As the saying goes, "Heaven rewards diligence," and the sincerity in his voice was palpable. After all, he had invested so much into this project; if it failed, it would mean that half of his life’s work had gone to waste.
Moments later, the smoke lingered in the air, neither dissipating nor rising. Suddenly, a strong wind swept through from outside the mountain, rustling the trees with a loud rustle.
Heaven rewards diligence was at a loss for words and could only look towards Ruan Fuxi. Ruan Fuxi formed hand seals and murmured softly, as if conversing with someone. After a brief moment, the wind ceased. The smoke began to rise slowly into the air.
Ruan Fuxi spoke, "Alright, the Mountain God has accepted your apology. Remember what you promised—to build a temple and create a golden statue for him."
She had just been negotiating with the Mountain God. The promise made by Heaven rewards diligence held significance for the deity; in the future, he could enjoy offerings and worship. With faith from the mortal realm, he would grow stronger rather than decline. That was why the Mountain God agreed to this condition.
Upon hearing this, Heaven rewards diligence quickly nodded. "Master, you can rest assured. I will definitely do this; I wouldn't dare to take it lightly."
He then transferred one million to Ruan Fuxi on the spot as a gesture of gratitude. Ruan Fuxi nodded and left with Sheng Yanzhou.
As they descended the mountain, a gentle breeze surrounded them. Ruan Fuxi smiled; it was the Mountain God’s gratitude.
After returning to the city, Ruan Fuxi began preparing for her trip to Port City to help Ye Ling resolve her mother’s issues. Since it was Saturday, she needed to get everything ready.
She returned to her rented apartment, with Sheng Yanzhou following closely behind her. After packing her things, Ruan Fuxi turned to Sheng Yanzhou and smiled, "Are you planning to stay?"
"Are you trying to rush me, Xiao Xi?" Sheng Yanzhou asked with a playful smile.
Ruan Fuxi felt a bit helpless; his words made her seem heartless. "No, if you want to stay, then stay."
They had already said everything that needed to be said, so one more night didn’t matter. She then asked, "Are you coming with me to the port city? I might be gone for two days."
The smile in Sheng Yanzhou's eyes deepened. "I thought you didn’t want to take me with you."
Ruan Fuxi felt a twinge of guilt; she hadn’t really considered it. "No, I just thought you were busy with work. After all, you’re the chairman of such a large company."
Sheng Yanzhou took her hand seriously and said, "Xiao Xi, you are more important than any work. I will always have time for you."
Ruan Fuxi blinked and then leaned into his embrace, smiling as she nodded. She thought it was time to put some of Yanzhou's clothes in her apartment so it would be more convenient for them when they stayed there together next time.
Just as she was thinking this, Sheng Yanzhou instructed his assistant to move some of his belongings over. The efficiency was impressive. She suspected he had been planning this all along, wanting to move in openly.
At six in the afternoon, when Ruan Fuxi started her livestream, viewers couldn’t help but gossip about her and Sheng Yanzhou. Their photo from last night was still trending on social media.
Ruan Fuxi couldn’t help but wonder if someone had paid to keep it up; otherwise, how could it still be trending? Following the orders of their chairman, Sheng Yanzhou’s assistant discreetly invested again, remaining low-key while supporting him from behind the scenes.
"Ruan Jie, were you at Mr. Sheng's house last night? Did you stay over?"
"Jie Fen! It's time for Jie Fen!"
"Isn't the fruit that Mr. Sheng prepared super sweet?"
