Chapter 17: Innocence



The Jiang family has a lot of properties, many of which have better orientations and lighting. The reason they chose the first floor is because Jiang Liyu has difficulty walking and has a bad heart, and elevators make her feel uneasy.

There were three vacant apartments left in the building, one two-bedroom and two three-bedroom apartments. Jiang Nian simply chose the largest one for them, which was on the tenth floor.

As soon as I pressed the floor button, a man and a woman rushed in. They saw Jiang Nian and greeted him, "Brother Jiang."

They were also tenants of the Jiang family, and they were very polite to Jiang Nian. However, because Jiang Nian was of similar age to them and they lived in the same building as Jiang Nian, although they were in a landlord-tenant relationship, they did not look that strange.

In their eyes, Jiang Nian is just a boy.

After the young couple pressed the floor button, they kept looking at Ren Qiao secretly. Ren Qiao's wedding dress was really eye-catching, coupled with her beautiful face. The young man whispered to Jiang Nian: "Brother Jiang, is she your girlfriend?"

Jiang Nian shook his head and pointed at Jin Banwei: "Her wife."

The young man then noticed that Jin Banwei was also a pretty beauty. He cried out what a pity, but before he could finish his sigh, his girlfriend grabbed his ear and dragged him out of the elevator. They got off at the fourth floor, and there were people waiting for the elevator outside. The moment the elevator door opened, they all looked at Ren Qiao. Fortunately, they were going downstairs and no one came up, otherwise Ren Qiao would have become an animal to be watched for a while.

Jiang Nian also noticed this. She tugged at Jin Banwei with disdain and said, "You are dressed so plainly yourself. Can you give your wife a set of plainer clothes? This wedding dress is too ostentatious."

Jin Banwei looked at Ren Qiao seriously: "It's okay, Sister Gui is so beautiful, no matter what she wears, she will attract a lot of attention."

Although she also wanted to change Ren Qiao's clothes, such as the crescent-white skirt, she couldn't do so due to limited conditions.

When Ren Qiao heard Jin Banwei praising her, she turned her head and glanced at her gently. Jin Banwei smiled at her, and she also smiled.

Jiang Nian covered his chest with his hands, his face full of grief: "Damn little wife."

Jin Banwei discovered that Jiang Nian was also a dramatic actor.

Growing up in such an environment, it is unexpected that she could develop such an outgoing and cheerful personality. It is really rare. However, judging by the way Jiang Liyu loves Jiang Chuchu, she should have been very good to Jiang Nian in the past twenty years. Except for missing Jiang Chuchu, there should be no bad part about her.

Jiang Nian has love, so she also returns love to Jiang Liyu.

Ren Qiao only half understood what Jiang Nian said. She frowned slightly and said, "Miss Jiang Nian, I should be much older than you."

None of this matters.

Jiang Nian really understood why Ren Qiao was so concerned about this. Her way of thinking seemed a bit old-fashioned. After all, she was a ghost.

Jiang Nian's gossipy heart was suddenly opened. When getting off the elevator, she deliberately dragged Jin Banwei out of the elevator before Ren Qiao. She whispered to Jin Banwei: "Master Jin, I sincerely ask you a question. Does the feeling of a ghost wife feel particularly different?"

Jin Banwei didn't quite understand for a moment: "What?"

Jiang Nian looked at Ren Qiao with great caution, and whispered to Jin Banwei in her ear: "Does it feel very cold to the touch? Will half of your body disappear when you do it?"

What lewd words is she saying!

Jin Banwei is still an innocent girl. She and Ren Qiao are wife in name only but not in reality. When Jiang Nian asked her, how could she know?

Jin Banwei's face flushed red, and she pushed Jiang Nian away awkwardly: "Miss Jiang Nian, we are not that familiar with each other yet."

After being pushed away, Jiang Nian came closer again. She held Jin Banwei's arm without feeling cold: "It's okay. I'm a very friendly person."

She was no longer afraid of Ren Qiao and Jin Banwei at this moment, and was even taking the trouble to find out gossip.

