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

The next day.

The morning sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, bathing the steamer on the stove in a warm golden hue.

Ye Heng served the last side dish.

His movements were practiced, but he sighed inwardly.

After Su Yingxue slammed the door and left last night, she will definitely not calm down anytime soon.

So he made breakfast, which was his way of showing goodwill.

Of course, given Su Yingxue's personality, she might not appreciate it.

When Ye Heng carried breakfast out of the kitchen, the living room was empty.

A slight noise came from upstairs. A moment later, Su Yingxue, dressed in a well-tailored black suit and high heels, walked down the stairs.

Her makeup was exquisite, her expression indifferent. Her gaze swept over Ye Heng as if she hadn't seen him, and she walked straight to the entrance.

"Breakfast is ready," Ye Heng said.

Su Yingxue changed her shoes without pausing at all, as if she hadn't heard anything.

"I made millet porridge. Your stomach isn't good, so it's better on an empty stomach..."

"Bang."

His response was the crisp sound of the door closing.

Ye Heng stood there, looking at the still steaming insulated bag in his hand, and finally felt a faint sense of helplessness.

The black sedan smoothly drove away from the villa area and merged into the morning rush hour traffic.

Su Yingxue gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

Her mind kept replaying Ye Heng's resolute "impossible" last night, and how he casually served breakfast this morning.

A gurgling sound came from her stomach, reminding her that she had barely eaten or drunk anything since last night.

Actually, as she walked down the stairs, she smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen—the warm, mellow fragrance of perfectly cooked millet porridge, seemingly mixed with the sweetness of shrimp dumplings.

She could even picture Ye Heng busy in the kitchen, his movements still unhurried and unhurried, with an annoying composure.

He clearly did something wrong, he clearly rejected her request so explicitly, so why can he act like nothing happened?

"Hypocritical," Su Yingxue said.

The moment she closed the door, she felt not relief, but a deeper sense of grievance.

She desperately wanted Ye Heng to rush out and hug her as she left the room, and tell her that he had agreed to her request.

Su Yingxue looked at the passenger seat.

Normally at this time, Ye Heng would be in the driver's seat, while she could use this time to quickly browse today's schedule emails or financial briefings from the passenger seat.

He was a very good driver, so smooth that the ride was almost imperceptible, a fact she had secretly acknowledged.

"Su Yingxue, how can you be so weak-willed? You're not allowed to think about him anymore!"

Su Yingxue quickly shook her head, trying to get the image of that man out of her mind.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

She also has the Su Group to manage, with countless meetings, decisions, and negotiations awaiting her.

Ye Heng… She needed time and a more calm approach to dealing with Ye Heng's problem. Her grandfather's health, the company's stability, and her own pride prevented her from losing her composure over this matter.

inside the house.

Ye Heng could only repack the carefully prepared breakfast.

Su Yingxue isn't eating it, so we can't let it go to waste.

He took a taxi to the Su Group Building.

Just as I stepped into the elevator and pressed the floor button, and the elevator doors were about to close, a slender figure rushed over.

"Please wait a moment!"

It is Xia He.

She wore a light blue suit today, with light makeup and her long hair tied in a neat ponytail. She looked quite energetic, but there were still faint dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept well last night.

Upon seeing Ye Heng in the elevator, her eyes lit up, and she jogged in.

"Ye Heng! Good morning!" Her voice was filled with joy as she stood beside him, looking up at him with sparkling eyes.

"Why are you up so early too?"

"Good morning," Ye Heng replied, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's alright, it's just... I was a little worried about my brother. I talked to Mr. Lu on the phone, and he said my brother's condition was stable, so I felt a little relieved."

"Xia He said, noticing the rather exquisite-looking insulated bag Ye Heng was carrying, "Oh, you brought breakfast?"

"Mm." Ye Heng nodded. The elevator was going up. In the small space, you could smell the faint scent of her shampoo mixed with a fresh soapy smell. She looked very clean.

He recalled Su Yingxue's always impeccably tailored suits and her cool perfume scent, and a subtle contrast arose in his mind.

"Did you make this yourself?" Xia He asked curiously, her eyes fixed on the insulated bag.

"I guess so," Ye Heng said casually.

Looking into the girl's clear, curious eyes, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Su Yingxue didn't want this breakfast, and he himself had no appetite for it; rather than leaving it there, perhaps…

The elevator dinged as it arrived at the floor where the Strategic Investment Department was located.

The door opened, and Ye Heng turned around, handing the insulated bag in his hand to Xia He.

"I brought this for you."

"what?"

Xia He froze, glancing at the insulated bag, then at Ye Heng, her cheeks flushing red at a visible speed. She stammered, "..."

"For me? Did you bring this especially for me?"

Her heart was pounding; at that moment, surprise clearly overwhelmed everything else.

He actually... brought her breakfast?

Looking at her face, which flushed instantly and her eyes, Ye Heng felt a strange dissipation of the slight annoyance he had felt because of Su Yingxue.

This girl's emotions are always so straightforward; her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all written on her face. You don't need to put in too much effort to be with her.

"Mmm, eat it while it's hot."

He nodded, not denying the term "specialized".

Anyway, Su Yingxue won't know, so there's nothing wrong with using it to make this girl happy.

Looking at her smile, he seemed to feel a little more relaxed as well.

"Really? Thank you! Ye Heng, you're so kind!" Xia He took the insulated bag, hugged it to her chest, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"I haven't had breakfast yet! I overslept today and I'm afraid I'll be late..."

"Let's eat in the office, not in the public area."

Ye Heng gave a reminder and stepped out of the elevator.

"Mmm! I know!" Xia He followed Ye Heng, secretly glancing at his profile.

In his heart, he must still feel very special.

The two walked into the office area of ​​the strategic investment department one after the other.

Several colleagues who arrived early saw them come in together, and when they saw the bag Xia He was carrying, they all had gossipy expressions on their faces.

The two returned to their workstations.

Xia He ate the breakfast Ye Heng brought in small bites. The millet porridge was cooked until soft, sticky, and sweet, and the shrimp dumplings were filled with fresh and juicy filling.

She lowered her head, her ears slightly red, feeling both happy and a little embarrassed.

Ye Heng sat at the workstation next to her. Although he didn't say anything, his silent companionship made her feel especially at ease.

"It's on here." Ye Heng's voice suddenly rang out beside him.

Xia He was stunned. Before she could react, a soft tissue had already gently wiped the corner of her mouth, taking away the mischievous grain of rice.

His movements were natural and casual, but the warmth transmitted through the tissue from his fingertips made Xia He's heart skip a beat, and her cheeks instantly burned.

"Th-thank you..." she said softly.

"Eat slowly, don't choke," Ye Heng said with a smile.

Xia He nodded, then secretly glanced at him quickly.

"Ye Heng, are you staying in the office today?"

"Well, nothing much for now," Ye Heng replied, his gaze already fixed on the closed door of the minister's office not far away.

Come to think of it, he hasn't seen Qiao Wei since that last time.

Now that Su Wangchuan has fallen from power, this woman must be feeling very uneasy!

Thinking of this, Ye Heng stood up.

"I'm going to the minister's office; there's something on work-related," he said to Xia He.

Xia He quickly swallowed the food in her mouth: "Oh, okay...you go ahead and get busy."

Ye Heng nodded, strode straight to the minister's office, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Qiao Wei's voice came from inside, sounding as if she was trying hard to remain calm.

Ye Heng pushed the door open and entered, then gently closed it behind him.
