My Silly, Sweet Wife

Huang Mao grimaced in pain and yelled, ”Damn it, what are you waiting for? Get him!”

The other thugs around Huang Mao hesitated for a moment, then each started swinging their fists at Ye Guichen.

The next second, those thugs were sent flying faster than they had approached, without anyone seeing how Ye Guichen had even struck.

”With this little bit of skill, you dare to charge a management fee?” Ye Guichen dusted off his hands, dealing with these small-time punks was child’s play, ”I’ll be right here waiting, hurry back and get the money. Also, from now on, a ten-meter radius around Jixiang Noodle House is my turf. If you step in, it’s one thousand bucks in toll every time.”

After finishing his words, Ye Guichen didn’t even bother to look at the thugs again and re-entered the noodle house.

”Kid, you’re gutsy!”

”If you have the guts, don’t leave, just wait!”

Seeing how well Ye Guichen could fight, Huang Mao and the others cursed while helping each other as they stumbled away.

Li Xiaoqin was terrified.

She hadn’t expected Ye Guichen to be so fierce.

Without even a proper exchange, he’d sent those punks flying.

But, thinking about the people behind those thugs, Li Xiaoqin quickly caught up to Ye Guichen, anxiously saying, ”Manager Ye, I appreciate your kindness, but, but they’ve been around here for a long time. If they come day by day to stir up trouble, you guys will...”

At this point, Li Xiaoqin didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear.

These punks wander around as they please. Ye Guichen could fend them off, but he couldn’t prevent them from making sneaky moves.

Being targeted by them was like being pestered by flies; who knew if they’d covertly attack the Chen Group.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to dodge a spear but hard to avoid a covert attack.

Dealing with these types is the most troublesome.

Ye Guichen didn’t take it to heart at all, ”Sis, don’t worry, if they dare to cause trouble, I’ll make sure they have bigger problems.”

Seeing the noodles on the counter, Ye Guichen suddenly got interested, ”By the way, your noodle shop seems to have mediocre business. I have a noodle recipe; how about I make some noodles for you today?”

”Huh?” Seeing Ye Guichen change the topic, though still worried, Li Xiaoqin had no choice but to stop pursuing the issue and said with a wry smile, ”Manager Ye, can someone like you even cook?”

”Sis, what are you saying? Back on the mountain, I cooked for my master every day. He said he got so used to my cooking that nothing else tasted good to him.” Ye Guichen washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.

He wasn’t lying.

Having lived with Li Fengxian since childhood, it had always been Ye Guichen cooking for them, and he’d been doing it for over ten years.

Ye Guichen felt that he’d been mastering various dishes since he could remember.

Despite being a Divine Doctor, Li Fengxian was notably picky about food, and ordinary dishes couldn’t satisfy his taste.

Gradually, Ye Guichen learned to innovate, not only diversifying his cooking but also incorporating Chinese medicine into the dishes, creating multiple medicinal meals.

He even invented a kind of invigorating noodles.

Adding several herbs to it, not only did it taste delicious, but it also eliminated fatigue and strengthened the body, benefiting both physical and mental health more than drinking tonic.

Since arriving at this noodle house, Ye Guichen noticed that the business wasn’t great.

Given that, Ye Guichen decided to extend a helping hand, ”Oh right, Sis, can you go buy a few herbal ingredients for me?”

”Herbs?” Li Xiaoqin looked at Ye Guichen curiously, ”For noodle making?”

”Yes.” Ye Guichen nodded, ”The herbs aren’t expensive, just Forsythia, green tea, and Schisandra.”

”Well...” Li Xiaoqin originally wanted to refuse but seeing Ye Guichen so excited, she couldn’t deny him. ”Alright, there’s a herbal shop on this street, I’ll go.”

To Li Xiaoqin, Ye Guichen just seemed to find noodle making fun, like experiencing life.

Soon, the herbs were bought, and Ye Guichen didn’t hesitate, taking the ingredients and noodles into the kitchen to get busy.

While Ye Guichen was making noodles, the security guards from the Chen Group arrived.

They were all guards from when Ye Guichen became the head of the Security Department, essentially veteran staff.

Hearing that this noodle shop belonged to Zhao Erdan, they didn’t hesitate and took seats.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoqin became busy.

The guards weren’t picky people; seeing Li Xiaoqin overwhelmed, they stood up to help.

Meanwhile, two miles away at a bathhouse.

Huang Mao and his gang stood with their heads down in a private bath suite.

In the pool, a middle-aged man with a fierce face and a Big Gold Chain around his neck was enjoying himself with his eyes closed.

Two beauties gently massaged the middle-aged man.

”Brother Gang, that kid totally disregarded you.” Huang Mao exaggerated the story while eyeing the middle-aged man expectantly.

The middle-aged man’s name was Lin Gang, and he watched over this bathhouse.

Although he watched over it, the bathhouse wasn’t his.

Hearing Huang Mao’s words, Lin Gang looked up and cast a glance at Huang Mao. ”Useless fools, you can’t even handle collecting protection fees. Fine, gather the boys, I want to see who dares act up on my turf!”