Jin Banwei felt that Jiang Nian was a bit difficult to deal with. He didn't seem to give up until he heard the answer. This gave her a headache. Jin Banwei didn't know the answer to the questions she asked.

She also wanted to know what Ren Qiao's body felt like?

What a sin! She was going to be led astray by Jiang Nian’s few words.

Ren Qiao stepped forward and pulled the two apart. She said to Jiang Nian very seriously, "Miss Jiang Nian, my husband is a married man. It's not appropriate for you to hold her arm like this."

Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows strangely: "Sister Ren Qiao, when did you become a ghost? Why are you talking so strangely?"

Ren Qiao didn't answer her.

Jin Banwei knew that Jiang Nian had hit Ren Qiao's sore spot. Ren Qiao herself really wanted to know when she became a ghost, and she also wanted to recover her memories of her previous life, but she couldn't do it.

Jin Banwei took Ren Qiao's arm, tilted her head and glared at Jiang Nian: "Put away your evil thoughts, and stop asking nonsense questions."

Jiang Nian felt even more strange: "Aren't you a couple? Why are you acting so innocent? You..."

She didn't stop talking, and Jin Banwei's good temper was almost exhausted. She glared at Jiang Nian again: "Jiang Nian, you are really noisy."

Seeing that Jin Banwei was showing signs of being angry, Jiang Nian finally remembered the serious matter. She took Jin Banwei to the door, took out the key and opened it, then threw the key to Jin Banwei and ran to sit on the sofa in the living room: "I won't be polite, I'll sit here for a while and won't go back to disturb them."

They, mother and daughter, sound somewhat pitiful.

Before Jin Banwei could express her sympathy, she saw Jiang Nian looking at her with great curiosity: "Master Jin, that question is very important to me. Are you really not going to answer me?"

That was important to her! Where could she ask?

Jin Banwei felt that she was about to be led astray by Jiang Nian. She raised her palm and slapped her face, forcing herself to be more sober. Ren Qiao saw that she had slapped her face red, and quickly grabbed her wrist: "Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." It's just that some evil thoughts floated into my mind.

However, the culprit Jiang Nian was still staring at the answer, Jin Banwei dragged Ren Qiao and squeezed into another single sofa, causing Jiang Nian to curse again: "Damn little wife."

Ren Qiao thought she was still talking about age, and she wanted to explain it to Jiang Nian, but Jin Banwei grabbed her hand. Jin Banwei signaled her not to talk too much to Jiang Nian, who would talk more to you the more you talked to her. But Jiang Nian was not the kind of person who would be quiet just because the other person was quiet.

"Can you please stop looking at each other affectionately and pay attention to the life and death of this single dog?"

"The sofa is so wide, can you please have one of you sit with me?"

Who was that person just now? He was scared to tears by her and Ren Qiao downstairs, but now he seems to have completely forgotten about it and is even chatting and joking with her like they are old friends.

Jin Banwei increasingly believed what Jiang Nian said about her being outgoing.

Seeing that he couldn't call them, Jiang Nian simply stood up and sat on another single sofa. He pointed to the sofa in the middle and said, "Hurry up and sit over there. Don't sit so close. I'm prone to pink eye."

Jin Banwei thought she was too noisy. If she didn't sit over there, she would probably be even noisier. She reached out and pulled Ren Qiao to sit over there, but Ren Qiao didn't move. Ren Qiao stared at Jin Banwei with gentle eyes and asked her, "Why does my husband listen to Miss Jiang Nian so much?"

It was clear that when she asked Jiang Chuchu to stay downstairs, Jin Banwei was ready to argue with her, but when Jiang Nian asked her to sit over, she moved immediately.

Ren Qiao didn't know what he was struggling with, he just felt uncomfortable for a moment.

Is she jealous?

From Ren Qiao's perspective, she is her husband, and she should be jealous that her husband listens to another woman so much.

Jin Banwei suddenly realized what was going on. She immediately sat back down and leaned against Ren Qiao gently: "Then I won't listen to her."

She leaned over and rested obediently on his shoulder, her soft hair pressed against Ren Qiao's neck. Ren Qiao suddenly became a little flustered and held Jin Banwei's hand a little harder. She didn't dare to move and her back became a little stiff.

