Chapter 1898 Living with Mr. Ghost 23 Things 13

"You sold yourself to get promoted, otherwise how could you be promoted so smoothly?"

"Do you think I'm the only one in the news agency who feels this way? I don't know how many people are cursing you behind your back!"

……

The sound of splashing water was particularly clear in the bathroom. Xia Tan half-lay in the bathtub, letting the shower head above spray water down.

After a while, Xia Tan ignored the voice in his head, pursed his lips and made a phone call.

After several busy tones, the call was finally connected.

"mom…"

"Xiao Tan, why did you call mom again? Didn't you say your uncle would be unhappy? Tell me what's going on."

Xia Tan tightened her grip on the phone, blinked her wet eyelashes, and said in a tone that didn't sound unusual, "It's okay, how are you doing lately?"

"Everything is fine. I hope your work is going well. You haven't given me much money recently, but forget it. It won't make your uncle angry."

Xia Tan lowered his eyes and looked at the bubbles in the bathtub. His voice seemed to be dampened by the steam. "Mom, my work...is not going well."

There was silence on the other end of the computer for a few seconds. "What can mom do? Worrying about your brother's studies is enough to give me a headache. Xiao Tan, you've grown up, so please let me worry less in the future."

Xia Tan's hopeful eyes completely drooped, "I know."

After hanging up the phone, the water in the bathtub turned completely cold.

Xia Tan felt cold all over, as if he was soaked in ice water, and his body and mind were hypothermic.

His Adam's apple moved, but it seemed as if it was blocked by something. Only burning tears fell, not causing any ripples in the cold water in the bathtub.

The bathroom door opened silently.

Jinchen didn't care about anyone's privacy at all. He walked in calmly, lifted Xia Tan's chin and took a look, "Why are you crying again?"

He turned off the shower, reached out to test the water temperature in the bathtub, and said dangerously, "Do you want to become an ice man?"

Xia Tan looked up at him quietly, clenching her shoulders very tightly, and the sound of her words betrayed her inner unrest.

"Are you going to control me?"

Xia Tan didn't know why he asked this question, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to hear Jinchen's answer.

"If I don't take care of you, who will?" Jinchen said.

Xia Tan stared at Jinchen for a long time, as if he wanted to confirm something.

Jin Chen half-rolled up his sleeves and carried Xia Tan directly out of the water. His body temperature was adjusted to be no different from that of a human, and at this moment he was even warmer than Xia Tan.

People always crave warm things.

Xia Tan hugged Jin Chen's shoulders and whispered: "I haven't put on my clothes yet..."

"What should I wear to sleep?"

Jinchen answered confidently, wrapped Xia Tan in a bath towel, and carried him out.

The person in his arms was tense and still trembling.

Jinchen leaned over and held the person in his arms and put him on the bed. He raised his hand and gently stroked Xia Tan's back, patting him lightly, as if coaxing a child.

"Do you really want to control me? Why?"

Xia Tan curled up in his arms and asked again stubbornly. Even though the slight drunkenness had not yet dissipated, she stared at Jin Chen's brows seriously. At this moment, she didn't care whether he was a human or a ghost.

Even nonsense sounds nice.

Jin Chen looked down at him, wiped away the tears from Xia Tan's eyes, and teased, "Be obedient and let me kiss you."

"You are mine, of course I take care of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jinchen kissed the corner of Xia Tan's lips, pressed against the tip of his nose, and their lips and teeth intertwined.

Xia Tan felt so limp from the kiss that she felt like she was stuck in the quilt, unable to muster any strength. The fingers that wanted to push him away seemed to be resting on Jin Chen's shoulders, as if she was trying to resist but was actually trying to welcome him.

The fear of evil spirits cannot outweigh the loneliness and anxiety.

What's more, for him, Jinchen at this moment is visible and tangible, hot and with a strong presence, and he always forgets in a trance that Jinchen is not a human being.

Until she was thrown into the quilt, Jinchen easily took control of everything and would not let her refuse.

There were dense and ambiguous kiss marks on Xia Tan's neck. New tears fell, and were kissed away by Jinchen in an instant.

"I am afraid……"

Xia Tan sobbed softly, more like she was acting coquettishly.

Jinchen leaned over and kissed her soothingly, but this time he was not so easy to deal with and his punitive actions never stopped.

