Chapter 71

"Impossible...this document is definitely fake." Luo Kun shook his head in denial, then looked at Luo Yan, threw the document at him, and demanded, "What have you done, you unfilial son?"

Luo Yan bent down and picked up the document, looking incredulous: "This is the contract I signed with Ying Hong, how did it end up in Luo Hengzhi's hands!"

“Father, this is only part of the contract. Yinghong helped me connect with Bolin, but what I promised Yinghong was only Luo Hengzhi’s mother’s 25% stake. The largest shareholder is still you with 40%, which no one can touch. So don’t listen to Luo Hengzhi’s nonsense.”

"Ying Hong's documents are all in Luo Hengzhi's hands, and you still can't see them clearly!" Luo Yan was utterly disappointed when he saw Luo Yan making excuses, and angrily pounded his fist on the stretcher beneath him.

Luo Hengzhi smiled and said, "Old ginger is spicier, and Luo Kun is the one who can see the situation clearly. Otherwise, Ying Hong would not have deliberately avoided you and suggested that Luo Yan sign the contract."

"You... you started making moves right after Bolin!" Luo Kun could no longer remain calm and pointed at Luo Hengzhi in a panic.

Luo Hengzhi scoffed: "If Ying Hong hadn't taken the initiative to concede, do you really think that Bolin, who never gets up early for nothing, would have given up his mouth to meat just because he admires your son!"

"Luoqin, I just praised you, and you're being naive again!"

"Even after so many years of struggling in the business world, you still can't shake your old habit of being unrealistic and self-righteous. You always forget that the essence of a businessman is greed, profit-seeking, and ruthlessness."

"Luo Hengzhi!" After so many years, hearing these words again brought back memories of the day when Luo Hengzhi berated him harshly. Luo Hengzhi had once said the exact same things to him!

Luo Hengzhi lowered her eyelids slightly, her gaze sweeping over Luo Kun: "I won't say much. You should have guessed that the remaining scattered shares are now all in my hands. Your 40% will soon be diluted. The Luo family... no... Ying Hong will indeed prosper in the future, but all of this has nothing to do with you, Luo Kun!"

Luo Yan finally understood what was going on and collapsed to the ground!

"Impossible! You've been in the old house the whole time, right under my nose! How did you do it?! You couldn't have done it!" Luo Kun's eyes reddened, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe he had lost like this!

"Because I am Luo Hengzhi, what you, Luo Kun, cannot do or even imagine, is as easy as turning your hand to me, Luo Hengzhi!"

Luo Hengzhi's gaze was nonchalant, her tone casual: "Not just Ying Hong, but also Hengduo Technology, Minglan Jewelry, Hengzhi International..."

Every time Luo Hengzhi mentioned a name, Luo Quin felt a jolt in his heart. These industry upstarts had risen rapidly during the years when Luo Hengzhi was called a good-for-nothing!

At the time, everyone said, "The fall of business genius Luo Hengzhi can be described as a whale falling and all things being born!"

Therefore, everyone's attention is focused on these rising stars in the industry, and various speculations and investigations are made to find out who their bosses are!

People say that these bosses don't show their faces because they learned from Luo Hengzhi's lesson, keeping a low profile and not wanting to attract attention.

Who would have thought that the mastermind behind all these companies is the same person, the one they mock, scorn, and belittle: Luo Hengzhi!

Luo Qun lay back on the stretcher, bursting into wild laughter, tears streaming down his face. He had lost; he had ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.

Luoqin opened his mouth to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but found that he could not move his upper and lower jaws at all!

"I told you, you can't die!"

Luo Hengzhi made a hand seal, and a cluster of spiritual light flew into Luo Kun's brow. "Once you have the thought of dying, this thought will take control of your body. So, give up and live in this painful way!"

"Ahhh... Luo Hengzhi, I'm going to kill you! Why didn't I kill you sooner?" Luo Kun broke down, screaming, "Why won't you let me die? Let me die!"

Luo Hengzhi ignored her and turned to look in the direction of Lingju Temple before disappearing from the spot and returning to Ye Zi's side.

