Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

"The young mistress is back."

The housekeeper opened the door and, seeing Cheng Xihe outside, hurriedly ushered her inside.

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow at him: "What's wrong? Your expression is so strange?"

"We wanted to let you know you were coming back, Madam. We haven't prepared dinner for you yet. Are you hungry? Why don't you go take a bath first?" the butler asked with concern.

The trip was somewhat sudden; they hadn't prepared anything.

If I leave a bad impression on the lady, I'm doomed.

Cheng Xihe looked around and glanced at the time: "Yan Mingchuan hasn't returned yet?"

"The master hasn't been staying here these days." The butler winked at the maid beside him, who quickly went to fetch water.

Cheng Xihe didn't bother to ask any more questions: "Prepare something to eat, I'm going upstairs now."

"Yes, madam."

As soon as Cheng Xihe left, the butler immediately made a phone call to Yan Mingchuan.

"Ring ring ring".

Yan Mingchuan, who was in the middle of a meeting, paused and glanced at Su Jin.

Su Jin picked up her phone, glanced at it, and walked over to whisper in her ear, "Brother Yan, it's the butler from the villa calling."

"Ask him what's wrong. If there's nothing wrong, don't call and bother me. You can go now."

Yan Mingchuan gestured with his chin towards Su Jin, then his gaze fell on the group of employees in the conference room.

Seeing their curious and gossipy gazes, Yan Mingchuan tapped the table: "Continue, the financial data from last quarter was not bad..."

In the hallway, Su Jin answered the phone: "Feed?"

"Eh? Young Master Su?"

The butler paused, then asked uncertainly.

Su Jin said coldly, "It's me. Why didn't you call at this hour? Didn't we say we weren't coming back?"

"I know……"

"You knew that, yet you still called?"

The butler said helplessly, "Young Master Su, we didn't want this either, but Madam is back today! She's upstairs washing up now."

"Such an important matter, I should at least inform President Yan, shouldn't I?"

He remembered that President Yan clearly cared a lot about his wife. If he didn't say anything when his wife came back, wouldn't he get his salary docked?

"What? My sister-in-law is back?"

Su Jin glanced at Yan Mingchuan inside and said, "Take good care of your sister-in-law. I'll explain the situation to President Yan in a bit."

"Yes, Young Master Su."

The housekeeper hung up the phone and immediately arranged for people to prepare fruit and dinner.

Su Jin hung up the phone and placed Yan Mingchuan's phone next to him.

Now it's the regional manager's turn to report. Yan Mingchuan has already reviewed the data; the PowerPoint presentations are for the shareholders to see.

He turned to look at Su Jin sitting next to him: "Who called?"

Glancing at his phone, Yan Mingchuan asked casually.

"The housekeeper called."

Su Jin said in a low voice, "My sister-in-law has already gone home."

"Going home?" Yan Mingchuan's eyes changed slightly, but he looked at the people below without changing his expression.

"When?"

He didn't even say a word when he went home, and he didn't ask anyone to prepare anything for him.

Su Jin glanced at her phone's screen saver: "Brother Yan, it's Friday today. Sister-in-law is back from military training."

"Okay, let's go back to the villa today."

Since Cheng Xihe wasn't around the night before, it was naturally more comfortable for him to stay at the manor.

Su Jin knew he would go back immediately, and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yan."

On the other side, Cheng Xihe washed her hair and took a nice bath before going downstairs.

She was wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, with flip-flops on her feet. Her long, straight legs were white and tender, attracting everyone's attention.

After all, she just came back from military training, how can she still be so fair-skinned? It's unbelievable!

"Madam, dinner is ready." The butler led Cheng Xihe to the living room, where a table was laden with food.

After Cheng Xihe sat down, she raised an eyebrow but didn't reach for her chopsticks: "With so many dishes, am I supposed to wait here for Yan Mingchuan to come back?"

"Of course not, Madam, these are all prepared for you." The butler looked at Cheng Xihe with a smile.

Cheng Xihe chuckled, "So many dishes for me to eat alone? Why don't you all come to the table and eat with me?"

"That won't do, we all have rules."

The butler immediately refused, "We'll find a way to deal with the food we can't finish, don't worry, Madam."

"Alright, is Yan Mingchuan coming back today?" Cheng Xihe asked casually.

The butler thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Not coming back?" She raised her eyebrows, her hand holding the food paused slightly, and she looked up at the housekeeper.

She also wanted to give Yan Mingchuan acupuncture today to see if the toxins in his body had been completely eliminated.

The butler pursed his lips and replied, "I don't know. The master went back to Rose Manor a few days ago and hasn't come here."

I heard you're back today, so they specifically asked us to take good care of you. You should be back soon after you're done with your work.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. He's busy with his own things, don't worry about me." Cheng Xihe waved his hand and started eating.

The butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Talking to my wife is also very stressful, as I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing and affecting her and my husband's relationship.

Ignoring the housekeeper's dilemma, Cheng Xihe enjoyed a delicious meal and went upstairs.

Next week marks the start of my official university life, which means I'll be quite busy.

