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.”
