After a whole night of tossing and turning, Ye Chen was also a bit tired. If he were in Medicine King Valley, he would have been dreaming of dating his lover by now.

Ye Chen still regretted leaving Medicine King Valley. He felt that Medicine King Valley was more comfortable. There was no strife, no need to fight, and he had plenty to eat and drink without any worries.

Ye Chen didn't delay and went back to his bedroom to rest. He knew this was just an appetizer, a small beginning, and the real show was yet to come.

I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Thinking about their brief time together, Jiang Ruoxi wasn't as difficult as she had imagined. In fact, she was much better than her cold master, who still had a cold heart after eighteen years.

Jiang Ruoxi, lying on the bed, was also thinking. As soon as Ye Chen appeared, she began to be assassinated, one wave after another. Could it be a scheme orchestrated by him?

It doesn't seem likely. Judging from the fighting, they didn't know each other, and the fight was quite brutal.

Could a boy in his early twenties possess such abilities? Jiang Ruoxi really couldn't believe it.

The marriage certificate is real, there's no fake one. I'll ask the old man about it another day.

The more Jiang Ruoxi thought about it, the more panicked she became. Having lived alone for over twenty years, she had actually agreed to let a stranger she had just met stay at her home. If he had ulterior motives towards her, wouldn't she be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoxi instantly realized her mistake and lightly slapped herself a few times: "Jiang Ruoxi, you're usually so smart, but you made a foolish decision this time! How could you make such a hasty decision?"

It felt like both punishment and self-reflection.

Since Jiang Ruoxi took over the Jiang Group, no other man besides her family has ever appeared at her private villa.

Ye Chen is young and handsome. Although he looks a bit rustic on the surface, he is quite capable.

Forget it, the mistake has already been made. Let's wait and see. It's not certain whether it will be good or bad.

Jiang Ruoxi drifted off to sleep again.

Just after six in the morning, Jiang Ruoxi, wearing pajamas, dragged her tired body and rubbed her sleepy eyes as she slowly walked towards the bathroom.

"Hey! Who are you? Thief!"

Jiang Ruoxi suddenly screamed, and her voice carried rapidly throughout the villa.

"Miss Jiang, this is Ye Chen."

Jiang Ruoxi, now fully awake, immediately closed the bathroom door and stood there questioning Ye Chen.

"Who told you to come up to the second floor? This is my private bathroom..."

"The people downstairs all sit down; they're not used to using this. I see this is the only squat toilet in the whole building, similar to the ones on the mountain. Anyway, you can't use it all by yourself. I'll be done in a minute, just a moment..."

Ye Chen came out quickly, stretched, and Jiang Ruoxi covered her nose with her left hand, walked to the side and turned on the exhaust fan with disgust.

"Didn't I make a deal with you? You can't come up to the second floor without my permission..."

"No, you allowed me to come and go from the villa freely before you went to bed last night, how can you deny it now?"

"Did I say that? Impossible. I'm still a young woman. How could I let a strange man like you come and go in my room so easily? You're overthinking it!"

Ye Chen was truly helpless. How could she be just like his master? They had clearly agreed on everything, but in the blink of an eye, she would deny it. Women really do change their minds faster than flipping through a book.

Helpless, Ye Chen had no choice but to produce evidence. To prevent Jiang Ruoxi from going back on her word, Ye Chen had specially recorded the line "The three rules we agreed on before don't count" last night.

Just when Ye Chen thought the evidence was conclusive, he was waiting for Jiang Ruoxi to back down and apologize.

"That's not my voice. Listen to my voice, it sounds like this. You must have had this recording deliberately made to get close to me. Are you losing control?"

Ye Chen saw that Jiang Ruoxi was being unreasonable and decided not to argue anymore. Women were his nemesis, and it wasn't shameful for him to lose to his fiancée.

He has never won a fight with a woman. He fought with his beautiful master for eighteen years and lost every time. This time, he was even kicked off the mountain.

A good man doesn't argue with a woman, so Ye Chen didn't plan to dwell on the matter any further.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm so sorry, it was my fault. I'll be more careful next time, okay?"

Hearing Ye Chen back down, Jiang Ruoxi wore a smug smile, pushed Ye Chen away, and locked the bathroom door.

Ye Chen stood outside the door, extended his fist, made an angry expression towards the inside, and then went downstairs.

Ye Chen began to organize his belongings. He knew that the next assassination operation was about to begin, and he had to be fully prepared.

Jiang Ruoxi felt a bit disgusted when she saw the bathroom that Ye Chen had used; it was much more comfortable to live alone.

However, recalling the moments she spent with Ye Chen, she knew that Ye Chen was not like a young master from a prestigious family.

He is not a bad person, nor would he take advantage of someone in distress.

At this moment, she still felt a little grateful to Ye Chen, and perhaps she had developed a slight liking for him.

To be precise, she has developed feelings for men and may be changing her views on them.

Jiang Ruoxi ate a simple breakfast and hurriedly prepared to go to the company to attend the project cooperation signing ceremony.

Just as the car started to move, Ye Chen appeared in front of it and slammed on the brakes, almost causing Jiang Ruoxi's head to hit the front seat.

"President Jiang, take me with you. Someone's bound to cause trouble at this event..."

"Ye Chen, I know you're capable, but don't overestimate yourself. I've specially hired Jiangcheng's top security company today; there's no chance of anything going wrong. You should just stay home and focus on your training..."

Jiang Ruoxi didn't let Ye Chen get in the car and went to the Jiang Group alone.

Ye Chen wasn't annoyed; this was an outcome he had anticipated. The domineering female CEO's every word and action was under constant public scrutiny, and if she were to ride in the same car as Ye Chen, it would be the most sensational news in Jiangcheng.

"Fine, I won't take you. I'll just walk there myself. I don't believe you're colder than Master."

Ye Chen kept complaining about Jiang Ruoxi's ingratitude and about the good wife his master had found for him.

Despite his complaints, he still found a taxi and arrived at the Jiang Group's building, where there were quite a few people at the signing ceremony.

The security guards at the scene saw that Ye Chen was dressed casually and refused to let him in.

Ye Chen glanced around the room from the doorway. Jiang Ruoxi was chatting and laughing with several well-dressed men.

That's probably the partner she's been waiting for.

This is understandable; the usually aloof and cold female CEO immediately changes her demeanor when dealing with people in the business world.

Sigh, women like that have it so tough. They have to pretend every day, just like their master. I'm the only one watching them every day, and they still have to put on an act.

Besides observing Jiang Ruoxi, Ye Chen unconsciously glanced at the crowd in the venue. This must be a special quality of a martial arts practitioner!

She quickly scanned the entire scene and spotted several middle-aged men exuding murderous intent preparing to approach Jiang Ruoxi.

Ye Chen didn't alert the enemy; everything was under his control. These were all insignificant to Ye Chen. He wanted to find out who was behind it all.