"Ring ring ring".

Just as Cheng Xihe returned to his dormitory, his phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and frowned.

Immediately, Cheng Xihe took out the black box for detecting signals and the computer.

After confirming that no one was listening, the call was answered: "Feed?"

"Spider, to make a long story short, I have a task that requires your cooperation. The time will be announced later. Are you available?"

The other person spoke ambiguously, and their voice had been altered.

Cheng Xihe's expression was serious, and he stated succinctly: "Time, place, and mission details."

"That was really satisfying!"

The other party praised him, and then said, "October 1st, the person I'm assisting is in country F, I'll help him leave."

"Going to steal again?" Cheng Xihe chuckled. "He went to steal during his last mission, and now he's doing it again?"

The venomous spiders had performed similar tasks before.

The person on the other end of the phone coughed twice: "It's not just that. This time it's because that family stole it from their ancestors."

We simply brought it back; how can that be called stealing?

"Okay, I understand."

Cheng Xihe reluctantly agreed.

The person on the other end of the phone added, "By the way, we're not providing any assistance for this mission. You must be careful when choosing your personnel."

After all, they had secretly retrieved the treasure, and if they were exposed, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

If someone finds out who I am, I'm finished.

"You're really asking for the horse to run but not feeding it. You want the things but don't ask for the people; are you treating it like a discarded pawn?"

Cheng Xihe spoke without any politeness.

"I'll leave the task to you, bye!" The person on the other end of the phone, having had enough, hung up.

Cheng Xihe shrugged: "That's it."

After finishing his business, Cheng Xihe finally lay down on the bed.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xihe picked up her phone again and sent a message to Yan Mingchuan.

Cheng Xihe: President Yan, aren't you going home today?

Yan Mingchuan: Go ahead and eat. You don't need to wait for me. Just tell the housekeeper what you want; we have everything we need.

Cheng Xihe: ...

Cheng Xihe: Okay.

After turning off WeChat, Cheng Xihe lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Inside the office.

After the meeting ended, Yan Mingchuan asked Su Jin next to him, "I've already checked on Xihe, I wonder how she is."

"What are you concerned about?" Su Jin looked at Yan Mingchuan, puzzled.

Yan Mingchuan said, "I asked Xihe..."

After repeating her question, Su Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "How did your sister-in-law reply?"

"It's nothing..." Yan Mingchuan handed the phone to Su Jin.

Su Jin glanced at it, her eyes widening: "Brother Yan, what are you doing?! Hahaha!"

As shrewd as Brother Yan is, he doesn't even know how to talk to girls properly. The words he says are so awkward, it's hilarious.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yan Mingchuan looked at Su Jin with a puzzled expression.

He felt that what he said was completely correct.

Politeness and concern can be considered a form of showing care and concern.

Moreover, it also means that Cheng Xihe doesn't have to worry about eating at all. Isn't that good enough?

"Hahaha!" Su Jin laughed heartily, "It's nothing, Brother Yan, let's go home after we finish dealing with this."

"Um."

Before long, Yan Mingchuan finished his work.

"Let's go, Ah Jin." Yan Mingchuan pushed the wheelchair to the door and saw Su Jin on the phone, looking excited.

He didn't leave; instead, he went back to his office, reviewed the remaining documents, and finished processing them.

"Knock knock knock".

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. "Brother Yan."

Yan Mingchuan looked up and saw Su Jin's delighted expression. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Come in."

"Brother Yan, there's been a breakthrough with the potions!"

Su Jin looked at Yan Mingchuan excitedly.

After so long, the medicine has finally made some progress.

Startled, Yan Mingchuan asked doubtfully, "A potion? Could it be the one we stole from the research institute before?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. Our people have figured out the principle, and they should be able to separate it, put it in a small bottle, and then do experiments."

Su Jin didn't know much, so she could only repeat what that person said.

I don't know about other things, but that medicine is a very precious original liquid, so it must be used sparingly.

"Okay, I understand."

Yan Mingchuan's face also showed a hint of joy.

"Then...Brother Yan, shall we go take a look now?"

Su Jin subconsciously glanced down at the time.

It's getting late, I should go home.

But medicine is also a very important matter, and we can't let going home delay it.

Su Jin glanced at Yan Mingchuan cautiously.

I hope that Brother Yan is not a foolish ruler.

"Indeed, a breakthrough in pharmaceuticals is a major event."

Yan Mingchuan paused, his mind already wandering elsewhere.

Even though Cheng Xihe could treat him, it wasn't fast.

If the medication works, perhaps one dose will be enough to restore him to normal.

"Brother Yan, how about we go take a look later?" Su Jin glanced at Yan Mingchuan's expression, waiting for his reply.

Yan Mingchuan tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the desk, then looked up. "Let's go to University A."

"The labs at University A are now incredibly useful, all thanks to Brother Yan's investment," Su Jin said, pushing Yan Mingchuan's wheelchair as she praised him.

Yan Mingchuan raised his hand: "There's no need to say such things anymore. Just go."

"Okay, Brother Yan."

The car drove away, speeding towards University A...
