Chapter 109 Extra 2 "I want you to marry me." Yao Ning said. ...
In an instant, memories of the past came flooding back like a tide, instantly overwhelming him, and all the color disappeared from Yao Ning's face.
Many years ago, under the spring flower tree, she had just lost half her life saving him, and when he saw her, he asked the same question.
"May I have your name?"
It is mid-spring with clear wind and warm days, why is it so cold?
Why go through the same pain twice?
Yao Ning felt like a drowning man, his chest heavy and painful, watching the shore getting farther and farther away.
Can't breathe.
It was dark all around...
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Qian leaned back slightly and looked at the woman in front of him with a little vigilance.
Her face was as pale as gold paper, her lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were deep and indescribable.
Late at night, on a deserted street, a woman in white suddenly appeared in the darkness...it didn't seem normal no matter how you looked at it.
He swallowed and was about to wink at his follower when he saw the woman smile softly.
He was stunned for a moment.
This woman is really beautiful, and her smile is particularly captivating.
"Yao Ning." Her voice was pleasant, soft and clear. She stared into his eyes and spoke slowly and seriously, "My name is Yao Ning."
"Yao Ning." He nodded, "Then Yao Ning, what are you going to do?"
"I..." Yao Ning finally realized her situation. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she said seriously, "I want to get to know you, to be friends with you."
For some reason, although she said these words with a smile, Chen Qian felt that the woman in front of him had a deep sadness that was difficult to dispel.
"Making friends?"
"Yes, making friends."
Chen Qian rolled his eyes, looked at Yao Ning calmly for a moment, and raised the corner of his lips: "Okay, I'll be your friend."
Yao Ning's eyes widened slightly, and his smile became more vivid.
"Well, Yao Ning." Chen Qian said with a smile, "Since we are friends, can you trust me?"
"Of course." Yao Ning's voice was filled with indescribable emotions. "As long as you come back, I will listen to you in everything."
Chen Qian frowned, but soon relaxed: "In that case, you see, I'm rushing to a shop to collect rent. If I'm late, they'll be closed..."
Yao Ning looked at him from beginning to end with eyes that looked like she was about to cry, and didn't seem to care what he said.
"...That's the thing. How about you wait here for a while? I'll come back and take you home after I collect the rent."
Yao Ning blinked, as if he began to recall what he had said before, and after a while he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Chen Qian: "Okay."
Chen Qian looked at Yao Ning, but she was still looking at him, and that look made him feel quite uncomfortable.
He coughed and signaled her hand with his eyes: "Then let go first."
Yao Ning was reluctant, but still lowered the curtain.
Seeing that she was still standing in front, Chen Qian said, "Go wait by the roadside."
Yao Ning stepped back and stood by the roadside.
Chen Qian said: "I will come to pick you up later."
"good."
The four sedan bearers were still in shock and quickly carried the sedan away.
Yao Ning watched Chen Qian disappear at the end of the long street. The coolness of the spring night gradually rose, and she shivered, but still stood there motionless.
Time passed little by little, and the night watchman's clapper rang three times.
The person Chen Qian was collecting rent from seemed to be particularly difficult to deal with, so much so that even at dawn, when a layer of frost hung on Yao Ning's eyebrows, he still hadn't returned.
Gradually, more and more people came onto the long street, shouts were heard everywhere, and the atmosphere of life spread.
Yao Ning finally moved.
She moved her stiff legs and slowly walked into the crowd.
*
That night, Chen Qian checked the accounts three times in the accounting office and confirmed that today was another day of great financial success. Only then did he pat his waist with satisfaction and return to his room.
As the door opened, he froze in place.
Yao Ning was sitting inside, drinking tea as if no one was around. Seeing him, he smiled and said, "You're back."
Chen Qian's gaze changed several times, but he finally swallowed the cry of "catch the thief" that was about to come out of his mouth. He looked Yao Ning up and down several times and showed a meaningful smile.
He walked in and sat down next to Yao Ning: "How did you get here?"
"A tracking talisman, a pretty simple talisman." Yao Ning said.
Chen Qian seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed several times.
Yao Ning seemed to have great patience with him. When they met, he neither blamed him nor got angry at his obvious scheming.
"Why are you here?" Shen Qian asked.
"I told you I want to get to know you and make friends with you," Yao Ning said. "I've already done the former, and the next step is making friends."
