I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Why do people always say that ignorance is bliss?

Having an excessive thirst for knowledge is definitely not a good thing.

This is not.

Someone who was originally free and could have had a leisurely day off was forced to act as a driver because of their inquisitive nature, while the assistant who was supposed to pick them up was given the day off.

no way.

Now that we know, we can't just let them go by themselves.

It doesn't matter if they have no official title or status, but they can't be too biased.

As Mr. Jiang drove out of the residential compound, his mind was in turmoil. In contrast, the stunningly beautiful woman in the passenger seat remained as serene as a virgin.

"Why are you suddenly thinking about taking care of your health?"

After several hesitations, the person finally spoke, turning their head and asking in a seemingly casual manner.

"I heard from Li'er that you're trying to conceive?"

Geddon!

Mr. Jiang's heartbeat was transmitted to his hands, causing the steering wheel to veer off course, almost swerving into the green belt.

"Be careful."

Pei Yunxi reminded her.

Jiang Chen quickly straightened the steering wheel, but he couldn't calm down.

No wonder.

Needless to say.

It must have been Li Shurui who told Luo Li'er that night while they were drinking.

In historical dramas, palace intrigue has always been an indispensable and important part.

Jiang Chen was at his wit's end; his outstanding reasoning and language skills had completely vanished at this moment.

"Doesn't she already know about us? What's she so nervous about?"

"..."

Instead, they comforted him.

Jiang Chen declined to comment, staring straight ahead, and braced himself to speak frankly about the matter at hand: "These kinds of things are all about letting things take their natural course."

Pei Yunxi remained silent.

Jiang Chen tilted his head. "Do you really want to be a mother?"

"Don't you want to?"

Pei Yunxi also turned her head, her expression calm and composed, "If you don't want to, why bother trying to conceive?"

"..."

Mr. Jiang's eyelids twitched, and he immediately looked away, focusing on the traffic ahead and driving safely.

What I mean is, you're still young, there's no need to rush.

"I'm not in a hurry. But my parents are."

Jiang Chen was speechless again.

Every word the other party said seemed gentle and mild, but its actual destructive power was astonishing.

He had witnessed the attitude of Pei Linhan and his wife firsthand; they had probably knitted several sets of baby clothes by hand.

"...Are you really planning to have a child and leave it with your parents?"

The lips moved slightly; the person knew that things had come to this point and there was no going back.

"Otherwise what? You'll marry me?"

QuadraKill!

Another game-winning shot.

Seemingly aware that the other party might not be able to handle it, Pei Yunxi then smiled gently and said, "Just kidding, don't mind it."

Mr. Jiang forced a smile; in this situation, all he could do was offer a bitter laugh.

"So how do you plan to explain this to your parents?"

"Once they have children, they have no choice but to accept it."

"This must be a joke, right?"

"Oh."

Pei Yunxi laughed, her smile captivating. "You've dealt with my parents before; they're a bit more astute than the average parent. Since Li'er can understand, they must be too."

"They might accept it, but they might not be happy about it."

Jiang Chen said softly.

Pei Yunxi's curves remained unchanged, exuding a sense of detachment and clarity.

"Or, if you want to go all the way, you'll have to come home again."

"What?"

Jiang Chen asked very seriously.

"Let's get married."

Fortunately, this time I gripped the steering wheel tightly.

"You did a pretty good job last time, so this kind of role shouldn't be too challenging for you."

Jiang Chen was both amused and exasperated. Although he knew the other person was "teasing" him, he didn't rush to ruin the moment and instead played along, asking, "And then?"

"Then get a divorce. That way it's perfectly legitimate, and everyone's happy."

"Why not just make a green glove?"

Boss Jiang was indeed aware of the situation.

"Didn't you try? You messed it up."

Was that a mess?

That's because they didn't take it seriously at all.

"Or do you want to rearrange things?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. Regardless of whether the other party was testing him, he would not take this approach again.

"Green gloves are for fooling the masses, not for dealing with your closest relatives. Your parents have been good to me; if I were to deceive them like this, wouldn't I be worse than an animal?"

"I'd rather be a beast."

Someone said again.

Pei Yunxi smiled and said, "Your assessment is very fair."

Jiang Chen grinned, then slowly exhaled, "You're really not afraid at all?"

"What am I afraid of? You're already willing to be a beast, so at worst I'll just pin all the blame on you. I'll say you were lustful, a beast in human form, and that I was coerced and tempted, and that I had no choice in the matter."

"..."

In the rearview mirror, someone's face twitched as they looked at the windshield and said shamelessly, "I think we're mutually attracted and in love."

"unimportant."

Pei Yunxi looked out the window.

Is it really not important?

If it weren't important, this most beautiful lotus in the entertainment industry would never have been picked by him.

of course.

