However, on this day, Lu Miao felt unexpectedly agitated.
There was not much Starfall Herb left, and in order to ensure that she could refine another pill before breaking the formation, she could only attempt the experiment one more time.
She turned and walked downstairs, took a stroll in the small garden, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and was about to return for the final experiment when she coincidentally saw Shen Muhan sneaking over from the other side. As soon as he saw Lu Miao, his eyes lit up with excitement. “Boss!”
Ever since he found out that Lu Miao had bought this house, Shen Muhan often came here secretly to check if she had been around.
Unexpectedly, he had bumped into her today.
He followed her into the villa, which looked quite different from a normal home. The layout and decoration were both rather peculiar.
Downstairs, there was no kitchen, and besides the bathroom, the entire first floor was opened up, filled with various instruments and material racks.
The second floor was divided into two large rooms.
Shen Muhan toured the downstairs and upstairs, unable to resist touching the device on the wall of the left room on the second floor, and curiously asked, “Boss, what’s this thing?”
Lu Miao raised an eyebrow slightly. “Do you want to know?”
“I do,” Shen Muxuan replied.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Miao had already closed the door and pressed a red switch beside it with a “pop.”
The next moment, Shen Muxuan felt weightless and uncontrollably floated into the air.
“Ah, Boss, Boss, I’m floating…” Shen Muxuan shouted loudly, flailing his arms and legs in mid-air.
It wasn’t until his head bumped against the ceiling that he changed direction and floated to the other side.
After colliding with the surrounding walls a few times, Shen Muhan finally managed to control his direction.
He began to excitedly manipulate his body, imitating the way celestial beings flew in fantasy dramas, changing positions in mid – air.
Looking thrilled, he turned to Lu Miao. “Boss, did you turn your home into a space station?”
“Just a simple anti-gravity device,” Lu Miao explained. Compared to a space station, it was much simpler. Besides, a space station required a lot of considerations like cost, temperature control, and radiation. There wouldn’t be enough space in this small villa for all the necessary equipment.
“What does the black button do?” Shen Muxuan floated towards the door and curiously reached out to touch it.
“Don’t touch it,” Lu Miao raised her hand and swatted his hand away.
In the weightless environment, Shen Muxuan truly experienced what it felt like to be slapped away.
“This is a vacuum device. When pressed, it quickly removes all the oxygen in the room. Within 15 seconds, you’ll lose consciousness completely.”
Feeling a bit horrified, Shen Muhan patted his chest.
After some thought, he curiously asked, “Boss, why can celestial beings live in the sky? Did they use some kind of spatial magic?”
Ever since he found out that Lu Miao could use spells and capture ghosts, he naturally assumed that celestial beings existed in the sky.
Lu Miao’s mind suddenly lit up upon hearing this question, and a daring idea popped into her head.
With a light tap of her toe on the ground, she leaped into the air, grabbed Shen Muhan’s ankle, and pulled him down to the ground, then turned off the anti-gravity device.
Quickly going downstairs, she grabbed a bunch of things and brought them back up, then closed the door behind her.
Shen Muhan stood outside the closed door, blinking his eyes in bewilderment.
At the Gu Corporation building.
After Gu Shiyan finished his meeting in the conference room, the secretary immediately walked over.
“Boss, Miss Fang is here. She’s already waiting for you in the reception room.” Gu Shiyan stood up and walked towards the reception room.
Pushing the door open, Miss Fang stood up with a smile and reached out to Gu
Shiyan.” Hello, Mr Gu. We meet again.’”‘
Gu Shiyan glanced at the hand stretched out in front of him. “I apologize, but
I’m already engaged, so it’s not convenient.”
Thinking about Lu Miao wrinkling her nose and complaining about the unpleasant scent of perfume on him yesterday, he concealed the amusement in his eyes.
Seeing his stern face soften unexpectedly, Fang Wen couldn’t help but feel curious.
There were rumors that Gu Shiyan was already engaged, but neither the Gu family nor Gu Corporation had ever officially announced it.
She was curious about what kind of woman could make the esteemed Mr Gu, who had always been cautious around women, refuse even a handshake.
Smiling, she withdrew her hand and tentatively asked, “It seems Mr Gu really likes her.”
“Yes.” Gu Shiyan admitted it without hesitation. He turned around and sat down on the sofa on the other side.
Fang Wen was momentarily taken aback. She didn’t expect Gu Shiyan to be so straightforward in acknowledging his feelings.
After all, there was a difference between being engaged and not mingling with other women due to personal preference.
Due to work, she had quite a bit of interaction with Gu Shiyan and knew him fairly well.
In the business world, he was decisive and ruthless. During their previous collaborations, she hadn’t even seen a trace of a smile from him.
Besides the women who actively approached him, there were also those who tried various underhanded methods to use women as a means of cooperation or malicious competition.
However, none of them could get close to him.
There were even attempts to send young, handsome men to him.
Although Gu Shiyan didn’t say anything openly, all those who attempted to arrange such liaisons, whether for cooperation or ulterior motives, met with miserable fates.
Afterward, no one dared to entertain such thoughts again.
At one point, she even suspected that Gu Shiyun might have some emotional barrier, preventing him from knowing how to like someone.
Now, it seemed she was wrong.
His affection was so open and bright, but it was simply because none of those people were the one he liked.
She tightly gripped the hand at her side, then turned around with a flawless smile on her face.
“In that case, congratulations to Mr Gu for finding the person you like, and congratulations to Gu Corporation for finding its future mistress.”
“Thank you.” Gu Shiyan nodded slightly, affirming her statement.
Fang Wen lowered her eyes slightly, took out a document from her bag, and handed it to Gu Shiyan.
Smiling, she said, “Mr. He received an urgent call and had to rush back to the capital today. He asked me to apologize on his behalf. This is the contract for the technological cooperation between our parent company in the capital and Gu Corporation. All the terms are according to what Mr. He discussed with you yesterday. Mr Gu, please review it to see if there are any other issues.” Gu Shiyan took it and flipped through it.
“If Mr Gu finds everything in order, just sign at the back. After I return to the capital, I will personally oversee the specific details of our cooperation. If you have any questions or suggestions at that time, feel free to contact me.”
As she spoke, Fang Wen took out a pen from her bag, carefully opened it, and handed it to Gu Shiyan.
Under the ceiling light, the pen, in a deep blue color, shimmered with a radiant glow.
As if it had absorbed the fragrance of her cosmetics in her bag, a faint scent wafted from the pen and entered Gu Shiyan’s nostrils..
