Chapter 9: I’m Sheng Hanye’s Ghost
Translator: Lonelytree
Jiang Niansheng smiled. “I’m a ghost, a ghost who will only haunt Sheng Hanye!”
Si Cang calmed down when she said that. Because he confirmed she was a living human.
‘Wen Wan is already dead, of course, she wouldn’t be here to marry Sheng Hanye! Doppelgangers are a real thing after all! I was being shortsighted.
‘But this answers why Sheng Hanye had gotten a flash marriage. The obsession is still fresh in Sheng Hanye’s heart. As the woman said, it will indeed become something that haunts him for the rest of his life.’
“Doctor Si.” Jiang Niansheng asked, “This should be the first time we’ve met right? How come it looks like you’ve seen me before?”
Si Cang coughed. “You probably got the wrong impression.”
Jiang Niansheng, “…”
“Give me your hand.” Si Cang said, “I’ll relocate your wrist. It’ll hurt a little so bear with me.”
Jiang Niansheng didn’t move. “What if I don’t cooperate?”
“Then, Sheng Hanye will twist my head off!”
Jiang Niansheng smiled sweetly. “That does sound like him.” Jiang Niansheng decided that she shouldn’t hurt herself. She needed to live a healthy life so that she could find a chance to take revenge!
Since Sheng Hanye had decided to keep her around, then she would make him regret it!
When the bones were being relocated, Jiang Niansheng gritted her teeth but she didn’t even yelp in pain. Si Cang couldn’t help but be reminded of the past. ‘This Mrs. Cheng is as stubborn as Wen Wan!’
“It’s done.” He said, “Remember not to carry anything heavy for the next month.”
Jiang Niansheng didn’t answer but looked behind him. Sheng Hanye stood at the door. Si Cang immediately felt like a giant lightbulb.
Jiang Niansheng picked up the knife that had fallen and threw it into the trash can. “What a waste of a good knife.”
“You two have… such interesting toys. Haha.” Si Cang said, “Better try something conventional next time. Don’t push too far too early.”
Sheng Hanye pursed his lips and turned to leave.
Si Cang chased after him.
“No wonder you hid her from me.” Si Cang’s expression turned serious. “Do you plan to be married to Jiang Niansheng for the rest of your life?”
“Why not?”
“Sheng Hanye, it’s time for you to let go. It has been so many years already.”
He walked into the study. “I know what I’m doing.”
Si Cang sighed. “This is just ridiculous…”
Plus if Jiang Niansheng had entered the picture, what about Xia Caiwei?
…
In the study, Sheng Hanye called Wei Lian. “Send me everything you have on the Jiang family now!”
“Yes, CEO Sheng.”
Five minutes later, Sheng Hanye received Wei Lian’s email.
He quickly opened it.
The blue light lit up Sheng Hanye’s face. He read the document as he slowly scrolled down. After he was done, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. The Jiang family’s bankruptcy was indeed nothing for him. He forgot all about it. He was the one who signed the proposal but… It was Elder Sheng’s idea!
Sheng Hanye obliged his grandfather’s instruction unless it had violated his bottom line. But now the truth was out. What could Sheng Hanye do? Tell Jiang Niansheng that it was not his fault and push the blame to his grandfather?
Elder Sheng only did things that would benefit the future of the Sheng family and the Sheng Shi Group. Sheng Hanye was a member of the Sheng family so he had to take responsibility! There was no choice but for him to shoulder the blame. If Jiang Niansheng wanted to hate him, then so be it.
Sheng Hanye opened the drawer and took out the photo frame.
The girl in the photo had lively eyes and delicate facial features, but her expression was very cold. Even when she saw the camera, she did not smile. This was because she was a member of the Flying Feather.
Flying Feather’s female bodyguards were very skilled. They had been trained to remove their sentimentality so they would not fail their missions!
“Wen Wan, you never said you hated me but I know you did. So you left me forever to take revenge on me.” Sheng Hanye muttered to himself, “Now, even she, who looks like you, hates me too.”
He placed the photo frame on his heart. Outside the window, the moon was cold.
Jiang Niansheng was sleepless in the master bedroom. She couldn’t do anything but she couldn’t give up just like that!
After daybreak, Jiang Niansheng put on delicate light makeup and picked out a dress from a row of luxury clothes.
Jiang Niansheng noticed there was already women’s clothing in the cloakroom when she moved in. They were all brand new with the tags still there. Why would Sheng Hanye have so many women’s clothes in his bedroom? Did he prepare them for the women that he’d bring home with him?
However, all the dresses fitted Jiang Niansheng perfectly like they were custom-made for her. But Sheng Hanye shouldn’t know her measurements.
“Madam.” The butler called from the door. “It’s time for breakfast.”
“Coming.”
She went downstairs and walked into the dining room.
Sheng Hanye was sitting at the main seat of the dining table. He was wearing a white shirt and his collar was slightly open. His profile was incredibly handsome. He looked up when he heard her footsteps. Seeing the makeup on her face, he raised his brow in surprise.
“What do you think? Do I look pretty?” Jiang Niansheng sat next to him and asked deliberately.
To her surprise, Sheng Hanye answered, “Yes, you are very beautiful.”
“Then you better be careful. Beauty is a woman’s most dangerous weapon.”
Sheng Hanye asked, “What kind of danger can you pose to me?”
Jiang Niansheng answered clearly, “I plan to claim your heart and then take your life!”
The maid who held the dishes trembled and the soup spilled out. The butler also broke out in cold sweat.
However, Sheng Hanye only chuckled, “I wish you success.”
Jiang Niansheng clenched her palms. “I will be successful.”
“How about I help you by raising your chance?” Sheng Hanye offered. “After all, if you stay here, you’ll only see me at night.”
“What do you mean?”
“You are a good fighter. Why don’t you… be my bodyguard during the day?”
“You’re a man and you want a woman to protect you? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?” Jiang Niansheng mocked.
Moreover, Sheng Hanye was a better fighter than she was. They had not fought officially but his speed, reaction time, and strength showed great training.
“Not up for the job?” Sheng Hanye took a sip of coffee. “How about my secretary then?”
Jiang Niansheng’s heart skipped a beat.
If she was Sheng Hanye’s secretary, she would be able to enter the Sheng Shi Corporation and maybe even find her way into some business secret!
She was quite joyful when she looked up and met Sheng Hanye’s half-smiling eyes. ‘He has seen through me again!’
Jiang Niansheng decided to stop hiding her intention. “You’re serious? Sheng Hanye, you’re really placing me in your CEO’s Secretary Office?”
“I’m a man of my words.” He replied. “Plus this way, you’ll be by my side 24 hours a day.”
“Okay! Deal!”
