C992 To be Punished by the Heavens
She quickly turned around and looked at the little girl in the blue dress who was giggling and skipping right behind her.
"Lanlan!?"
Yang Chen only felt Lin Ruoxi pull her hand away from his palm. When he turned around, the woman had already bent down, opened her arms, and hugged a cute girl who looked familiar to him!
"Mom!"
Lanlan called out in her childish voice again.
The girl was wearing the same blue dress as before. The only difference was that she was wearing white cotton socks and red leather shoes. Her black hair was let loose, accentuating her snow-white skin. Her pair of big black eyes were filled with the joy of seeing Lin Ruoxi.
After Lin Ruoxi picked the girl up, she gave the girl a gentle kiss on her face. She could only smell the fragrance of her baby's milk.
"Lanlan, why are you here? Mom misses you." Lin Ruoxi had always been worried about Lanlan, who had been taken away by her "grandfather", but she couldn't find her. She didn't expect the girl to magically appear in front of her!
Lanlan wrapped her arms around Lin Ruoxi's neck and pouted, "It was grandpa who asked Lanlan and the nanny to come here and let Lanlan find her mother."
"Your grandfather?" Lin Ruoxi was stunned. Didn't that weird middle-aged man not allow her to adopt Lanlan?
Nanny Min Juann, who followed along, was panting heavily. It seemed like catching up with Lanlan was a difficult task. All the passersby were surprised to find out that Min Juann had even helped to carry a huge travel bag with her. But she carried a bag like that on the street, and it was eye-catching.
Seeing Lin Ruoxi and Yang Chen, Min Juann smiled a little embarrassedly, "Miss Lin, we meet again. Master suddenly said that he would be out for a while and didn't know when he would be back. Before he left, he brought me and Lanlan here." She continued, "He said that you would stay here. He told Lanlan to stay by your side for the time being. So, I brought along my and Lanlan's clothes." She pointed to her bag.
Lin Ruoxi became more and more curious as to what was going on.
Yang Chen, who had been watching this scene, finally couldn't help but say, "Ruoxi, you're never pregnant. You're not her mother!"
Lin Ruoxi's face reddened as she glanced left and right to confirm that no one else had heard her before saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I like Lanlan, so what if Lanlan calls me Mama?" She went on: "She was so miserable when she was a child. Do you have any sympathy for her?"
"I do have sympathy, but this child calls you mother. Then, am I not her father?" Yang Chen was conflicted as he said, "This child is like a small cannon ball, he's weird and strange. I'm worried that any trouble will follow."
Yang Chen had previously experienced Lanlan's terrifying explosive power for a test. Although the girl was very obedient to Lin Ruoxi, Yang Chen was very worried about the background behind such a magical girl.
However, when Lin Ruoxi heard that Lanlan was going to be raised by her, she was already overjoyed. She snorted lightly, "Even if there's trouble, there's still you. If you can't even protect your own wife and daughter, that would be too embarrassing."
"What a joke! How could I... Wait! "That's not right!" He continued, "You're my wife, but I didn't say the child was my daughter." Yang Chen scratched his head, "I am a pure and clean man, a man who defends himself like jade. Don't slander me!"
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes. She didn't even want to bother with this rogue anymore.
"Bad uncle is shameless!"
Lanlan pouted and hugged Lin Ruoxi's pink neck as she muttered.
Because she was helpless before due to Yang Chen, the little girl knew that she couldn't beat Yang Chen, so she could only use words to provoke the bad uncle.
Just when Yang Chen was about to raise his fist, he saw Lin Ruoxi's bone-piercing cold eyes staring at him like she was protecting a calf. She was so serious that Yang Chen was suddenly not angry.
The ruthlessness from before also came from his anger. Now that he had calmed down, in front of his wife, Yang Chen still couldn't muster up any guts. It was probably what he had always been like this.
"That's enough, I was really unlucky to meet such a chaotic little devil." Yang Chen twitched his mouth and called to Min Juann who was beside him with a smile. "Since you're here, come have dinner with us."
Min Juann thought to herself, this powerful man is actually a shy person. She wanted to laugh out loud, but she held herself back.
Following that, at Lanlan's request, the four of them entered a northern snack bar.
