Chapter 0122 – I Don’t Know Why I’m Angry – Absolute Returns

I originally thought that a woman who could be married to a ghost spirit must be a vicious woman with a snake’s heart.

However, the Lin Xiang in front of her did not look like a bad woman in any way.

“I’ve heard that Mr. Xu has been working day and night to research the Ghost Sect’s secret arts, so please make sure you take care of your health.”

“Thank you for your concern, Miss Lin.”

Hearing Lin Xiang’s concern, Ghost Spirit smiled from ear to ear.

“Hungry?”

“Well, I’m kind of hungry.”

“Let’s go eat first then.”

Ghost Spirit led Lin Xiang and her entourage into the inn where we were.

They picked a table close to ours to sit at so we could clearly hear their conversation.

“I won’t hide it from Mr. Xu, but my parents are actually not in favor of this marriage. They said that the Ghost Sect’s young masters have traditionally been drunk on research and would inevitably leave their wives out in the cold.”

“Please don’t worry, Miss Lin, I will never let you suffer half a bit, I swear!”

I did not inquire in detail about the reasons for the failure of Ghostbusters’ marriage. I only remember that at our last meeting, he had said that his married life was hell on earth.

Could it be that the reason why his relationship with his wife broke down was because he was so focused on researching “Reincarnation**” that he neglected his wife? If this is the case ……

”Ghost Lingzi, Ghost Lingzi, I’m afraid you’re going to go back on your word.”

Of course, it’s also possible that I’m overthinking it. Looking at Ghost Spirit’s current appearance, I’m afraid that even if Lin Xiang wanted him to give up his family business, he would be willing to do so. If he loves Lin Xiang so much, why did their marriage come to an end?

“My father, he doesn’t have a very good temper, so if there’s anything in his speech that offends him, I’d like to ask for Mr. Xu’s indulgence.”

“I understand, Uncle is doing this for your own good.”

Could it be that it was their parents who interfered and that’s what caused them to finally go their separate ways? Seems like I need to find out what happened between them first.

“I don’t like fried food.”

Hearing Lin Xiang’s preference, Ghost Spirit hurriedly said, “Great, I don’t like fried food either.”

“Really?”

“Looks like we really have a heart to heart!”

However, I caught a flash of hesitation and regret in Ghost Spirit’s eyes.

Poor Ghost Spirit, it looks like you’re going to have a hard time in the future. However, he’s in the heat of the moment, so I’m afraid that even if he’s made to eat chaff every day, he’ll be happy to do so.

Once they started eating, we also started chatting like nobody’s business, hoping to get their attention.

“Do you want to get married?”

For those who were about to enter the marriage hall, marriage was naturally the topic they were most interested in. Sure enough, I noticed that both Ghost Spirit and Lin Xiang perked up their ears.

“I don’t want to get married.”

“Why?”

“Marriage means responsibility, and I don’t want to be bound by it. I can’t take care of one person, let alone two.”

I don’t know if the heart is serious or if it’s deliberately playing along with my act.

“What about you? Do you want to get married?” Heart asked me back.

“Don’t want to.”

“Why?”

“I just want to live a free life.”

“So you want kids?”

I only mentioned this question in front of one person, that is, the ghost spirit’s sister Xu Ran. At that time, the answer was naturally “I don’t want to”, because at that time, my mind was filled with the fury of revenge, and I simply didn’t have the mood to consider these things.

“I don’t have the confidence that I can be a good father.”

“Yeah, not every parent knows how to raise a child.”

Heart’s tone was a bit down. I decided to put aside the matter of Ghost Spirit for the time being and care about her feelings first.

“Do you hate your parents?”

“Hated it as a kid.”

Heart was abandoned by her parents at a young age, she didn’t even know who her parents were before she was sent to the Heavenly Demon God Sect.

“What about now?”

“It’s not hateful anymore; after all, hating them would only make it more painful.”

I brought up her parents on purpose to get her to vent.

The only way to slowly release the hurt in your heart is to say it. If you just repress it, it will only make the wound deeper and deeper.

Heart looked at me and said in a mock lighthearted manner, “They must be doing well by now.”

“They may not necessarily live in peace.” Lin Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly interjected.

“In any case, abandoning one’s own child is always going to be on one’s conscience.”

Lin Xiang’s character was really straightforward, saying what she had to say without the slightest twist.

Heart said gently, “Maybe, but not all parents love their children. There are some parents that just use their children as tools to make money; there are some parents that abuse their children; there are even some parents that sell their children ……”

My heart skipped a beat when I heard the last sentence. Did the heart always think that her parents had sold her?

“That’s just a very few examples, I’m sure your parents must have had a hard time.” Lin Xiang looked at the heart, her eyes filled with sympathy and compassion. Although she had a pure look, she was an emotional person who was prone to showing her true feelings.

Although Lin Xiang’s remark was a bit presumptuous, Heart didn’t get angry, but instead smiled and said, “Thank you, you’re really a good person.”

“No, it’s my bad, I shouldn’t have meddled, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, I’m the one who’s too sensitive.”

With that, the two apologized to each other.

Only then did Lin Xiang remember to introduce herself, “My name is Lin Xiang, I’m the daughter of the Lin Clan’s Sword Sect.”

Under Lin Xiang’s introduction, Heart also introduced me to them, “This is my senior brother.”

In order to avoid trouble, we all externally refer to each other as senior siblings. Anyway, we cultivate the same gong method, so it’s not wrong to say that we are senior siblings.

“In order to express my apologies, this drink is on me. The two of you must have a lot to say after a long time, so we’ll leave you alone and meet again another day.”

“How is this a good idea? It should be my treat.” Lin Xiang said in a hurry.

Seeing the two of us scrambling to pay the bill, Ghost Spirit said with a smile, “I happen to have invited a few close friends tomorrow and am going to throw a small banquet, so the two of you can come along as well.”

“How can we be bothered?” Heart excused himself.
