The Female Lead of the Yuan Family

  Ming Yan seems to have guessed what we did, otherwise he wouldn't have vented all his anger on Chang Yu's head. He didn't force me to say anything, but that doesn't mean he wasn't clear about it.

  Guixian, no matter what, has existed for hundreds of years, some common knowledge about ghosts' first aid he wouldn't know? It's just that this is harmful to humans, Mingyan cannot compromise.

  We tacitly understand each other, don't force me to ask, let's just pretend it never happened.

  "Xiao Yue, get up and have some food!" After his recovery, Uncle took back the cooking duties from me because he found my cooking too bland and tasteless. He preferred strong flavors and didn't like light dishes.

  Chang Yu was suddenly flustered, because the doorknob moved a bit, and in the next second Uncle would come in, then he would be exposed as a big man in front of Uncle, at that time it would really be speechless.

  I'm also getting anxious and tense, not knowing what to do. My closet is carved out of the wall, just a palm-sized space, and he can't fit in there. Last night when it was dark, I hid in the corner and Uncle naturally couldn't see me, but during the day...

  It was Ming Yan who calmly grabbed Chang Yu, who was like an ant in a hot pot, and pulled him to the curtains, avoiding the direct sunlight. Sitting behind the curtains, he smiled mischievously: "Jump out, quickly!"

  "What? You're killing me! This is the sixth floor!" Chang Yu never thought that Ming Yan would actually make him jump off the building to protect my reputation.

  The doorknob slowly turned, and the door creaked open with a slow motion. My heart was also lifted to my throat, tense and wandering between the doorway and Chang Yu's body. In the end, I simply didn't want to cover my face and wait for it to be exposed, but still anxiously stole glances.

  "A fall from such a height won't kill you, if you don't want to be stewed, then get down for me!" Ming Yan grabbed Chang Yu from behind and lifted him up like a small chicken, and threw him out head-first.

  Chang Yu's mournful voice echoed from near and far: "Ming Yan, you have forgotten kindness and righteousness, abandoned friendship for the sake of beauty..."

  The window was still open, the breeze blowing the curtains, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

  His pale arm was still sunburned in the morning sunlight, but the smile on his face was refreshing and relaxed. He turned around, patted his hand, smiled at me, and made an OK gesture.

  I opened my eyes and blinked dryly, doing a really extreme act with extremely radical means...

  My uncle pushed the door open and stood at the entrance, looking around my room with a puzzled expression. He scratched his head: "Was I mistaken? I could've sworn I heard someone else's voice."

  I pretended to be silly and laughed dryly, hurriedly covering up, deceiving my uncle that it was his illusion, then got out of bed to start a new day's routine.

  Coming out of the bathroom, I still feel a bit dizzy and lightheaded, but my spirits are still okay.

  My uncle kept glancing at me with a mixture of concern and annoyance, and after finishing breakfast, he finally spoke up: "Why don't you take the day off today? I think you're not in great shape."

  I took a sip of milk, touched my face and smiled: "How can that be? Just started working and asked for leave again? Don't worry, there was a fight between night cats downstairs last night, didn't sleep well, nothing's wrong."

  I've already made up a lot more than what I originally said, and Uncle actually believed it, saying "Alright then, let's get ready to set off."

  Ming Yan looked at me with a worried expression, his face dark and his cheekbones bulging. I knew he was still resentful of Chang Yu's arbitrary decision to sacrifice me, and also blaming me for not knowing how to cherish myself.

  Arrived at the classroom, changed into work uniform, while putting on makeup, secretly observing the silent Ming Yan. This guy, after waking up this time, except for targeting Chang Yu, seems to have suddenly become quieter. Lying in a cool place, staring out of the window, lost in thought, wondering what he's thinking about. From when we came out until now, he hasn't spoken a word, nor has he disturbed me, just sitting alone in the corner, looking awkward.

  I stitched up the wounds on the corpse and applied a layer of cosmetic film, making him look much more presentable. After all, he was a man, so there was no need for heavy makeup, just a light dusting of powder to cover things up.

  After finishing the painting, he carefully wrapped the corpse in white cloth and bowed deeply. He packed up his things, slung them over his shoulder, and walked towards the corner of the underworld, hesitating for a moment before speaking: "Had enough? Let's go, it's done."

  "Oh, okay." Simple two words, really precious!

  I had just opened the door to the resting room when I saw Director Wang hurrying over, a smile on his face as he approached me. "Xiao Yue, you're just in time, you've finished your work. After you change clothes, come with me to see a guest who's here to thank you."

  "Thank me? I'm a bit confused, and the monk can't figure it out either. He exchanged a glance with Ming Yan, who also shook his head in confusion."

  Yesterday an assassin came looking for me, and today who is this? I rubbed my temples with some fatigue, praying in my heart that no more strange people would come, my coping ability was almost at its limit.

  Ming Yan got into trouble, I forgot to ask Chang Yu if he had gotten the thing. Don't let another third party come out, or I'll really be at my wit's end.

  Physically exhausted, forcing myself to stay awake but still yawning constantly. It turns out that after being possessed by a ghost, one really does become weak in the limbs and heavy-headed!

