Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

Assistant Xu stood to the side, silently watching Xia Wange take out one large and small ornament after another from the box and adorn President Lu.

Mr. Lu, who is usually serious and aloof and never backs down from a fight, actually gave in half-heartedly when the other party insisted on putting something on him!

He also saw that although President Lu looked impatient, he had no intention of kicking the person out. Instead, he watched the other person busy with leisure, and his eyes seemed to be expectant, wondering what Xia Wange would take out of the box.

The most, most, most important thing is!

These things all look real!

He wouldn't even dare to dream of so many fakes, especially one of such high quality.

Sure enough, he was the only real worker in the house; the other two were probably just there to experience life.

Lu Qiu originally wanted to refuse many things, but every time Xia Wange put something on him, he could hear her thoughts intermittently.

Wow, that jade thumb ring really looks good on this kid! So elegant!

[The bracelet I gave you yesterday is still here! What a kind person! I'll see how much good fortune it's absorbed later; I'm going to be rich!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, comparisons are odious. I always thought this stuff made people look darker, but I didn't realize it depends on your face.]

【So beautiful! So beautiful!】

【Not bad, not bad.】

Wow, so handsome!

So, amidst the praise, Lu Qiu gradually lost his way and turned into a Christmas tree, or rather, a display stand.

He even felt that she might know he could hear her thoughts, which was why she made that assessment in her mind. At the same time, he also suspected that the reason he didn't particularly like buying clothes and jewelry might be because the sales assistants were usually hesitant to talk to him when he went shopping.

As time passed, after Lu Qiu rejected a pair of jade earrings, a string of Australian white pearl necklaces, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous jade items, he had a serious discussion with Xia Wange and finally decided that these items could only be worn in the office and that only a few could be carried with him. After that, Xia Wange gave up on messing with Lu Qiu and turned to another direction.

"Mr. Lu, do you see this toad?" Xia Wange took out a nearly transparent jade toad with a color like glass. "This is for you to use as a phone stand."

Lu Qiu: "?"

Have phone stands really developed this well now?

"Mr. Lu, take a look at this toad." Xia Wange took out another bright yellow toad. "This can also be used as a phone stand, one on each side."

Lu Qiu: "..."

Next, Xia Wange took out the last item in the box—a jade carving of the Great Wall, winding and turning. It was quite large and could be placed on the coffee table. When the sunlight shone on it, it was clear and bright.

"This..." Assistant Xu whispered, "It's not a computer stand, is it?"

"No," Xia Wange said with a smile, "It's just an ornament. I only recently acquired it and haven't found a place to bury it yet."

"Bury?" Lu Qiu narrowed his eyes.

"Bai, bai, it means we couldn't find a place to put it," Xia Wange quickly said. "Mai is the local dialect for bai, hehe, hehehehe."

After saying that, Xia Wange quickly waved and left. As she reached the door, she clung to it and reminded her, "Boss, remember to treat it like your own!"

The door closed, and Assistant Xu turned to look at his boss, blinked, and then blinked again.

To be honest, none of the items Xia Wange brought were ordinary, and they all looked extremely good on President Lu, complementing him perfectly.

But even if it looks good, you can't wear so many.

I've already worn five rings on my fingers.

These jade ornaments also clash completely with the original minimalist and light luxury style of the office.

"Assistant Xu, don't you think the decor of my office..." Lu Qiu rubbed his forehead, paused for a moment, and then said, "Someone will be coming in to sign something later, could you stop them?"

"Okay, don't worry, I absolutely won't let anyone in."

Seeing you like this...

Lu Qiu: "..."

He suddenly realized he was bewitched. For a fleeting moment, he actually considered slightly changing the office's decor to match the jade.

Xia Wange slacked off until noon. When she went to lunch with Zhang Yue, she ran into that woman from yesterday, the one from another company who wore a gabardine, at the restaurant entrance. The woman had her arms crossed and was obviously waiting for someone.

When they looked at each other, Xia Wange saw the other person walking towards her. She couldn't help but wonder to herself if she hadn't checked the almanac today, because she kept running into people blocking her way.

Zhang Yue quickly tried to step forward to stop the other person, but Xia Wange raised her hand first and stopped Zhang Yue. She guessed that the other person must have encountered something.

Jiao Xiaolian walked straight up to Xia Wange, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "You told me yesterday not to wear this Galaha, and I asked my boyfriend when I got back. He only said it's a common decoration in their area. I forgot what you said yesterday was called, and I searched for a long time but couldn't find it."

"Kabala," Xia Wange said, "You can check now."

After saying that, she looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Let's eat first."

After the two were seated, Jiao Xiaolian sat down opposite Xia Wange, her face deathly pale. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Is this really... that thing?"

"Hmm." Xia Wange happily ate a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs, then shattered all the other person's illusions, "Kapala, you're probably looking for something made from the skulls of high monks, right? But the Kapala I'm talking about isn't that kind of ritual object, it's just a skull. Your bracelet must have used the skulls of at least twenty people."

Zhang Yue was so startled that she dropped her chopsticks on the plate. She looked at Jiao Xiaolian in shock, then at the sweet and sour pork ribs in her own bowl, unsure whether she should continue eating.

Jiao Xiaolian took the kapala bracelet off with trembling hands. She glanced at it again and asked, still unwilling to give up, "How...how can you be so sure this isn't from the high monk mentioned online...?"

"Haven't we already discovered something unusual?" Xia Wange said, "This thing in your hand was made from a live human skull. It's filled with resentment. Once we've tortured you enough, your skull will become one of those."

"What if he doesn't know either?" Jiao Xiaolian suddenly burst into tears, burying her face in her hands. "I really love him. He's so good to me. No man has ever been this good to me before. He's handsome too. When I get off work, he cooks for me, washes my feet and hair, does my laundry, mops the floor, and washes the dishes. He treats me even better than my parents!"

"Think about it yourself, what makes you think a man treats you like this?" Xia Wange said bluntly. "I don't mean to belittle you, I just want you to think about how things started, why he's so good to you, why a handsome man would be so inexplicably considerate towards you? All kindness in this world comes with a price, and what price have you paid him?"
