Mysterious Revival

Zhang Liqin woke up. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She had slept very soundly and securely, the terrifying events of the previous day hadn’t greatly affected her mind.

Even though her heart would still palpitate when she occasionally recalled it, the man by her side had given her a strong sense of safety.

"Why haven’t you slept yet?"

She might have slept soundly, but she did not feel comfortable upon waking up.

She wasn’t sure if it was because of helping out with brick moving yesterday or for some other reason... She just slightly raised her head to glance at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian had his eyes half closed, half-open, and wasn’t asleep; he resembled a dozing tiger or wolf, maintaining vigilance at all times.

"I can’t sleep."

He sensed Zhang Liqin’s restlessness and opened his eyes.

"You’re so wealthy, so young, and so powerful, why push yourself so hard?"

Zhang Liqin murmured, displaying a lazy posture.

Yang Jian said, "That’s my business, you don’t need to worry about it. However, I apologize for yesterday, I was impulsive."

Ever since he became a ghost controller, his needs had been suppressed to the lowest, almost imperceptible level—the closer he got to the edge of awakening, the greater his own impact.

After all, ghosts lack the seven emotions and six desires, and Yang Jian had been approaching that state before.

But recently, he felt that some of the things he had lost were coming back, or perhaps there was some change within the ghost in his body. He couldn’t quite tell.

"It’s fine, just don’t talk about it, keep it a secret for me," Zhang Liqin said with a slight smile.

"I will. Do you want to sleep more? I have things to do today and need to get up," Yang Jian said.

Zhang Liqin glared at him slightly, "What, is being with a woman older than you that uncomfortable? I may not be as pretty as your girlfriend, but I’m not so uninteresting that you’d lose interest after one time, right?"

"You men are all the same."

After speaking, she felt her tone was somewhat inappropriate, as if she were a jealous, coquettish young woman, then she changed the subject, "But I have to go to work today, and later I need to help you with some procedures. What time is it now?"

"It’s past ten," Yang Jian said.

"This late?"

Zhang Liqin was startled, hurriedly got up, picked up a towel from the floor to wrap around herself, and then checked to see if yesterday’s clothes were dry.

Yang Jian said with a smile, "Have you considered working for me? You can name your salary requirements."

"Sure... no, no need."

Zhang Liqin was about to agree but then became somewhat panic-stricken and quickly shook her head in refusal.

"Do you have a difficult secret?" Yang Jian asked.

"It’s none of your business," Zhang Liqin said with a flushed face. "Don’t you have a girlfriend? Why hassle me, I’m not even close to you, we’ve only met twice."

"You’re mistaken, she’s my employee, and my relationship with her is very pure, nothing inappropriate has happened," Yang Jian assured earnestly. "And to say we’re not close is not quite right—I did save your life, after all."

"Then I really should thank you,"

Zhang Liqin bit her lip, gave Yang Jian a displeased look, and showed the charm of a woman, "But you can’t expect to keep me just because of that."

"That’s truly a pity, but if you don’t agree, then let’s leave it at that. Take your time getting dressed; I’ll be going out," Yang Jian shook his head, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Liqin suddenly asked with suspicion, "Did you, take any photos of me yesterday?"

```

Wealthy people can be such freaks, and she definitely didn’t want to be controlled by Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment before saying, "What are you joking about? Would I do something so immoral? No matter what, I’m a very upright and honest person, so I absolutely didn’t take any pictures."

"That’s good to hear," Zhang Liqin sighed in relief.

"But I did take a video," Yang Jian said.

"..." Zhang Liqin’s eyes widened in shock.

"Just kidding," Yang Jian laughed. "Do you think I had time to take pictures yesterday?"

Zhang Liqin thought about it and finally relaxed.

When Yang Jian came down to the living room on the first floor, he saw Zhang Wei and Jiang Yan with dark circles under their eyes, yawning from time to time.

"What’s wrong with you guys? You look exhausted, like you haven’t slept all night," Yang Jian asked curiously as he walked over.

With a look of grievance, Jiang Yan glared at Yang Jian: "You have some nerve! Leaving me alone in the room, I was so scared I couldn’t sleep all night. Didn’t you say there were ghosts here? You dare to stay in a haunted house. If it keeps up like this, I’m going to go mad. Where did you go yesterday?

Did you sneak out by yourself?"

"You don’t need to worry too much. The supernatural events here will be taken care of. If you don’t want to stay, you can move out anytime. Isn’t your apartment still vacant? You can move back there if you like," Yang Jian said.

"I’m not going back," Jiang Yan pouted.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei, yawning, said, "Stayed up all night, I’m feeling so empty, Brother Tui didn’t keep me company to have some fun."

"I was busy yesterday too," Yang Jian said, then glanced at Zhang Liqin who had come out.

Zhang Liqin’s face looked a bit unnatural, her gaze darting about, avoiding Yang Jian’s eyes. She approached with a stack of documents, "If you’re free, you might as well sign this car purchase contract. Also, for the car plate registration, I don’t know if you want to handle it through our dealership or do it yourself?"

"If you’re registering through the dealership, I have a special software here that you can use to pick a license plate."

"Any license plate is fine, just handle it," Yang Jian said as he picked up a pen and signed.

Zhang Liqin crouched down and pointed out, "You also need to sign here. Miss Jiang has already made the payment. Here is the invoice and receipt, and the insurance has also been arranged in advance."

"How long will it take for the license plate to arrive?" Yang Jian asked.

"If we’re handling it, it should take about three days, but there might be delays in some cases. However, it will definitely be done within seven working days, please don’t worry," Zhang Liqin explained patiently.

After everything was handled, she said with a guilty conscience, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

"Alright, you don’t need me to see you out, do you?" Yang Jian asked.

"No, no need," Zhang Liqin replied.

Yang Jian said, "Remember to deliver my license plate in a few days. I need my car urgently."

Zhang Liqin turned her head and blushed at Yang Jian’s knowing look, stammering, "I... I’ll do my best."

After speaking, she left in a hurry.

Once outside the villa, Zhang Liqin finally felt relieved, patting her chest with her heart racing fast.

Thinking about having to provide door-to-door service again in a few days, she couldn’t help but be overwhelmed with anxiety.

"There’s a problem," Jiang Yan said with a strange look as she watched Yang Jian and the departing saleswoman.

When had Yang Jian ever been so courteous to women?

In the days she had been with him, she had not been spared from his temper.

"When is your father coming, Zhang Wei? We need to spend some time sorting out your issue today. Your problem may not seem big now, but it’s always a potential risk," Yang Jian said, ignoring Jiang Yan’s suspicious look.

"He said he’d come around noon," Zhang Wei answered.

Yang Jian said, "That’s still two or three hours away. Let’s go have lunch."
