Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

Ye Chen took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and walked into the living room with his hair still wet.

Jiang Ruoxi was already sitting on the sofa. On the coffee table in front of her was a cup of hot milk and a plate of cut fruit, which were obviously prepared for him.

The ghost servant wasn't in the living room; he was probably out arranging security around the villa.

Aygul's room door was ajar, and faint breathing could be heard through the crack, so she must have fallen asleep.

"Come and sit down." Jiang Ruoxi's voice was devoid of emotion, as calm as if she were presiding over a routine meeting.

But Ye Chen knew her too well; the calmer she seemed, the more turbulent her emotions were.

It was like the suffocating calm before a storm; on the surface, everything seemed calm, but underneath, things were in turmoil.

Ye Chen obediently sat down and took a sip of the hot milk.

His mind was still a little hazy. He hadn't slept all night, fighting to the death with Wei Qing in the ancient cave, and with the impact of the Dragon Heart's power, his body had reached its limit.

He tried his best not to show his fatigue, but the dark circles under his eyes and his slower-than-usual reactions couldn't lie.

"Ye Chen, did you almost die at Dragon Hidden Mountain yesterday?" Jiang Ruoxi didn't mince words and went straight to the point with her first question.

Ye Chen paused for a moment while holding the cup, then slowly put it down.

He turned to look at Jiang Ruoxi and said seriously, "It was almost true, but in the end, it was Wei Qing who died. That person was the leader of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce. Twenty years ago, he orchestrated the Ancient Tomb Scheme, which killed Su Youdao and your father. I avenged my uncle and your father."

This is the truth she fears most to hear, and the truth she most wants to know.

My father's death was not an accident; the real culprit was a man named Wei Qing.

Twenty years ago, on the rainy night when her father handed her over to her mother and hurriedly left, he was going to a meeting from which she was destined never to return.

"You knew all along?" she asked, her voice slightly unsteady.

"I only found out last night. Yesterday I went to see Grandpa Wu Qingyuan, and he told me about what happened twenty years ago. The letter didn't explicitly say who killed your father, but all the clues pointed to the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce and Wei Qing."

"So you kept it from me and ran off to Dragon Hidden Mountain all by yourself, fighting to the death with an old monster who had lived for over seventy years without knowing who the enemy was. Do you know that if you died on the mountain, I wouldn't even know where you died?" Jiang Ruoxi's voice suddenly rose, her eyes reddening terribly, but this time she didn't let the tears fall.

The living room was so quiet that only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard.

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then reached out and gently placed his hand on the back of her cold hand.

Jiang Ruoxi tried to pull away, but Ye Chen held her tightly. She struggled twice but couldn't break free, so she stopped moving.

"Honey, I didn't deliberately hide it from you. I know you're worried about me, but the situation was that if I didn't go, someone else would. The secret in Longyin Mountain is of great importance, and Wei Qing and his men are eyeing it covetously. I can't wait, and I can't drag you into it. I know it's selfish of me to leave you alone at home. I'm sorry."

Jiang Ruoxi lowered her head and wiped the corner of her eye with one hand.

"I don't need you to apologize." Her voice gradually calmed down.

"Okay, I got it, honey."

"I want you to promise me that from today onwards, whatever you're going to do, you must let me know first. Not just a casual greeting before you leave, but all the risks, the enemies, and what you're planning to do. I may not be able to help, but I need to know where you are, what you're doing, and under what circumstances you'll come back."

Ye Chen looked at her and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you, I will discuss everything with you from now on and never bear everything on my own."

Jiang Ruoxi stared into his eyes for a while, as if to confirm whether he was being perfunctory.

Then she let out a long breath, her shoulders slumped, and she looked as if she had shed a heavy suit of armor.

She pushed the plate towards Ye Chen: "Have some fruit first. I made some soup. Drink some before you go to sleep."

Ye Chen obediently forked a piece of apple and put it in his mouth, then forked another piece and held it to Jiang Ruoxi's lips.

Jiang Ruoxi paused for a moment, then opened her mouth to take it. After chewing a couple of times, she suddenly asked, "Is that Ayiguli pretty?"

Ye Chen was chewing an apple when he almost choked on those words.

He stared at Jiang Ruoxi with wide eyes and noticed that although her face was expressionless, the tips of her ears had turned a very faint pink.

Then a smug smile slowly spread across Ye Chen's face: "Wife, are you jealous?"

"Eat your head, my foot!" Jiang Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him, her tone regaining some of her CEO-like sharpness.

"Wife, why is that?" Ye Chen looked at Jiang Ruoxi with a puzzled expression.

"I'm the landlord, she's the tenant, her adoptive father and your master are from the same sect, and she got injured because she helped you. It's only right and proper that we take good care of her. Stop being so sentimental."

"I understand, I understand, the landlord is the kindest person." Ye Chen smiled and fed her another piece of apple.

"Ye Chen, stop being so cheeky."

"But don't worry, wife, I'm a very loyal person. Besides, Junior Sister Guli is even better at fighting than me. Anyone who likes her has to withstand the knife in her hand first. A weak doctor like me can only treat patients and save lives. When it comes to the rough work of love, I still have to go up against an expert like you, President Jiang."

"Get lost." Jiang Ruoxi snatched the fruit plate from his hand and started eating it herself.

But Ye Chen noticed that the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her gloomy face, which had been gloomy for days, finally showed a hint of warmth.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you." Ye Chen's joking expression disappeared.

Jiang Ruoxi suddenly looked at Ye Chen seriously, waiting for his answer.

Ye Chen sat up straight and said seriously, "Wei Qing is dead, but the organization behind him is older and more dangerous than the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, and they already know that the power of the Dragon Heart has appeared. Now the entire Dragon Hidden Mountain is probably not safe. Next, the Jiang Group needs to take higher-level security precautions. You must have someone accompany you when you go out. In addition to Uncle Gui, I will have to arrange a few more people for you. Also, I need to go back to my master. After the Dragon Heart Copper Lamp recognized me as its master, the power in my body is still unstable. I need to go back and consult her on many key things."

"When are you leaving?" Jiang Ruoxi asked.

"I'll set off once Guli's injuries have stabilized and the security arrangements at the villa and company are in place. It won't be long, maybe two or three days at most," Ye Chen said.

"I'll go with you," Jiang Ruoxi said casually, as if she were just arranging a regular business trip.

Ye Chen was taken aback: "You want to come with me to Medicine King Valley?"

"What? Your master is your master, shouldn't I go and meet him?" Jiang Ruoxi looked at him with a serious expression, not joking at all.

"Your master should already know about our engagement, right? As your fiancée, isn't it only right that you go and meet him?"

Ye Chen opened his mouth, wanting to find a reason to refuse, but found that Jiang Ruoxi's words were flawless and there was no way to refute them.

"Okay, let's go together. But the mountain path is difficult to walk on. In some places, you have to use your hands and feet to climb up. You can't do it in high heels."

"Have you ever seen me climb a mountain in high heels?" Jiang Ruoxi glanced at him sideways.

Ye Chen felt a little guilty under her gaze and quickly lowered his head to drink his milk.
