Chapter 226: Absolutely Not

In the living room, bright lights cast a soft, tranquil glow on the light-colored sofa.

Yang Chen walked in slowly and stopped abruptly, staring in surprise. There, curled up on the sofa like a little kitten, was Lin Ruoxi, wearing cotton pajamas. Her hair fell gently over one side of her face, facing the direction of the door.

Despite the automatic temperature control in the room, the warmth was insufficient for someone asleep. Lin Ruoxi, feeling cold in her slumber, had tightly hugged herself, her lips slightly pale from the chill, evoking a sense of pity.

Warmth filled Yang Chen's heart, mixed with amusement and exasperation. She had been so resolute during the day, yet here she was, waiting for him in the middle of the night. This woman's thoughts were truly unfathomable.