Ye Zi released Xiao Mo, who, along with the puppet, cleared land in the back mountain and planted the seeds of the spiritual herbs and fruits obtained from the secret realm.

"You're back." Ye Zi looked up and saw Luo Hengzhi returning.

"Hmm." Luo Hengzhi nodded, then summoned another puppet to take the seed from Ye Zi's hand.

Luo Hengzhi took Ye Zi's hand and held it in her palm: "Let's go, let them do these things."

"Where are you going?" Ye Zi asked.

Luo Hengzhi wrapped her arm around Ye Zi's waist, and with Ye Zi in her arms, they stepped into the air and flew towards the city. Luo Hengzhi's voice rang in Ye Zi's ear: "Let's go home!"

When Luo Hengzhi said this, her voice was deep and pleasant, with a slight rise at the end, which was inexplicably tender.

Ye Zi's heart skipped a beat. Home, Luo Hengzhi was going to take her home.

Looking in the direction of Luo Heng's house, Ye Zi patted her chest excitedly to calm herself down.

Luo Hengzhi smiled as he watched Ye Zi's slightly nervous movements.

They arrived at Tianlong Garden very quickly.

Luo Hengzhi did not fly directly into the courtyard with Ye Zi, but entered through the main gate of the community. The two held hands like an ordinary young couple returning home.

Upon arriving at the front door, Luo Hengzhi unlocked it with her fingerprint. After entering, she naturally wrapped her arms around Ye Zi from behind and took Ye Zi's finger to register her fingerprint.

Ye Zi cooperated by placing her hand in Luo Hengzhi's hand, watching Luo Hengzhi press her hand repeatedly until she heard the fingerprint registration successful.

"Let's go home." Luo Hengzhi led Ye Zi through the courtyard.

When the two entered the house, Ye Zi saw a large, bright living room with a photo of the two embracing intimately.

Ye Zi, dressed in a red dress, was stunningly beautiful, while Luo Hengzhi, dressed in a suit, was handsome and dashing. His arm was around Ye Zi's waist, and the two were very close.

After taking photos at Minglan Jewelry that day, the group left, and Ye Zi, busy with her journey, forgot all about it.

I never heard Luo Hengzhi mention the photos again, so I couldn't remember them at all. I never expected that they would all be here.

"This way." Luo Hengzhi led Ye Zi to the media room, where one wall was made into a photo wall, with photos of the two of them arranged in a staggered manner.

Ye Zi walked over and looked at herself and Luo Hengzhi in the photo. It turned out that the two of them had been standing so close back then.

She remembers the photographer saying repeatedly, "Great, closer, even closer, great, really great."

Ye Zi's eyes crinkled as she watched, and Luo Hengzhi wrapped her arms around her from behind, holding her close as they watched together.

"What are you laughing at?"

Ye Zi leaned against Luo Hengzhi's broad and warm chest, and could hear Luo Hengzhi's strong and powerful heartbeat.

He said, "Looking at you, you're not as good-looking in photos as you are in person."

"How good-looking is she in person?" Luo Hengzhi lowered her head and rubbed her head against Ye Zi's neck. Her voice was very low and soft, lazy and extremely gentle.

Ye Zi felt a little ticklish from Luo Hengzhi's rubbing against her, chuckled, turned her head and pressed her face against Luo Hengzhi's, mimicking Luo Hengzhi's rubbing against her. Luo Hengzhi's face was slightly cool.

Luo Hengzhi smiled as Ye Zi rubbed against her like a kitten.

"We didn't get to see a movie on our last date, how about we watch one at home tonight?"

Ye Zi turned to look at Luo Hengzhi and asked, "Aren't we going back tonight?"

"This is our home. Where else would you like to go, little Yezi?" Luo Hengzhi asked, placing a kiss on Ye Zi's ear.

Ye Zi felt a fleeting warmth on her ear, and her body suddenly stiffened.

Did Luo Hengzhi just kiss me? He kissed my ear, didn't he?

Upon hearing Ye Zi's inner thoughts, Luo Hengzhi couldn't help but burst out laughing, breaking her composure: "Yes, we kissed. Can't we kiss?"

