Hu Ke had been busy making incense the entire morning and did not even leave her room. Bian Fang went out to buy fresh vegetables that the nutritionist wanted. The entire villa was surprisingly quiet.

An Wen found Bai Xiao’s villa according to her memory. The servant who was watering the flowers and weeding the plants in the garden remembered her and quickly greeted her. An Wen greeted her with a calm smile and chatted with her.

It was lunchtime by the time Hu Ke finished making the fifty incense towers that day. She stretched her shoulders and went downstairs to wash her hands and eat.

In addition to the usual staple food and side dishes, there was also a soup for lunch today. Hu Ke turned her head to look at the food that the nutritionist had prepared, but she did not find this soup on the list.

The servant at the side seemed to have noticed her confusion and explained to her, “This is extra. Young Master saw your record yesterday. You have to replenish your protein during this period of time, so he added some soup. This crucian carp soup has been boiling for three hours. It’s good for your skin.”

Hu Ke thought of the milk she drank for no reason last night and started eating without thinking much. The fish soup was different from what she usually drank. It had a slightly bitter taste. Hu Ke frowned and took another sip. She took out her phone and typed.

[The soup is a little bitter. Was the fish not prepared well?]

The servant at the side saw the words on it and quickly explained, “No, we seriously remove the internal organs and fish scales. It should be because we added Chinese medicine. Young Madam, if you don’t like it, we’ll pay attention next time.”

Hu Ke accepted this explanation and nodded before continuing to eat.

After dinner, Hu Ke returned to her room to continue her incense making business. Naturally, she did not see the servant throw the remaining residue of the soup into the garbage processor. The remaining soup was also flushed into the sewer.

Hu Ke was busy making incense the entire day and only went downstairs at dinner time. After she finished eating, Bai Xiao returned home and went straight upstairs to his room.

His work was far more stressful than he had imagined. The bidding for the West Coast project would begin in a week. During this period, Bai Xiao needed to be fully prepared because they were not the only ones fighting for the project.

Hu Ke and Bian Fang walked a few rounds in the garden before returning. The servant who stayed in the room worriedly came over and told Bian Fang that Bai Xiao had not left the room since he returned home, nor had she eaten dinner.

Bian Fang frowned slightly. After sighing, she turned around and entered the kitchen. She made a bowl of Yang Chun noodles for Bai Xiao and even added a soft egg.

“When Young Master was in university, he didn’t eat regularly and had gastric problems. Now that he was working, he was still the same. If he ate a little more at night or ate something that can’t be digested, his stomach would hurt too. He can’t drink alcohol either. If he drank too much, his stomach would hurt too,” Bian Fang cooked noodles and said gently to Hu Ke.

“Actually, Young Master is a very nice person. When my daughter was in her second year of junior high school, she got into a car accident. At that time, I was working in the Bai family. When I received a call from the hospital, I was about to go crazy. But at that time, I was not allowed to use my master’s car. Young Master specially instructed the driver, and he brought me to the hospital. He even donated blood to my daughter.”

Fragrance wafted out of the kitchen. Bian Fang put two vegetables into the water and continued to look at the fire. Through the dense dog, Hu Ke could not see the expression on Bian Fang’s face, but she suddenly felt that a part of her heart was touched.

“Young Master grew up with Old Madam and Old Master. At that time, Old Madam and Old Master were busy doing business. Young Master was bullied by ignorant brats who said that he didn’t have parents. It was Old Master and Old Madam who protected him. So Miss, you have to know that Old Master has a different weight in Young Master’s heart.”

Hu Ke didn’t make a sound. She knew what Bian Fang wanted to say and just listened quietly. The two of them were exceptionally harmonious.

The noodles were finally cooked. The snow-white Yuan Chuan noodles were soaked in chicken soup, covered with a tender egg and had two green vegetable stalks. They were warm and steaming. Bian Fang placed the noodles on a tray and planned to send them to Bai Xiao.

“Therefore, Miss, although your marriage with Young Master is probably an act, I sincerely hope that you can continue to get along with Young Master, even if it’s fake. This is Old Master’s wish.”

When Bian Fang was about to leave with the tray, Hu Ke also stood up. She took the tray from Bian Fang and walked upstairs.
