"Yes, ma'am."
Jian Yixue saw the message content and the sender's name clearly displayed on the screen—Husband.
The smile on her face grew even brighter, as sweet as if she were in a honey pot.
Jian Yixue assumed he would be busy at this time and didn't expect him to reply to her message, so she was pleasantly surprised.
Then I typed a message and sent it: "Okay, I'm getting ready to get up. Are you busy?"
"Just finished a meeting, and we're reviewing the project."
Ye Mohan, sitting in his chair in the office, typed a message on his phone and sent it over.
"Oh, okay, you go ahead and get busy, don't let it interfere with your work. I'm getting ready to get up and go downstairs for breakfast too."
"Yes, eat more to replenish your energy."
"Okay, I understand."

When Jian Yixue finished washing up and went downstairs, she saw that Lin Ma was already waiting for her in the living room.
Hearing the noise at the bottom of the stairs, Lin Ma looked up and said, "Young Madam, you're awake. The food is warm. Please sit down and you'll be able to eat soon."
Jian Yixue felt a little embarrassed. She had slept until late morning, which was not a good impression.
Suddenly, the meaningful look in Lin's mother's eyes after she tidied up their bedroom that day came to mind, and Jian Yixue felt terrible.
I wanted to explain, but I didn't know how. I was also afraid that the more I explained, the more confusing it would become. After thinking about it, I decided to just leave it at that.
They are adults too, so these are all normal physiological needs.
Jian Yixue blushed and nodded, then quickly ran to sit down on a chair at the dining table.
They sit and wait to be fed.
Upon seeing this, Lin's mother's mouth stretched into a wide grin, and she turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Lin's mother served the dishes very quickly, and the table was soon filled with food.
Looking at the seven or eight dishes on the table, Jian Yixue thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Lin, you don't need to cook so many dishes in the future. One or two dishes are enough for me."
She really couldn't eat that much; it would take hours to make all those dishes, and it would be a waste.
According to their usual mealtimes, Lin's mother had to get up at six or seven o'clock at the latest to prepare the food, when it was still dark. I felt sorry for Lin's mother's hard work.
Now, Lin Ma, after putting down the last dish at the table, said with a smile, "How can that be? The young mistress is too thin and needs to eat more. As long as you like to eat, I don't think it's hard work."
Hearing this, Jian Yixue was both amused and touched by Lin Ma's kindness.
But she really can't gain weight; no matter how much she eats, she won't gain any.
Before, she was considered to have a big appetite in the organization, even more than Youju. But no matter how much she ate, she didn't gain weight even if she didn't exercise.
Because of this, Youju has complained to her countless times.
Jian Yixue felt that she might have inherited her mother's physique, and in her memory, her mother had always been very slim.
"Aunt Lin, I know you mean well. But I really can't eat that much food by myself. So, I'll have two dishes and a soup by myself, that way I won't have any problems with getting enough nutrition."
"If Mo Han were here, we'd double it, how about that?"
Seeing Jian Yixue's determination, Lin's mother thought about how much food she had left over every day before and nodded in agreement with Jian Yixue's suggestion.
"Listen to the young mistress, drink more fish soup. The fish was delivered fresh from the market this morning."
Lin Ma looked at Jian Yixue with loving eyes and smiled as she spoke, like an elder giving advice to her child. This warmed Jian Yixue's heart, who had lacked maternal love since childhood, and she nodded happily with tears in her eyes.
Jian Yixue picked up a soup spoon and ladled herself a bowl of fresh fish soup. After taking a few sips, she immediately found it delicious and looked up at Lin Ma with a smile, saying, "It's so fresh and delicious."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ma's smile widened even more. "I'm glad the young mistress likes it. I'll go tidy up the kitchen first, young mistress, please enjoy your meal."
Jane nodded obediently.
——
After finishing her meal, Jian Yixue said goodbye to Lin Ma and prepared to leave. She casually drove a Porsche out of the garage and drove away from the castle.
While she was waiting at the traffic light, her phone rang, and she answered it on speakerphone.
"What's wrong, Mo Han?"
"Aren't you home?"
"Yes, I'm planning to go to Youluo's place to arrange some things. Did you need to see me?"
Jian Yixue leaned against the car window with one hand and turned the steering wheel with the other as she answered.
"Yuxuan came to get your blood sample, but said you weren't home, so she called to ask where you were."
I gave Jian Mingpeng the sample last night. If you're busy, I'll have him come another time.
Ye Mohan sat in his office chair, signing documents as he spoke.
Jian Yixue glanced at the surrounding area and said to Ye Mohan, "It's alright, I'm very close to his research institute now. I'll go to his research institute and wait for him, and then go to Youluo's place later."
They then changed their original driving route.
"Okay, I'll tell him. Drive carefully."
"Um."
Fearing that Jian Yixue might be distracted while driving, Ye Mohan hung up the phone without saying much. He then called Zhou Yuxuan, telling him to go to the research institute, before continuing with his official business.
After hanging up the phone and saying goodbye to Lin Ma, Zhou Yuxuan, trapped in the castle, reluctantly picked up his first-aid kit and left the castle, driving towards the research institute.
There's nothing we can do; he's the eldest brother, after all.
As the underling, he could only obediently do his job.
Not long after, when Zhou Yuxuan arrived at the entrance of the research institute, he saw Jian Yixue sitting in the car with the window open, looking down and doing something.
September in the capital city has already entered autumn, but being located in the south, the weather is still relatively warm. Apart from the occasional autumn breeze that brings a slight coolness, it is not much different from summer.
Zhou Yuxuan parked the car, walked to Jian Yixue's car window, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law."
Upon hearing Zhou Yuxuan's voice, Jian Yixue glanced at the top left corner of the screen, exited the mobile game, and smiled slightly at Zhou Yuxuan, "You're here. You're quick."
The journey from the castle takes about 40 to 50 minutes, but from the time she received Ye Mohan's call until now, it's only been about 25 minutes.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan smiled smugly, "If my sister-in-law needs anything, I'll be there as fast as I can."
Jian Yixue smiled faintly, then opened the car door and got out.
"Let's go."
He then stepped ahead of Zhou Yuxuan and walked towards the research institute.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan grabbed a first-aid kit and followed.
——
After Zhou Yuxuan finished drawing blood in the lab, he pulled out the needle and pressed a medical cotton swab against Jian Yixue's wrist.
"Press for a few minutes."
Jian Yixue nodded and took the cotton swab from Zhou Yuxuan, which was pressed against her wrist, to press on the bleeding point.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan turned around, shook the specimen for a while, and placed it on a medical tray. Then he took the tray to a nearby refrigerator and placed Jian Yixue's blood sample next to the only other blood sample in the refrigerator.
