Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Yan Ruyu Company, President's Office.

Ji Ruoyu, dressed in a business suit, was finishing up some work.

Although he only wore light makeup, it instantly elevated his beauty to a whole new level.

Xiao Yao glanced at the time and said, "President Ji, it's time here. You haven't eaten anything all day."

"If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it."

He was running around with Ji Ruoyu all day, so busy he barely had time to breathe, but he didn't miss lunch or his afternoon rest.

However, Ji Ruoyu seems to be a workaholic; once she gets into work mode, she becomes completely absorbed in it.

Now that the Ye family and the Zhao family's project cooperation is gradually unfolding, Ji Ruoyu has to be involved in every detail.

This resulted in Ji Ruoyu's workload increasing exponentially.

Hearing Xiao Yao's reminder, Ji Ruoyu glanced at the time and said, "If you have something to do, you can go home first. I'll finish what I'm doing and then we can go eat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao frowned, knowing that she probably couldn't persuade him, and put down what she was holding after thinking for a moment.

He went to the side, made a cup of coffee, added three sugar cubes as Ji Ruoyu usually did, stirred it well, and placed it next to Ji Ruoyu.

Smelling the aroma of coffee, Ji Ruoyu turned her head to look at the coffee beside her, and smiled at Xiao Yao, saying, "Thank you for your help."

As he spoke, he picked up his coffee, sipped it slowly, and stared intently at the report in his hand.

Suddenly remembering something, Ji Ruoyu asked, "By the way, did you see Ye Chen today?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao shook his head, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, President Ji, Wang Ergou submitted his resignation letter, saying that he didn't want to affect the company's cooperation, and it seems that he had something to do and left early today."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu frowned and said, "Didn't I already tell him? He didn't do anything wrong, so why do this? Call him later and ask what happened."

Xiao Yao nodded, somewhat displeased, and said, "It's all Sun Fugui's fault. Wang Ergou is the most responsible security guard I've ever met. If it weren't for Sun Fugui, Wang Ergou definitely wouldn't have resigned."

"Moreover, I feel that Sun Fugui's request to speak with you alone, President Ji, is ill-intentioned. You should be careful, President Ji."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu calmly replied, "I know. You can go home by yourself. I'll leave as soon as I finish this."

Seeing this, Xiao Yao sighed, found a place to sit down, and decided to wait half an hour before leaving.

Looking at the plan in her hand, Ji Ruoyu couldn't help but think of Ye Chen, wondering how his clinic was doing.

Once she's done with this busy period, Ji Ruoyu plans to take some time to check it out. Whether it succeeds or not, it will still be part of Ye Chen's business.

Thinking about it, Ji Ruoyu smiled. Just then, the office door opened silently.

Xiao Yao noticed it immediately, looked towards the door, saw the person coming, and was just about to speak.

Ye Chen made a shushing gesture, and Xiao Yao immediately understood and nodded, then got up and walked to the door.

Seeing Ye Chen carrying food, a reassuring smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked out.

The office door closed gently, the lock clicking crisply.

Hearing the sound, Ji Ruoyu assumed it was Xiao Yao leaving get off work and didn't pay any attention, continuing to focus on her work.

After a moment, Ji Ruoyu suddenly smelled something and felt a gaze upon her.

Startled, she looked up abruptly and saw Ye Chen's mischievous face.

"Huh? What brings you here?" Ji Ruoyu asked, somewhat surprised.

"I heard that someone was working so hard that they forgot to eat and sleep. I was worried that they would ruin their health, so I thought I would bring them some food."

As he spoke, Ye Chen placed the food box he was carrying in front of Ji Ruoyu.

The aroma emanating from the food box instantly triggered Ji Ruoyu's hunger.

However, he still kept a straight face and said, "Shouldn't you be at the clinic right now? Have you finished what you were doing there?"

Ye Chen smiled calmly and said, "If my wife, who is a doctor in the clinic, gets sick, and word gets out, who would dare to come to me for treatment? So I definitely have to take good care of my wife first, don't you think?"

Ji Ruoyu said irritably, "I don't have time to banter with you."

He then tossed the financial report in front of Ye Chen and said, "Although the company has secured several large orders and its revenue has increased fiftyfold, it is still fiftyfold away from a hundredfold increase."

