Hearing this, Gu Ran smiled.

Mo Yancheng stared at her and said softly, “You look good when you smile. You should smile more often.”

Hearing this, the smile on Gu Ran’s face froze, and she instantly regained her previous coldness. She stared at the road ahead and drove on, not daring to say anything else.

Mo Yancheng glanced at her and guessed that she must have recalled the events that had transpired at the hotel, so he stopped talking as well.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a park and everyone got out.

“Are we staying here for the night?” Ma Yunyun looked around dubiously at the abundance of flora and lack of people in the area. For some reason, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Liao Ping took a look around and frowned too. “Is this the countryside? Do you own a bed and breakfast service?”

“Yes,” Gu Ran replied. “This is the best hotel that I could fine with our limited budget.”

“How much for one night?” Yan Hao asked the most important question.

“It’s free of charge.’

“That good!” Ma Yunyun’s eyes shone. The unsettled feeling she had just now was instantly chased away by the prospect of money.

Feng Cheng did not believe that such good things existed in thee world. He quietly took out his phone to some research, and his expression changed unexpectedly.

He held his phone in anger and strode towards Gu Ran in quick strides, thrusting his phone in her face. “Gu Ran, you are too outrageous! You want us to sleep in a cemetery!”

“What! Cemetery!” Ma Yunyun screamed piercingly out loud!

Liao Ping also gulped involuntarily and took a step back.

“Feng Cheng, speak nicely. Is this a misunderstanding?” Yan Hao tried to find a middle ground.

Mo Yancheng, however, silently pulled Gu Ran behind him, and stood in front of Feng Cheng. “This is a park in the countryside. If there is still a use for your eyes, please trouble yourself to look at the sign over there.”

“Oh, you don’t understand French. Take out your phone and translate it yourself then.” Mo Yancheng silently added a jab into his statement,

The fear in everyone’s hearts abated with Mo Yancheng’s words, and they all laughed at his words.

Gu Ran walked out from behind Mo Yancheng and stared directly at Feng Cheng. “Like I’ve said, if you’re unhappy, you are free to leave.”

“You!” Feng Cheng was furious.

“You guys agree to live here too?” Feng Cheng looked at Yan Hao and the others, trying to seek an alliance.

“I’m staying.” Mo Yancheng was the first to speak up. “I’ve always been open and aboveboard. I’m not afraid of any vengeful karma that spirits might enact on me.”

Yan Hao agreed as well. “Honestly, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t even have realized that this is a cemetery. In fact, many places overseas use parks as graveyards. This is very normal.”

Liao Ping had always followed the majority. Since Mo Yancheng and Yan Hao had all agreed, she too nodded and expressed that she wanted to stay.

Ma Yunyun was the most timid among them all. But although she was afraid of staying in a cemetery, she was even more afraid of sleeping alone on the streets. “I-I’ll stay too.”

Gu Ran raised her eyebrows and smiled. “It seems that the only one who wants to leave is you.”

As she spoke, she retrieved a tenner from the envelope and gave it to Feng Cheng. “Here’s your budget for the next two days. Take it!”

Feng Cheng almost vomited blood at the sight of the ten pounds!

In this wilderness, ten pounds was not even enough for a taxi. How could he possibly support himself on this meager fund for the next two days!

“Take it! Don’t you want to leave! Hurry up and get lost. Don’t waste our time.” Gu Ran threw down the banknote and carried her suitcase towards the lodgings.

Mo Yancheng followed closely behind. Liao Ping and Ma Yunyun did not dare to delay and jogged after him.
