"Oh……"
Minglu smiled.
She said indifferently, "When have capitalists ever provided services to someone for free without asking for anything in return?"
“You can also give me something in return.” Nie Yuchen turned to look at Mingluo.
His dark eyes were serious, carrying an ambiguous emotion.
"To be honest, over the years, no woman has ever come into my life that has interested me. I don't really know how to get along with women. If you can teach me something while we're together, I would be very happy. After all, I can't stay single forever."
"..." Minglu frowned and thought carefully. Overall, this plan was more beneficial to her than harmful, and could even be said to be completely advantageous, with no drawbacks at all.
But Nie Yuchen did this without any reason.
She remembered very clearly that Nie Yuchen initially disliked her, or rather, disliked the original owner of the body.
Later, things gradually changed little by little, and it's hard to say whether this was due to the influence of the peach blossom mark.
Driven by immense self-confidence, he believed he could overcome the deadly allure of a divine artifact. In reality, he may have no idea what he was facing.
It would be laughable if she took a mortal's intuition seriously.
She understood, and simply said indifferently, "Drive!"
"..." Nie Yuchen remained silent for a long time before obediently driving towards the new house.
We've arrived at our destination.
Nie Yuchen took out the key and handed it to Mingluo, then accompanied her for a walk around.
This is a detached villa with a small yard. The lawn is well-maintained, and there is an outdoor relaxation area where you can sit, sunbathe, read, and drink coffee.
The interior decoration is also understated and exquisite. It doesn't look amazing at first glance, but it's incredibly comfortable and has a pleasant and reassuring atmosphere.
Minglu looked around but couldn't see that the house lacked Yin in its Five Elements theory, so she guessed that Nie Yuchen had probably fooled Nie Heng, and Nie Heng... believed it...
A naive child with a shrewd uncle is unlikely to have a good life in the future.
She pointed to several places and said, "I can set up a simple formation here that will nourish the people living in the house."
Nie Yuchen nodded, feeling inexplicably reluctant to give the house to Nie Heng. He should have just given Nie Heng some money to get rid of him.
He lost out!
He said, "Whenever you move in, I'll help you with your things, or you don't have to. Everything here can be replaced with new stuff."
Mingluo gave him a deep look and said calmly, "I will make my own decisions about my affairs. There is no need to trouble Mr. Nie."
"..."
Nie Yuchen was speechless.
He knew he had gone too far.
His suggestion may have significantly diminished Mingluo's trust in him.
He should be more composed.
Like a seasoned hunter, he concealed his ambition and aggression, revealing a harmless and reliable smile.
"I'm sorry, I talked too much. If you need any help, please let me know."
"Okay, I understand." Minglu looked around the house, remembering that she still had a fox pelt to collect and hadn't dealt with Ming Jiaojiao's matter.
She probably won't be able to move for another three days.
After looking at the house for a while, Mingluo got the keys, declined Nie Yuchen's offer to give her a ride, and took a taxi back to school.
Nie Yuchen watched her car drive away, feeling a strange sense of loss and melancholy.
But deep down, he still didn't think it was the influence of the peach blossom mark.
He called Ning Qi.
Ning Qi sounded as if she had been waiting for his call for a long time, her tone carrying a sense of 'finally, I've been waiting for this'. "President Nie, you and Miss Ming have broken up? Is there anything you need to say?"
"..." Nie Yuchen frowned slightly and said solemnly, "Investigate her case thoroughly. It doesn't matter if company matters are delayed for a while."
Ning Qi was stunned.
"No way, you've gotten involved so quickly? You've only met a few times and you're already at this point?"
Nie Yuchen remained silent for a moment, neither answering nor denying Ning Qi's words.
He then added a statement that completely shattered Ning Qi's worldview.
"Let me know before you meet her in the future, and I'll go with you."
"Nie Yuchen, you're finished!" Ning Qi roared.
Nie Yuchen hung up the phone.
He didn't feel like he was doomed; on the contrary, he felt that he had finally found something interesting to do, and he was filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.
...
Mingluo returned to school.
Ming Jiaojiao was complaining in her dormitory again, looking aggrieved.
Three girls were comforting her.
"Jiaojiao, did those girls really say they couldn't speak?"
"This shouldn't be happening. Didn't the doctor say there was nothing wrong?"
“Yes!” Ming Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, her heart filled with displeasure. “Last night, Jingyan and I spent the whole night with them, doing all sorts of tests, but we couldn’t find the cause. The doctor said they were fine, but they insisted they couldn’t speak. I wonder if it’s related to that million that Jingyan mentioned.”
"Huh? One million? What one million?" everyone asked hurriedly.
Ming Jiaojiao covered her mouth as if she had said something wrong, which made the others even more curious, and they kept urging her on.
Ming Jiaojiao could only whisper helplessly, "It's all Jing Yan's fault. Yesterday he insisted on saying he'd give me a million if something happened... and sure enough, something did happen. Sigh..."
"Wow, do you think they might be faking illness because they're after that million?"
"If that's the case, isn't that too despicable?"
