Ghost Exorciser: Is Loved By All
Chapter 731: Temptation

Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Temptation

Sheng Yin’s heart skipped a beat and the women’s empowerment speech she was about to say, seemed to have struck in her throat.

She pointed at Yu Shuchang with a speechless expression for a long while, before her ears turned red and she stood up,

"What nonsense!"

"What? I am not lying. I have clearly stated in the contract that I belong to you. As my owner, you have to show some decency!" Yu Shuchang shot back confidently.

Sheng Yin frowned and started to go through the contract. The more she read the more absurd it seem.

It was completely different from the original contract.

The contract stated that Sheng Yin was responsible for Yu Shuchang and that they would have to walk down the aisle if, by the age of 25, Sheng Yin didn’t find anyone.

But she was going to be 25 next month!

There was a more absurd clause, but Sheng Yin didn’t want to get her blood pressure high and hence stopped there.

She turned toward Yu Shuchang with a furious face and asked,

"What is this? This contract is clearly different from the one I read!"

"Ah...about that, do you remember that the coffee spilled on the first contract you were going to sign?

At that time, I didn’t have a copy of that, but I didn’t want to waste your time more, so I gave you the other contract." Yu Shuchang said nonchalantly.

Sheng Yin’s face turned red with anger.

"You tricked me!" she shouted, pointing at Yu Shuchang.

Yu Shuchang raised an eyebrow, looking very calm. "I didn’t trick you. You signed it yourself."

Sheng Yin clenched her fists. "I didn’t know it had such crazy rules!"

Yu Shuchang shrugged. "A contract is a contract."

Sheng Yin took a deep breath, trying not to explode. "So you’re saying I have to marry you if I don’t find someone by next month?"

Yu Shuchang nodded like it was no big deal. "Yes."

Sheng Yin grabbed the contract and shook it. "I’m tearing this up!"

Yu Shuchang smirked. "Go ahead. But I have many copies."

Sheng Yin was so angry that she laughed,

"Haha! Do you think I will take it lying down? Huh? You don’t know! I have connections! Not to mention I can sue you for tricking me into signing this!"

"Well, logically you can’t. Please read the NDA form attached to the contract’s last page." Yu Shuchang smiled.

Sheng Yin quickly flipped to the last page, her eyes scanning the fine print. The more she read, the more her face twisted in disbelief.

Her hands clenched the paper so tightly that it crumpled. "You... You actually made me sign an NDA too?!"

Yu Shuchang nodded, completely relaxed. "Yes. Which means you can’t tell anyone about this contract. If you do, you’ll have to pay a huge penalty."

Sheng Yin’s jaw dropped. "How much?!"

Yu Shuchang smiled lazily. "Not much. Just a few billion."

Sheng Yin heaved a sigh of relief.

She had a few billion yuan in her savings!

As if reading Sheng Yin’s thoughts, Yu Shuchang chuckled and continued,

"Few billion dollars."

Sheng Yin’s legs almost gave out. "BILLION DOLLARS?!"

Yu Shuchang tilted his head. "Oh? Do you not have that much?"

Sheng Yin gritted her teeth. "Of course not!"

"Then, I guess you have no choice but to follow the contract," Yu Shuchang said smoothly, crossing his arms.

Sheng Yin’s breath was shaky. She wanted to punch something. Preferably Yu Shuchang’s smug face.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"There must be a loophole... You can’t possibly expect me to just accept this!"

Yu Shuchang’s smirk widened. "Actually, I do."

Sheng Yin’s hands balled into fists.

"No way. I still have one month. I’ll find a boyfriend before my birthday, just watch!"

Yu Shuchang leaned closer, his voice slow and teasing.

"Why don’t you try me instead? I have a lot of assets. I can cook, I have a well-defined body, and I also have abs.

Oh, right, I am ready to put all the properties under my name after marriage. Even my income will go into your hands. You won’t have to lift even your finger, I can spoil you so much."

Sheng Yin bit her lips.

A question that she was suppressing from the start of the conversation became more prominent.

Her heart shouted at her for asking it, but her mind said otherwise.

"You...you have feelings for me?" She asked hesitantly.

Some part of her mind screamed that she messed up, but her heart...her heart was beating with anticipation.

Yu Shuchang blinked, then suddenly laughed.