  Ming Yan stood beside me, with his back to me as he changed clothes. The silent him finally opened his mouth: "Don't worry, Chang Yu won't die, and Yuan Xue, I think she shouldn't have anything happen to her either, at most she's just being unreasonable and hiding away in a huff."

  I applied two drops of peppermint oil on both sides of the temple, looked in the mirror and sighed: "I'm not worried about others, but you."

  The dark flame's stiff back turned around to stare at me, with a dull and confused expression. Those black eyes were like stars and moons, without any impurities, so beautiful.

  I also turned around, facing him who was a head taller than me, looking up at him with an uneasy gaze: "Don't blame Changyu, everything is my own will and the only thing I can do for you. You also said that we don't know what situation I'll face next, neither of us knows, I'm just an ordinary person with no one to rely on, if something happens to you again, then I really won't be able to hold on. Because now there's only you left, everything will be fine."

  Lowering my head and blushing, it's the first time I've said something so cheesy in my life. Being stared at by him with a somewhat shocked expression, I felt even more uncomfortable.

  She swallowed her saliva, bit her lips and looked away awkwardly, forced a smile and raised her head, making excuses: "I just said that, you just listen to it, Director Wang is still waiting, let's go!"

  I touched my slightly feverish cheek, brushed past Ming Yan's side, and had my hand caught by his. Without saying much, he just followed me out of the locker room, a happy smile on his face, and what seemed to be happiness too!

  We arrived at the reception room, and Director Wang was already pacing back and forth anxiously by the door. I didn't know what kind of person he was, but it seemed like a big deal to make him so flustered.

  When she saw me walking over, her smile was more enthusiastic than before, pulling me to one side and patting my hand, saying: "Girl, we've met a benefactor, you must definitely treat her well, maybe she'll be willing to sponsor us, at that time our museum will owe you a great favor."

  I exchanged a surreptitious glance with Ming Yan, without giving him a definite answer, only saying that I would do my best. Because I didn't even know who was looking for me or what they wanted me for, I couldn't casually agree to an unfulfillable promise.

  Director Wang didn't want to force me either, so I did my best and that was enough to give him a peace of mind. He escorted me to the door.

  I followed him, but stopped halfway because Yuan Xue's figure floated out of the living room. A triumphant smile on her face, as if she had already won, floated towards me.

  And I just pretended that Yuan Xue was invisible, passing through her body. As long as I didn't want to pay attention to the ghosts, I could treat them as if they were transparent. This point even I myself found unbelievable.

  I clearly saw Yuan Xue's astonished expression, and after I passed through her body, I heard her loud call to me: "Little Yue sister!"

  Not paying attention to her, at the same time having a faint bad premonition, she appeared here, the people inside...

  Director Wang went in and greeted, during this interval, I exchanged a glance with Ming Yan, letting him keep an eye on the girl. Her mind was too heavy, she was an unpredictable variable, if not handled properly, she might become the most troublesome one.

  I ignored her call and walked into the living room as if nothing had happened, my concern and former affection for her had reached an all-time low, she was undoubtedly a stranger to me.

  Following Director Wang in, this reception hall is usually used to entertain distinguished guests, such as investors. Sometimes it also serves as a small conference room. The museum director instructed several deputy directors to have the director handle some tasks assigned by their superiors.

  I'm just an ordinary employee, although I've been working here for over a year, I've never set foot in this place before, today is my first time.

  Compared with other offices, it is really luxurious, but after all, this is a crematorium, and it's just slightly elegant luxury.

  At this moment, a noblewoman with a low-key temperament is sitting on the sofa. Her face looks well-maintained, but after all, time is unforgiving, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are still clearly visible when she narrows her eyes. Although she is wearing black office attire, whether it's the shoes on her feet or the handbag in her hand, they are all high-end branded items endorsed by celebrities.

  Even if I don't recognize it, I've seen that handbag on TV before.

  She saw me coming in, smiled graciously and stood up to walk towards me, friendly without being pretentious, greeted me warmly and politely extended her hand. Every inch the successful person.

  "Are you Miss Yin Yue? Let me introduce myself, I am..."

  Before she could finish, I politely put my hand together with hers, but on my face was a faint smile that kept a distance. I spoke for her, "Yuan Xue's mother, right?"

  She looked slightly surprised, her eyes scanning around me as if searching for someone's figure.

  This mother and daughter are simply cut from the same mold, no need for anyone to reveal the message, I can see it myself. I couldn't help but laugh: "You don't have to look anymore, your daughter is now with my friend, I think our conversation is better not heard by them."

  At her astonishment, I yielded the seat and she sat back on the sofa. However, I didn't sit down, after all, I was a staff member, casually leaning against the edge of the conference table, waiting for her to speak about her purpose this time.

  It's not good to have one's thoughts seen through, and Mrs. Yuan's expression is no longer as calm and composed as when she first came in. After hesitating for a moment, she looked up at me and said: "As a mother, I want to satisfy any request my child makes, even if she couldn't get it while alive, I want to fulfill it after her death, so I didn't beat around the bush with Miss Yin either."

  Cutting to the chase, I remained expressionless on the surface but couldn't help laughing inwardly. Here comes the main topic!
