Chapter 58: The Invisible Door of He Qingchen’s Office

Chapter 58

Wei Yuan dropped Jian Xi off at the entrance of He Group. On the way, he couldn't help but ask Jian Xi about the meaning of what she said to his father.

Jian Xi explained it to him. What she said was quite clear - Wei Yuan's father and mother were good people for three lifetimes, and thus formed a karmic bond spanning three lifetimes. They would be together again in their next life. However, if Wei Yuan's father harbored any thoughts of pursuing his mother, that would be a different story.

Those who commit suicide violate the laws of yin and yang. Their lives are not yet complete, so they would face judgment in the Underworld. More often than not, the result is that they cannot be reincarnated, even if they have accumulated merits. Good deeds are good deeds, and wrongdoings are wrongdoings - they cannot cancel each other out.

That's why Jian Xi warned Wei Yuan's father against entertaining any inappropriate thoughts!

Wei Yuan was very grateful to Jian Xi and thanked her repeatedly. After Jian Xi left, he asked Gu Lingling for Jian Xi's account details and transferred one million as a token of gratitude.

However, when he saw that the account name belonged to He Qingchen, he double-checked with Gu Lingling before confirming the transfer.

After getting off Wei Yuan's car, Jian Xi didn't rush into He Group. Instead, she sent a message to Tang Xingyou by the roadside, asking if there was a name "Cao Hongting" (Wei Yuan's mother) on the list of souls for the Underworld that month.

Tang Xingyou replied quickly, confirming that the name was on the list.

Jian Xi briefly explained the situation and told her that they didn't need to look for that ghost anymore, as she had already sent her to the Underworld.

A while later, Tang Xingyou responded that she would inform Team Leader Nie after finishing her work.

Jian Xi only had Chief Song and Tang Xingyou as contacts; she hadn't had a chance to add anyone else yet.

She put away her phone, intending to enter the building. At that moment, Tang Xingyou sent her another message, this time with an image.

The image showed a small paper figure.

Tang Xingyou: [Little Seven, is this yours? Did you use it to lock the door last night when you were in a hurry to leave?]

Jian Xi: [Yes, since you all were upstairs and didn't come down, I used the paper figure spell to lock the door in my hurry.]

Tang Xingyou: [...(??????)?? Master!]

Tang Xingyou: [Ah! Ah! Ah! The long-lost paper figure spell! How did you manage that, Little Seven?]

Even through text, one could sense Tang Xingyou's excitement. Jian Xi smiled and sent her a voice message, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Curious, she peeked her head inside.

Coincidentally, He Qingchen, who was changing clothes in the resting area, also heard the noise and turned around.

Their eyes met, and Jian Xi's heart pounded rapidly as her face turned beet red.

At that moment, He Qingchen was only wearing a pair of underwear, with nothing covering the rest of his body. A towel lay at his feet, presumably the one he had just taken off!

Jian Xi froze, her gaze fixed on He Qingchen's bare form.

Although she had grown up with He Qingchen, this was the first time she had seen him in such a state of undress!

His pale skin, slender frame, and toned abs with a visible Adonis belt were just like the descriptions of male leads in the novels she had read.

Forgetting her embarrassment, Jian Xi unconsciously let her gaze wander downwards as she compared He Qingchen's physique to those of the male leads in her books.

Oh my, what was she doing!

Snapping out of her trance, Jian Xi hastily closed the hidden door and ran off.

Seeing her reaction, He Qingchen smirked and leisurely put on his pants. His black shirt had two buttons undone, and he slowly fastened his belt before stepping out of the resting area.

He was surprised that Jian Xi had come, as he had been too engrossed in his work earlier and forgotten about the cup of coffee his assistant had brought in, knocking it over and spilling it on his pants. That's why he had taken a shower and changed clothes.

Who would have thought that Jian Xi would arrive at that very moment, just as he had removed his towel!

However, seeing the little girl's adorable embarrassment, his heart softened. He just didn't know if she had run off or not.

Quickening his pace, he opened the door of the resting area and peeked out. Thankfully, she hadn't been scared away and was sitting obediently on the sofa.

"What brings you here today? Have you eaten?" He Qingchen asked casually, as if nothing had happened earlier.

Jian Xi's face was still slightly flushed as she sipped the water she had poured for herself. "Ah, I went to the Wei's family earlier, and then I came here to have lunch with you!"

He Qingchen sat down at his desk and continued working on the unfinished document from before, uttering two words, "Wei's family?"

"Yes, Wei Yuan's Wei's family. I took care of a small matter there, and it's all resolved now," Jian Xi answered his question.
