Qiao Jiu brought some snacks from the kitchen and walked to Qin Ruan's side, pulling her towards the marble table.
"Ruan Jie, try the snacks I made."
She was like a little girl sharing her treasures with others, full of excitement.
Qin Ruan was pressed down on the sofa by Qiao Jiu, tasting each delicately crafted snack.
Lin Hao's eyes never left Qin Ruan throughout the process. Seeing her sitting beside him, he had a lot of things to ask, but he didn't know where to start.
At that moment, Li Manning drifted over, staring eagerly at the plate of exquisite snacks on the table.
She licked her lips, revealing a look of longing.
These were things she rarely ate in the past. Her diet was strictly controlled, and she rarely had the chance to taste delicious food.
Li Manning was sitting closest to Lin Hao.
His eyes widened, filled with fear and panic. He became stiff and dared not move.
"Qin, Qin Xiaowu?"
Qin Ruan held pastries in both hands, and Qiao Jiu was still stuffing more into her hands. Upon hearing Lin Hao calling her, she didn't even turn her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Qin Xiaowu!"
This time, his voice was even more emotional, carrying a tremor of fear.
Qin Ruan turned her head and saw Lin Hao, a tall man over six feet, trembling and staring fearfully at Li Manning.
Li Manning's eyes were fixed on the pastries in Qin Ruan's hands. Qin Ruan handed the uneaten piece to Li Manning.
The latter took it eagerly and started tasting it in small bites.
Unfortunately, as a puppet, she had lost her sense of taste. No matter how delicious the food was in her mouth, it was like chewing wax.
Qin Ruan's lips curled up, a faint smile appearing on her face, as she asked Lin Hao, "Can you see Li Manning?"
"What a stupid question!" Lin Hao was frustrated. "She's right here. How can I not see her?"
He raised his voice a little, and Li Manning, who was eating the snack, turned her head to look at him with her pitch-black eyes fixed on him.
Qin Ruan stared at Lin Hao thoughtfully.
She hadn't opened Lin Hao's Heavenly Vision, so his ability to see Li Manning indicated that there was something wrong with his constitution.
Being stared at so strangely by both a human and a ghost, a chill ran down Lin Hao's back.
It was one thing for Qin Ruan, but Li Manning's black pupils were even more eerie. He swallowed and said, "Big sister, please don't look at me, don't look at me!"
Li Manning's charming face revealed a brilliant smile as she tilted her head and asked Lin Hao, "Are you afraid of me?"
Lin Hao remained silent, keeping a vigilant gaze on her.
Li Manning found it amusing and floated towards Lin Hao.
This truly stimulated Lin Hao.
He leaped up and dashed towards the gate of the Qiao family at a speed comparable to a hundred-meter sprint.
He slipped halfway, stabilizing himself in an extremely embarrassed posture, and continued running as if his life depended on it.
"Bang!"
The door of the Qiao family was forcefully closed.
Lin Hao's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Li Manning's face showed a bewildered expression. She blinked and turned to look at Qiao Nanyuan, Qiao Jiu, and Qin Ruan. "Am I that scary?"
She touched her own face, which was still intact and not intentionally displaying a terrifying expression.
Qin Ruan was also puzzled by Lin Hao's series of actions.
Her second brother, Lu Han, Lu Yichen, and Rong Jing were all afraid of the ghost, but none of them were as scared as Lin Hao.
The speed at which the other party fled was undoubtedly the fastest she had ever seen, comparable to her second brother, Qin Mei.
Qin Ruan sought advice from Qiao Nanyuan, "Uncle Qiao, is it men are more afraid of ghost than women?"
"You can't say that. It's a personal matter. People always feel potential fear when facing unknown things. Regarding the fact that men are more afraid of ghost than women, perhaps it's because men are... well, more naive," Qiao Nanyuan pondered for a while and found the word "naive" suitable.
Qin Ruan's lips twitched at his words. She felt like he actually wanted to say they were foolish.
Not long after Lin Hao ran out, Hou Zhi pushed open the door of the Qiao family and walked in slowly.
She came to Qin Ruan and lowered her gaze, scanning the delicate pastries placed on the table, nodding gently. "Madam."
Qin Ruan asked her, "Where is Lin Hao?"
Hou Zhi replied, "He's in the car."
Qin Ruan felt somewhat worried that Lin Hao might have been too scared. "Is he okay?"
Huo Zhi recalled Lin Hao's pale face and thought for a moment, not very certain. "He should be fine."
Qin Ruan wore a helpless bitter smile on her face. Well, she scared another one.
She wondered how terrified Lin Hao must have been. A strong man like him turned into a frightened quail. That was her fault.
It had to be said that Lin Hao had shown great courage by not fainting from fear.
Qin Ruan put down the half-eaten pastry in her hand, clapped her hands, and stood up to bid farewell to the two Qiao family servants. "It seems like my friend was quite scared. I'll leave now. I'll trouble Uncle Qiao and Xiao Jiu today."
Qiao Nanyuan stood up to see her off. "Farewell, Miss Qin."
Qiao Jiu also stood up, grinning and saying, "Sister Ruan, you don't have to be so polite. If there's anything, just give the order. After all, you are even more powerful than me and Master. Maybe one day we'll have to ask for your help."
Qiao Nanyuan frowned, patting Qiao Jiu's head and scolded angrily, "What are you saying?"
This silly girl, why did she have to speak the truth?
Qiao Jiu covered his head, evading Qiao Nanyuan, and looked at him with accusing eyes, saying, "I didn't say anything wrong. Sister Ruan is so amazing, and I've always aspired to cling onto her for support in life!"
Qin Ruan couldn't hide her smile on her face. She nodded to the Qiao master and disciple and said, "If there's anything useful in the future, feel free to reach out. We'll keep in touch."
She turned around and left with Hou Zhi.
"Sister Ruan, let me see you off!" Qiao Jiu shouted loudly and quickly caught up.
Inside the car...
Lin Hao slumped weakly in the passenger seat, his heart pounding.
This world is too crazy. There are not only ghost but also underworld messengers.
This should have been a plot in a myth or on television, but one day it suddenly unfolded before his eyes. Lin Hao couldn't describe his complicated feelings in words.
He sat in the car and saw Qin Ruan and Hou Zhi being seen off by Qiao Nanyuan and Joe Jiu.
As for Li Manning, the female puppet who had been following Qin Ruan, he couldn't be seen at the moment.
Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that she's not here; he'll pretend that nothing happened.
He knew Li Manning, but knowing her doesn't mean he can accept her becoming a ghost and appearing in front of him again.
The back door of the car opened, and Qin Ruan got in.
As soon as she got in the car, her gaze fell on Lin Hao in the passenger seat. "How are you feeling? Better?"
"I won't die."
Lin Hao waved his hand weakly, his tone feeble.
Qin Ruan chuckled softly, "She can't hurt you. Why are you so afraid?"
Lin Hao's face stiffened, and he stubbornly retorted, "I'm startled, not afraid! Normal people can't stay calm when they see a ghost."
"If you say so."
Qin Ruan curved her eyes with a smile, a playful look in her gaze.