Sheng Yin felt her face get hot.

"W-Why are you laughing?! Was it such a stupid question?"

Yu Shuchang leaned back against the chair, looking at her with amusement. "No, no. It’s just... you finally asked."

Sheng Yin’s heart skipped a beat. "So...?"

Yu Shuchang tilted his head, eyes twinkling. "What do you think?"

Sheng Yin swallowed.

She wasn’t sure if she wanted to hear the answer.

But before she could stop herself, she whispered, "Tell me."

Yu Shuchang stood up and stepped closer.

Sheng Yin stiffened but didn’t move back.

He lowered his voice.

"I wouldn’t go this far if I didn’t care about you, would I?"

Sheng Yin’s breath hitched. Her brain told her this was a trick, but her heart... her heart was thumping like crazy.

"So...you truly like me."

"Nah." Yu Shuchang shook his head and Sheng Yin felt as if someone had poured cold water on her.

She felt a lump in her throat, the sound of her heartbreaking seemed to echo in her ears.

But before she could react, Yu Shuchang leaned toward her ears and whispered,

"I am obsessed with you. And this obsession is growing day by day...say what should I do?"

Sheng Yin’s whole body froze.

Her ears burned. Her brain stopped working.

Yu Shuchang’s voice was too close. His words... too dangerous.

She quickly stepped back, almost tripping over the chair.

"Y-You! What kind of nonsense are you saying?!"

Yu Shuchang chuckled. His eyes, dark and full of amusement, followed her every move.

"Is it nonsense? But it’s the truth."

Sheng Yin pointed at him, trying to act tough. "That’s called being a creepy stalker!"

Yu Shuchang shrugged. "Maybe. But I don’t mind, as long as it’s you."

Sheng Yin choked on air.

What kind of shameless man was this?!

However, for the first time, she felt joy in her heart.

Yu Shuchang likes her! He said he was obsessed with her!

Sheng Yin’s eyes involuntarily fell on Yu Shuchang’s lips and she suddenly remembered the feel of those beautiful and plump lips.

Yu Shuchang noticed Sheng Yin staring at his lips. His heart skipped a beat, but outside, he stayed calm. A slow, teasing smile spread across his face.

He leaned a little closer, his voice low and smooth. "Like what you see?"

Sheng Yin snapped out of her daze, her face turning bright red.

"W-What nonsense are you saying now?!"

Yu Shuchang chuckled, his eyes shining with amusement.

"I’m just saying... if you want something, you should take it."

Sheng Yin stepped back, but her eyes kept betraying her. They flickered to his lips again before she forced herself to look away.

Yu Shuchang smirked. He lifted a hand and gently tapped his own lips.

"Go on, you don’t have to hold back. I told you already, I’m all yours."

Sheng Yin’s breath hitched. "S-Shameless!"

Yu Shuchang shrugged. "Maybe. But if you really don’t want to, why are you still looking?"

Sheng Yin clenched her fists. "I—I’m not!"

"Come on darling, I just had butterscotch cake, your favorite. Don’t you want to taste it?" Yu Shuchang asked as he bit his lower lips.

Sheng Yin’s mind screamed at her to run, but her body refused to move. Her heart was thumping so loud, she thought it might jump out of her chest.

Yu Shuchang’s voice was like a spell, pulling her in. His lips, still glistening from the butterscotch cake, looked way too tempting.

Before she could stop herself, she leaned forward. Just a little. Then a little more.

And then—her lips touched his.

The moment they connected, a jolt of electricity shot through her body. It was soft, warm, and... sweet.

But as soon as she realized what she had done, her eyes widened. Her brain finally caught up.

She tried to pull back.

But Yu Shuchang didn’t let her.

His hands moved to the back of her head, pulling her in before she could escape.

His lips pressed deeper against hers, firm and possessive, as if he had been waiting for this moment forever.

Sheng Yin gasped against his mouth, but that only made it worse—Yu Shuchang took advantage of it, tilting his head and deepening the kiss.

Her hands, which were supposed to push him away, instead clutched at his shirt.

He was warm. Too warm.

His scent—fresh, clean, and just a little bit of danger—made her head spin.

Yu Shuchang’s lips moved against hers with slow, teasing confidence, as if savoring the taste of her.
