Marriage in Midnight: Ghost Hubby - Chapter 23
Lord Meng did not know why, but he actually found Lan Ming a little pleasing to the eye. Although this young lad in front of him had chosen the extreme side, if he did not use some tricks, then she might never be his.
Perhaps he still owed her a “I’m sorry” from the beginning, but he hoped that it was still too late.
“Let’s not talk about this. After all, you have already reached a compromise with him. Let’s continue discussing the transaction of the family heirloom jade!”
This was also the main topic of his conversation. After ten thousand years of waiting, he was finally able to use the person in front of him to draw the stop sign. He hoped that this time, she could truly forgive him for his cowardice.
“Buy some jade …”
Hua Xiaoxian was completely shocked, the anger that was about to explode in her heart was instantly extinguished like a bucket of cold water, she stared at the Young Master Meng in shock.
“I’ve decided to buy your jade, but I don’t have money, so I can help you get rid of the Yin Qi in your body. As long as you can help me give it to Grandma Meng, as long as she’s willing to accept it, then this deal will be completed. I wonder what that little girl will do?”
Although she was a liar, she was still a woman after all, and was still sensitive at times. At this moment, she could see a deep attachment in the old man’s eyes that were filled with the vicissitudes of life. Hua Xiaoxian knew that it was an indescribable feeling formed from love and deep longing, and it had once existed in her eyes, but it had only flashed past in a flash. Now, the only thing that remained was hatred towards Yan Ye.
In the end, he had abandoned him and chose that fairy-like woman. She seemed to be called Nian Xi, and it was true that she did not care about her name, but she even remembered the name of that love rival that she could not contend with.
“I promise.”
After thinking for a moment, Hua Xiaoxian readily agreed to the request of Master Meng. A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on her face, her heart was bitter, but she could only endure it.
“Master Meng, can you really help her get rid of the Bone Piercing Yin Qi?”
Lan Ming suddenly asked. At the beginning, he had thought that the Underworld Spirit Qi that had seeped into his bones would only be dispelled by the Underworld Flower, but he didn’t think that Master Meng himself would be able to dispel the Yin Qi in his bones, which could be said to save him a lot of energy. However, at this moment, seeing the deal between Young Master Meng and the little girl, he felt uneasy, thinking that things wouldn’t be as easy as Master Meng said.
“Yes, the decision will always be hers!”
The next moment, Mr Meng closed his eyes and stopped looking at either of the two men in front of him.
“But …”
Lan Ming had been worried the entire time. Even though he knew the Hua Xiaoxian in front of him right now didn’t care about his life and death, he couldn’t.
“Lord Meng, let’s begin!”
Hua Xiaoxian did not even give Meng Gongzi time to reply before he walked forward. The next moment, Meng Gongzi once again opened his eyes and raised his hand towards Hua Xiaoxian.
“Little girl, put the precious jade in my hand. In the next moment, I will help you break through to the next stage.”
“Hua Xiaoxian, if anything happens to you, I will definitely not let that woman called Hong off.”
The moment Hua Xiaoxian took a step forward, Lan Ming’s uneasy words resounded behind her. It was unknown why those threatening words were said so harshly, but at this moment, they floated into Hua Xiaoxian’s ears with trembling and unease. Hua Xiaoxian laughed, because if it was in the past, Hua Xiaoxian would definitely not doubt Lan Ming, if he was to say these words, no matter if she was in danger or not, Lan Ming would not do anything to her.
It was because the current Hong was the only person who could control her. Even if everyone around her was in danger, Hong would absolutely be fine. As long as she wasn’t by his side, she would absolutely be fine.
“Maybe you do love me.”
Hua Xiaoxian turned around and gave Lan Ming a profound smile. In the next moment, she disappeared into the vortex of darkness.
The cold and bone-piercing sensation instantly made her feel as if she was being cleansed from the inside out, completely draining Hua Xiaoxian from the inside out. Hua Xiaoxian swam helplessly in the water, and after swimming for an unknown amount of time, she was finally able to see the junction that she could do nothing about. One by one, people lined up and walked towards the Bridge of Helplessness, and at the end of the bridge of the River Nai, a soup shop faintly appeared.
An old woman in black was currently serving a bowl of soup to the soul that passed by the stall.
“Old granny, I don’t have any money, so hurry up and give me Grandma Meng’s Soup. Otherwise, do you believe that I’ll jump down from here?”
A tall noble pointed his finger at Grandma Meng, who was boasting arrogantly. The next moment, he waved his spoon, and the young master who was originally just acting like a fool fell into the ice-cold river with a “Ah!”.
“Save me …”