"But even if it's just a dollar short, knowing my older sister as I do, she won't let it go easily. Even if I try my best to make the financial report perfect and include the subsequent profits in advance, there will still be a considerable shortfall."

Looking at the financial report in Ji Ruoyu's hand, Ye Chen was suddenly a little moved. He originally thought that only he was working hard, but now it seems that Ji Ruoyu was also working hard.

"Thank you," Ye Chen said sincerely.

Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen, and seeing his sincere eyes, her heart warmed slightly.

Ye Chen thought of something and said, "Given your older sister's personality, he might not accept the report you produced."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she remained composed on the surface and said, "I have my own way of handling this. I can manage my older sister's side, so you don't need to worry about it."

Ye Chen stared intently at Ji Ruoyu, and Ji Ruoyu felt inexplicably guilty in the face of his gaze.

At this moment, Ye Chen spoke up: "What, you're not going to tell me about what happened with the Sun family?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu frowned. He hadn't wanted Ye Chen to get involved, but Ye Chen had spoken up first.

"I heard that Sun Fugui colluded with some medicinal herb merchants to cut off the company's supply of medicinal herbs and even raised prices on the spot."

"For this reason, your eldest sister even came over and made a scene. I think you negotiated with your eldest sister. You agreed to go to the Sun family, and she would turn a blind eye."

Ji Ruoyu was surprised that Ye Chen knew so much, but worried that Ye Chen would misunderstand, she still said, "The Sun family's affairs were originally caused by me."

"It's only right that I handle this, and I can't let the eldest son's side have any leverage over me."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "Can't you tell that Sun Fugui's invitation to talk to you alone has ulterior motives?"

"I can see that, but I won't let him succeed. This is a critical moment for the project."

"Whether I can hold my ground on the board and in the company depends on this. I can't miss this opportunity."

"If that's what you're worried about, then your worries are unnecessary. I, Ji Ruoyu, am not some hothouse flower."

Looking at Ji Ruoyu's expression, Ye Chen sighed inwardly. He knew there was nothing he could do to stop her.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you, but you must be careful. Avoid eating and drinking these things if you can."

"Especially drinks. If your beverage leaves your sight, it's no longer safe, understand?"

Ji Ruoyu remained silent upon hearing this, and Ye Chen, seeing this, put down the food box and turned to leave.

Just as she reached the door, Ji Ruoyu's voice rang out, "I know that with your abilities, you've been wronged in my Ji family."

"Besides, you haven't been comfortable during this time either. Don't worry, once this project is finished, I will take the initiative to divorce you. At that time, I will give you everything I promised, and you won't have to carry the reputation of being a live-in son-in-law anymore."

"Once we're divorced, whether you're free as a bird in the sky or a fish in the sea, it's none of my business anymore."

Ye Chen stopped at the doorway. After a long while, he said in a neutral tone, "Yes, I understand."

After saying that, Ye Chen closed the door and left. Ji Ruoyu watched Ye Chen's departing figure, her gaze returning to the food box in front of her.

For some reason, a sudden wave of inexplicable sadness welled up inside me, and I suddenly felt an urge to burst into tears.

Ye Chen walked downstairs to the company building with a cold expression, and the temperature around him seemed to drop by more than ten degrees.

Just then, his phone rang. Ye Chen frowned when he saw the number displayed on the screen.

After the call connected, Ye Chen said in an icy voice, "You'd better have something important to say, or I won't hesitate to let you experience my wrath."

Du Haijun, sensing Ye Chen's bad mood, cautiously replied over the phone, "It's an order from the old dragon lord on the mountain."

"Someone is about to arrive in Wucheng. We need your help, young master, to ensure his safety in Longcheng. It is expected to take about three days."

Ye Chen frowned and said, "That old guy just made me do the work, but didn't mention giving me any benefits?"

"No," Du Haijun said hesitantly.

Ye Chen was even more annoyed and said irritably, "It was that guy who had such a big shot, actually making that old man arrange for me to protect him?"

After a moment of silence, Du Haijun said solemnly, "One of the five remaining nine-star war gods of the Dragon Kingdom, the Crimson Gold War God, Lie Yunhu."
