The Physician Tycoon

The two unconsciously embraced, and after a moment of intimacy, to Ye Kai's surprise, the jade gourd did not open.

Just as Ye Kai was puzzled, the image of the Calabash Immortal appeared in his mind.

Ye Kai quickly asked, "Master, I found the girl Lan Bing who has a blue jade pendant, so why won't the jade gourd open?"

The loud voice of the Calabash Immortal rang out, "Ye Kai, the colors are red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple; you can't skip any levels. Although you found the Rainbow Girl whose name contains the character 'blue,' you haven't passed the 'cyan' level yet, so the jade gourd hasn't opened."

"I understand, Master."

In other words, Ye Kai needs to win over Jiang Qian first before he can enter the Blue Hall with Lan Bing.

"You've been making good progress lately, but don't rush things. Be patient. As the saying goes, 'He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety.' You haven't even finished half the journey yet, so keep up the good work."

"Yes, disciple will remember Master's teachings!"

"My happiness for the rest of my life depends on you, my dear disciple. Go for it!"

After saying this, the Calabash Immortal rode away on a white cloud. He didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if he knew that Ye Kai would definitely be able to fulfill the three-year agreement.

Ye Kai returned to reality from the spatial dimension and found Lan Bing looking at him with a strange expression.

Why are you looking at me like that?

"You were talking to yourself just now."

Ye Kai was secretly alarmed. Could it be that Lan Bing had overheard what he had just said to the Calabash Immortal?

"What did I say?"

Lan Bing shook her head. "I can't hear you clearly. It sounds like you're speaking a foreign language. Are you perhaps speaking English?"

Ye Kai was relieved; it seemed Lan Bing hadn't heard anything.

"I must be talking in my sleep."

"It looks like it, but I find it very strange."

"What's so strange?"

"I feel like there's some kind of magic about you that's drawing me in."

"Your feeling is absolutely correct; you are attracted to my personal charm."

"You get out of breath just from being called fat; looks like I can't compliment you anymore."

"Sister, I'm captivated by your charm, you're so beautiful!"

"Hmph, that's more like it. Ugh, I'm exhausted. I'm going to take a nap."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Bing quickly fell asleep. She had been tormented by Ye Kai for two hours and was exhausted. She didn't know when she would wake up.

Ye Kai decided to go find Jiang Qian. He left Lan Bing's house, called Jiang Qian, and said he was in the office.

Ye Kai arrived at Jiang Qian's office. "Qianqian, come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

Jiang Qian shook her head. "I'm not going out. I've been very busy lately."

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat."

"I really have no appetite. I've already ordered takeout, and it should arrive soon."

"Why eat fast food? It's bad for your health. Cancel it immediately. I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"What delicious food should we eat?"

"That Taoyuan Local Cuisine Restaurant has the taste of home."

After Ye Kai's suggestion, Jiang Qian was also tempted, "Alright then."

Ye Kai was overjoyed. "Let's go."

He and Jiang Qian came out of the supermarket and went to a local restaurant. Coincidentally, there was no queue at the restaurant today, so they found a seat by the window.

The dishes were served, and Ye Kai took a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor). "Let's have some baijiu."

Jiang Qian waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I have to go to work this afternoon."

"Drink a little less, it's okay."

Ye Kai tried to persuade her patiently, but no matter what he said, Jiang Qian just wouldn't drink the baijiu.

"No, you really can't drink baijiu. If you want to drink it, drink it by yourself."

Ye Kai had no choice but to settle for second best, "How about we have some beer?"

"Just one bottle!"

"Okay." Ye Kai was disappointed; a bottle of beer was practically nothing.

He originally planned to get Jiang Qian drunk some liquor so he could take advantage of her, but now it seems that the opportunity is gone.

Ye Kai opened two bottles of beer and handed one to Jiang Qian.

"Come on, cheers!"

The two ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, but it was difficult to take things further.

Jiang Qian finished a bottle of beer, and Ye Kai brought her another one, but Jiang Qian refused to drink it, so Ye Kai had no choice but to give up.

After the two finished their meal, they returned to Jiang Qian's office. Soon, a client came to discuss business, so Ye Kai had to leave the office and wander around the supermarket downstairs.

He was unwilling to go back like this and wanted to wait until Jiang Qian got off work.

He patiently wandered around all afternoon, and finally waited until it was time to leave work. He quickly went to Jiang Qian's office.

Jiang Qian was tidying up her desk when she saw Ye Kai and asked in surprise,

"Ye Kai, you haven't left yet?"

"No, I'll wait for you at the supermarket."

Jiang Qian was quite touched. "You've been waiting all this time?"

"yes."

Jiang Qian felt a little guilty. "Why were you waiting for me? Honestly, I've taken up so much of your time."

"I'm waiting for you to have dinner together!"

"I'm not eating dinner out; I'm going home to eat."

"What good food do you have at home?"

"I'll do it myself."

"Can you cook?"

"Of course I would, eating out every day is too much trouble."

"How about I buy some groceries and we eat together?"

Jiang Qian readily agreed, "You treated me to lunch, so it's my turn to treat you. Let's go."

Ye Kai was secretly delighted; he had finally taken an important step and could now go to Jiang Qian's house.

The two went downstairs to the supermarket, bought some vegetables and meat, and walked to Jiang Qian's home in Shangcheng International Community.

Just as Jiang Qian took out her keys, Li Yao's door opened, and Li Yao placed a trash bag beside the door.

She looked up and saw Ye Kai. Just as she was about to speak, Ye Kai quickly winked at her. Li Yao was smart and immediately understood, so she shut her mouth.

Jiang Qian saw Li Yao and said with delight, "Li Yao, could you please sign your autograph?"

"Can."

"Wait a moment, I'll go home and get a notebook."

She inserted the key into the lock, about to open the door, when she suddenly stopped and asked Li Yao.

Have you eaten?

"No, I'm about to do that."

"If you don't mind, would you like to come to my house and have dinner with me?"

Li Yao glanced at Ye Kai and readily agreed, "If it's convenient, of course, that would be great."

"That's convenient. We just bought some groceries, please."

Jiang Qian opened the door and invited Li Yao in.

Ye Kai followed him in and looked around the room. It was a small one-bedroom apartment, the same layout as Lan Bing's house.

"Li Yao, please sit in the living room for a while."

"No, I'll help you."

"How could I possibly ask a big star like you for help!"

"No matter how big a celebrity is, they are still human beings and need to eat. I cook for myself at home too."

Li Yao walked into the kitchen, skillfully tied on an apron, and got busy.

Ye Kai also went into the kitchen to help pick vegetables, while listening to what Li Yao and Jiang Qian were saying.

As soon as Li Yao entered the kitchen, she was busy washing and chopping vegetables, and didn't have much time to chat with Jiang Qian.

The three worked together diligently and quickly prepared six dishes and a soup, which they then served on the table.

Jiang Qian opened a bottle of red wine and poured three glasses.

"Come on in, welcome to my home, big star."

Li Yao took a sip of red wine, glanced at Ye Kai, and suddenly asked Jiang Qian,

"Hey girl, is this your boyfriend?"
