Ghost Exorciser: Is Loved By All-Chapter 736: Engagement

For a long time, both of them remained silent.

Finally, Qiao Li chuckled,

"I don’t love the boy of my memory. I remember the promise my lover had made..."

With that, she turned and left.

Ou Lin’s heart tightened, but he could only let Qiao Li walk away.

He couldn’t guarantee that everything would turn out well, and he would lie.

There was a large possibility that he would die.

It would be better to break Qiao Li’s heart; at least she wouldn’t cry at his death.

Wasn’t this the reason why he didn’t acknowledge...

.........

Yu Shuchang noticed that Sheng Yin behaved strangely...to be precise, she avoided him as much as she could.

But did that deter him? Absolutely not!

The scene that was going to be shot that day was an action scene. There was hardly any scene where Yu Shuchang and Sheng Yin interacted.

A day passed.

The next day, Yu Shuchang and Sheng Yin had some emotional scenes, which both of them completely efficiently.

During the break, Yu Shuchang tried to talk with Sheng Yin, but she ignored him and walked into her room.

"This woman...how long is she planning to ignore me? No...this can’t continue!"

With that thought, he knocked on the door of her room.

Sheng Yin’s assistant Susan opened the door, and the moment she saw Yu Shuchang, a smile appeared on her face,

"Hello, Mr. Yu."

"Hello." Yu Shuchang said calmly, "I want to meet Sheng Yin."

The smile on Susan’s face froze.

With a forced composure, she said,

"Well, she doesn’t need to be disturbed so...anyways, how about we go on a coffee date and I will tell you everything about Miss Sheng?"

Yu Shuchang’s brows furrowed before he shook his head,

"No need."

Susan wasn’t done yet and said,

"Trust me, you will be shocked once you hear the information. After all, it is related to the topic as to why Miss Sheng is ignoring you."

Yu Shuchang narrowed his eyes.

He had no interest in wasting time with Sheng Yin’s assistant, but her words piqued his curiosity.

"Fine," he said after a brief pause.

"But if you’re lying or wasting my time, don’t expect me to be polite."

Susan chuckled, leading him toward a nearby café.

Once they settled at a private booth, Susan stirred her coffee slowly, her eyes flickering with hesitation.

"Mr. Yu, why do you look so weak and pale? Do you need me to get you some medicine?"

Yu Shuchang: "..." Weak and pale?

He looked at himself in the nearby mirror, and only after ensuring that he was completely fine did he turn toward Susan,

"Speak what I want to know."

Susan exhaled before leaning in. "Mr. Yu, do you know why Miss Sheng has been avoiding you?"

Yu Shuchang crossed his arms. "If I knew, I wouldn’t be here, would I?"

Susan smirked. "True. But you might want to prepare yourself. It’s not what you think."

Yu Shuchang’s fingers tapped against the table. "Get to the point."

Susan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Miss Sheng is engaged."

Silence.

Yu Shuchang blinked, his expression unreadable. Then, he scoffed. "Engaged? That’s ridiculous."

"I’m serious," Susan insisted.

"It was arranged a long time ago by her family. And now that her fiancé has returned, she’s trying to distance herself from you."

Yu Shuchang’s jaw tightened. His fingers curled into a fist.

Engaged? No. That didn’t make sense. If she was engaged, why hadn’t she said anything before?

"You’re lying," he said coldly.

Susan sighed.

"Believe what you want. But if you really care about Miss Sheng, you should back off before things get messy."

Yu Shuchang’s expression darkened. "Who is he?"

Susan smiled mysteriously.

"You know him..."

An answer appeared in Yu Shuchang’s mind, but he refused to believe it.

However, the next second, Susan confirmed it,

"It’s Qi Bailu, her ex-boyfriend."

Yu Shuchang gritted his teeth and said,

"You are lying. She doesn’t like him, so why would she marry him?"

Susan leaned back, tilting her head with an amused expression.

"You think love is the only reason people get married, Mr. Yu?"

Yu Shuchang’s hands clenched into fists.

He wasn’t a fool—he knew how these things worked in their circle.

Arranged marriages, family pressure, business benefits... But Sheng Yin wasn’t someone who would bow to such things so easily.

