There were three dishes and one soup for dinner.

The first dish was a clear stir-fried pig kidney.

Pig kidney contains micromineral elements like zinc, iron, copper, and phosphorus, as well as vitamins and fats.

This is a good dish to alleviate ageing.

The next dish was sauteed green beans with river prawns.

Both the green beans and river prawns are high-protein foods that have a strong lactogenic effect, promoting healthy breast development.

This is considered an excellent dish for breast enhancement.

Ni Chenggui ordered the Sour Fish dish.

Aside from tasting good, Sour Fish had no other effects.

Finally, there was a dish of stewed carp with kelp and pork feet, another breast enhancement dish.

The main dish was chive porridge.

As recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica, Chives porridge warms up the center and the lower body.

Daytime Compendium of Materia Medica states: It helps stop diarrhea and bleeding, warms the waist and knees, eliminates cold obstructions in heart and chest, painful menstruation and abdominal pain.

Therefore, Chive Porridge has the effect of driving away cold and warming the womb, which is extremely beneficial for women, especially for those like Ni Cuihua who are in confinement.

Ordinary people who consume it also benefit from its beautifying and rejuvenating effects.

Women are always more beautiful when they are warm.

As soon as Ni Yang served the dishes, Ni Chenggui walked in with a bag, Good timing! Yangyang, can we start dinner yet? Wheres your mom?

Ni Yang replied with a smile, Aunt Ni is back, my mom is putting my sister to sleep, if you are hungry, feel free to start first.

Ni Chenggui put his bag aside, Ill wash my hands first. Lets start the meal together when your mom is here. Ni Chenggui wasnt the type to be impolite.

Meanwhile, at the base.

Sitting in his office, Mo Baichuan rubbed his temples tiredly after a long day of work. Remembering something, he picked up the telephone on the desk, dialed a number.

A moment later, the call was connected.

Hello, Aunt Wu, its me. Perhaps due to not speaking for a while, his voice sounded deep and husky, filled with magnetism.

On the other end of the line, Aunt Wu quickly handed the phone to an elderly woman with white hair.

Hello, Xiaochuan! My dear boy, when will you come back to visit your grandma? The elderly womans face lit up with a loving smile, her speech sweetly childlike.

Grandma, Ill come to see you as soon as 1 finish my work. His expression softened somewhat. How are you and grandpa doing?

Were good, were all good, you dont have to worry about us, replied grandma quickly.

And Xiaodie? asked Baichuan, how is Xiaodie doing recently?

At his words.

Grandmas face dimmed slightly. Shes still the same

Baichuan rubbed at his forehead, his face a mask of worry. His tone remained steady however, comforting, Grandma, dont worry about Xiaodie. Good people have a way of pulling through. Our medical technology is very advanced now. If worse comes to worst, we can go to the USA or the UK. Xiaodie will surely get better one day.

Grandma responded, A few days ago, 1 heard from your Uncle Li that there is a renowned doctor in Jiangnan who is a descendant of Hua Tuo and is skilled in treating complex diseases. Grandpa has already sent for him, hoping he can cure Xiaodies illness.

If hes as good as they say he is, Im sure hell definitely be able to cure Xiaodie, Baichuan replied, Grandma, has any stranger visited our house lately? Possibly carrying a watch of mine?

No, replied Grandma, frowning slightly. Ive been at home all these days and havent seen any strangers. Did you lose your watch?

No? Are you sure? Baichuans brows knitted together in confusion, Never mind then, grandma. If you do see anyone, remember to call and let me know.

Alright. Mrs. Mo nodded, a flicker of doubt in her eyes.

Mo Baichuan hung up the phone, stood up, and walked to the balcony. He gazed at the stars in the sky as if lost in thought.

His exquisite peach blossom eyes, deep as the darkest night, seemed to blend seamlessly with the dazzling trail of stars.

He was wearing a military green shirt. The second button was undone, revealing his beautifully curved collarbone and the appealing knot of his throat. Above that was his distinct jawline, sharply defined facial features, and smooth skin that seemed carved to perfection.

A strong aura emanated from him.

Just standing there casually, he made it impossible for others to reach him or dare to approach.

He was thinking about Ni Yang.

By his count, Ni Yang had been in Beijing for five or six days now. Why hadnt she come to see him at Mo Family?

What kind of person was Ni Yang, really?

Mo Baichuan had seen countless people in his life, but Ni Yang was the only person he could not figure out.

Though she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, his instincts told him she was not as simple as she appeared.

Ordinary girls her age didnt have her kind of courage and determination.

Mo Baichuans brow furrowed as the realization dawned on him that he was becoming increasingly infatuated with the girl. This was not a good sign. He slowly pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

With a clink, a chain of ghostly blue flame leaped up from the silver lighter.

Mo Baichuan held the cigarette in the corner of his mouth and took a deep drag. The fresh taste of tobacco hit the back of his throat, instantly sobering him.

He stared at the starry night sky, with an indescribable look in his eyes. In between inhaling and exhaling smoke, he had a sexy charm about him.

No matter where such a man went, he would always be the center of attention.

Li Xianxian was coming from afar. She couldnt help but decrease her pace and stood stupefied, looking at Mo Baichuans silhouette profile, her gaze almost fanatical.

She had never seen a man who looked so attractive, even while smoking.

From any angle, he was flawless.

If she had to describe him in four words.

It would be.

Refined and profound.

Li Xianxian took a deep breath, hid the fanaticism deep in her eyes, and casually walked up to Mo Baichuan. Speaking in a gentle tone, she said,Mr. Mo, the young girl you asked me to look up, shes married. If you intend to meet her, it might be a bit inconvenient.

At this moment, Li Xianxian still didnt know that Mu Yang had changed her name to Ni Yang and had left Dam Village for Beijing.

Married? Mo Baichuan squinted slightly, When was this?

Just a few days ago, Li Xianxian softly explained, This is often how it is in rural areas. People marry off young because of poverty. 1 also heard that the girl married quite well. The man may be a bit older, but he has land, a house, and money. She wont have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

This statement implied that Ni Yang had not married a man, but had married money!

Because at this time, the freedom of marriage was in vogue, and even families couldnt force someone to marry against their will.

Thinking of the watch that Ni Yang had swindled from him, a cold light flashed in Mo Baichuans eyes.

He must have been out of his mind.

To fall for someone like that!

Noticing Mo Baichuans change of expression, a fleeting look of satisfaction flashed in Li Xianxians eyes.

Mr. Mo, even though its summer, the nights can still be chilly. You should go inside and rest, Li Xianxian continued to say.

Mo Baichuan flicked away the ash from his cigarette, his thin lips parted to issue a dismissal, You may go first.

Li Xianxian remained where she stood, understandingly said, Mr. Mo, 1 noticed there are some clothes in your room that need washing. I have some laundry to do too, so Ill take them and wash them with mine. Despite the interrogative nature of her phrasing, she spoke in a declarative tone..
