"No."

She shook her head and placed Jiang Yanxu's hand on her face, feeling the calluses on his palm. "I was just thinking, you gave me such a big gift, what should I give in return?"

"How about a title?"

"That's fine. My second sister and her family are coming over in a couple of days. While the whole family is together, I'll introduce you to them so you don't have to make multiple trips."

"Are you serious?" Jiang Yanxu's hands froze.

"Why would I lie to you?"

He seemed startled, jumping up and pacing around the room, completely mired in anxiety. "This is too sudden. I'm not prepared. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Maybe you could have let me meet them in batches? Don't you think it's a bit too much for me to face so many people at once..."

"Don't worry, they will be satisfied as long as you go."

"But I'm afraid they'll dislike me because I'm a Taoist priest. I haven't prepared any gifts. What does your family like?"

He Ruixue secretly laughed at his restless look and pulled his arm, "Come on, I'll go buy it with you."

Jiang Yanxu immediately took the money and followed. The two of them went to two department stores before they bought all the gifts for the new son-in-law.

He still felt it wasn't enough and wanted to add some dried pheasant and rabbit. "How about I go to the back mountain and hunt a musk deer and bring it over?"

"No, don't be too nervous. If I don't like someone, they won't agree even if you move a mountain of gold to them. But as long as I like you, they will accept you even if you are wearing tattered clothes and have no job."

Her family's infinite tolerance of her gave her enough confidence. It didn't matter what the man's family background, work, or character was. What her parents cared about was whether their daughter liked him or not, nothing more.

After becoming an official couple, the way they get along is not much different from before. They just lean on each other while reading and can feel each other's body temperature.

He Ruixue didn't even need to turn around. She just had to pinch his arm and there would be tea and fruit at the right temperature at hand.

There is agarwood burning in the incense burner, mixed with a relatively overbearing fragrance, like the fragrance of fruit and honey. The fragrance is very pure and cannot be covered by the agarwood.

She leaned her face against Jiang Yanxu's back and yawned, "What kind of fragrance is this?"

"Jiangzhen, also known as chicken bone incense."

Jiangzhen, the most popular of all incenses in Taoism, is meant to attract gods from heaven. It is the purest and most genuine incense, and it is said that "the smoke rising straight up can attract cranes to descend."

Because the fragrance is so strong, in addition to adding a little to agarwood, fresh flowers are added and steamed together as the main incense. After burning, it can eliminate disasters and drive away evil spirits and avoid filth.

For those who practice Taoism, it has the function of inviting spirits from heaven to gather and accumulating merits through cultivation.

Of course, these are all exaggerations. Jiang Yanxu said that they only took it out to burn because it smelled good and there were plenty of it in the Taoist temple.

She knew this so well because in her previous life, a client of hers wore a bracelet made of agarwood. Her colleague didn't understand much about it, so in order to please him, she praised the agarwood bracelet for its good smell, which ended up making a fool of herself.

The client felt that they were not professional enough and the originally planned cooperation changed again. She was purely implicated and was criticized by several leaders in emails. Later, she crammed herself with knowledge of various spices, wines, luxury goods, etc. to ensure that she could cover up in time even if her colleagues made mistakes.

"Do you like the taste? I'll make some for you?"

"No, I don't even have an incense burner at home, so I don't need these things. If my colleagues smell the fragrance on me, I don't know how to deal with it."

Now that she has entered the system, she needs to be extra careful in certain aspects. The higher she climbs, the more people she blocks her way, and there will be many people who want to pull her down.

Jiang Yanxu stopped talking about it after hearing this. It was not until the sunset that He Ruixue realized how quickly time had passed. She stood up and walked out, "I'm going back first."

"Stay here." Jiang Yanxu held her waist. "You can go to work tomorrow."

"No, my niece and her family often come to look for me." If they found out that I was not home, the whole He family would be in an uproar and they would probably come out to look for me overnight.

"Then I'll pack my clothes and go accompany you?"

He Ruixue looked at him with a half-smile, "So you want to meet them in advance?"

"Forget it, I'll go see you off."

…

The dawn light broke through the window and roosters crowed. He Ruixue yawned, packed up briefly and went out. She did the more trivial work at hand like a wandering soul. It was not until around ten o'clock that she felt refreshed and started to deal with relatively important matters.

Around noon, Xia Lingqing came to her mysteriously and told her a big news: "The secretary's daughter is divorced."

As soon as she arrived, she started eating a big melon. He Ruixue closed the office door, flipped through the melon seeds given by the salesperson, and handed her a handful. "Tell me in detail."

Xia Lingqing didn't keep her in suspense and told her what happened when she was working overtime yesterday.

The secretary had a son and a daughter. The eldest son grew up with his grandfather in Beijing, and the two rarely saw each other. He only had one daughter, so of course he was reluctant to let her get married, and only took in a son-in-law when she was 23 years old.

"I heard that the man and the secretary's daughter were college classmates and married after graduation. To avoid suspicion, the secretary arranged for him to work at the Fourth Department Store. Less than a year after their marriage, he became the team leader of the merchandise department, managing a floor of salespeople."

The secretary's daughter, Han Fuqing, was very perceptive and noticed that he was acting suspiciously. She asked someone to follow him several times and finally found out that he was raising a child outside.

The man thought he had kept it a secret and used his brother's identity to buy the house. After being discovered, he could easily use relationships such as "sister" or "sister-in-law" to deceive people.

Han Fuqing kept her composure and didn't reveal a word. But yesterday, on a sunny afternoon, she took her parents, her boyfriend's parents, a few colleagues from her unit, and a few colleagues from her boyfriend's unit who were on good terms with him, and they all agreed to go together to catch the adulterer.