"She wouldn’t agree to this," he said firmly.

Susan raised an eyebrow.

"Who said she agreed? But she’s not exactly fighting against it either, is she?"

"Says who?" Yu Shuchang said impatiently.

"Says me! I have seen her talking with Qi Bailu and even acting shy! Trust, they will definitely get married by the next month." Susan emphasized.

Her last two words struck a chord.

After all their contract stated that if she didn’t get married by 25, she would have to marry him, and the next month, she would turn 25.

He had always known Sheng Yin’s family was strict, but to force her into a marriage she didn’t want?

That was ridiculous. And Qi Bailu—of all people?

He clenched his jaw, his heart pounding against his ribs.

He will make sure to teach a good lesson to the Sheng family this time.

"She’s not the type to accept something like this," he said, his voice calmer now, almost dangerous.

Susan shrugged. "Maybe you don’t know her as well as you think you do, Mr. Yu."

Yu Shuchang’s gaze darkened. "And maybe you’re just running your mouth without knowing the full story."

He stood abruptly, tossing a few bills onto the table before turning to leave.

Susan called after him, "If you really want the truth, why don’t you ask her yourself?"

That was exactly what he was going to do.

Instead of believing an outsider, he would prefer to believe Yin’s words more.

"Mr. Yu, one more thing." Susan suddenly said.

"What?" Yu Shuchang snapped, but his anger didn’t deter Yu Shuchang at all, instead, she said with a smile,

"I like you, so if you want any help, just tell me."

"I don’t like you, I will never, so stay away." Yu Shuchang said coldly and left.

Susan stared at Yu Shcuhang’s departing back and muttered,

"As long as I close my net properly, both of them will be separated, and Yu Shuchang will become mine..."

...................

That evening, when the shoot was over, Yu Shuchang went to Sheng Yin’s hotel room and knocked on the door.

After a long silence, the door opened slightly. Sheng Yin stood there, her expression unreadable.

"What do you want?" Her voice was cold, detached.

Yu Shuchang pushed past her, stepping inside before she could stop him. He turned to face her, his eyes burning with questions.

"Are you really engaged to Qi Bailu?"

Sheng Yin flinched, but she quickly masked it. "Why does it matter?"

Yu Shuchang let out a sharp laugh. "That’s not an answer."

Sheng Yin closed her eyes briefly before sighing. "It’s my decision."

"No," Yu Shuchang stepped closer, "It’s your family’s decision, isn’t it?"

She looked away.

"Mr. Yu, I can decide on my own, whether it’s my decision or that of my family."

Yu Shuchang gritted his teeth and said,

"Don’t marry him, he will never be able to keep you happy. He has cheated on you once, and he can cheat again, as for me..."

Step by step, Yu Shuchang cornered Sheng Yin.

Sheng Yin’s back hit the wall as Yu Shuchang loomed over her, his piercing gaze locking onto hers.

"As for you...?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Yu Shuchang’s jaw clenched.

He raised a hand but stopped just short of touching her face. His fingers hovered near her cheek, trembling slightly as if he was restraining himself.

"As for me, I would never let you go," he said, his voice low and intense.

"I would never betray you. I would rather ruin myself than let you suffer."

Sheng Yin’s breath hitched. She wanted to push him away, to tell him that this was none of his concern—but she couldn’t move, couldn’t form the words.

Because she knew...Yu Shuchang was telling the truth. In their past life, he died while protecting her.

He ruined himself to save her from suffering...

"Why are you doing this, Yu Shuchang?" she forced out, gripping the fabric of her dress tightly. "It’s not your problem."

"It is my problem," he snapped, his patience wearing thin.

"Do you think I don’t care? Do you think I can just watch you throw your life away without doing anything?"

Sheng Yin clenched her teeth. "I’m not throwing my life away." freewёbnoνel.com

"Then look me in the eye and tell me you want to marry Qi Bailu," Yu Shuchang challenged.

Sheng Yin looked away.

"It’s none of your business, Mr. Yu."

Yu Shuchang chuckled and said with a dark face,

"It is...it is Miss Sheng. Just two days ago, I confessed to you that you were single; now, suddenly, you have a fiance. I need an explanation."
