Chapter 309 - Regress

After Chen Yang’s figure had completely disappeared from everyone’s view, Wang Hong glanced at Yang Tiancheng with undisguised disdain.

“Yang Zi is right.

Some people just don’t deserve to be fathers!

How wonderful is our Yang Zi?

He’s sure to achieve great things in the future!

When that time comes, someone might regret it!”

Wang Hong mocked with a peculiar tone and then, with an arrogant twist, turned away and left the village entrance.

“Exactly, you don’t know how many girls want to marry our Yang Zi.

Some people are truly blind to what’s in front of them.”

With Wang Hong leading, the others followed suit with their cold, mocking comments.

Listening to the mockery around him, the anger of Yang Tiancheng’s bodyguards was uncontrollable!

They wanted to step forward and hit someone.

But they were stopped by Yang Tiancheng himself.

“Don’t make trouble!

We’re already being rude by causing a scene in someone else’s village!”

Yang Tiancheng rebuked them.

The bodyguard who had wanted to use the plastic stick hesitated, then put it down at those words.

Watching those taunting aunts leave.

When everyone had left, Wu Kexin looked at Yang Tiancheng with a complex expression in her eyes.

She sighed deeply, “Uncle Yang, you better take care of yourself.

Ruoxi is a naïve and adorable girl, I hope you won’t hurt her.”

After speaking, Wu Kexin shook her head meaningfully and then also prepared to leave.

But she was called back by Yang Tiancheng.

“Miss Wu!”

Yang Tiancheng called out gently.

Wu Kexin turned around, “What is it?

Is there something else?”

Yang Tiancheng looked exhausted, as if the recent events had sapped much of his energy.

“Can I talk to you?”

Yang Tiancheng suddenly asked.

Wu Kexin was surprised by his request, “You want to talk to me?”

Yang Tianchen nodded, “Yes, I want to have a talk with you.”

Wu Kexin didn’t know why Yang Tiancheng wanted to talk to her.

But she didn’t refuse.

“Sure.”

Wu Kexin agreed with a nod.

Afterward, the two of them walked around the vicinity of Willow River Village, talking to each other.

Elsewhere.

Chen Yang brought Yang Ruoxi home in a fury, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

She was heartbroken.

Watching Yang Ruoxi cry her heart out, Chen Yang felt an immense ache inside.

But he didn’t know how to comfort her, he could only hold her in his arms, silently keeping company with her.

“Ruoxi, don’t be too sad.

He can’t take you away, and you won’t marry that stranger,” Chen Yang said, trying to offer some comfort without being sure it was truly consoling.

“Mmm, thank you, Chen Yang,” Yang Ruoxi managed, nodding her head as she lay in his embrace.

But her crying didn’t stop.

Chen Yang simply held her while she cried for a while before she finally calmed down.

“Stop crying, Ruoxi.

It’s all in the past now.

And I believe your dad loves you.

He did this because he thought it was for the best, and he will soon come to his senses,” Chen Yang continued to reassure her.

Everything Chen Yang had said before had little effect.

But upon hearing these words, Yang Ruoxi’s mood immediately lifted considerably.

“Mmm, you’re right, Dad just got carried away in the moment.

He will understand,” Yang Ruoxi said, wiping away her tears.

“Mmm, now that you know, don’t cry anymore.

Have a meal, then get a good night’s sleep, and forget what happened today!”

Chen Yang also reached out, helping Yang Ruoxi wipe the tears off her face.

After cleaning her face, Chen Yang went to the kitchen to cook, and then they ate together.

After the meal, Yang Ruoxi was still gloomy.

Chen Yang thought that taking Yang Ruoxi out for a walk might help improve her mood.

But as he was about to pull up the shutter door.

He saw two figures walking towards them on the village path.

Despite it being night, Chen Yang could see clearly.

It was Yang Tiancheng and Wu Kexin!

“He still hasn’t left!”

Seeing Yang Tiancheng approaching with his cane, Chen Yang’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

He subconsciously believed that Yang Tiancheng was not giving up and still wanted to forcibly take Yang Ruoxi away.

