Chapter 63: Chapter 60: The Background of Chu Yan; Ghost Seeks Help (Additional Release)

Chu Yan’s breath was within inches, carrying a faint scent of disinfectant mixed with a hint of medicinal aroma, refined and pleasant.

The somber gaze from Qin Zhao made her unable to meet his eyes, and she quickly pushed him away a bit.

"What were you dreaming about? Did you forget that we are getting a divorce soon?"

"Anyway, we’re not divorced yet, it won’t hurt to call me that."

"Heh."

Asshole, what are you thinking?

Qin Zhao glared at him coldly, "You might as well post your photo online. There will be plenty of girls calling you ’hubby.’ I’m sure you’d love that."

"It’s not as fun as hearing you say it," Chu Yan replied with a slight smile, radiating elegance and pride.

Qin Zhao decided to leave, not bothering to deal with him.

Chu Yan carelessly reached out, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her back, looking down at her.

"It’s awkward out here, how about you call me that tonight when we go back? Last time you drugged me, I was completely unaware, and I always felt at a loss."

She turned her head and saw his face looking innocent and regretful.

Qin Zhao was gritting her teeth, "Nothing happened last time!"

"That drug only works through intercourse. If nothing happened, then how did you cure me?"

After calming down, Chu Yan went to the hospital for a blood test and found traces of the drug in his body.

He guessed that he left in such a rush that day, he must have accidentally left a packet at home.

"I..."

Thinking of that day, Qin Zhao’s cheeks flushed. How could she ever speak of such a thing?

"Hmm?"

Chu Yan moved closer to her once again, his icy phoenix eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.

"Zhaozhao, tell me about it."

His voice was soft like a gentle breeze, tantalizingly persuasive.

His handsome face was close to Qin Zhao’s cheek; just a slight tilt and he could kiss her, obviously feeling the heat from her flushed face.

What guilty conscience? Why else would her face be so hot?

"I randomly found a woman for you!"

Qin Zhao thought hard and finally came up with that excuse.

If she had to admit she resolved the issue with her hand, she’d likely want to crawl into a hole.

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, "I checked the surveillance outside your house that day, and no one had come. The woman you’re talking about, could it be you yourself?"

This guy was too shrewd, Qin Zhao could not easily fool him.

"I already said it wasn’t!"

Qin Zhao was furious, her high heels stomping on his foot and she forcefully pushed him away.

Thud, thud, thud.

She angrily walked away in her high heels.

Chu Yan stood still, watching her leave, and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Behind him was a window, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a familiar silhouette.

Chu Yan’s smile instantly disappeared, turning his phoenix eyes gloomy, his features as cold as frost.

Chairman Ruan was exceedingly polite to the man, "Mr. Lu, I didn’t expect you to attend my little girl’s birthday party. It truly honors our Ruan family."

Lu Zhiheng looked indifferent, hardly deeming the Ruan family worth his attention.

"The election has reached its most competitive stage, you should know what to do."

"Naturally, we’ve all been waiting for this day, and have already prepared everything for Mr. Lu."

"If my father wins, your family’s good days are yet to come."

Six years ago, if not for the trouble caused by that bastard Chu Yan, this matter would have been resolved.

Chu Yan filed a lawsuit to the Supreme Court, accusing Mr. Lu of bigamy, sparking a strong public reaction and forcing him to withdraw from the election.

Bigamy? Hah...

Zhiheng recalled an event from many years ago, a hint of irony surfacing in his eyes.

Just a country woman with no education, a wedding was barely held in the village. Was that even considered a marriage?

His parents were legally married with a marriage certificate, now they were a legitimate couple.

Luckily, that woman died, or she would have been a stain on his father’s life forever.

"Make sure to keep an eye on those things, we can’t afford any mistakes this time."

Zhiheng snapped back to reality and repeated the instruction.

"Okay, okay."

-

Qin Zhao had planned to leave the Ruan Family, as there seemed to be nothing for her.

But just as she reached the resting room corridor on the first floor, a soul drifted towards her.

"Sir, could you please help me? Please help me!"

It was the female ghost that had been haunting Ruan Xing, and she seemed to have encountered something terrible as her resentful energy was visibly increasing.

If such a female ghost came into contact with blood, she could turn into a very fierce evil ghost in the blink of an eye.

"Wahhh!"

From a nearby room came the sound of a baby crying.

"Ruan Xing! I’m going to kill you!"

The female ghost’s eyes instantly turned blood red, and her aura became incredibly fierce.

Before Qin Zhao could even ask what was happening, she instantly flew back to the original room.

An eight-year-old girl stood by a crib, reaching her hand out to strangle the baby inside.

This girl was Ruan Xing, the Ruan Family’s little princess, and the baby’s cheeks were turning purple.

A gleeful smile spread across Ruan Xing’s face.

"Little wretch, once you’re dead, big brother will only have eyes for me."

"Let go of my child!"

The female ghost rushed towards Ruan Xing, but a golden light suddenly shone from Ruan Xing’s body, acting like a talisman and repelling the female ghost.

Qin Zhao was standing at the doorway when she projected a burst of Spiritual Power towards Ruan Xing’s wrist, causing her to let go.

At that moment, a servant entered.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

Ruan Xing took a step back, stammering.

The servant, who was specifically responsible for the baby, stepped forward and noticed the baby’s purple complexion, her own face turning pale.

"What have you done to Young Master Sun? Why is his breathing so weak!"

The servant tried to pick up the child, but Ruan Xing suddenly pushed her away.

With a fierce expression, she said, "This is my family’s business, you’d better not meddle as a servant!"

"I am in charge of taking care of Young Master Sun, and I’m taking him to the hospital!"

Ruan Xing frantically walked towards the door but suddenly stopped.

"Waaah!" She burst into loud cries, "Someone help! Someone is hurting Xiao Yu, come help Xiao Yu!"

Qin Zhao was just at the door; Ruan Xing rushed over and grabbed her hand.

"Sister, you must help! She’s trying to strangle Xiao Yu!"

Ruan Xing angrily pointed towards the servant, and by now, several servants and guests had started to approach after hearing Ruan Xing cry, hastening their steps.

Qin Zhao shook off her hand and said coldly, "Such malice at such a young age."

"You... you know too?" Ruan Xing paused, looking at her incredulously.

"Xingxing, what happened?"

"Miss, what happened? Are you okay?"

Ruan Xing secretly glared at Qin Zhao, then plaintively told the others, "I just wanted to check on Xiao Yu, and then I saw her strangling Xiao Yu’s neck."

Ruan Xing first pointed at the servant holding the child in the room, then looked towards Qin Zhao.

"I tried to stop her, but this sister wouldn’t let me, that’s why I cried."
