<h4>Chapter 419: How About We Give Up For Now?</h4>


    Back at the hotel, the resort manager had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. This meal was finally a proper one, and Yang Chen didn''t get a chance to showcase his cooking skills.


    An Xin, trying to ingratiate herself, frequently toasted Lin Ruoxi with juice, clearly still shaken by Lin Ruoxi''s intense determination.


    Lin Ruoxi was still preupied, seemingly pondering why she couldn''t hit the toy. She was peeling salt and pepper shrimp but identally peeled off the shrimp meat, which made the frugal Hui Lin feel quite distressed.


    Yang Chen, munching on a piece of Japanese grilled eel, looked at the somewhat foolish-looking Lin Ruoxi andughed, "Wife, be honest, back in school, besides always failing music ss, you must have also failed PE every year, right? Your athletic talent is just too poor."


    "What does this have to do with PE ss?" Lin Ruoxi''s pretty face turned red. The truth was she had never met the standard in PE ss, but she would never admit that in front of An Xin and Hui Lin.


    An Xin blinked curiously and asked, "Sister Ruoxi, why did you fail music ss?"


    Lin Ruoxi remained silent, pretending not to hear.


    Yang Chen interjected to help, "Because she was toozy to attend sses or take exams."


    "Oh," An Xin, still somewhat disbelieving, didn''t press further.


    After dinner, the four didn''t n on doing anything more. Lin Ruoxi quietly returned to her room first, carrying that small stic basket of colorful stic balls. Anyone could guess what she intended to do.


    "Hui Lin, your sister is terrifying," An Xin shivered, whispering.


    Hui Lin''s delicate face showed a hint of helplessness. She pouted and said, "My sister isn''t usually like this. It might be because you''re here today."


    "I knew I shouldn''t have hit the toy. It would have saved her from insisting on hitting it herself," An Xin pouted.


    Yang Chen walked over and pinched An Xin''s cheek, "Stop overthinking. Go rest early with Hui Lin. We''ll hang around tomorrow and then head back to Zhonghai."


    After sending the two girls back to their rooms, Yang Chen returned to his and Lin Ruoxi''s room.


    As soon as he entered, he saw Lin Ruoxi, wearing cotton slippers and a thin pink sweater, throwing a few stic balls at a small leather bag ced by the bedside.


    Seeing Yang Chen enter, Lin Ruoxi was slightly startled. She quickly put the stic balls back in the basket and tidied her hair, pretending nothing had happened.


    Obviously, Lin Ruoxi herself knew how ridiculous it was to practice such a thing alone in the room.


    "I''m going to take a shower," Lin Ruoxi said, grabbing her prepared clothes and hurriedly running into the bathroom.


    Yang Chen didn''tugh at her. He sat on the sofa and watched TV for over half an hour. When Lin Ruoxi finished her shower and came out, he asked, "Do you need me to sleep on the sofa tonight?"


    4o


    Lin Ruoxi was holding a dry towel, gently wiping her damp hair. Her rosy cheeks looked so tender they seemed like they could drip juice. Hearing Yang Chen''s question, she responded with a puzzled look, "Why do you ask?"


    "I thought you might be afraid I''d misbehave and wouldn''t let me share the bed with you," Yang Chen said with a smile.


    A wave of inexplicable sadness and bitterness washed over Lin Ruoxi.


    Even though they were a legitimate married couple, her husband naturally assumed she would make him sleep on the sofa, despite there being two beds avable. Was she too cruel to him on a daily basis? She often med him for seeking other women, perhapsrgely because she wasn''t willing to be close to him herself.


    Lin Ruoxi gracefully walked over to Yang Chen and sat down beside him on the sofa. Under the pale white light, she seemed like a delicate white lotus emerging enchantingly from clear water, making Yang Chen''s eyes dazzle.


    "How about we try it tonight?" Lin Ruoxi bit her lip, suddenly looking determined.


    Yang Chen didn''t understand at first. "Try what?"


    Lin Ruoxi tried hard not to lower her head or let her voice drop, her blush spreading to her neck. "I mean the kind of thing that happens between a husband and wife."


