Upon hearing Huo Jixiu's words, Mu Tiantian remembered that he could use ghost magic.

So he overheard her conversation with Gu Yichen.

After thinking for a while, Mu Tiantian, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, told the truth about Han Muqi asking her to be Gu Yichen's white moonlight substitute.

"I just think, how can I earn ten million just by having a meal and chatting? It's like a huge pie falling from the sky. Only a fool wouldn't take it," Mu Tiantian finally defended herself.

Huo Jixiu felt depressed; he had plenty of ten million.

He offered her money at the airport, but she refused. Did he think it wasn't enough?

Why does he have to go and make money off Gu Yichen?

Mu Tiantian thought for a moment and realized that her contract with Gu Yichen should be terminated. She felt it was necessary to explain clearly, "However, I should terminate the contract with him in the next day or two. I'm not very good at this kind of job of being someone else's substitute."

Huo Jixiu felt much better upon hearing this. The wrist in his palm was fair, smooth, soft, and boneless, and seemed like it would be easy to squeeze.

And he couldn't help but do it.

Mu Tiantian looked down at her hand being played with, blinked, and wondered if they were using her hand as a Buddhist prayer bead.

Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Huo Jixiu slowly spoke, "Aren't you curious how I heard you talking? And this resentment I exude is so strong that even ghosts are afraid of it. Don't you want to know why? Or do you already know?"

Mu Tiantian's heart skipped a beat when he asked her the question. It wasn't that she was unwilling to tell him the truth.

She was genuinely scared.

Back then, when he found out she had given Gu Yichen a jade Guanyin, he not only fought with Gu Yichen but also caused her to experience sleep paralysis.

His mournful voice echoed throughout the room, "Why did you give him a gift? Why did you let him get close to you? Why did you become friends with him? Isn't it enough that I'm by your side? Why did you smile at him? You are mine... mine alone... Why don't I just kill you now and we become a ghost couple? That way we can be together forever."

When Mu Tiantian heard his words, she was startled. When she saw him actually put his hands on her neck, she hurriedly reminded him, "Have you forgotten that you are still alive? Didn't you say that you would marry me after you regained consciousness, and that we would grow old together? Wouldn't that be better?"

Huo Jixiu pressed her down firmly, and his hands on her neck also stopped.

A glint flashed in his eyes, but he still looked resentful. "But people's lifespans are very short."

Mu Tiantian coaxed, "Although it's short, it's very exciting. Think about it, after we get married, we can go wherever we want without any restrictions. But if we become ghosts, there are many places we can't go. What if we're caught by an exorcist and they take us both?"

"Go wherever you want... then we can also live somewhere just the two of us, right?"

"right."

What if you change your mind?

Mu Tiantian countered, "What if you change your mind first?"

“Then kill me, and then kill yourself. Similarly, if you change your mind, I will kill you,” Huo Jixiu said quietly. “You promised before that we would be husband and wife, whether in life or in death.”

"But...their hearts have changed. Even if they become ghosts, they can't be husband and wife anymore," Mu Tiantian said cautiously.

Huo Jixiu frowned, his mood unusually low. "Don't you trust me, or are you not confident that you will love me for a lifetime?"

Mu Tiantian sensed his resentment rising rapidly, so she quickly tried to appease him, saying, "I didn't. I believe you. I'm very confident that I can spend my whole life with you, but you're full of resentment right now and can't go back into your body. How can we spend our whole life together? So please calm down first."

"Wait a couple of days, and once the resentment in your body is gone, I'll have a way to let you into my body. Once you're awake, we can get married," Mu Tiantian earnestly advised, giving him a kiss as she spoke.

Huo Jixiu calmed down, his resentment gradually diminishing. "Fine, you say it."

Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything was fine, and wanted to get out of bed and walk around.

But he remained on top of her, preventing her from moving.

All I heard him say was, "You stay with me, you're not allowed to go anywhere, and you're not allowed to see Gu Yichen."

"Okay, I'll stay with you. I won't go out. You don't need to hold me down like this. I can't move at all."

"I don't want you to run around."

Mu Tiantian promised, "I'll stay at home and not go anywhere, really."

Even with her assurances, Huo Jixiu still wouldn't let her go. Aside from normal eating, drinking, and relieving himself, he would still subject her to sleep paralysis and relentlessly harass her.

Three whole days.

She was only freed after he had calmed down and took him to the hospital.

When Mu Tiantian thought about how he had really been so extreme and even had the idea of ​​killing her, she felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but touch her neck.

Seeing her staring at him in a daze, Huo Jixiu figured his words must have come true.

He asserted, "So, you already knew about my situation, and you pretended not to recognize me at the airport that day, right?"

Mu Tiantian snapped out of her daze upon hearing the sound and was trying to figure out how to explain.

Yang Han's car stopped in front of a villa. "Mr. Huo, we've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian quickly shifted her gaze to Yang Han, "Have we arrived? Then hurry up and take him inside to rest."

Huo Jixiu held onto her wrist tightly, saying, "Come inside with me."

"This...isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Mu Tiantian wasn't mentally prepared to tell him the truth.

"Have you forgotten you owe me a favor? Don't you want to earn this money anymore?"

Mu Tiantian thought for a moment, and it seemed like there was such a thing. "What kind of help?"

"Come in with me first, or you'll have to answer my question from earlier." Huo Jixiu stared directly at her, his sharp blue eyes seeming to see right through her.

"Okay, I'll go in with you." Mu Tiantian didn't refuse again and agreed readily.

It's clear she really didn't want to answer those questions.

Huo Jixiu didn't say anything, and grabbed her wrist to enter the villa.

Yang Han pushed the wheelchair without saying a word.

After arriving at the bedroom, Yang Han pushed Huo Jixiu into the bathroom and then came out.

Mu Tiantian asked, "Don't you need to keep an eye on him?"

Yang Han explained, "Although President Huo has difficulty moving around, there are specially made tools for him to use in the bathroom, so he can manage on his own. Besides, he doesn't like others helping him with his grooming."

Mu Tiantian nodded, admiring him in her heart.

Yang Han glanced at his watch and pleaded, "Miss Mu, I still have work to do. I hope you can take care of President Huo here."

"No, what if I have to leave later?" In this situation, Mu Tiantian dared not be alone with him.

She had a bad feeling about the favor Huo Jixiu asked her to do.

"I'm running out of time. Miss Mu, just call me if you have any questions. I have to go now." After saying that, Yang Han hurriedly grabbed his briefcase and walked out of the bedroom, not giving Mu Tiantian a chance to stop him.

After everyone left, the room was unusually quiet.

The only sound was the rushing water from the bathroom.

There was no one else in the huge villa besides her and Huo Jixiu.

Mu Tiantian felt a little nervous and muttered to herself, "Such a big villa and they don't even have a housekeeper."

Huo Jixiu overheard her words from inside the bathroom.
