After breakfast, Yang Jian did not stay at home. He decided to drive out for a stroll.

Perhaps feeling guilty about the urging to marry, Jiang Yan and Zhang Liqin chose not to accompany him. They stayed at home, helping pack up utensils and do housework, behaving very obediently.

But the real reason is they are afraid of Yang Jian getting angry.

After all, their ideas of ‘moving up’ were exposed.

Yang Jian drove through Dachang City, absentmindedly watching the scenery outside the car window while still thinking about the earlier events.

“What my mom said is true. It really is necessary to settle down. Moreover, for me, it doesn’t matter who the wife is. She can be Jiang Yan, Zhang Liqin, or anyone else. So what’s important is the identity of being a wife. I need someone who can legally and rationally help handle everything and make some decisions when I’m not around.”

But upon careful thought, among the people Yang Jian knows, there’s truly no one who meets these criteria.

In fact, Wang Shanshan once talked to him about this topic.

At that time, Wang Shanshan was also being urged to marry by her parents. However, she had a special situation and couldn’t live a normal life, so the best solution was to be with Yang Jian and form a family. Wang Shanshan’s parents would also do their utmost to help maintain the company’s operations, even if Yang Jian died, they would continue working.

Thus, those two who are neither entirely human nor ghost are suitable to stay together, and their fates are truly intertwined.

“Unfortunately, Wang Shanshan is not suitable, because if I die, she would die as well, and she can’t handle things for me after my death. If I have to get married, it must be to a normal person to fulfill the role of the wife and who must have been exposed to the supernatural circle yet without being corroded by the supernatural. Besides, they must have the ability to manage affairs and be sufficiently loyal.”

Yang Jian pondered quietly.

“So, Zhang Liqin is directly ruled out, she was parasitized by the Ghost Infant, which is a hidden danger. Although there’s nothing now, who knows what consequences will arise in a few years, ten years. Moreover, she is just a secretary I casually recruited, far from my inner requirements.”

Yang Jian continued driving, the wind blowing through the window, his thoughts continued to drift: “Actually Liu Xiaoyu is good. She’s my operator, knows me very well, and is from headquarters, with a clear background and correct stance. But sadly, she was also influenced by the supernatural, which might also be a hidden risk.”

At this moment, excluding personal sentiment, he reasoned with absolute logic about future candidates who might become his “wife.”

Of course, using the supernatural to create a person is best, but this also presents the same problem; which is that if Yang Jian dies, those created supernaturally would end too.

Yang Jian kept thinking, continuing to sift through suitable candidates.

In the end, he only considered two people suitable: one was Jiang Yan, the other was Miao Xiaoshan.

Jiang Yan has been known for a long time, the two have experienced many supernatural events, Yang Jian trusts her a lot, and Jiang Yan is also resolute towards Yang Jian, never showing betrayal behaviors, and has a good ability to manage affairs.

Regarding Miao Xiaoshan, she’s almost like a childhood friend carrying emotions from Yang Jian’s student days, and her nature is kind, character gentle, but she’s weak in managing affairs.

“If it comes to choosing one of the two, who is more suitable?” Yang Jian posed a question to himself.

He doesn’t think either would be unwilling, because many people in this era actually don’t have many choices. They have been exposed to the supernatural circle and know the horror of this world, so hoping to naively live a normal life is impossible.

After all, no one wants to have a family live comfortably and suddenly face a supernatural event then die despairingly.

Even if not encountering supernatural events, recalling the horror of ghosts after nightfall can’t keep life peaceful, right?

The reason these people live relatively well so far is because of Yang Jian.

Faced with horrors, there’s a realization that Yang Jian will come to save oneself.

With hope, one can sleep peacefully amidst the Black Night.

In the midst of pondering, Yang Jian’s phone suddenly lit up with a message arriving.

“What a coincidence, never thought Miao Xiaoshan has already arrived in Dachang City.” He glanced at it and immediately hit the gas pedal.

The vehicle accelerated sharply and then unexpectedly disappeared from the road.

When it reappeared, the vehicle had already appeared on the airport road and was quickly heading towards a plane that had just landed.

Passengers getting off the plane and preparing to leave the airport were taken aback.

Is racing allowed inside the airport?

However, airport staff seeing this car didn’t intervene and instead tacitly accepted its presence.

What violation of airport management regulations, what dangerous driving.

None of this concerns them, because in their training, there is a very important rule that some vehicles appearing are not to be stopped. Even if that vehicle halts a plane on the runway, they must cooperate. And coincidentally, Yang Jian’s car is one of those vehicles not to be stopped.

After all, this is the car of the person in charge of Dachang City.

Yang Jian wasn’t so domineering; he was just picking someone up along the way, not having absurd thoughts of intercepting a plane.

Miao Xiaoshan, queuing to get off the plane, felt a bit embarrassed seeing Yang Jian get off the car.

“Why are you here? I sent a message saying I’ve arrived in Dachang City and would go to you in a bit, right?”

“I happened to be free and was wandering around, so I came by.” Yang Jian said calmly: “Come on, get in the car.”

Miao Xiaoshan nodded, didn’t hesitate much, and hurriedly got into the car, hoping to leave quickly to avoid inconveniencing other people at the airport.

Yang Jian drove the car, turned around, and headed towards the airport. But when he took a corner to avoid most people’s gaze, the car suddenly disappeared.

Next moment.

The vehicle moved normally through the city’s streets.

“How many days do you plan to stay in Dachang City this time?” Yang Jian asked. For original chapters go to noⅴelfire.net

“I have to leave tomorrow. I came over on leave this time; after all, I’m still in school and don’t have much time.”