The other person's personality means they don't like talking about love.

Do you know what Li'er's destiny is?

Jiang Chen changed the subject, "Liuli showed it to her this morning."

"What kind?"

Pei Yunxi indeed became interested.

"She is destined to live a life of ease and comfort, able to reap without sowing and have everything go smoothly."

"real or fake?"

Pei Yunxi was surprised.

Jiang Chen chuckled: "Really. Her family wasn't bad off when she was young. After growing up, your older sister became a star. In college, she won first place and was named the school beauty, becoming the dream of countless boys. After graduation, while others were sending out resumes and going for interviews everywhere, her annual salary reached 60 yuan. And it was all because of her own interests. She could go wherever she wanted and skip work whenever she wanted. Isn't that being blessed with good fortune and being born with a good life?"

"Anything else?"

Pei Yunxi asked.

"What else?"

"You only looked at the birth chart? You didn't look at anything else?"

Jiang Chen tilted his head. "For example?"

"For example, marriage."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

really.

Whether she's a goddess or a crazy woman, it's inevitable that most women will be interested in this kind of thing.

"I haven't looked into her marriage prospects. Given her fate, her love life is bound to be good too." Jiang Chen gripped the steering wheel, following the navigation's path. "You don't need to worry about that. I'll oversee any boyfriends this girl chooses in the future, and I'll make sure she's not deceived."

"Should I thank you?"

Jiang Chen kept his eyes straight ahead and said, "Of course."

Pei Yunxi looked straight ahead, "If her future boyfriend treats her badly, I'll use her as a sacrifice."

Mr. Jiang felt a chill.

How brutal.

Also.

There's no need for him to meddle.

The older sister is no longer a budding flower surrounded by wolves; she has grown into a "Black Mountain Demon."

Slapping a few mortals to death is no different than slapping ants.

I can only hope that the girl will meet a kinder man in the future, otherwise she might really be turned into a human pig.

Chengxu Lu.

Although it was Jiang Chen's first time here, he had heard of this place.

They have stores in eight or nine out of ten first- and second-tier cities.

There aren't many pharmacies nationwide that have reached a market value of over two billion yuan.

"Mr. Jiang."

The young master personally greeted her. She was around thirty years old, with an oval face, a soft and full jawline, neither sharp nor thin, with well-proportioned bones and flesh, and gentle and warm eyebrows and eyes. Her eyebrows were smoothly curved with a gentle peak and elegant color. Her pupils were clear and bright, with slightly upturned corners that were not cunning. Her eye bags were full and clear. Even if Boss Jiang didn't know how to read faces, he could tell at a glance that this girl, like Luo Li'er, was a person who was born with good fortune.

wrong.

Where is the girl?

They just come from a family of doctors and know how to maintain their health; that's why they look young.

It should be a woman.

"Jiang Yining".

Jiang Chen wasn't surprised at all that he recognized him. He then extended his hand, saying, "I didn't expect we were from the same clan."

"Isn't that right?"

The young mistress of Chengxu House has a very friendly smile and is neither arrogant nor humble. Although she comes from a family of doctors with three generations of medical expertise, she is also very good at interpersonal relationships. After all, whether you run a hospital or a pharmacy, technical skills are not the most important factor.

"I can just go directly to your place, why do you have to make the trip yourself?"

After greeting Jiang Chen, she turned her gaze to Pei Yunxi, clearly indicating that the two were quite familiar with each other.

If Pei Yunxi wasn't familiar with him, she wouldn't have chosen this place.

If this gets out, it will be earth-shattering.

"I know the rule that doctors don't knock on doors."

The two people, who shared the same surname, both smiled.

"Mr. Jiang, Yunxi, please come in."

To achieve a market capitalization of several billion, one can imagine the scale of this pharmacy. Upon entering, the first impression is elegance, the second is spaciousness, and the third is fragrance. The refreshing and delicate aroma of agarwood, wild ginseng, and poria cocos fills the air, invigorating the senses and purifying any chaotic thoughts. The floor is paved with old bluestone, polished to a mirror-like finish, with neat lines and spotless appearance. On both sides, the antique display shelves are made entirely of golden nanmu wood, with layered, translucent display cases neatly categorized, all containing priceless and authentic medicinal materials. The labels are marked in small silver characters with the place of origin, year, and ancient processing method.

In the premium section, a century-old wild ginseng lies neatly in a brocade box with a soft cushion in an independent elegant room, its reeds intact and its texture vigorous; the cordyceps are thick and golden, each root standing upright; the bird's nest and snow swallow are translucent and lustrous; the amber and donkey-hide gelatin are solidified and oily; the rhinoceros horn and lingzhi are naturally shaped. Each item is accompanied by a jade plaque for tracing its origin and a collector's seal passed down through generations.

