Chapter 9: You’re Shameless

3660 Words
“Speak then, what is it?” While speaking, Yang Chen put one of his legs on the leather seat, took off his plastic slippers, and scratched on his foot with one hand. With the hot weather it was easy to feel itchy, Yang Chen considered whether it was time to buy some ointment to rub on. Seeing this scene, the words Lin Ruoxi was about to speak froze, subconsciously she covered her cute little nose, frowning she said, “Can you not make such disgusting actions?” Yang Chen did not mind as he laughed, “Hehe, when my leg is itchy I scratch it, it’s a matter of course, what is disgusting about it? Why forcefully endure and torment oneself?”   Lin Ruoxi swore, in her entire life this was her first time seeing such a shameless person. Although she made preliminary preparation, and knew that this person was merely a peddler than sells mutton skewers, but so what? The fact that she lost her virginity to him cannot be changed, as for what comes after, she could only make the best out of her mistake…… “Yang Chen……” “Wait!” Yang Chen once again stopped Lin Ruoxi from speaking. “What now?” Lin Ruoxi was a little angry, on her icy face there was a light blush from the blood rising. Somewhat embarrassed, Yang Chen said, “Miss Lin, you see, you know my name, and even knew I was caught by the police, obviously you have had me investigated. But I don’t even know what your name is, yet you say you want to discuss something with me, isn’t this a little……” With that said, he greedily sized Lin Ruoxi up, and licked his lips. “Lin Ruoxi, the Ruo from ruruo(as if), the Xi from xishui(stream of water)…… Can we discuss now?” Lin Ruoxi suddenly regretted her decision, the man in front of her eyes had an evil face, worlds different from the honest man she thought he was, but when she set her mind on something she never had a change of heart. Therefore, bracing herself, Lin Ruoxi still planned on continuing till the end. “Lin, Ruo, Xi……” As if Yang Chen was pondering while softly calling out a few times, he said, “Not bad, this name suits you well.” “My grandfather was the one who named me, but this isn’t the main point, I need you to do something for me.” Lin Ruoxi felt that her name felt disgusting when called out by this rogue. Yang Chen put on his guard as he looked at Lin Ruoxi, “That……Miss Lin, you can’t possibly want me to reimburse the debt of helping me pay the bail right? I don’t have money, only one rotten life.” Seeing Yang Chen put on a “clearly pitiful” look, Lin Ruoxi felt the corniness, and was lazy to take another look at him, she turned her head away and said, “Marry me.” “What?!” “Marry me……” Lin Ruoxi’s rosy face looked like juice could flow from it, repeating herself, her voice was low like a mosquito. Yang Chen still suspected that he heard wrongly, very carefully he turned his ear forward, and hoarsely asked, “Miss Lin, can you speak clearly, why do I find that I’m hearing things……” “You aren’t hearing things.” It seemed that Lin Ruoxi was determined, and returned to a cold indifferent face as she said, “I said, I want you to marry me! Get married immediately!” After word after word made their way into Yang Chen’s ears, Yang Chen had no choice but to admit he didn’t hear things, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly and say, “Miss Lin, this is too……too sloppy of you isn’t it? You can’t say you want to marry me just because you got on the bed with me once, right? Marriage is something that concerns a person’s entire lifetime, I believe you need to carefully reconsider, do not act on impulse.” This time Yang Chen did not joke with her, and instead sincerely and earnestly spoke to Lin Ruoxi, hoping that she could understand. Yet Lin Ruoxi immediately shook her head, “I’m not a child, I’m clear as to what I’m doing. I’m also not young, it’s about time I married, however there has not been a suitable person to choose…… Of course, don’t think that you’re the suitable person to choose. Due to various reasons, those things yesterday happened……” At this point, Lin Ruoxi’s pretty face involuntarily blushed, then she immediately followed with, “I can tell you clearly, that I’m a very reserved woman. Rather than be forced to marry with a man that I’m unfamiliar with and loathe, why not choose you, at least I gave my first time to you.”   