Chapter 1137: Chapter 1150: Nightfall and Ghosts Emerged
After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them rested enough before they saw Jing Xiangyang walking slowly from the direction of the ghost house.
If it were a different scene, it would undoubtedly look like a nighttime ghost drawing.
Jing Xiangyang seemed completely drained of energy, devoid of spirit, and trudged to the front of the two of them. He plopped down and, without any image, guzzled the ice water in front of Lin Junyang.
Lin Junyang raised an eyebrow, teased, "Hey, Jing Xiangyang, did a female ghost possess you in the ghost house and suck out all your energy?"
"Lin Junyang, you’re just too much. It was already something that you took Xiao Xiao, the goddess, away halfway, but if you were taking her, you could have at least invited me along," Jing Xiangyang’s voice was hoarse, and one could imagine what he had gone through that day.
Xiao Xiao looked down and chuckled, trying her best not to look too gleeful over others’ misfortunes.
"I actually wanted to call you, but seeing how much fun you were having, I thought better of it. It’s not easy for you to go into the haunted house once, so of course, you should enjoy it to the fullest."
Lin Junyang had a thoroughly punchable expression on his face.
Back when the brothers were in school, they had visited amusement parks, and the haunted house a few times, but Jing Xiangyang always avoided it.
Jing Xiangyang beckoned a waiter and ordered some snacks, devouring them ravenously. He had endured quite the torment both physically and mentally in the haunted house that day.
After eating, he immediately felt rejuvenated.
"Xiao Xiao goddess, let’s go, Brother will take you to see the night view."
Lin Junyang stood up slowly, glanced at his watch, and said, "Let’s go, I have to report back by eight, I’ll take you back now."
"Lin Junyang, even stealing someone away, you shouldn’t do it like this. It was agreed that Xiao Xiao goddess would go to see the night view with me," saying this, Jing Xiangyang looked at Xiao Xiao, "Right, goddess?"
Xiao Xiao’s eyes wandered back and forth between them, wondering what she should say at this moment?
In principle, she should agree to Jing Xiangyang, after all, it was decided before they went out, and besides, Lin Junyang had been accompanying her to play all day. This poor guy had wandered the haunted house all day, should she comfort his wounded soul once more?
But if Lin Junyang returned to the team, she was really afraid that she would spend the whole night wandering on the mountain with Jing Xiangyang.
Before Xiao Xiao could respond, Lin Junyang shook the car keys in front of her, "Are you sure you want to climb the mountain on foot? Also, do I need to remind you about the consequences of being late to report back? Are you sure your small frame can manage two hundred push-ups at once or even more?"
Jing Xiangyang’s hands on either side of his body clenched into fists. He vowed that if he ever got the chance, he would surely get back at this infuriating guy.
...
The near noon sunshine carried a scorching heat. Lin Ruonan took two deep breaths in front of the luxurious Gu Family building. Patting the household registration booklet in her name, Lin Ruonan sighed again.
She remembered the day Shen Wenxuan and Mu Wanxin got married, and everyone was originally scheduled to spend the night at Mu Xingfeng’s villa, but somehow it ended up with her being taken to her brother’s villa.
Perhaps she had really drunk too much that day, as she bravely gazed back into her brother’s gentle eyes.
Faced with her brother’s tenderness, she didn’t want to refuse. Faced with her brother’s
Lin Ruonan shook her head, trying to shake off those jumbled thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked into the lobby.
The receptionist greeted Lin Ruonan warmly, "Hello, who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"
The official tone left no room for mistakes, but it took Lin Ruonan by surprise. It was her first time visiting Gu Haoyu’s company to see him.
