On the dining table.

Lin Wu lowered his head and ate, transforming his unease into his appetite as he frenziedly attacked the dishes on the table with his chopsticks.

Although Mother Lin kept hinting to his son, wanting him to show some proper table manners in case he left a bad impression on Li Luyao, Lin Wu couldn’t be bothered too much and continued eating just as a hungry ghost would.

In any case, with the threat of the matchmaker, it was impossible for this easily gained wife to separate from him. So, why would he care so much?

After a tempest swept through the dishes on the dining table, Lin Wu began to drink his half-cup of orange juice. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and stand up. “I’m done eating. Later on, I still have to head out with Luyao to do something. I will only be back tonight.”

Li Luyao’s heart was filled with worry, and she didn’t really have much appetite. When she saw Lin Wu had finished eating, she also hurriedly stood up. “I’m also full now. Let’s head out then.”

When the others heard that the two main characters in this family gathering had to go, all of them put down their bowls and chopsticks.

“Luyao, come again and play in the future, okay?”

“Thank you aunty. Uncle and aunty, there’s no need to send us off. Sis He Bi, see you.”

After a polite send-off, Lin Wu then brought Li Luyao out of his house with him.

The two of them entered the lift. Lin Wu also wasn’t in a hurry to press the buttons. He first chose to ask, “Do you want to go to the 9th floor and look for my ghost friends first, or do you want to go to the bureau of civil affairs to register?”

“Mn…let’s register first,” Li Luyao spoke.

Other than being afraid of ghosts, she was also worried about her family. What would happen if something more complicated happened, and Lin Wu decided to reject marrying her?

Hence, she decided to get married first before talking about other stuff.

A short while later, the two reached the ground floor and went to the car park nearby.

Li Luyao took out her car keys from her bag and pressed it. The red-colored Mazda ahead made a sound.

The car was parked near the sidewalk. There was currently a boy and a girl squatting near a tree at the side. The girl was using a mirror to reflect the sunlight, and the guy was using a magnifying glass to focus the sunlight on the ants.

When the two of them walked closer to the car, the little boy with the magnifying glass suddenly turned and looked at Li Luyao. He spoke, “Elder sis, is this your car?”

Li Luyao glanced at the little boy and nodded. “Yup, what’s wrong?”

The little boy stood up and cautiously pointed at Li Luyao’s car. “Earlier, I saw someone sitting in your car.”

“Someone?”

Li Luyao frowned. She walked over and looked at her car. The car doors were fine, and the windows were also okay. It didn’t seem like someone had attempted to steal her car.

“When did you see it?” Li Luyao asked.

The little boy thought about it and replied, “Less than half-an-hour ago. I didn’t see someone sitting on the car; I saw someone sitting in it.”

Li Luyao puzzledly asked, “But the windows’ glasses are one-sided. It’s impossible to see anything inside the car from the outside.”

The little boy weakly spoke, “Earlier, When I was burning ants, Linlin shook the mirror and I saw from the reflection that the person in the car was pressing his face against the window…”

Yet, the little girl interjected, “Sister, don’t listen to Xixi talking nonsense. I was here burning ants for half-a-day, but I didn’t see anyone.”

“I really saw someone!” the little boy unhappily shouted.

“Is that someone still inside the car?” Lin Wu frowned slightly.

“I have no idea.” The little boy obediently shook his head. “I went to the toilet earlier, and I didn’t notice if that person left.”

Lin Wu turned and glanced at Li Luyao before speaking in a low voice, “If it is true, that person might still be in the car. We best be careful.”

Li Luyao involuntarily nodded in agreement. She took out a pepper spray from her bag and hid it behind her.

“Give it to me, you stand behind me. Let me open the door.”

Lin Wu spoke in a low voice and took the pepper spray from Li Luyao. After that, he walked to the car and drew in a deep breath before abruptly yanking the door open.

However, there was no one inside at all.

Lin Wu heaved a sigh of relief. He carefully surveyed the interior before speaking, “It’s fine, let’s enter.”

Li Luyao walked to the driver’s side and opened the door. She also did a detailed check, but the car’s interiors showed no traces of being searched before. There didn’t seem to be anyone entering.

“Seems like we were frightened for nothing.” Lin Wu shook his head and laughed. He turned and cast a glance at the little boy. “Little friend, you wouldn’t be lying to us, right?”

