A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Chi Ruiche immediately squatted down to check her feet: "Aunt Wang, call Zhao Mingyang to come over."

Aunt Wang dropped the rag, shook the water off her hands, wiped them on her apron, and dialed the phone. "Dr. Zhao said he'll be here in a bit."

"Where are you? Send me your location, I'll be right there." Jiang Yang didn't care about his image, grabbed his suit jacket and left the office.

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Yangming rushed over with a first-aid kit. "Boss, I came here without even eating. It turns out you've been enjoying a feast here."

"She has a torn ligament in her ankle and just cried out in pain." Chi Ruiche handed him the X-ray.

Zhao Yangming put away his smile, removed the bandage, sprayed some medicine, and re-bandaged it: "Apply heat to the affected area to promote blood circulation. Elevating your legs will also help with circulation. Rest in bed well."

"She cried out in pain." Chi Ruiche placed a cushion under her ankle.

"Che, I don't hurt that much anymore, don't be nervous." Jiang Yi lowered her skirt and comforted Chi Ruiche, who was being so careful.

"Congestion and swelling are unavoidable, it will get better in a few days." Zhao Yangming's professionalism prevented him from arguing with Chi Ruiche. This big boss was calling him a little bit of a problem, but this was the first time he had seen him care about a girl so much. There must be a story behind this.

Jiang Yang arrived at the villa using the location tracking and immediately saw Jiang Yi reclining on the sofa: "How is it?"

"Brother, I need to rest in bed and can't move around easily." Jiang Yi looked aggrieved, her watery eyes staring innocently at Zhao Yangming.

Zhao Yangming stood there dumbfounded, silently. Hadn't she just been comforting Chi Ruiche, saying everything was alright? Why the sudden change of expression?

"Don't move, okay? Just stay put." Jiang Yang had no choice but to compromise. Seeing the bandage on her face, he realized she had fallen quite badly and forgot to get angry for a moment.

"What about Grandpa...?"

"I'll help you sort things out." Jiang Yang pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly.

"I'll see you out." Chi Ruiche issued the order to leave. Zhao Yangming, this tool, was sent away without even having a sip of water. He secretly resolved to take advantage of Chi Ruiche next time.

"Brother, have you eaten? Let's eat together." Jiang Yiyu got downstairs.

"Don't move, ancestor. Don't get hurt again." Jiang Yang stopped her; this troublesome person was still given to Chi Ruiche.

"I'll carry you." Chi Ruiche quickly stepped forward to stop her, and carried her to the restaurant. He had Aunt Wang put several layers of cushions under her feet to create a slight difference in height between her legs.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll definitely be able to attend your wedding."

"Please don't wear high heels that day." Jiang Yang poured her another glass of juice. "Ruozhi invited you to be her bridesmaid, but there's not enough time, so I'll decline for you. You can just come along for dinner."

"I'd love to be one. I'll be ready in half a month, so it won't interfere with your rehearsals." Jiang Yi had never been a bridesmaid before and was looking forward to it.

"Your injuries?" Jiang Yang pointed to his forehead: "How did you fall? You have injuries all over your face."

"An accident." Jiang Yi nervously took a sip of water, lowered his head to eat the food Chi Ruiche had picked up for him, and felt a little guilty, avoiding eye contact.

"We'll see how you recover." Jiang Yang leaned back lazily in his chair after finishing a bowl of rice. "Xiao Che has been working hard these past few days. If she causes any trouble, just tell me."

"Yi Yi is very well-behaved." Chi Ruiche's eyes, filled with a smile, were exceptionally deep as he fed Jiang Yang a generous amount of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

After Jiang Yang finished eating, he gave a few instructions and said that he would come often if he had nothing to do. He asked Chi Ruiche to prepare a bedroom for him and that he had to keep an eye on Jiang Yi.

"I never thought my brother was this annoying before. He was much more capable than me when he was a gangster. He secretly lived with Sister Lin Xi and even asked me to bring him underwear." Jiang Yi muttered complaints after Jiang Yang left. Aunt Wang cut up a peach and handed it to Chi Ruiche.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang." Jiang Yi's thoughts were pulled back by the peach. Chi Ruiche forked the peach and fed it to her. She took a bite with satisfaction and then gestured to Chi Ruiche that she could do it herself.

"looking at what?"

“Before I returned to China, a studio invited me for an interview, but now it has to be put on hold. They said I could go when I'm better, and I'm replying to their emails.”

"In Xijing?" Chi Ruiche fed him another piece.

"Yes, you can come with me then."

"it is good."

Jiang Yi spent half a month in the villa, living a carefree and lazy life. Chi Ruiche went to work every morning and returned home promptly at eight o'clock every evening. He helped her bathe and dry her hair. The wounds on her face had healed, and after the scabs fell off, light pink skin was revealed. The pain in her feet was also not severe, but Chi Ruiche was still worried and ordered her to rest. When he was not home, Aunt Wang took care of Jiang Yi, and occasionally she would sit in her wheelchair and go to the garden to get some fresh air.

"Yunyun, Mr. Chi treats that young lady so well. When will I be able to find a boyfriend like that?" The maid clasped her hands together and silently prayed to herself. Neither of them noticed Jiang Yi behind them.

"Superficial." Ji Yun rolled her eyes. "What do you think of me?"

"It looks good," the maid replied without hesitation.

"Am I prettier than that lady?" Ji Yun swayed her waist and struck a pose.

"You're not still dreaming, are you? Stop thinking about it. There aren't that many Cinderella fairy tales." The maid covered her mouth, thinking that she had toned it down after Aunt Wang's reprimand last time, but it turned out she was still thinking about comparing herself to others.

“No ambition.”

"Your beauty is a bit vulgar, while that young lady's beauty is ethereal. Each has its own merits." The maid continued wiping the table, watching Ji Yun daydreaming without disturbing her, and dutifully went about her business.

Jiang Yi listened quietly to their conversation, her long eyelashes concealing her smile, and sent a text message to Chi Ruiche: Che, you're quite charming.

Chi Ruiche: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Jiang Yi's smile deepened, and she lightly replied: "Come back soon, I'm waiting for you to eat."
