Chapter 137 Their Relationship

"I'm sorry, I was busy in the kitchen just now, that's why I was a little slow. Please don't mind, Dr. Luo."

"How could that be? I was just embarrassed to bother Dr. Du." Luo Yuan said this, but there was no politeness in her eyes, and her gaze kept drifting towards Yang Zeyan in the courtyard.

Yang Zeyan: "..."

If it weren't for his wife's sake, he would have thrown this woman out the door.

Luo Xiaojuan, who had started stewing the dishes in the kitchen, came out as well.

Du Ruoxia smiled and introduced them, "Xiao Juan, this is Dr. Luo Yuan. Dr. Luo, I can't cook, so I'm lucky to have invited a helper today."

"Hello Dr. Luo, I'm currently working in the internal medicine ward. We haven't met at the hospital yet!"

"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future. Hello, Comrade Luo Xiaojuan. You can call me Yuanyuan from now on."

"Dr. Du, this is just a small token of my appreciation." Luo Yuan handed over the fruit she was holding.

Du Ruoxia didn't stand on ceremony with them, took the net bag, and told them to sit wherever they wanted. She was just about to go into the kitchen to wash the fruit.

Luo Xiaojuan took it, saying, "Xiaxia, you stay with Dr. Luo, I'll go."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaojuan."

"It's not tiring at all," Luo Xiaojuan said happily.

"This young lady is quite nice," Luo Yuan said with a smile after Luo Xiaojuan entered the kitchen.

"How old are you yourself? How dare you call someone a little girl?" Du Ruoxia laughed.

Luo Yuan glared at her, "I'm 27, much older than you."

"Oh yeah, hahaha." Du Ruoxia always forgets that she is only 21 years old and still thinks she is in her forties.

Being young is wonderful; it makes you feel ten or twenty years younger.

Just thinking about it is wonderful.

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Luo Yuan was staring at Yang Zeyan. She said helplessly, "If I didn't know you wouldn't dare, I would really think you had taken a fancy to my lover. Why are you always staring at him?"

Her words startled not only Luo Yuan, but also Yang Zeyan.

"Wife, I don't like her, I only like you." He said anxiously, regardless of whether there were outsiders present, afraid that his wife would misunderstand and make her unhappy.

Du Ruoxia burst into laughter at his appearance.

Luo Yuan rolled her eyes, speechless.

Then he sighed.

Du Ruoxia just stared at her without saying a word.

Luo Yuan was still waiting for her to ask her why she sighed. Why didn't she ask?

Asking her will make it easier to explain what to say next.

After waiting for a while, Du Ruoxia still didn't ask any questions.

She was extremely anxious, gritted her teeth, and decided to take the plunge.

"Xiaxia, do you think I look like your lover?"

Here it comes~

Du Ruoxia thought to herself, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she carefully examined their faces for a while before shaking her head and saying, "It doesn't seem like it."

It really doesn't look like it.

However, while they are not completely alike, there are still similarities in their facial features.

It's just not obvious.

If they stood together, no one would doubt that they were siblings.

Luo Yuanzhen felt that she did it on purpose, but she couldn't find any evidence.

"You might not believe it, but Comrade Yang Zeyan looks a lot like my mother, a lot like her."

This time, Du Ruoxia's eyes widened. "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Yang Zeyan frowned. He wasn't stupid; he naturally guessed what she meant by saying that.

His mother died shortly after he was born, so he had little memory of her. He heard that she was a young lady from a wealthy family who fell in love with his father, a revolutionary. His mother's family disapproved and didn't want her to suffer, so the two eloped.

Therefore, only Yang's father knew more about his mother's affairs; even his grandparents were unaware of her situation.

Over time, Yang Zeyan stopped thinking about it deeply.

However, in this vast world, there are too many people who look alike, and people who look alike are not necessarily related by blood.

Thinking about this, he felt relieved.

Luo Yuan was surprised that the two people didn't react at all after she said that, and she couldn't help but get a little anxious.

Aren't you surprised at all?

"What's so strange about it? In this vast world, there are countless people who look alike. What's so strange about it?" Du Ruoxia said calmly.

At this moment, Luo Xiaojuan brought out the fruit and placed it on the table in the yard.

Then he went into the kitchen, brought out a bag of vegetables, and sat down to obediently pick them.

Du Ruoxia picked up an apple and took a bite with a snap.

Don't be fooled by the fact that apples today may not look as good as those of later generations, but they taste absolutely delicious.

You don't need to worry about eating anything harmful if you don't peel it.

Actually, eating apples with the peel on provides the best nutrition.

Unfortunately, the fruits of later generations had too many hardships, and by the time they were put on display for sale, they had gone through who knows how many layers of shelves.

Therefore, people usually peel the skin before eating it.

"Okay," Luo Yuan said, deflated.

Later, Yang Zeyan investigated his mother's affairs.

His father was involved in the revolution and was reported by his uncle and maternal grandfather. His father narrowly escaped death, while his mother chose to leave home and elope with his father because of her faith and love.

Over the years, my maternal grandfather's family lost contact with my mother and never thought of finding their daughter.

Although Yang Zeyan valued loyalty and righteousness, his maternal grandfather's family was heartless and ungrateful, and besides, his mother had already passed away, so he had no intention of trying to get close to them.

The Peng and Chen families joined forces and used all their connections, but they still couldn't bring Yang Zeyan down. However, due to pressure from both families, the higher-ups still transferred Yang Zeyan to the mountainous area.

However, this is only on the surface. In reality, sending Yang Zeyan there for training and then bringing him back would allow him to advance two or even three levels.

The military gave Yang Zeyan a demotion in name only, which was actually a promotion, in order to mislead the Peng and Chen families. However, Yang Zeyan didn't know how to bring it up with Du Ruoxia.

Because the environment in the mountains is definitely not as good as here, he was worried that Du Ruoxia would suffer there.

However, Du Ruoxia already knew the news and was prepared, so she resolutely chose to go with the army.

The two left in a hurry. Du Ruoxia wrote a resignation letter, packed her things with Yang Zeyan, and set off. She was afraid of seeing her friends' reluctant eyes and would definitely cry, which wouldn't be cool. So she left quickly before everyone could react.

Upon arriving in the mountainous region of Northwest China, Yang Zeyan felt a pang of sadness looking at the impoverished family compound.

Du Ruoxia married him and came to this remote mountainous area to accompany the army. From then on, she had to do everything herself, from washing clothes to cooking.

The difference between before and after is too great. If Du Ruoxia can't adapt and wants to leave, Yang Zeyan won't even have a reason to stop her.

The more Yang Zeyan thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Du Ruoxia.

He not only washed the lunchbox, but also brought her hot water to wash her feet when he saw her sitting on the sofa.

Yang Zeyan grabbed her ankle and personally took off her shoes and socks.

Du Ruoxia was genuinely startled. She kicked forward, almost knocking the basin over.

Yang Zeyan quickly grabbed the soles of her feet, pulled them over, and put them into the warm water.

Du Ruoxia, who had been feeling cold all over, suddenly felt warm all over when the soles of her feet warmed up.

"Ah, that feels so good!"
