But I couldn't refute Su Anrong's words. I was afraid of provoking him into doing something rash. Since he regarded me as his wife, I could gently express my true thoughts in the guise of a virtuous spouse, right?
The Infatuation girls looked as if they had just lost their parents, and one bold girl asked, "So can we take a shot at your idea?"
Her words instantly 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 so great!" One girl exclaimed before dashing over to us. Before I could react, I saw her tiptoe up, 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 on her backside.
"Who! Who pushed me?" she cried out in panic, but naturally, no one answered her.
I caught sight of 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 chaos, leaving behind a mess.
"Su Anrong, let go of me! I still have class!"
"Don't worry; someone will cover for you."
"Who?"
"Your son."
"Rice? Right! You need to explain this to me clearly. How did Rice become my son? I'm a living person; how could I possibly give birth to a Demon Son?"
"Who said he is a Demon Son?" Su Anrong 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 isn't that no different from being a ghost?"
"A ghost is a lingering obsession left in the world after a person dies, 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 originate from various things, 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'm human; how could I give birth to a spirit? The key point is! I'm still a... uh..." Damn it, how can I say that word out loud?
He pressed on relentlessly, "What are you?"
Handsome guy, if you keep pushing me like this, be careful I might deduct points from you!
Su Anrong grabbed the back of my head, forcing me to meet his gaze. His blue eyes sparkled like Earth in the universe, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Um?"
I pushed him away with all my strength, feeling extremely 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 face, a wicked grin on his lips. "I can see your blood boiling." No, that look in his eyes wasn't just wicked; it was… bloodthirsty.
How could I forget that he wasn't human?
I tried to open the car door, but he had already locked it. His cold yet heavy body pressed down on me as he inhaled deeply, eyes closed, his eyelashes almost brushing against my face.
I quickly raised my hand to block him. "No! I haven't showered in a week!"
"So?"
So don't you find that disgusting?
What was wrong with this guy's thought process? Did I really need to explain this?
"You wouldn't peel a potato without washing it first. Even if you wanted to drink my blood… you should at least wait until I'm clean, right?"
"Why would I want to drink your blood?" He looked genuinely curious, asking with utmost seriousness.
"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, don't vampires have long teeth and then 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, holding 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 the dark object suddenly opened its mouth...
Oh my gosh! This was alive! And it had 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. "You beast, daring to hide in my car."
"You, you, you... what on earth is that thing?"
"A reckless little ghost, ready to suck your blood."
I instinctively touched my neck. "You wouldn't have deliberately made that little ghost to scare me because you wanted to suck my blood, would you?"
"Do you really want me to suck on that?"
"I don't want to."
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere." He suddenly stopped joking and started the car.
Ten minutes later, we parked in front of a large jewelry store.
No way, he can't be taking me here, right?
"What’s with the expression like you've just eaten a fly?" He had already gotten out of the car and opened my door without me noticing.
"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—who knew you could actually eat that!"
"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, surprisingly tolerant. "Once we go in, pick out any ring you like, regardless of 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 beat me to death.
I had no choice but to shut 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 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 make him embarrass himself!
I resolved to pick the most expensive one and see how he would handle it! Even if they were Hell Coins, he probably wouldn't have enough, right?
“Bring me the most expensive ring in your store!” I boldly placed my right hand on the counter, and when the salesperson saw my dazzling diamond ring, her eyes lit up, realizing a big spender had arrived.
“Hello, miss. The most expensive ring in our store is custom-made by top designers in the world and requires an appointment. Do you have an appointment?” She spoke 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 mesmerized 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, you 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. The jewelry store erupted into chaos: “What happened? Where did all the jewelry go?”
"God! Call the police!"
In the next moment, everything returned to normal. Everyone thought they had imagined it. Although filled with confusion, no one gave it much thought.
"Excuse me, have you two made a decision?"
The store clerk's voice startled me, who was already feeling guilty. I quickly replied, "In that case, let's just pick one at random!"
"How can we just pick? 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 proceeded to try on almost every couple's ring in the store. Gold, silver, diamonds... regardless of material or price.
