Chapter 887 - Still Afraid of Ghosts (2/2)

Shen Yijun dropped the Buddhist beads in her hand. Piak! Luckily, it did not break. She picked up the Buddhist beads from the floor and separated it one by one.

At night, it was quiet and silent. Suddenly, there was a sharp scream coming from the Xia household.

Suddenly, Xia Yixuan sat up; and her forehead broke out in a sweat. She had a nightmare. She dreamed of the person with bones sticking out of her skin and a face where the skin was dropping.

She inhaled heavily from time to time, and her pair of hands clutched the blanket tightly.

In the morning when Shen Yijun woke up, she realized that her Buddhist beads were gone.

That was weird. She told the helpers in the house to help find her beads, but they could not find them even when they flipped the entire house over.

At this time, Xia Yixuan touched her wrist which had a chain of Buddhist beads. Later, she took down the beads and wore it around her neck instead. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief, but as she did not sleep the whole night, her face looked ghastly. There were patches of gray and green below her eyes.

She took out the mirror and added powder to the patches below her eyes, which forcefully covered her eye bags.

When she reached the office on the twenty-eighth level of the Chu Enterprise, she could not help but look towards Xia Ruoxin’s desk. At this point, Xia Ruoxin also raised her head and smiled at her. That smile was very cold, and in her eyes, there was no intention of smiling.

Xia Yixuan turned around and entered Chu Lui’s office.

Xia Ruoxin threw the pen in her hands, and the smile on her face instantly drooped down.

Piak! It was a very loud sound of the door closing which made the pen in Chu Lui’s hand shake. There was his signature on the contract followed by a long line.

“Xia Yixuan, didn’t anyone teach you to knock on the door first?” Chu Lui flipped to another page and signed again. There were no emotions in his nonchalant voice.

He was not angry, and he was not scolding her. He did not care, and he was nonchalant.

However, even so, Xia Yixuan was really scared. He was only nicer to her and gave in to her more than to other people as she had always been taking care of that stupid old lady.

What if that stupid old lady died, and he still did not want to marry her?

She arranged her hair, walked over, and stood beside Chu Lui.

“Brother Lui, when can we be together?” She squatted down and rested her head on Chu Lui’s legs. “I heard from others that once there’s something happy in the house, Auntie will recover faster. Do you agree?”

Chu Lui did not say anything and continued to flip through the documents in his hands rapidly. He flipped through them very rapidly and basically read ten lines in one go to get the general grasp of the information.

There were a few more levels in his office so he started getting busier and busier.

When he upgraded his building, it also meant the start of his responsibilities.

Knock, knock. A knocking sound came from outside.
