“Okay, from now on I’ll call you Ayan.” Jiang Li was attracted by the starlight in Lu Shiyan’s eyes, and responded in a daze. Then she pointed at Lu Jiming and said, “Call him Aming.”
Lu Jiming was suddenly met with another cold stare from his uncle.
He flinched and immediately said, "The name 'Ah Ming' sounds so corny. Little... cough... Jiang Li, just call me Lu Jiming. That's what my family calls me, and I'm more used to it."
“Okay.” Jiang Li readily agreed.
Lu Shiyan was pleased with Lu Jiming's tact and then asked Jiang Li, "May I call you Jiang Jiang?"
"A name is something people call you by. If you like it, that's fine." Jiang Li didn't have any special expression, and she didn't notice Lu Shiyan's subtle thoughts.
Overall, everyone is satisfied with the current outcome.
"Uncle, I have some things to take care of. You can take Jiang Li home first." Lu Jiming tossed the car keys to Lu Shiyan and wisely made his way out.
There aren't many players who can provide such insightful and timely assistance.
Thinking about it, Lu Jiming took out his phone and sent two WeChat messages to Lu Shiyan.
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: I've created an opportunity for you, Uncle, keep it up!
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: Hurry up and take your aunt home!
Lu Jiming, at the bottom of the food chain: Uncle, since I've been so sensible, how about next month's allowance...?
Lu Shiyan glanced at the message notification and smiled with great pleasure.
He didn't reply to Lu Jiming's message, but instead turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.
"Jiang Jiang, what do you usually like to do?" On the way back, Lu Shiyan tried to start a conversation with Jiang Li.
I wanted to find out her preferences.
Jiang Li thought for a moment and casually mentioned a few things, "Reading, writing, drawing talismans... nothing interesting, just something to pass the time."
Drawing symbols...
Lu Shiyan then thought of the talisman that had saved his life.
It seems that metaphysics really exists.
His perspective was too narrow before.
"Your talismans are very powerful. Can I buy a few from you?" Lu Shiyan asked sincerely.
"What kind of talisman do you want to buy?" Jiang Li didn't stand on ceremony and even tried to sell it to her. "Ayan, you're not young anymore, but you don't seem to have any romantic prospects. Why don't you buy a peach blossom talisman? If you're lucky, you might meet your soulmate sooner."
Lu Shiyan felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart again.
His sweetheart was right in front of him, but she recommended that he buy a peach blossom charm instead!
Is there anything worse than this?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Shiyan tentatively asked, "If I'm interested in a girl, but she might not feel the same way about me, and I use a peach blossom charm, will she like me?"
"You have someone you like?" Jiang Li frowned, somewhat puzzled. "But your marriage line hasn't moved yet. If that's the case, either it's a bad match, or the other person doesn't like you."
Lu Shiyan forced a smile and said through gritted teeth, "No, no... I was just giving an example, just out of curiosity."
“Actually, nothing is absolute.” Jiang Li wasn’t stupid, and she naturally saw Lu Shiyan’s depressed look. Her tone softened a bit as she said, “Everyone’s love life is different. Assuming it’s not a bad relationship, just because the person you like now doesn’t like you back doesn’t mean they won’t like you in the future. Maybe if you try, you still have a chance.”
Seeing that Lu Shiyan's expression did not change, Jiang Li continued, "As for the Peach Blossom Talisman, it will help you release more charm and attract the attention of more eligible people, thereby increasing your chances of finding a partner. Of course, the Peach Blossom Talisman is useless for girls who don't like you."
“No need for that, I don’t need this talisman.” Lu Shiyan looked troubled. “I already have a lot of people who like me, I don’t need to attract any more attention.”
Jiang Li: "..."
Although that's a very rude thing to say, it's true.
Lu Shiyan was the kind of person she had ever met, the kind who would walk through a field of flowers without picking a single one.
I wonder what kind of girl a man like him will end up with.
"And you?" Lu Shiyan suddenly asked.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, looking somewhat bewildered. "What?"
"What kind of boy do you like?" Lu Shiyan inquired about Jiang Li's preferences.
If he caters to her preferences, he might be able to win the heart of the beauty sooner.
“I have no interest in worldly love,” Jiang Li replied, “so that’s not in my consideration.”
Lu Shiyan: "..."
What a terrible answer!
He hasn't even gotten his wife yet, and she's already flying away?
"Will the Jiang family approve of your idea?" Lu Shiyan asked again.
"The reason I returned to the Jiang family is because my master said that my worldly ties are not yet severed and that I should not dedicate my life to the Xuanmen." Jiang Li curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "If that's the case, then I will go down the mountain to repay this karma first. After severing this worldly bond, I will go back. So the opinions of the Jiang family are not important. By the time they consider this issue, I will probably have already returned."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
It seems...
Taking things slowly is no longer an option; in fact, he needs to speed things up.
In the current situation, if he relaxes his vigilance even slightly, he will lose his wife and live out his days alone.
Before meeting Jiang Li, Lu Shiyan thought that there was nothing wrong with growing old alone.
But now...
Since it was ordained by fate, he naturally couldn't let it go.
"I see dark circles under your eyes. Are you not sleeping well?" Jiang Li brought the topic back to the present. Nothing else mattered. Let's make money first.
Lu Shiyan nodded. "When I'm sleeping, even the slightest noise can wake me up. I've had a checkup, and there's nothing wrong with me. The doctor said that I'm just too sensitive, so there's no way to treat it."
"I understand. I'll draw you a few sleep-inducing talismans later." Jiang Li indicated that she understood, and then gave Lu Shiyan a price, "Sleep-inducing talismans are a flat price of ten thousand each."
"Okay, ten to start." Lu Shiyan readily agreed, then asked, "What about the amulets? Can I buy a few more?"
“You can buy it,” Jiang Li nodded. “However, you’ve already survived your near-death experience. Judging from your appearance, you won’t experience such a dangerous thing again, so there’s no need for you to buy it.”
“Since it can protect you, it’s always reassuring to wear it,” Lu Shiyan replied. “Besides, I want to buy a talisman for everyone in my family, so I’m asking Jiang Jiang to draw a few more.”
"The sleep-inducing talisman is ten thousand each, while the protective talisman is different; it's one million each," Jiang Li said seriously. "Are you really sure you want it?"
“Hmm.” Lu Shiyan nodded. “My family is large, and roughly speaking, I need twenty sheets.”
Jiang Li: "..."
Twenty sheets, that's twenty million.
Jiang Li gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, but... drawing twenty protective talismans will take a lot of effort. I can only draw one talisman of this power per day, so... pay half the deposit first, and then pay the balance after all the talismans are finished. Don't pay for the sleeping talisman, consider it a gift from me."
Unbeknownst to them, Lu Shiyan had already parked his car near the Jiang family's residence.
Lu Shiyan took out his phone, opened his QR code, and said, "Okay, let's add each other as friends first, and I'll transfer the money to you later."
