I have ten trillion licking dog gold

When the two returned to Chunqiu Hua Mansion, it was already more than two hours later.

Based on the distance, it should only take about half an hour by car.

No one knows where the extra time went.

Maybe.

Is it because of traffic jams?
Even though it's not rush hour or evening rush hour, traffic jams are still not allowed.
The smell of gunpowder has been replaced by the smell of Chinese medicine.

Ok.

Boss Jiang was definitely not a heartless person. Instead of abandoning them and retreating, he followed them into the house and personally cooked the medicinal herbs he had brought back from Chengxu Lodge.

Do you have any honey?

The medicine was boiling on the stove when Boss Jiang opened the refrigerator.

"No."

Pei Yunxi took off her coat and walked in gracefully, revealing her curves and long, black hair. For some reason, she seemed even more beautiful than usual.

Oh.

Perhaps it's because of his complexion.

It is smooth and delicate, with a subtle pinkish fluorescence.

He doesn't look like someone who needs to take medicine at all.

"That might be a little bitter."

Jiang Chen turned off the refrigerator.

What's going on?

Why are you being so gentle all of a sudden?

"It's okay. I can endure hardship."

Pei Yunxi's reaction was also quite unusual, with a faint smile on her lips. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had been possessed.

Mr. Jiang leaned against the refrigerator and sighed, "You're the type who's just making things difficult for yourself."

"It will always be of some help."

It really is a domino effect.

One or two have started an "arms race".

Of course.

For a woman, it's not a big deal; she might just take some traditional Chinese medicine. But for him, it's a bitter pill to swallow.

Happiness is happiness.

An hour ago, that feeling was intoxicating, like being in heaven.

It is far better than drugs.

It was really tiring.

Fortunately.

You're still young.

Otherwise, with such high intensity, it's not certain that we would be able to withstand it.

As the ancients said, "There is no land that is over-plowed, only oxen that die from overwork."

"I think it's best to let things take their natural course."

Let nature take its course?

Pei Yunxi said, "That's not what you said just now."

Mr. Jiang was embarrassed, but then he reached out and, as if to punish him, slapped the buttocks that countless people coveted and fantasized about.

"Don't provoke me."

Pei Yunxi didn't dodge at all, taking the blow without moving, and asked earnestly and innocently, "What will happen if I provoke you?"

The professionalism of the freeze-frame actor was fully demonstrated at this moment; from his eyes to his expression, it was impeccable.

The outwardly fierce but inwardly weak Boss Jiang gritted his teeth, "You've never even tried working in a kitchen before, have you?"

The other person shook their head seriously, "No. Have you tried it?"

It's the exact same sentence structure again.

The person didn't have a headache, but rather a backache, or more accurately, a sore back.

After all, even the most luxurious car can't compare to the spaciousness of a bed. With limited room to move around, there aren't many positions to choose from, which puts a great strain on a man's core strength.

However, he is definitely no match for Boss Jiang. If it weren't for Li Shurui's recent exploitation, he would have performed even better.

"If that girl comes back and sees this, you'll be in deep trouble."

Back pain is a real problem, but as a man, I can't just admit it. Sometimes, being a third wheel can be a shield.

"Should I call her and ask her what she's doing right now?"

Pei Yunxi asked for her opinion.

"..."

Jiang Chen's lips moved, but he remained silent.

This is a way to force him to surrender.

"They said once a day."

Their true colors have been revealed.

Pei Yunxi didn't laugh, but objectively corrected, "She meant, the more the better." "Heh."

Mr. Jiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The more the better, indeed!

Appropriate and precise.

However, such a definition cannot be found in the Xinhua Dictionary.

"How long has it been?"

"tired?"

Mr. Jiang's face turned red from holding back his anger.

Even though she is Pei Yunxi, she still needs to rest.

"Zizzizi..."

The sound coming from the stove saved someone.

"The medicine is ready."

He hurriedly turned around, walked to the stove, turned off the fire, took a bowl, and filled it with medicine... without any complaints, truly a perfect man.

The scene was incredibly heartwarming.

Pei Yunxi watched silently.

After working for several minutes, even scooping up the medicine with a spoon and pouring it out to speed up the cooling of the soup, Mr. Jiang carefully carried a bowl of concentrated medicine closer when the temperature was just right.

"Give."

The medicine smelled strong, enough to make anyone wrinkle their nose, but Pei Yunxi showed no reaction. She took the bowl of medicine, guessing it was still a bit hot, and didn't rush to drink it.

"Would it be bad if I got pregnant today?"

Another memorable quote.

Mr. Jiang was taken aback, staring at the other person in astonishment, and then gave a wry smile, "You think it's a miracle cure?"

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

Pei Yunxi repeated.

Mr. Jiang composed himself, pondered for a moment, and then smiled again, "What's wrong with that? These things are all about fate."

He's not stupid.

Of course, I know this was just a test.

He couldn't control it.

If I'm really pregnant, can I still get an abortion?
"Why don't you take some of the medicine back with you?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then couldn't help but chuckle, "You're actually a pretty nice person."

Pei Yunxi remained silent, picked up the medicine soup, took a sip, and frowned slightly. "It is a bit bitter."

"If you can't stand it, then don't drink it. There's no need to suffer like this."

Jiang Chen immediately replied.

Let alone her being his woman, any man would feel heartbroken if he saw her frown.

"Take a sip."

Pei Yunxi suddenly handed the bowl over.

Jiang Chen stepped back. "It wasn't opened for me."

"Have a sip."

Not again?!
So what if they only know one move?
Can you stop it?

—Completely unstoppable.

Jiang Chen was helpless. He didn't want to drink it, but his body wouldn't obey him. It was as if he was controlled by an invisible force. He raised his hand, took the medicine, and helped drink half of it in one go.

"That's amazing?"

Just because you took some medicine, you think you're so great?
Jiang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "When my mother was sick, she often took Chinese medicine. When my father wasn't around, I would brew it for her. Before giving it to her, I would always try to see if it was bitter."

Pei Yunxi was silent for a while, then said, "No wonder you're so skilled at decocting medicine."

Jiang Chen handed the bowl back to him.

What illness does your mother have?

“Breast cancer. I didn’t know at first, so I didn’t go to the hospital for a checkup. I saw a doctor at the pharmacy, partly because I didn’t want to waste money. The doctor thought it was just a common lump, so he prescribed some Chinese medicine.”

Jiang Chen laughed and said, "So girls should try to get angry less often."

The power to move people may not be earth-shattering; it may simply be a quiet, ordinary smile.

Pei Yunxi remained silent, lowered her head to drink the medicine, and suddenly found that the thick medicine was not bitter anymore.

"Give it to me."

Jiang Chen picked up the empty bowl, turned around, and was about to clean it up when he heard a voice behind him.

"I hope your child won't be too much worse off than you in the future."

For a man, what greater praise could there be?
Jiang Chen stopped, but didn't turn around; only a soft laugh escaped his lips.

"Then first I have to be a good father, just like my dad."

He started washing the dishes again. (End of Chapter)
