What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

He already guessed what Jiuge was going to ask next.

It's impossible to hide it anymore.

There's no need to keep it a secret from Jiu Ge any longer.

An Chen solved the difficult problem in Gouzi Bay.

He easily touched the stone that even Jiuge couldn't reach, and there were all the things he had previously managed to get through by bluffing.

With so many obvious signs, it would be pointless to keep it from Jiuge any longer.

"You've worked hard. Go back to your spiritual clinic and continue working." With a sigh, An Chen took the initiative to send Zhang Zhidong away.

"You're the mysterious person the association has been looking for, right?" After confirming that Zhang Zhidong was no longer there, Jiuge voiced her long-held speculation.

She was unsure whether Zhang Zhidong knew An Chen's identity.

If An Chen really is a mysterious person, since he has kept it a secret for so long, he certainly doesn't want others to know this information.

“Yes.” An Chen nodded, readily admitting it.

He gathered up the scattered luck on the ground and secretly glanced at Jiu Ge's expression.

"There's a reason for that," An Chen added after a moment's hesitation.

Jiuge squinted, her expression blank.

"You're collecting luck to catch the phantom?" she asked tentatively.

“Yes, collecting luck is beneficial to improving my own abilities.” With that, An Chen summoned the stone inside his body.

"For example, because I have enough energy and strong abilities, I can use this evil stone in the illusion as a storage room in the future."

After saying that, the stone returned to An Chen's body.

“I don’t plan to hand it over,” he said frankly.

"This is a trivial matter... Collecting Qi will really not have any effect on your body?" Although she got the answer, Jiuge was still a little incredulous.

Using what is given by the spirit will not backfire or have any side effects.

Unheard of, unseen.

There is probably no precedent for such a psychic in history.

"No." An Chen said firmly.

Over the years, he has never gotten into trouble because of this.

“Although I don’t think you’re the culprit, just to be safe, I’ll confirm that the people who went missing in Jingcheng aren’t related to you, right?” Jiuge said, her expression slightly tense.

"No." An Chen answered without hesitation.

He's not so bored as to do something so harmful.

Jiuge breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're worried that there are people with illusions in the association, and you don't want the association to find out, so you need to keep it a secret, right?" She raised her hand and tossed her hair, her expression somewhat helpless.

The clues were thus connected, and the final answer wasn't that complicated.

"Mm." An Chen nodded slightly.

Sure enough, Jiuge is quite clever when she gets serious.

"I see."

Jiuge revealed a relieved smile.

"I've been holding it in for so long... it's been so tough..." She looked down and kicked a small pebble next to her.

In fact, Jiuge had known the truth for a long time, but she never had the courage to reveal it.

"You had already guessed that?"

“Hmm…” Jiuge nodded gently.

"Thank you." An Chen remained silent for a long time before finally uttering these three words.

"Don't lie to me anymore." Jiuge's smile suddenly turned into a bitter smile.

If An Chen hadn't wanted her to discover his identity, he probably would have told a lot of lies.

If that's the case.

Perhaps, Jiuge's liking for her was just a misunderstanding.

All along, it might have just been Jiu Ge who was in love with An Chen on her own.

An Chen might not have any other thoughts about himself.

“I’m not lying to you,” An Chen said seriously.

"?" Jiuge was stunned.

"I'm just teasing you." An Chen gently pinched Jiu Ge's nose.

"What are you doing?" Jiuge took a few steps back.

Feeling that this was wrong, and afraid that An Chen might misunderstand that she disliked him, Jiu Ge walked back.

“I’m not lying to you, you really are special to me.” An Chen’s expression was somewhat wistful.

He didn't know when it started, but he began to realize that he was completely helpless with Jiuge.

Unbeknownst to him, this girl had already occupied such a large place in An Chen's heart.

By the time he realized it, the situation was already out of control.

"I...you...what do you mean by this?" Jiuge's face turned red. She pinched the hem of her skirt and touched her cold earlobe.

“You are very special to me.” An Chen took a few steps forward, his body almost touching Jiu Ge’s.

"Special...specifically what do you mean?" Jiuge's breathing became somewhat disordered.

Today is the Ghost Festival, and many terrible things have happened.

The two were in the Zhang family cemetery, surrounded by tombstones on both sides, having just dealt with the lingering spirits of war.

No matter how you look at it, isn't this atmosphere and this development a bit inappropriate?

"What do you think of me?" An Chen gently brushed aside the stray hairs on Jiu Ge's forehead and asked softly.

He always knew that Jiuge was a stunning beauty.

An Chen knew about it before he met Jiu Ge.

Before he fell in love with Jiu Ge, he didn't care about these things.

Now, An Chen likes Jiu Ge more and more.

Whether it's her fair skin, her exquisite curves, her long eyelashes, her perfectly shaped face, her smooth black hair, her pink lips, or her lively eyes.

An Chen wanted to possess everything about Jiu Ge.

He wanted to possess everything that belonged to Jiuge.

“I…” Jiuge pursed her lips.

She suddenly felt her lips were a little dry.

"What do you think of me?" An Chen repeated his question with a serious expression.

Chapter 110 I really, really like you

"I……"

She licked her lips, and Jiuge's heart began to pound faster and faster.

An Chen was very close to her, close enough that they could hear each other's breathing.

"What?" An Chen raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat amused.

Having been a couple for "several days," and not resisting holding hands, he didn't believe that Jiu Ge really had no feelings for him at all.

An Chen wasn't in a hurry about Jiu Ge's matter.

However, after experiencing the shock of a sudden dangerous event in the illusion and the heart-pounding feeling of almost losing Jiuge, he had a better understanding of Jiuge's position and importance in his heart.

For Jiuge, An Chen no longer wants to be "Buddhist" for even a moment longer.

"I...I want to continue being your pre-determined couple!" Jiu Ge clenched her fists, her face flushed red.

After a long pause, she managed to utter this one sentence.

Jiuge wanted to say things like, "I like you!", "I want to date you!", "I want to be your girlfriend!", but she couldn't bring herself to say them...

What if An Chen was just teasing her?

What if An Chen didn't mean it that way?

What if she gets rejected?

Thinking of all this, Jiuge's eyes welled up with tears.

"?"

An Chen was stunned.

The phrase "husband and wife" was put into a brainwashing loop in his mind...

“This…you…would you like to rethink your words?” An Chen said, rubbing his forehead.

If you're going to set them up as a couple, then just set them up as a couple. Why is Jiu Ge crying?

There are no spirits around, could it be that they've been pushed too far?

“If you want to continue being my pre-arranged husband and wife, that’s fine too…” An Chen took a few steps back, trying not to scare Jiu Ge.

"No...that's not what I meant..."

Jiuge sniffed and stretched out her slender arm.

She let out a small breath and suddenly pulled An Chen back.

"Since we can be a married couple, then we can try dating, right?" Jiu Ge's hand trembled slightly as she held An Chen's.