After they sat down, the waiter naturally placed the menu in Lin Ruoxi's hands. Because the waiters see a lot of guests, they are quite observant. They know who's the one to make the decision.
Lin Ruoxi didn't refuse. She took the menu and glanced at it a few times, calculating that Lanlan's stomach had the sea and Yang Chen, a glutton, so she directly said to the waiter, "The most frequent snack you have here is twenty servings of different kinds."
The waiter, who was about to take notes with a pen, nearly dropped his chin to the floor when he heard this.
Cautiously looking at the girl in front of him, who was much prettier than any famous celebrity, he couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Ruoxi's serious look. "Miss, are you serious?"
Lin Ruoxi frowned. "Of course."
"I'm afraid it's not worth it. It's very expensive, but it's also a waste of food!" The waiter kindly advised.
Lin Ruoxi was not a person who liked to waste time. She directly said, "Can I pay the bill first before you serve the dishes?"
The waiter had nothing to say, so he hurriedly shook his head and ran off in fright. He even spoke a few words with the manager of the restaurant and waited for the manager to nod in agreement before he set down the order.
Not long after, after serving a table full of food, under the astonished gazes of the surrounding guests, Yang Chen and Lanlan started to eat and drink.
Yang Chen looked like he was wolfing down his food. He was not gentle at all as he ate one bun at a time and ate three to four wontons at a time.
Lanlan, on the other hand, acted as if she was afraid that someone would steal her food. Every time she finished a bowl of her food, she would also finish the dumpling soup. At the same time, she would lick her lips. At the same time, she looked extremely cute and innocent, and at the same time, unbelievable. Why didn't the little girl show any signs of being full after eating such a huge bowl of food!?
Watching the two gluttons sweep the table, Lin Ruoxi and Min Juann were not too surprised. After all, they were well aware of the "strength" of these two gluttons.
Looking at the way they ate and enjoyed themselves, Lin Ruoxi really felt that they looked similar. It was just that the difference in size was too great.
However, Lin Ruoxi herself didn't have that much of an appetite. She still hadn't finished her bowl of mutton steamed bun. She lost her appetite.
Seeing Lin Ruoxi put down the spoon, Yang Chen said while chewing, "Wife, you are wasting food and will be punished by the heavens."
Lin Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, "Just eat. Don't mind so much."
"Mom, you can't waste it. Grandfather said, it's noon after hoeing, sweat drops down to the ground." Lanlan even quoted an ancient poem to persuade her.
Lin Ruoxi blushed a little. How was she educated by her youngest daughter? She looked at the steamed buns and mutton in the bowl with a troubled expression. "But mother really can't eat anymore."
"Just say it earlier, I'll eat it!"
Yang Chen happily took Lin Ruoxi's bowl and finished the rest of the steamed buns in a few gulps.
For the first time, Lanlan giggled at Yang Chen. "Bad uncle is a good boy!"
Yang Chen blinked his eyes at the little girl. Suddenly, he felt that this little girl with a bright smile on her face had the same thoughts as him.
Of course, perhaps it was because both of them were Big Gastric Kings.
Many people silently watched from the sidelines as the table full of food was completely devoured. This made the waiters feel a little overwhelmed, and they looked at the two gluttons with incomparable admiration.
Lin Ruoxi ordered more orange juice for Lanlan to drink. Seeing her daughter looking satisfied, she felt exceptionally happy.
"Lanlan, did your grandfather not say anything else before he left?" Lin Ruoxi was afraid that the man would suddenly return and take Lanlan away, so she had to get to the bottom of this.
Lanlan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Grandpa wants Lanlan to stay with Mom."
A trace of strangeness flashed across Yang Chen's eyes as he asked, "Ruoxi, you've met Lanlan's grandfather before?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded. She told him about Lanlan's grandpa's sudden appearance last time — how the child had been taken away.
"He said that if I wanted to adopt Lanlan, I would have to separate from you. Divorce. Now, he suddenly sent Lanlan over. I really don't understand." Lin Ruoxi frowned.
Nanny Min Juann saw the duo's doubt and couldn't help but chuckle. "Mr. Yang, Miss Lin, actually, master wanted me to tell you guys something …"