"Don't be afraid, Xiao Tan."

Jinchen kissed his earlobe, his voice was slightly dangerous, but it made people fall for him involuntarily, "Be good, don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt."

Perhaps it was because the coaxing tone in the ear was too bewitching, Xia Tan lightly touched with her fingertips, gradually hugged Jin Chen's neck, rubbed it affectionately, with a misty look in her eyes.

So that night, he cried even harder.

No matter whether Jinchen is a human or a scary ghost, he will just bite him by the shoulder.

[The villain's darkening value is detected -5, totaling 42! 】

[The villain's heart rate is detected +10, totaling 30! 】

-

A ridiculous night.

Xia Tan had been suffering from back pain the whole morning. After what happened, he didn't want to go to the company at all, and Jinchen didn't allow him to go out.

Probably a punishment for running around last night.

Xia Tan thought that this was too strict, but he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Being controlled by a ghost is a very novel experience.

Xia Tan didn't know where the throbbing in his heart came from, and he couldn't suppress it. He was at a loss as to what to do.

What Jinchen saw when he came in was the conflicted expression on Little Bee's face.

Jinchen leaned over and pulled Xia Tan's face, smiling wickedly, "What are you thinking about?"

If we say that we were drunk last night, the gazes we exchanged now would inevitably have a different kind of ambiguity. Xia Tan was the first to look away and crawled deeper into the quilt. "No... I'm not thinking about anything."

Jinchen didn't give him the chance to escape. He picked him up in his arms and kissed Xia Tan without any question.

"Tell me what you found out from the investigation with the police officer before."

Xia Tan didn't quite understand why he asked it a few days ago, but he still answered honestly. When talking about the family tree, Jinchen's expression changed slightly.

The brutality and anger he felt when he saw Jiang Wen's body resurfaced.

Jinchen hugged Xia Tan's arm tightly and asked, "Where is the family tree?"

“I was taken away by the police officer, but I took photos.”

Xia Tan showed him the photos on her phone and carefully observed Jin Chen's expression. "Do you know the people in them?"

“I don’t know him at the moment.”

Jinchen enlarged the photo, and the anger in his heart suddenly grew, as if what he saw was not a family tree, but a list of people with whom he had a blood feud.

Even worse than Jiang Wen.

"…Jin, Lan."

Jinchen pronounced the name word by word, an unfamiliar violent emotion filling all his senses, and endless coldness leaked from his eyes.

“…Jinchen, what’s wrong with you?”

Xia Tan was frightened by such materialized hatred and instinctively wanted to escape. After hesitating for a moment, he gently held Jin Chen's fingers, his voice trembling.

"You don't know them, why is that?"

Jinchen said he didn't know either.

But if you want to find out who he is, you have to start from the Jin family.

"Be good, tell me where the family tree is."

Jinchen kissed the corner of Xia Tan's eyes, but there was no warmth in his eyes. The red mole at the end of his left eye made him look even more gloomy, making people feel fear for no reason.

Xia Tan also shook his shoulders, feeling that something bad was going to happen. "It should be... transferred to the Strange Investigation Department. Do you want to get it?"

"I want revenge."

Jin Chen didn't say anything directly, but gently stroked Xia Tan's back, saying in an ambiguous tone, "Xiao Tan, don't be afraid of me."

"Be good, I won't hurt you."

Xia Tan's ears felt hot, and he obediently accepted Jin Chen's kiss, and whispered, "Then don't kill anyone... okay?"

"it is good."

Jinchen stuffed him into the quilt, stood up, straightened his sleeves, and smiled at Xia Tan.

The next moment, Jinchen's figure disappeared in the room.

Xia Tan burrowed into the quilt as if exhausted, and let out a light breath, still feeling a lingering fear.

No matter how he tried to convince himself, Jinchen still scared him.

"As long as you don't kill anyone..."

Xia Tan murmured softly, hugging herself tightly in the quilt, not knowing who she was talking to.

When a ghost kills people, it will become more and more ferocious.

That's Jinchen.

There was a ring from his cell phone. It was the master who sent him another message, saying that he would be here in two days.

Xia Tan's fingertips paused for a long time, not knowing how to respond, and finally buried himself in the quilt and gave up on himself.
