Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Good Sisters

When Lin Jianming and his wife took care of Duoduo’s body,

Shen Siyuan finally received the strand of Merit that belonged to Duoduo.

By now, Shen Siyuan had collected four strands of Merit.

However, he didn’t use them immediately but went to buy groceries and was making lunch instead.

It was rare for him to have some alone time, so he bought some vegetables from the supermarket downstairs.

"Xiao Yue, have you picked the celery leaves?" Shen Siyuan, who was cooking, turned around and called out.

Xiao Yue, who was squatting on the ground picking celery leaves, stood up and said, "It’s all done."

"It’s rare that it’s just the two of us, and I still have you helping me out," Shen Siyuan turned off the stove and took the vegetables handed over by Xiao Yue.

"It’s okay, I like helping brother," Xiao Yue said.

She discovered that being dead was more relaxing than being alive.

There were no heavy schoolwork, no pressure from family, and no mockery or bullying from classmates.

She was extremely free now; she could go anywhere she wanted.

She could soar in the sky like a bird.

She had never felt so free before.

Of course, the most important thing was that Shen Siyuan needed her.

This seemingly unimportant thing was actually the most important to her.

Because Shen Siyuan needed her, she was no longer a drifting ghost; she had a family, she had roots.

"I am going back to the countryside the day after tomorrow and will stay for a few days, do you want to come with me?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"Of course," Xiao Yue answered without hesitation.

The reason Shen Siyuan chose the day after tomorrow to go back was that he had decided to go to the office tomorrow to finish next week’s work. This way, if anything came up, it would be easier for him to request more days off.

As for why he wanted to go back to the countryside, it was naturally for cultivation. He had checked online, and there was a metal ore vein near their home. Moreover, it was also convenient to check on his family.

While Shen Siyuan was eating, Ruan Hongzhuang also returned home.

However, after she put down her luggage, she called Master Zhou and had him pick her up to the office.

"Wow, you came back so soon?"

Jiang Taoshi, who was stuffing a piece of cake into her mouth, exclaimed with her mouth wide open.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at her and walked towards her own office.

Jiang Taoshi immediately followed with a box of cake.

"Long Ji’s cake, do you want some?"

"You’re not having lunch and just eating these?"

"No, lunch is lunch, and cake is cake, these are two different things," Jiang Taoshi said.

"Have you had lunch then?"

"Not yet."

"Good, then help me buy lunch too."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Taoshi was the assistant, so this was part of her duties.

When Ruan Hongzhuang sat down after setting down her bag, Jiang Taoshi immediately leaned in close to observe her carefully.

"What are you doing?"

Ruan Hongzhuang, looking disgusted, pushed Jiang Taoshi’s head away.

She was a decisive woman, but the only person she couldn’t handle was Jiang Taoshi, who clung to her annoyingly like a plaster.

"Wow, you seem a bit different, has your skin gotten so good? Did you receive some kind of nourishment?" Jiang Taoshi laughed mischievously, with gossip written all over her face.

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at her, speechless. Her skin improvement was naturally because of the "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill" that Shen Siyuan had given her.

It not only made her skin smoother, more delicate, and elastic, but also boosted her energy, making her feel as if she was back to her 18 or 19-year-old self.

The increased energy also brought a lot of positive mental feedback; she often felt inexplicably happy, sometimes had an urge to stand up and dance, unconsciously hum a song, or even make some weird noises and so on.

These were all manifestations of unreleased energy, but since humans are rational beings, and considering Ruan Hongzhuang’s mature disposition and that she was not a rash young person, she didn’t act out any bizarre behaviors.

Even so, there’s a radiant, spirited glow between her brows.

"Have you used up all the condoms I gave you?"

Jiang Taoshi whispered into Ruan Hongzhuang’s ear.

Her cheeks flushed, looking even more excited than Ruan Hongzhuang herself.

Ruan Hongzhuang smirked upon hearing this, pushed her head aside, and pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth.

Jiang Taoshi didn’t resist, letting her wipe as she kept asking.

"No."

"Eh? None?" Jiang Taoshi’s eyes widened in surprise.

"But you don’t look like you haven’t used any."

Ruan Hongzhuang’s cheeks tinted red, her voice laced with a hint of shyness, "I didn’t use them, it was my first time, and I didn’t want to use that thing."

"Not using, aren’t you afraid of having an accident?" said Jiang Taoshi speechlessly.

"Then I’ll just have it, it’s not like I can’t afford raising a child," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

Jiang Taoshi gave a thumbs up.

"You’re really bold, not making a sound until a huge bang, talking about boyfriends and having kids all in one go."

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t reply, just hugged Jiang Taoshi bewilderedly and whispered a thank you in her ear.

"Thank me for what?" Jiang Taoshi asked, confused.

"Thank you for going on that blind date and letting me meet Shen Siyuan, thank you for giving him to me," Ruan Hongzhuang said seriously.

Seeing how heartfelt Ruan Hongzhuang was, as if meeting Shen Siyuan was a huge fortune for her, Jiang Taoshi was rendered speechless and somewhat incredulous.

"You’re hopeless, a total romantic."

She had no idea what she had missed.

Ruan Hongzhuang smiled and didn’t explain or retort; the more she knew Shen Siyuan, the luckier she felt.

After all, to be the goddess of the Mortal World, being his woman must be unimaginable happiness.

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget you."

Ruan Hongzhuang playfully pinched Jiang Taoshi’s cheek.

Her spirits seemed even livelier after being energized.

Yet Jiang Taoshi slapped her hand away with a disgusted face.

"Don’t touch me, you’re dirty."

Ruan Hongzhuang laughed heartily, only to lean in curiously and whisper.

"How many times did you do it? How big is he? What’s his stamina like?"

It must be said, the extent of women’s private conversations sometimes truly exceeds men’s wildest imaginations.

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t respond, which left Jiang Taoshi feeling betrayed, pouting in anger.

"Alright, don’t be mad, I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"How did Yang Hongwen know I was going to Xiajing and even know my flight, managing to stop me at the airport?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked seriously.

Jiang Taoshi was shocked, quickly waving her hands, "It wasn’t me."

"I know it wasn’t you, I want you to check who leaked my whereabouts," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Jiang Taoshi thought for a moment, immediately suspecting someone—very few knew about her itinerary.

"What should we do once we find out?" Jiang Taoshi asked.

"Obviously fire them."

Jiang Taoshi’s lips twitched, seeming to say it shouldn’t be so drastic, but a stern look from Ruan Hongzhuang silenced her.

This is why even though Jiang Taoshi’s family is very well-off, she can’t be the boss and only works as an assistant—too kindhearted and soft.

"Explain the reason clearly to the person, then go through the standard procedure to terminate them, and offer an N+1 severance package."

Jiang Taoshi smiled upon hearing this.
