"Ye Chen, you should go now," Chu Yanran looked pitiful. "I'm sorry, this was my fault."

"Sigh!"

Ye Chen looked at Chu Yanran's pitiful expression and his heart softened, prompting him to sigh deeply once more.

"Sigh!"

Ye Chen sighed for the third time, leaving others clueless about what he was actually thinking.

"Ye Chen, what's wrong?" Chu Yanran asked with concern, thinking that Ye Chen might be suffering from depression due to fasting.

Ye Chen gave Chu Yanran a complicated look and finally said, "Go get me a whole cow to fill my stomach, then I'll think about your son's situation!"

"What?" Chu Yanran thought she must be hallucinating.

"I said, go get me something to eat!" Ye Chen said, as he was indeed hungry.

"You're willing to help me!" Chu Yanran exclaimed, overwhelmed by the sudden joy.

"I won't change your son's Solitary Star Fate by force, but I do have a way to weaken it," Ye Chen declared.

"That's wonderful!" Chu Yanran's face lit up with a smile, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Why, why are you hugging me?" Chu Yanran suddenly threw herself into Ye Chen's arms.

"Excited!"

"..."

Over the past month, besides being busy with work, Chu Yanran had been monitoring videos of Ye Chen, who appeared heedless on the surface but was actually profoundly wise. He fully grasped everything at heart and was engaged in fierce confrontations with Tong Xingtong, his will as solid as steel.

Chu Yanran had never observed a man so closely before. Even though they had thoroughly investigated Ye Chen's background, this enigmatic man still remained unfathomable, captivating Chu Yanran.

"Yanran, have you fallen for someone else?" Tong Xingtong returned to the surveillance room and, seeing the screen, her demeanor turned icy cold. "Ye Chen, you are good, you've managed to anger me. You go off to investigate your mother's death, yet you fight with me over Yanran. Let's let this truth perish then!"

"Yanran, I won't let anyone take you away!"

Chu Yanran, in her prime, naturally had desires. Although she found comfort in her relationship with Tong Xingtong, the urge for a man was suppressed deep within her.

However, now that she had met Ye Chen, the man who professed to save her son, she could no longer hold back, and naturally gravitated towards him, drawn by something ineffable about Ye Chen!

As the saying goes, women at thirty are like wolves, and at forty like tigers. Chu Yanran was nearing the age of a wolf, and her actions were naturally wild, even overwhelming Ye Chen.

One was a vigorous young man, and the other a stunningly beautiful woman in her prime. When they collided, it was like Halley's Comet hitting the Earth.

Explode, little universe!

Yet, the two ultimately did not completely ignite.

After her boldness, Chu Yanran's expression calmed down, returning to her image of a cold and glamorous queen.

Ye Chen, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, looked at Chu Yanran with a complex expression.

"We are both normal people, and it's natural for men and women to attract each other, you understand?" Chu Yanran said indifferently, as if the event had never happened.

"Hmm, no one lost out," Ye Chen analyzed the whole matter meticulously.

Chu Yanran: "..."

"I want to thank you for agreeing to save my child!" Chu Yanran said sternly.

"You already thanked me just now," Ye Chen said.

"..."

The recent incident was purely accidental; she didn't know why, but she had instinctively clung to Ye Chen. Could it be that she had been lonely for too long?

"I've been starving for over a month!" Ye Chen declared, feeling the need to eat.

Ye Chen's fasting had almost reached its limit, and failure to replenish his spent energy soon would inflict great damage on himself.

"I'll arrange it for you, just wait here!" Chu Yanran left those words behind and hurried away, as if there was something in that place driving her to escape.

"The thoughts of a woman, always so elusive!"

Ye Chen felt some regret as he watched the person leave.

A few minutes later, a series of messy footsteps approached, and several men in black carried steamers filled with exquisitely prepared dishes including an entire roasted, juicy, and fatty cow.

"Heavenly Ye, Li Weiguo has been ordered to bring a banquet for you!" Li Weigou arrived with a regal stride; he was always seen next to Chu Yanran as her bodyguard chief, but having understood Ye Chen's past, he held the utmost reverence for this heavenly figure.

"Set it down quickly; I haven't eaten in a month. Hurry and bring me a roasted lamb and a whole sliced roasted pig!"

