Chapter 50: The Tale of Water Ghost(1)
Chen Shu turned rigid after being caught red-handed, enclosing the real estate certificate in his hand . He tried to keep a calm expression, not letting Ye Sui see his actions .
In a few seconds, Chen Shu thought of a way to get out of the pickle .
Ye Sui rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not dreaming . Chen Shu was standing beside her bed . On top of that, he didn’t seem to be in the right condition .
Chen Shu did not answer Ye Sui’s question and did not look at her, either . Instead, he simply got up and passed by Ye Sui’s bed . At the same time, he hadn’t forgotten to hide the real estate certificate in his hands .
Ye Sui’s eyes followed Chen Shu as he unconsciously got up, walked, and turned around… appearing very similar to his sleepwalking state before .
Chen Shu thought that this would quietly take care of the matter . Soon, he was less than a meter away from successfully going back to the couch .
But as Chen Shu was about to get to the sofa, Ye Sui was already sobered up . She narrowed her eyes and noticed that Chen Shu was turning skillfully, feeling something odd .
‘Is Chen Shu really sleepwalking?’ They had only lived here for one night and were not familiar with the place at all . How did he walk back to the sofa so properly?
Thinking of this, Ye Sui suddenly said, “Chen Shu, stop . ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Shu’s footsteps paused, then slowly continued in the direction of the sofa, pretending not to hear Ye Sui’s call .
“Click!”
Ye Sui pressed the switch . The lights suddenly lit up, pouring down from the top and brightening the whole room .
That one-second pause spoiled the atmosphere, and Chen Shu’s poor acting could not escape the eye of a veteran like Ye Sui . She walked out of bed, paced towards Chen Shu, and patted him on the shoulder .
Chen Shu, who was exposed: “…”
Chen Shu turned his back to Ye Sui, still holding the real estate certificate in his arms . “I’m going to sleep . ” His voice brought a little drowsiness .
In the next second, Ye Sui was in front of Chen Shu, who was caught off guard and glanced down at the thing in his hand .
Ye Sui’s eyes gleamed as she ordered Chen Shu, “Take it out . ”
When Ye Sui looked at Chen Shu, the corners of her eyes squinted with a meaningful glimmer in them, as if she were tempted by something .
Chen Shu’s eyelids suddenly jumped, and he subconsciously handed out the thing in his hand . He had taken great pains to get the real estate certificate; in the end, though, he couldn’t hide it .
Chen Shu lowered his eyes, and the room became quiet for a few seconds . Then there sounded Ye Sui’s voice . “You… bought a villa in Erhai Lake!?!”
Chen Shu sighed .
‘Yes, he’s such a superficial person that he always spends money on villas . ’ He lowered his head, ready to accept Ye Sui’s teaching .
It was early in the morning, so not a sound could be heard . Then the familiar voice of Ye Sui filled the room, “Chen Shu, you’re amazing . ”
In the eyes of the Chen family, Chen Shu was nothing . He was a man who could survive only by relying on his family’s trust fund .
Ye Sui, however, felt that Chen Shu was totally different from the man they were talking about . Now, he had made enough money and could afford a big villa .
Chen Shu was stumped for words, and his eyes lit up again . He couldn’t believe it, repeating what Ye Sui said just now . “Amazing?”
Ye Sui carefully articulated the words and stressed it again . “Yes, you’re amazing . ”
Listening to it again, Chen Shu turned his eyes to Ye Sui and saw her laughing, her gaze filled with encouragement and appreciation . Ye Sui’s pretty face and her dazzling smile were like a bright sun in his dusty world .
He suddenly wanted to say something but could not utter a word .
Ye Sui asked, “Why do you want to put your real estate certificate here?”
Chen Shu: “I brought it here by accident . ”
Ye Sui at once realized that Chen Shu was lying .
Chen Shu’s gaze was deep and profound as he stared into Ye Sui’s eyes . Perhaps because it was late at night, his voice was a bit dumb . “Good night . ”
