When it came time to submit her university preferences, Lu Miao directly submitted her list, causing the group of elderly men to finally give up. The household finally quieted down.
Gu Shiyan wasn’t surprised when he heard she was going to Xi’an University of Technology.
After all, Lu Miao wasn’t an ordinary person. She was willing to give up so many exceptional universities to attend Xi’an University of Technology, which meant there must be something she wanted there.
After undergoing acupuncture treatment for over half a year, Gu Zhixing’s condition of bone dissolution had improved significantly. Now, all he needed was medication to maintain his health.
Perhaps due to Gu Zhixing’s years away from home, coupled with Lu Miao’s previous events, although the elderly lady found it hard to accept Aluo, she ultimately refrained from saying anything.
Shen Qinghe, on the other hand, had completely let go. Since she had plenty of sons, she figured having one more son wouldn’t be a bad thing.
With the acceptance of their families, Gu Zhixing and Aluo settled down in Luo
City.
On the day of the university’s opening, Gu Shiyan, Gu Jinxi, Gu Ziheng, Gu
Zhixing, Aluo, Lu Yinan, and Shen Qinghe were all insistent on seeing her off. Gu Shiyan promptly had his secretary apply for airspace clearance and arranged a private plane to take everyone to the school.
As a result, on the day of the university’s opening, all of Xi’an University of Technology’s students witnessed a show of dominance.
A group of imposing figures, their shoulders broad and their legs long, followed behind a petite, fair-skinned young girl, carrying her bags and fetching water, running errands, and asking for directions.
The girls were nearly envious to tears.
Having such a domineering figure was winning at life – not to mention, there were so many of them!
Moreover, each one doted on her immensely!
On the first day of school, Lu Miao directly dominated the university’s online forum.
Xi’an University of Technology was well-prepared for her. After registering, they arranged her accommodation, providing her with a single VIP suite.
Lu Miao didn’t mind and nodded in agreement.
However, Gu Shiyan couldn’t bear to let her experience such hardship. He had already purchased a villa outside the campus.
He had even hired caregivers and servants to attend to her daily needs.
Although Lu Miao had gone to Northwestern of the country, in the upcoming university years, this group of people would seize any free time they had to visit her.
Especially Gu Shiyan, who was a frequent visitor.
The frequency of his comings and goings made Lu Miao wonder if he had become unemployed and no longer needed to work.
Lin Bufan still acted as her agent and occasionally secured her some gigs.
After finishing classes one afternoon, before Lu Miao even got home, she received a call from Lin Bufan.
“Boss, Daoist Lingxu has awakened.”
Previously, Daoist Lingxu had exhausted all of his energy to suppress the evil spirits under the City God Temple. Were it not for Lu Miao’s intervention, he might have already met his demise.
He had fallen into a deep sleep for nearly two years and had finally awoken. Lin Bufan didn’t dare make the decision to send him for a medical checkup without consulting Lu Miao, so he called her instead.
“Got it, I’ll head back now.”
After requesting leave from her counselor and booking a flight ticket, Lu Miao flew back to Los Angeles.
Following Lin Bufan’s renovations, the City God Temple’s incense had grown increasingly strong.
With more incense, more merits were obtained.
Under the nourishment of these merits, it was probably the reason Daoist Lingxu had woken up so quickly.
After checking on Daoist Lingxu’s condition, they left the back hall. Lin Bufan followed behind Lu Miao, occasionally glancing at her with a hesitant expression, as though he wanted to say something.
Lu Miao said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
After pondering for a moment, Lin Bufan cautiously asked, “Boss, have you found someone you like at university?”
Raising an eyebrow, Lu Miao looked at him and said, “What do you think?”
Covering his mouth and coughing dryly, Lin Bufan said, “I think Boss is so beautiful and exceptional that you must be adored by everyone at school. Cars must get flat tires just by passing by you. Everyone likes you.”
“And?” Lu Miao was perplexed, wondering what had gotten into him today.
Lu Miao glanced at him and said, “Men would only hinder my cultivation speed.”
“Exactly, those rotten men truly don’t deserve you.”
Lin Bufan habitually nodded in agreement, but thinking about what he had witnessed yesterday, he couldn’t help feeling a bit troubled.
“So, what kind of man does Boss like? I know many outstanding individuals; I can introduce some to you.”
The tone and the words made Lu Miao instantly envision those online videos urging marriage.
Her lip twitched sharply, and she coolly replied, “Are you that free? Go clean the entire temple until it’s spotless. I’ll come to inspect it tomorrow.”
After saying that, she turned and walked straight outside.
Lin Bufan hurriedly caught up and blocked her path. “Boss, are you really okay with completely parting ways with Gu Shiyan?”
It was only then that Lu Miao realized that Gu Shiyan hadn’t flown over there as he had been doing for the past two months.
After a brief moment of contemplation, she had a hunch. “Has Gu Shiyan been involved in any rumors recently?”
“It’s not just rumors.”
Seeing that she didn’t seem particularly interested, Lin Bufan took a deep breath and gathered his courage. “It seems that Gu Shiyan is about to get married.”
“Married?”
A barely detectable crease formed between Lu Miao’s eyebrows.
“Yeah, the news is all over the place. Gu Shiyan was seen shopping for wedding dresses with his fiancée.”
As he spoke, Lin Bufan pulled out his phone and showed her the news.
On the screen, Gu Shiyan was dressed in a suit, looking at a young woman wearing a wedding dress in front of him.
Although the distance was far, and the image was somewhat blurry, one could vaguely see the young woman smiling shyly with her head down. Gu Shiyan stood there, his expression gentle as he gazed at her.
The two of them seemed like a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful.
“This photo was taken by a paparazzo who accidentally captured it while stalking a minor celebrity. After the news broke, an employee from the wedding dress shop came forward to confirm that it was Gu Shiyan. They even leaked some details about their private interactions, mentioning how gentle Gu Shiyan was, how he doted on the young woman. He patiently spent the entire afternoon accompanying her, trying on dozens of wedding dresses. They even overheard the young woman on the phone confirming the wedding date.”
Lu Miao lowered her gaze and looked at the news comments praising their compatibility and the tender, affectionate words said about Gu Shiyan. She pinched the phone screen a few times with her fingertips before speaking in a calm tone.
“It’s true that I’ve already ended my engagement with Gu Shiyan. At his age, it’s about time he found someone to marry and spend the rest of his life with.” “Boss, are you really not angry?” Lin Bufan cautiously asked.
After all, Lu Miao had previously been engaged to Gu Shiyan, and Gu Shiyan had even acted like he couldn’t marry anyone else but her.
