297: Chapter 297 Li Han Calls 297: Chapter 297 Li Han Calls After ending the call with Li Han, Chen Yang directly walked over to Yang Ruoxi.

He wanted to ask if there was a conflict with her family.

But just as Chen Yang approached her, she spoke first.

“I know it was my sister who called and asked me to go back!

But I just don’t want to return, nothing anyone says will make a difference.”

Yang Ruoxi stood up, her attitude very firm as she spoke.

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, having never seen Yang Ruoxi like this before.

“What’s wrong, Ruoxi, did something happen at home?

You’re so resistant to going back.”

Chen Yang patiently asked.

“Hmph.”

Yang Ruoxi snorted heavily: “I’m just not going back.

I don’t want to go back; I want to stay here.”

After saying that, she turned and went into the inner room, starting to refuse to communicate with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was dumbfounded.

Everything had been fine just a moment ago; why did Yang Ruoxi’s attitude change so drastically after Li Han’s call?

Forget about her.

First, go cook and eat, then find an opportunity to ask what the situation is.

Thinking this, Chen Yang followed her into the inner room.

But he did not enter the room; instead, he went straight to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

Before long, Chen Yang had lunch ready.

And he called Yang Ruoxi out of her room to eat together.

During the meal, Chen Yang didn’t ask why Yang Ruoxi didn’t want to go home.

Because one look at her expression told him that she was still unhappy, somewhat resistant to the topic.

Chen Yang was also a perceptive person.

Knowing that Yang Ruoxi was resistant, he naturally didn’t ask.

“Eat more vegetables.”

Chen Yang placed a piece of meat into Yang Ruoxi’s bowl.

Yang Ruoxi nodded her head and started eating silently.

After lunch, the afternoon was rather boring.

Nothing to do.

The sun outside was blazing, and the temperature was very high.

Chen Yang, standing inside the clinic without even going out, could feel the intense heat from outside.

“In this kind of weather, one really gets the urge to just soak in water the whole time.”

Chen Yang, with hands on hips, looked out at the bright sun and said.

Yang Ruoxi, sitting on a stool, glanced at Chen Yang and said nothing.

After maintaining this pose for a while, Chen Yang suddenly turned around: “Ruoxi, how about we go swim in the county city, and incidentally return the car to your sister?”

“Okay…”

Yang Ruoxi, upon hearing about swimming, seemed ready to agree immediately.

But then she thought about going to the county afterward and abruptly stopped, hesitating before shaking her head: “No!

I don’t want to go to the county city.

You’re tricking me, trying to send me back.”

Yang Ruoxi huffed lightly and sat back down with arms crossed.

Her little face was visibly upset.

Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through by Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang gave a sheepish smile and then moved closer.

“Ruoxi, why won’t you go?

If you want to come play, there will be chances later, it’s not like you’re missing out on one or two days.”

Chen Yang began to counsel Yang Ruoxi, wanting to find out why she refused to go back.

At that point, Yang Ruoxi wasn’t so resistant anymore.

“It’s because my dad is coming to the county city, so I don’t want to go back.”

Yang Ruoxi said.

“Why?

Why can’t you go back if your dad is coming to the county city?

Even if you don’t go, he will come to find you.”

Chen Yang asked, somewhat puzzled.

The moment Yang Ruoxi heard that her dad would come looking for her, her eyes instantly reddened.

“I just don’t want to go back, even if he comes for me, I’m not going back.

I refuse to be a sacrifice for business!

I won’t do it.”

Yang Ruoxi became emotional and started crying.

This caught Chen Yang off guard.

Why did she suddenly start crying?

Chen Yang had his ways with women, but when it came to a crying woman, he was at a loss.

He simply did not know how to comfort her.

“Ruoxi, please don’t cry!

Let’s talk it out.

If there’s a problem, I can help you analyze it and figure out a solution.”

Chen Yang quickly reached out to pat Yang Ruoxi’s back, comforting her at the same time.

Still, Yang Ruoxi couldn’t hold back and continued to cry incessantly.

Tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Chen Yang felt a pang of heartache and naturally wrapped his arms around Yang Ruoxi to comfort her.

Chen Yang soothed her like a child for a while until Yang Ruoxi’s emotions had calmed down somewhat.

Once she had calmed down, they parted.

With her eyes red, Yang Ruoxi looked into Chen Yang’s eyes.

After staring at each other for several seconds, she suddenly asked, “Chen Yang, when you said you liked me last time, did you mean it?”

Chen Yang was taken aback at the moment.

He didn’t understand why Yang Ruoxi would suddenly ask that.

But he nodded firmly anyway, “Yeah, it’s true.”

“Then okay, since it’s true, don’t let me go back.

Even if my dad comes, don’t let me go back with him.”

Yang Ruoxi’s voice became choked again, but it was laced with determination.

Chen Yang fell silent for a few seconds, unable to help but ask, “Why?

That’s your dad.

If he wants to take you away, I don’t have the right to interfere.”

Yang Ruoxi choked up again, then said, “Don’t ask about the reason, you just need to know that I absolutely cannot go back.”

As Yang Ruoxi spoke, she began to cry again.

Chen Yang couldn’t stand to see her like this.

To stop Yang Ruoxi from crying again, Chen Yang could only nod in agreement.

“Okay, okay, I promise you…

I’ll definitely help you stall for time, but I can’t say for sure if it’ll work,” Chen Yang reassured her.

Hearing Chen Yang’s promise, Yang Ruoxi’s mood improved slightly and she stopped crying.

“Mm-hmm!”

Yang Ruoxi nodded her head, then fell silent.

Chen Yang reached out to wipe the tear stains from her face, teasing, “Can’t we just talk?

Look at you, crying like a big calico cat, you’re not even pretty anymore.”

“I didn’t want to cry, I just couldn’t help it.”

Yang Ruoxi let out a laugh as she teased Chen Yang in return.

“Haha, alright, I’ve already agreed, so don’t be upset anymore,” Chen Yang said with a laugh to comfort her.

Then he asked, “What do you want to eat tonight?

How about I make something delicious for you to eat?”

“And how about we invite the village chief over and have a nice dinner together?”

Yang Ruoxi readily nodded in agreement to Chen Yang’s suggestion.

And she mentioned that she felt like having hot pot.

“All right, then let’s have a pheasant hot pot tonight, paired with the coldest drinks and sauces!”

Chen Yang agreed with a nod and then comforted Yang Ruoxi a few more times.

After making sure her mood had stabilized, Chen Yang said he was going to go out to prepare the ingredients.

“Okay, you go.

I’ll boil water for you at home.”

Yang Ruoxi nodded obediently and then stood up to go to the kitchen.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, left the clinic and walked toward the direction of the pheasant farm.

He caught a very plump hen from the pheasant farm and brought it back.

However, Chen Yang didn’t head straight back to the clinic.

Instead, he took a detour to the village office first.

Seeing the door to the office was open, Chen Yang went straight up to the second floor with the pheasant in hand and entered the office.

Wu Kexin was in the office, working diligently.

Upon seeing Chen Yang, she immediately stood up.

“Chen Yang, you’re here.

Did you check on the mountain today?

How are the crayfish doing?”

Wu Kexin’s first matter of business was to ask about the crayfish.

Chen Yang walked over to sit down opposite Wu Kexin and said with a smile, “The crayfish are adapting well to the cave environment; they’re living very well.”

“Really?

That’s great to hear.

I was worried something might go wrong with your crayfish,” Wu Kexin replied with a grin, sitting back down.

Then, with a smile, she asked, “You didn’t come over just to tell me about the crayfish, did you?

Is there something else?”

Wu Kexin was sharp, guessing Chen Yang’s intentions before he even spoke.

Chen Yang gave an awkward smile, “Right, there is something I need your help with.”

“Why stand on ceremony with me?

Just tell me what it is.”

Wu Kexin was very straightforward.
