Su Binglan was furious, she was genuinely angry. Ye Chen didn't even bother to tell her about his critical injuries and near death, which made her feel somewhat abandoned.

"Good wife, don't be angry, it's all my fault, I'm sorry!" Ye Chen said sheepishly. "Weren't you with Li Yan that day? I thought she must have told you about it, so I didn't go out of my way to say anything."

"Don't even mention it, I'm getting angry just thinking about it. When I ran into her, you were still unconscious. How would I have known whether you were dead or alive?" Su Binglan snapped angrily.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault!" Ye Chen repeatedly admitted his mistake.

"Alright, I forgive you," Su Binglan said.

"Wife, I want to prepare several batches of medicinal pills, can you help me get the herbs ready?" Ye Chen asked.

"Getting the herbs ready is no problem," Su Binglan said. "But, the company is currently expanding into new markets, and I'm very busy lately. You should give the list to Wen Rou, let her prepare the herbs for you."

"Okay."

In the end, Su Binglan hung up the phone abruptly, leaving Ye Chen holding the receiver in a daze, then he entered WeChat, found Wen Rou's WeChat ID, and sent her the names of some herbs and a few other things.

There were now quite a few people in Ye Chen's WeChat, and they were all exceptionally beautiful women.

"Ding dong."

The phone vibrated. Soon after Ye Chen sent the WeChat message, the beautiful Wen Rou replied almost instantly.

"Ye Chen, how is your injury? When do you need these things?"

This was a voice message. Wen Rou was very efficient at handling tasks, speaking clearly and directly.

"The injury is nothing serious. The sooner I can get those things, the better," Ye Chen replied.

"Okay, wait for the news then," Wen Rou responded.

"..."

"Liu Shihua, she updated her Moments?"

Ye Chen casually browsed through Moments and saw Liu Shihua had posted a few photos just a few minutes ago.

In the photos, Liu Shihua's smile was radiant. Even bare-faced, she was stunningly beautiful. It seemed like she had forgotten all the unhappiness and transformed back into that carefree and exuberant celebrity.

"Liu Shihua, why did you run off? Call me back!" Ye Chen sent a message to the celebrity.

Zhang Xinlan's act of self-harm had scared Liu Shihua back to the mainland so badly that she wouldn't reply to texts, and her calls were unreachable. She was practically off the grid, which had caused Ye Chen quite a bit of trouble. He was even close to heading back to the mainland himself to check if the celebrity was still alive.

"Ring ring ring!"

Ye Chen's phone vibrated and the ringtone sounded. The caller ID displayed Liu Shihua's name.

"Hello?" Ye Chen answered, putting the phone to his ear.

"Ye Chen, I miss you," Liu Shihua said in a pitiful voice over the phone.

"..." Ye Chen was at a loss for words.

"Liu Shihua, aren't you being too guilty for your own good!" Ye Chen said. "Zhang Xinlan didn't attack you, so why did you run?"

"You have no idea how scary it was at the time!"

"Zhang Xinlan was chopping herself with a kitchen knife. She chopped herself five times, nearly severing her arm!"

"If it wasn't for Su Binglan arriving just in time, Zhang Xinlan would have surely gone to drink Meng Po's soup!" Liu Shihua's tone trembled slightly, clearly still haunted by the memory of Zhang Xinlan's self-mutilation.

"And this is all thanks to you. Imagine that, you even thought to record it with your phone. You nearly killed her!" Ye Chen spoke coldly, condemning Liu Shihua for her act of recording the incident.

"I just wanted a keepsake," Liu Shihua said with a hint of aggrievement.

"Yeah, great job!"

"How is Sister Xinlan doing, has she been discharged from the hospital?" Liu Shihua asked with concern.

Even if Zhang Xinlan had used the knife to intimidate her, the celebrity still cared for her, having a relationship almost like sisters with Xinlan. It wasn't something that could be easily broken off.

"Yeah, she was discharged a long time ago!" Ye Chen sighed. "But she now refuses to deal with me, ran off somewhere by herself, and I can't find her no matter how I search."

"That's perfectly normal, women are like that. Once she's not angry anymore, she'll come back," Liu Shihua said confidently.

"Let's not talk about her, what about you? When are you coming back?" Ye Chen asked.

"I'm not going back, I'm scared," Liu Shihua said.

"Look at you, no backbone!" Ye Chen said. "But that's good, I have too many women now, it's a blessing to get rid of one."

"You bastard, you think you can dump me? No way!" Liu Shihua yelled.

"Then come here!" Ye Chen laughed.

"I won't, you come to me!" Liu Shihua said.

"No way, you're too far from me!" Ye Chen said.

"Are you even a man? I, a major star, am willing to be the other woman for you, and you won't even spend a few billion on me. Instead, you want me to travel a thousand miles to find you?" Liu Shihua screamed.

"..." Indeed, that was what Ye Chen meant.

"Ye Chen, I can't talk now, my mom is knocking on my door!" Liu Shihua suddenly said in a low voice, sounding a bit sneaky.

"Alright then, say hello to your mother-in-law for me!" Ye Chen said.

"Annoying, I haven't even agreed to marry you!" Liu Shihua cooed and then hung up the phone.

"..."

Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, then he slid his finger across the screen, found a familiar name, and pressed the call button.

After chatting on the phone with Su Binglan and having a conversation with Liu Shihua, Ye Chen was now calling Zhang Xinlan. However, he didn't know if this beauty was in the mood or willing to answer his call.

"What do you want?" came Zhang Xinlan's cold voice.

"Where are you?"

Ye Chen was a bit excited; after Zhang Xinlan's disappearance, he had called her countless times, and this was the first time she had answered.

"What does my location have to do with you?" Zhang Xinlan said.

Ye Chen: "..."

Zhang Xinlan had told him many times that she wanted to break up, but naturally, Ye Chen never agreed. Now that Zhang Xinlan had vanished, Ye Chen was unsure if they were still involved with each other.

"Don't bother me again in the future. Hearing your voice makes the scars on my body ache!"

"..."

After saying these words, Zhang Xinlan decisively hung up the call, and when Ye Chen tried calling again, her phone was switched off.

"Motherfucker!" Ye Chen couldn't help but curse.

...

"Ye Chen, why are you sitting on the ground?"

Yan Ruyu came home and was surprised to see Ye Chen sitting on the floor.

"My injuries are mostly healed, so I'm just sitting on the floor to meditate and practice," Ye Chen said with a smile, feeling that his relationship with Yan Ruyu had improved over the past few days.

"You can meditate and practice on the sofa, too. Don't you feel cold sitting on the floor in just your underwear?" Yan Ruyu said.

"Hehe," Ye Chen chuckled. "Where are Li Yan and Lin Ying?"

"After we finished with the beauty treatments, they went off to the mall together. I was tired, so I came home first," Yan Ruyu said.

"Oh!" Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Ying, the icy beauty, seemed to be enjoying life more, indulging in beauty treatments and shopping sprees ever since she started hanging out with Li Yan.

Yan Ruyu turned on the big TV in the living room and cut some fruit, then comfortably lay on the couch, watching TV while picking fruit with a toothpick to eat.
