The Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup, with its pure white, milk-like broth, entered Song Yan’s mouth, and the look of shock on her face intensified. She exclaimed in disbelief,
“Dr. Chen, your specially prepared medicinal cuisine is absolutely the most delicious I’ve ever tasted in my life!”
She had sampled renowned delicacies from all over the globe, and her discerning palate was far beyond that of ordinary people.
What shocked her even more profoundly was that after the rich soup entered her stomach, she distinctly felt a mysterious warmth surge through her limbs, making her breathing exceptionally smooth and her spirit incredibly full.
For a moment, she couldn’t help but gulp down two large bowls consecutively.
Seeing the stewpot nearing its end, Chen Xiao quickly intervened,
“Miss Song, please exercise restraint. While consuming excessive amounts of Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup is beneficial and harmless, you need to consume the broth continuously for seven days to cure the illness. If you finish it all at once, it will be time-consuming and laborious for me to stew it again.”
“This…”
Song Yan was speechless, her expression clearly conveying her disappointment at not being able to continue enjoying the delicacy. She pleaded with longing eyes,
“Dr. Chen, just let me drink my fill in one go. Growing up, I’ve never experienced such an unparalleled delicacy!”
Chen Xiao, torn between amusement and exasperation, said,
“As long as you don’t finish the broth and keep it simmering on low heat to preserve it, you can add ingredients and water in proportion when needed, and it will be another pot of delicious medicinal cuisine. Moreover, I guarantee that the longer the broth is preserved, the better the taste of the Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup will become!”
“Really?”
Song Yan was both surprised and delighted, anxiously pressing,
“Dr. Chen, if you say so, can I make the Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup the signature dish of Partridge Sky?”
Fearing Chen Xiao’s refusal, she immediately added,
“If you agree, we’ll split the profits fifty-fifty for every bowl sold. I can even prepay you a million in dividends right now!”
As she spoke, she eagerly took out her phone to transfer money to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao recalled Song Yan’s strong defense of him in front of Ye Qingtian earlier and readily took out his phone,
“Of course!”
Following this, he even personally taught Song Yan how to add ingredients and water in the correct proportions to stew the delicious Dragon Liver Phoenix Marrow Soup.
During this time, thinking that Chen Qing would be unattended after he returned to work the next day, he couldn’t help but ask Song Yan,
“Miss Song, do you have any reliable nanny recommendations? My mother has been discharged and is home, but I have to go back to work at the hospital tomorrow. I’m simply overwhelmed, so I’m urgently looking to hire a nanny to take care of her daily needs.”
Song Yan’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly interjected,
“Dr. Chen, please go to work with peace of mind. Leave Auntie to me. If I’m too busy, my sister can also help!”
Unknowingly, she had already been moved by Chen Xiao’s continuously displayed astonishing medical skills and almost magical culinary prowess. Now that she had an opportunity to spend more time with Chen Xiao, she was naturally unwilling to miss it.
Chen Xiao would never have imagined that the daughter of the richest man would intend to personally act as a nanny to care for Chen Qing. He nodded with a smile,
“I’ll transfer the money to you when I know how much is needed.”
He paused, then, remembering the enemies he had made in the past two days, he added,
“It would be even better if we could hire a few more bodyguards with real skills.”
Song Yan, without hesitation, patted her chest and assured,
“No problem!”
At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly received a call from an unknown number:
“Chen, if you don’t obediently crawl back to Jishetang to die, we brothers won’t be able to resist taking turns being your father, hehe.”
“Who are you?”
Chen Xiao’s hair stood on end, and his expression instantly turned grim.
But the other party ignored him and directly hung up.
Sensing Chen Xiao’s change in demeanor, Song Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and she anxiously asked,
“Dr. Chen, what happened? Is Ye Qingtian starting to retaliate against you?”
Chen Xiao suppressed the unease and anger in his heart, his voice trembling with emotion,
“Can I borrow a car? I need to get home urgently.”
“Follow me!”
Song Yan didn’t dare to ask further. She quickly handed the keys to her incredibly stylish and cool Maserati to Chen Xiao and hurried downstairs to lead the way.
…
It was already late at night, with a dark sky and strong winds.
The main door of Jishetang was tightly shut, the side door ajar, and the surroundings were deathly silent.
Zheng Youzhi greedily eyed Chen Qing on the hospital bed, her beauty undiminished and her charm still potent. He spoke lewdly,
“You slut named Chen, hurry up and undress. Your son has caused my funding to be cut off, and I must collect some interest from you!”
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, blocking the doorway on either side, took out their phones with schadenfreude, ready to record.
Chen Qing was terrified but showed no fear, feigning composure as she said,
“Three sirs, have you misunderstood? My son has always been self-disciplined and law-abiding…”
“Misunderstood your mother!”
Zheng Youzhi viciously kicked over the stool in front of him and then lunged at Chen Qing on the hospital bed like a famished tiger,
“Since you won’t undress, I’ll help you!”
