Chapter 1047: 1047
Helian Wei Wei did not interrupt Lan Ya when she heard her answer . Instead, she gestured to her to continue her story . Lan Ya took a long, deep breath . Her fingers were stiff and her voice was slightly hoarse as she began explaining, “Both of us are from influential families, and we have known each other since we’re young . In the beginning, we were very close to each other . Although I’m one year older than him, he always took care of me . We grew up in the same Main Compound . When we were young, we liked to gather in a group of friends . He would treat me as his best brother, bringing me everywhere and telling me everything . But, I didn’t want to be his brother because I really love him very much . Later, when the Chen family fell into crisis, my family tried our best to help them stay afloat . ”
Without pausing, she continued, “After Uncle Chen was admitted to the hospital, the responsibility as the head of the family fell on his shoulders . As if he had evolved overnight, he wanted to give up on medicine and do business instead . He even wanted to drop out of school and follow his uncle to do business in Shenzhen . I knew the reason he made these decisions was to earn a lot of money within a short period of time . I also knew how happy he was when he talked about his work as a doctor . As such, I brought all my money to him and told him that he could have everything he wanted if he agreed to be in a relationship with me . I might be the most despicable person ever, as I knew his weakness and I used the opportunity to get him . ”
“He did not agree at first . However, without knowing what happened, he signed the contract after he became drunk and slept with me . I would do my very best to get him a job in the hospital, and he will stay by my side for three years . The contract would no longer be effective once three years have passed . I could not forget how he looked at me coldly and emotionlessly at that moment but luckily, he agreed . That’s how I fooled myself and everyone in a relationship with him . ”
She further elaborated, “Everyone thought that the Chen family would most probably collapse . Fortunately, my father did not give up on making connections in the industry . Additionally, the political situation had undergone a transformation . Not only did Uncle Chen recover well, he even turned his misfortune into opportunity, and his business skyrocketed in revenue in just half a year . So, he clearly told me that he wanted to rescind the contract with a lot of money . However, he doesn’t understand how important the contract is to me . I selfishly thought that I should have him longer since he had not fallen for anyone yet . Therefore, I refused his proposal . Maybe he had despised me a long time ago, and he would avoid me when he saw me . Truly, this proves that the person that does not belong to you will never be yours . ”
“At the beginning of this year, I knew that I should let him go when he first saw Xiao Ziqiu . I hated the version of myself from that time – constantly afraid that he would go out and eat with Xiao Ziqiu, or appear in the same news with her . I had a hard time, and I started to get angry . I endlessly reminded him that the contract had ended yet, while he merely glared at me like I was a heap of rubbish . Perhaps, this is the punishment given by God to me for my wishful thinking . He would fall for someone else anyway . But, why did I try to stop him from seeking happiness, even though I just want him to be happy?” Tears rolled down her cheeks as Lan Ya mumbled, “I really gave up when Xiao Ziqiu appeared . I’ve told myself to let go but I don’t know why am I still here?”
“Do you still love him?” Helian Wei Wei replied affirmatively, as she raised her head to look at Lan Ya .
Lan Ya answered with a yes . Her throat began to hurt as she muttered, “So did I trap him? If that’s the case, please destroy me completely and crush my soul . I don’t want to stay like this anymore . In his eyes, maybe I’m a truly disgusting person . However, it’s a miserable fact that I could not change anymore . The person has stayed by my side ever since I was born . I used a very malicious way to make him stay with me because I was afraid that he would leave one day . I’ve seen their photos, the way he looked at her, his eyes were filled with an undying love . Now that he has found his one true love, I don’t want to waste his time anymore . ”
“Miss Lan . ” Helian Wei Wei looked at her, “What if you’re still alive?”
Lan Ya was stunned . “Am I still alive?”
“You are a living soul, not a dead soul . ” Helian Wei Wei explained professionally, “As a paid exorcist, I have the right to help you to solve the root problem . I can send you back as long as we can find your body and figure out the reason why you are being trapped here . Of course, we have little time to waste . How many days have you been in this situation?”
Lan Ya shook her drowsy head and replied, “Maybe around four or five days, I can’t keep track of it anymore . ”

“You still have two days left to return to your body . This is known as the seventh day of death . You can continue your living if you return to your body before it . Once it has exceeded seven days, your soul will be tainted by the deadly aura and the ghost reaper will appear to bring you to the netherworld for reincarnation . Now, we still have time,” Helian Wei Wei spoke calmly .
Lan Ya lowered her eyes, “If I really survive, I will travel overseas for some time . Just like what you’ve said earlier, I’ll go there to take a break . Maybe I’m trying to have an escape . Since I’ve known him for many years, my heart will hurt whenever I see him . However, this is life, we have to constantly grow and move on . I’ll stay overseas for three years, so I can forget him little by little . When I have totally wiped out my feelings for him, I hope that I can face him and his wife with a smiling face and wish them well . Even though we aren’t lovers, we’re still friends who grew up together . I’m not sure if he would still abhor me when the moment comes, or assume that I have some evil intentions . However, all I want to do is to play the role of a good friend for him . ”
“Great . ” Helian Wei Wei smiled and said, “Miss Lan, you really deserve my help . ”
Deserve? Lan Ya felt that the word used by this shop owner was quite interesting . Furthermore, she did not expect that she was around 15 years old .
Perhaps, Chen Zhendong has already lost all interest in me . Otherwise, he wouldn’t miss this unusual fact .

How can I possibly have a 15-year-old friend?
Lan Ya smiled sullenly, as if the burden weighing on her shoulder had lifted a little . There was a pang of sharp pain in her heart, but it was a lot less severe compared to the first day when she was there .
Perhaps, this was how humans are, even the most painful heartache would subside with the passing of time .
As Helian Wei Wei watched her changing expression, the grin on her lips grew wider . “I personally love a love story between two childhood friends . Also, I love your character even more, Miss Lan . However, don’t you feel weird that you don’t have any idea of your cause of death in your brain?”
“Cause of death?” Lan Ya unconsciously tried to recall her memory, but a burst of pain hurt her head as a scene flashed across her mind . The intense pain was so unbearable that she could not help but grabbed her head .

Helian Wei Wei was slightly worried and instantly held her slim wrist to console her . “Stop your thoughts now . Do you feel better?”
Lan Ya nodded, but her face was still ashen pale .
Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and looked at His Highness, who had remained silent since just now, asking, “What do you think?”
