A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

She pressed the jade pendant tightly against her chest, as if she could feel the warmth of Ye Heng's palm through the cool jade body.

"Thank you..." Her voice choked slightly, and when she looked up, her eyes were a little red.

"I really like it, I really... I like it very, very much."

She carefully held the jade pendant up to her eyes and examined it closely. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the faint light in the jade was lively and lovely, as if it had a life of its own.

She tried to infuse a tiny bit of her inner energy into it, and the jade pendant vibrated slightly, emitting a softer light that enveloped her, bringing an indescribable sense of security and tranquility.

This amazing reaction surprised her greatly. She looked up, her eyes shining even brighter, like a child who had received a beloved toy, filled with deep love and dependence.

"Ye Heng, it's amazing!" She rolled over and almost lay on top of Ye Heng, cupped his face, and kissed him hard on the lips, leaving a mark.

"This is the best birthday gift I've ever received!"

The joy in my heart overflowed, transforming into a deeper longing and a yearning for ordinary happiness.

She longed for more warm moments with him, like any ordinary couple.

So she nestled against his chest, looked up at him, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation:

"This afternoon...would you like to take me for a walk?"

She spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of expectation, like a little girl asking for candy.

"Just like... a normal couple going on a date," she paused, then added.

"I know you have your own path to walk, your own things to do, and... Su Yingxue."

"I never thought about competing for anything, nor did I ever crave any title. Just being able to occupy a small corner in your heart, and occasionally see you like this, is enough for me..."

She looked up at him, her usually captivating eyes now filled with an almost pure plea:

"This afternoon, can you treat me like a normal girl and go on a date with me?"

Ye Heng opened his eyes and met her eyes, which were somewhat vulnerable at that moment.

"You found out?"

"You're particularly interested in the Su family. As the master of Tianfeng Pavilion, I need to know which little beauty is causing our Mr. Ye so much trouble, can't I?"

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Ye Heng: "Su Yingxue, the president of the Su Group... your fiancée, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't bother her, and I won't make things difficult for you."

"As I said, I don't seek any title. This afternoon... just like this is good enough."

Ye Heng looked at her deliberately sensible and yielding demeanor, and the soft spot in his heart was gently touched.

He flicked his finger, lifting her chin so she couldn't look away from him.

"Liu Zhixian, in my eyes, there is no difference in status between you and Su Yingxue."

Liu Zhixian's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

"She's my fiancée, and you're my woman. That's all."

"so,"

He stroked her slightly parted red lips with his thumb. "There's no need to say anything about not seeking recognition or making concessions. I've made up my mind about you, and I won't let you suffer."

Liu Zhixian stared blankly at Ye Heng.

She had always thought that her secret relationship was destined to remain hidden in the shadows, carefully maintained. She never expected him to give her such a direct and unquestionable answer.

Liu Zhixian hugged Ye Heng's neck tightly and buried her face in his shoulder: "Ye Heng...you're such a bastard."

Ye Heng let her hug him, raised his hand to pat her back, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Are you still going shopping?" he asked.

"Go!" Liu Zhixian immediately raised her head, wiped her eyes haphazardly, and smiled as brightly as the summer sun.

"Of course I'll go! Right now!"

She nimbly rose from his embrace, her bare feet stepping onto the carpet as she walked briskly towards the inner room to change her clothes, her back view radiating joy and exuberance.

Ye Heng looked in the direction she disappeared and shook his head.

This cunning and sensitive fox can sometimes be quite easy to coax.

When Liu Zhixian came out of the inner room, she had changed out of her casual beige cotton clothes.

Unusually, she didn't choose the cheongsam that usually accentuates her classic and charming style, but instead wore a very well-tailored burgundy bodycon dress.

The dress perfectly hugged her curvaceous figure, from her slender waist to her full hips and straight, long legs, every inch exuding the unique sexiness and charm of a mature woman.

The skirt, reaching to the knees, perfectly showcased the beautiful lines of her calves.

She wore a pair of simple black stiletto heels, which made her figure appear even taller and more slender.

Her makeup was also more vibrant than usual, with fiery red lips that complemented the color of her dress perfectly. She looked like a blooming rose, delicate and radiant.

She walked up to Ye Heng, twirled slightly, her skirt tracing a graceful arc, and then looked at him with a hint of nervousness and anticipation:

"How's this outfit?"

Ye Heng nodded, his tone tinged with admiration: "Of course she looks beautiful. Our Zhixian looks good in anything."

This brief compliment instantly transformed Liu Zhixian's slight unease into secret joy.

She stepped forward and naturally took Ye Heng's arm: "Let's go then! It's a promise, this afternoon, you're mine!"

The two walked out of Fengwan Tower hand in hand.

Liu Zhixian didn't call a driver; instead, he personally drove a red Ferrari sports car out of the garage.

She handed the car keys to Ye Heng and got into the passenger seat.

The engine emitted a deep and pleasant roar as the sports car drove away from Fengwanlou and merged into the afternoon traffic of Jinling.

Before long, the two arrived at the mall.

Liu Zhixian linked arms with Ye Heng and walked briskly down the corridor.

Her gaze swept over the dazzling array of shop windows on both sides from time to time, and finally stopped in front of a high-end men's custom clothing store called "Yun Jin Ge".

"This place will do, it looks pretty good."

Ye Heng followed her gaze and saw that the store's decor was elegant, exuding understated luxury.

He smiled somewhat helplessly: "It's your birthday today, why are you buying me something instead?"

Liu Zhixian's eyes sparkled: "Being able to pick out clothes for you and watch you wear them is a wonderful birthday gift for me."

"Let's go in and take a look."

As the two stepped into the store, the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood and the distinctive aroma of high-end fabrics. The soft lighting illuminated the various suits and shirts on display, giving them an exceptional feel.

A female shop assistant in uniform came up to them, her eyes quickly scanning the two of them.

Liu Zhixian wore a bodycon dress made of excellent material, exuding outstanding temperament and stunning beauty.

Ye Heng, who was standing next to her, was tall and handsome, but he was wearing a very ordinary casual outfit with no brand information, which seemed out of place with the style of the store.

A barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in the female shop assistant's eyes.

Especially when she saw Liu Zhixian's appearance, which she could not compare to, her contempt was mixed with a hint of jealousy.

She forced a smile: "Welcome to Yun Jin Pavilion. What would you two like to see?"

"I want to pick out a suit for him." Liu Zhixian seemed oblivious to the other person's attitude and enthusiastically pulled Ye Heng toward the display area.

The female shop assistant followed behind, her attitude somewhat perfunctory, only giving brief answers when Liu Zhixian asked about the fabric or style.

Their gazes were mostly drawn to the obviously expensive bag in Liu Zhixian's hand.

Liu Zhixian didn't care; her attention was entirely on Ye Heng.

She carefully examined the clothes on the hanger, comparing them to Ye Heng's figure and temperament, and finally her gaze fell on a burgundy suit.

This suit has a rich color that doesn't appear frivolous; the cut is clean and the details are exquisite.

Most importantly, it matches the bodycon skirt she's wearing today.
