Chapter 1045 I Knew All About Your Body

It was nighttime, the sky was murky and a thin drizzle was falling in the area where a celebrity apartment was located.The houses within the Third Ring Road in the Capital were not exactly cheap.

However, this apartment was indeed sold at a ridiculously sky-high price.

Other than the other villa area in Western Town, this apartment was probably the most expensive building around.

One could see successful and influential individuals entering the apartment while holding their briefcases.

Every unit in the apartment was equipped with top-notch electronic services. Thus, it had maximum security as there were surveillance cameras everywhere.

Of course, the cameras were no more than just a pile of iron scraps. With just a swift blink...

The cameras would seem to come to life and hastily avoided recording his image.

Helian Wei Wei was still worried if His Highness would be seen in that form. She put on a hoodie for him but his grey-white ears were still upright, looking extremely adorable.

On the surface, the apartment did not seem to be haunted.

This apartment was even built at a location with exceptionally great Feng Shui, as it was constructed on the mountain ranges, or Dragon Vein in Feng Shui terminology, that ran from east to west. Additionally, the Summer Palace was erected at the end of the architecture. They must have sought advice from the professional Feng Shui masters when they built this apartment, as the Yin and Yang were very balanced and the aura of resentment would not accumulate easily. It was indeed a very impressive apartment.

Helian Wei Wei was still holding Baili Jia Jue. She did not notice anything peculiar when they entered the apartment.

The apartment was eerily quiet, with seemingly few people around, while the marble floor glistened under the artificial lighting. It was clearly a very luxurious apartment and every corner of the building was sparkling clean.

A person was entering to go into the lift, before turning his head around and peering at Helian Wei Wei, as though wanting to ask them some questions.

His Highness' head was still lowered, without looking up at him.

Helian Wei Wei merely waved her hands at the person with a smiling face.

That person mumbled to himself, "When did these two weird people move into this apartment?"

It was inevitable as Helian Wei Wei was indeed dressed weirdly in others' eyes. After all, no normal people would leave their house in a kasaya.

Baili Jia Jue looked down and smiled, still holding Helian Wei Wei's hand with his finger. "It seems like someone thinks that we look suspicious."

"There are many people who judge people by their outer appearances nowadays." Helian Wei Wei shrugged her shoulders indifferently. She furrowed her eyebrows when she looked at Baili Jia Jue, saying, "Look at you, you're a teenager but you're wearing a black suit and black gloves. People who don't know you might think that you're cosplaying someone. Why don't you change your clothes?"

Baili Jia Jue merely stared at Helian Wei Wei and kissed her fingertips with his cold yet tender lips. "Only this kind of clothes would make me look like your loyal dog. Moreover, I thought that you love haughty but secretly affectionate men, right?"

Helian Wei Wei glared at him and asked, "How do you know?"

"How can I not understand my master's mind?" Baili Jia Jue smiled as he rubbed his ears against her neck and whispered seductively, "I also know which part of your body would be stimulated when touched, heh."

Helian Wei Wei was not used to being hugged in the lift. Even if His Highness seemed very adorable, she was embarrassed about being overly intimate with him in public.

Helian Wei Wei coughed loudly, and then pushed His Highness away. "Alright, we've arrived at the tenth floor. Let's get down to business."

Baili Jia Jue disliked being pushed away, especially when the order was still in effect.

"Why aren't you moving?" Helian Wei Wei turned her head around in confusion.

Baili Jia Jue wore a little smile and replied, "Nothing."

They followed the information from the conversation with the customer and slowly walked to the front of unit 101. Every residence here was a duplex unit, with the upper and lower levels connected by a set of stairs. Furthermore, the door was made from high-end materials and would reflect cold rays of light from its metallic surface.

Helian Wei Wei did not hesitate and immediately started to key in the password for the digital lock based on the password given by the customer.

However, after only pressing two numbers, the door was abruptly opened from inside.

Weirdly, the person who opened the door was not a woman.

Instead, it was a very handsome man with tousled short hair and a cold expression. A pair of golden-rimmed glasses were perched on his straight nose, and his face seemed curiously familiar.

Instantly, Helian Wei Wei recalled where she had seen him.

He was the top doctor who was very famous recently. Not only did he come from a stellar family background, but he was also extremely good looking and wealthy. He even represented the First Hospital to participate in an international symposium. When the media released his photos, swarms of netizens immediately made him their new idol.

