Chapter 44: Sun Jiangguo’s Will (1)

The next day, when Chen Shu went out, Ye Sui’s door was closed, and she was still asleep. His eyes stayed on it for a while, as if in deep thought.

While Chen Shu was working, he had been pondering about what Ye Sui said to him last night.

“Chen Shu, do you think there are ghosts in this world?”

It was not the first time Ye Sui had asked him such a question. But every time he gave her a negative answer that there were no ghosts in this world.

And every time he finished this sentence, Ye Sui’s expression would not be quite right the way he spoke. Was there something he missed?

Meanwhile, Wang Chuan first came in. He saw Chen Shu contemplating with his eyes on the document in front, but his attention was not on it.

As a competent employee, Wang Chuan felt it was necessary to relieve his President’s troubles. “President, what’s the problem?”

Hearing the voice of Wang Chuan, Chen Shu raised his eyes and looked at him. He spoke faintly, “Wang Chuan, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?”

At first glance, Wang Chuan thought there was something wrong with his ears, and he didn’t process Chen Shu’s statement.

Wang Chuan thought Chen Shu was about to bring up work-related issues. Unexpectedly, he asked him this kind of question. Was it associated with Ye Sui?

Chen Shu’s eyes still fell on Wang Chuan. Since he asked him, he had to bite the bullet and answer it.

Wang Chuan pondered hard and said, “I remember my grandmother knew a deity matron, who said that every few days, she would be possessed by gods and could talk to the dead.”

“I think it’s better to believe it than not to. Even though we can’t see ghosts, they might exist. If President wants, I can help you contact someone in this field.”

Wang Chuan reckoned he had given the perfect answer.

However, Chen Shu only waved his hand. “All right, you can leave.”

Wang Chuan turned and left the office in a confused manner. In the corridor, he met Cheng Sheng, who was waiting for the elevator, and bumped his arm.

“What if someone suddenly asked you if there were ghosts in the world. What does it mean?”

Cheng Sheng did not even turn his head. “He definitely doesn’t want to talk to you, so he brought this topic up casually.”

Wang Chuan, suddenly enlightened, nodded. It turned out that this was the case. Their President’s way of thinking was indeed different from that of ordinary people and could not be guessed.

Chen Shu called Ye Sui before he left work. Having nothing to do, she quickly picked up the phone.

“When will you be home?”

Ye Sui was surprised since Chen Shu asked her for the first time. She didn’t think much of it, though. “I’ll be done soon. Why?”

Chen Shu glanced out of the window; the sky was still bright, and the sun was shining. He added, “I left work early today. Do you want me to pick you up?”

Ye Sui immediately answered, “Alright. I’ll wait for you at the back door of the company.”

When Chen Shu arrived at Ye Sui’s company, she was standing under the sunlight. From time to time, she would raise her hand against the glaring sun. There was a big tree beside her, but she refused to stand in the shade.

Chen Shu turned the steering wheel and parked the car in front of Ye Sui. Her eyes brightened upon seeing him at that instant, and she immediately got in the car.

“Do you want to eat?” Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui.

Ye Sui felt that there was something wrong with Chen Shu today, but she couldn’t pinpoint it. She had no problem eating with Chen Shu, so she nodded.

Ye Sui was a celebrity; therefore, Chen Shu booked a private room for them to eat alone.

Since Chen Shu had parked his car in the underground parking lot, there was no light from the sun. Thus, Ye Sui could see more ghosts instantly. Moreover, the parking lot was empty and cold, which was just the right place for ghosts to have leisure and entertainment.

There was a ghost lying on the roof of the car next to them. He was patting his stomach, appearing very leisurely. But as soon as he sensed Chen Shu’s energy, he immediately got up in fright and rolled to the ground.

Ye Sui got off the car and looked around to see if there was anything to avoid.

Ye Sui hurriedly bypassed the car and walked to Chen Shu’s side, shortening the distance between the two of them. It was safer to lean against Chen Shu after all.

Chen Shu saw all the little actions of Ye Sui. Her subtle expression and strange behavior signified that things were unusual.

The day was bright and clear now, with a cloudless sky. Hence, there was no reason to be afraid. Chen Shu glanced at the parking lot; there were only two of them here. Where was the third person?

If Ye Sui could see ghosts, then all of this would make sense. She had been sticking to him before. Was this the reason?

Chen Shu quietly brought Ye Sui into the restaurant. After stepping inside, Ye Sui was relieved.

This restaurant was one of Chen Family’s businesses. The manager here knew about Chen Shu and Ye Sui, so he kept his mouth shut. He led them into their room.

Ye Sui skillfully moved from the position opposite to Chen Shu and sat down beside him. In the past, she would find a reason, but now, she didn’t even bother.

“This is good, and this is delicious.” Ye Sui looked intently at the menu, commenting at the dishes.

Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui’s side face, remembering something from the past. When she was halfway through her meal, she would suddenly ask to sit next to him. Was she scared of something?

Chen Shu began to doubt his view of the world. Was there really something in this world that he could not see?
