382: Chapter 382: Voluntary 382: Chapter 382: Voluntary “This old man, his mind’s too sly.

Even if he wanted us to be together, did he really need to go this far?”

Chen Yang said, somewhat at a loss for words.

“Mr.

Chen, you can’t blame my dad entirely.

He meant well…

and, you mentioned before that you had feelings for me, so…”

Wang Hong explained in a low, blushing voice.

Listening to this, Chen Yang was even more speechless.

He had indeed felt something for Wang Hong initially, but he hadn’t seriously thought about threatening her with lobster.

Unexpectedly, both the old man and Wang Hong took it seriously.

This made things very awkward.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yang spoke seriously and apologetically, “Wang Hong, I indeed had a good impression of you initially, but I am not a person who repays kindness with gratitude or who bullies the weak.”

“When I said I wanted to use lobsters to marry you, it was just a joke.

I really didn’t expect the old man to take it seriously, leading to the situation now.

I am truly sorry.”

“Hmm, I understand now, Mr.

Chen.

But you don’t need to apologize; this was all my own choice,” Wang Hong said seriously.

Chen Yang was somewhat astonished: “Your own choice?”

Wang Hong nodded firmly: “Yes, my own choice.

I know you’re a good person, Mr.

Chen, and very capable.

From the moment I saw you, I felt a strong connection with you, one that I clearly understood as wanting to be your woman…

So all of this was my own choice.”

After saying this, a shy Wang Hong’s head drooped down, no longer daring to look at Chen Yang.

Hearing Wang Hong’s words surprised Chen Yang first, then moved him deeply.

Was this the first time a woman had confessed to him?

Moved, Chen Yang unconsciously reached out and touched Wang Hong’s head.

“You’ve known me for how long, and already you want to be my woman?

Aren’t you afraid I might be a bad person, that all this is just an act?”

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Felling Chen Yang’s warmth, Wang Hong no longer felt embarrassed or shy.

She looked up at Chen Yang, shaking her head firmly: “I’m not afraid, I believe you’re not that kind of person.”

After speaking, Wang Hong asked expectantly, “Mr.

Chen, you’re not that kind of person, right?”

Facing the innocent Wang Hong, a great ripple stirred in Chen Yang’s heart, but he did not respond to her.

Instead, he stood up.

“It’s very late; you should sleep now.

I’ll sleep on the sofa outside tonight.”

As Chen Yang was about to leave, Wang Hong instinctively grabbed his arm.

Then, somewhat aggrieved, she said, “Mr.

Chen, we don’t have to do anything, but could you sleep in my room?

Otherwise, I won’t know what to tell my dad tomorrow.”

Hearing Wang Hong’s request, Chen Yang was also thinking of refusing.

But considering they weren’t going to do anything, and he had already rejected her once, if he rejected her a second time, it would definitely hurt her.

So, in the end, he nodded in agreement.

“Okay, I’ll sleep here then.”

Chen Yang agreed, but he did not take off his clothes.

Chen Yang lay on the left side of the bed, and Wang Hong lay on the right.

After they lay down, neither spoke, but neither slept either.

Just feeling each other’s breathing and any little movements…

Unsure how long this state lasted, a groggy Chen Yang eventually fell asleep.

The next day dawned.

Chen Yang woke up.

At some point during the night, Wang Hong had crawled into his arms and was sleeping comfortably there.

“Such a silly girl.”

Looking at the sleeping Wang Hong, Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, and without taking any advantage, he carefully moved Wang Hong out of his arms and then left.

After leaving Wang Hong’s house, Chen Yang had no desire to stay longer in the town.

He directly went to the roadside of Night Snack Street, found his car, and then drove back to Liuhe Village.

No sooner had Chen Yang left, when the old man emerged from the snack store.

“Hehe, coming out at this time, it seems like it worked.”

The old man watched Chen Yang drive away and chuckled before immediately running back home.

Back at home, Xiao Cui had already gotten up.

“How did it go?

Did you win him over?”

The old man immediately asked about the situation as soon as he saw her.

“No.”

Xiao Cui shook her head, but her face was filled with a smiling expression, and she was in a very good mood.

“What?”

The old man was astonished and pressed further, “Why not?

Didn’t you two sleep on the same bed last night?

Didn’t you cook the raw rice into a meal?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Cui nodded and then summarized what had happened last night.

After hearing Xiao Cui’s recount, the old man slightly furrowed his brows but didn’t say much.

He only mentioned that they should get along well in the future.

“I know, Dad!

I’ll try my best to keep in touch with Boss Chen!

I will definitely bring him back to be your son-in-law!”

Xiao Cui said confidently.

After last night’s encounter, Xiao Cui had almost completely fallen for him, and her fondness for Chen Yang was boundlessly high.

She was also very confident because she knew that Chen Yang had a fondness for her too.

The reason it hadn’t worked out last night was merely because the two of them knew too little about each other.

Once they became familiar, everything would naturally fall into place.

…

Chen Yang, having left the county, thought of nothing else and went straight home.

Upon returning to Liuhe Village, Chen Yang carefully inspected the mining site.

He noticed that the village road had now been connected to the mining site.

However, it looked like it had only been recently completed; the cement road surface hadn’t completely dried yet.

At the end of the road, where the mining site used to be just barren hills, it had now become completely bare and very flat.

Around that large flat area, many temporary work sheds had also been erected.

“It’s speeding up; it looks like it won’t be many days before the mine can officially start construction,” he said.

After observing the mining site from a distance, Chen Yang wandered around the breeding farm for a while.

It was still early, the time when Wang Hong usually fed the breeding farm.

Seeing Chen Yang, Wang Hong asked curiously, “Yang Zi, what have you been busy with lately?

Why do I always see you not at home, not taking care of your family business?”

Wang Hong collected wild mushrooms, wild rabbits, and wild chickens daily to place in Chen Yang’s backyard.

So they were clear about whether Chen Yang was home every day.

Recently realizing that Chen Yang was often not at home, she curiously asked.

“Hehe.”

Chen Yang chuckled and replied, “Not busy with much, just wandering around in the county, aren’t you all watching over my family business for me?”

“Wandering around?

I think you’re flirting!

You naughty boy, did you go on a date?”

Wang Hong teased with a laugh.

“Hehe, I wish I were dating, but I have no one to date.

How about I treat you to a meal?”

Chen Yang retorted teasingly.

“Hahahaha…”

At Chen Yang’s remark, Aunt Zhang nearby laughed heartily.

However, Wang Hong’s face suddenly turned sour.

She gave Chen Yang a glare and dismissively waved her hand, “Off with you, you naughty boy, even teasing your aunt?

Go play with your city girlfriend.”

“Hehe, alright then.

You guys carry on; I’m going to check on the pheasant breeding farm.”

Chen Yang laughed and, having no desire to continue the conversation, turned and headed to the pheasant breeding farm.
