"I never dreamed that the company would one day become this powerful!" Yin Yuhan exclaimed with emotion.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Now that you're in this position, you have to do your job well. Keep it up!" Jiang Aiwei said. "By the way, how's Qingran doing?"

"I just went to check on them. Aside from being unconscious, their condition is quite stable!" Yin Yuhan said. "I wonder what's going on with Chen Huo and Sister Bingyun. We've been gone for so many days without any news!"

Jiang Aiwei's eyes crinkled as she teased, "Do you want to see Chen Huo, or Sister Bingyun?"

"Pah, I just want them to come back sooner so they can remove the curse from Qingran!" Yin Yuhan spat lightly, but a blush still crept onto her face.

Jiang Aiwei perked up: "Yuhan, what if they elope and never come back? What will you do then?"

Yin Yuhan rolled her eyes: "What can I do? Cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide?"

"At least things are better this way than if I were to marry that Sun Qianlong and suffer humiliation!"

"Besides, Chen Huo and Sister Bingyun are quite a good match!"

"Really? I'm afraid some people are just saying one thing and meaning another!" Jiang Aiwei said with a teasing tone.

"You have the nerve to say that to me? You're the same way!" Yin Yuhan pouted. "If Chen Huo gets away, see if you'll cry then!"

"Stop crying, he's just a stinky man!" Jiang Aiwei cursed.

"Really?" Yin Yuhan blinked. "Ivy, based on my observation, your relationship with Chen Huo is definitely not as innocent as it seems!"

"Have you two been having an affair for a while? Tell me the truth!"

"I..." Jiang Aiwei blushed and said reproachfully, "It was an accident!"

"I knew it..." Yin Yuhan looked enlightened, then winked and said, "Ivy, tell me, what does it taste like?"

"What does it taste like?"

"Keep pretending! We've all been there..."

Chen Huo, who had just entered the room, was almost shocked when he heard the two talking.

Are women really this open about their private conversations?

Then he coughed twice and said, "I'm back!"

Yin Yuhan and Jiang Aiwei immediately changed the subject and went to greet her, as if they had done something wrong.

"Chen Huo, you're finally back!"

"Where's Bingyun? I haven't seen her anywhere!"

"She's staying in Miao territory for now, and will come back in a while!" Chen Huo explained.

"What about Qingran's Gu poison?" Yin Yuhan asked impatiently. "Have you found a way to neutralize it?"

"Of course I found it!" Chen Huo nodded. "Without further ado, I'll remove the curse from him now!"

"She's in her room upstairs!" Yin Yuhan pointed.

Chen Huo didn't say much and immediately went upstairs.

Li Qingran was seen lying quietly on the bed in her pajamas, looking as serene and elegant as Sleeping Beauty.

However, because he had been unable to eat for several days and was receiving intravenous nutrition, his face was pale.

Chen Huo gently grasped her hand, channeled his inner energy, and chanted a spell in a low voice.

With a slight tremor in her body, Li Qingran opened her small mouth, and a black line flew out.

Chen Huo reached out and grabbed.

It was a black Gu worm.

With a gentle squeeze, he died instantly.

"Um……"

Immediately afterwards, Li Qingran let out a soft hum and slowly opened her eyes.

"Where...where am I?"

"What... happened to me?"

Yin Yuhan and Jiang Aiwei were overjoyed and rushed over: "Qingran, do you still recognize us?"

"You're finally awake. How are you feeling now?"

Li Qingran shook her head, looking confused: "Yuhan, Aiwei, what happened?"

"It's alright, Qingran. You were sick, but you're better now!" Yin Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief. "Chen Huo, Qingran is all right?"

"It's nothing serious!" Chen Huo said. "But after being infected by the Gu for so many days, her body is inevitably weakened. I'll prescribe some medicine for her later, and she'll recover after a period of recuperation!"

"Holy crap, everything's alright now!" Yin Yuhan patted her chest.

"Chen Huo, just write me the prescription, and I'll have someone deliver it!" Jiang Aiwei said.

"Okay!" Chen Huo found a pen and paper and wrote down the medicinal herbs he needed.

With Jiang Aiwei's abilities, one phone call and someone would quickly come to her door.

And decoct it according to the recipe.

"Chen Huo, you've been running all this way, you must be tired, go and rest early! Yu Han, you go too, I'll take care of Qing Ran!" Jiang Aiwei said, carrying the prepared medicine.

"Let me do it!" Yin Yuhan said.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Aiwei raised an eyebrow. "Don't regret it!"

Clearly, she was giving the two of them some time alone.

Yin Yuhan blushed and was about to say something when Jiang Aiwei interrupted, "Oh, alright, go and rest. I'll take care of things here!"

"Okay, call us anytime if you need anything!" Yin Yuhan nodded, walked out of the room, turned around and grabbed Chen Huo's collar, her gaze intense, "Did you miss me?"

"Such a big contrast?" Chen Huo said with a half-smile. "You seemed quite reserved just now!"

"Stop talking nonsense, I missed you!" Without saying another word, Yin Yuhan pushed him into the room.

The scenery was enchanting and the temperature rose rapidly.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Yin Yuhan had already considered herself Chen Huo's woman, so naturally she wouldn't be polite.

They kept going until the wee hours of the morning before finally stopping.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she was covered in a light sweat: "Why do I feel like you've gotten weaker?"

"What has become weaker?" Chen Huo was taken aback.

"It's just... not as strong as before!" Yin Yuhan looked suspicious. "Tell me honestly, did you do anything shady behind my back during this trip to Miao territory?"

Chen Huo felt a chill run down his spine.

After all, he had been exploited by Xian Yu and Murong Bingyun before he returned.

After a long trip, I'm going on another one. Even my body, which is made of iron, is starting to feel the strain!

"Nonsense! This trip to Miao territory was a near-death experience; I almost didn't make it back!" Chen Huo immediately retorted. "I haven't had a proper rest, so naturally I'm a bit exhausted!"

"Really?" Yin Yuhan was still a little skeptical. "Given your character, you wouldn't do something like this!"

"I don't care, I want more!"

"Big sister, stop it!"

"Look at you, lie down properly..."

Chen Huo barely slept a wink all night, only managing a short, restful sleep in the morning.

On the contrary, Yin Yuhan was radiant and full of energy, not at all like someone who had stayed up all night.

Jiang Aiwei and Li Qingran had also gotten up early and were having breakfast downstairs.

"Qingran, are you feeling any better today?" Yin Yuhan asked with concern.

"Much better!" Li Qingran smiled. "Aside from feeling a little weak, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, so you don't need to worry too much!"

"That's good!" Yin Yuhan nodded. "Chen Huo, I'm leaving Qingran in your hands. Ivy and I have a lot of things to do at the company!"

"Yuhan, Ivy, thank you both for your hard work these past few days!" Li Qingran said somewhat apologetically. "I'll stay with you; I don't have much to do anyway!"