The dispensing hall was clean and solemn. The experienced pharmacists, dressed in plain cotton and linen uniforms, moved with steady fingers, using the ancient copper scales with exquisite precision. Blue and white porcelain medicine jars were arranged in an orderly fashion. Inside the hall, there were private consultation rooms with sandalwood tables and chairs covered with soft velvet. On the tables were celadon teacups, ancient herbal books, and warm pulse pillows. The doctors who were seeing patients had kind eyes and a graceful demeanor, which felt much more welcoming than the white coats in hospitals.

Perhaps because Pei Yunxi's arrival had cleared the area in advance, there were only a few guests, and their elegant attire greatly reduced the risk of privacy exposure.

Without immediately consulting a doctor, Jiang Yining led the two to an antique-style reception room and served them tea.

As expected of a pharmacy with fifty years of history, their tea is truly unique. It's definitely not made from simple tea leaves; there must be something mixed in. After drinking it, I felt warm and refreshed all over, and my spirits were lifted.

"Good tea."

After taking a sip, Mr. Jiang shared his thoughts.

"Mr. Jiang, can you tell what kind of tea this is?"

Jiang Chen shook his head decisively. In front of outsiders, he still cared about his image. Pretending to know what he didn't would only make him a laughing stock.

"This is a medicinal tea exclusively developed by Chengxulu."

"Medicinal tea?"

"Correct."

Jiang Yining smiled and explained, "Mr. Jiang, can you taste which ingredients have been added?"

Boss Jiang didn't answer. Instead, he lowered his head, took another sip as if to look serious, and then said, "I can't taste it."

"He's a businessman."

Pei Yunxi spoke up.

“I know Mr. Jiang is a businessman, and isn’t the hospital part of Mr. Jiang’s business?”

It seems this relative knows him quite well.

Jiang Chen wasn't proud, just a little sentimental.

When I was a child, sitting in a primary school classroom reciting poems and prose, unable to go home until I finished, I certainly never imagined that I would one day reach a point where "everyone in the world knows you."

"Job's tears are definitely present."

The young master of Chengxu Lu, whose name contains the character "苡" (yi), which is taken from this medicinal herb, immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is cheating."

Jiang Chen smiled without saying a word, swirled his teacup, and took another sip. "I'm not an expert in tea ceremony, but this tea is truly excellent."

"If Mr. Jiang likes it, I will send him a few boxes later. It won't prolong his life, but it will have the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit."

"I thought Miss Jiang would give me the formula."

“I don’t have that right. The recipe for this tea was developed by my grandfather, and later improved by my uncles. I have no right to dispose of it.”

Jiang Chen looked regretful. "What a pity."

"If Mr. Jiang is willing to acquire it, we can discuss it."

There's a reason why such a large family business would be handed over to a woman.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Chengxu Lu has been passed down for fifty years, with stores all over major cities. It makes a fortune every day. Would we be short of money?"

"Compared to Mr. Jiang, this is nothing. Any one of Mr. Jiang's businesses is worth several Chengxulu businesses."

Mr. Jiang smiled modestly, then suddenly had an idea pop into his head.

Compared to Western medicine.

He prefers traditional Chinese medicine, a local cultural tradition.

and so.

If I absolutely have to take it, I wonder if there are any alternatives to sildenafil here?
At least traditional Chinese medicine doesn't have side effects.

However, it's not convenient to ask now.

"Yunxi, what's wrong?"

I've finally remembered the main point.

This young master is a marketing expert in dealing with people, but he certainly hasn't mastered the family's traditional skills.

If someone were seriously ill and delayed for half a day, they would be in serious trouble.

of course,

If someone had a sudden illness, they would definitely be taken to the hospital, not here.

"I don't feel unwell anywhere. I'd like to get some medicine to regulate my body."

"Poor sleep? Or feeling tired and weak?"

Pei Yunxi shook her head.

"Let me show you."

The young master, who was deemed an outsider by someone, seems to be going to take charge himself.

"Can you?"

Someone couldn't help but speak up.

That's a bit impolite.

The person turned their head and said, "Huh?"

Pei Yunxi definitely knew the other party's background, so she ignored him, rolled up her sleeves, and raised her wrist.

The young master of Chengxu Lu, who didn't seem like a doctor at all, placed his fingers on her radial artery pulse, focused his mind, and acted professionally, as if the pulse would come in an instant.

Mr. Jiang immediately overturned his previous judgment.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving.

"You're in good health, there's nothing wrong with you."

"Are there any remedies that can help with fertility?"

Truly a straightforward and outspoken person.

"what--?"

They were dumbfounded again.

Mr. Jiang casually put down his teacup. "I'm going out for a walk." (End of Chapter)