After all, it would not be an exaggeration to claim that this man was a winner in life.

Many women desperately wanted to marry him.

However, most of them quickly abandoned the idea when they saw a certain photo.

In the photo, a charmingly gorgeous lady was standing beside the man in the photo. According to the rumors, both of them were a perfect match. They were both professionals, as well as senior and junior from the same school. Needless to say, they were simply a match made in heaven.

When Helian Wei Wei saw the news in the past, she had not been reunited with Baili Jia Jue. She was playing Plant and Zombies with Little Qingchen in her arms when the news popped up on the television.

She did not expect to meet the real person here.

The man looked like he had just taken a shower, even his short hair was completely soaked wet. When he narrowed his eyes, he seemed extremely uncongenial and distant. He looked at Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue with a vigilant glare and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Helian Wei Wei laughed a little as she blocked Baili Jia Jue and replied, "We are Lan Ya's friend. She asked us to come and take something for her. Is it okay with you, Mr. Chen?"

The man seemed dumbfounded, as his facial expression started to change. He asked a hint of ridicule, "What is it? Why didn't she come personally for it?"

"She's probably worried about disturbing you." Helian Wei Wei was still smiling but at that moment, her vision shifted from him toward the shadowy silhouette behind him.

That was her customer.

She was not a lost ghost.

Rather, the one who looked for Wei Wei was Lan Ya, a soul who was trapped in this house.

Other than Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue, no one else could see Lan Ya's presence.

At that moment, Lan Ya was looking at the man with inexpressible grief.

The man was still smiling, with a glint of menace in his lips. "She would not ask you to come here if she doesn't want to bother me. Where is she now?"

Lan Ya shook her head at Helian Wei Wei.

Immediately, Helian Wei Wei understood what Lan Ya meant. She lied to him and replied, "She has been in a bad mood recently, so one of our male friends accompanied her to a foreign country. Mr. Chen is a doctor, so you should know that from the point of view of human ethology, the best way to forget a failed relationship is to replace it with a new one."

The man's finger froze for a moment. Then, he laughed sarcastically and said, "Isn't it more than enough to use the same trick once? She even used it twice. When did she become so silly? In that case, please tell her clearly that she must come here personally if she wants to take anything." magic

When she heard this, Lan Ya lowered her head sadly. Her long hair had slipped across her face, covering her facial expressions.

Even so, she still could not conceal the air of bitter misery emanating from her...

Chapter 1046 Obsession

Helian Wei Wei peered at her closely, before facing the man again and smiling at him. "We have to try our best to do what was entrusted to us. Since Lan Ya asked us to come here, we can't return with empty hands. Since Mr. Chen dislikes her, why do you want to meet her again? Wouldn't you be happier if she doesn't appear?"The man tightened his hand that was holding a towel. His voice lowered with a menacing grunt. "Huh, she's smarter this time, sending a smooth talker like you here. I really thought she has given up, but it seems like she's merely pretending to take one step back."

"Pretending to take one step back?" Lan Ya laughed in disbelief. One could only wonder if it was aimed at the man or herself. They had known each other for so many years and she had always wanted to treat him well. However, why did she become a hateful vampire in his eyes? He seemed to assume that all of the decisions that she made was to upset and trick him. In actuality, she had never wished for him to be unhappy.

Everyone says that the important thing is not what one has done.

Rather, it's about who is the one that does it.

If that other person treated him in this way...

Perhaps, he would not have this kind of reaction.

After all, the person was perfect and flawless in his heart. Unlike her, in his eyes, she was probably a rude and unreasonable rich man's daughter who thought highly of herself and oppressed others with her wealth.

However, it was time to let him go. She had exchanged some things for him to stay by her side. He had begun to despise her, but another lady even entered the picture now.

When they signed the contract, she had agreed that if he met a person that he loved, she would set him free once the contract expired.

Now, the two people started to appear in front of the media. As the most outstanding doctor, they were simply a perfect match.

Instead, she seemed like an annoying obstacle between them. It was not a mystery why he would hate her so much.

Lan Ya placed her hand on her forehead, pressing against her messily hanging hair. She seemed to have made up her mind and said something to Helian Wei Wei.

However, the man could not hear it at all.

