Chapter 794 [In Case I Can’t Sleep at Night]

794

It still looks so old-fashioned, so clumsy, and so inconspicuous, but as long as you know its true value, you can't help but be deeply attracted by its low-key luxury.

Yang Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxi was staring at the pocket watch in a daze, and asked with a smile: "Now, do you still want a diamond ring?"

Lin Ruoxi turned around, and looked at him resentfully, "Why are you so angry with me...I'm not a clock researcher, how would I know that this old watch is so expensive and Patek Philippe's handwriting is so small, if you don't look carefully, you won't even notice it No, if I knew that this watch was a priceless treasure, I wouldn’t just put it in my bag casually and you didn’t explain it to me, of course I thought you just took something to prevaricate me.”

Yang Chen grimaced bitterly, and said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that day that I snatched it from the director of the FBI? You didn't listen to my explanation at all, so you went into the room and closed the door. What did you say? You won't believe me, what can I do?"

Lin Ruoxi thought that this was really the case, bit her lips, pouted and said stubbornly: "I don't care, it's all your fault anyway, if you send me off first, why wouldn't I listen to your explanation? I was tortured by you that day Mad"

Yang Chen had nothing to do with her, and kept saying "yes", which made Lin Ruoxi smile happily

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi carefully took out two pieces of soft tissues to wrap the watch, as if she wanted to keep it safe, Yang Chen smiled, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll give you this watch as a toy, and put it in the bag on weekdays In the bag, just look at the time and date, no need to store it specially”

"Then how can... such an expensive thing, if I break it, those famous watch collectors still hate me?" Lin Ruoxi frowned and said.

Yang Chen shook his head, "Whatever those things are doing, this is a gift from me, since I gave it to you, you have to use the watch to look at it, it's not an antique, it's alive"

Lin Ruoxi suddenly remembered something, although she was shy, she asked curiously: "You said last time that you want to give me a gift...is this watch?"

Yang Chen hurriedly denied it: "Don't be joking, if the gift I'm talking about is this watch, I wouldn't need to prepare it for so long, that gift is still being prepared... Well... Anyway, I will definitely let you see it this year, my wife Don't worry, I always keep my word..."

Lin Ruoxi's heart beat a little faster, what kind of gift would take so long to prepare, what's hateful is that the man didn't reveal the slightest bit of information, making her feel itchy

Suddenly, Yang Chen asked: "I'm not curious, why did I give you this watch?"

Lin Ruoxi shook her head in a daze, "Is it because it's expensive?"

"There are a lot of expensive things, and it's not that you don't have money, so why choose expensive ones?" Yang Chen said with a faint smile

"Then why..."

The corner of Yang Chen's mouth raised slightly, he stretched out his right hand, slowly placed it on Lin Ruoxi's left hand, and gently held it, while Lin Ruoxi's hand was holding a pocket watch

Lin Ruoxi's delicate body shrank slightly, not knowing what the man was going to do

"Although this watch...is not very good-looking, even clumsy...but its 'movement' has been beating since the moment it was born. 'Core' is still the original appearance

Even in a hundred years, despite the vicissitudes of the world and the cycle of life and death, this watch will get old, but its most precious 'core' will still beat as it does now, and there will be no slight discrepancy... just Like, the moment I give you the watch, it's the same..."

The man's whisper, in the car, is like a quiet river flowing by, deep and full of waves

In Lin Ruoxi's ears, it seemed that the pocket watch's regular and boring "tick tick" sound was still echoing.

Unknowingly, Lin Ruoxi felt that her eyes were a bit cold, it was the air conditioner blowing on the overflowing tears, she didn't notice

"I'm touched just by saying that? Are you afraid that I'm just fooling you?" Yang Chen jokingly said

Lin Ruoxi pouted, "I know that people are very simple about this kind of relationship, so don't keep saying things that make people cry, what if I can't sleep at night?"

In the words, she took off the cold shell of her body, and she looked like a little girl, just like she looked like when she was clumsy and coquettish that day

Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and said: "Crying is good for dredging the lacrimal glands and getting rid of the dirty things in the eyes..."

"You say I'm dirty?" Lin Ruoxi stared at the man and asked

Yang Chen coughed twice, "Uh... What I mean is that crying is good for other women to become clean, and for Baby Ruoxi, it's just that the eyes are extra clean... Really, wife, don't you believe in looking in the mirror? His eyes are already bright enough to reflect in the mirror."

Listening to the absurd flattering explanation, Lin Ruoxi burst out laughing, as if she was blooming like a radiant azalea.

"Do you want to hear the story between me and that person?" Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked with a smile on her face.

Yang Chen was puzzled, "Who?"

"Li Jianhe"

Yang Chen hesitated, and asked, "Will you be sad if you tell that story?"

"No, it's just that you have the right to know." Lin Ruoxi's eyes were extraordinarily gentle.

