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

The news of Xia Wange's arrival at the company was first spread throughout the company by the security guard.

Upon learning that Xia Wange had arrived, the entire company was instantly filled with laughter and joy, creating an atmosphere comparable to that before the Lunar New Year.

Finally, finally, I don't have to see President Lu's "dead" face anymore. No matter how handsome he is, if he stares at you with a serious face and speaks with a very low pressure while listening to your report, you'll want to throw the documents in his face.

Now, Master Xia has arrived.

Good morning, Sister Xia!

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xia!"

"Sister Xia, it's great to see you here! It's so good to see you here!"

Xia Wange looked at everyone's excited expressions as they looked at her, completely bewildered. Even she, who was skilled in physiognomy, couldn't tell what kind of happy event they had.

The joyful atmosphere made her think that the next big festival wasn't the Ghost Festival.

Lu Qiu arrived a little late, which was unusual for him. When the employees saw that their boss was in a good mood, they could only think one thing.

"really."

They even thought that if someone went up to President Lu, patted him on the shoulder, and called out, "Little Lu, you have to work hard!" President Lu wouldn't get angry.

However, they dared not put it into practice, but some others did.

That was Du Yun, who had gone out to run business for three days because of Lu Qiu's low pressure.

Du Yun had originally planned to meet with a company to discuss business today and avoid Lu Qiu for a day, but his keen senses told him immediately that Master Xia was coming, so he went straight to the company.

Just as she was about to push open the door to the CEO's office to tease Lu Qiushi, who had been acting like he was on his period these past few days, she found that the door wouldn't open.

He looked at Assistant Xu, who was also standing outside the door, with a bewildered expression. "What's going on?"

Assistant Xu adjusted his glasses. "As soon as President Lu arrived, he called Master Xia into his office. He said he had something to discuss."

"Calling them Sister Xia? There are two of them? And they locked the door?" Du Yun was surprised, then stroked his chin with a mischievous grin. "Master Xia is probably going to show Lu Qiu some kind of exploding ghost again."

To be honest, if it were anyone else, Du Yun's thoughts would have already raced off in a suggestive direction. But since it was Sister Xia inside, his thoughts only had two branches: one was scientific, and the other was metaphysical, keeping everything perfectly clean.

Inside the office, Xia Wange, unlike her usual lazy self, was sitting opposite Lu Qiu. They were separated by Lu Qiu's large desk, and the atmosphere was a little tense. She was nervous, not for any other reason than that Lu Qiu had called her into his office as soon as he arrived that morning, saying that he wanted to have an open and frank talk with her about something.

What else is there to say? Everyone has to confess one thing, and everyone must tell the truth.

Xia Wange pursed her lips; she knew that after yesterday's events, something could no longer be kept secret.

"Xia Wange." Lu Qiu's expression was serious and solemn. "I think the bond between us is deeper than anyone else's. Love, family, friendship, camaraderie—none of them are as strong as the bond between us, a bond that is worth the price of life. The two of us have the most stable and reliable relationship. So I think we should be honest with each other and have no secrets. Let's make this clear this time to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future."

At this point, Lu Qiu quickly added, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you something. After last night, I've more or less guessed what you've been hiding from me."

Xia Wange took a deep breath, then slowly deflated. "Okay, you're right. Who wants to go first?"

"Alright, let me go first. You should have guessed it yesterday anyway. I thought you were going to ask me yesterday." Xia Wange said quickly, "Yes, the token I gave you can indeed track your location. Not only can it track your location, but it can also sense your life state. Since a wisp of my soul exists on that token, if it's near you, your purple aura will slowly nourish that wisp of soul. The stronger it becomes, the more it indirectly affects my soul. Even if we part ways in the future, as long as the token is still near you, I can still gain some benefits from it."

Xia Wange said somewhat apologetically, "At first, we weren't familiar with each other. It was our first time working together, and I didn't know you well, so I had to be careful. But after spending more time with you, I realized that I was overthinking things. Just like you said, our relationship is bound together by life and death..."

"Wait a minute." Xia Wange frowned, staring into Lu Qiu's eyes, and said seriously, "How do you know that our lives are bound together?"

She always told Lu Qiu that she was helping him cure his illness, only saying that she was dispelling his qi to heal his leg. He should only know that he needs his qi to perform magic, but she never said that she also needs to use his qi to earn merit and prolong her life.

Hearing Xia Wange ask this question, Lu Qiu's expression became even more serious. Xia Wange had hit the nail on the head.

So he said, word by word, "This is what I want to tell you honestly, Xia Wange. I can hear your heart."

"Holy crap!" Xia Wange kicked out in shock, sending the chair she was sitting on flying. She hugged her leg, huddled in a corner, eyes wide with disbelief. "What? Is this what I meant? You can hear my thoughts?! Did I hear you wrong?"

Seeing her strong reaction, Lu Qiu felt a pang of guilt in his eyes. He gently nodded his chin. "Yes, you heard right. I can indeed hear your thoughts."

Xia Wange gasped, staring at Lu Qiu for a long time, so long that Lu Qiu couldn't hold back any longer before Xia Wange frowned and asked, "Did you hear what I was thinking?"

Lu Qiu: "..."

"No, it depends on the conditions. I can only hear your thoughts when we touch an object together."

"Oh, that's good." Xia Wange breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly gathered her strength. "So that's why I encountered the wheelchair with you in the first place, and why I had such bad luck those few days? You heard me thinking about taking, cough, borrowing your wheelchair?"

Lu Qiu nodded and said seriously, "At first, after confirming that I could hear your thoughts, I did treat this as a trump card for self-protection because I didn't know you well, so I had some concerns. But after spending time with you, I found that you are optimistic and strong, highly skilled, helpful, kind-hearted, meticulous, bold yet careful. In short... I was captivated by your personal charm. After unnecessary misunderstandings and arguments, I feel that it's best for us to be open and honest with each other..."

"Wait a minute." Xia Wange rubbed her nose, moved a little closer, and her tightly pursed lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. "Say those words before 'personal charm' again."

Lu Qiu: "..."

He knew she loved hearing these things.

So Lu Qiu repeated it, adding descriptions such as naturally beautiful, approachable, lively and cheerful, and positive.