Everything in the living realm was separated from those from the underworld.

If the media did not broadcast it, the people in the living realm could not hear the sound emitted by a soul.

Naturally, Helian Wei Wei was different from normal humans as she was a Phoenix. She looked at Lan Ya and slightly nodded. Then, she shifted her gaze onto the man and said bluntly, "Mr. Chen, your reactions are within her expectations. Lan Ya said that if you're still worried that she would not give up and keep clinging onto you, you can open the cabinet in your office room. The two original copies of the contract that you signed previously are inside it, so you can burn or destroy them."

She added, "As for others, she has already informed her family, saying that both of you had broken up peacefully. Thus, you don't need to worry that the relationship between the two families would turn sour because of the breakup. Even her elder brother would not ask you to be responsible for her anymore. Even this time, she must travel overseas with her close friends. Maybe she was too silly and could not understand this in the past, but this time, she has made up her mind. She even asks me to apologize to you on her behalf when I see you. Although she can't wish you well with a smiling face now, she believes that everything will return to normal when she comes home in three years."

"She hopes that you can forgive her. She's one year older than you, but she never went easy on you and always forced you to do something. After all, both of your families have been friends for many years, she doesn't want the amicable relationship to be destroyed. She is the one to start this. Maybe you won't believe it, but she really wants to set you free now. Lastly, she said that she hopes that you can live together with Xiao Ziqiu forever."

"You're lying." The man broke into a peal of laughter in disbelief after he heard Helian Wei Wei. "It is impossible for her to say all these."

Helian Wei Wei stared into his eyes fixedly and replied, "If you don't believe me, Mr. Chen, you can go and check whether the contract is in the cabinet or not. The relationship between you and her is built because of the contract. Oh yeah, she said that you're worried that she has some indecent photos in her handphone, especially of both of you. She claimed that she really loved taking photos with you at that time, so she would not delete the photos in the end. The handphone is in the cabinet too. Now, she doesn't have anything that could threaten you. You can be in a relationship without worrying about her any longer. As for the things that she has asked me to take, you can burn them if you really don't want to give them to me. She would not come here anymore."

"It couldn't be better!" The man's voice shouted coldly as he closed the door.

He honestly thought that he would have to see that irritable face again.

Surprisingly, everything had gone beyond his expectations.

"Is this a new trick?"

The man smiled coldly and took a sip of water, as if he only could suppress the sense of loss from his heart by doing so.

However, an unknown uneasiness urged him to quickly run into his study. He hurriedly pulled out the contents of the cabinet, without bothering about his aching hand that was sprained during the emergency surgery earlier today.

All of the things that Helian Wei Wei mentioned were there.

The man's pupils grew large as he gripped his fists so tightly, it felt slightly painful. Despite that, he did not loosen his hands.

Then, he started to make a call. It was the same as before, she had turned off her handphone.

As though the man could not suppress his feelings anymore, he violently smashed the handphone onto the ground.

Only half of the screen was still functioning, displaying the call that he had just made. The person that he called was none other than Lan Ya.

At this moment, Lan Ya had already known her situation as a soul.

She was standing despondently at the door of unit 101 with a bitter smile. Then, she looked at Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue and said, "No wonder the person on the other end of the phone would always hang up after saying hello when I picked it up. So, it turns out that it's not their problem. Instead, they literally could not hear me. The problem is...me. I'm dead, am I right?

Helian Wei Wei did not answer her question. Instead, she asked in return, "You're in this apartment since you opened your eyes and had never left?"

"Yes." Lan Ya nodded.

Helian Wei Wei looked around and asked, "Have you ever thought of leaving here?"

"I have, but the furthest I can go is just outside the door. I can't go further." Lan Ya tried to take a step forward to demonstrate it. However, she was obstructed every time she tried to move forward, as if something was trapping her there.

Helian Wei Wei reached out her hand to touch it, as a glimpse of realization flashed in her eyes. "It's an obsession."

"Obsession?" Lan Ya did not understand what she meant.

Helian Wei Wei looked directly at her and replied, "Yes, obsession. If it's possible, can you please tell me what happened between you and Mr. Chen?"

"We were still lovers three days ago." Lan Ya's smile seemed utterly bitter as she said, "It's just that while other people enter their relationships willingly, I use some things to exchange for it..."
