Chapter 268: Making a Fuss
"Boss, you're too cold-blooded." Zhao Xuanlang said with a face full of accusation, "If you continue like this, you'll really lose me, your little brother."
"Oh!" Zhong Nianyao's face was indifferent. Without even raising her eyelids, she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the gate, saying, "The gate is over there. Don't go the wrong way!"
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's appearance, Zhao Xuanlang felt much more relieved. She already knew how to confront him, so it seemed that she had truly recovered.
He shamelessly pulled out a chair and sat down. "Boss, for the sake of you not losing me, your little brother, I think I should tolerate you for a while!"
Zhong Nianyao was not at all surprised by Zhao Xuanlang's reaction.
"By the way, Boss, the one holding you that day was the Third Master of the Lu Family, right?"
After confirming that Zhong Nianyao was fine, Zhao Xuanlang started gossiping, "Look at how nervous he is. Are you two together? Are you planning to make it public, right?"
Before, he felt that the relationship between Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao was definitely not ordinary. Just the way Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao, with his eyes almost tearing, was enough to tell that his attitude towards Zhong Nianyao was different from that of others.
"I haven't agreed to him yet." Zhong Nianyao said lightly, "But I gave him a chance to pursue me."
"Boss, you're awesome!" Zhao Xuanlang gave a thumbs-up. "I never thought that Third Master Lu would be completely subdued by you! You know, even though Third Master Lu is frail and sickly, he has a handsome face and is a member of the Lu family, so he attracts a lot of admirers! Now he's actually actively pursuing you. You're really amazing."
Although there weren't many rumors about Mr. Lu, he was a favorite of many wealthy women. It seemed he was completely cold and ruthless to everyone he met. However, it was this emotionally cold man who fell for Zhong Nianyao.
Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and did not comment on Zhao Xuanlang's statement. "You came here today just to see me?"
"Of course." Zhao Xuanlang nodded repeatedly. "Boss, when I saw the photo before, I knew that person was you. I have been wanting to visit you these days, but then something went wrong and I never got to see you. Now that you are finally home, as your number one subordinate, it is natural for me to come and visit you."
Zhong Nianyao also knew that Zhao Xuanlang was really concerned about her. The joking expression on her face disappeared, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "I'm fine now. If I hadn't recovered, the hospital wouldn't let me go! Don't worry, I'm really fine."
Only after hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words did Zhao Xuanlang finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as the two were talking, a cold wind suddenly blew.
Zhao Xuanlang shuddered and straightened his clothes. He felt really strange. Although it was autumn, it was not winter yet. Why did he feel a chill?
Zhong Nianyao, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Jing, whose soul had become somewhat transparent, with a hint of surprise on her face. "What's wrong with you? I see that your soul power is very unstable. Are you injured?"
She knew Zhang Jing was going to seek revenge on Ling Chao. She wasn't worried about Zhang Jing not being able to find him, after all, the two of them were still entangled in a karmic thread. Living people might not be able to see it, but ghosts could. So, she wasn't worried about Zhang Jing not being able to find him, or finding the wrong person.
However, it only took one day for Zhang Jing to come back, and now Zhang Jing's soul has become much more transparent, which must have happened.
Zhang Jing looked very weak, even speaking seemed a little difficult. She was floating there in a daze, as if she would disappear at any moment.
Seeing Zhang Jing like this, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown, then picked up the phone and asked the servant to help her get the things.
Just after hanging up the phone, Zhao Xuanlang, who was standing beside him, hugged him and spoke with a trembling tone, "Um...um, Boss, who were you talking to just now?"
There was no one else here except him and the boss. But the boss had just been talking to the air. He didn't believe the boss was joking.
Since there was no one else here, was there something that he couldn't see but the boss could see? Then it wasn't a person, but a ghost.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanlang felt that he seemed to be even colder.
"And a ghost!" Zhong Nianyao said nonchalantly, "I found this ghost in the hotel I stayed in while traveling, and brought it back with me."
"What?" Zhao Xuanlang exclaimed, then realized that his voice seemed too loud, so he quickly lowered his voice, "Boss, how could you just pick up something like that! I... I..."
As he spoke, he felt even colder, perhaps due to psychological factors.
Just when Zhong Nian Yao was about to reply, a servant came up to her with something in his hand, put it down, and gave her a complicated look.
The servant felt that Zhong Nianyao was a little strange, because what she had just helped Miss Nianyao take down was not something else, but a few incense sticks. They were the incense sticks that were burned when going to the temple to worship.
She had never seen that rich young lady keep such things in her room. Moreover, now that her friends were over, she actually asked her to take a few down. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed a little strange.
After putting down the things, the servant felt strange but left quickly.
Zhong Nian Yao ignored Zhao Xuanlang who was making a fuss and quickly lit the incense.
After the incense was lit, the smoke that came out seemed to have consciousness and all floated directly towards Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing's soul, which was originally somewhat transparent, began to slowly become solid after smelling the incense, and her consciousness seemed to slowly return.
Zhong Nianyao also had time to glance at Zhao Xuanlang, who seemed a little cold next to her, and then felt a little speechless, "This is not the first time you have seen a ghost, why are you still scared?"
"Boss, humans and ghosts are different, so it's normal for me to be scared!" Zhao Xuanlang felt a little aggrieved. "Besides, why don't you bring something back from your trip? Why did you bring back a ghost? I'm a normal person! Of course I'm scared."
Zhong Nianyao shook her head helplessly, "Then you should get in touch with it more often, maybe you will get used to it soon."
