Ye Xinghe's thoughts were drawn back to her previous life. She remembered that not long after she married Chu Mofan, she once added peach vinegar to a dish, which caused Wang Lijun to have an allergic reaction all over her body, vomiting and having diarrhea. She finally recovered after receiving intravenous drips for a month.

After Wang Lijun was discharged from the hospital that time, she was severely scolded when she got home. So she definitely couldn't have remembered it wrong! Could it be that Wang Lijun's constitution has changed in this life?

Ye Xinghe decided to try again, perhaps it wasn't the right amount yet.

"Aunt Wang, you like peaches too? What a coincidence! I picked a lot of peaches at the peach orchard in Qiandao Lake a few days ago and made a lot of desserts. I brought them over for you to try."

Next, Ye Xinghe and Qiao Lin brought out various desserts: dried peaches, canned peaches, black tea pickled peaches, and peach milk jelly.

"Aunt Wang, I made all of these myself. My dad said they weren't good. He doesn't know anything about food." Ye Xinghe pouted, feigning coquettishness. "Brother Mofan, you should try some too."

Ye Xinghe held up a plate of pickled peaches in black tea and brought it to Wang Lijun's mouth. "Aunt Wang, this is pickled peaches in black tea. It's been pickled for a day and a night, and I've also added honey. Please try it and give me your feedback."

At Ye Xinghe's enthusiastic recommendation, Wang Lijun tried everything. She only stopped when Ye Xingyu and Ye Xingchen returned.

Wang Lijun gave Chu Mofan a wink, and then Chu Mofan presented the final, grand gift.

"Aunt Mu, this is the miraculous bone-setting medicine I told you about when we were in the hospital—the Divine Dragon White Bone True Essence Pill. Taking one pill can make broken bones heal quickly."

"This is the long-lost bone-setting medicine?!" Ye Xingchen snatched it away, his eyes widening with excitement. "I heard about it from my teacher when I was in college, but I only saw pictures back then. I never thought I'd see the real thing today! I have to take a picture to remember this."

"What kind of medicine is so potent? Let me see." Ye Xinghe quickly came over, mainly worried that Wang Lijun might poison her older brother. "Could this long-lost elixir have expired?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is made using a furnace refining technique with a thousand-year history, which can guarantee that the elixir will not deteriorate or become ineffective. Moreover, look at the clear texture of these dragon scales and the golden luster. This is definitely a genuine elixir." Once Ye Xingchen started talking about academic topics, he couldn't stop.

"And do you know what's most amazing about this pill? It emits a faint golden light in the dark. In today's terms, you could call that an anti-counterfeiting mark." After saying that, Ye Xingchen took a blanket from the sofa and covered the pill with it.

Ye Xinghe peeked out and saw that it was indeed emitting a faint light. It seemed that Wang Lijun had really given her a treasure.

Wang Lijun secretly rejoiced, thankful that she hadn't tried to fool the Ye family with a fake one, otherwise things would have gone terribly wrong.

Mr. and Mrs. Ye Minghan were deeply grateful for Wang Lijun's generous gift and immediately wanted to transfer 100 million yuan to Chu Mofan.

Chu Mofan naturally wouldn't take the money; he wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to the Ye family.

“Uncle Ye, you’re being too polite by bringing up money. Xingyu and I have been colleagues for so many years, and when I tutored Xinghe, you often gave me extra money for my lessons. Medicine is meant to save lives; if it’s just sitting there, it loses its purpose.”

Ye Minghan is a businessman, and his approach to problem-solving reflects a businessman's mindset: "Everything is about money!" He tries to resolve issues with money rather than personal relationships. However, Chu Mofan's act of gratitude made it impossible for him to bring up the matter of money again.

"Brother Mofan, last time you came to my house, my older brother sprained his ankle. This time, my older brother broke his leg. What a coincidence! It seems like this medicine of yours was prepared for my older brother." Ye Xinghe joked with a grin until Mu Jinyue glared at her fiercely before she stopped.

"Mo Fan, please accept this." Mu Jinyue took out a card and placed it in Chu Mo Fan's hand. "I really liked the brooch you gave me last time. This is a small token of my appreciation. This card can be redeemed for two suits, any style will do. You need to wear formal attire to work anyway, so it should come in handy."

Chu Mofan took it and saw that it was from the high-end bespoke suit brand, Brioni. A suit from this brand costs around 10 yuan, so two suits would cost about 20 yuan. The Ye family was indeed generous.

"Aunt Mu, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I really need this gift you gave me."

At this moment, Aunt Mei came to the living room and announced that dinner was ready.

Lunch was arranged in the gazebo in the backyard, a deliberate choice by Ye Xinghe. It was shaded, well-ventilated, and offered a pleasant view. Most importantly, it was right next to the two peach trees.

The servants carried the dishes to the table one by one. There were peach roasted ribs, peach baked chicken wings, honey peach chicken, peach roasted steak, peach slice cheese fried chicken breast salad, and several plates of stir-fried greens and cold dishes, all with peach vinegar. The dessert was peach cheese mousse.

Ye Xinghe introduced each dish with a smile, "Aunt Wang, to welcome you, I specially chose a peach theme. In our traditional Chinese culture, peaches represent auspiciousness, health, and longevity. Since you happen to love them, let's dig in."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of peach-flavored pork rib and put it on Wang Lijun's plate.

Wang Lijun gave a strange, forced, and stiff smile. She never expected that the entire table of dishes would be related to peaches.

She has a habit of taking allergy medication before eating out. She does this not just to fit in, but also to prevent others from knowing her weakness. Outsiders have no idea that she's allergic to peaches.

At this moment, Wang Lijun cursed Ye Xinghe a thousand times in her heart. That damned girl, she really is incompatible with me! There's not a single dish on this whole table that I can eat!

She could only grit her teeth and eat some meat that had less contact with peaches. She picked up a piece of pork rib from the plate, took a bite, and smiled brightly, saying, "This is the first time I've eaten a delicious dish made with peaches. It really has a unique flavor."

"Aunt Wang, you can eat it with peaches. The aroma of the meat combined with the fragrance of the peaches will make it even more delicious." Ye Xinghe then placed a piece of grilled steak on Wang Lijun's plate, topped with several slices of peach.

Chu Mofan knew his mother was allergic to peaches and was almost unable to smile anymore, so he quickly said, "Xinghe, you eat your own, you don't need to take special care of my mother."

Ye Xinghe looked at Chu Mofan with an innocent expression and teased, "Brother Mofan, are you blaming me for not taking good care of you? Aunt Wang is the most important guest in my family. My only task today is to make Aunt Wang happy."