Shen Qian frowned: "You don't even know my name."
"Chen Qian." Yao Ning said, "Your name is Chen Qian."
Chen Qian looked at Yao Ning with increasing vigilance: "Oh? What do you want me to do by making friends?"
Yao Ning opened his mouth and said after a while: "I don't need you to do anything, as long as it's you."
The woman in front of him must be an extraordinary person, and her purpose is unclear and unpredictable. It is hard to tell whether she is an enemy or a friend. Chen Qian knew it was best not to provoke her, but he also couldn't get entangled with her.
He then said, "Miss, you are a beautiful lady. I am honored to have you as my friend. But there is a difference between you and me, and I am already married..."
"Not anymore." Yao Ning said.
"I'm already married, and with other women... wait, wait a minute, what do you mean 'not anymore'?!" Chen Qian looked confused.
"The marriage you're talking about is the sixteen-year-old daughter of the owner of Tongxing Pawnshop, the Gao family, right?"
Shen Qian swallowed and said, "How did you know? No, why are you Miss Gao? What did you do?"
Yao Ning smiled and answered his questions one by one slowly.
"What I mean by 'not having it now' is that I have ruined your marriage."
"How did you know? Of course I asked the neighbors."
"I didn't harm Miss Gao. I simply entered her dream at noon and told her you were already married, with a wife who had endured all the hardships. When Miss Gao woke up, she told her father she didn't want to marry you. Although her father coveted your wealth, he doted on his precious daughter more. I think he'll bring a generous gift tomorrow to break off the engagement."
Chen Qian took two steps back and sat down on a chair.
"Do you have a grudge against me?" he asked after a while.
"How could that be?" Yao Ning said sincerely, "No."
This was too hard to believe, and Shen Qian immediately concluded in his heart that this woman had a grudge against him.
But for a moment, he really couldn't remember when he had offended such a person.
He was shocked, suspicious and angry at the moment. He looked at Yao Ning, his lips trembling for a long time, and he couldn't say a word.
Yao Ning thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea and said, "Don't be impatient. Take your time. I will tell you everything you ask."
Shen Qian took a gulp of tea, put the teacup down with a "bang", and said with a frustrated look: "You said I'm already married, ah I'm already married? I'm only 27 years old, in the prime of my life, how could I get married? Even if you have a grudge against me, there's no need to spread rumors and throw dirty water on me like this... Besides, everyone within a ten-mile radius knows that my master, the Shen family, has the most discerning taste. You said I'm married! Then tell me who that person is?!"
Yao Ning was stunned.
Shen Qian said he was twenty-seven years old.
That was clearly the age he was when he died.
Now four years have passed, and Chen Qianying is already in his thirties.
She stared at Chen Qian blankly. He had a handsome face, still the same as before.
But his temperament seems to have changed a lot.
Moreover, he seemed to have some strange resemblance to someone, who was it...
"You can't tell it!" Chen Qian was furious. "There must be a limit to lying. If you say it, others will expose it. How could Miss Gao..."
"It's me." Yao Ning said.
Chen Qian was speechless for a moment, stunned and looking at Yao Ning in fear.
After a while, he came back to his senses and immediately became furious. "You?! Miss, do you know what you are saying? Miss Gao——"
He pointed in the direction of Gao's mansion and said, "That's a legitimate wealthy merchant's daughter. Her pawnshops span three continents, and she has tens of thousands of employees and accountants. She can make that much money in a single day!"
Chen Qian stretched out his thumb and index finger, made a number, and almost poked Yao Ning in the face. He said angrily: "I have been very selective and finally found such a rich and noble family as a good match. You said you would marry me, how could you-"
He was filled with indignation and turned to Yao Ning. Just as he was about to belittle him, his voice involuntarily lowered.
Belatedly, he seemed to realize that the woman was talking about her wife.
Although she doesn't look rich, she is really beautiful and has an extraordinary demeanor. Shen Qian is afraid that even if he searches all the books, he won't be able to find anyone who can surpass her.
Chen Qian's voice faded away, his eyes flickered a few times, and for a moment he didn't dare to look at Yao Ning.
The white jade-like ears turned red in an instant.
He secretly hated himself. How could he lower his spirit at this moment? Didn't he love money the most? How could he be tempted by beauty one day?
