Unable to resist, Shen Muhan couldn’t help but lean in and excitedly whispered while covering his mouth, “Boss, do you really know how to catch ghosts? Can

I learn this from you?”

Lu Miao gave him a cool look and asked, “Have you finished making up for the missed classes? Do you know we have a midterm today?”

“Oh, damn, a midterm?” Shen Muhan couldn’t help but exclaim, forgetting about his curiosity about catching ghosts- He quickly rushed back to his seat to cram for the exam.

He had been absent from school for over a month, and he had already returned the study materials he borrowed. If he had known there was a midterm today, he definitely wouldn’t have come!o

After finishing the exam in the afternoon, Shen Muhan wailed in distress. Su

MO sympathetically patted his head, and then turned to Lu Miao as usual.

“Boss, how did you do on the exam?

“No problem, I’ll be the top scorer in the city,” Lu Miao confidently replied.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked!” Su MO quickly apologized.

“Boss, could you be a bit more tactful with your comments?” Shen Muhan added.

“I’m just stating the truth. If it were a national exam, I would be the top scorer in the country,” Lu Miao mercilessly crushed their hopes again.

Su MO and Shen Muhan were left speechless.

Their boss was probably one of those legendary people who scored a perfect 100 because that was the maximum score one could achieve.

Lu Miao picked up her backpack, left the school, contacted the renovation company, and took a taxi directly to her newly purchased villa.

She needed to create a simulated vacuum environment there, so the requirements for the structure and materials were extremely high.

She had already sketched a rough design at home and handed it over to the workers. She discussed and explained her needs in detail.

Finally, they agreed on the renovation timeline and duration.

After seeing off the workers, Lu Miao was about to leave when she unexpectedly ran into Elder Shen returning from his walk.

Seeing Lu Miao, he paused for a moment, glanced at the house behind her, and seemed to understand something. He immediately approached with a smile.

“Lu Miao, are you going to be our neighbor after moving here?”

Lu Miao explained, “No, Elder Shen, I…”

Elder Shen waved his hand, took a step forward, and whispered, “Is it because

Mr Gu bullied you, so you secretly moved out?”

Without waiting for Lu Miao to answer, he continued, “Hmph, I never liked that boy. I always felt he wasn’t good enough for you. Don’t worry, if he dares to bully you again after you move here, I’ll give him a good beating.”

Lu Miao couldn’t help but facepalm. Did elderly people have such vivid imaginations?

Helplessly, she said, “Elder Shen, he really didn’t bully me. I have another purpose for buying this place.”

Elder Shen waved his hand dismissively, clearly understanding everything without Lu Miao having to defend Gu Shiyan.

Then he smiled and looked at her. “Lu Miao, what do you think of Muhan? Although he’s a bit slow, he’s obedient and well-behaved. If you tell him to go east, he won’t go west. Plus, the Shen family only has him as their child…” Lu Miao was speechless and coolly interrupted him, “Elder Shen, I skipped two grades, I’m only 16 this year, and I’m not of legal age. According to our country’s laws, the minimum age to get married is 20, and it’s against the law to marry underaged teens.”

Elder Shen coughed, covering his mouth. He cleared his throat a few times. “Let’s talk about it in a couple of years then. Since you’re here, stay for dinner tonight.”

Without giving Lu Miao a chance to refuse, he directly took her back to his house.

So when Shen Muhan returned home, he saw Lu Miao sitting in the living room with Elder Shen.

“Boss, why are you here?” Shen Muhan excitedly approached and sat next to Lu Miao.

Elder Shen glanced at his mischievous grandson and sighed.

He was always calling Lu Miao “Boss” without understanding its true meaning.

He didn’t even grasp the concept of taking advantage of an opportunity.

It worried him that his foolish grandson couldn’t seize opportunities at his age.

During dinner, Shen Muhan’s parents enthusiastically served Lu Miao, placing food in her bowl as if they wanted to pile everything onto it.

Lu Miao’s stomach was about to burst.

After dinner, Elder Shen racked his brain to create an opportunity for his useless grandson. He pretended to be tired and asked Shen Muhan to accompany Lu Miao and show her around the Shen family’s house before sending her back.

Shen Muhan finally found a chance to speak to Lu Miao alone. He took her to the small garden outside where night had already fallen, and the silver moonlight bathed the ground, casting a soft silver glow over the flowers and plants.

“Boss, you said you wanted to take me as your apprentice. Teach me how to catch ghosts,” Shen Muhan said, tilting his head slightly.o

“Do you really want to learn?” Lu Miao raised an eyebrow, observing him.

Shen Muhan eagerly nodded. “Yes!”

“Alright, in a few days, come with me to the Unmarked Graveyard,” Lu Miao said straightforwardly.

“The Un… Unmarked Graveyard?”

Shen Muhan shivered and was about to speak, but suddenly, a thunderclap echoed through the previously clear night sky.

After a brief pause, lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by booming thunder.

Strong winds blew, making it hard to keep their eyes open.

“What kind of weather is this?” Shen Muhan complained, quickly standing in front of Lu Miao to shield her from the wind.

Lu Miao squinted at the thundering night sky. The wind felt wrong, mixed with a hint of malevolence.

The driver started the car, and Shen Muhan sat in the backseat, driving Lu Miao back to Lingyue Manor.

The weather was terrible, causing a delay on the way. By the time they arrived home, it was almost ten o’clock at night.

Lu Miao hadn’t entered the password to her door yet when the door opened from the inside.

Upon seeing Lu Miao standing next to Shen Muhan, Gu Shiyan glanced at him and then looked at Lu Miao.

Shen Muhan, not wanting to back down, puffed out his chest and stared back. He then leaned towards Lu Miao to whisper in her ear.

“Elder, didn’t you already move out of the Gu family? Why is Mr Gu here? Is he freeloading off you now?

Lu Miao flicked his forehead with her finger. “What nonsense. It’s bad weather. Go home quickly.”

“Oh.” Shen Muhan rubbed his forehead and deliberately provocatively said,

“Boss, I’ll leave now, but don’t forget our agreement.”

Lu Miao turned and walked inside.

Glancing at the night sky above, Gu Shiyan finally spoke up, “Did Elder Shen look for you?”

Lu Miao didn’t want to explain the vacuum laboratory matter anymore, so she casually replied with a noncommittal sound.

Gu Shiyan followed behind her and entered the house together. He bent down, opened the shoe cabinet, and took out her slippers, placing them at her feet.

“If you come back late at night in the future, give me a call in advance, and I’ll come pick you up. It’s not safe to ride in a stranger’s car, especially at night.” Lu Miao bent down to change her shoes. “I’m quite capable, I don’t think anyone can make me feel unsafe.”

Since Gu Shiyan had witnessed her skills firsthand before, there was no need to hide anything in this regard.

Gu Shiyan paused for a moment. “Well, I don’t have much to do in the evenings anyway, so picking you up can be a way to get some exercise.”

Not much to do?

Lu Miao gave him a curious look. Was this still the workaholic Gu Shiyan who couldn’t rest for more than a few hours a day and even timed his own death?

After a moment of thought, she earnestly suggested, “Sitting in a car without moving doesn’t count as exercise. If you have that much free time, it would be better to go to the gym after work in the evenings. It’s good for your health.”

Gu Shiyan:…

Was this what they called a “blunt woman’s thinking”?