    Yang Chen suddenly realized, feeling both shocked and incredulous. Seeing Lin Ruoxi''s struggle, he couldn''t help butugh, "Ruoxi darling, I was just asking if I could sleep in the bed. I didn''t mean anything else. You don''t have to force yourself to do this. It''s normal for Mom to want a grandchild, but it''s not something we have to do right away. I can talk to her about it."


    "No, it''s not that," Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "I want to try it myself. I''m a bit scared, but I don''t want to lose to anyone."


    Yang Chen nearly fell over. This girl even viewed intimacy as apetition? Was she so stimted today that she wanted to reim some ground by trying this as well?


    "What are you thinking about?" Lin Ruoxi said dissatisfied. "I''m a woman and I''m not afraid. Aren''t you usually very open? Why are you hesitating now?"


    Yang Chen pped his thigh. "What''s there to hesitate about? As long as you''re willing, I''ll be happy to be with my wife!"


    "You... you shouldn''t speak so crudely! What do you mean... what do you mean... be with?" Lin Ruoxi''s cheeks turned bright red, scolding him angrily. Even though she knew from the beginning that this man was crude, she couldn''t help trying to change him, though with little sess. Yang Chenughed heartily, "I''ve told you I''m not very cultured. As my wife, please bear with it. So, shall we get started?"


    "Aren''t you going to take a shower?" Lin Ruoxi, growing nervous but not forgetting about hygiene, asked softly.


    "Aiyah, if you hadn''t reminded me, I almost forgot about the lingering smell ofmb on me. I''ll be right back. You wait under the covers," Yang Chen said, feeling his anticipation heat up. He never expected Lin Ruoxi to proactively suggest sharing a bed tonight. He thought he''d have to wait another half a year or so for this moment; happiness indeed came unexpectedly.


    With newfound motivation, Yang Chen''s shower was swift. In less than five minutes, he emerged from the bathroom, his body still slightly damp, wearing only a pair of briefs—he figured he''d better not overwhelm her all at once.


    He saw Lin Ruoxi carefully climbing into bed, wearing only a moon-white silk nightgown. Her snow-white skin, faintly visible beneath the fabric,bined with her enchanting curves, made Yang Chen''s mouth go dry.


    Yang Chen watched, swallowing hard, as Lin Ruoxi moved under the covers. The sight of her slender, graceful form made the mes in his heart burn even brighter.


    Noticing Yang Chen''s intense gaze, Lin Ruoxi instinctively shrank back a bit. But remembering that she had been the one to suggest trying this, she gritted her teeth, then gracefully stretched out on the white sheets, closing her sparkling eyes.


    Yang Chen took a deep breath. From his angle, even with Lin Ruoxi lying t, her neck, glowing white against the contrast of her loose, inky ck hair, was breathtakingly beautiful.


    Slowly, Yang Chen climbed onto the bed, his eyes tracing from Lin Ruoxi''s delicate ankles upward.


    Lin Ruoxi''s figure was taller and more elegant than Rose or Mo Qianni, meeting the standards of a model. At the same time, her fullness did not pale inparison to the other women Yang Chen had known. In fact, it was more urate to say she had a perfect proportion.


    Yang Chen had to admire his own self-control. Despite having such an exceptional beauty by his side, he had restrained himself until now. The thought that he was the one to take her first time filled him with pride.


    Yang Chen gently pressed down on Lin Ruoxi, his nose close to her delicate neck, inhaling her enchanting jasmine scent. This simple act made the already tense Lin Ruoxi tremble.


    Her face turned crimson, and she opened her moist, beautiful eyes, looking as if she might melt into a puddle of spring water in Yang Chen''s hands.


    Seeing the tears welling up in Lin Ruoxi''s eyes, Yang Chen, thinking she felt wronged, hesitated and said, "How about we stop for now? You don''t seem ready."


    To be honest, saying this out loud, Yang Chen had to admire his own restraint.


    But Lin Ruoxi shook her head. "I-I can do it. Go on..."


    Without further words, Yang Chen kissed her deeply, trying to ease his inexperienced wife''s nervousness through the kiss, while his free hand began to explore...