Miao Xiaoshan said helplessly, “Sometimes I really want to drop out, it feels like continuing like this isn’t very meaningful. After all, there are supernatural events everywhere, you never know when something might happen again. I’d rather live according to my own wishes, but my parents wouldn’t agree. They’d definitely kill me for dropping out after finally getting into a good university.”

“There’s no future in not studying. Look at Ah Wei and me, aimlessly wandering around, causing trouble. Today if I’m not hitting someone, then someone’s coming to hit me tomorrow. Feels like I’ll eventually get hacked to death on the street,” Yang Jian said. “Although supernatural events are becoming more and more intense, they’ll pass eventually, so you still need to plan for the future.”

“Besides, what would you do if you dropped out?”

Miao Xiaoshan squinted and smiled, “I’ve thought it through, I could work at your company. You’d definitely hire me, right?”

“Although I would hire you, you shouldn’t rush to leave school to work. You’ve got plenty of time to work for the rest of your life, so you should finish your studies well; that’s what everyone hopes for, isn’t it?” Yang Jian said.

“Yeah, I used to think so too, but recently I’ve been feeling more and more uneasy.” Miao Xiaoshan said.

Yang Jian asked, “What’s the reason?”

“I don’t know, maybe because after Sun Yujia told me your stories, I felt anxious, or maybe it’s because I’ve been writing a book recently and it’s getting on my nerves, always wanting to change my lifestyle,” Miao Xiaoshan pondered.

“Anxious? I kind of understand. But I don’t have any good solutions either.”

Yang Jian didn’t say much more; he understood this kind of anxiety.

The more you know about supernatural events, the more it feels like the world is doomed. Ordinary people naturally feel anxious, thinking nothing matters anymore, and would rather do what they want while they’re still alive.

“What have you been busy with lately?” Miao Xiaoshan asked.

“Handling supernatural events, of course, but recently my mom has started to pressure me about getting married. She thinks I’m not getting any younger and need to find a girl to marry,” Yang Jian said.

Miao Xiaoshan was taken aback, then laughed, “Even you have a day where you’re pressured to marry! But with your abilities, there must be tons of girls willing to marry you, right? You’re the famous Ghost Eye Yang Jian after all. Just put the word out and the line of girls outside your house would stretch for miles.”

“But suitable people are very few,” Yang Jian said.

“Are there suitable people you’ve got in mind?” Miao Xiaoshan, sensitive to such matters, asked casually.

Yang Jian replied calmly, “After some serious thought, I currently have two candidates.”

“Who are they? It can’t be Wang Shanshan, right? I think she’d be a great match for you; after all, she was a renowned beauty in our class with a ton of admirers.” Miao Xiaoshan hinted.

“It’s not Wang Shanshan, one of them is Jiang Yan,” Yang Jian said.

Miao Xiaoshan suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She knew Jiang Yan because she had known Yang Jian for a long time and was living in Yang Jian’s house all along…

“She’s very good, really admires you. If you choose her, I believe you would get along very well…” She said some pleasant things, but there were traces of tension and unease in her tone.

Yang Jian continued, “And the other person is you.”

Miao Xiaoshan stopped mid-sentence, then looked at Yang Jian with wide eyes, appearing very shocked, “Why, why me? I, I only promised to be your girlfriend before, but didn’t… this is too fast, and I’m still in school.”

For a moment, she waved her hands repeatedly, blushing furiously, and her heart was pounding wildly.

She hadn’t expected that after not seeing Yang Jian for a long time, the meeting would dive straight into discussing marriage, catching her completely off guard.

Yang Jian continued driving, his expression still calm, as if they were just discussing a trivial matter.

“But even if I agree to this, I’d have to ask my parents’ opinion.” Miao Xiaoshan, after a pause, managed to blurt out this embarrassed sentence.

Yang Jian saw her flustered look and suddenly said, “Your parents’ opinion actually isn’t that important, right? After all, I can handle everything.”

Miao Xiaoshan blushed again and fell silent, beginning to seriously think about this matter.

This wasn’t a trivial decision.

Because it might affect her entire life.

But no matter what, Miao Xiaoshan’s heart was still thrilled and joyful, because she knew that when Yang Jian considered this matter, he included her,

“If you can’t decide, don’t rush it. It’s not something you have to decide right away; I’m just asking.” Yang Jian said, “This question of mine was also quite impulsive, bringing up such a topic out of the blue.”

“It’s okay, I understand you. After all, you’re at a high point right now. It can’t be like normal people when it comes to matters of the heart. My roommate Liu Zi told me that wealthy and powerful families pay more attention to arranged marriages rather than free love. The fact that you can put aside the interests and consider me makes me very happy,” Miao Xiaoshan said with a blush.

“So I’ll seriously consider this issue, and no matter what, I’ll give you an answer.”

Yang Jian nodded and said, “It’s good that you understand. Alright, let’s leave this matter for now. I’ll take you to Shangtong Tower first; the class reunion still needs to be arranged by Zhang Wei. Contact him when you get there; who knows what he’s been busy with these past few days.”

“Alright,” Miao Xiaoshan nodded.

“Also, don’t wander around if you have nothing to do. Dachang City hasn’t been stable recently; people have been dying successively,” Yang Jian added.

Miao Xiaoshan said, “Don’t worry, I won’t wander around aimlessly.”

She looked at Yang Jian who was driving, her heart still filled with joy, feeling that this trip was indeed worthwhile.