Yang Chen deeply hummed for a moment, then with a cold smile he said, “Miss Lin, I understand what you mean. The marriage you want is only for display, you need someone as a male protagonist that conforms to you. In comparison with the other candidates, I seem to be the easiest to control, right?” Hearing her plan being spoken out, Lin Ruoxi couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy, but she did not deny it as she nodded and said, “Yang Chen, I can guarantee, if you conform to me, 3 years later, at most 3 years, once my career is steady, we will separate. You need not carry any burden or responsibility, moreover, I will give you a large reward, much more than your mutton skewers stall in 10 lifetimes.” “Miss Lin……” Yang Chen’s face looked frosty, as he playfully said, “You don’t seem to fully understand one thing. Although I’m poor, and although I’m a mutton skewers seller, that does not signify that I will be the husband of a woman I have no feelings to for money, even if it’s fake. You can call me a hypocrite, stupid or overestimating myself, but I as a person, don’t have a hot temper but I’m stubborn. I have my principles, in my dictionary, there isn’t a phrase like ‘fake marriage.’” “You……” Lin Ruoxi truly did not expect, that, a stinking man who was so trivial that he couldn’t be more trivial would reject her request, even though it’s merely a fake marriage. Could it be that he doesn’t know, in the entire Zhong Hai City how many handsome and talented men wishes to approach her, yet were all out of consideration!? Yet Yang Chen wasn’t done, he continued and said, “If you really are a reserved woman, unable to accept that your chastity was seized, I sympathize with you, I feel sorry and guilt about this. If you are willing, I will earnestly woo you, until you are able to truly like me, that way, if we get married, I can accept that. As for whether I would really love you with my heart, you need not have any doubts, I believe that any ordinary man can’t reject your charm. However…… You merely want me to be the shield for your career, feign 3 years as your husband, I, Yang Chen is unable to accept that. “Hmph, court me…… What are you going to rely on to court me? Your mutton skewers?” Lin Ruoxi was truly angered, she was unable to make heads or tails of this man’s arrogance. Since young, there hasn’t been a man that had rejected her request, but unexpectedly, today an ant-like man rejected marrying her! Yang Chen seemingly returned to his rogue-style, he made a ‘hehe’ laugh and said, “You see, I’m so handsome, so masculine, the mutton skewers I grill are also delicious, I live a simple and arduous life, with the merits of a traditional good man. More importantly, I treat women very well, if it was my own wife, I would treat her even better……” “Enough!” Lin Ruoxi was afraid that if she continued to listen she would walk off from the anger, “100 million! I’ll buy your 3 years!” “This is not a matter of money……” “2 years 100 million!” Lin Ruoxi lowered her demands, and said while panting with rage. As before, Yang Chen shook his head, “Even if it was 10 billion it won’t do, this is a matter of principle.” “Do you believe that since I can let you get out of the police station, I can let you enter jail for your entire life!?” Lin Ruoxi eyes were red, she felt wronged in her heart as she fiercely spoke. Yang Chen laughed out loud, “Based on what? Could it be that Miss Lin wants to tell the police, that last night I r***d you!? I can clearly remember that Miss Lin demanded for it many times……” “You…… I…… I…… You……” Lin Ruoxi’s spotlessly white teeth bit on her soft and tender lips, tears of feeling wronged and suffering suddenly overflowed from her eyes, “Yang Chen, you’re shameless!”   Chapter 10: A Stain In One’s Life If it were half a year ago, and a woman cried in front of Yang Chen, Yang Chen would have just thought that the enemy’s smoke bomb irritated her eyes, or that this was a performance to make him lower his guard, or even more likely an act to seem lovely and pitiful to entice him…… But today, the pretty woman in front of him had a connection to him, and seemed to be crying due to his words. Involuntarily, Yang Chen felt his a burst of guilt in his heart, although he felt that his words weren’t wrong, but to a modern girl who have had retained her chastity for over 20 years, this truly was somewhat cruel.   “Alright, don’t cry……I’ll apologize to you, won’t that do?” Yang Chen felt fidgety and touched his shirt’s pocket, but when he touched it was empty, only then did he remember he recently attempted to quit smoking and hadn’t bought cigarettes to bring around. Lin Ruoxi’s teary beautiful face could attract unlimited sympathy, but this little girl is also a stubborn person, after crying out two lines of tears, she took out a tissue and wiped them away, then forcefully endured. With a pair of red eyes she stared at Yang Chen and said, “I’m going to ask you one more time, are you going to marry me?” “I say, Miss Lin, in this day and age why is there still the matter of a pretty lady insisting on a man to be her husband? I spoke very clearly, I will not assist you in playing this type of boring game for 3 years.” Yang Chen sighed and stood up, intending to leave. This time Lin Ruoxi did not say anything more, only a trace of misery appeared in her eyes. With a numb expression she stood up, and directly walked towards the balcony of the coffee shop’s 2nd floor. The coffee shop’s balcony was quite spacious, with several large umbrellas to shield from the sun on top of the refined tables, on the balcony various kinds of bonsai plants were placed, giving a fresh and clean feeling. Yang Chen saw this scene, and his pupils shrunk, he sucked in a cool breath and said, “Miss Lin, it can’t possibly be that just because I’m not willing to marry you, you are going to balcony to jump down from it, right? As if Lin Ruoxi didn’t hear a thing, without uttering a word she continued walking to the balcony. Just like this, Lin Ruoxi slowly got to the edge of the balcony, casually pulled a chair over, stepped on it and got closer to the guard rail. This time Yang Chen was worried, this girl can’t possibly have such a fierce temper, right? She had to know that if she jumped off the balcony, and fell onto the hard stone surface, even if she doesn’t die she will be crippled…… However, Lin Ruoxi’s actions immediately let Yang Chen know, how terrifying her determination was…… Apathetically, Lin Ruoxi turned her head back to take a look at Yang Chen, her eyes brimmed with resolve, hate, pain and sadness, as if her entire soul was terribly tormented from staying in that absolutely beautiful body, and wanted to attempt to break free from it…… The 2 pairs of eyes interlocked. Yang Chen felt his heart twitch, he was too familiar with this type of expression, this expression was also too similar to the image deep in his mind, which he had no way of erasing. It was that image, half a year ago, which made him break free from the bloody shackles he was held back by for more than 10 years, and made him return to his country of birth…… But today, from Lin Ruoxi’s eyes, Yang Chen once again recalled too many things that he had tried to forget yet failed to forget. In this moment, Yang Chen was lost. Lin Ruoxi looked Yang Chen standing there dumbstruck. She didn’t want to show the suffering in her heart…… Even if she jumped off, that man would remain unconcerned. Once again thinking of the pain of losing her virginity to him, and the pressure and disputes in her personal life, work life and home, Lin Ruoxi felt that she was truly about to crumble…… What meaning is there in continuing this life? Death can end all of my troubles…… Right at this time, the young waiter who had the coffee prepared was carrying a tray up the stairs, and the first thing he saw, was the image of Lin Ruoxi about to jump off. “Lin…… Miss Lin! What are you doing? It’s dangerous!” Just as the male waiter spoke, a figure flashed past his eyes, bringing about an after image, so fast that it was like a movie’s special effects! At the instant Lin Ruoxi held back her tears and was about to jump off the building, a pair of strong yet forceful hands suddenly wrapped around her delicate waist, stopping her jumping motion. All of these happened in a flash, the mail waiter who stood at the head of the stairs simply wasn’t able to see what actually happened clearly, all he saw was on the balcony, the man with crude clothes was hugging the beauty’s waist. The two were silent as they stood quietly on the balcony motionlessly for a long time…… Sunlight scattered onto the green plants on the balcony, and onto the young man and woman, with an atmosphere that leads one to feel harmony and have ambiguous fantasies. At the same time the waiter sighed a breath of relief, he inwardly envied this man for being able to have such a relationship with a great beauty like Miss Lin. After