. Let alone the intimate matters between husband and wife on a regular basis. Master is a normal man. He married a wife but can't touch her. Isn't that asking for trouble, Miss? No matter how beautiful a clock is, if it can't tick, no matter how gorgeous clothes are, if they can't be worn, no matter how luxurious a car is, if it can't be driven, it's all meaningless. You can't expect Master to treat you like an antique, waiting for the day it appreciates and can be sold."

"Calling me an antique to be sold, that's a bit harsh, Wang Mama," Lin Ruoxi retorted with a frown.

Lin Ruoxi blushed and pouted coquettishly.

Wang Mama smiled and gently reached out, cupping Lin Ruoxi's delicate face. "Miss, think about it, throughout Zhonghai, how many girls can compare to you? If you give Master a little sweetness, he won't have the heart to focus on other women. By then, everything will be easy to handle. Even if Miss doesn't resort to those little tricks, Master might still work hard."

"Really?" Lin Ruoxi felt a bit tempted.

"Of course," Wang Mama said confidently. "These are all experiences of a seasoned person like Wang Mama. Men, in fact, have simple thoughts. Who doesn't want to perform well in front of someone they like? The only fear is that they perform well, but the woman doesn't reciprocate. What Miss needs to do now is to let Master understand that you also care about him, giving him the motivation to continue striving."

Lin Ruoxi blinked in confusion. "Wang Mama, I thought you've never been married. How do you know all this?"

Wang Mama was momentarily at a loss for words, stuttered a bit, blushing. "I've never been married, but when I was young, I had experiences between men and women. Miss, trust me. From childhood to now, when did Wang Mama ever deceive you?"

Lin Ruoxi nodded reassuringly, then hesitantly asked, "But he seems really angry now. What if he doesn't come back?"

"Then go find him," Wang Mama said helplessly, patting Lin Ruoxi's head. "Miss, you can't always wait for Master to initiate contact with you. Between husband and wife, there should be mutual affection. As the ancients said, mutual support is the key."

Lin Ruoxi pouted with some difficulty. Having to go invite him back home herself?

Wang Mama said with emphasis, "Miss, in this world, there's nothing more sacred, beautiful, and sincere than the bond between spouses. Parents will one day leave, relatives may not always be together, and your children will grow up and fly to their own sky. Only loving spouses will grow old together, walking hand in hand until the end. So, when you've found a partner, cherish them."

Lin Ruoxi listened quietly, not saying a word.

Yang Chen, who had left the villa, wasn't as fiery as Lin Ruoxi imagined. As soon as he stepped out, he let out a long sigh. He was also scared by his own words just now. After all, when he first met Lin Ruoxi, he had witnessed her fierceness. This was the woman who could resolutely jump off a building. If he said a few words to upset his wife, he would be in big trouble.

But there was no other way. In Yang Chen's view, Lin Ruoxi was very intelligent in most aspects, but her emotional intelligence was weak and pitiful. She needed to be properly trained. Otherwise, she would just be an ornament of high intelligence with emptiness inside.

Of course, now that he had left, even if it was for the sake of face, Yang Chen couldn't return so quickly. So, he drove off again, leaving Longjing Manor and heading straight to the Rose Bar where Qiangwei was.

Qiangwei's schedule was very erratic. When Yang Chen arrived at her fragrant boudoir, this beautiful woman who had become the underground queen of the West District after solving the Western Union Society's matter, was lying alone in bed watching a movie.

She was wearing a semi-transparent black chiffon nightdress with intricate lace patterns, enveloping her graceful figure. On the leather mattress, Qiangwei appeared lazy and seductive.

Seeing Yang Chen suddenly enter, undoubtedly gave Qiangwei a surprise. She leaped off the bed and pounced into Yang Chen's arms.

Yang Chen smelled the fragrance of shower gel and kissed Qiangwei's tender neck. "Everything okay during my absence?"

"Why such a sudden question? Even when you were in Zhonghai before, you rarely asked about me for a whole week," Qiangwei said softly.

Yang Chen felt a bit embarrassed. This woman's emotional intelligence was so high! With just a simple sentence, he felt indebted to her and couldn't help but cherish her even more.

Deciding to discuss other matters after finishing the main business, Yang Chen embraced Qiangwei. After a few hundred rounds of intense passion on the bed, Qiangwei's thin chiffon nightdress had long been thrown somewhere unknown.

Covered in a rosy hue, pressed against Yang Chen's chest, she lay there panting softly with half-closed eyes.

Although Yang Chen had Mo Qianni accompanying him these days, their relationship was still in the stage of development. Moreover, it was a period of business trip. He couldn't just casually push her down. Mo Qianni also couldn't easily surpass the obstacle of Lin Ruoxi. So, he had been suppressing his masculine fire.

Finally getting a release with Qiangwei, Yang Chen leaned comfortably against the headboard, stroking Qiangwei's soft hair with one hand, feeling a sense of drowsiness.

Qiangwei had been tossed quite a bit, but her interest was still high. Curiously, she asked Yang Chen why he suddenly thought of coming to see her upon his return.

Yang Chen didn't hide it and briefly mentioned what happened with the ice queen CEO at home.

After listening, Qiangwei couldn't help but chuckle and turned to the side.

"I thought women like her are cunning and especially mature. Hearing you say that, how does she seem like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl?" Qiangwei seemed to have made a new discovery.

Yang Chen rolled his eyes. "It's not that exaggerated, but she's different from you. Although both of you have been very independent since childhood, your living environment has made you particularly knowledgeable about human affairs. Ruoxi's living environment has made her a mess in family and emotional matters, apart from learning to manage the company and compete with others in the business world."

"Such women are generally very pure and adorable. In other words, because of their ignorance and innocence, they make men feel protective," Qiangwei said playfully.

Yang Chen frowned. "It's not that simple, but she does have a bit of a silly side."

Qiangwei swung her legs, her heels just touching the round flesh exposed to the air, causing her buttocks to sway gently. Supporting her chin with her hands, she said, "Hearing you talk about her like this, I really want to meet her."

"It's not something fun," Yang Chen said, sneering.

"What's the big deal? Anyway, I'm not going to threaten her position. I just want to meet this pure and lovely main wife," Qiangwei said.

While the two were talking, looking at Qiangwei's perfectly curved figure, Yang Chen's reaction was aroused again.

Qiangwei realized that something was off. Unable to endure more rain and dew, her beautiful eyes turned, immediately thinking of diverting Yang Chen's attention. She said, "Husband, someone came here looking for you during your absence."
