When Yang Jian woke up from the Ghost Dream, it was already the next morning.

Though it took quite some time, the good news was that he had successfully taken down Nightmare Castle. In a few days, the Evil Hound would harness a new Supernatural Power, which was something worth looking forward to.

“You’re awake?”

Beside him, Jiang Yan’s voice sounded as she rubbed her eyes, just waking up.

“Why are you in my room?” Yang Jian asked.

“I saw the light in your room on last night and came over to accompany you. Didn’t you used to dislike sleeping? Why did you sleep so long this time? I was worried something had happened to you and stayed up half the night worrying, but eventually I fell asleep.” Jiang Yan said.

“I had a dream.” Yang Jian casually replied.

“What kind of dream?” Jiang Yan blinked her eyes, asking curiously.

Yang Jian said, “Of course, it was a nightmare. If you want to know, bring me my notebook. I need to record what happened in Baishui Town and last night.”

“Okay, I’ll get it right away.”

Jiang Yan excitedly went to the desk drawer in the room and took out a thick notebook.

In this notebook were recorded all of Yang Jian’s supernatural experiences, seen by very few people. Only two people had seen it so far: Jiang Yan and Zhang Liqin.

The two of them had one thing in common, which was that they were ordinary people.

After recording what happened in Baishui Town and the dream, it was already ten o’clock in the morning.

At this time, Zhang Liqin’s voice came from downstairs: “President Yang, breakfast is ready. Come down quickly to eat.”

“Elder Sister Qin, wait a moment. We’ll be right down.”

Jiang Yan replied, then added, “By the way, Aunt just returned from her hometown. She’s been wanting to find time to talk to you. But you were away on business and didn’t have time, so today I took the liberty of asking Liu Xiaoyu to give you a day off, telling them you won’t go to the office today and to rest at home.”

“My mom’s looking for me?” Yang Jian’s expression shifted.

This reminder made him realize that he hadn’t had a meal with his mother for quite some time.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian immediately got up, dressed, and asked again, “While I was away, you and Zhang Liqin have been taking good care of my mom, right?”

“Of course, Elder Sister Qin and I often went back to the hometown to visit Aunt. I even used my savings to buy a car just for the convenience of going back.” Jiang Yan said proudly, slightly raising her chin.

“How’s my mom doing recently?” Yang Jian continued to ask.

Jiang Yan said, “She’s doing great. Aunt often chats with relatives in the village, occasionally watches TV, and grows some vegetables. You haven’t been back to the hometown for a long time. You really should go see the villa we spent a fortune building back home, and now even the safe house is complete.”

“That’s good. But I’m too busy with many things in the supernatural circle and at headquarter, I don’t have much time to rest.” Yang Jian said calmly.

“Actually, I’ve thought about living a normal life too, but after coming this far, many things are beyond my control, and I can’t stop. However, along the way, your help has spared me many worries. You haven’t disappointed my trust, and I should thank you for that.”

Yang Jian was very aware of Jiang Yan’s efforts, which had long exceeded the duties of an accountant.

Jiang Yan blushed slightly, “Don’t say that. We’re all family, we should help each other. Besides, I like helping you, even if my abilities are limited, often not playing a significant role. As long as you don’t mind me.”

In Jiang Yan’s heart, her feelings for Yang Jian had surpassed a normal male-female relationship. More often, she considered herself part of Yang Jian’s family.

But despite Jiang Yan’s deep feelings, Yang Jian, as a ghost handler, was emotionally detached, which caused a barrier between them.

“Actually, you’re more remarkable than I imagined. If possible, I hope you can always follow me.” Yang Jian said, “But sometimes, I think, you’re young and pretty, you should have your own life. Getting involved in the supernatural circle isn’t a good thing.”

“Danger, horror, and even entanglements in the supernatural circle, any little thing could ruin your whole life. So sometimes I thought I might erase your memories while you’re asleep, so you could forget everything and return to a normal life. That might be good for you.”

“No way, I don’t want to live an ordinary life. I just want to live with you.” Jiang Yan huffed, immediately refusing. “I knew you’d want to get rid of me. Do you want to be with Elder Sister Qin instead?”

“Zhang Liqin?”

Yang Jian’s eyes shifted slightly, “You’re wrong. Destroying you would make me feel regretful, but destroying Zhang Liqin wouldn’t. That’s why I keep her by my side, after all, I need useful people around me.”

“Don’t you dare alter my memory. I’ve chosen you, and I won’t regret it. I can jump off a building once for you and a second time as well,” Jiang Yan said seriously.

“And what if one day I die?” Yang Jian said.

Jiang Yan was taken aback: “How could you die?”

“Everyone dies, and ghost handlers even more so.” Yang Jian replied.

“I don’t know. I haven’t thought about that problem.” Jiang Yan said, a little lost.

Yang Jian smiled slightly, “You’ve managed all my assets. If I die, take my money and live well, and take care of my mom.”

“Don’t talk nonsense so early in the morning. You’ll definitely live well. Alright, enough talk, let’s go downstairs for breakfast. Don’t keep Aunt waiting.” Jiang Yan cut off the topic, pulling Yang Jian’s arm and heading out of the room.

A moment later.

Yang Jian and Jiang Yan came downstairs, and at this moment, Yang Jian’s mother Zhang Fen and Zhang Liqin were already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.

