Yuanman lives in the countryside with her coffin maker grandpa, never imagining that one day she would be taken back by the richest family in S City, the Jiang family.
But they called her and...
Finally, Nan Yuanman added, "It's not just the dolls that can talk. If you see any little black figures like the flowers and grass you saw at Li Yuzhen's house, call the number above to contact me."
"Do you understand?"
Lou Yuqi nodded, somewhat confused: "I understand."
After nodding, he realized what was happening. Clutching the business card tightly, he looked at Nan Yuanman with a horrified expression, swallowed hard, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, you...you mean...there's a dead ghost and a lecherous ghost in my mom's dollhouse?"
Nan Yuanman: "..." What exactly did Lou Yuqi's grandmother teach him?!
She honestly replied, "I don't know either."
"But it's better to be prepared. If you encounter anything strange, or any strange aunts or uncles, contact me."
No matter what, Lou Yuqi was her little brother, and it's only natural for a boss to protect his little brother.
Lou Yuqi put away the business card and nodded vigorously.
Nan Yuanman took out a purification talisman and stuck it on the rag doll to purify the resentment and corpse energy on her body before carefully putting it away.
A beautiful day passed peacefully.
Meng Qingwan came to pick up Nan Yuanman again today. Her brothers and father have been doing something mysterious these days, and she can hardly see them during the day except at night.
Nan Yuanman wasn't a clingy child, and she knew very well that the adults had their own things to do, so she didn't bother them.
Back at the manor, Butler Su had already prepared dinner.
Nan Yuanman and Meng Qingwan ate until their bellies were round, then sprawled on the sofa, enjoying watching TV.
Unlike the tranquility of Nanmanyuan, Lou Yuqi's home was bustling with activity.
Not only did Lou Yuqi's mother return, but his father also came back from a business trip. With his parents by his side, he was as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
After dinner, Grandma Lou made an excuse to play cards and went out to play with her friends, leaving the family of three, who had finally reunited, alone.
Lou Yuqi snuggled in his mother Dong Yuanxiang's sweet and soft embrace, chattering about the fun things that happened to him when he was in school.
They talked about this and that, from going to school to seeing small flowers and grasses at Li Yuzhen's place before.
Dong Yuanxiang nestled in her husband Lou Haoyu's arms, listening quietly with a smile, occasionally chiming in with, "Oh, is that so? Our little Lou is really great."
"That's amazing..."
Lou Yuqi blushed at the praise and smiled shyly, "I'm not amazing, my boss is amazing! Li Yuzhen fell from such a high balcony, and she rushed over and caught her without getting hurt at all!"
"Oh right, Mom!" Overjoyed, Lou Yuqi suddenly remembered the business card Nan Yuanman had asked him to bring. He quickly jumped out of her arms and frantically picked up his little schoolbag to search for it.
He pulled out a cartoon business card from inside and handed it to her: "This is a return gift from my boss. She said that if you see the doll talking or walking, you should call this business card to contact her."
Dong Yuanxiang didn't take Lou Yuqi's words to heart, thinking they were just childish talk, but she wouldn't spoil his mood. She solemnly accepted the business card: "Okay, Mom understands."
Lou Haoyu glanced at his watch, then stepped forward and picked up Lou Yuqi: "Alright, it's getting late. Time for a bath and bed. Dad will bathe you today."
"Oh, you stinky daddy, I'm five years old now, I can wash myself..."
The voices faded into the distance, and soon the sounds of the father and son playing could be heard from the bathroom.
Dong Yuanxiang smiled silently, casually placed the business card on the coffee table, and got up to brew some calming tea.
Soon, Lou Yuqi, who had been making a ruckus all day, was coaxed to sleep. Lou Haoyu then gently patted his shoulder as he walked out of his room, smiling helplessly and indulgently: "This brat, he really knows how to cause trouble."
"Did you get him to sleep?" Dong Yuanxiang handed her husband a cup of calming tea, smiled slightly apologetically, and said, "It's because we haven't been back for so long, he was happy to see us."
"But once this project is finished, I'll be able to take a short vacation."
As Dong Yuanxiang spoke, she seemed to remember something and asked curiously, "By the way, honey, why did you go on this business trip for so long? It's been a month."
A hint of guilt flashed across Lou Haoyu's eyes. He used the act of drinking tea to cover his eyes and sighed, "Don't even mention it. It's all because we have a new manager at our company who doesn't do anything but always makes me do the work."
“But this project is now complete, so I can take two days off and stay home with you and Yuqi.”
"By the way, don't you like dolls? I happened to be on a business trip to R country this time, and I bought a famous doll from there to give to you."
Lou Haoyu put down his teacup, ran to the door, brought in the bag, swept the things on the coffee table, and pulled out an exquisite gift box, placing it on top: "Here, open it and see if you like it?"
A look of joy appeared on Dong Yuanxiang's face as she sat down at the coffee table and carefully opened the gift box.
When Dong Yuanxiang saw the doll inside the gift box, she was surprised: "Huh? This doll is the same as the one I bought for Yuqi!"
The only difference is that the R-country clothing worn by this doll is more exquisite and refined, and its facial features are more expressive.
At first glance, it looks as if the doll is smiling at her.
Dong Yuanxiang seemed to remember something and turned to look at Lou Haoyu: "Was the doll shop you bought your dolls from recommended to you by Jingjing?"
Lou Haoyu looked surprised: "How did you know?"
Dong Yuanxiang chuckled: "Have you forgotten? Jingjing and I are doll makers. We're the first to snap up any famous dolls."
“However, Jingjing has been in the doll circle longer than me, so she is more informed about these things. When these dolls became popular, she recommended them to me.”
"She also said that this is a very famous wishing doll in R country, and that as long as you make a wish to her, she can help you make any wish come true. But I think this is just a publicity stunt by the doll shop!"
Because of this gimmick, these dolls are extremely expensive, starting at 100,000 yuan each.
That's why she let Lou Yuqi take it and give it to the boss he mentioned.
After all, the people who attend that kindergarten are all rich and powerful, and they want to play with their little devils, so the gifts they give have to be generous.
Lou Haoyu's smile was somewhat unnatural: "Is that so? Then do you like it?"
"I really like it, thank you, honey." Dong Yuanxiang leaned closer to Lou Haoyu, kissed his cheek, hummed a happy song, and carefully put the doll into her special dollhouse.
As soon as she opened the door to the dollhouse, for some reason, Dong Yuanxiang felt that something was secretly watching her.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly turned on the light. The dollhouse was still as clean as when she was away on her business trip, and the dolls were still quietly on the shelves.
Dong Yuanxiang chuckled and muttered under her breath, "She's probably just hallucinating because she's been working too hard lately..."
"Good boy, good boy, Mommy will come to see you again tomorrow!" Dong Yuanxiang gently patted the dolls' heads, and then touched each of the dolls she had collected since she was young before leaving the room with satisfaction.
The doll she had placed on the shelf, its neck stiff, slowly turned its head, its dark eyes staring intently at her retreating figure: "Mom... Mom..."
Dong Yuanxiang stopped in her tracks instantly.
