Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 194: He Is My Employee, What Are You Talking With Him?
When Li Yan opened the herbal purification room, Chu Luo stood near the cauldron, brewing the medicine while Chen Xuan grinded the herbs on the other side.
Chu Luo looked up and saw that it was Li Yan. Her lips curled and she called out sweetly, “Li Yan, you are back.”
The coldness on Li Yan's face instantly disappeared. He nodded and walked to his side.
There was a thick medicinal fragrance floating in the air. Chu Luo said, “I have all the potions I want. I will prepare it in the next two days. Once I'm done, Chen Xuan can go to America."
At this point, he pointed at Chen Xuan, who was stunned to see Li Yan. “He's Chen Xuan. I told you about the owner of that herbal medicine shop the other day, but he's mine now.”
Li Yan did not stare at Chen Xuan but looked at Chu Luo and corrected her. “He's your employee.”
“Eh?”
Chu Luo blinked and looked at him, who suddenly became serious. He doesn't really understand what he means.
Li Yan did not say much and asked, “How much longer?”
“Soon. This medicine needs to be brewed for another ten minutes.”
“Let him watch it.”
After saying that, Li Yan grabbed his hand and pulled it out of the door.
As he walked, he said to Chen Xuan, “Note Luoluo's medicine.”
Chen Xuan's body trembled for no reason. Before he could answer, the two of them had already come out.
Li Yan pulled Chu Luo up and into the bedroom. He pressed her against the wall.
Chu Luo leaned against the wall and blinked her big eyes at him in a daze. “It looks like you are a little unhappy.”
Li Yan lowered her head and sealed her lips.
Only after their breath was slightly unstable did he let go and said, “Don't say someone else is yours again.”
“Mm?”
Li Yan looked like she was about to kiss him again. Chu Luo quickly placed her hand on her chest and pushed her away. “You are not allowed to kiss me.”
Li Yan simply pulled her into his arms and whispered into his ear.
After Chu Luo heard what she said, her ears slowly turned red. In the end, he replied with “Mm.”
Satisfied, Li Yan closed his mouth again.
After a while.
Chu Luo raised her hand and patted it dissatisfiedly. “Big criminals, I told you not to kiss me.”
Seeing how embarrassed he was, Li Yan swept his lips against his cheek and asked, “Are you still going to the herbal purification room tonight?”
Chu Luo shook her head. “I will prescribe you the prescription you want tonight so you can ask someone to look for the ingredient.”
“Mm.”
“I smell like medicine. Out, I'll change clothes.”
As Chu Luo spoke, she pushed him out of the door.
Li Yan followed in his footsteps.
Chu Luo went to take a bath and happened to see Li Yan come out in her casual clothes.
Chu Luo walked up to him and touched the material of his clothes before touching the material of his.
Li Yan watched his movements with a questioning look.
Chu Luo said, “I met some people in your company's underground parking lot today. One woman insisted that my clothes come from a high-end custom-made brand under Blazing Glory.”
Li Yan looked at him but did not say anything.
Chu Luo added, “It feels a little similar to mine, so ... did you ask someone to exchange the clothes I bought last time?”
Li Yan's eyes were warm. He replied with “Mm” and did not deny it.
Chu Luo bit her lips, but the corner of her lips could not help but curl up. He took the initiative to hold her hand and the two of them walked down.
As he walked, he told him of his plan for Chen Xuan to go to America.
“Chen Xuan can't manage a company of that size alone for now.” Li Yan suggested, “You can ask the headhunter company to help you recruit some professional managers.”
Li Yan gave Chu Luo a lot of advice.
Since he was the CEO of an international company, any suggestion Li Yan made was very appropriate. Chu Luo had never really come into contact with this before, so she listened seriously.
While eating, Chu Luo called Chen Xuan out.
When Chen Xuan saw Li Yan this time, he had dispelled the shock on his face. Chu Luo did not say who Li Yan was, and she did not ask.
After dinner, Li Yan called him to the study room.
Confused, Chu Luo asked, “He's my employee. Why are you talking to him?”
“To tell him how to manage the company. My wife's company must be managed by a capable person.”
When Chen Xuan heard Li Yan summon Chu Luo like that, shock flashed across his eyes.
Chu Luo was a little embarrassed when she heard him call her his wife, but she could not criticize Li Yan in front of Chen Xuan. Therefore, he just nodded.
Li Yan brought Chen Xuan into the study.
Chu Luo was tired of being alone and was walking around in the courtyard.
It was only six o'clock and the sky was not yet dark.
The flowers and trees in the courtyard grew extremely well, making one feel comfortable just by looking at them.
At this moment, Chu Luo saw Qin Ming step in from the courtyard.
The butler happened to walk out the door. Qin Ming asked the butler, “Servant, where is Mister?”
