wasn’t stupid to the point where he would say “I had someone else buy the apple for me.” Wouldn’t that indicate that he lacked sincerity?
Realizing that he would go crazy if he continued staying, Xu Zhihong smiled with his skin but not his flesh as he said, “I still have a meeting this afternoon, so I’ll not disturb you from recovering. Ruoxi, I will come again to visit when I’m free.” He immediately walked out of the room after he finished speaking.
Wang Ma who had been enduring for a long time finally couldn’t hold back, and with a “Puchi” she laughed out, “Young Master you’re really good at talking, that Xu family’s Young Master would most likely be angry for days.”
Yang Chen munched on the apple while saying, “He won’t, if he really stayed angry for a long time over a matter like this, he would’ve given up on Ruoxi long ago.”
“Sigh……” Wang Ma turned to look at Lin Ruoxi, who was so silent as if she wasn’t in the room, “I’m going out for a while, Young Master should chat with Miss.”
After the thoughtful Wang Ma left, Yang Chen annihilated the apple in his hand, and sat by Lin Ruoxi’s bed. He smiled and said, “My good good wife, Ruoxi, this apple is pretty good, how about I peel one for you?”
Lin Ruoxi remained expressionless as she stared out of the window, as if she didn’t hear anything.
Yang Chen nodded with satisfaction, “This time you didn’t stop me from addressing you this way, there’s improvement. Furthermore, you silently consented that you wanted to eat an apple, and even know how to act like a spoiled child, an even greater improvement. To reward you, I will personally peel an apple for you.”
Although she had already gained knowledge and experienced the ways of this contracted husband many times over the past few days, in the end Lin Ruoxi still felt that she underestimated this fella.
I haven’t even spoken half a sentence, and became a spoiled child!?
“Can’t you speak in a more decent manner?” Lin Ruoxi sighed, and turned her head back. Hoping to speak with Yang Chen properly.
“Decent? I’ve always been decent. What is there indecent about a husband peeling an apple for his wife?” Yang Chen smiled as he took hold of a fruit knife, the shiny fruit knife in his hand consecutively spun in a beautiful 360 degrees, as if it was glued to his palm.
Lin Ruoxi didn’t have the mood to speak anymore, but when she saw Yang Chen reveal this skill, she couldn’t help but curiously watch him carefully.
Yang Chen grabbed an apple which looked good from the outside, and grasped the fruit knife in his other hand. After a brief pause, the fruit knife rapidly peeled the apple’s skin.
Yang Chen’s hand was very fast, so fast that Lin Ruoxi, who was in close proximity couldn’t see his movements clearly. She could only see the small fruit knife turn into countless lights surrounding the apple and circling it for a short period of time.
It was like peeling an apple became a piece of art, just like a clay sculpture or a wood carving, where before the final moment, you wouldn’t know the how the final result would turn out.
In less than 30 seconds, Yang Chen stopped moving his hands, and moved the peeled apple to Lin Ruoxi, “Here, your husband gives his wife a prize.”
Lin Ruoxi looked at the peeled apple in front of her eyes, blankly stared for a moment, and soon felt an indescribable feeling well up in her heart. Unconsciously, she became silly……
At that moment, the originally rosy apple lost most of its skin, but on the peeled apple, were some thin leftover skin, forming a few beautiful red words. —— “Wish Wife Good Health”
Lin Ruoxi noticed her eyes getting moist, and immediately controlled her emotions. She said, “You only know how to do such unorthodox and senseless things, even this apple you peeled is so sappy.”
“Hehe.” Yang Chen’s thick skin blushed, “Actually I also feel it’s a little sappy, so it’s better that you quickly eat it, my good good wife. Do you want me to feed it to you?” With that said he moved the apple towards Lin Ruoxi’s porcelain-like smooth lips.
