m with her a few days ago..."I stood behind Archie. There was a faint red line near the collar of his shirt, as if a mark had been left there.It is said that to remove the skin completely, it requires...Lin Yanhuan's house was very carefully considered in every detail. The old housekeeper accompanied me as I walked through each room, explaining: "Before our young master moved in, Miss Xu invited Master Qi to look at the feng shui. All the furnishings were also arranged according to Master Qi's guidance and personally decorated by Miss Xu."

I raised an eyebrow slightly. What does this have to do with me

The old butler opened a room door. Inside, the furnishings were luxuriously decorated. He smiled and said, "This is the guest room... Miss Xu always stays in this room whenever she comes. She really likes the decorations here."

I vaguely feel that the old butler is trying to convey something to me.

Then, humbly asked, "Uncle, I've heard of Master Qi's great name, but this Miss Xu is..."

The old butler smiled and replied, "Miss Xu is the daughter of Mr. Xu."

Secretary Xu Even I, a nobody who doesn't care about the news, know that the current provincial party secretary is surnamed Xu.

So she's the daughter of a high-ranking official Since she's called Miss Xu, she's probably not Lin Yanhuan's wife then

"Ms. Xu, what is she to your young master His girlfriend" I asked quietly.

The old butler replied faintly, "Who she is, the young master decides. However, she's a woman who frequently appears by the young master's side and occasionally spends the night here."

My heart races. These high-ranking officials' private lives are really complicated, their relationships are so ambiguous.

If Ms. Xu is Lin Yanhuan's girlfriend, then please have Master Qi come and look at the house. If I point out what's wrong, wouldn't I offend two big figures at once

My face fell instantly, and I put down the compass. Five million dollars was indeed hard to earn.

The old butler saw that I had understood, and smiled: “Miss Mu is indeed a smart woman, no wonder our young master took to you instantly and trusts you so much.”

What does this old man mean He's making it sound like I've been scheming to deceive Lin Yanhuan's trust.

Dealing with these people is really exhausting!

But Lin Yanhuan was still waiting for my conclusion. What if I looked all around and didn't find any problems Then why did he ask me to come If I couldn't say a few words, how would my family be able to get by in the circle

Reluctantly, I still held up the compass and said to the old butler, "Thank you, Uncle, for your guidance. I know what to do now."

The old butler chuckled lightly and nodded: "Miss Mu, our young master trusts you. You should still say what you need to say. I remind you, it's just that I hope you pay attention to the way you speak when you do, try not to..."

It's best not to offend Lin Yanhuan's significant other, right

I rolled my eyes and grabbed the floor plan of the mansion, snapping a photo of it with my phone.

Now there are many easy-to-learn software programs, most of which are scams, but some are quite useful, such as being able to see the Nine Palaces Flying Stars for this year at once.

Looking at the house plan, I had a pretty good idea of what was bothering Lin Yanhuan about her home. In front of the old housekeeper, I didn't want to say anything, so I just put away my compass and went downstairs.

Lin Yanhuan and my brother were chatting in the tea room. When he saw me coming down, he stood up to greet me: “Miss Mu, have you seen everything”

I nodded. "I've seen it all, except your study. The butler showed me around with me and introduced me to some of the house's features."

I gave Lin Yanhuan a look, letting him feel for himself—if he wasn't an idiot, he should be able to hear my displeasure.

As expected, after he asked me to sit down, he immediately sent the old butler away. There were only three of us left in the tea room.

"Miss Mu, please speak directly." Lin Yanhuan's poker face showed no expression.

“I’m not very talkative. If I say anything wrong, please, Mr. Lin, point it out to me—there are two things about this house... Actually, they aren't problems, they would probably be good for other people, but maybe not for you.” I looked into his eyes, trying to gauge his feelings.

"Just speak, no need for formalities."

The old butler said there was a special guest room, and Miss Xu would occasionally spend the night there... I took a look, and the layout of the room was designed to promote romance. The colors were warm, the lighting soft, the bed had headboards, round curtains above the bed, and a round fish tank on the windowsill with two fish stirring the water, as well as a music box that played on a spring... Well, all these things are from—

"Which one" Lin Yanhuan's voice was calm and ruthless.

I'm a little awkward, an 18- or 19-year-old woman talking like this to a man almost thirty... isn't that inappropriate

"Oh, my little Qiao is shy, let me explain: This arrangement is designed to arouse passion. The bed against the wall is stable, the round curtain and square bed symbolize the universe's balance, with everything flourishing. The gauze curtain also adds romance. Plus, having two fish in the circular aquarium symbolizes the endless cycle of water, creating an irresistible desire. Am I right, Qiao"

I nodded at my brother, who grinned and leaned back in his chair: "Mr. Lin, it seems Ms. Xu knows her stuff. Maybe she hired a master to lay out the situation."

Lin Yanhuan was still wearing that cold poker face, but I clearly saw a trace of displeasure in his eyes.

Tsk, I don't know if it's because I'm unhappy with Miss Xu's scheming or because my brother was too blunt.

Ms. Xu must really want to cling to Lin Yanhuan's leg and perhaps even have a child with him. However, she didn't dare to go as far as offering herself as a "child-bearing goddess"—that would be too obvious.

"Miss Mu, is there anything else" Lin Yanhuan stared at me and asked.

"Oh... I've never seen your study before, but the study just happens to be this year's Wu Huang disaster star position. Just pay attention to these things, and I'll write them down for you—"

I passed the paper in my hand over to him. It read, "Avoid red and yellow colors, avoid moving earth, raise fish, water-cultivate plants, and avoid prolonged sitting or lying down."

"Mr. Lin, you still need to be careful about your throat and stomach. You can put some things that can resolve it. There are some genuine products in my shop, you can come and have a look."

Lin Yanhuan looked at the note I handed him, nodding and saying, "Good... but don't move any earth. Is there a range Do you mean renovation or—"

"Nothing will work," I shook my head. "Not even drilling holes in the wall or hammering nails."

He frowned and said in a low voice, “Recently, the study is installing anti-theft and monitoring systems, so there will inevitably be some of these behaviors.”

I rolled my eyes. I've said what I had to say, it's up to you what you do with it.

》》》

I still underestimated the scheming of these wealthy families. Not long after I told Lin Yanhuan about this, a black car stopped me at school.

The driver and bodyguard came down and stopped me. The back door opened, and a woman in a beige trench coat, with half her hair pulled up, got out of the car.

"You are Mu Xia Qiao" she looked at me coldly.

I took a step back and nodded. "Who are you"

She sneered, and slapped me across the face!

Luckily, I had prepared to dodge and asked, "Where did you come from, crazy person Do I know you You hit people just like that!"itual..." I replied softly.The little ghost servant muttered under his breath, "Lord Emperor's speed... how many years would we have to cultivate! Why is he just watching Shouldn't he be training the...
