Zhao Xi remained noncommittal and said, "Don't you know that a woman's destiny in life is to marry a good man? Xu Fei, you're a good man. Since you love him and he loves you, marriage is a matter of time. After all, you're almost 30! Could it be that you're just playing around with him? If that's the case, I misjudged you!"

How come this Zhao Xi is even harder to please than Ning Xue! Moreover, the more she talks, the more caught off guard she is. I’m afraid if she continues, I’m going to jump off the building! Helplessly, she nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll take Xiaomo to the bridal shop sometime. As for the wedding…”

Zhao Xi seemed to have been waiting for me to say this. She smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, I will make your wedding a grand one! At the very least, everyone in Jiangzhou should know about it! Don't worry about the expenses. You don't need to worry at all. I am now the chairman of the Luo Group, and the group name has been transferred to me, becoming the Zhao Group. So, money is not a problem at all."

"Zhao Group? Where is Luo Qingguo? Won't you get sued for doing this?" I was shocked.

"He... is gone."

"Gone?"

Zhao Xi said sadly, "Before he passed away, he wrote down all his final plans in his will. He was also the one who transferred the Luo Group to my name. In other words, I am the legitimate heir to his entire legacy."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good! I thought you were usurping the throne! If you get sued, I won't be able to protect you!"

"If even you don't protect me, then no one else will. Well, I'll go look for a more tasteful bridal shop these days and contact you then. It's late, I'm going back to bed first, you should go to bed early too, good night."

Without giving me a chance to breathe, Zhao Xi opened the door and went out.

I felt helpless. She didn't know that Su Xiaoniu and I only had one year together... But this was also out of her good intentions. Besides, even if there was only one day left, I could still put on a wedding dress for my beloved girl and walk down the aisle...

Su Xiaoniu had fallen asleep peacefully. Looking at her sleeping face, my mood unconsciously improved. However, just as I was about to go to bed, Zhao Xi's scream suddenly came from outside, which startled me out of bed.

Without a word, I rushed out of the room and ran towards the source of the sound. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed across the dark corridor at an extremely fast speed, disappearing into the darkness in an instant. It looked like the shadow had just floated down from upstairs. This villa has three floors. Su Xiaoniu and I have a guest room on the second floor, and Zhao Xi's master bedroom is on the third floor.

The black shadow floated down from the third floor, and the scream came from Zhao Xi. My brows immediately frowned. Something must have happened to Zhao Xi!

When I ran to the third floor, I checked almost every room inside and outside the building, even the bathroom, but there was no sign of Zhao Xi. The rooms on the second and third floors of the villa both had a balcony, so I climbed up to the balcony.

It was a dark night and the cold wind was howling.

There was not a trace of moonlight in the sky.

I found Zhao Xi on the balcony. She seemed to have fainted, lying there motionless. She was still wearing that lace pajamas. It seemed that she had said goodnight to me and returned to the bedroom, preparing to go to sleep, when something led her to the balcony and she fainted.

This is just my personal guess. I don't know what exactly is scaring Zhao Xi. Could it be the black shadow that just flew by? What was that black shadow? It was too fast for me to see clearly.

Shaking my head, I carried Zhao Xi to the bed in the room and covered her with a blanket. Fortunately, she was not in danger of death. Little Sifei, who had already fallen asleep in bed, opened her eyes and said to me, "Just now, I felt something unclean floating in the room..."

I asked her what it was, but Sifei just shook her head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person now, I can't see clearly. Mom was led out by that ugly thing, and then she screamed and fainted from fright."

I frowned. What kind of person is so arrogant that he dares to scare Zhao Xi in front of me? Don't get caught by me, or I'll scare you to death!

I told Concubine Si to have a good sleep and I will ask Zhao Xi tomorrow to make a final decision.

After covering the mother and daughter with the quilt and closing the door, I went back downstairs to sleep with Su Xiaoniu.

The next day, Zhao Xi treated us to dinner, and I asked her about the time she fainted the night before. Zhao Xi's face darkened. "I didn't see it clearly, but I'm sure it was a ghost! I saw it floating around in front of me, and then suddenly it appeared in front of me, with an ugly face smiling creepily at me... That smile was so terrifying, it still gives me chills when I think about it."

I asked curiously, "Did he say anything to you?"

Zhao Xi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not really. When he appeared in front of me, I was so frightened that I couldn't help but scream, and then I fainted... I don't even know if he said anything."

I find this a bit odd. If it was a ghost, was it just out to scare people and then run away? What the hell, after having nothing to do? If the ghost had a purpose, then after it frightened Zhao Xi unconscious, it didn't do anything to her, and nothing was stolen from the house. It's safe to say it wasn't a robbery!

So what is it for?

After eating and drinking her fill, Su Xiaoniu stretched lazily and said, "Maybe it was just a playful kid who came out to play and accidentally bumped into him. It's that simple."

As expected of Su Xiaonu, no matter what she does or what she thinks, she is so simple! So rough!

But I always felt it wouldn't be that simple. Seeing that I was worried, Su Xiaoniu told me a method and taught me a calming talisman. Then she picked a peach branch and put it inside the calming talisman. She told Zhao Xi to put the peach branch and the calming talisman under his pillow before going to bed.
