Chapter 342: I Can Be Small

After the meeting, Ye Wen enthusiastically took the Lin family for a stroll in the shopping area.

However, Lin Mohua and Fifth Aunt specifically stayed behind because it seemed like Chu Jiang would leave right after packing his things, and they wanted to have a chat with him.

Chen Keai joined the meeting for no particular reason. She couldn’t understand much, but she was worried so she wanted to talk to Chu Jiang.

But as people left one by one, she got nervous and kept giving Chu Jiang glances, asking him not to leave too quickly and to remember to come find her in the finance room.

Surprisingly, Chu Jiang calmly said, "Do I look like someone who can read minds?"

Chen Keai stomped her foot and reluctantly approached him to whisper in his ear.

Chu Jiang listened and nodded slightly.

Xu Lan and Lin Mohua watched this scene with different expressions. Xu Lan had a smile on her face, as if she understood the emotions between the young couple very well.

Lin Mohua remained expressionless, but her eyes showed a hint of complexity.

After Chen Keai finished speaking and quickly ran away, Lin Mohua turned to Fifth Aunt and said, "Please give us some space to talk."

Xu Lan smiled and said, "Sure, I’ll wait outside. Being the elder, that’s what I should do."

After Fifth Aunt floated away, Lin Mohua nervously approached Chu Jiang, "I, I…actually, I wanted to say, initially I was interested in you, but it was probably just because I craved companionship and hoped you would keep me company and relieve my boredom."

"But then, when you decisively left, I realized my mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late by then. I wonder if you would give me another chance?"

Chu Jiang anticipated Lin Mohua’s words and gave a sincere response, "I understand and forgive your impulsive actions, but I don’t have those feelings for you."

"Actually, you don’t quite understand the state I’m in now. Love and romance are luxuries for me. Just living like a normal person is already enough."

Lin Mohua bit her lip, feeling a bit unwilling. She clenched her fist and said, "I can be small, a concubine…"

Chu Jiang massaged his forehead, clearly thinking she was making excuses. She even brought up the issue of being big or small. It seemed like she had gone through a strong internal struggle.

He patted Lin Mohua’s shoulder and said, "Don’t overthink it. Besides, you may not truly like me. It’s more of a desire for something you can’t have."

"Alright, go now. Explore the outside world. I hope you can assist me in creating a wonderful world, free from chaos."

Since Chu Jiang had already reached this point in the conversation, Lin Mohua didn’t argue further. She simply nodded and rushed to catch up with the group she had previously left behind.

……

Almost as soon as Lin Mohua left, Xu Lan floated over from the next room. She had been hiding in the wall, listening secretly. Chu Jiang just didn’t expose her.

"What do you want to say again?"

"Finally out of the Lin Ancestral Hall, although I didn’t get absolute freedom, but now I feel refreshed and find all these people outside lovely."

Xu Lan spoke with a relaxed expression, crossing her hands, and making a motion of pushing her palms outward. As she raised her hands above her head, her chest naturally pushed forward, causing her tight qipao to bulge.

"All of this is brought by Mr. Chu. I have nothing to repay him, I’m afraid I can only offer myself." Xu Lan put down her hand and smiled happily, seeming very satisfied with Chu Jiang.

"Is this your so-called compensation?" Chu Jiang shook his head. "Forget it."

"Don’t be afraid," Fifth Aunt approached with a suggestive smile. "There won’t suddenly be some ghost playing dead here."

"And didn’t you say you want to live more like a human? Humans have desires, you haven’t indulged in them for a long time."

Chu Jiang looked at Xu Lan and said softly, "I have never done that before."

Xu Lan was surprised, "You are still young, that’s perfect. Why don’t we just give it a try…"

Watching Xu Lan approaching with a more mesmerizing look in her eyes, Chu Jiang firmly pressed her face and pushed her away, "I am not interested in you, thank you."

Fifth Aunt looked somewhat sorrowful, "Then who are you interested in? That girl who called you boss just now?"

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "I am quite interested in her when it comes to feelings."

"At least, among all the girls I have met, I feel the most relaxed when I am with her; I even occasionally have the desire to tease her, and I would be happy when she is happy."

"So, you have never felt any desire for her physically?" Xu Lan immediately touched on what she thought was the main point.

"Well, maybe not yet. Of course, it might have something to do with not being completely open with each other. I heard that as you flirt more, you naturally develop feelings." Chu Jiang recalled Jing Ruoxue’s words and said so.

Xu Lan pondered, "You telling me all this, is it because you lack confidence? Would you like to hear my opinion?"

"My opinion is very simple, you should just try it out for yourself. I see that the girl seems to have a good attitude towards you, she probably won’t dislike you."

"Let’s talk about it later." Chu Jiang still feels that the progress between him and Chen Keai hasn’t reached that stage yet.

Besides, he is not sure if he has a future. If he were to suddenly die while going abroad this time, wouldn’t Chen Keai be left widowed?

So it’s better to wait a bit longer before getting closer to her, hoping for the day when the supernatural resurrection completely subsides…

"Alright, but you can practice with me first." Xu Lan said seriously, "I don’t mind."

And you don’t have to worry about it psychologically, anyway I don’t have any feelings for you. In fact, I’m already a ghost, I doubt if I can still fall in love with anyone.

"Including that little girl Lin Mohua, I completely agree with your statement. She doesn’t actually like you, she just desires what she can’t have."

Chu Jiang waved his hand, "Stop talking nonsense, I can absolutely not do that with you. Besides, how can a person and a ghost do such a thing? Have we been intimate for a long time?"

"You better go and join the others honestly, thank you for listening to my rambling."

Xu Lan chuckled and said, "We’ve been good friends for a long time, it’s impressive that you came up with such a word. Since you don’t want to, I’ll leave now. Come find me when you change your mind."

After saying that, he left on his own.

Actually, when it comes to physical desires, Chu Jiang did have feelings for a woman before. But at that time, he hadn’t awakened Chu’s Jiang power yet, he had just become a Ghost Master, so he wasn’t sure if this desire was just temporary.

After thinking about it, he shook his head. He should say goodbye to Chen Keai, in case he didn’t come back.

About to face the false god, and the "Sleep Talking" of the Holy Word Religion, it seemed easy to say and solve everything. But Chu Jiang, facing an S-class ghost, still had to be cautious and be prepared for the worst.