The butler replied, “Master is in the workspace.”
Qin Ming stopped. Seeing Chu Luo in the pavilion, he turned around and walked over.
“Nona Chu.”
“What is it?”
Qin Ming said to her expressionlessly, “Just now, Princess Anya called and said that she wants to meet you.”
“…”
Chu Luo: “Why did he contact you if he wanted to meet me?”
Qin Ming thought to himself, ‘Since a stranger cannot call you and Master, he only managed to contact me. What can I do?’
His face remained expressionless. “I don't know.”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and asked, “Did she say why she wanted to meet me?”
“No.”
“Because she didn't say anything, just tell her I was busy when she called again.”
“Good.”
After saying that, Qin Ming turned around and walked out.
Chu Luo waited for him to leave before turning around and walking towards the door.
Li Yan did not speak for long with Chen Xuan. When he got down, Chu Luo was writing quickly on a piece of paper.
Li Yan walked over and sat down beside him.
Chu Luo's words were extremely beautiful. Amidst the flamboyance, they carried an indescribable light and beauty.
Li Yan looked at his writing for a while before asking, “Is this herb easy to find?”
“It is not easy to find everything,” Chu Luo said as she wrote. “There are some herbs that are only recorded in ancient books. Basically, not many people have heard of it.”
Li Yan frowned.
“I will draw the appearance of the herb later. Then, I would write down the traits and environment in which they grew up. You can send more people to look for it.”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo continued to write until the end of ten o'clock.
He had asked for more than 30 types of herbs, and the last few were mainly accompanied by pictures and explanations.
Li Yan looked at them and asked the butler to bring her laptop.
Chu Luo watched as she typed all the names of these drugs into her laptop notebook and asked curiously, “Why do you have to put them in the computer?”
“Your handwriting is invisible.” Li Yan only said this one sentence and did not continue.
Chu Luo did not understand and wanted to continue asking, but Li Yan said to her, “Can you make this potion into a 3D image?”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and nodded.
Li Yan quickly entered the list of medicinal herbs and handed over her laptop.
Chu Luo made a 3D diagram of the potion.
As he did that, he said, “This Ice Fire Unicorn Grass grows from a natural hot spring, but it should be surrounded by snow that does not melt all year round. As for this White Woody Yarn, it grew in a dense forest, a place where the sun could not be seen all day. There was also a similar type of grass growing around it. When looking for it, you should look at the back of the leaf. The feathers on the back of the leaf will glow. The other leaves shone from the front. This Phoenix Flaming Grass ..”
Chu Luo suddenly stopped here.
Li Yan looked at him, who suddenly stopped talking, and asked, “What?”
“This grass has its guard animals. His guardian beast could spout fire. Once someone is spat upon by fire, they will turn into ash quickly.”
Li Yan replied with “Mm” but her expression did not change much.
He asked, “Where was the last herb found?”
“In the valley where all four seasons are like spring. This herb is smooth. Not too cold and not heat resistant. Even if you find it, you should keep it at a constant temperature to protect it.”
Li Yan was silent again.
Chu Luo looked at him and asked, “How long have you needed that old man to live? If only for a year or so, I could use other herbs as a substitute. If you want him to live for a few more years and also make sure that he is in good health, we should use a handful of this herb.”
Li Yan closed his laptop and did not immediately answer him. Instead, he lowered his eyes and began to think.
After about ten minutes, he said, “Let me think about it.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Li Yan stood up and pulled him up.
“Rest first. I'll go to the study room.”
The two of them walked up and Li Yan went to the study.
When the butler brought Li Yan tea, Li Yan was sitting at his desk thinking hard.
The butler placed the tea on the table and stood still.
After a while, he called Li Yan, “Tuan.”
Li Yan looked at him with her eyes that were always cold.
The butler deliberated for a moment and asked puzzledly, “If you use Miss Chu's recipe in return for what you promised Old Master, you won't have to work too hard anymore. Why you..”.
Li Yan waved at him, gesturing for him to leave.
The butler sighed in his heart but eventually turned to leave.
He knew that his young master was sincere towards Miss Chu and did not want him to get involved in this matter.
Yet…
Li Yan had been sitting in the study for almost half an hour when her phone rang.
When he picked up the phone, he heard an anxious voice. “Old Master got sick. We'll lock in the news now. If you find that ancient tomb, immediately go down to the tomb to look for a cure.”
Li Yan pursed her lips and did not immediately reply.
As if afraid he would retract his words, the other party said anxiously, “Li Yan, don't forget who saved your life.”
Li Yan frowned and a cold aura emanated from his body.
The other party seemed to realize that he was too impulsive and said, “Sorry, I am too anxious. You know that Old Master cannot fall. If he falls, we'll all run out.”
Li Yan finally spoke, her tone cold. “That's you, not me.”
