Zhang Liqin woke up.
She had slept very soundly and securely, the terrifying events of the previous day hadn’t greatly affected her mind.
Even though her heart would still palpitate when she occasionally recalled it, the man by her side had given her a strong sense of safety.
"Why haven’t you slept yet?"
She might have slept soundly, but she did not feel comfortable upon waking up.
She wasn’t sure if it was because of helping out with brick moving yesterday or for so other reason... She just slightly raised her head to glance at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian had his eyes half closed, half-open, and wasn’t asleep; he resembled a dozing tiger or wolf, maintaining vigilance at all tis.
"I can’t sleep."
He sensed Zhang Liqin’s restlessness and opened his eyes.
"You’re so wealthy, so young, and so powerful, why push yourself so hard?"
Zhang Liqin murmured, displaying a lazy posture.
Yang Jian said, "That’s my business, you don’t need to worry about it. However, I apologize for yesterday, I was impulsive."
Ever since he beca a ghost controller, his needs had been suppressed to the lowest, almost imperceptible level—the closer he got to the edge of awakening, the greater his own impact.
After all, ghosts lack the seven emotions and six desires, and Yang Jian had been approaching that state before.
But recently, he felt that so of the things he had lost were coming back, or perhaps there was so change within the ghost in his body. He couldn’t quite tell.
"It’s fine, just don’t talk about it, keep it a secret for ," Zhang Liqin said with a slight smile.
"I will. Do you want to sleep more? I have things to do today and need to get up," Yang Jian said.
Zhang Liqin glared at him slightly, "What, is being with a woman older than you that uncomfortable? I may not be as pretty as your girlfriend, but I’m not so uninteresting that you’d lose interest after one ti, right?"
"You n are all the sa."
After speaking, she felt her tone was sowhat inappropriate, as if she were a jealous, coquettish young woman, then she changed the subject, "But I have to go to work today, and later I need to help you with so procedures. What ti is it now?"
"It’s past ten," Yang Jian said.
"This late?"
Zhang Liqin was startled, hurriedly got up, picked up a towel from the floor to wrap around herself, and then checked to see if yesterday’s clothes were dry.
Yang Jian said with a smile, "Have you considered working for ? You can na your salary requirents."
"Sure... no, no need."
Zhang Liqin was about to agree but then beca sowhat panic-stricken and quickly shook her head in refusal.
"Do you have a difficult secret?" Yang Jian asked.
"It’s none of your business," Zhang Liqin said with a flushed face. "Don’t you have a girlfriend? Why hassle , I’m not even close to you, we’ve only t twice."
"You’re mistaken, she’s my employee, and my relationship with her is very pure, nothing inappropriate has happened," Yang Jian assured earnestly. "And to say we’re not close is not quite right—I did save your life, after all."
"Then I really should thank you,"
Zhang Liqin bit her lip, gave Yang Jian a displeased look, and showed the charm of a woman, "But you can’t expect to keep just because of that."
"That’s truly a pity, but if you don’t agree, then let’s leave it at that. Take your ti getting dressed; I’ll be going out," Yang Jian shook his head, ready to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Liqin suddenly asked with suspicion, "Did you, take any photos of yesterday?"
```
Wealthy people can be such freaks, and she definitely didn’t want to be controlled by Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was stunned for a mont before saying, "What are you joking about? Would I do sothing so immoral? No matter what, I’m a very upright and honest person, so I absolutely didn’t take any pictures."
"That’s good to hear," Zhang Liqin sighed in relief.
"But I did take a video," Yang Jian said.
"..." Zhang Liqin’s eyes widened in shock.
"Just kidding," Yang Jian laughed. "Do you think I had ti to take pictures yesterday?"
Zhang Liqin thought about it and finally relaxed.
When Yang Jian ca down to the living room on the first floor, he saw Zhang Wei and Jiang Yan with dark circles under their eyes, yawning from ti to ti.
"What’s wrong with you guys? You look exhausted, like you haven’t slept all night," Yang Jian asked curiously as he walked over.
With a look of grievance, Jiang Yan glared at Yang Jian: "You have so nerve! Leaving alone in the room, I was so scared I couldn’t sleep all night. Didn’t you say there were ghosts here? You dare to stay in a haunted house. If it keeps up like this, I’m going to go mad. Where did you go yesterday?
Did you sneak out by yourself?"
"You don’t need to worry too much. The supernatural events here will be taken care of. If you don’t want to stay, you can move out anyti. Isn’t your apartnt still vacant? You can move back there if you like," Yang Jian said.
"I’m not going back," Jiang Yan pouted.
anwhile, Zhang Wei, yawning, said, "Stayed up all night, I’m feeling so empty, Brother Tui didn’t keep company to have so fun."
"I was busy yesterday too," Yang Jian said, then glanced at Zhang Liqin who had co out.
Zhang Liqin’s face looked a bit unnatural, her gaze darting about, avoiding Yang Jian’s eyes. She approached with a stack of docunts, "If you’re free, you might as well sign this car purchase contract. Also, for the car plate registration, I don’t know if you want to handle it through our dealership or do it yourself?"
"If you’re registering through the dealership, I have a special software here that you can use to pick a license plate."
"Any license plate is fine, just handle it," Yang Jian said as he picked up a pen and signed.
Zhang Liqin crouched down and pointed out, "You also need to sign here. Miss Jiang has already made the paynt. Here is the invoice and receipt, and the insurance has also been arranged in advance."
"How long will it take for the license plate to arrive?" Yang Jian asked.
"If we’re handling it, it should take about three days, but there might be delays in so cases. However, it will definitely be done within seven working days, please don’t worry," Zhang Liqin explained patiently.
After everything was handled, she said with a guilty conscience, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
"Alright, you don’t need to see you out, do you?" Yang Jian asked.
"No, no need," Zhang Liqin replied.
Yang Jian said, "Rember to deliver my license plate in a few days. I need my car urgently."
Zhang Liqin turned her head and blushed at Yang Jian’s knowing look, stamring, "I... I’ll do my best."
After speaking, she left in a hurry.
Once outside the villa, Zhang Liqin finally felt relieved, patting her chest with her heart racing fast.
Thinking about having to provide door-to-door service again in a few days, she couldn’t help but be overwheld with anxiety.
"There’s a problem," Jiang Yan said with a strange look as she watched Yang Jian and the departing saleswoman.
When had Yang Jian ever been so courteous to won?
In the days she had been with him, she had not been spared from his temper.
"When is your father coming, Zhang Wei? We need to spend so ti sorting out your issue today. Your problem may not seem big now, but it’s always a potential risk," Yang Jian said, ignoring Jiang Yan’s suspicious look.
"He said he’d co around noon," Zhang Wei answered.
Yang Jian said, "That’s still two or three hours away. Let’s go have lunch."
