Peerless Little Divine Doctor: The Beautiful CEO Falls for Me

He poured water into the pot, took out a handful of high-quality Northeast rice, and took out the bird's nest that Su Qingyan had sent a few days ago from the cupboard, breaking off a small piece and putting it in.

Widow Liu watched in stunned silence.

"Yuanbao, then...a box of bird's nest must cost tens of thousands of yuan, right? Is it okay to cook it like this?"

"It'll only be effective if it's cooked thoroughly," Chen Yuanbao said with a smile. "It'll nourish you and the child."

"I don't need any supplements, just let the child eat..."

"Sister-in-law," Chen Yuanbao turned to look at her and said earnestly, "You were frightened last night, you need to take good care of yourself. This bird's nest is just a small box, it's not worth much money."

Widow Liu lowered her head, her eyes reddening again.

Chen Yuanbao added a few more red dates and goji berries to the pot, and finally dripped in a small drop of Taiqingling liquid.

He had been saving this drop of spiritual liquid for several days. He couldn't bear to use it on himself, so he poured it all into the pot.

As soon as the elixir was added to the pot, the entire pot of porridge began to emit a fragrant aroma.

The fragrance wafted into the courtyard and then traveled far away.

Aunt Zhao, who lives next door, was airing her quilts in her yard when she smelled this aroma and twitched her nose.

"Oh my, what delicious food is Yuanbao's family making? It smells so good..."

……

The porridge is ready.

Chen Yuanbao served Liu the widow a large bowl and each of the two children a small bowl.

Widow Liu held a bowl of porridge, and after looking at the crystal-clear porridge in the bowl, tears streamed down her face.

"Yuanbao..."

"Sister-in-law, eat up."

"My life... my sister-in-law's life..."

"Hey, what are you saying?" Chen Yuanbao said, sitting opposite her. "I'll cook for you every day from now on, every single day."

Widow Liu ate while crying.

The moment the porridge touched my lips, a warm sensation spread from my throat all the way to my heart. Every pore of my body felt incredibly comfortable.

The fright I experienced last night has slowly been expelled from my body.

The two children ate very happily, and quickly finished the large bowl of porridge.

The younger one was only three years old. After finishing his meal, he still held his bowl and said in a childish voice:

"Mother, I want more!"

Widow Liu served him another bowl.

Chen Yuanbao's heart softened when he saw this scene.

He lost his parents at a young age and has never known what "home" feels like.

Sitting here at this moment, watching his sister-in-law serve rice to the children, and seeing the two children's rosy cheeks, he suddenly felt that this was what home felt like.

After finishing their meal, the two children ran out to play in the yard.

After Chen Yuanbao finished cleaning up the dishes, he took them to the kitchen to wash them.

Widow Liu followed her in: "I'll wash, you rest for a while."

"Let's wash together."

The two of them squeezed together next to the small stove, one washing and the other wiping.

Widow Liu's elbow would sometimes bump into Chen Yuanbao's arm, but the two of them would pretend not to feel it.

Halfway through washing, Widow Liu whispered:

"Yuanbao" (a type of ancient Chinese currency).

"Um?"

"Thank you for last night..."

Chen Yuanbao stopped holding the bowl.

"Sister-in-law, why are you bringing this up?"

"If it weren't for you... if it weren't for your jade pendant..." Widow Liu's voice choked with emotion, "My sister-in-law has two children, and perhaps..."

After putting the bowl down, Chen Yuanbao turned around and put his hands on Widow Liu's shoulders.

Widow Liu kept her head down, her hair covering half of her face.

"Sister-in-law," Chen Yuanbao said softly, "this will never happen again."

"I promise."

"If anyone dares to touch a hair on your head again, I, Chen Yuanbao, will make sure they lose their life."

When Widow Liu looked up, her eyes were full of tears.

The two faces were very close, and they could smell each other's breath.

Widow Liu's heart pounded, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

Chen Yuanbao was also taken aback.

Widow Liu wasn't wearing makeup or combing her hair today; she was just standing there in an old jacket, but she was very beautiful.

His Adam's apple bobbed.

Just as I was about to say something...

"mother!"

Outside the small courtyard, the smaller one suddenly cried out.

My brother pushed me!

The older one immediately retorted, "I didn't push him! He fell on his own!"

The two started arguing.

The widow Liu was startled by the scream, her face turned even redder, and she quickly slipped out from under Chen Yuanbao's grasp.

"I...I'll go check on the child..."

Chen Yuanbao stood in front of the stove, watching Liu the widow's hurried departure, and couldn't help but laugh.

Looking down, I saw that my palms were still sweaty.

……

When Widow Liu returned to her room after soothing the child, Chen Yuanbao was no longer in the kitchen.

As soon as she entered the main room, she saw Chen Yuanbao sitting in front of the table, looking at a jade pendant in his hand.

That jade pendant is the one he gave to Widow Liu last night.

Widow Liu returned it to him as soon as she got up in the morning.

"Yuanbao, is there something wrong with this jade pendant?"

Chen Yuanbao looked up at her and said, "Sister-in-law, come here for a moment."

Widow Liu walked over.

Chen Yuanbao handed the jade pendant to her.

Widow Liu was stunned when she saw it.

A small crack appeared on the jade plaque.

The lines extend from the edge of the jade plaque all the way to the middle; although very thin, they are very clear.

"When...when did this happen?" Widow Liu asked anxiously. "Yuanbao, is this jade pendant very expensive? I...I don't know when it was broken..."

"It wasn't from hitting it," Chen Yuanbao said, shaking his head. "It happened last night."

"Last night?"

"When Li Laizi reached out to you, I knocked him unconscious with a tree branch. But before he could reach out, the jade pendant on your chest had already blocked it," Chen Yuanbao explained. "That person had something unclean on him, and after the jade pendant blocked it for you, it cracked."

Widow Liu only half understood what she was hearing.

"Then...can that jade pendant still be used?"

"It's usable." Chen Yuanbao put the jade pendant around her neck again, "but its power is not as great as before."

He sighed.

Seeing him sigh, Widow Liu immediately said, "Then we won't use this. You can keep it yourself. I don't need it..."

"Sister-in-law," Chen Yuanbao said, holding her hand, "this jade pendant was made for you. No one else can achieve the same effect when wearing it."

"what?"

"This jade pendant contains a wisp of my divine consciousness," Chen Yuanbao said earnestly. "After you wear it, I will be able to sense you. If you encounter danger, I will immediately notice."

Widow Liu blushed with embarrassment again.

She carefully pressed the jade pendant against her chest, feeling its warmth even through her clothes, a warmth that matched her own heartbeat.

"Yuanbao..."

"Um?"

"From now on... I'll wear it every day."

Chen Yuanbao laughed.

"Yeah, I wear it every day."
