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

When she got home, Jiang Ruoxi was so tired that she lay down on the sofa and didn't even want to drink water.

For an ordinary woman like Jiang Ruoxi, walking more than ten miles in high heels is indeed very tiring.

After a short while, Jiang Ruoxi, having regained some strength, started playing on her phone.

Because Jiang Ruoxi wanted to eat the noodles he made, Ye Chen started busying himself in the kitchen as soon as he returned.

Cooking is not a big deal for Ye Chen. On the mountain, ever since he was old enough to understand, he has been in charge of all three meals a day. His master only eats what is ready-made.

Jiang Ruoxi's villa has a dedicated cook who takes care of her meals and lodging. Regardless of whether she eats or not, she buys fresh vegetables from the market every morning.

The cook and the housekeeper were quite happy to see Ye Chen cooking, as it meant they wouldn't have to worry about the food not suiting Jiang Ruoxi's taste. Their main concern was that Jiang Ruoxi might scold them, since finding a job outside wasn't easy.

With these, Ye Chen no longer needed to worry about ingredients.

Eggs, noodles, tomatoes, seasonings, etc. were all prepared. Through the kitchen glass, Jiang Ruoxi could be seen lying down.

Ye Chen didn't come out; instead, he sped up, afraid that Jiang Ruoxi would fall asleep before the noodles were ready.

"Honey, Ye's tomato noodles will be ready soon. You can wash your hands and get ready."

Ye Chen told Jiang Ruoxi in advance that it was time to eat noodles.

Soon a steaming bowl of noodles appeared in front of Jiang Ruoxi, and the aroma was the same as that night.

"Honey, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste the same when it's cold." Ye Chen carefully pushed the noodles in front of Jiang Ruoxi, sat opposite her, and stared blankly as she ate!

"Ye Chen, why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I'm tired of eating the noodles I make myself. I also have snacks I brought from the mountain."

Jiang Ruoxi took a bite, and it still tasted the same, without any change. It was so delicious.

"Did your master always require you to cook when you were on the mountain? Did she just eat what was already prepared for her? Or did she simply enjoy cooking herself?"

Jiang Ruoxi asked Ye Chen curiously, wondering why Ye Chen's noodles were so delicious.

"No, not really. I was raised by my master since I was little. She had very high expectations for me. From the time I was old enough to understand things, I had to cook, catch fish in the pond, pick fruit from trees... I had to do everything on my own. My master never helped me. But I still have to thank my master, otherwise I wouldn't be so capable, knowing a little bit of everything..."

Ye Chen described his cooking experience on the mountain with great enthusiasm, and Jiang Ruoxi listened with great interest, occasionally asking questions.

"Your master is so beautiful, why is she still single?"

"I can't answer your question. I asked my master, and she said it's not the right time to tell me now. I suspect she's deliberately keeping it from me."

"Haha, and then your master gave you a marriage certificate and kicked you off the mountain? Is it better up on the mountain or in Jiangcheng?"

"There aren't many social niceties or deceitful people on the mountain. It's just me and my master. Jiangcheng is a big place with many beautiful sights, delicious food, and fun activities. Unfortunately, there are also many bad people. Sometimes you have to be on guard at all times, or you'll get tricked."

Jiang Ruoxi suddenly laughed: "Ye Chen, you've only been here a short time, yet you already know the situation so clearly. You're really amazing."

Ye Chen shook his head and said with a hint of helplessness, "The people here are too complicated. They will do anything for profit, and some of them don't even care about their own families. They are so inhumane."

"Don't be so pessimistic. There are good people and bad people. It's impossible for everything to be as perfect as you imagine. Maybe it will happen in the future, but it's not possible right now."

Jiang Ruoxi comforted Ye Chen. She was surprised to learn that Ye Chen, who she remembered as a carefree and nonchalant person, also had a pessimistic and dejected side.

Perhaps it's because he's not used to life in Jiangcheng; maybe he'll get used to it after a while.

Ye Chen didn't want to live that complicated life. He preferred a quiet, carefree lifestyle. After leaving the mountain, he found himself surrounded by dangers and schemes.

However, Ye Chen will persevere for Jiang Ruoxi's sake.

"Ye Chen, your noodles taste really good, better than any other noodle shop in Jiangcheng!"

"It's not easy to gain your approval, Madam. If you like, I'll cook for you every day. Eating at home saves money, and most importantly, it's healthy and hygienic."

Ye Chen is right, home-cooked food is better than restaurant food, at least it uses much less seasoning.

"Ye Chen, what are your plans for the future?" After asking, Jiang Ruoxi suddenly realized that she had asked the wrong question. Ye Chen's purpose in coming down the mountain was very clear: to fulfill the marriage contract. She had asked the wrong question.

"Don't you already know? Why ask again?"

"But, Ye Chen, do you know? I've never thought about getting married in the future, which might disappoint you..." Jiang Ruoxi said the word "disappointment" very softly.

Ye Chen heard it very clearly. He understood what Jiang Ruoxi meant. Before he went down the mountain, his master had said that there were many older unmarried women, and it would probably take some effort to win over Jiang Ruoxi.

"It's okay, I have plenty of time. Let's talk about it after you get through this ordeal. Maybe you'll redefine your marriage then, and I believe I can melt your cold heart." Ye Chen's words were straightforward and realistic.

"I'm really looking forward to your performance, but don't be disappointed! Hahaha!" Jiang Ruoxi laughed, she was very confident in herself.

"We'll see, but we can't back out later."

"It's a promise, and I'll never go back on it!"

"Wife, put your hand out!"

"what?"

"Let me take your pulse to check the level of toxins in your body!"

Jiang Ruoxi obediently extended her hand, allowing Ye Chen to feel her pulse.

A short while later, Ye Chen had Jiang Ruoxi switch to her other hand, and the job was done quickly.

"Wife, the toxins in your body have been mostly eliminated, so it won't affect your health anymore. You can rest assured, but..." Ye Chen hesitated before continuing.

"But what's wrong? Tell me quickly..." Jiang Ruoxi asked anxiously.

"The person who orchestrated the poisoning hasn't been caught yet, which means there's always a risk. They'll continue to use other methods to deal with you."

"Why worry so much? Aren't you here? With the protection of the 18th generation disciple of the Almighty Medicine King Valley, everything will be fine." Jiang Ruoxi said very casually, without a trace of worry on her face.

"Protecting you is my purpose in coming down the mountain. I will definitely do my best, and no one can hurt you in the slightest." Ye Chen said earnestly, and it was the truth from the bottom of his heart.

"Ye Chen, you should eat something too. You've been busy all day, it's already past 11 pm. Eat and get some rest, you have work to do tomorrow!"

Ye Chen nodded and was about to get up to clear the dishes when Jiang Ruoxi's phone rang.

"Hey, what's wrong? When did this happen? I'm coming right back!"

Ye Chen could tell from Jiang Ruoxi's expression that something had happened at home.
