My Wife is a Beautiful CEO

Knocked Down

Yang Chen took a puff of his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt away before huffing on Lin Ruoxis face.

Lin Ruoxi coughed at his surprise attack and pinched his waist. Although she knew he wouldnt feel a thing from it, she still insisted on punishing him to relieve her anger.

“Why did you do that?!”

“To knock some sense into you,” Yang Chen was displeased, “Lin Ruoxi, arent you being too materialistic? Its just a branch, let it go bankrupt. Why must you pull Hui Lin back from Mount Emei? Do you really want her to put up an act to restore her reputation so that you can earn money? Its not like youre desperate for money, why would you trouble your sister?”

Lin Ruoxi tightened her jaw and glared at him, “What? Are you the only one who cares for her? Grandma taught me how to be a businessman ever since I was young. Shouldnt I care about money as a businessman? Am I supposed to only care about women like you? Im not desperate for money but what about my employees? What about those on the production team? Whos gonna pay for their bills? They have families, careers and dreams! Theyve been working hard for the movie and Hui Lin went missing because of her reasons. Everything is a mess now. Is it fair for them? Is this only about money? Im sure that Hui Lin will consider my suggestion and agree to it. Im not forcing her to work, I just want her to get back to her beloved stage and perform for everyone else.”

Yang Chen turned silent. She was right, Hui Lin did burden those people and he was partly responsible for it.

“Are you sure? I dont want her to be in the centre of the attention only to be bashed by everyone else. Old lady Yun Miao would kill me.” Yang Chen muttered.

Lin Ruoxi gave him a side-eye, “Is something going on between the both of you? It seems like you really dont want her to have a comeback. Are you hiding something from me?”

Yang Chen feigned calm, “No way, Im her brother-in-law.”

Lin Ruoxi didnt think much about it and she nodded, “I suppose you wouldnt be that reckless to lay your hands on Hui Lin. Thatd make you a beast!”

Yang Chen was filled with regret. He was already worse than a beast.

He was a disappointment but he didnt have a choice. Hui Lin was head over heels for him and he had rejected her many times but after that near-death experience, he succumbed to his desires.

Now that Hui Lin knew about his true feelings, she couldnt possibly let him go. She might be innocent, but she was serious about her feelings. There was no way she would back down.
