My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy-Chapter 64 - : Summoning Spirits_1

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Summoning Spirits_1

Translator: 549690339

After the Taoist left, only Gu Yuanzhou and I were left in the living room.

The smell of incense pervaded the air, and a death-like silence lingered on.

Gu Yuanzhou did not speak to me anymore. He walked to the prayer altar, picked up the ancestral tablets, and gently swept his fingers over them.

After a long time, he lit some incense for the two children again.

I sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

At this moment, my phone kept ringing. I didn’t need to check to know that Wenya was texting me.

“Uh, President Gu, can I leave now?”

He did not even acknowledge me, his voice slightly cold:

“Go!”

I picked up my bag from the table, grabbed my phone, glanced at him, and hurried out of the room.

Once I reached the road, I saw a car with its hazard lights on in the distance.

I waved my hand.

The car approached and stopped beside me.

The person driving was Ding Yinuo. He opened the car door, looked at me with a worried expression, and asked, “Are you alright?”

I took out a mirror and checked my reflection. Apart from some smudged makeup, there seemed to be nothing else wrong.

“I’m fine, what could possibly happen to me?”

Ding Yinuo nodded and started the car.

In the back seat, Su Peisheng was still messing with a drone,

“Why did you take so long inside? Ding was worried to death. If I hadn’t stopped him, he would have barged in.”

Ding Yinuo handed me a pack of wet wipes,

“Any progress?”

I wiped off my smudged makeup in the mirror and shook my head, “It’s not him!”

Sure enough, this answer did not sit well with everyone.

Wenya had the most extreme reaction and snapped,

“Damn it, if it’s not him, then who is it? This man is terrifying; he’s even deceiving ghosts!”

Jiang Jing asked, “Did you ask him about sponsoring Ye Mengyan? Did he admit it?”

I shook my head, “No! I didn’t get a chance to ask!”

“Ayun, you must not be deceived by him. Let me tell you, when a man is good to you, he definitely has an ulterior motive. There’s no such thing as a good man in this world.”

While Wenya was still railing, Su Peisheng, sitting beside her, couldn’t stand it any longer,

“Can you speak properly? What do you mean there are no good men in the world? Isn’t it just that you aren’t good enough to meet one, so you’re denying the existence of good men everywhere?”

Wenya turned her head and shoved Su Peisheng,

“Are you an idiot? Can’t you tell who I’m talking about?”

“I’m the idiot? Huh, I don’t even know who the real idiot is here. You can’t even speak clearly, and you accuse me of not distinguishing between friend and foe.”

“It was you who responded defensively. If you think my words are malicious, then that just proves that you identify with them. Why would you identify with them if you’re not a scumbag? You see, Ding Yinuo didn’t say a word. Why didn’t he? Because he is not a scumbag!”

Wenya logically put Su Peisheng in his place.

Su Peisheng was left speechless by her,

“I refuse to engage in a conversation with someone who lacks intellect!”

“That’s called being guilty! It’s fine if you don’t speak up, it’s not like anyone wants to talk to you.”

The atmosphere in the car was noticeably tense.

So, Su Peisheng angrily suggested to Jiang Jing,

“Let’s switch seats!”

Actually, Su Peisheng and Wenya were initially in the back seat, with Wenya in the front passenger seat.

Later, to make room for me, Wenya gave up her seat in the front and sat in the back. As a result, she and Jiang Jing each occupied one side,

with Su Peisheng stuck like a sandwich in the middle.

Now, he wanted to change seats with Jiang Jing, to which Wenya rolled her eyes and replied, “Why do you want to switch seats?”

“I don’t want to sit next to you, isn’t it obvious?”

“Oh, why don’t you just get out of the car then? After all, I have breathed in all the air in this car, so even if you’re not sitting right next to me, you will still be inhaling the air I’ve exhaled.”

“I get out? Are you sick or something? It’s my car!”

As the two of them quarreled, Ding Yinuo, growing irritated, snapped at them,

“Both of you, shut up! Can’t you see someone is not in a good mood?”

The moment he raised his voice in reprimand, the bickering in the car stopped abruptly.

Half an hour later, Ding Yinuo dropped Wenya and Jiang Jing off at their respective homes.

Then he drove the car back to Xishan Residence, No. 168.

After parking the car, he turned to me,

“Let’s go!”

“Please take me home, I can’t keep staying here.”

I was worried that my close contact with Ding Yinuo might be discovered by Gu Yuanzhou.

Besides, he already seemed to be suspicious of me.

What’s more, I can’t find a reason to continue being so close to Ding Yinuo.

He glanced at me,

“I want to discuss something about your aunt with you.”

“What happened to my aunt?”

He ignored me and got out of the car first.

I had no choice but to follow him into the house.

Once inside, he removed his suit jacket to reveal the blue surgical scrubs he was wearing…

“I was in such a rush when I left the hospital. Wenya told me that you had gone to Beilu Hill with Gu Yuanzhou, so I didn’t have time to change…”

“Oh!”

“What would you like to eat?”

As he was unbuttoning his shirt, his clear eyes were focused on me.

“I, uh, I don’t want anything.”

He opened a food delivery app on his phone and tossed the phone to me,

“I’m hungry. I haven’t had dinner because of your mess. You choose something, I’ll go take a shower. I smell like blood.”

“Oh, okay.”

Seated so close, I could actually smell the cold metallic scent of blood on him.

I took the phone and sat on the sofa. He then went into the bathroom.

It took me a while to unlock the phone and place an order for food. 𝒻𝓇ℯ𝘦𝘸𝑒𝑏𝓃𝑜𝓿𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓶

Right as I was about to put the phone down, a pop-up notification from WeChat appeared, indicating an incoming video call.

Seeing the caller ID picture was Jiang Jiaying’s, I was stunned for a moment.

After hesitating for a few seconds, I chose to decline the call.

I wasn’t sure about their relationship status now, whether they had broken up or were still entangled with each other.

This late at night, if she saw me at Ding Yinuo’s place, would it affect their relationship?

Soon after I declined, Jiang Jiaying sent a message on WeChat,

“Yinuo, I’m back. Please answer the video call, I have something to tell you!”

From what I remembered, Jiang Jiaying seemed to have gone abroad many years ago.

So, had she returned now?

Just as I was wondering, Ding Yinuo poked his head out from the bathroom door. He was shaving, and his chin was covered in white foam, “Who is it?”

“Oh, your ex…”

“What? Who?”

“How many exes do you have?”

“Quite a lot! More than one hand can count!”

“Ugh…Jiang Jiaying!”

After hearing this, Ding Yinuo just responded with an “Oh” and withdrew back into the bathroom, “Don’t bother with her!”

After his shower, he came out wearing a grey bathrobe.

The takeaway hadn’t arrived yet.

He sat down on the sofa,

“You’ve been holding back, haven’t you?”

“What do you mean?”

“Gu Yuanzhou isn’t that stupid! Does he really believe you’re being possessed?”

I fell silent. I had indeed hidden some information since there were many people around earlier, making it difficult to disclose them.

Who’d have thought that Ding Yinuo would see through me.
