With the funding in place, Zhang Xinlan also started to go all out to set up the entertainment company; she was so busy these past few days that even Ye Chen found it difficult to see her.

Ye Chen was still dutifully guarding Liu Shihua at her side, he was the personal bodyguard to a big star after all, and he let the women handle those worrisome affairs!

However, there was one matter that Ye Chen couldn't quite get a handle on; Tong Xingtong, that woman, hadn't come to find him for a long time now, and they seemed to have given up on that pharmaceutical company project, which made Ye Chen feel a sense of miscalculation in his heart.

The profit from the pills he controlled was simply unprecedentedly huge, that woman wouldn't be so idiotic as to give up on this big piece of cake!

"It looks like Xinlan didn't come back again, and who knows what she's busy with!" Liu Shihua finished filming and returned home only to find that Zhang Xinlan was not there.

"This is the true style of a powerful woman, do you think others are as lacking in ambition as you, complaining for half a day about shooting a scene, too lazy to even roll an eyelid without mulling it over for a long time!" Ye Chen said with disdain.

In this period, Zhang Xinlan was continuously working her connections, and a huge film company was about to be established with her efforts; the style of a powerful woman was indeed unmistakable.

"Who's lacking in ambition!" Liu Shihua immediately went into battle mode, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I am Huaxia's national goddess, the hottest female star in the entertainment circle, how many other extraordinary women like me are there in all of Huaxia, and you dare say I have no ambition?!"

"With every second, I'm worth hundreds of thousands, my commercial value is simply immeasurable; if I'm not ambitious, then is there anyone in this world who is?!" Liu Shihua got increasingly angry the more she thought about it, and she vehemently retaliated against Ye Chen. "Compared to this big star, you are the true definition of laziness, wanting to start a company but not willing to put in the effort yourself, instead relying on a woman. In both appearance and in my heart, I utterly despise you!"

Compared to Zhang Xinlan's hard work, Ye Chen seemed somewhat lazy and idle, spending his days just following behind Liu Shihua, doing nothing significant!

"You are after all a mortal and cannot comprehend my greatness!" Ye Chen shook his head, displaying an air of aloofness and loneliness.

"Keep blowing your own trumpet, but you won't be eating delicious, tender steak anymore, because all the cows have been blown into the sky by you!" Liu Shihua expressed strong disdain.

"You, forget it, we stand at different heights, and naturally, we see things differently." The overreaction from Liu Shihua made Ye Chen sigh and feel too lazy to even explain.

During this time, Ye Chen had been constantly accumulating energy and refining himself, striving to break through to the later stages of a Grandmaster and achieve a significant increase in combat power!

But martial arts were difficult, as hard as reaching the sky!

Even though Ye Chen had reached that critical point, he still had not taken that step.

In the depths of his heart, Ye Chen felt a trembling sensation, an extremely strange premonition that filled him with fear but, within that fear, there was something that excited him!

This feeling was originally ethereal, but as time went on, the premonition became stronger and stronger, as if a once-in-a-lifetime grand feast was about to arrive!

Ye Chen knew this was a sign that a cave mansion was about to appear in the world, when masters from all directions would come to vie for opportunities, and his current strength simply wasn't sufficient!

On the Qingyun List, there were seventy-seven peak figures, and among these extraordinary individuals, Ye Chen could only look up to them, unable to contend!

However, once Ye Chen broke through to the later stages of a Grandmaster and relied on the power surge from the Supreme Secret Technique, he might have the qualifications to compete with those ultimate Grandmasters; even if he could not match the existence of chaotic warlords, he could still compete with those ranked at the end of the Qingyun List!

With the storm brewing and the wind building up, Ye Chen was single-minded; his only focus was to break through and grow stronger, to achieve the latter stages of a Grandmaster!

When you stand at the pinnacle of this world, all the glory and riches are yours for the taking!

Liu Shihua followed the path of the mundane, whereas Ye Chen chose the path of Transcendence!

Once he transcended, even chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven!

Even now, wherever Ye Chen went, he was destined to be admired. If he wanted to affiliate with a country, he could join the supreme Dragon Group and become one of its core members! If Ye Chen desired to bask in secular glory, he only needed to shelter a powerful family and he would be venerated like a deity by a major clan!

However, Liu Shihua had no contact with Ye Chen's circle and was unaware of his divine grace, so no matter how much he explained, the celebrity wouldn't understand.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because what I said was unpleasant?" Liu Shihua thought Ye Chen was silent because her words had hurt him, for even a man needed his pride.

"No, I was just thinking about something!" Ye Chen shook his head.

That woman, Tong Xingtong, hadn't come to discuss a cooperation with him, which was really beyond his expectations and left Ye Chen somewhat puzzled.

"Ye Chen, you're actually very impressive. With brute force alone, you could conquer the world!" Liu Shihua blinked, thinking of Ye Chen's invincible bearing.

Although this guy was quite annoying most of the time, always bickering with her, he was quite handsome when he resorted to violence, exhibiting a fascinating ferocity!

"Liu Shihua, don't mess around, I'm your brother-in-law!" Ye Chen suddenly moved away from Liu Shihua, his eyes showing wariness.

"You bastard!" Liu Shihua cursed in embarrassment.

Liu Shihua was undeniably naturally beautiful and ethereal, capable of making any man fall for her. Ye Chen's fearful expression, as if he was afraid Liu Shihua might pounce on him, filled the great star with a flurry of inexplicable annoyance.

"Why isn't my wife coming back? I miss her so much!" Ye Chen ignored Liu Shihua, sitting alone on the sofa, yearning for the one in his heart.

Zhang Xinlan had been busy with work recently, managing countless matters every day. She barely met with Ye Chen twice a day—once in the morning and once at night—which caused Ye Chen much frustration.

It was already after six in the evening and Zhang Xinlan still hadn't returned, leaving Ye Chen anxiously waiting. However, the celebrity beside him knew of her whereabouts.

Because Liu Shihua had just sent a voice message to Zhang Xinlan, learning that she had gone to deal with the rental of company premises and would probably be away for a long while before returning. But seeing Ye Chen's impatient demeanor, Liu Shihua felt a sense of schadenfreude, so she purposely kept silent.

"Ye Chen, come here, I have something to tell you!" Liu Shihua suddenly said, a sly gleam in her eyes.

"I don't want to hear it, whatever you're looking for me for is definitely nothing good!" Ye Chen said.

"This time it's definitely a good thing!" Liu Shihua approached Ye Chen proactively. "I remember you once said you could help me with acupuncture for body sculpting, to make my figure just like Xinlan's. Now that Xinlan isn't home, please help me with the body sculpting quickly!"

Upon hearing these words, a gleam of interest flashed in Ye Chen's eyes. This was indeed a good thing!

"It's true that I said that, but it might not be appropriate!" Ye Chen voiced his hesitation.

Ye Chen and Zhang Xinlan's relationship was flourishing, and just a few days ago, Zhang Xinlan had informed their parents about their relationship. He was about to meet his mother-in-law soon, and if something were to happen at this juncture, it would be a thunderclap out of a clear blue sky!

"Only heaven, earth, you, and I will know. As long as you don't tell Xinlan, I swear I won't let any word slip out!" Liu Shihua declared solemnly.
