298: Chapter 298 Feast on a Grand al 298: Chapter 298 Feast on a Grand al Seeing Wu Kexin’s directness, Chen Yang smiled and then recounted the phone call from Li Han today and Yang Ruoxi’s reactions, sharing everything that had happened.
Wu Kexin’s mood had been quite good, her face full of smiles.
But upon hearing that Yang Ruoxi had been very emotional and even cried, her brow furrowed with concern.
After the past few days of interaction, her relationship with Yang Ruoxi had beco as close as sisters.’
Now, knowing Yang Ruoxi was like this, she naturally beca very worried.
“Ruoxi’s mood is very strange, and I can’t seem to get any insider details out of her, so I was hoping that by inviting you to dinner, you could have a one-on-one chat with her to see if you can find out what’s going on,” Chen Yang said.
“After all, it’s her family matter.
Her dad is coming over tomorrow, and I can’t exactly stop him from taking Ruoxi away, can I?”
“We need to fully understand the situation before we can think of a solution.”
After Chen Yang explained the situation, he also made his intentions clear.
After hearing everything, Wu Kexin imdiately stood up and agreed.
“I already treat Ruoxi like a sister, so naturally, I will help her with her troubles.
Let’s go over right now,” she said decisively.
Having said that, Wu Kexin walked out from her office desk, grabbed Chen Yang, and hurried to the clinic.
Seeing her like this, just as worried about Yang Ruoxi as Chen Yang was, it was clear she also wanted to help resolve Ruoxi’s problems.
Chen Yang and Wu Kexin returned to the clinic, where Yang Ruoxi was in the kitchen boiling water.
As soon as she saw Chen Yang and Wu Kexin co back together, her previously lackluster face instantly lit up with excitent and joy.
“Kexin!
You ca so quickly!”
Yang Ruoxi stood up excitedly and hugged Wu Kexin.
“Yes, Ruoxi, Chen Yang ntioned wanting hotpot, so I thought to co over and help out.
I can’t always just eat without pitching in, right?” Wu Kexin said, her face brimming with a smile, seemingly unaware of Yang Ruoxi’s family issues.
“Haha, that’s right, with your help, it should go much faster.”
Yang Ruoxi laughed happily.
Seeing Wu Kexin’s arrival cheer up Yang Ruoxi so quickly made Chen Yang feel much better too.
“Let’s forget about it, you two go sit in the room.
I’ll handle everything in the kitchen by myself; I can manage alone,” Chen Yang chuckled.
“How could we do that?
If you’re busy by yourself, who knows how long it’ll take.
Kexin and I will help you,” Yang Ruoxi imdiately turned and said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang laughed again, then with a look of mock displeasure said, “You don’t know how to do anything, how can you help ?
Better to sit in the room and wait to eat after I’ve finished preparing everything.”
Seeing that her good intentions to help were not appreciated, Yang Ruoxi also showed a bit of a temper.
She huffed, “Fine, I’ll sit.
Trying to help out of kindness and it’s not even wanted, then I won’t help.”
With another huff, Yang Ruoxi then imdiately took Wu Kexin’s hand, “Kexin, let’s go.
Let him be busy by himself; we won’t help him.”
Saying this, she pulled Wu Kexin away to another room.
Chen Yang watched them go with a smile and a shake of his head, then carried the wild chicken to the backyard.
It had been Chen Yang’s intention all along not to have Yang Ruoxi help.
Only by having the two won alone in the room could Wu Kexin have the opportunity to counsel Yang Ruoxi and find out what was really going on.
Otherwise, if it had been any other ti, and the two won offered to help, Chen Yang probably wouldn’t have been able to stop smiling from ear to ear.
“I hope the village chief can find out sothing; otherwise, when her father, the wealthy Mr.
Yang, arrives tomorrow, the situation will surely be awkward,” he mused.
Chen Yang shook his head as he moved to the backyard, then transferred all the hot water Yang Ruoxi had boiled earlier out there.
Then, he began to work.
Slaughtering the chicken, scalding it, plucking the feathers, and removing the innards—Chen Yang did it all with practiced ease.
With the frequent feasts every few days, it was impossible not to beco proficient.
Chen Yang gave all the cleaned entrails to Brother Diao, then carried the clean wild chicken back to the kitchen.
He chopped it up and prepared the seasoning.
Chen Yang busied himself with the process, which took more than an hour.
Seeing that the seasoning was ready and the at had been cut into pieces, Chen Yang started boiling water in a pot.
Then he put the seasonings and at chunks into the pot to cook.
“Boil it on high heat for an hour, and the at will be absolutely delicious!”
Chen Yang added a couple of handfuls of firewood to the stove with a smile, then turned and left the kitchen to head towards the entrance of the village.
As usual, he bought so chilled drinks from Uncle Niu’s house to take back.
“Last ti Ni Zi was ho, she wanted to buy a refrigerator, but then forgot.
Looks like when I have ti I should really go buy one.
Otherwise, in this hot sumr, it’s all so inconvenient,”
Chen Yang mused, holding the chilled drinks while he walked.
It was now past five in the afternoon, nearly six o’clock.
The sun at the horizon was beginning to set, and the villagers who had been busy around were returning ho one after another with their farming tools.
As he passed the entrance of the village, those who saw Chen Yang invariably greeted him enthusiastically.
“Yang Zi, buying so much beer, do you have guests at ho?”
When Wang Hong passed by Chen Yang, she asked curiously.
Chen Yang looked at her.
Today, Wang Hong was dressed very simply, in a typical outfit of a rural woman working in the fields.
It was just that the fiery red nail polish on her toenails and fingernails added a touch of allure.
“Yeah, Auntie Wang, we have guests at ho,”
Chen Yang said with a sly grin, giving Wang Hong a once-over before nodding.
Seeing Chen Yang’s sly smile, Wang Hong knew what he was thinking.
But since Chen Yang didn’t make it too obvious, naturally, she couldn’t say much.
She could only roll her eyes at him and then asked with a smile, “So, who’s the guest?
Is it those two girls from the city?”
Chen Yang nodded again, “It’s them, but just one of them.”
“You lucky fellow, both of those girls are quite pretty.
Could you let Auntie Wang know, which one is it?”
Wang Hong’s expression beca suggestive when she heard only one of them was there.
It was only then that Chen Yang realized what Wang Hong was thinking.
“Auntie Wang, don’t get the wrong idea, we are just friends, nothing more,”
Chen Yang calmly explained.
However, such an explanation was hardly credible to Wang Hong.
“Alright, alright, how could I not understand you, young man?
Always full of naughty thoughts.
Having such a pretty girl over at your place by herself?
Aren’t you going to take advantage of her?”
Wang Hong’s expression was still very suggestive.
This left Chen Yang feeling sowhat embarrassed, so he tried to change the subject by turning it back on Wang Hong.
“Auntie Wang, what you said isn’t right.
I am a very proper man, alright?
Look at us, we’ve spent so much ti alone together, and I haven’t ‘eaten’ you, have I?”
Now the topic had shifted, and it was Chen Yang’s turn to wear a sly smile.
Wang Hong’s cheeks instantly flushed red.
Discussing such matters while walking along the village road, especially about themselves…
Even if Wang Hong didn’t care, she still felt awkward, didn’t she?
“You young man, not only are you full of naughty ideas, but your mouth is also quite sharp.
I’m not going to chat with you anymore, I still have to go cut grass for your farm!”
Wang Hong glared at Chen Yang with a flushed face, then hurriedly quickened her pace, wanting to leave the place with her hoe in tow.
