My Wife is a Beautiful CEO - Chapter 728

Chapter 728

Warm and Inviting

Yang Chen watched as Lin Ruoxi hesitated then assumed that she was just embarrassed . He laughed a little at her inner struggle . “There’s no need to think so hard . It’s just a simple yes-or-no answer . I don't blame your decision . ”

Lin Ruoxi was at a stalemate . She didn’t want Yang Chen to feel like she was avoiding him during this critical time, but she was too shy for any sort of PDA .

Finally, Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth, then silently bent over to place the fruit tray near the flowers . She turned to face Yang Chen, her face turning red .

Yang Chen grew concerned .  A willing person wouldn’t look like this . What’s really going on?

Suddenly, Lin Ruoxi’s eyes welled up with tears .

She was like a flower, so sensitive, but so beautiful .

She looked so vulnerable . Lin Ruoxi gently swayed her shoulders and slender hips, her purple skirt fluttering to the rhythm . She looked every bit like the perfect rich lady she was .

Lin Ruoxi pouted her pink lips, and with a girly tone, she coaxed, “Mmmm… Hubby… I don’t think we should do this outside . ”

Her beautiful voice pierced deep through Yang Chen’s mental fog, waking him up!

Yang Chen’s eyes widened, then he rubbed his face to make sure he wasn’t dreaming .

God! What did he just witness?!

Did Lin Ruoxi just do that?!

As for Lin Ruoxi, she wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow her whole .

What was she thinking? Did she just whine like a schoolgirl in a Korean drama?!

Her face turned as red as an apple as she watched Yang Chen’s expression grow more confused by the second .

“Pfft… Hahahahaha!!!”

Yang Chen puffed up his cheeks in an attempt to hold back his laughter, but he ultimately failed!

He laughed so hard that tears started to fall from his eyes . He rocked back and forth, slapping his leg .

“Ahahahaha! Babe, yo—you’re too funny! Hahahaha even your voice… Ouch! Ahahahaha…”

Yang Chen laughed so hard he almost fell from his chair . Lin Ruoxi’s embarrassment turned into rage . She stomped her foot, but couldn’t muster a courageous face . With a crack in her voice, she protested, “You… No laughing! You don’t get to laugh! Yang Chen! Do you hear me?!”

Yang Chen could barely breathe . He forced himself to stop laughing, then crossed his arms . He cocked an eyebrow, asking, “Where did you learn this move? Was it from the Korean dramas? You should’ve called me ‘oppa’ instead . Wouldn’t that have worked out a little better?”

Lin Ruoxi regretted everything she did, but what was done, was done . She huffed . “Fine, laugh all you want . Take it as compensation for your troubles, there won’t be a second time .

“Now that won’t work . ” Yang Chen shook his head, grabbing Lin Ruoxi’s wrist .

Lin Ruoxi felt Yang Chen’s warm, rough hand grab her wrist . A shiver ran down her spine .

Yang Chen stopped smiling to say, with utmost sincerity, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have laughed . You only did it so I wouldn’t get upset . Then again, you were absolutely adorable . ”

A warm breeze blew across Lin Ruoxi’s cheeks . Her heart lurched at her man’s words .

Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips, her head lowered so she didn’t have to look into his eyes .

Her bashful smile resembled a shy water lotus about to bloom…

The two of them fell silent for a moment . Yang Chen then said, “Let me hug you . If anyone walks past, I will know . I will never put you in an awkward situation, alright?”

Lin Ruoxi didn’t hesitate, only nodding placidly .

Yang Chen pulled her body closer with joy, into his solid embrace .

Since the lounge chair was longer than it was wide, Lin Ruoxi had to lie on his chest . It was perfect .

Lin Ruoxi was a little stiff . She dared not move a single muscle . Although they’ve been intimate many times before, a situation like this was a first . She could smell the sun and her man . Bliss .

Yang Chen placed one hand at the nape of her neck and the other on her hip . He didn’t move them, only gently placing them there .

Under the warm sunlight, both of them looked very much at peace .

Lin Ruoxi expected Yang Chen to do something embarrassing which she had mentally prepared herself for . But after a while, Yang Chen hadn’t moved an inch .

She wasn’t sure if she felt disappointed or relieved . It was an odd feeling for her . She didn’t understand this man .

Lin Ruoxi slowly lifted her head to look at his face, which was so close they almost touched . She realized Yang Chen had fallen asleep .

As she stared at him in silence, the corner of his lips curled upwards . His eyes were still closed as he whispered, “Are you too stunned at your husband’s beauty?”

She rolled her eyes, still not speaking .

Yang Chen’s hand patted her back as if comforting a loved one . His lips still spoke gently, “Ruoxi, I’d always felt married life was pure . Two people who occasionally go shopping, buy groceries, some oil or salt . Sometimes even watching a movie together, or a concert, and it didn’t matter if someone fell asleep halfway through . During holidays, they would roam the world, climbing mountains, go fishing, tour cities . Holding hands, they would visit all the places they had never been .

“The feelings between a husband and wife should be warm and inviting . It could be cool and breezy too, as long as they’re comfortable .

“Just like right now . It’s a sunny day, and there’s the summer breeze . To be able to take a nap with someone I love in my arms, under the sun . We don’t need to do anything intimate . What we have is enough . This is enough . ”

His gentle words floated past Lin Ruoxi’s ears . She blinked, then asked uncertainly, “That’s so simple, are you sure it is enough?”

“Mm,” he added . “To me, it’s not about me needing you to do things for me . Do you think I am that obsessed with your body? Of course, I’m not a teenager who’d just hit puberty, nor am I a virgin who has never touched a woman . But do you really think I crave women that much?

“Since the beginning, I’ve hoped that you would change . Not change the way you treat me, but the way you treat yourself .

“Don’t always work yourself to the bone, and don’t keep all your worries to yourself . Don’t think that it’s alright to sacrifice yourself .

“To me, it doesn’t matter if you’re not passionate like that now, or in the future . I didn’t marry you for your body .

“It matters more to me that when I wake up, I wake up to your smile and a ‘good morning’ . Not the cold routine of just going to work after devouring breakfast . That you would watch TV with my mother after dinner, not hide away in your study . That you would give yourself a vacation with some friends, not working day and night for the entire year .

“I want to know that my wife has a good life after marrying me . Then, as a husband, I wouldn’t have any regrets . ”

Lin Ruoxi listened in surprise . She didn’t notice herself tearing up .

Yang Chen caressed her long hair, took a deep breath, then continued, “Therefore, although I’m happy you want me to be happy, don’t force yourself to do anything you don’t want to . I’m not hard to please . ”

Lin Ruoxi’s heart swelled with love . She pressed her cheek against his chest, muttering, “Oh you are . If not why would you have so many women…”

Yang Chen was already pretending to be deaf . He looked up, then pretended to fall asleep .

Lin Ruoxi didn’t expose him either . She closed her beautiful eyes and slept in her man’s warm embrace .

All their worries dissolved into emptiness .
