Chapter 10 Do you have enough money to spend
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 07:05:33 +0000 UTC"What a shitty woman."
Yang Chen was very angry. If it were the old him, he wouldn't feel like this, but he wasn't the old him anymore.
With a mix of three existences, the new Yang Chen was born.
Yang Chen was about to leave the coffee shop. Then he heard someone shouting from the second floor.
With his sense of hearing above that of a normal human He could hear it clearly.
"Miss Lin! Please, don't do that!"
"Don't jump, Miss Rin!"
He heard all of that, and he knew what the shitty woman wanted to do. She was going to jump from the second floor!
The coffee shop only had two floors, but the first floor was so tall that it could be compared to a three-story building. If someone as delicate as her jumps from such heights, She would die, for sure.
"Shit"
Yang Chen didn't go to the second floor but instead went outside. And when he went out of the coffee shop, he saw that Lin Ruoxi was indeed standing on the edge of the second-floor balcony, her face filled with despair.
The wind was blowing fiercely, making it even more dangerous for her to jump.
Yang Chen's heart hurts so much. It was like someone squeezed it to force him to save her.
'Even if you didn't squeeze my heart, I am going to help her anyway.'
Then it stopped. He sighed and looked at Lin Ruoxi again.
Her hair was whipping around in the wind, and tears streamed down her face. The desperation in her eyes was unbearable for Yang Chen to witness.
Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes, then jumped off the balcony. She really wanted to kill herself.
In that split second, Yang Chen's instincts kicked in, and he lunged forward. He stepped on the wall of the coffee shop, then propelled himself towards Lin Ruoxi, grabbing her just in time to prevent her from falling to her death. He held onto her tightly.
When he reached the ground, there was only a gentle sound of his foot landing on the pavement. Relief flooded over Yang Chen as he realized he had saved Lin Ruoxi's life.
"What the hell are you thinking?"
"*sob* I am sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I am really sorry."
Yang Chen sighed. He didn't know what was inside this woman's head, but something told him to listen to her more. There might be something much more complex going on than meets the eye. He decided to put aside his frustration and try to understand her better.
“Alright, don’t cry. I accepted your apology. Now let's find somewhere we could talk more about this.”
Lin Ruoxi nodded, wiping away her tears. She was thankful for Yang Chen's willingness to listen and was grateful for his forgiveness.
As he searched for a quiet place to talk, she couldn't do anything except hug him while he carried her around.
At that moment, Lin Ruoxi felt a sense of comfort and security in Yang Chen's embrace. This was the first time she felt something like this.
Yang Chen brought her to a quiet place, then let her go. They then sat down face-to-face again.
Lin Ruoxi’s teary beautiful face could attract unlimited sympathy. She took out a tissue and wiped her face, then forcefully endured. With a pair of red eyes she looked at Yang Chen and said.
"I will tell you everything, but can you help me please?"
This time, he could feel that she was genuinely asking for his help. Not like the first time that she wanted to buy him. This pleased him much more than before.
"Well, I will listen to it again to see if I want to help you or not. But please keep this in mind if you want to die this time. I won't help you again."
Yang Chen's words were stern, yet there was a glimmer of compassion in his eyes.
He had seen the pain and desperation in her red eyes, and it had touched something within him. She nodded.
Lin Ruoxi then explained her circumstances. And she asked for his help again politely. This time, Yang Chen smiled brightly.
"Alright, that is how you ask for help; as for money, I don't want it, but I want you to do me a favor instead. Is that alright? and I promise you that it isn't something that was too much."
Yang Chen wanted her to help him with herbs and plants, that's all. As for money, he was confident that he could find it himself.
Lin Ruoxi agreed to his condition immediately, and then she pulled out a paper to write the contract. She was a businesswoman, so everything couldn't be done just verbally. And Yang Chen understood.
He respected her professionalism and knew that having a written agreement would ensure clarity and avoid any misunderstandings.
“So when are we going to sign the marriage paper?”
Yang Chen asked and Lin Ruoxi answered.
“Tomorrow morning, I will pick you up at your place. And–It might be rude of me but do you have enough money to spend?”
This time Yang Chen could only smile dryly. No, he only has a few yuan on him right now. He didn’t even have time to s
ell his mutton skewer before the policemen came and brought him to the police station.
