made it into powder, and mixed it with various herbs. I tried my best to recreate the scent on Uncle. He should be able to accept this smell, right"How much care did he put into this little thing.For...According to Yu Rong, they couldn't have possibly met, but Mu Xing firmly believed her feelings wouldn't lead her astray. Knowing asking Yu Rong wouldn't yield any answers, she could only shake her head. "No," she said.
Yu Rong smiled and looked at her, naturally shifting the topic: "Miss Mu Xing, I'm doing some research on blood recently, and I need blood from people of different age groups. According to my information, you are eighteen years old, which is exactly the age group I lack. I wonder if Miss Mu Xing would be willing to help."
"Sure."
That sense of familiarity took hold, and Mu Xing readily agreed.
Yu Rong came over with a blood collection tube and skillfully drew a sample of blood. She carefully placed a medical cotton pad on the needle prick on her arm, "Thank you, Miss Mu Xing."
Mu Xing gave her a bright smile, "You're welcome, Dr. Yu, you're busy, I'll go."
Yu Rong sent Mu Xing out of the lab. With her hands in the pockets of her white coat, she watched as Mu Xing's figure gradually disappeared, a smile deepening on her face. "Silly girl..."
- The grand opening ceremony of the new Shen Group headquarters building began in the morning.
At the celebration site, imperial capital's wealthy families, and stars from all walks of life gathered.
Numerous red-carpet female stars, dressed to the nines, appeared for photos, vying for attention.
Two helicopters hovered in the sky, and a television anchor delivered a live report facing the camera.
Lan Xuan was dressed in a silver galaxy dress, gracefully seated in the front row of the viewing stand. Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, but even as the ceremony began, she still hadn't seen that tall and noble figure.
Shen Yi is his best brother, he couldn't possibly not come.
When the ceremony reached the inauguration, the person she had been eagerly awaiting finally appeared on the stage.
The man was dressed in a meticulously crafted dark suit, his figure tall and straight. His face was cold and sharply defined with sword-like eyebrows like ink, and a pair of pitch-black eyes that were deep and unfathomable, unable to discern any emotion within them. His high nose bridge and thin lips radiated an air of nobility throughout his entire being.
exceptionally handsome, with an alluringly cold and aloof demeanor.
The moment he appeared, an aura of unrivaled dominance swept across the entire venue, instantly relegating today's supposed protagonist, Shen Yisheng, to the background.
The socialites and actresses seated in the stands all gazed at him with infatuation, even though they knew he was cold and ruthless. Their hearts beat faster nonetheless.
There's no way, his stunning looks are irresistible, coupled with his lofty status and immeasurable wealth. Such a man who is perfect to the extreme, let alone marrying him, even a night of spring would be a great blessing for them.
Lan Xuan clearly felt the intense gaze around her. She looked at the cold man on the podium, thinking of the privileges he had given her, and a sense of superiority filled her heart.
Regardless of the reason, she was different to him, in the end.
Fu Lingxiao didn't stay long. After attending the opening ceremony and unveiling ceremony, he returned to the company. In fact, he wanted to bring something small with him this morning, but he was worried that it would be too boring and she wouldn't like it. He had a lot of work today and couldn't keep her company all the time, so he came alone this morning. He would bring the little thing to the evening banquet.
There will be food and drinks at the banquet, she's sure to like it.
After the ceremony, guests were invited inside the building for a tour. Lan Xuan, however, couldn't wait and rushed off to find Fu Lingxiao.
For precaution, she hadn't sent anyone to keep an eye on him and Mu Xing these past few days. She didn't know how badly their relationship had deteriorated, but one thing was for sure, A Xiao's mood wouldn't be good. She needed to seize the opportunity to comfort him. With so many women vying for his attention at the scene, she couldn't let other women get ahead of her.
Shen Yi had just received a batch of guests and was standing aside drinking. Lan Xuan happened to find this place. Seeing Shen Yi, she immediately asked, "Shen Yi, have you seen A Xiao"
Shen Yi held the wine glass and looked at her, a mocking smile curling his lips. His beautiful peach blossom eyes, however, were cold and distant: "What are you doing looking for Lao Fu He doesn't want to see you."
What was said was blunt and hurtful.
Back then, he saw how this woman tormented his brother. He watched all of it unfold and, taking advantage of the debt his brother owed her, did countless reckless things. To prove that his brother loved her, she even ran into the middle of the road, almost getting his brother hit and crippled trying to save her.
Even thinking about these things now, he still had the urge to slap her hard.
He didn't send her an invitation to the opening ceremony either, and he had no idea how she got in. If he hadn't been a gentleman, he would have had her escorted out long ago.
Lan Xuan didn't expect Shen Yi to be so merciless. She was so angry she wanted to curse, but after all, he was Fu Lingxiao's good brother, and she couldn't offend him. With her delicately made-up face, she maintained an elegant smile: "I'm sorry for the interruption."
Having said that, she turned and walked to a corner, took out her phone from her bag, and called Fu Lingxiao.
Halfway through the ringing, the phone was picked up, "What's up"
Lan Xuan said softly, "I was at the ceremony just now and saw you. How come I can't find you now"
The man's voice was as always indifferent: "Is there something"
"These guests, I don't know any of them. It's a bit awkward, so I wanted to stay with you," Lan Xuan said in a slightly embarrassed tone.
"It's awkward, just go home. I'm busy, that's it."
Before she could say another word, the man hung up the phone.
Lan Xuan listened to the unanswered calls on her phone, frustration and anger flashing in her eyes. She had gone through so much trouble to get an invitation from someone else, just to get closer to him, but he didn't even bother to respond!
But she quickly adjusted her mindset because when she called him just now, it was very quiet on his end, and there were sounds of flipping papers, which meant he was probably back at the company. That was a good thing, at least other women didn't have a chance to get close to him.
Now that Fu Lingxiao wasn't here, Lan Xuan felt there was no point in staying. She left too, heading back to prepare for the evening banquet which he would definitely attend.
-It was late afternoon.
Fu Lingxiao received a call from Yun City.
"Master Fu, Lu Yuan has disappeared. We asked people nearby, and they said he was last seen a week ago. We've searched the entire Suyang County, but we haven't found him. We also didn't find any records of him using his ID to take any public transportation. It's possible that he left by private vehicle, but the surveillance here isn't complete, so there are no leads we can pursue."
To disappear at this time would be too much of a coincidence.
Fu Lingxiao's eyes were cold, "Was it just Lu Yuan in Suiyuan County, or his whole family"
The subordinate replied, “No one has mentioned him having family. When I searched his home, I only saw the personal belongings of one person; it appears he lived alone.”
Fu Lingxiao frowned. He had read Lu Yuan's file, although there was no record of when he left, it could be confirmed that before he left the imperial capital, he had a wife and daughter.
It seems I need to look into this Lu Yuan again.
After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Have you checked on He Chao's movements in Yuncheng"the elder brother has murderous intentions toward him. He can't act rashly anymore; he has to patiently wait for a perfect opportunity!- Fu Lingxiao slept very soundly, so soundly that he lost all con...
