That psychic with mental abilities was equally at a loss and felt rather sheepish. After all, this delicate beauty, who seemed as if she ought to be cosseted and cherished, was now lying in Pang Xiao's arms, her face ashen and her lips drained of color. How could one not feel a pang of heartache at the sight?
"Perhaps her mental strength is too feeble, which led to this. She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Pang Xiao was far from satisfied with his explanation. He scooped her up in his arms in a princely fashion and made his way out, intent on escorting her home.
The psychic felt aggrieved. He'd merely carried out the standard procedure. Who could have anticipated such an outcome?
Pang Xiao carried her to the lounge, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Someone even went out of their way to summon a healer with special abilities.
"Sasha, you're here! Hurry and take a look at her. She fainted right after the hypnosis."
Sasha crouched down. As a Yellow-level healer, when her energy adhered to Shen Jin Huan's body, she suddenly sensed a powerful suction force. However, it vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had been nothing more than a momentary illusion.
Although she found it rather strange, she meticulously examined Shen Jin Huan's body. Once she was certain that there were no issues, she turned to Pang Xiao and said, "She's fine. She should regain consciousness shortly. You'd better take her away from here for now."
"Very well."
Pang Xiao brought her back to the downstairs of her residence.
He waited until she was on the verge of waking up before gently carrying her out of the vehicle.
Shen Jin Huan feigned pressing her temples, her eyes hazy and bewildered as she gazed at Pang Xiao, who was half-supporting her. "Who are you?"
Pang Xiao felt a twinge of disappointment. She truly didn't remember him. Instantly, even his smile seemed forced. "I'm... I'm Pang Xiao. Little sister, it's rather hot today. Remember to carry an umbrella when you go out."
"Thank you," she replied courteously.
After expressing her gratitude, she took her leave, her figure svelte and graceful, her long, fair legs attracting admiring glances.
Pang Xiao wasn't one for flowery prose or elaborate rhetoric. If he were to describe Shen Jin Huan, he'd liken her to a camellia.
Some women were like roses, others like peonies, and still others were akin to bamboo or orchids. But Shen Jin Huan was unique, with an alluring charm that fluctuated between being richly fragrant and delicately elegant, effortlessly captivating hearts, every nuance of her exuding an irresistible allure.
Shen Jin Huan hailed a cab, feeling rather jovial. After this day's events, the attention they'd been lavishing on her would likely wane considerably.
As for Ji Yan, if he aspired to prosperity in the future, he still had several hurdles to overcome in the near term. She'd peered into his fortune regarding wealth and found it to be favorable. The ultimate outcome was bound to be rosy, although the journey ahead might prove rather trying.
She had no intention of lending a hand. Ji Yan's encounter with her had already defied fate, altering his destiny. His future prosperity in wealth could be considered a gift from her. Were she to intervene in this minor tribulation, it might, in fact, work to his detriment and even shorten his lifespan.
Shen Jin Huan had an unabashed fondness for modern junk food. Her first stop was none other than KFC, where she procured tacos and an ice-cold cola. After savoring them to her heart's content, she made her way to the food street behind the shopping mall, indulging in fried skewers, fried corn, cheese hot dogs, duck intestines, grilled squid, toasted bread...
Oh, bliss!
And she couldn't forget the milk tea!
She'd just finished a skewer of squid when she turned around and saw Yun Qingjue looking at her with a smile.
He retrieved a small handkerchief from his pocket, walked over, and, with a captivating smile in his eyes, gently wiped her mouth. "You little glutton, you've made yourself look like a little kitten with a messy face!"
Numerous young girls in the vicinity covered their mouths and squealed in excitement. Goodness gracious! There were two celestial beings here, seemingly in the throes of love!
Oh my! Ahhhhhhh!
Just imagine how beautiful their children would be!
They were simply swooning!
"Thank you!" She was impeccably polite, having mastered the social niceties of humanity rather well.
After retracting his handkerchief, Yun Qingjue maintained a respectful distance of about a fist's width from her and walked alongside her in a natural manner.
"Aren't you busy with work?"
"Not particularly." He truly wasn't overly occupied. His business had a well-established system in place, and he only needed to oversee major matters.
On a daily basis, he frequented various antique stores under his purview, occasionally lending his discerning eye to authenticate items.
The city of Hai was a haven for collectors, teeming with enthusiasts.
While it lacked the centuries-old heritage of historical metropolises, it had, through the efforts of its numerous collectors and a vibrant market, carved out a significant niche in the domestic antique world.
The antique and cultural relics market in the city of Hai had experienced explosive growth, with countless antique cities and stores springing up, albeit with a rapid turnover rate.
Consequently, Yun Qingjue's business chain ranked highly in the entire cultural relics industry. Wealthy and with ample leisure time, he was, without a doubt, a prime catch, a veritable diamond bachelor.
"Then don't keep coming to see me. My boyfriend might get jealous." Shen Jin Huan was often impulsive in her speech and actions, seldom concerning herself with whether her words might wound Yun Qingjue's feelings.
After all, for the moment, her energy reserves were sufficient, and she wasn't in a hurry to seek new "supplies".
"Jin Huan, I'm truly smitten with you."
She glanced up, her expression charmingly coy, her voice sweet and soft, yet her words were rather cutting. "There are so many who fancy me. You'll have to get in line."
