Urban Super Medical Saint

Ge Dongxu had no choice but to let out a sheepish laugh when Liu Jiayao pushed him away and stopped his hand.

Seeing that triumphant smirk on Ge Dongxu's face, Liu Jiayao couldn't help but pinch him hard until he raised his hand to surrender. Only then did she release him and take his arm as they headed out the door.

Large chain supermarkets had only started becoming popular in recent years, but their growth was incredibly rapid.

Especially among the younger generation, many preferred to choose supermarkets for grocery shopping.

Ge Dongxu, intimately arm in arm with Liu Jiayao, a woman of elegant beauty, naturally drew envious and jealous glances from many young men.

Due to her status, Liu Jiayao rarely visited supermarkets. Tonight was a rare occasion with Ge Dongxu accompanying her to experience the life of ordinary people, and her mood was exceptionally good.

While shopping for groceries, she acted like a housewife, fussing over the selection, which amused and exasperated Ge Dongxu.

"Greens aren't necessarily better the greener they are, too vibrant typically means an overuse of nitrogen fertilizer. This asparagus, don't think it's tender just because it's thin, you need to check if the root is tender. As for tomatoes, we're planning to make soup, so it's best to choose big red ones for a thick and tasty broth, while these pink types are good for eating raw. Also, it's better to pick tomatoes that are indented at the top, not the ones that are pointed, as those are usually ripened artificially." As a meticulous chef, Ge Dongxu couldn't stand it anymore seeing Liu Jiayao picking just the attractive ones and finally "could not bear it any longer." He took out each item from the cart, selecting ingredients he thought were better.

"Hey, hey, do you even know what you're doing? I picked them very carefully, you know!" Liu Jiayao complained when Ge Dongxu took out all of her carefully chosen items, just as she was feeling quite accomplished, pouting in protest.

"My dear girl, you are so fortunate. It's rare nowadays for young people to understand these things. It's clear that he's the cook in your home. Auntie isn't as fortunate—I have to serve the old man at home all day," a middle-aged woman, picking vegetables nearby, chimed in with a laugh when she saw Liu Jiayao pouting.

Liu Jiayao instantly blushed deeply, while Ge Dongxu gave her a smug look before smiling at the woman and saying, "Auntie, actually, I'm the fortunate one. Look at me, being able to find such a beautiful and capable girlfriend; that must be the reward for my good deeds in my past life. Oh, I'd happily do anything, not just cook."

As Liu Jiayao blushed deeply, she initially wanted to pinch Ge Dongxu discreetly, but his flattering words nearly melted her heart, and she just couldn't bring herself to pinch him.

"Young lady, this young man is really quite good, you better cherish him!" The woman grew even fonder of Ge Dongxu, and earnestly advised Liu Jiayao before she walked away.

"Look at him, knows how to cook and treats his girlfriend well. And you? You can't even shop for groceries without looking so reluctant!" Not far away, another young girl wasn't having the same experience as Liu Jiayao, and gave a fierce pinch to her boyfriend's waist.

The man, while begging for mercy, gave Ge Dongxu a spiteful glance as if blaming him for his plight.

Brother, can you not be so capable? You're making my life miserable here.

Of course, Ge Dongxu couldn't hear the guy's inner thoughts, but he gave him a sympathetic look and then whispered in Liu Jiayao's ear, "Did you hear that? Auntie said you have to cherish me."

"Look how smug you are!" Liu Jiayao shot Ge Dongxu a sideways glance, but her hand clung to his even tighter as she said, "Fine, since you're so capable, I'll stop caring. You pick everything."

"That's the spirit. Such tasks shouldn't bother you at all, I can handle them," Ge Dongxu exaggeratedly proclaimed.

"Pfft!" Liu Jiayao couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight, and the man again suffered an unwarranted disaster because of what Ge Dongxu had just said.

"Next week I need to make a trip to Hong Kong, do you have time to come with me?" On the way home after grocery shopping, Liu Jiayao asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Next week should be fine, but this week would be impossible. An elder apprentice is visiting me these days," Ge Dongxu replied.

"Dongxu, it's so good to have you by my side." At his words, Liu Jiayao couldn't help but rest her head on Ge Dongxu's shoulder, her face radiating happiness.

"By the way, what are you going to Hong Kong for?" Ge Dongxu asked.

"Flower Spirit's development has been smoother than expected, and if there is enough supply of raw materials, we might be able to launch it early next year. This time, Flower Spirit is targeted at the mid-to-high-end market, and I even hope to penetrate the luxury market with a few upcoming models. Therefore, choosing the right celebrity endorser is absolutely critical. Considering the temperament and international impact besides popularity, celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan are still superior to those from the mainland. After careful consideration, I've temporarily decided on the popular Hong Kong actress He Mengjie. She is beautiful and has a great demeanor, has starred in several popular films and TV dramas, won major awards, and currently, she has no makeup brand endorsements. However, I've never met her, so I want to see her in person, have a discussion, and see if she's a good fit. The meeting time was just set today," Liu Jiayao replied.

"The choice of a celebrity endorser is indeed very crucial, and it's good to be cautious. As for the supply of raw materials, you don't need to worry. I'll prepare everything tomorrow and then arrange the flower garden to ensure the plants grow well. If the market reacts well, we can expand the cultivation area," said Ge Dongxu.

"That's great, as long as there's no problem with the raw material supply, I'll handle everything else," Liu Jiayao said happily.

"I believe that, our Madam Liu is a powerhouse in the business world," Ge Dongxu flattered.

"You just know how to make me happy!" Liu Jiayao rolled her eyes at Ge Dongxu, grinning.

"I'm just telling the truth," Ge Dongxu said earnestly.

While they were talking, the two arrived home, then Ge Dongxu started preparing dinner.

Liu Jiayao wanted to help but was shooed away by Ge Dongxu, so she could only lean on the kitchen door and watch Ge Dongxu bustling about in the kitchen, her eyes full of happiness.

However, Liu Jiayao's eyes filled with happiness soon turned to sheer astonishment.

Because she found that Ge Dongxu's cooking was just like those exaggerated performances in the movies.

He tossed the asparagus into the air, and with a few swishes of the kitchen knife, evenly cut asparagus pieces fell into the pot. Then, flipping the wok seemed like a juggling act, dazzling Liu Jiayao.

As for the dishes he cooked, that goes without saying.

They were perfect in color, aroma, taste, and presentation! Liu Jiayao was so tempted to eat, yet she somewhat hesitated to dig in, afraid she might ruin the perfect artworks.