This woman is alone and probably doesn't have much property. If I marry her, won't I lose everything?
But considering she's not big, and her clothes are ordinary, she probably doesn't eat much, and doesn't spend much money...
He didn't notice that his thoughts were going dangerously off track.
"Do you love money?" Yao Ning asked.
Shen Qian came back to his senses and snorted: "What's wrong with loving money? As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way..."
"for you."
The sudden appearance of golden light dazzled Chen Qian's eyes. He narrowed them, then opened them wide involuntarily.
In his clear eyes, there was a reflection of a golden ingot that appeared at some unknown time.
Chen Qian's eyes widened immediately, and he uncontrollably took the gold ingot from Yao Ning's hand and weighed it.
A delightful weight, a cool, smooth touch, and impeccable color.
Chen Qian raised his eyes, his eyes sparkling with joy.
Yao Ning asked: "Do you like it?"
Shen Qian couldn't help but say, "I like it."
Worried that he hadn't expressed himself clearly enough, he nodded quickly and said, "I love it!"
Yao Ning smiled.
She finally discovered who Shen Qian looked like.
Chen Ying.
When leaving Xizhou Pavilion yesterday, Chen Ying asked her if she disliked him.
It turned out that her hope rested on him.
She should have thought of it earlier. The Xizhou Pavilion was full of dead prostitutes that day.
How can these ghosts survive in the human world for so long without dissipating? It is probably not just that they absorb yin to replenish yang, but more like someone has gathered their scattered souls.
Gathering spirits.
Could this be Chen Ying's trump card?
Chen Ying and Chen Ying have a close relationship, and Chen Ying's real identity is Song Qingyun. Chen Ying is probably a blood relative of Shen Qian.
This way, everything makes sense.
He was willing to take risks for Shen Qian, gather his soul, and reshape his body for him, but Shen Qian was not an ordinary ghost, so it was naturally impossible to succeed so easily.
The rescued Chen Qian not only had no memories of the past, but was also infected by Chen Ying's personality and became extremely greedy for money.
Chen Qian's eyes turned a few times: "Are you rich? Where did this come from? You see your purse is empty, but you actually have such a big ingot of gold hidden in it!"
In Xizhou Pavilion a few miles away, Boss Chen looked at the gold ingot that suddenly disappeared from his sight with a dazed look on his face.
Yao Ning smiled and said, "Yes, I am very rich."
As she spoke, she reached behind her back and took out another gold ingot.
Chen Qian's eyes were fixed on it, and he went to take it, but halfway through he realized what he was doing and froze for a moment, not knowing whether to extend his hand or retract it.
Yao Ning looked at him tenderly, placed the gold ingot in his open palm, and said softly, "All for you."
Chen Qian held a heavy piece of gold in one hand, and felt his heart pounding. The pleasure brought by money would always make it difficult for him to control himself.
He couldn't help but laugh. Although his eyes were full of money, his red lips, white teeth, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes made his smile particularly charming.
When he regained his senses from the dizzy feeling, Chen Qian realized that the problem before him was still a problem that could not be underestimated.
"My purpose?" Yao Ning raised his eyebrows. "Didn't I tell you from the beginning?"
Chen Qian smiled faintly: "You get what you pay for. The girl has a good background, is beautiful and wealthy, and will respond to any request from Shen. There is no such thing as a losing deal. Why don't we be frank and tell each other what exactly the girl wants from Shen? And let me get your money, and I can sleep peacefully at night."
Yao Ning was stunned. This set of businessman's theories always seemed strange when applied to Shen Qian.
She quickly understood what he meant.
Chen Qian thought this was a deal, so he pursued fairness.
Yao Ning knocked on the table: "Okay, then I won't be polite."
Shen Qian sat up straight.
"I want you to marry me." Yao Ning said.
Shen Qian raised his eyebrows. If she was so rich, it would be a good marriage. He asked decisively, "How much dowry will you bring?"
Yao Ning thought about his accumulation in the Demon Realm and Xuan Qing Sect, and spent some time converting it into silver and money in the human world. He looked at Chen Qian's expression and carefully said a number.
Shen Qian's face was calm, but his eyes were shaking violently.
Yao Ning blinked: "Is it missing? Actually, I still have..."
Shen Qian held her hand and said, "Not a few."
Then he raised his head and showed his first sincere smile since meeting Yao Ning: "My wife."