“I really saw someone…” The little boy lowered his head as though he was wronged.

“Uncle, don’t blame Xixi.” The little girl blinked her eyes. “His vision isn’t good, and he would often see illusions. Yesterday, his mom just brought him to the hospital to check his eyes.”

Uncle?

Lin Wu’s lips twitched. (Am I that old?)

Li Luyao could no longer control herself and laughed out loud. This little girl was really interesting. She called her sister but called Lin Wu uncle.

“Forget it, it’s raining. Let’s get into the car quickly.” Lin Wu rolled his eyes.

The little girl started. She inclined her head and saw a clear blue sky. She couldn’t help but have a dumbfounded look on her face as she asked, “Uncle, where’s the rain?”

Lin Wu grinned at her, revealing his white teeth as he replied, “Where’s the uncle?”

He then ignored the little girl who was still trying to make sense of his words and directly entered the car, sitting in the front passenger seat.

“Uncle Lin, please wear your seatbelt.” Li Luyao’s lips curled up slightly.

Lin Wu speechlessly glanced at her and spoke in an annoyed tone, “Try and call me uncle again. Then I’ll perform a ‘check-up’ of your body right now.”

“Pui.” Li Luyao blushed. She spat a little saliva at him, but she didn’t get angry.

Earlier, when she opened the door, Lin Wu had taken the initiative to stand before her. This caused her to feel a little surprised. She didn’t expect a hooligan and cowardly man like him to have such a side. Her impression of him improved by quite a bit.

The car rumbled and began to move toward the roads leading out of the district.

The little boy and girl stared at the car driving away. The little boy suddenly shouted, “Oh, I forgot to say that the person in the car has very red eyes, it’s like their eyes are bleeding.”

The little girl rolled her eyes. “You definitely must have seen it wrongly. You still said yesterday that you saw someone outside your house’s windows.”

“But I really saw it…”

“Your house is on the 9th floor, how can there be someone outside the windows?”

…

…

In the car.

“Speaking of which, if news about our marriage is told to your family, will your parents look down on me?” Lin Wu suddenly asked.

“I don’t think they would.” Li Luyao shook her head. “My parents are quite respectful of my views, and my dad also built his businesses up from nothing, so he wouldn’t care if you are rich or not. However, my second uncle is more snobbish. He might have some opinions, but he shouldn’t be able to influence anything much. Besides, my family also cannot be considered as those extremely wealthy families. We wouldn’t care about such things.”

“Alright then.” Lin Wu nodded. “I don’t want people at your house to roll their eyes at me and play games of human emotions, treating me coldly or warmly based on their feelings at the spur of the moment.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give you the cold shoulder. Besides, I don’t dare to neglect you. What if you want to divorce me because you are unhappy? I would be completely finished then.” Li Luyao hurriedly consoled Lin Wu.

Lin Wu involuntarily smiled. He shook his head. “Look at how nervous you are. I already said I will marry you, I won’t take back my words. However, it’s better if you put on a cold look on your face. An icy beauty is more attractive.”

“…”

Li Luyao’s expression turned cold a moment later.

“Woah, spot on. Che, you are extremely beautiful like this.” Lin Wu chortled as he praised. He suddenly felt a little cold and involuntarily asked, “Why is the air-conditioning in your car so powerful?”

“Is it?” As Li Luyao turned the steering wheel, she cast a glance at the air-conditioning knob. She involuntarily rubbed her arm after that. “Now that you mentioned it, it does seem a little cold.”

“It seems like it must be due to your aura. An ice queen is always different from others.” Lin Wu laughed. “With you here, there’s no need to turn on the air-conditioner at all even during summer. If I’m too hot, I’ll just treat you like a bolster and hug you, how wonderful would that be?”

Li Luyao felt her face burning due to his hooligan remarks. She was too embarrassed to answer him.

Seeing that she was not talking, Lin Wu felt the atmosphere wasn’t bad. He also didn’t continue teasing her and merely smiled as he contemplated the decorations in the car, basking in the atmosphere.

All of a sudden~

“Mn?”

Lin Wu’s gaze accidentally swept past the rearview mirror, and he saw a pair of cold, deep, and bone-chilling red eyes!

A pair of bleeding eyes!

Staring right at him fixedly!
