My Ghostly Romance - Chapter 22

Yang Mi felt Kaisar stiffening up when her lips brushed his ear. Then, as if nothing happened, he pulled backward and didn’t even glance at her as he stepped away.

Lu He Yan didn’t notice this and smiled like an idiot as he thought that his plan was taking place. He couldn’t wait to call Kaisar’s mother and tell her that her son brought home a girl. Surely, that old woman would be so proud of her son and reward him for setting up his son to live with a woman.

Grinning from ear to ear, Lu He Yan raised his thumb up towards Yang Mi who raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“Hey, are you sure that man is a doctor?” Yang Mi couldn’t help asking Kaisar after he just drove the car a few meters away from the hospital.

From afar, she could see from the back window that Lu He Yan was jumping and waving his hands like crazy.

“Ignore him.” Like a good and real friend, Kaisar had nothing to say about Lu He Yan and chose to not care about how the doctor would look in front of others.

Hearing him, Yang Mi shrugged her shoulders and also ignored the silly doctor.

It took them an hour to arrive at Kaisar’s apartment.

The Black Palace, the condominium complex where Kaisar lived has been doing great. In the past, the management would always get complaints from the tenants and lose a lot of money. They did everything in their power and renovated the place a couple of times but even after squandering a lot of money, they couldn’t save the place and the people who lived there left with their things.

Rumors say that there were some ghosts living in the place. The strange noises that played whenever midnight strikes till 3 in the morning, the screams in the hallways, and the missing things of the tenants eventually drove the people away.

But suddenly, a few weeks ago, things were getting better for the Black Palace. Despite the past complaints and bad reviews, the place was now being crowded with potential tenants, they even got a front page feature in a popular magazine.

Now, how did that happen? People believed that it was because of the good karma that surrounds the place. But in truth, it was because Yang Mi has been guarding the place since she arrived..

But that wasn’t it all.

The person whom they should thank was the man whom she has been stalking.

At this moment, Kaisar stepped in the entrance door with Yang Mi. The lobby was filled with people who wanted to get some of that good karma.

:”Mom, when are we gonna finish?” A child asked her mother.

The mother replied with a sigh, “Just a bit more, dear. We’ll get a place in this complex soon.”

Yang Mi glanced at the child and smiled at him. The child saw her and blushed for a moment. He had never seen such a pretty woman before. All the women around him were old grannies with wrinkly skin thus, he couldn’t stop staring at her.

He was about to wave at her, however, Yang Mi already looked away from him and followed Kaisar to the elevator.

…

“Just sit anywhere. I’ll get you something to drink.” Kaisar said to her as soon as they entered his apartment.

Yang Mi obeyed and went straight to the living room. Unbeknownst to her, Kaisar was watching her as she maneuvered her way to the living room.

Before Kaisar lived there, he made sure to renovate the place and design it himself. The interior was quite complicated as one wouldn’t be able to go to the living room that easily as one would need to climb the stairs and pass the kitchen. If it wasn’t someone who knew this place too well, one would need his help to get to the living room.

And yet, Yang Mi was already climbing the stairs. She was humming a strange and creepy song as she happily took her steps upstairs.

As he saw her making her way to the living room, Kaisar’s eyes glinted dangerously. He wasn’t sure at first but now…

His mind was finally made up.

Yang Mi who had no clue what was going on inside his head didn’t notice the change in his mood as he entered the living room. She was already sitting relaxedly on the sofa across the 110 inches TV and looked like she was ready to watch her favorite noontime drama.

Kaisar silently put down the tray with cups of coffee and cupcakes on the coffee table.

While he was doing this, his eyes didn’t leave her figure. He stared at her undisguised.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Mi innocently stared back at him as she finally took notice of his gaze.

The man who continued to stare at her put his hands inside his pockets and turned off the TV. Then, he sat down lazily before asking, “Don’t you have something to tell me?”

Yang Mi paused for a second as she wondered what he was talking about.

Having no clue about what he wanted her to tell him, she decided to say whatever she wanted.

“Do you have some cookies?”

“…” Kaisar set his jaws hard as he didn’t avert his eyes away from her.

‘Isn’t he asking her what she wanted for snacks?’ Yang Mi tilted her head in wonder.

But wait… if she were to read the expression on his face, there seems to be something in his mind. Something dark and troublesome.

But what is it?

He couldn’t have known her plans, right?

Did he find out that she has been eating oily foods since his last visit?

Did that doctor tell him what happened to her and the nurse last time?

Yang Mi continued to form her own hypothesis inside her head.

On the other hand, Kaisar sat silently with his eyes hooded with his eyelashes.

He wanted to know why the stalking female ghost was acting as if nothing happened and how did she manage to become human again?
