Ghost Exorciser: Is Loved By All-Chapter 745: Scarifice

Yu Shuchang’s face darkened. His warm, gentle expression disappeared in an instant.

"Sheng Yin!" His voice was sharp, filled with anger. "Are you joking?"

Sheng Yin looked at him, her eyes calm but filled with something he couldn’t understand. Pain? Fear? Doubt?

"I’m serious," she said.

"Date Susan for two weeks."

Yu Shuchang clenched his fists.

"I already told you. I have never looked at another woman. Why are you testing me?"

Sheng Yin forced a smile.

’Because you once did. In our last life, you loved Susan. You ignored me, rejected me, and never believed I was sincere. But now, you say you love me. How can I believe you?’

Yet she said,

"No, I am not testing you. I am giving you the chance to prove to me that you love me. As long as you date Susan, I will be assured that you love me."

’I am doing this for your own good, Shuchang. When you start to date her, you will realize how compatible she is with you. And then...you will forget me.’

Yu Shuchang’s face turned even colder. His jaw tightened, and his eyes darkened with anger.

And suddenly,

"If that is the way to prove my love to you, then I never loved you."

Sheng Yin’s heart skipped a beat. As cruel as those words...they gave her a strange kind of assurity.

’Don’t fall for it.’ A voice in her mind said. ’If you fall for it, you will be done for.’

"So don’t claim that you love me." Sheng Yin said and turned to leave.

"Sheng Yin, you have already made me angry. If you dare to take one more step, I won’t be gentle anymore. " Yu Shuchang said in a cold voice.

Sheng Yin paused, and Yu Shuchang held her hand. He carefully led her to his car while scolding her,

"Don’t mention that request ever again. I might lose control and do something you will not like."

Sheng Yin didn’t resist. Yu Shuchang was a lot stronger than her.

Yu Shuchang opened the car door and pushed Sheng Yin inside gently but firmly. His grip was strong, and his face was colder than ever.

Sheng Yin sat stiffly in the seat, watching as he walked around and got into the driver’s side.

The car was silent. Only the sound of rain tapping against the windows filled the space.

Soon, they reached a villa.

Sheng Yin knew the villa. It was one of the private properties Yu Shuchang owned.

She didn’t get out, instead, she said calmly,

"I am going to get married to Qi Bailu the day after tomorrow."

Yu Shuchang’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he said,

"Don’t anger me, Yin. You don’t love him. He cheated on you, and now, just because your sister died, he wants to marry you. You are his option, while for me, you are my priority!"

Sheng Yin remained silent.

Seeing her indifference, the pain on Yu Shuchang’s face slowly vanished and he asked,

"So...are you truly not going to break the marriage?"

"No."

"Good." Yu Shuchang chuckled.

Sheng Yin was stunned.

Why was Yu Shuchang laughing?

Yu Shuchang leaned back in his seat, his fingers tapping the steering wheel lightly. His eyes, dark and unreadable, locked onto hers.

"Because," he said slowly, "if you won’t cancel the wedding, I will."

Sheng Yin’s body stiffened. "You can’t."

Yu Shuchang smirked. "Watch me."

He opened the car door and stepped out, walking around to her side. Before she could react, he pulled her door open and grabbed her wrist.

Sheng Yin struggled. "Yu Shuchang! You can’t just—"

"I can." His grip was firm but not painful. "And I will."

With that, he pulled her out of the car and into the villa.

The rain was still falling, soaking them both, but Yu Shuchang didn’t care. He led her inside, his steps steady and determined.

Sheng Yin’s heart pounded.

"Listen to me," she said, trying to keep her voice calm. "This marriage is—"

"Bullsh*t," Yu Shuchang interrupted. "You don’t love Qi Bailu. He betrayed you once. He will betray you again."

Sheng Yin’s lips pressed together tightly.

She knew. Of course, she knew.

It was all her plan in the first place!

"Shuchang..." She looked at him, her voice softer now. "You deserve someone better."

Yu Shuchang’s eyes darkened.

"I don’t want ’someone better.’ I want you."

His voice was low, almost a whisper.

Sheng Yin felt her heart shake.

