I heard that my wife was out partying until 4 a.m. before returning to the hotel. She, on the other hand, went straight to sleep and woke up just as dawn broke. She went to the pier, took a cargo ship, and came back. It was a perfect round trip.
But Nie Zhao suffered because he couldn't sleep since 4 a.m., and he had to go to the bidding meeting of the Ocean Shipping Company this morning. So he arranged for Kuang Zai to be at the dock with hot soup and blankets, and specially turned the car temperature to 26 degrees Celsius, so he could wait in a warm place.
Chen Rou departed at 7:30 and arrived at the pier at 10:00 sharp, just in time to meet Kuang Zai.
By the way, Kwong is twenty-three this year, and he's already a young man. In his previous life, he was Nie Zhao's bodyguard, but in this life, he's returned to his family's profession: traditional Chinese medicine. His clinic is located in a prime area, right on Dun Nai Road.
The soup he stewed had a medicinal smell, and it was in a thermos, so Chen Rou could just hold it and drink it.
She got into the car, but before she could even put her feet in, Kwong reached out, took off her shoes, and gestured for Chan Yau to step in directly.
There were soft mats on the car floor, and Chen Rou put her feet on them: "They're warm, like an electric hot water bottle?"
Kwong laughed: "It's sand, specially heated up."
Chen Rou found it comfortable to step on, but didn't understand why: "Why are you doing this?"
Kwong said, "Madam, you're over thirty now, not like you used to be. If you catch a cold, you need to get rid of the dampness."
Last night, Yue Zhongqi called several nurses "big sister," which made them angry. Chen Rou, on the other hand, had a strange feeling that she was only twenty-five or twenty-six, in the prime of her life, full of energy and boundless vitality. Of course, in her previous life, she was 30 when she changed careers.
But when Kwong suddenly told her that she was over thirty, Chan Yau couldn't help but be shocked. Was she really that old?
Of course, she misunderstood herself, saying, "I have naturally high energy levels, so I don't need these things."
Kwong then gave her a cloth bag that smelled strongly of Chinese medicine, gesturing for her to place it on her lower abdomen before getting into the driver's seat and driving off. He then asked, "Madam, have you noticed that compared to your peers, even female celebrities, your skin condition, especially around your eyes and your gaze, is different from theirs?"
Regarding this, Chen Rou's personal opinion is: "I always exercise, and exercise helps me stay young."
My feet felt warm from the sandbags, and my abdomen felt warm from the medicine pack. Then I drank the soup. It was nice and very comfortable.
Kwong patiently explained, "While exercise does help you stay young, sunlight is a killer for your skin. Moreover, if you only exercise without replenishing your body with quality nutrients, your vital energy will be depleted and not replenished, which will actually accelerate aging, such as causing wrinkles."
The car's LCD screen is on the back of the front seats, above which is a vanity mirror.
Chen Rou opened the makeup mirror and said with a smile, "Yes, I should be getting wrinkles too."
It's probably because she talked too much about the future with Yue Zhongqi and the others last night. Chen Rou is thinking about her future self. And just like Kuang Zai said, she sweats more and gets more sun exposure than women her age. Reality isn't a movie. Real female special forces soldiers aren't big-breasted, slim-waisted, fair-skinned beauties; they're rough and tough.
But no, when she recalled what she looked like when she retired in her previous life, and then looked at herself now, she did find that her skin was in much better condition than in her previous life. She didn't have the sunspots and wrinkles around her eyes like she did in her previous life. She was younger and in better condition than she had been before. She was very surprised, so she asked Kwong, "Why?"
Why is it that her skin is in such good condition even though she hasn't reduced her exercise or sun exposure?
Kuang Zai's gratitude towards Nie Zhao stemmed from Nie Zhao's revenge for his parents, his return of the clinic to him, and his introduction of a very outstanding female TCM partner, enabling him to build a successful career at a young age.
Of course, during the years when Nie Zhao was in poor health and needed to recuperate, he stayed by his side. Even now, his clinic still handles the Nie family's health and wellness matters, as he knows the most about it.
He said, "Madam, the boss has to ask about and review your daily diet. Before your period, you should avoid foods that promote blood circulation and avoid them. After your period, you should stew soups that nourish blood and generate fluids. When the weather is dry, you should reduce internal heat and strengthen your body. When the weather is cool, you should dispel cold and dampness. Food supplements are worse than medicine supplements. Also, your cosmetics and sunscreen are recommended by the boss through a makeup artist at his own expense. This is not an advertisement."
Chen Rou's advantage is that she's not a picky eater; she eats whatever the kitchen makes.
Even if the soup tastes bad, she will gulp it down in one go, adhering to the principle of not wasting any.
The only time Nie Zhao made her late-night snacks was during her pregnancy. She had a habit of not eating at night. Of course, in her previous life, she would occasionally go out for a late-night snack, and there would be a table full of pig ears, which she didn't like and had never eaten.
But she always believed that her good fitness routine was the reason she was so energetic. But according to Kwong Tsai, Mr. Nie also paid a lot. Or rather, the reason why she looks so different now than in her previous life is because of Nie Zhao's money magic.
That's really true; rich people always look much younger than cattle and horses.
If you ask Chen Rou if she cares about her appearance, of course she does. Every woman cares, because only men are praised from a young age. They are praised for being able to pee standing up, so they have a lot of self-confidence from a young age. As long as they can walk upright, they feel great.
However, what Chen Rou finds hard to accept is that, like A Yuan, at least half of her current well-being comes from Nie Zhao's meticulous care. Of course, it also depends on Nie Zhao's wealth, which allows him to hire so many people to take care of her.
At this moment, Chen Rou finally saw what Nie Zhao had always wanted her to see, but she hadn't: the power of money. She felt a little frustrated and sad because her lifelong belief was that everyone was equal.
She has always believed that as long as you work hard, you can have what you want.
