Chapter 123: The reason

“Grandmother Meng…” I shockingly stared as she walked in. I sat frozen on the couch. By the time I figured I had to stand to greet her, she was already in front of me.

“You’re surprised, eh? Because I didn’t tell you I was coming ahead of time.” Grandmother Meng glared at me. I could tell she was furious.

I stood up from the couch and secretly peeked at Suyang. The atmosphere was so uncomfortable right now.

Suyang rushed in to help me. He smiled apologetically, “Grandma, how come you came without letting us know in advance? I could’ve picked you up!”

“If I had told you in advance, wouldn’t it have given you time to prepare?” Grandmother Meng glared menacingly at Suyang. Then, she sharply stared at me, “Have you forgotten what you promised me?”

“I….” Both Suyang and I were well aware of the reason why Grandmother Meng was so infuriated. It had to be because of our relationship.

“Did you forget what I said? I told you, you two cannot be together!” Grandmother Meng shouted. I had never seen her so enraged before.

I had lost my ability to explain myself. I admit, I did betray Grandmother Meng. Seeing how I wasn’t fighting back or responding, Suyang immediately went to defend me.

“Grandma, it was our fault for not telling you that we’re officially a pair.”

“Xiao Su, do you think Grandma is mad because you didn’t tell me? It’s because you two absolutely cannot be together!”

“Grandma, didn’t you like Yixin? We’re already together. That’s a fact. You cannot change it.”

Grandmother Meng began to tremble as she pointed at me, “Do you know what Lin Yixin is? Do you know what will happen if you two stay together?! You will be a victim of many unpredictable events!”

“We’ve already been together for a long time. Grandma, you can’t change it. So just accept it.” Suyang responded. He seemed unaffected by her words.

“Silly child! Don’t you know that… Lin Yixin can…”

“Lin Yixin can see ghosts! I know!” Suyang lifted my limp hand and placed it against his chest, “That doesn’t matter to me. The fact that she was honest with me made me love her even more.”

Actually, Suyang found out my secret because he tested me at the haunted hospital. Does that count as being honest?

“Silly child, do you think that she can only see ghosts?” Grandmother Meng’s words shocked me, “She can also recruit ghosts.”

“What do you mean…?” I was confused.

I admit, currently, I was acting like a chicken. I was practically hiding behind Suyang as I whispered.

“I said, not only are you able to see ghosts, you can also attract them. I knew this from the moment I met you. Although so far there has only been nice ghosts around you, one day, I have no idea what type of evil ghost you’re going to attract… what would happen then? If my Xiao Su is in danger, could you handle the responsibility?” Grandmother Meng shrieked in anger.
