Gu Lili refused, "Why should I?!"
"Just because you scared me."
"It’s your own fault for being cowardly, and you blame me?" Gu Lili shrugged off his hand, "Back off, men and women shouldn’t touch."
Gu Xichen gripped tightly, "I won’t." Chapters fırst released on N0velFire.ɴet
Gu Lili was really at a loss for words, "Mr. Ye, I’ll come to your place tomorrow night. Your mother said she would be there waiting for me, shall we meet tomorrow night?"
Ye Yan nodded his head, his voice hoarse as he replied, "Okay, I’ll wait for you at home tomorrow night. What’s your phone number?"
After exchanging numbers, the three of them left the place and headed to the car, with Gu Xichen’s hand never leaving her arm.
"Your car is parked right there, wouldn’t it be better if you drive back yourself?"
"I want you to take me." Gu Xichen sat in the passenger seat, one hand holding her arm, the other calling his people to drive his car back.
"I’ll take you, but not for free, ten thousand yuan."
Gu Xichen, distressed, asked, "Are you a profiteer? Gu Lili, I’m practically like a brother to you, and you want to charge me money to take me home?"
"Even clear accounts make for good brothers." She couldn’t pass up any opportunity to rightfully fleece him.
"Alright, alright, ten thousand it is, let’s go."
Gu Lili buckled up and drove away.
"This evening really was an eye-opener, how is earning money so easy for you?"
"Easy, you say?" she asked, "Having to deal with ghosts I don’t like, don’t think that just because I’ve become immune means I can do whatever I want."
"I wonder why my mum never thought of making money this way?" Gu Xichen pondered, "If she had, perhaps she could have made money faster than my dad."
"People say it’s unlucky and ill-fated, the master thought so too, so he stayed up in the mountains and never thought about making money from it. I only got the idea after earning ten million from Gu’s mother, and besides, Gu Xichen, don’t think having this ability means you can recklessly make a fortune..." she glanced at him, "I still don’t like interacting with the dead, but one thing’s for sure, I feel more confident now knowing I carry a walking wallet with me. Whenever I’m out of money, I’ll just dip into it, why not enjoy it?"
Gu Xichen looked at her profile, suddenly resting his head on her shoulder.
"Hands are one thing, but what’s with this head? Get your head off me, I’m driving!"
He remained motionless, mumbling, "I’m not happy."
"I’m even less happy!"
She focused on the road ahead, shrugged her shoulders, but Gu Xichen’s head was like glued to her shoulder, impossible to shake off.
Just as Gu Lili was about to pull over to the side of the road, he suddenly sat up straight.
"Before, when you kept vigil with me, you knew the master came back too, why weren’t you this scared then? Just a painting scares you , I’m baffled..."
"It’s your painting that’s scary, every time I think about the ghost from the painting lurking around me, it just creeps me out, especially since you said Ye Yan’s mom has always been with him, it freaks me out even more... You know, he and I are good friends, we meet up and hang out often. Plus, when I kept vigil with you, it was my mom, just like Ye Yan with his mom, although he was a bit scared, he still wanted to be close to her."