“President Yang, sorry, we started eating since you two hadn’t come down for a long time,” Zhang Liqin said somewhat apologetically, her eyes shifting over Yang Jian with a hint of gentleness and a smile.

It seemed Jiang Yan didn’t succeed last night either.

“Don’t take so long to come down for meals. Don’t do this again in the future,” Zhang Fen reprimanded a little.

Yang Jian walked over and sat down, saying, “Mom, I heard from Jiang Yan you wanted to see me. What is it about?”

“One thing is about your cousin’s case from last time. She’s been missing for a long time, and didn’t you promise to help look for her last time? How come there’s been no news after so long? I wanted to ask about what’s really going on,” Zhang Fen said.

Yang Jian took a bite of sandwich on the table, then pondered, “This matter is unlikely to be resolved. Too many people go missing these days, but I’ve already asked headquarters to keep an eye on it. I’ll definitely be notified if there’s any news.”

“Sigh.”

Zhang Fen sighed: “I just knew it wouldn’t be that easy to find her back. I’m just asking to confirm so that I can give them a clearer answer when I return.”

Yang Jian said nothing, just continued eating his sandwich.

Though the supernatural incidents hadn’t completely spread out, those who should know already knew. The villagers were also well aware that when it comes to supernatural matters, once someone was gone, they were truly gone—it was almost impossible to find them back. The only consolation was the hope that the person wasn’t dead.

“The second thing is about your marriage. I see you aren’t likely to go back to school, and you’re not young anymore, it’s time to find a wife and settle down. What do you think about Zhang Liqin and Jiang Yan?” Zhang Fen asked.

“Cough, cough.” Zhang Liqin, who was drinking coffee, immediately coughed violently, her face flushing red.

Jiang Yan was burying her head, avoiding eye contact.

The expression on Yang Jian’s face was very calm, as if unaffected: “They are both very good. One is mature and sexy, the other young and beautiful, highly educated, smart, and capable. They handle many things for the company.”

Zhang Fen, however, smiled and said, “That’s good. I asked the two of them before, also consulted with their parents. Both they themselves and their families are very much in favor of being with you. But no matter how excellent a person is, you can only marry one wife. Among them, who do you prefer to choose?”

“If you can decide today, then Mom will take the initiative to finalize things for you.”

Yang Jian put down the sandwich in his hand, his eyes moved slightly, and glanced at Zhang Liqin.

Zhang Liqin looked panicked, avoided eye contact, feeling anxious inside.

She knew there was a huge disparity between her status and Yang Jian’s. Being able to help Yang Jian with tasks was already very good, she dared not hope for more. But when Aunt asked if she was willing to be with Yang Jian, there was only one answer she could give—to say yes.

However, she might not be entirely without a bit of fantasy.

What if Yang Jian needed a woman to serve as a ‘wife’ in name? Why couldn’t she be the one he needed? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ nοvelfire.net

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, had her head so low it almost touched the table, but her ears were already red outside her hair. She felt unsettled, afraid Yang Jian would be angry at this moment.

After all, it seemed like she and Elder Sister Qin had conspired to use Aunt to get a rise.

A secretary, an accountant, trying to use Aunt to rise up and become Yang Jian’s wife. If this got out, people would probably curse them to death.

But Yang Jian merely asked, “Even their parents know about this?”

“Such a big matter, of course, it needs to be discussed with their parents,” Zhang Fen said as a matter of course.

“So, in saying this, the matter has been made public,” Yang Jian calmly said, “This could be a bit troublesome.”

“What’s so troublesome about it? It’s a mutually willing matter, and it’s not illegal,” Zhang Fen said, puzzled.

Yang Jian replied, “It’s not troublesome for me, but for them. Because of my unique status, once it’s known I’m going to marry, a huge crowd will rush over, using various methods to associate with and befriend those on the female side to better connect with me.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Zhang Fen still didn’t understand.

Yang Jian said, “If it were in the business world, of course, it’s a good thing. But I’m in the circle of the supernatural. Attracting people doesn’t just involve the wealthy, it would also draw ghost handlers. For ordinary people to come into contact with the supernatural circle—it is a bad thing.”

With those words,

Zhang Liqin and Jiang Yan’s expressions changed immediately. They hadn’t considered this point.

Thinking about it now, it truly made sense.

Yang Jian’s wife would not be an easy role to assume. Obtaining that identity equates entering the circle of the supernatural, putting the whole family at risk if one is not careful.

“That indeed would have some trouble,” Zhang Fen somewhat understood now.

“Let’s set this matter aside for now and eat,” Yang Jian said.

Zhang Fen said, “But your matter can’t be delayed either. What do you think about Wang Shanshan, the child from Wang Bin’s family in the community? Mom has seen that girl; she’s fair-skinned, tender, and very pretty. Besides, she’s your classmate. Speaking of classmates, didn’t you use to be very close with a girl named Miao Xiaoshan? Do you still keep in touch with her?”

A hint of helplessness appeared on Yang Jian’s calm face.

It seemed he was being pushed to marry again, and urgently at that.

If worse comes to worst, he might just create a woman himself to act as his wife—saving time and effort, with a perfect figure and appearance, someone who could be resurrected after death, without having to worry about loyalty issues.
