Chapter 358 -357 Such a Coincidence
Last time at the auction, Gu Feng had wanted to buy the protective jade ornament, but since Zu Xiao kept bidding up the price, he felt it was not quite right to compete aggressively.

This time, he took the initiative to come over to make a purchase.
Luo Ning sold it to him for the same price as she had to Zu Xiao, giving him a Jade Pendant.
Luo Ning was truly interested in the items Min Guangping brought, one of which particularly pleased her.
Once she acquired it, she would have everything she needed to set up the Array on the mountains of Capital City.
As a result, she handed Min Guangping a jade pendant.
Afterwards, Gu Feng asked, “Master Luo, are you still selling these Protective Jade Talismans to others?”
A friend had known he was visiting Luo Ning today and had asked him to inquire on their behalf.
Luo Ning shook her head, “Creating a batch of Protective Jade Talismans takes a lot of energy, and I don’t have many left. I won’t be selling any for the time being.”
She truly wasn’t planning on selling any more; she’d consider it when she needed money or something else in the future.
“Okay, well, if you decide to sell again, you can just give me a call,” Gu Feng wasn’t disappointed because he had managed to make a purchase that day.
Zu Xiao joined the conversation, “You can also find me if you need.”
Who wouldn’t want more Protective Jade Talismans after all? He had also wanted to buy another one, but Master Luo wasn’t selling.
Moreover, many friends in the circle also wanted them. If Luo Ning decided to sell, he was also keen on facilitating the deal to earn some goodwill.
Luo Ning smiled, “Okay, if I decide to sell, I’ll consider you guys first.”
After the group left, wealthy tycoons and high-status individuals from Xiang Island came knocking.
Some wanted to buy Protective Jade Talismans, while others wanted Luo Ning to help them with Feng Shui.
However, Luo Ning didn’t want to attract the enmity of other Feng Shui Masters on Xiang Island, so she had Lu Xun politely decline.
The next day, Luo Ning and Lu Xun, along with Zu Yu, went back to Capital City.
In the following period, Luo Ning was quite busy.
First, she flew overseas to film an advertisement campaign for Apocalypse City and helicopters.
Upon her return, she shot magazine covers for two campaigns that Fang Yan had taken on and attended an interview show.
Finally having some free time, she arranged Arrays in and around her newly renovated courtyard as well as on the mountain.
Zu Yu and Luo Xi hit it off instantly, with Luo Xi often taking Zu Yu out to have fun. Their energies melded well with one another, and the effect was quite positive.
Luo Ning noticed that Luo Xinxin wanted to get closer to her brother but was avoided and kept at a distance by him, which reassured her.
A couple of days later, Lu Xun drove to pick up Luo Ning to join the crew of the national drama they were filming.
This time the shooting was in another city, so they took a flight there.
When she arrived at the crew’s location, Luo Ning saw Ji Xinghang, who had matured much more.
Ever since Luo Ning had gone to Apocalypse City, Ji Xinghang had restrained himself from disturbing her.
Nevertheless, he kept up with all of Luo Ning’s activities and was aware of what had transpired on Xiang Island.
Indeed, many nights he had picked up his phone wanting to call or message Luo Ning.
But every time he hesitated, and then put the phone down again.
He was afraid to get as close to her as he had in the past; he feared that he would somehow harm her again in this life, and his heart was in turmoil.
Therefore, he looked forward to filming at the crew’s location with great eagerness.
In this way, he could see Luo Ning openly and legally.
Seeing her looking radiant and even emanating a sense of happiness, Ji Xinghang’s heart felt swollen and sour.
On one hand, he was relieved that many things had changed in this life, and Luo Ning wouldn’t suffer as she had in the last.
On the other hand, since there would never be another chance with her, it still hurt like his heart was being gouged out.
As for Luo Ning, she had completely let go of Ji Xinghang, including all of the past.
She took the initiative and waved at Ji Xinghang with a smile, “Brother Xing, you’ve arrived quite early.”
Now, in dealing with Ji Xinghang, she truly regarded him as a brother.
Calling Brother Xing always felt a little cheesy, so I just shortened it to Brother Xing.
Ji Xinghang felt upset inside, but he managed to show a smile on his face, “I haven’t been here much longer myself.”
He also tried his best to get used to the identity of a brother, “Did you come over with Lu?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yeah, we came together.”
Lu Xun knew that Ji Xinghang had willingly changed his role and warmed up a bit to him, “Teacher Ji, long time no see!”
Ji Xinghang still couldn’t stand the sight of Lu Xun; he had noticed that this guy’s interactions with Luo Ning had changed. The barrier that existed between them before was completely gone now.
He felt a sourness in his heart and, with a forced smile, said, “Lu, long time no see!”
The thought that his most treasured possession was going to profit this guy made him want to punch him.
However, as much as Ji Xinghang was reluctant to admit it, he couldn’t deny that Lu Xun was indeed much better than himself when it came to caring for and being considerate towards Luo Ning.
The two of them made a great pair now.
Soon after, Director Mo arrived and brought in a young, beautiful girl with a radiant demeanor.
He first greeted Lu Xun and the other two, then introduced the girl to everyone.
“This is Lou Ranran, the second female lead in our drama. I hope everyone will look after her in the future.”
Everyone could tell that there must be some connection between Director Mo and this second female lead.
After Director Mo finished introducing her, Lou Ranran herself greeted everyone with a smile, “I’m a newcomer, please take good care of me and offer me guidance, seniors.”
Calling herself a newcomer was obviously true to everyone present since they had never seen or heard of her in the entertainment circle before.
Being able to play the second female lead right off the bat meant her background was definitely strong, so the crew members were all quite courteous to her.
The opening ceremony for the film was then conducted.
Director Mo also made a special point of reintroducing Lou Ranran to Luo Ning, asking her to help mentor the newcomer.
Luo Ning realized then that Lou Ranran was a relative from Director Mo’s wife’s side and agreed with a smile.
For the first scene, Director Mo chose to have Lu Xun act, hoping to start off with a good omen.
Luo Ning and Ji Xinghang sat nearby watching.
Lou Ranran, holding cold drinks bought by an assistant, handed one to each of them.
Then she took the seat next to Luo Ning.
Luo Ning took the lemon juice, “Thanks!”
She put the straw in and took a sip; it was indeed the sweet and sour taste she liked.
“Thanks!” Ji Xinghang responded more indifferently, placing the watermelon juice on the table without drinking it and continued watching Lu Xun act.
Lou Ranran wasn’t concerned about Ji Xinghang’s indifference and started chatting with Luo Ning.
After a while, Luo Ning asked with a smile, “Are you from Nanhai City?”
Lou Ranran was taken aback for a moment and then asked with a smile, “Teacher Luo, how did you know?”
Luo Ning replied, “Your accent sounds a bit like it.”
Lou Ranran laughed, “So it was the accent. I was indeed born in Nanhai City.”
“What made you think of acting?” Luo Ning asked.
Lou Ranran, a bit embarrassed, replied, “I had a dream of being a star since I was a child.”
“At home, I actually had a performance teacher teach me, but I never had the chance to act.”
“This time, I heard that my uncle by marriage was producing a play, so I volunteered and then came over to audition; I didn’t expect to get through.”
“So, I wanted to fulfill my childhood dream of being a star.”
Her eyes shone as she continued to Luo Ning, “I really like both you and Lu.”
Luo Ning’s lips curved up, “Is that so? Then we really are fated.”
She added silently in her heart, but perhaps it’s a cursed fate.
