"Xiao Chu," Qi Tingsong looked at Shi Xi, "Have you heard of the Ruan family?"
By this time, the two of them had already left the manor and boarded a plane.
The Ruan family?
There are many feng shui masters in the world, but if we're talking about the one Qi Tingsong mentioned, then it's probably only the most mysterious Ruan family from the south.
Legend has it that a hundred years ago, Ruan Jingshan, a genius from the Ruan family, was just a boy when he went on a boat trip. Unexpectedly, he encountered a dragon that was causing trouble.
A ghost card slays an evil dragon, and from then on, the world of metaphysics learned that the reclusive Ruan family still existed.
The Ruan family's signature feature is a mole on their right wrist.
Shi Xi pondered for a moment, then asked directly, "You suspect it's someone from the Ruan family?"
He remembered that Qiu's parents had mentioned that the Taoist priest had a mole on his right wrist.
"Hmm." Qi Tingsong poured a glass of water for Shi Xi. "It's just a guess."
The events of that night were too strange. Since then, he had begun to think that it was less a coincidence and more a form of revenge.
He retaliated by breaking the Yin Gathering Formation...
Qi Tingsong naturally took Shi Xi's cup and placed it on the small table.
His gaze lingered on Shi Xi's rosy lips for two seconds, and the words Hu Mo had spoken to him after Shi Xi left that day flashed through his mind—
"This is the formation method of the Peach Blossom Curse."
"I'll give it to you since we're in the same boat."
"Those afflicted by evil spirits can develop deep feelings for the one who casts the evil spell..."
Hu Mo said that Qiu Cijing was just playing around with him and didn't actually love him, but when he appeared, Qiu Cijing rushed to him almost instantly.
Qi Tingsong couldn't help but become suspicious.
Is the Peach Blossom Curse really that effective? Or is it because Qiu Cijing herself has some feelings for Hu Mo that it's so effective?
Shi Xi never expected that an ordinary assessment would involve so much, even though the Ruan family was just a background character in the story.
...
Three hours later, the plane finally landed and arrived at a jade shop with a Han-style building.
Qi Tingsong simply said "Qi" and was ushered to the third floor, a place reserved for VIPs.
Shi Xi sat in front of the carved window, looking down at the blue bricks, black tiles, white walls and stone-paved roads outside.
"Mr. Qi, here is the jade you requested."
A man dressed in a bamboo-green long robe with an antique charm walked up to Qi Tingsong, holding a piece of red jade in his hand.
Then he reported a number.
"How much?!" Shi Xi doubted her ears.
The man repeated it again with a smile on his face.
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair and looked at Qi Tingsong, "I'll just pawn my jade for you."
Qi Tingsong looked at Shi Xi, his eyes revealing no emotion. "Are you serious?"
"Do you know what I need this jade for?" Qi Tingsong's eyes were dark, his deep gaze fixed on him, and he said in a deep voice:
"Dang Yu is going to sleep with me."
"..." Shi Xi fell silent.
It seems that Qi Tingsong is not only immune to his witty remarks, but also puts them to good use.
Before Shi Xi could react, she saw Qi Tingsong pick up his phone.
"What are you doing?" Shi Xi asked instinctively.
"Transfer the money," Qi Tingsong said. "Take the jade home."
Shi Xi thought he was referring to the jade in the man's hand until a payment notification popped up on her phone screen.
“???” Shi Xi looked at Qi Tingsong.
“You said it yourself,” Qi Tingsong said.
Shi Xi looked at Qi Tingsong suspiciously, "Are you serious?"
This scene wasn't in the original storyline. He just casually said, according to his character, "Shouldn't Qi Tingsong refuse according to the old rules?"
But why does he seem so serious?!
Qi Tingsong also fell silent.
He stared intently at Shi Xi, only managing to conceal the emotions in his eyes when Shi Xi spoke again.
"So you're saying you're accepting my advances and want to give it a try with me?"
Shi Xi still maintained her charming and romantic demeanor, and said to Qi Tingsong, "That's wonderful."
Fake.
It's not good at all.
Qi Tingsong looked at Shi Xi. Compared to her previous nonchalance, Shi Xi was more serious this time, but it was still far from enough...
He didn't want it to only have a three-week shelf life.
Only he can be by Shi Xi's side.
"No," Qi Tingsong said, looking away. "Just kidding."
"..." You rich people have a rather unique way of joking.