silently placing the coffee down, he retreated down the stairs. Lin Ruoxi felt herself move from hell to heaven in a flash, she did not know how Yang Chen accomplished moving to her back so quickly, she also didn’t have the mood to think about such a thing. She could only feel a pair of scorching hot arms tightly embracing her waist, so tight that she felt a little pain, while the man’s heavy breath slowly blew onto her sensitive shoulder. “Release me, even if you stop me for now, I will still die later on.” Lin Ruoxi’s face was flushed, but she still spoke stubbornly. Yang Chen sucked in a deep breath, as if he was enjoying Lin Ruoxi’s body fragrance. Her body had a faint smell of jasmine, as someone who has smelt too many top quality perfumes, Yang Chen felt that this body fragrance beats everything else. “Lin Ruoxi, I lost, I’ll marry you.” Yang Chen softly sighed and said. Lin Ruoxi’s delicate body jolted, then she turned silent. Have I won? But why is it that I don’t feel the slightest bit happy? That’s right, this is merely a man to be used as a shield, he even seized my chastity when my consciousness was unclear, I hate him, how can I possibly love him? If I don’t love him, why would I be happy about getting married to him?   At the same time, many passersby on the square saw the man and woman on the balcony, many of them with keen interest pointed them out. “Hubby, what do you think they’re doing?” Some girl asked with her arm wrapped around a man’s arm. “Isn’t that obvious? They’re copying Titanic, it looks really romantic……” On the balcony, Lin Ruoxi couldn’t stand those hot gazes, and finally realized that the two’s motions looked incredibly weird. She jumped off the chair in a panic, broke free from Yang Chen’s embrace, and returned into the coffee shop. When the two sat back down, the matter had a conclusion, but the two still remained silent, minding their own business with the coffee. After a long time, Lin Ruoxi put down her coffee cup, took out 2 pieces of paper from her small LV bag, and a pen, then handed them one of them over to Yang Chen. “What’s this?” Yang Chen returned from his deep thoughts to reality, and puzzlingly asked. “Contract, a marriage contract.” Lin Ruoxi once more turned away, refusing to look at Yang Chen, returning to her initial cold face. Yang Chen smiled, picked up the fountain pen and signed his name naturally on the signature box without even looking at the contents. “You’re not even looking at what’s on it before signing?” Lin Ruoxi frowned and said. Yang Chen shook his head, smiled and said, “Even without looking I know, it must be things like I cannot enter your room, cannot push you over, mutual agreement of not interfering with each other’s private lives, when outside I have to conscientiously act properly, with a reward 3 years later. Right?” Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips, and mumbled, “More or less, since you’ve already signed, you must abide by it in the future.” “Hehe. However, little Ruoxi, what if you take the initiative to ask me for it…… What should I do……” Yang Chen frivolously asked. “You……” Lin Ruoxi was angered to the point her whole face blushed, “Hmph! It won’t happen, that type of stain in one’s life, once is enough……” Stain in one’s life? The thing that half the people in the whole world do everyday was a stain in one’s life to this girl. Yang Chen didn’t retort and laughed, he drank a big mouth and finished the cup of coffee, dusted his butt and stood up, “Alright, later on I still have to go to a friend’s place for dinner. Let us leave the matter of registering for tomorrow……” “Wait, how do I contact you, what’s your cellphone number?” Lin Ruoxi said with dissatisfaction. Yang Chen scratched his head, and replied embarrassed, “Didn’t you investigate me? I have no cellphone, if I bought one I still have to pay for the line, I don’t have the money. Tomorrow you can come to my house to find me, shouting for me from downstairs would do.” With that said he intended to leave. “Hey!” “Is there more?” Yang Chen turned back. “You…… You’re not allowed to call me like that.” Lin Ruoxi herself found that form of address too embarrassing to say, it was too sappy! Yang Chen understood in a flash, and followed with a serious face as he said, “As you bid, my lord wife.” Lin Ruoxi instantly felt the sky spin and the earth twist…… How am I going to deal with this rogue in the future!?