Jiang Nian stared at Jin Banwei angrily: "Stinky little wife, I will really get pink eye."

Jin Banwei only leaned on him for a while. She felt that her behavior was inappropriate. In Ren Qiao's eyes, she was his husband and he could be as intimate as he wanted. But she knew clearly that the Ren Qiao in front of her was just a ghost wife controlled by the marriage line. Ren Qiao could transcend his boundaries with her, but she could not transcend his boundaries with Ren Qiao. This was immoral and she was a serious person.

The feeling of Ren Qiao's lips and teeth touching her palms and the tip of his tongue rubbing against them had already quietly changed Jin Banwei's heart.

Jin Banwei looked at Jiang Nian, and she tried not to let her attention fall on Ren Qiao all the time: "Why are you jealous? Don't you have a girlfriend? When we were looking for your house, the aunties we met said that you were going to bring your girlfriend home."

"Aunt Liang or Aunt Zhang? Don't listen to their nonsense. A few years ago, they spread the rumor that I was not serious in school and got three schoolmates pregnant. I don't have that ability. They are just jealous that my family has more houses than them."

Jiang Nian raised her neck proudly, but found that no one paid any attention to her.

Ren Qiao was staring at Jin Banwei's profile, not knowing what she was thinking about. Although Jin Banwei was looking at her, she had no intention of paying any attention to her. Instead, she held Ren Qiao's hand tighter and tighter.

Jiang Nian was really irritated by the stinky little wife. There was no place for her downstairs, nor here. She stood up and was about to leave. Ren Qiao's attention finally fell on her. She called Jiang Nian: "Miss Jiang Nian, do you have any Buddha statues at home?"

"There are still quite a few left. That monk cheated me out of my money and I lost it when I got back."

"Don't throw it away yet, keep it well, you may need it."

Jiang Nian didn't understand what Ren Qiao meant by being useful, but he still agreed.

However, Jin Banwei suddenly came to her senses after hearing these two sentences. She suddenly felt that Ren Qiao asked Jiang Chuchu to stay with Jiang Liyu not out of weakness, but because he had other plans.

"Sister Gui, why did you let Chuchu stay there to accompany them for another day?"

"Xiao Jin, if you want them to know the harm left by Chuchu, it's useless to just tell them. They may even blame you for being inhumane. Only by letting them experience it themselves can they wake up."

"Chuchu has no cultivation and no way to control the Yin energy leaking out of her body. If a living person is exposed to Yin energy, she will get sick at best, or even die at worst. If it's just one day, she should just be a little weak. The Buddha statue can dispel Yin and ward off evil spirits. Placing it by the bed will help them recover."

Sure enough, Ren Qiao had his own plans.

Although she has no memory of her previous life, she is more insightful than Jin Banwei in doing things.

This way, she won't have to worry about those ghosts in the black umbrella getting too aggressive, and it will also be a warning to everyone.

Ren Qiao frowned slightly, and she said softly, "Chu Chu's mother said that your words were not nice to hear. I hope that staying one more day can help her sober up."

Ren Qiao was angry that Jiang Liyu compared her to Min Kong, so she wanted to teach her a lesson.

But what Jiang Liyu said about her was no match for what Jiang Nian said about Ren Qiao.

She doesn't care about herself, she only cares about Jin Banwei.

Jin Banwei's heart was touched. She reached out her hand and touched the corners of her wet eyes, hiding her tears with a smile: "Sister Gui, you really care about me. Do you like me?"

She was just joking, but Ren Qiao corrected her seriously: "You are my husband, of course I care about you, and... I care about you especially."

Ren Qiao hesitated and didn't say it out loud, but it was normal for a wife to like her husband.

Jin Banwei didn't notice this tiny clue, and she became worried after Ren Qiao started speaking.

"Help." She should have known that Ren Qiao would say this. Jin Banwei covered her face and lay on the sofa, muttering: "Ghost sister, do you ghosts have the concept of divorce? Why don't we get divorced first? Don't treat me as your husband, treat me as a little girl, then I pursue you, you refuse, I continue to pursue you, you are moved, and then we can fall in love, okay?"
