Who Moved My Mountain Chapter 29 Part 4: Age is not small

She finally had her wish to be a staff at Lu Corporation fulfilled. The benefit of working at Lu Corporation was very good and the work at the reception desk wasn"t hard. It"s just that, a girl that wasn"t from this city worked in this company where all the staff was male, so here, she almost had no friends at all. 

All her motivation was fixed on Lu He Nian. But no matter how she dressed, no matter how many things she did to attract his attention, Lu He Nian"s sight had never fallen on her.

He was the Chief Lu that was up high, and she was merely a very minor receptionist. 

Lin Xiao Man walked while thinking and her tears fell down. For what reason? Just because she didn"t look good and her family was mediocre? If she had a better appearance, if she could also wear a skirt worth several tens of thousands, put on a few hundred thousands worth of jewelry, she wouldn"t be much different from those honorable young ladies. 

When Lin Xiao Man arrived home, her brain was full of longing for Lu He Nian. She felt as if her heart was thrown into a deep fryer and suffered repeatedly. She was already at her lowest point, what else could be different compared to the current moment? 

She couldn"t suppress it anymore. Lin Xiao Man recalled the words said by the mirror in the morning: Do you want to be beautiful? Do you also want to have a good figure? Do you want to have a good family background?

She wants, even when dreaming she wants!

When the idea came out, it was just like a poisonous snake coiling around her heart, slowly tightening. Lin Xiao Man"s heart suddenly violently throbbed. She sat still until 11 o"clock and finally bit her lips and stood up. She grabbed the makeup mirror by the side and rushed out. 

She had a kind of feeling, if she didn"t go tonight, she would regret it for a lifetime!

Suli River was located on the outskirts of Haishi. Lin Xiao Man took a taxi to the riverbank and arrived there just five minutes before midnight. With the cold night wind blowing, her feverish brain eventually cooled down a bit. Subconsciously, her body trembled as she looked at the rolling river water and a faint fear rose in her heart. 

Just as she was about to retreat, the mirror in her hand issued an enticing voice: "Walk forward, just another step and you could fulfill your wish. You will get what you most want. You and your beloved can be together……."

Lin Xiao Man"s eyes slowly became dazed, she foolishly smiled, and step by step she advanced towards Suli river. It was as if she was walking in a dream, in front of her eyes wasn"t the river water surging forward, naturally, it was the place where she wanted to go the most.

After Lu He Nian left, Yun Rong continued eating her egg tarts until they none remained, then she watched a bit of TV. Leaning against the sofa, she began to doze off. Ever since she was awoken, she always felt her spiritual influence and cultivation wasn"t like how it used to be before. At the beginning, she thought it was because she had slept for too long so her spiritual influence dissipated and it hadn"t been reinstated in a while. But it had been a few days, yet it was still the same. 

For example, drawing an evil-suppressant charm for Lu He Nian. If it was before, there would be no problem for her to draw 8 to 10 of them. But today, she just drew one and she felt that her spiritual influence wasn"t maximized enough.   

The aura in Lu He Nian"s body was also somewhat strange. Such a strong aura, ordinary demons wouldn"t be able to bear. No need to mention the humans, perhaps since earlier their bodies would have exploded and died.  

However, Lu He Nian not only didn"t explode and die, his body was still healthy, his mind was also still sharp. Almost 30 years old and he was safe and sound. She had never come across this kind of thing before. 

Could it be, Lu He Nian was the reincarnation of someone powerful?

Yun Rong fell asleep as she was thinking. When she woke up, the sky outside was already dark. She sat up and caught sight of Lu He Nian sitting not so far from her. 

"Second brother." Yun Rong called out, "what time is it now?"

"It"s already more than 10 o"clock, you"ve been asleep for four hours." Hearing Yun Rong"s voice, Lu He Nian came out from his reverie. He pushed his gold-rimmed gla.s.ses and concealed his state of mind behind the lens and replied to her. 

"How could I sleep for so long? Is it time to get off work?" Yun Rong rubbed her eyes, she just woke up, so she wasn"t yet fully awake.

"It"s been time to get off work a long time ago, there"re only the two of us remaining at the office." Lu He Nian replied: "I saw that you were asleep so I didn"t wake you up. Are you hungry? Let"s go and eat."

Instead of feeling refreshed after a nap, Yun Rong actually felt dizzy. She nodded and crawled up from the sofa and let out a "ha" sound. "Let"s go. I"m sorry, second brother, for making you wait for me for so long." 

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Lu He Nian stood up and caught sight of the young lady"s tired appearance and couldn"t help asking her anxiously.

"It"s okay. I spent a bit of spiritual energy when I drew the charm in the afternoon. It will be reinstated after a few days." Yun Rong spoke without thinking. She patted her face and continued: "Let"s go, I"m hungry."

Lu He Nian paused: "Does drawing the charm require a lot of spiritual energy?"

"Not really, the usual charm actually uses very little spiritual energy. But second brother was born with an evil aura. If you want to control the body"s evil aura one needs a bit more spiritual energy." Yun Rong explained.

Lu He Nian looked at Yun Rong seriously and spoke: "If it"s going to influence your body, then there"s no need to draw the charm. Actually, I can also use the jade pendant that Master Zhang made." He had used them for so many years already, he"d already gotten used to it. It"s nothing more than avoiding more contact with people. 

Drawing one charm was 300,000, if she didn"t draw the charm, when would she be able to collect enough money? When Yun Rong heard him, she immediately became sober and comfortingly said: "Second brother, it"s really okay. No problem with me doing it once every month!"
