Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Lu Qiu waited for two days, and on the third day he finally couldn't resist calling Xia Wange, only to find that she couldn't get through.

Looking at the calendar, it was already the end of the month. Thinking about their agreement to try it out for a month, Lu Qiu felt a little anxious. Could it be that Xia Wange would just leave without saying goodbye because of what happened that night?

A jumble of thoughts raced through his mind. He quickly checked the office security camera and was relieved to find that the large jade pieces were still there.

These are all Xia Wange's treasures; she can't possibly not want them.

So as soon as he arrived at work, he asked Cao Niannian where Xia Wange was.

Although Cao Niannian was confused, Master Xia had indeed told her before he left that if anyone looked for her, she should say that she was on a business trip.

"A business trip?" Lu Qiu frowned and stared at Cao Niannian for a long time before finally letting out a slight sigh of relief.

He chuckled, muttered under his breath, "Another business trip," and then left.

In short, the entire headquarters floor has been in a low-pressure state ever since Xia Wange went on her business trip. Lu Qiu's inspections have become increasingly strict. In the past, if there were minor mistakes at work, Lu Qiu would not criticize too harshly if Xia Wange was present. But now it's different. Without Xia Wange in the president's office, going in means getting criticized.

After a long day, everyone is looking forward to the weekend and hopes to relax on Sunday, which is also Qixi Festival.

Lu Qiu's gloomy mood continued into the home, making Lu's parents feel uncomfortable even if they wanted to show affection. As a result, the two middle-aged and elderly legally married couple could only celebrate secretly in private, as if they were having an affair.

It wasn't that Lu Qiu said or did anything that made the atmosphere at home awkward; it was precisely because the other party didn't say or do anything that made people feel something was wrong.

Although Lu Qiu remained as quiet as before, they would chat occasionally or discuss company matters.

But things are different now. No matter what they are doing, he stares blankly at the two bracelets on his hands, one white and one green, for a long time. Sometimes when they ask him questions, he suddenly comes to his senses and asks them what they want. After he finishes speaking, he starts staring blankly at the bracelets again.

This situation reached its peak when the Lu family watched the Qixi Festival Gala together, and Lu's parents finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to their rooms.

Of course, before going back to their room, they also pulled Brother Lu, who was also single, into the room.

Lu's mother: "What's wrong with your brother? He was quite cheerful a few days ago, what's wrong with him these past few days?"

Mr. Lu: "What happened?"

Brother Lu scratched his head. "Yesterday he asked me if a woman, if she gets really angry, would just throw away what she cherishes most and leave me?"

Lu's mother: "A woman?"

Mr. Lu: "Something precious? What was your answer?"

Brother Lu said, "I would say yes. When women are really angry, of course they'll just leave. Mom, didn't you do that? When we were little, if you got angry, you'd just leave my brother and me at home for Dad to take care of, and then go out and have some fun, right?"

Just as she was about to scold her brother, Lu's mother felt a little guilty, but she still couldn't help saying, "This is your fault! Your brother clearly wanted a negative answer, and you just made things worse! Sigh!"

After saying that, she went to the inner room.

Mr. Lu, however, had little restraint and bluntly said, "What nonsense are you spouting all day long?! Who are you to be your mother's most precious possessions? I'm clearly her most precious possession! With your level of comprehension, from now on, if your brother asks you anything, make sure you discuss it in our little group chat first! Don't give random answers anymore!"

After saying that, Mr. Lu went back.

Brother Lu was left with a look of utter disgust.

The moon on Qixi Festival wasn't very bright, but the weather was good, and you could see a lot of stars. Lu Qiu looked at the stars in the sky, then decisively drew the curtains and went to bed early.

There were many things he couldn't understand. In his opinion, he should have been angry about their conflict that day, but she was the one who left without saying goodbye.

Rationally, he knew that the other party couldn't just disappear, but the reality dealt him a heavy blow. Four days passed without any news, he couldn't get through on the phone, and she didn't reply to his messages. It was as if Xia Wange's appearance was just his illusion, leaving behind a pile of jade stones before leaving.

As night deepened, Lu Qiu faintly heard someone knocking on his window.

"Knock knock knock".

"Knock knock knock".

Lu Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the sound. His heart tightened instantly and began to beat faster.

His room was on the third floor.

The knocking on the window seemed to grow impatient, becoming louder and more frequent.

"Knock knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock knock!"

You can still faintly hear his name.

"Lu Qiu~"

"Lu Qiu~"

In the middle of the night, on the third floor, I knocked on the window and called his name.

Lu Qiu went through all the urban legends in his mind, and his heart grew increasingly nervous.

He intended to ignore it, but the knocking on the window grew louder and harder to ignore. He suddenly remembered what Xia Wange had once told him.

He was surrounded by a purple aura, his nobility beyond measure, and no evil spirit could harm him.

So Lu Qiu got out of bed, sat in her wheelchair and went to the window. After taking a deep breath, she suddenly pulled open the curtains. When she saw the scene outside the window, Lu Qiu's heart jumped into her throat, and all her voices were stuck there, unable to come out.

Outside the window, a woman with a deathly pale face was pressed tightly against the glass. Her nose was distorted from the pressure. She stared at him with wide, round eyes. Her breath made the glass damp, making her face look even more eerie. Her fingers were tapping incessantly on the glass.

"Thump, thump thump thump..."

Lu Qiu closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and calmed himself for a moment before opening the window with a look of disgust.

Sometimes he admired himself for being able to recognize Xia Wange from such an ugly face.

He had a lot of swear words to say, but he didn't know whether he should say them or not.

Before he could even speak, Xia Wange rolled in through the window and said quickly, "Boss, please ward off this evil spirit for me."

After saying that, she stuffed a talisman into Lu Qiu's hand, and Xia Wange slid onto the bed and wrapped herself in the blanket that was covered with Lu Qiu's scent.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Just as Lu Qiu's eyes fell on the talisman in his hand, he suddenly looked up and felt a gust of wind blow in from the window, hitting him directly.

Why use the word "group"? Because he vaguely sensed that the group of wind carrying black smoke completely enveloped him, but it quickly disappeared.

He felt he should shield her, and most noticeably, his leg, which had been vaguely aching, felt much better instantly. He touched the skin above his knee and found that there was a significant increase in the area where he could feel the pain.

Now he has regained feeling in his legs, from the knees up.

As the talisman in his hand spontaneously combusted and disappeared, Lu Qiu turned to look at Xia Wange, at which point Xia Wange poked her head out from under the covers.

She laughed and said, "Oh, boss, you're amazing! You managed to neutralize such a strong evil aura so easily. How was it? The effect was great, wasn't it? It was worth all the hard work of bringing this over from Nepal, crossing the plateau and boarding the plane at the last minute."
