Gratitude

Zhang Liqin woke up.

She slept soundly and peacefully; the terrifying events of yesterday did not have much of an impact on her.

Although she still feels a pang of fear when she thinks about it occasionally, the man beside her gives her a strong sense of security.

Why aren't you asleep yet?

She slept soundly, but felt unwell after waking up.

I don't know if it was because I helped move bricks yesterday, or for some other reason, but I only slightly raised my head to look at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian were half-closed, not asleep. He was like a dozing tiger or wolf, always on high alert.

"I can't sleep."

He sensed Zhang Liqin's restlessness and opened his eyes.

"You're so rich, so young, and so capable, why are you still working so hard?"

Zhang Liqin murmured softly, with a languid air.

Yang Jian, "This is my business, you don't need to concern yourself with it, but I apologize for what happened yesterday."

Since becoming Ghost Tamer, his needs have been suppressed to a minimum, to the point that he can't even feel them. The closer he gets to the edge of resurrection, the greater his own influence becomes.

After all, ghosts don't have emotions or desires, and Yang Jian had been trying to emulate that.

But recently, he felt that some things he had lost had returned, or perhaps the ghost within him had undergone some change, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"It's alright, just don't tell anyone about this, keep it a secret for me." Zhang Liqin smiled slightly.

"I will. Are you still going to sleep? I have things to do today, so I have to get up," Yang Jian.

Zhang Liqin gave her a slight reproachful look; "What, does being with a woman older than you make you feel so uncomfortable? I may not be as pretty as your girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I'll lose interest after I've had my way with her, does it?"

"You men are all the same."

After saying that, she realized her tone was a bit off, sounding like a spoiled, jealous woman, so she changed her words, saying, "But I have to go to work today, and I still need to help you with some paperwork later. What time is it now?"

"It's past ten o'clock," Yang Jian.

"It's so late?"

Zhang Liqin was startled. She quickly got up, picked up a bath towel from the ground, wrapped it around herself, and then checked if yesterday's clothes were dry.

Yang Jian smiled and said, "Have you considered working for me? You can state your salary requirements."

"Okay, no need."

Zhang Liqin was about to agree, but then panicked and quickly shook her head in refusal.

"Is there something you're having trouble telling me?" Yang Jian asked.

"This has nothing to do with you," Zhang Liqin said, blushing. "Don't you have a girlfriend? Why are you bothering me? We're not even close; we've only met twice."

"You've got it wrong. She's my employee. My relationship with her is completely platonic; nothing has happened between us," Yang Jian said confidently. "Besides, it's a bit unreasonable for you to say we're not close. I'm the one who saved your life."

"Then I really should thank you."

Zhang Liqin gritted her teeth, glared at Yang Jian, and revealed a woman's charm. "But you can't keep me here because of this, can you?"

"That's a real shame. Since you don't agree, then forget it. Take your time getting dressed. I'm going out." Yang Jian shook his head and prepared to leave.

"Etc."

Zhang Liqin suddenly asked suspiciously, "Did you take pictures of me yesterday?"

Rich people are often twisted; she didn't want Yang Jian to control her life.

Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment and said, "Are you kidding me? Would I do something so immoral? I'm a very upright and honest person, so I absolutely did not take any photos."

"That's good." Zhang Liqin breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I recorded a video," Yang Jian.

"..." Zhang Liqin's eyes widened suddenly.

"Just kidding," Yang Jian chuckled. "Do you think I had time to take photos yesterday?"

Zhang Liqin thought for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yang Jian arrived at the living room on the first floor, he saw Zhang Wei and Jiang Yan sitting there with dark circles under their eyes, yawning from time to time.

"What's wrong with you? You look exhausted, like you haven't slept all night," Yang Jian asked curiously as he walked over.

Jiang Yan looked at Yang Jian with a resentful expression. "How dare you say that? You left me alone in the room, scaring me so much I couldn't sleep all night! Didn't you say this place was haunted? You dare to stay in a haunted house? If this continues, I'll go crazy! Where did you go yesterday? Did you sneak away by yourself?"

"You don't need to worry too much. The paranormal events here will be resolved. If you don't want to live here anymore, you can move out anytime. Your apartment is still empty, you can move back there," Yang Jian.

"I'm not going," Jiang Yan said, pouting.

Zhang Wei, standing to the side, yawned and said, "I stayed up all night, and I feel so empty. Brother Leg, you didn't even play with me."

"I was very busy yesterday too," Yang Jian said, then glanced at Zhang Liqin who came out.

Zhang Liqin looked somewhat uneasy, her gaze darting away, avoiding eye contact with Yang Jian. She approached with a stack of documents and said, "If you have time, why don't you sign this car purchase contract first? Also, regarding the license plate, I'm wondering if you'd like to get it done at our dealership, or go get it yourself?"

"If you're doing it at the store, I have special software that lets you choose your license plate."

"The license plate is up to you, you decide." Yang Jian picked up the pen and signed.

Zhang Liqin squatted down beside her and pointed, saying, "You need to sign here too. Miss Jiang has already paid the money; here are the invoice and receipt. The insurance has also been arranged in advance."

"How many days will it take for the license plate to arrive?" Yang Jian asked.

"If it's handled by an agent, it will take about three days. There might be some delays in some cases, but it will definitely be completed within seven working days, so please rest assured," Zhang Liqin said patiently.

After everything was settled, she said somewhat guiltily, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Okay, you don't need me to deliver it, right?" Yang Jian.

"No, no need," Zhang Liqin said.

Yang Jian, "Remember to send me the license plate in a few days; I need the car urgently."

Zhang Liqin glanced back, and seeing Yang Jian's knowing look, she blushed and stammered, "I'll try my best."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After leaving the villa, Zhang Liqin finally felt relieved, patted her chest, and felt her heart beating very fast.

The thought of having to make house calls again in a few days made her feel extremely anxious.

"There's a problem." Jiang Yan looked at Yang Jian and the departing female salesperson with a strange expression.

When did Yang Jian become so polite to women?

I've suffered a lot of mistreatment from him these past few days.

"Zhang Wei, when is your dad coming? We need to spend some time dealing with your matter today. Although your problem doesn't seem big at first glance, it's still a potential problem." Yang Jian ignored Jiang Yan's suspicious gaze.

"He said he'd be back at noon," Zhang Wei said.

Yang Jian, "There are still two or three hours left, let's go eat first."
