Chapter 126 The old lady can't live without spicy food
Yang Zeyan's earnest admonitions were like those of a primary school student being taught not to make mistakes, leaving Du Ruoxia completely stunned.
Yang Zeyan's expression darkened when he saw that she didn't respond, and his dark eyes looked at her dangerously.
Du Ruoxia only came to her senses when she felt a chill around her, and immediately responded when she saw Yang Zeyan's sullen face.
"What do you take me for, some pervert who touches abs whenever he sees them?" she retorted angrily.
Judging from Yang Zeyan's gaze at Du Ruoxia, her worst fears had come true; her image was ruined!
"Yang Zeyan, you were the one who told me to touch you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have touched you!"
"Besides, it was you who seduced me!"
Du Ruoxia spent the morning thinking about how things had gotten to that point last night. She had only been lusting after him, but how had she ended up being led around by Yang Zeyan? She concluded that Yang Zeyan had deliberately seduced her!
Yang Zeyan hadn't expected Du Ruoxia to suddenly bring up the matter from the night before. He looked away guiltily, realizing that he had indeed seduced her.
After noticing Du Ruoxia's subtle expression, he came up with this idea. Given their situation—they saw each other infrequently—he figured he would never win her heart if he couldn't find anything that could interest her. So, he used his good looks to his advantage.
Before today, he would have disdained to do such a thing, and even looked down on people who did it. Now he has been proven wrong.
"I only said that to see if you liked it. Whether you want it or not is up to you. Are you now going to take advantage of me and not admit it?" Yang Zeyan turned around and stared at her dangerously.
Du Ruoxia shrank her neck and shook her head in dissatisfaction, saying, "I was acting legally, so why do I have to pay a price for touching you?"
Yang Zeyan coughed awkwardly and said, "Then why don't you agree to remain chaste for me? I'm willing to remain chaste for you."
"Cherish chastity?" Du Ruoxia pondered the meaning of this word in her mind. She couldn't understand why Yang Zeyan would use this word. This is a new era!
"Hey Yang Zeyan, that's not the way things are anymore. It's all about free love now, you know?" Du Ruoxia patiently explained to him.
"Of course, I don't mean to say you want to cheat, I just mean you're using that word inaccurately."
"I will definitely be devoted to my relationships!"
Du Ruoxia was telling Yang Zeyan her views on relationships. She wanted to say that if she didn't love him anymore, she would break up with him decisively, but seeing Yang Zeyan's expression, she obediently shut her mouth.
Yang Zeyan's expression improved considerably after hearing Du Ruoxia's words. He patted her back and nodded.
"Get up, you still need to see your grandmother."
Du Ruoxia frowned. "Where should we meet? I don't want to go to the Yang family's place, lest I upset your family."
Yang Zeyan also fell silent as he pondered, and Du Ruoxia did not disturb him.
After a while, he spoke up, "How about the Fujing Hotel?"
Thinking of the Fujing Hotel's reputation, Du Ruoxia nodded excitedly, "Great!"
She didn't get a proper chance to explore Kyoto or try any of its local specialties. If she could have, the trip would have been worthwhile.
Once he made up his mind, Yang Zeyan got up and called home.
Grandpa Li's face stiffened upon receiving the call. "Not coming back? We'll meet outside?"
Yang Zeyan briefly explained the reason to him and then hung up the phone without speaking directly to the old lady.
He was puzzled and surprised, then he understood, and finally sighed.
The old lady wasn't Grandpa Li. When she heard Grandpa Li's message, she was still in the kitchen arranging for someone to make soup, and she didn't realize what was happening at first.
"Little Li, is Zeyan calling so early just to say he's not coming back to meet?"
"What? Not coming back?"
The old lady said the first sentence with a smile, then realized what she meant and shouted it out loud.
The old man who was drinking tea inside heard the noise, quickly put down his cup, and came over to check. When he saw his wife's shocked face, he hurried over to ask what was wrong.
His expression wasn't good after hearing Grandpa Li's words. "Is this for real? You don't want to join our Yang family anymore?"
When Wang Hu relayed Du Ruoxia's words to him, he didn't take it seriously. But now, judging from Du Ruoxia's attitude, it wasn't just an angry remark; she was clearly serious!
"Little Li, did you hear that wrong? How could Zeyan not bring his wife into the house?" The old lady still didn't believe it.
Grandpa Li explained Yang Zeyan's explanation to the two of them, and the old man's face darkened.
"Wang Hu, Wang Hu, where are you? I have a question for you!" the old man shouted outside.
Hearing the noise, Wang Hu rushed in and waited respectfully for the old man to speak.
"Tell me about Du Ruoxia's personality. Once she says something, it's like a horse that can't be taken back," the old man said, bending slightly at the waist.
Wang Hu pursed his lips, shook his head and nodded, and the old lady hurriedly spoke up.
"What are you doing, nodding and shaking your head like that? Say something!"
Instead of answering the question directly, Wang Hu recounted in detail what Du Ruoxia had done in Xilan City.
"Although Comrade Du is not exceptionally capable, she is indeed a person of her word. She always thinks things through carefully before making a decision, and it is not easy to change her mind."
The old lady's eyes reddened after hearing this. "She's harboring resentment and is heartbroken over our family!"
The old man sighed and looked at the old woman, "Since that's the case, will you still see her?"
The old lady wiped away her tears, then said firmly, "Go, of course I'll go! This is all your son's doing!"
"Little Li, give the order: Yang Qiming is not allowed to come back. Throw him out the moment you see him!"
The old lady's command startled everyone. The old man beside her looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, but was deterred by the old lady's sharp gaze.
"If you dare let him in, get out of here too!"
Instantly, everyone held their breath, so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
"Go, put it in a pot, I'll take it to Xiaxia to drink!" The old lady started giving orders again.
The old man sighed and turned away, feeling quite helpless about the situation.
When Du Ruoxia finally arrived at the restaurant, the old lady hadn't arrived yet. Du Ruoxia asked Yang Zeyan what the old lady's preferences were, and Yang Zeyan led Du Ruoxia to place the order.
Looking at what Yang Zeyan ordered, Du Ruoxia was a little surprised, "Does the old lady like spicy food?"
Yang Zeyan nodded, "I can't live without spicy food!"
Du Ruoxia became even more interested in this straightforward old lady; she couldn't bring herself to dislike the old lady's way of speaking.
"That's really a good idea!"
Du Ruoxia thought that in this life she must taste the delicious food to make up for the regrets of the previous life, and most of the food was spicy!
Yang Zeyan was unaware of Du Ruoxia's thoughts. After ordering, he took Du Ruoxia for a walk in the garden of the Fujing Hotel while waiting for the old lady, since they had to pass through the garden to get inside.
Du Ruoxia knew about the Fujing Hotel, but she didn't know that there was such a beautiful garden there.
When the old lady arrived, the two were snuggling together. From afar, the old lady could see Yang Zeyan bending over and talking to Du Ruoxia.
"Little Li, look, isn't that my grandson? Am I seeing things?" The old lady rubbed her eyes.
Grandpa Li looked over and, sure enough, it was Yang Zeyan and Du Ruoxia. He smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
The old lady immediately stopped Grandpa Li from going over, saying, "Don't move yet, let them have some time alone."
The two saw that Yang Zeyan was leaning against the artificial hill, and Du Ruoxia was leaning against Yang Zeyan. In fact, Yang Zeyan was pulling Du Ruoxia to prevent her from leaving.