Taking a deep breath, she even thought of telling her plans to Yu Shuchang, but then she thought about how she might have to cross the boundary and how Yu Shuchang still doesn’t know about his true love, Susan. She could only stay silent.

Yu Shuchang was angry seeing the deep look on Sheng Yin’s face.

He had seen the same look on many actors’ faces.

They make such faces when they are about to make a foolish, unnecessary sacrifice.

’No...I won’t let her do anything foolish.’ He thought.

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

Back at the shooting set.

The new day began.

Today’s task for the actors was to take care of the livestock and venture into the mountain to collect food ingredients.

The twist was, one partner was asked to look after the livestock while the other would venture into the mountain.

Liu Meiyu decided to look after the livestock, while Fang Jinhai decided to venture into the mountain.

Zhao Yiran ventured into the mountain while Lin Zhihao stated behind to look after the livestock.

Xu Tian patted his shoulder and said,

"I will go to the mountain-"

"No need." Yu Holea shook her head and said, "We don’t need to work."

Xu Tian was taken aback, while the audience in the live stream went wild,

"Wait...Holea, what are you saying? Are you tired?"

"Holea, I can understand that you are tired, but you can’t slack off!"

Xu Tian was confused. "Huh? What do you mean we don’t need to work?"

Yu Holea crossed her arms. "Simple. I have money."

With that, she took out the 1000 yuan she hadn’t spent the previous day.

"With 500 yuan, we can buy some vegetables, and with the other 500 yuan, we can hire someone to complete our task."

Xu Tian’s mouth fell open. "Wait... we can just pay people to do our tasks?"

Yu Holea nodded. "Why not? Money solves everything."

The live stream chat exploded.

"HAHAHA she’s actually a genius!"

"This is why rich people live on easy mode."

"The production team is crying in the corner."

The staff member nearby looked conflicted. "Uh... that’s not really in the spirit of the show..."

Yu Holea raised an eyebrow. "Did the rules say we can’t use money?"

The staff hesitated. "Well... no, but—"

"Then it’s fine." She smiled.

Xu Tian sighed. "I feel like I should say something about this... but honestly, I don’t wanna do chores either."

The other actors, who were already busy with their tasks, looked over.

Liu Meiyu, who was covered in chicken feathers: "I’m rethinking my life choices."

Lin Zhihao, still struggling with the cow: "Can I switch teams?"

Meanwhile, Fang Jinhai and Zhao Yiran had already gone into the mountains. Too late for them to back out now.

Yu Holea handed 500 yuan to one of the villagers. "We need vegetables. Please deliver them to the kitchen later."

The villager nodded happily. "Of course!"

Then, she turned to another villager. "Here’s 500 yuan. Can you help with the livestock?"

The villager grinned. "No problem!"

The chat went crazy.

"SHE JUST OUTSOURCED THE WHOLE TASK LMAO."

"Girlboss energy."

"Xu Tian, you better stick to her like glue."

Xu Tian scratched his head. "So... we’re done?"

Yu Holea stretched and yawned. "Yep. Time to relax."

And just like that, while everyone else worked hard, Yu Holea and Xu Tian found a nice shady spot, sat down, and enjoyed their free time.

The best way to utilise the day was to rest, so Yu Holea made the lunch and rested the entire time others worked.

Liu Meiyu, seeing Yu Holea lounging off, couldn’t help but complain,

"Sister, you can’t do this! You are invited here to experience country life. You can’t just skip some task as you please!"

The live chat exploded.

"She has a point. Isn’t this show about survival?"

"Yeah, this isn’t some CEO retreat; it’s a country experience!"

"Honestly, I kinda agree with Meiyu..."

"Meiyu is such a hypocrite. Just yesterday, she was calling Yu Holea as sister, but now suddenly she is calling Yu Holea a slacker!"

Xu Tian, who had been lying beside Yu Holea, sat up awkwardly.

"Uh... should we, like, do something to help?"

Yu Holea waved a hand. "Nah."

Liu Meiyu sighed dramatically.

"I just think it’s a little selfish. We’re all working hard, and you’re just sitting there, acting like you’re above us."

The chat grew even more divided.

"True, everyone else is doing their part."

"I get that she has money, but this is still a team effort."

"I think the production team should take action against them!"
