My gorgeous wife

"Mmm... Aunt Wang's cooking is really delicious."

Li Chen kept eating while lavishing praise on Aunt Wang without reservation.

"As long as the young master likes it, it's good. Miss always eats at the company, and it's quite lonely for me to eat alone at home every day. From now on, feel free to tell me what you want to eat; Aunt Wang will go buy it and cook it for you."

"Now that's what I'm talking about. Let's have seafood tomorrow; it's been so long since I've had some."

Just as the two of them were eating, Lin Yi came back.

"Miss, you're back? That's great; we just started eating. I'll grab a set of utensils for you."

Aunt Wang was quite surprised to see Lin Yi come back so early today; she usually came back only after Aunt Wang had finished eating.

"Wife, come, sit next to me."

Li Chen also stood up and shouted to Lin Yi.

"You... you'd better remember our relationship."

Lin Yi had just returned when she heard Li Chen shout such a phrase, immediately feeling her brain go fuzzy. Yes, although the money was in hand, she was now married. Even if they were to divorce after three months, she would still be considered a young widow in people's eyes, and her next marriage would be a second marriage.

Deep down, Lin Yi was a conservative woman. Once married, she wanted to stick with it. As long as Li Chen was even slightly nice to her, she might try hard to keep the marriage going.

Not for any other reason, but because she knew that for someone like her, it's often hard to have control over one's marriage. Marrying anyone would be the same, so if Li Chen could make her feel comfortable, then even if she had to endure some 'grievances', what would it really matter?

Yet looking at Li Chen now, she felt a surge of annoyance. This man, what virtues or abilities does he have to be worthy of her!

Lin Yi was proud, as she had the capital to be proud.

"Relationship? Aren't we husband and wife? What's wrong with me calling you wife?"

Li Chen chuckled, seeing the pride that Lin Yi carried deep within— he was doing it on purpose just to irritate this woman.

"You..."

Lin Yi realized that arguing with this man was not a wise choice.

"Aunt Wang, I'm not eating. Don't bother."

After saying that, Lin Yi headed straight upstairs, the sound of her high heels clacking against the wooden floor was so clear and distinct.

But Lin Yi had only taken a couple of steps when suddenly her brain went blank, followed by a wave of weakness throughout her body. Her handbag slipped powerlessly from her grasp, and she slumped down all at once.

Just as she was about to fall, she suddenly felt herself leaning against something warm, and when she turned her head to look, it turned out to be the very person she despised the most.

She tried to struggle, but her entire body had no strength at all, not even enough to keep her eyelids from growing heavier.

"Wife, what are you trying to do, huh? If you want to get close to your husband, you don't have to go to such lengths. Just leave the door open for me tonight, and I'll come over, won't I?"

Li Chen spoke with a smile. However, Lin Yi's body was truly soft; as Li Chen's hands supported her waist, it felt as if her body had no bones at all. Moreover, there was a unique scent on Lin Yi that he was all too familiar with; it wasn't perfume, but a woman's natural fragrance—Li Chen, who had roamed through countless 'flower fields,' knew this without a doubt.

The two remained tightly embraced. Lin Yi wanted to struggle but had no strength, while Li Chen took the opportunity to take some liberties.

"Mmnh..."

Lin Yi's eyes suddenly became hazy, and she couldn't help but let out a sound from her cute nose.

The initiator of all this was Li Chen's hands. At that moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they found their way to Lin Yi's ample bust.

Feeling all of this, Lin Yi's face changed instantly; this man was actually...

But Li Chen remained blissfully unaware, giving Lin Yi a very meaningful look.

Just as Aunt Wang emerged from the kitchen and saw the two of them in that pose, she immediately turned her head and walked away.

The young people these days really, they have no regard for the presence of an old person like me.

Lin Yi swore that if she could move at that moment, she would definitely chop off Li Chen's thieving hands and then gouge out his roguish eyes.

Unable to tolerate being teased by Li Chen like this, Lin Yi suddenly felt a rush of heat to her brain, and then she lost consciousness entirely.

Li Chen had wanted to continue teasing Lin Yi, but he suddenly realized something was wrong—that Lin Yi had actually fainted.

At first, Li Chen thought Lin Yi had just stumbled while walking, but now it was clear that wasn't the case at all.

He immediately freed one hand and placed it at Lin Yi's philtrum, only for his hand to suddenly jerk back, his face showing a shocked expression.

"Sicalin, how could this be, how could you have such a toxin in your system!"

No wonder Li Chen was shocked, because the toxin known as Sicalin was no simple matter, accessible only to those at a certain level. Lin Yi was merely a minor CEO with a net worth of less than ten billion. Even if someone wanted her dead, they wouldn't use such a toxin.

After his initial shock, Li Chen immediately calmed himself, picked Lin Yi up around the waist, and ran upstairs.

Just then, Aunt Wang happened to come out again and seeing this scene, couldn't help but complain in her heart: The young people today are really too impatient, at least wait until after dinner to go upstairs.

Li Chen couldn't care less about that now, carrying Lin Yi straight to her room, he kicked the door open with one foot.

He placed Lin Yi on the bed and immediately started to unzip her tight dress.

At this point, he couldn't be concerned with propriety, and stripped off Lin Yi's clothes, leaving her in just her underwear.

Although Li Chen had no particular feelings for Lin Yi, she was, after all, the first woman he'd married, and he didn't want to see her life at risk.

Sicalin is a toxin that puts its victims into a coma within an hour, appearing as if they are asleep, and lasts until death, with doctors unable to detect any issues unless they are familiar with the characteristics of Sicalin.

And Li Chen happened to know because his lab was capable of producing such a toxin.

The lethal mechanism of Sicalin is to slow down the person's blood flow, similar to an Aging Potion, turning the victim's body functions into that of an eighty or ninety-year-old within just two days, ultimately leading to death.

He returned to his room, opened a package, and took out a syringe filled with a clear liquid, then went back to Lin Yi's side.

This was the Antidote for Sicalin, but it couldn't completely eliminate the toxin.

After the injection, Li Chen sat on the bed, placed his hands on Lin Yi's back, and closed his eyes.

At this moment, he had to use his own True Qi to restore Lin Yi's bodily functions to a certain level, and she would get better within a couple of days.

Ten minutes later, the room was filled with a faint mist, and Li Chen's lips were a bit dry.

Gradually, Lin Yi regained some consciousness, and when she saw herself nearly naked in front of Li Chen, she mustered the courage from nowhere and pushed Li Chen away.

"Pfft..."

Li Chen's body suddenly fell backward, hitting the cushion behind the bed.

At this moment Li Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth were stained with the fresh blood he had just coughed up. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to do that to him.

Just now, his True Qi had already leaked out, and in his efforts to save Lin Yi, he had severely overexerted his bodily strength. Lin Yi's push had caught him off guard and winded him.

As a Martial Artist, getting winded is no simple matter; at best it leads to serious injury, at worst, it results in death.