"Huh?" Ye Zi turned around in shock. "You can hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear you." Luo Hengzhi smiled and tapped Ye Zi's nose.

Ye Zi touched her nose and asked, "Can you hear it the whole time?"

“Yes, I can hear it all along,” Luo Hengzhi said, “from the very first day you… fell for my face.”

"Ah!" Ye Zi thought about how Luo Hengzhi could hear her sometimes chaotic thoughts.

Ye Zi covered her face, not wanting to see anyone.

Luo Hengzhi held Ye Zi in his arms, affectionately ruffling her hair, and changed the subject, saying:

"There's a gym and a study upstairs. Shall we go and get to know our home together, and then cook together?"

"Okay." Ye Zi rested her head against Luo Hengzhi's chest and nodded.

"Let's go." Luo Hengzhi led Ye Zi around the house, and then they went to the kitchen together.

Luo Hengzhi opened the refrigerator: "Take out whatever you want to eat, I'll make it."

"How about a candlelight dinner?" It would be so romantic to dine with Luo Hengzhi while the candles are lit.

Luo Hengzhi received an unexpected answer; his little Yezi loved romance: "Of course, a candlelight dinner would be perfect."

Luo Hengzhi took out two steaks from the refrigerator, cooked pasta, and stir-fried a few home-style dishes.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Zi didn't offer much help; she simply watched as Luo Hengzhi skillfully tossed the food in the wok and arranged the plates.

"Why do you know these things?" Ye Zi asked.

“To de-stress,” Luo Hengzhi said. “Sometimes when I can’t figure out a problem, I like to think about something to eat while cooking. This process makes me very relaxed.”

Ye Zi: "Is there anything you can't do?"

Luo Hengzhi suddenly thought of dual cultivation. Yes, he didn't know how to do dual cultivation yet. He would have to study it carefully when he returned to the Scripture Pavilion tomorrow.

After preparing the food, Luo Heng waved her hand, and the plates filled with food automatically flew to the dining room one by one.

Then all the lights were turned off, and the restaurant became pitch black. Candles lit up automatically, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere throughout the room.

Luo Hengzhi took Ye Zi's hand and led her to sit down by the floor-to-ceiling window in the restaurant.

Ye Zi looked at Luo Hengzhi across from her through the candlelight. Luo Hengzhi was about to sit down, but then stood up and sat down next to Ye Zi.

I don't want to be too far away from you.

Perhaps it was because the candlelight was too warm and ambiguous, but Ye Zi felt that Luo Hengzhi's eyes were particularly gentle today. They seemed to hold countless stars, sparkling and captivating, making one unable to resist being immersed in them.

Luo Hengzhi poured the decanted red wine into a glass and handed it to Ye Zi, saying, "You have a low alcohol tolerance, so just have a taste and don't overindulge."

Ye Zi recalled the last time she drank it all in one gulp, nodded, picked up the wine glass and swirled it, the aroma was enticing.

"Wait a moment." Luo Hengzhi picked up her wine glass and took Ye Zi's hand.

"We haven't drunk the nuptial wine yet."

Ye Zi looked at their intertwined wrists, raised her hand to bring the wine glass to her lips, and the two drank this belated toast in the candlelight.

The wine glass was placed on the table, and Luo Hengzhi cut the steak for Ye Zi and placed it in front of her.

Ye Zi didn't move, but turned to look at Luo Hengzhi.

"What's wrong?" Luo Hengzhi turned to look at Ye Zi, noticing her clear eyes but slightly flushed cheeks. He smiled and asked, "Little Ye, can you get drunk from just one sip of red wine?"

"No." Ye Zi shook her head and raised her hand to touch Luo Hengzhi's cheek.

"Luo Hengzhi, may I kiss you?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hengzhi raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, saying, "Okay."

Ye Zi placed a gentle kiss on Luo Hengzhi's lips.

Luo Hengzhi's lips curled up slightly. Just as Ye Zi was about to get up, his strong arms held Ye Zi firmly in his embrace, deepening the kiss!
