Design competition? Cheng Mohan suddenly remembered Ruan Nuo’s words.

She had been invited to participate in a design competition, but he had declined on her behalf due to her lack of time.

“Oh, right. Have your brothers contacted you recently?” Qiao Xinhui inquired. “Did they mention when they would be able to come home? It’s been a few days, and no one has called me!”

“No.” Cheng Mohan rarely communicated with his brothers. While they occasionally sent him messages, especially Old Fifth, who was quite talkative, he seldom responded and was mainly focused on his work.

In his efforts to expand the corporation and capture overseas markets, Cheng Mohan had been occupied abroad for the past few years. Some regions targeted the Chinese market, while others posed challenges from local forces that proved stubborn and difficult to eliminate. Fortunately, through his dedication, the corporation had more than doubled in size since Cheng Ye handed it to him! Typically, aside from work, he focused on resting. His family understood the precision of his schedule, so they weren’t concerned about his infrequent replies.

“I heard that our group has recently achieved significant results in research and development. These results have caught the attention of many foreign entities. You need to be cautious moving forward.”

While Cheng Ye had faith in his eldest son’s capabilities, many forces weren’t ordinary organizations but had state backing. This was essentially a competition between nations.

“1 wonder how many obstacles they’ll create for you behind your back and how many unscrupulous things they’ll do…” Cheng Ye expressed some concern.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

With those reassurances from his eldest son, Cheng Ye sighed in relief. “I know you’re capable… You’ve been a source of worry since you were young, but sometimes, don’t overexert yourself. You need to rest more…”

“It’s rare for our son to come home, so let’s avoid talking about work.” Qiao Xinhui picked up a pair of chopsticks and served Cheng Mohan more food. “Come, eat more. This is your favorite.”

At Zhongshan Forest Village.

Fang Yuan successfully extracted the beefsteak plant and preserved it in a liquid state at minus 18 degrees Celsius. The experts and doctors present couldn’t help but express their admiration.

“It’s done!”

“Miss Fang, you’re truly amazing! Extracting such a high-purity beefsteak plant in such a short time is incredible. 1 admire you so much!”

“We’ve been attempting for half a month without success. Miss Fang arrives, and we succeed. Now, everyone can finally rest easy!”contemporary romance

“However, synthesizing the subsequent ingredients to effectively increase acetylcholine levels in the brain is much more challenging…” This step required a higher level of expertise.

“I’ll give it a try.”

Fang Yuan glanced at the clock; it was already past eight in the evening. She used the computer to simulate, synthesize, and experiment with the internal structure of over ten medicinal herbs to observe their reactions.

After dinner, Cheng Mohan sat on the sofa, occasionally casting his gaze toward the main door.

Cheng Yuqi approached with a fruit platter, wearing a sweet smile.

“Eldest Brother, 1 peeled this apple and shaped it into a small crab. Isn’t it cute?” she smiled innocently. “1 even cut the pear into the shape of a little bird. And the strawberry is a Christmas grandpa. What do you think?” She deliberately pointed at the fruits on the plate with her injured finger.

Cheng Mohan noticed her finger right away and asked, “Are you injured?” He promptly took the fruit plate and instructed the nearby servant, “Fetch the first aid kit.” The servant hurried to get it.

Cheng Yuqi pretended to inspect her finger. “Maybe I accidentally cut it while slicing fruits. It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt at all. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed it just now.”

“You’ve hurt your finger; how can it not hurt?” Cheng Mohan knew she was lying. She had always been sensible, even when she once injured her knee in the garden. It was clearly painful, yet she endured it to keep everyone happy, afraid they would feel sorry for her.

Cheng Yuqi hid her fingers behind her back and smiled like a flower. “Eldest Brother, you haven’t been home for a long time. I wanted to make you a creative fruit platter, but it seemed quite simple in the video. In the end, 1 was clumsy when I tried it myself. It took so long, and I only managed a few types. Eldest Brother, you won’t mind, right?”

“How could I?” Cheng Mohan couldn’t hide the gentleness in his voice.

“Although it’s not perfect, I’ll practice more in the future. I’ll definitely get better!” Cheng Yuqi smiled obediently. “So, Eldest Brother, you have to come home more often. I need more practice. Don’t be like this year, only coming back twice. My neck hurts from waiting!”

Cheng Mohan’s voice was indulgent. “You don’t have to go to such lengths.”

“But 1 want to personally cook for you, Eldest Brother! As long as you come home more often, 1 can do anything…” Cheng Yuqi said coquettishly. “Eldest Brother, you think my cooking is ugly and don’t want to eat it, right?”

Cheng Mohan poked a strawberry Santa Claus with a fruit stick and handed it