Ye Chen directed Li Weiguo to place all the food on the coffee table. Once the table was filled, the dishes of fish and meat covered the ground as well.

In the end, Heavenly Ye sadly realized that this still wasn't enough to satisfy his hunger.

"Heavenly Ye, twenty people couldn't eat this much, we're not short on food, but we shouldn't waste it either," Li Weiguo remarked, convinced that if Ye Chen could eat even one-tenth of this, it would be miraculous.

"Damn it! I am a distinguished guest of your boss; if I command it, you do it. Beware lest Heavenly Ye stays hungry and your boss breaks your legs," Ye Chen bellowed, tearing off a cow's leg and voraciously gnawing at it. Ten seconds later, only a bone remained.

"This!" Li Weiguo was stunned, completely dumbstruck by Ye Chen's way of eating.

This Heavenly Ye truly deserved to be the best in the military; even his eating was aggressive and unrestrained.

"Hurry up, follow me, and prepare the roasted lamb and pig!"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Li Weiguo saw Ye Chen had already eaten half of a whole cow, which made him break out in a profuse sweat. Not even ten pigs tied together could eat as quickly or as much as Heavenly Ye!

In less than five minutes, an entire tender and fragrant roasted cow was devoured by Ye Chen, who only then felt that the food was merely filling the gaps.

"Roasted chicken, roasted goose, roasted duck, pork knuckle, sea cucumber, abalone, revitalizing soup..."

Ye Chen was really digging in. Having fasted for a while, his vital energy had seriously depleted, and he needed to replenish it fully through food.

He shoved two abalones and three sea cucumbers into his mouth at a time, chewed, and swallowed.

Gulp, gulp, a whole basin of aged turtle soup disappeared in one go.

He gnawed on chicken legs without spitting out the bones and devoured a plate of braised pork until even the plate shattered. Heavenly Ye demonstrated to the world that this was a way one could eat their meal.

"Chu Yanran, you tell me, what do you like about him?" Tong Xingtong asked coldly, watching Ye Chen gorge himself on the surveillance feed. "He's just a brute, does he know gentleness? Does he know how to cherish you?"

"Xingtong, I don't understand what you're saying," Chu Yanran replied calmly.

"You just let him out... I saw it all, perhaps you've fallen for him?" Tong Xingtong said.

Originally, Ye Chen was absolutely not to regain his freedom, but now that he is willing to help Xiao Chenchen escape the influence of the Heavenly Destitute Star Fate, they actually have to treat Ye Chen as a VIP!

Tong Xingtong had joined Yanyan International four years ago; she had been following Chu Yanran before Xiao Chenchen was even born. Chu Yanran had an indescribable charm, and even though Tong Xingtong was also outstanding, she was captivated by this woman.

After the death of Chu Yanran's husband, she developed an inexplicable revulsion towards men, and when Tong Xingtong expressed her feelings, they came together.

However, Tong Xingtong suddenly found that someone might steal Chu Yanran away, and that person was Ye Chen.

"Am I suitable?" Chu Yanran shook her head. "I am six or seven years older than him, and I already have children!"

"You control a vast business empire, you are the most charming woman in the world, no man can resist your allure," Tong Xingtong said.

"But is he normal?" The mysterious aura surrounding Ye Chen was baffling, and what little he revealed was already shocking enough. "For someone like him, wealth is merely external; he possesses superhuman strength, I'm just a mere mortal, how could I match him?"

Chu Yanran, this woman, was the most outstanding woman in the world, in her prime, and overwhelmingly wealthy, it was hard to imagine there existed a man she couldn't match.

"You deliberately perceive him as an endlessly mysterious celestial being, but he is just a person. You're just overthinking it; love indeed complicates things!" Tong Xingtong said coldly.

A moment stirred in Chu Yanran's heart, and a complex expression surfaced on her face.

"We are all the same, all human, he has just exercised to become stronger!" Tong Xingtong had a clear view of everything in the world, in this world there were only people, no gods.

"Love makes one confused, numb, foolish; Yanran, you really need to clear your head," Tong Xingtong spoke calmly. "It's not that you are unworthy of him, it's he who is unworthy of you!"
