Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 526 - 486: A Woman’s Intuition_1

Lu Chuan asked with some confusion, "A bit odd?"

Nangong Duoduo replied, "Yes, that’s right... extremely odd. I can’t explain it clearly over the phone. Though I know you’re very capable, my friend’s problem is too bizarre, and only your visit overseas could help her. Otherwise, let’s just forget about it; I’d feel awful if I made you take a trip for nothing."

After some thought, Lu Chuan inquired, "Regardless of whether I can solve her problem or not, if I do help her, is she definitely going to give me a four-hundred-year spirit medicine as compensation?"

Nangong Duoduo affirmed, "Yes, as long as you can resolve the trouble she’s facing, she will definitely give you a four-hundred-year spirit medicine. In fact, you could say that the problem she encountered is directly related to that very spirit medicine."

A limitless curiosity rose in Lu Chuan’s heart, and he felt an urge to know what kind of trouble Nangong Duoduo’s friend had encountered.

He was aware that spiritual medicine that had grown for more than four hundred years would develop certain characteristics. For example, the Love Herb that Gu Xiaosang took away enjoyed making people fall in love, thriving on the power of affection generated between couples.

The hundred-year spirit herb that he had absorbed for Zhong Ling’er possessed the characteristic of intensifying curiosity. If one got too close to that herb, their curiosity would exponentially increase. In severe cases, one might even be unable to resist spying on other people’s secrets. That’s why after obtaining that spirit medicine, Lu Chuan had always kept it within his storage space and never took it out, as curiosity could kill a cat, and he didn’t want to invite trouble out of mere inquisitiveness.

Nangong Duoduo mentioned that the trouble her friend encountered had a lot to do with the four-hundred-year spirit medicine, which could very likely be a consequence of the medicine’s characteristics.

As for why Nangong Duoduo didn’t want to say over the phone precisely what problem her friend was facing, it was probably because the nature of the spirit medicine’s characteristics was somewhat embarrassing to discuss.

Driven by the need for a four-hundred-year spirit medicine and his sense of curiosity, Lu Chuan told Nangong Duoduo, "I am in great need of a four-hundred-year spirit medicine. If by resolving your friend’s trouble I can get that medicine, then I’m willing to make a trip overseas. If I fail to resolve it, I’ll accept that my skills were inadequate, and Miss Nangong shouldn’t feel any remorse over it."

Having heard Lu Chuan agree, Nangong Duoduo reluctantly promised, "Alright then, I’ll give you the address. I’ll come to meet you when you arrive."

She then provided Lu Chuan with the address and arranged a meeting time.

After hanging up, Lu Chuan had Han Qingci instruct the Han family to help him procure a passport and buy a plane ticket. The headquarters of the Nangong aristocratic family were established in the US, and Nangong Duoduo was currently there; naturally, her friend was there as well.

Initially, Lu Chuan thought about flying directly there since it would be the most convenient, but upon reflection, considering the rapid development of modern technology, if he were to cross borders by flying, he would surely be detected by various surveillance systems, and might even be mistaken for a missile or some such threat, potentially causing an international incident. Therefore, he decided to take a plane instead.

Han Qingci, of course, wanted to accompany Lu Chuan, but he rejected her offer.

Although Zhong Ling’er was currently fine, it was best to leave someone by her side in case any unexpected situation arose.

When Han Qingci considered that Zhong Ling’er still needed care, she reluctantly gave up the idea of traveling with Lu Chuan. However, she gave him a serious admonition to be wary of Nangong Duoduo, as her intuition told her that this woman might have feelings for him.

Lu Chuan, feeling both amused and perplexed, thought Han Qingci was overthinking it. After all, he had only met Nangong Duoduo once; how could she possibly be interested in him?

Han Qingci insisted that he should not underestimate a woman’s intuition. She had realized through chatting with Nangong Duoduo that she was very concerned about Lu Chuan’s situation, and there must be a reason behind it.

Lu Chuan thought the idea somewhat far-fetched and asked, "If you suspect she’s interested in me, why do you still enjoy chatting with her?"

Han Qingci confidently stated, "Because she’s pretty, has a lovely voice, and she often sends me private photos..."

While talking, she suddenly realized something was off, and stealthily glanced at Lu Chuan, quickly correcting herself, "Of course, none of that matters. The important thing is she’s overseas, so she can’t have any interaction with you. When I get bored, I can have a friend to chat with, so I don’t mind being friends with her. But now you’re going to see her, so I need to remind you!"

Lu Chuan appeared somewhat helpless, unable to comprehend the girl’s thought process. He knew that arguing with a girl at such a time was the last thing rational to do, so he solemnly said, "Alright, don’t worry, I will definitely be careful around her."

Han Qingci then nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile. frёeωebɳovel.com

In the United States, New York City.

Within a towering skyscraper.

At the very top, in a luxurious office.

Nangong Duoduo sat at her desk, and after hanging up the phone with Lu Chuan, a look of anticipation suddenly appeared on her face.

She took out her compact mirror, checked her makeup, and seeing that she was still stunningly beautiful, she nodded in satisfaction.

Thanks to Lu Chuan’s help with the haunted ancestral home, Nangong Duoduo felt some fondness for him and recognized his capabilities.

Of course, the most important factor was that, after her grandfather’s death, his spirit had communicated through Han Qingci to tell her to pursue Lu Chuan, something she had always kept in mind.

Although Han Qingci had made it clear that Lu Chuan was hers and she had promised Han Qingci not to go after him, she had always heeded her grandfather’s words. Knowing that her grandfather wished for her to become Lu Chuan’s woman made it challenging for her to convince herself she shouldn’t entertain any such thoughts about someone who was already taken. The more she forced herself not to think about it, the stronger the idea persisted.

During this period, she had people investigate Lu Chuan and, learning of the things he had done, her curiosity about this somewhat legendary man grew even more intense. She wanted to get to know him better.

But she was also aware that nothing could happen between her and Lu Chuan. Focusing her attention on a man she could not have wasn’t beneficial for her. Thus, she tried to fill her time and keep busy, so she wouldn’t think about unnecessary things, which made things a bit better.

And now that Lu Chuan was coming to see her, this naturally made her start to think wildly again.

At that moment, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed secretary came in and handed a schedule to Nangong Duoduo, saying, "President, here’s your agenda for the upcoming week. Please take a look."

Without so much as a glance, Nangong Duoduo said directly, "Cancel all of it. I’m going to see a very important friend next week and won’t have time for these matters."

The secretary nodded immediately but then added, "President, the gala with the Special Ability User performance that Young Master Chen specially invited you to two nights from now has been confirmed. I’ve also informed Young Master Chen you would attend. We’ve already declined Young Master Chen six times, and if we stand him up again, it might affect our company’s cooperation with the Chen Corporation."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Duoduo pondered for a moment and then muttered to herself, "The day after tomorrow... That’s also when Lu Chuan arrives. In that case, why not bring him along?"

She looked up at the secretary and said, "Then, aside from this gala, cancel everything else."

"Understood." The secretary nodded.