“Chen Yang, what are you looking at?”

Chen Yang could see, but Yang Ruoxi beside him could not see clearly.

Following Chen Yang’s gaze, she could only make out two dark figures.

“Who’s that?”

“That’s the village chief and your dad,”

Chen Yang replied.

“He hasn’t left?”

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi was very surprised.

At the same time, she subconsciously stepped back twice, hiding behind Chen Yang.

Soon after, Wu Kexin and Yang Tiancheng walked up to them.

When Yang Tiancheng walked up and glanced at Chen Yang, his gaze quickly shifted to the medical clinic behind Chen Yang.

He seemed to be sizing up Chen Yang’s home.

“Still not giving up?

Coming to snatch her again?”

As soon as Yang Tiancheng approached, Chen Yang did not give him a warm welcome.

Chen Yang couldn’t bring himself to respect someone like Yang Tiancheng.

But Yang Tiancheng was not angry.

“I’m not here to snatch anyone; I just want to have a proper talk with you and Ruoxi,”

Yang Tiancheng said evenly.

“Talk properly?”

Chen Yang’s face showed surprise, and he couldn’t help but glance at Wu Kexin beside Yang Tiancheng.

When Wu Kexin noticed Chen Yang’s look, she nodded, “Yes, Uncle Yang has come around and wants to have a proper talk with Ruoxi.”

Upon hearing Wu Kexin say this, Chen Yang let out a sigh of relief.

“It should have been like this from the start!

Marriage isn’t something where you can just decide who marries whom!

What era are we living in?”

Chen Yang criticized Yang Tiancheng, then stepped aside to reveal Yang Ruoxi, who was standing behind him.

“Go ahead and talk.”

Chen Yang’s tone normalized, curious to see how Yang Tiancheng intended to talk.

Once Chen Yang stepped aside, Yang Ruoxi was facing Yang Tiancheng.

After several seconds of eye contact, Yang Tiancheng spoke first.

“Ruoxi, Dad didn’t consider this matter thoroughly, I didn’t take your feelings into account, but I hope you can understand me a little, I did it for your own good,”

Yang Tiancheng said softly.

At these words, Yang Ruoxi, who had just been comforted by Chen Yang, suddenly started crying again.

“I know you want what’s best for me!

But I don’t like this kind of good!

I told you, I haven’t even met the man you want me to marry!

No matter what, I won’t be willing!”

Yang Ruoxi said through her tears.

“Yeah yeah!

I just talked with Miss Wu a bit, and indeed Dad was wrong.

Come back with me, Dad won’t force you to get married,”

Yang Tiancheng conceded, indicating he would no longer force Yang Ruoxi.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Really?”

Yang Tiancheng nodded seriously, “When has Dad ever lied to you?”

“That’s really great!

Since that’s the case, then I also agree to go back with you!”

Yang Ruoxi had a very quirky and oddball personality.

One second she was crying, and the next second, hearing she wouldn’t be forced into a marriage, she immediately laughed.

Yang Tiancheng looked at Yang Ruoxi, who instantly smiled and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“But I’ve made a concession, so you must also agree to a condition.”

Yang Tiancheng smiled, then suddenly said this.

Upon hearing there was a condition, Yang Ruoxi immediately stopped smiling and asked, “What condition?”

Yang Tiancheng glanced at Chen Yang beside him, “That is, you can’t keep in touch with Chen Yang.”

“No!”

As soon as the words left Yang Tiancheng’s mouth, Yang Ruoxi almost instantly rejected the idea without a second thought.

“Impossible!

I can’t possibly stop seeing Chen Yang!”

Yang Ruoxi was very adamant, as one could see from her expression; there was no room for negotiation.

Chen Yang, who had heard Yang Tiancheng’s words, also looked grim.

However, he did not speak, as there was nothing he could say at this moment.

This was a conversation between Yang Tiancheng and Yang Ruoxi, and he had no right to interject.
