Chapter 417: Each with Their Own Tension

Lin Ruoxi's sudden "favor" had surprised Yang Chen greatly, but her words, "I'll go too," left him dumbfounded.

On the other side, Liu Mingyu saw Yang Chen's widened eyes and his bewildered expression. His phone had even dropped to the ground, making her wonder if he was under some sort of spell.

"Are you alright?" Liu Mingyu asked with concern.

Yang Chen picked up his phone from the ground, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and continued speaking to Lin Ruoxi on the other end, "Uh... darling, honey, are you feeling unwell today? It's not like you!"

Lin Ruoxi coldly replied, "I care about the employees' extracurricular activities. Can't I participate in some events with them? Or is there something you don't want me to see?"

Yang Chen hurriedly responded, "Absolutely not! I'm delighted that you're going." He chuckled bitterly.

"Then it's settled. You pick me up after work, I'll call you," Lin Ruoxi said before hanging up directly.
