But I couldn't refute Su Anrong's words. I was afraid of provoking him into doing something rash. Since he considered me his wife, I could gently express my true thoughts in the guise of a virtuous wife, right?
The Infatuation girls looked as if they had just lost their parents, but one bold girl asked, "So can we take your idea?"
This immediately drew agreement from everyone.
Su Anrong kicked the ball back to me, "What do you say?"
"I... uh... haha..." I laughed foolishly, "Whatever."
"Wow! Youmai Vegetable, you're just too great!" One girl exclaimed before running up to us. Before I could react, I saw her tiptoe, preparing to kiss Su Anrong.
I widened my eyes; wasn't this a bit too bold?
However, before she could reach him, she inexplicably stumbled backward and fell hard.
"Who! Who pushed me?" she cried out in panic, but naturally, no one answered her.
But I noticed Rice, who had appeared out of nowhere, hiding behind the railing and making faces at me. I could only mourn for that girl.
Su Anrong quickly took my hand and led me away from the scene, leaving chaos behind.
"Su Anrong, let go of me! I still have class!"
"Don't worry, someone will cover for you."
"Who?"
"Your son."
"Rice? Right! You have to explain this to me clearly. How did Rice become my son? I'm a living person, how could I give birth to a Demon Son?"
"Who said he is a Demon Son?" Su Anrong abruptly shoved me into the car.
"Who are you kidding? If he's not a ghost, then what is he, a monster?"
"We are spirits." He naturally fastened my seatbelt and returned to the driver's seat.
So, he can't just teleport with me?
"Then what's the difference from a ghost?"
"A ghost is a remnant of human obsession left in the world after death, with both good and evil thoughts. When evil thoughts accumulate to a certain extent, they become what people commonly refer to as malevolent spirits or vengeful ghosts. But no matter what, ghosts originated from humans. Spirits, on the other hand, can come from various sources, both living and non-living. After undergoing certain specific changes, anything can potentially become a spirit. Ghosts are indeed a type of spirit, but not all spirits are ghosts. Do you understand?"
"I understand, sure. Even if you are some kind of spirit, I am human. How could I give birth to a spirit? The key point is! I am still..." Damn it, how can I say that word out loud?
He relentlessly pressed on, "What are you?"
Handsome guy, if you keep pushing me like this, be careful I might deduct points from you!
Su Anrong firmly held the back of my head, forcing me to meet his gaze. His blue-glowing eyes resembled Earth in the universe—breathtakingly beautiful.
"Um?"
I pushed him away with all my strength, feeling incredibly embarrassed and angry. "Can't you see for yourself?"
It was so stuffy in the car; I needed some fresh air.
Su Anrong lightly patted my flushed cheeks, a wicked grin on his face as he said, "I can see your blood boiling." No, that look in his eyes wasn't just wickedness; it was... bloodthirsty.
How could I forget that he wasn't human?
I tried to open the car door, but he had locked it. His cold yet heavy body pressed down on me, and he inhaled deeply, eyes closed. His eyelashes nearly brushed against my face.
I quickly raised my hand to block his chest. "No! I haven't showered in a week!"
"So?"
So don't you think it's dirty?
What was wrong with this guy's thought process? Did I really need to explain this?
"You wash a potato before peeling it. Even if you want to drink my blood... you should wait until I'm clean, right?"
"Why would I want to drink your blood?" He looked genuinely curious, asking earnestly.
"Stop pretending! The only thing missing is your fangs; only a fool wouldn't see that you want to suck my blood!"
"Why do you think my teeth can grow longer?" he continued to ask.
"Aren't you a ghost? On TV, vampires always have long teeth and suck people's blood. Don't think I don't understand anything."
"Haha!" He suddenly laughed, his long fingers reaching over from my neck.
"Ah! What are you going to do?"
His body pressed almost completely against mine, and then he pulled out a soft black object from behind me and held it up in front of my face.
"Stop watching unreliable horror movies. Also, I'm a spirit, not a ghost."
I felt utterly embarrassed, and that dark object suddenly opened its mouth wide...
Oh my gosh! It's alive! And it has teeth!
I was frozen in fear, with nowhere to hide!
Just as that thing was about to bite me, Su Anrong waved his hand and threw it out the window: "Beast, daring to hide in my car."
"You, you, you... what on earth was that thing?"
"A reckless little ghost, ready to suck your blood."
I instinctively touched my neck. "You didn't want to be discovered by me, so you deliberately made that little ghost to scare me, did you?"
"Do you really want me to take a hit?"
"I don't want to."
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere." He suddenly dropped the joke and finally started the car.
Ten minutes later, we stopped in front of a large jewelry store.
No way, he can't be taking me here, can he?
"What’s with that expression? You look like you just swallowed a fly," he said, having gotten out of the car and opening my door.
"What? This is clearly the expression of someone who just ate a grasshopper!"
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course there is! Eating a fly is disgusting, but eating a grasshopper is surprising—like, I can't believe this is edible!"
"So you're surprised that I brought you here?"
"I just think it's not right for you to use Hell Coins to trick people." I pouted and got out of the car.
"I told you I'm not a ghost." He explained patiently, showing impressive tolerance. "Once we go in, pick out your favorite ring, no matter the material or price."
"Did your relatives burn a lot of money for you?"
“Youmai Vegetable, are you trying to be a side dish?” The Handsome Man finally couldn't hold back, gritting his teeth, looking as if he wanted to punch me.
I had no choice but to close my mouth and obediently follow him into the jewelry store.
A ghost—well, a spirit—gave me a ring, and that wasn't enough? He actually wanted to buy more? Did he really think Hell Coins were the same as Renminbi?
Since that's the case, I decided to have some fun with him. I would make sure the Salesperson saw how much money he had and embarrass him!
I resolved to pick the most expensive one and see how he would handle it! Even if they were Hell Coins, he probably didn't have enough, right?
“Bring me your most expensive ring!” I said boldly, deliberately placing my right hand on the counter. The salesperson's eyes lit up when she saw my dazzling diamond ring, instantly recognizing that a big spender had arrived.
“Hello, miss. The most expensive ring in our store is custom-made by a world-class designer and requires an appointment. Do you have one?” she asked while sneaking glances at Su Anrong.
Su Anrong leaned in with a half-smile and whispered in my ear, “You know they can't even see the ring on your hand.”
What?! Then what did her sparkling eyes mean? Was she just captivated by Su Anrong's looks?
I gritted my teeth and asked quietly, “Are you messing with me?”
“Aren't you tired of the trouble this ring brings? I just made it invisible. As long as I'm by your side, I can hide anything.”
“Is that for real? Then why don't you try hiding all the jewelry in this store?”
As soon as I finished speaking, my jaw nearly dropped in shock, followed by chaos erupting in the jewelry store: “What happened? Where did all the jewelry go?”
“God! Call the police!”
In the next moment, everything returned to normal. Everyone thought they had just imagined it. Although filled with confusion, they didn’t dwell on it.
“Excuse me, have you two made a decision?”
The voice of the store clerk startled me, who was already feeling guilty. I quickly replied, “In that case, let’s just pick one at random!”
“How can we do that? This is our wedding ring.” Su Anrong grabbed my hand and placed it in front of the clerk. “Based on her finger shape, let’s try all the suitable ones.”
“This…”
“Su Anrong, are you crazy? Who buys things like this?” Trying on everything would drive the clerk mad.
“With me here, what are you afraid of?”
So, we ended up trying on almost all the couple rings in the store—gold, silver, diamonds… regardless of material or price.