Yang Chen nodded, "It's fine if you don't feel sad, then say it."

Lin Ruoxi recalled a little bit, "Actually, you might not be able to see that Shen Yaxin was a very close friend of mine when I was in college, um... Although it's not like Qianni and Yanyan, who grew up together, but also My very close classmates, we attend classes together, eat together in school, and study under Chris’s door together in graduate school.

At that time, Li Jianhe was already a very popular figure in the school. He originally studied at the University of Cambridge in England, but he came to Zhonghai University to study marketing with Chris.

The girls in the school like him, he is gentle and gentle, and has an excellent family background. What is important is that he is very talented, and he is valued by Chris, who is appointed as a teaching assistant to help us graduate students study

It was at that time that he often got in touch with me and Yaxin, at first he just talked about research projects, and later, he would go out shopping and drink afternoon tea together..."

Yang Chen chuckled lightly and said: "It seems that your college life is actually very leisurely, at least it's much more comfortable than you who are currently working in the dark."

Lin Ruoxi nodded reminiscently, and continued: "At that time, it was rumored in school that Li Jianhe liked me, otherwise he wouldn't always be with me... In fact, I can also see that Li Jianhe wants me to be his daughter Friends, occasionally I talk about some sensitive topics, but I pretend I don't understand

But at that time, he was really outstanding, and in my heart, I actually liked him silently, except for Shen Yaxin, who is closest to me in school, no one knows about it..."

Hearing this, Yang Chen felt very uncomfortable, and muttered: "Crush?"

"Well", Lin Ruoxi didn't deny it, she lowered her head, and said, "I just have a crush on him... When I'm with him, I'm very happy, but I don't dare to show it too much. I'm worried, he just likes to be with me Research topics, even he likes Yaxin, not me

Because of this uneasiness, I asked Yaxin specifically, who among us did Li Jianhe like, and she told me that the one I like must be me, and told me not to give up and try to confess as soon as possible...

Until one day, he suddenly told me that he was going back to England, and asked me if I would like to accompany him to England, but at that time, my grandma was in poor health, so how could I think about those things in the hospital bed? Thing...although I'm a bit shaken because I know it's my best chance to tell him my feelings, but...

If I left too, what would grandma do? Grandma was on the hospital bed and said she would give Yu Lei to me, how could I have the heart to go against her wishes..."

"So you turned him down?"

"Yes", Lin Ruoxi said with a light smile: "I even cried secretly at that time, because if grandma hadn't just happened to be seriously ill, I might have been able to go to England with him, at least Yulei International wouldn't need me to take care of it so early... …But I still had hope at the time, because even if I couldn’t be with him for the time being, at least when he went to England, if we continued to keep in touch, there was still a chance

It's just... I didn't expect that before he went to England, the girl he asked... wasn't just me..."

The atmosphere in the car was very comfortable, except for Lin Ruoxi's soft voice, it was the dynamic mechanical sound of the engine...

Hearing this, Yang Chen no longer needs to continue listening

Needless to say, back then, Li Jianhe used to bargain for things when he was buying things, and offered Lin Ruoxi and Shen Yaxin at the same time. As a result, Lin Ruoxi just refused because of the old president's illness, while Shen Yaxin readily agreed.

For Lin Ruoxi, Li Jianhe's behavior is equivalent to treating her precious secret love as a joke, completely trampling on it without dignity

Shen Yaxin, on the other hand, gave up her sisterhood with her in silence

Knowing that Lin Ruoxi has a crush, knowing Lin Ruoxi's difficulties, but taking advantage of the vacancy, and not saying hello at all

The double blow, the scars left on Lin Ruoxi's heart, is also the reason why Lin Ruoxi is still emotionally unstable when she sees that couple today.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, only felt that the air in the car seemed oppressive

But soon, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Yang Chen stretched out his hand and caressed the woman's face, "It turns out that it's just such a little thing, it doesn't feel strange at all, and I still treat it as my wife mentally cheating, it seems that I'm too much heart"

Lin Ruoxi carefully asked: "You won't be angry with me, that's already a thing of the past..."

Yang Chen embarrassedly smiled, "How can I be so angry with you, who doesn't have a past, who doesn't have a little ignorance when he was young? I also know that you have a crush on a math teacher. Girls are always precocious ..."

"You..." Lin Ruoxi blushed, and said angrily, "I told you not to mention things about my childhood."

Yang Chen laughed happily, and after a long time of laughing, he calmed down, sighed, turned his head, and winked at Lin Ruoxi

"Lin Ruoxi, I don't know what kind of feelings you have experienced since you were young, who you have secretly loved, who you have been in love with, and I don't care about those... I didn't have time to participate in your past, but I don't regret it. I only know that since From the day you met me, your present, your future, everything will only belong to me, and no one can touch it..."
