Hua Jian never talked about what happened under the pool.

Ming Shu asked him once and he didn’t answer. After that Ming Shu stopped asking him and just laid in his room and ate her snacks.

Lu Jiu came in twice. During the second time, Hua Jian left with Lu Jiu and when he got back, it was already nighttime.

Hua Jian opened the door of the office and immediately saw the little girl lying on the sofa. She had fallen asleep while hugging a bag of snacks.

Hua Jian lowered his noise and walked to her side. He lowered his head and looked at her for a monet. Then, he carried her up.

“What are you doing?” The little girl’s voice sounded. There was no sleepiness in her voice and she even grabbed her snacks tightly.

“Go home.” Hua Jian didn’t release her and just replied indifferently.

Ming Shu didn’t say anything. She leaned on his chest. Hua Jian couldn’t see her expression too.

Hua Jian carried her out. There was already no one outside. Only the reception was still at work. When the reception saw Hua Jian carrying Ming Shu out, his expression turned weird. After that, he looked down as though he didn’t see anything.

When they were downstairs, they saw Lu Jiu. Lu Jiu was shoceked at first. “Boss, are you going back?”

“Yes, hurry up and get the registration out.” Hua Jian replied calmly. He didn’t give any strange expression just because he was carrying Ming Shu.

Lu Jiu nodded. “What about that An Zhiling?”

“Get her a job and observe her for now.”

Ming Shu raised her head slightly. Did they know of her abilities already? Ming Shu thought about it. The female protagonist seemed to be from the Evil Spirit Office too…

Lu Jiu watched as Hua Jian and Ming Shu leave. He stratched his head. “Boss treats this demon differently…”

Not only did An Zhiling started work at the Evil Spirit Office, Ming Shu started work there also. She was unwilling to do it at first but when she saw the benefits in the contract, she relented.

After all, she was poor.

But…

Ming Shu looked at her identity information that she just got. She slammed it on Hua Jian’s desk. “Why are you my guardian?”

I have lived for so long already. Why do I need you as my guardian?

Hua Jian explained calmly, “you age needs a guardian.”

Ming Shu pushed against the table and smile. “Can’t you give me a different age?”

Hua Jian started talking nonsense, “an adult identity is harder.”

Of course, I did it so that I can be close with you.

If not, who will want to be your guardian?

All villain lack love. I will not argue with an idiot.

Ming Shu’s smile got brighter.” Are you kidding me? Do you mean that you just keep accepting adolescent demons? Are adult demons all dead?”

“Yes.” All dead. Whatever. I am not the one that died.

Ming Shu: “…”

Ming Shu took some snacks to calm herself down. Why is this little demon so composed?

Ming Shu walked out of the office and welcomed everyone’s gaze. An Zhiling walked over from the side and looked at her cautiously. “Erm, Lu Jiu said that we are in charge of tidying the documents.”

For the past few days, An Zhiling broke down due to the death of her friends but she has gotten better over these few days. Distress and sadness only lasted for a while. A living person should always looked forward.

“Oh.” But I want to eat snacks.

If I don’t work, there will be no snacks…

Ming Shu admitted defeat and went to tidy the documents with An Zhiling.

“Jian Ying, why do you think captain wants to keep Tao Xi? And that An Zhiling. She is just a normal person. Do we have no requirements for hiring people?”

Jian Ying shook her head. “I don’t know. Maybe the captain has his own plans.”

Jian Ying looked at Ming Shu and An Zhiling. Viciousness appeared in her eyes.

“Sigh, seriously. Why is the captain treating Tao Xi so nicely…” There were many woman in the office which likes Hua Jian. They were in envy and jealous of Tao Xi.

Jian Ying looked at the direction of the office. The office was transparent. The man was standing by the window and making a call. Although she could only see his side profile, it was still so attractive.

Jian Ying gipped the pen in her hand tightly. She didn’t hear anything the person beside her said.

An Zhiling was serious with her work. She listened to other people well too.

“You are called Tao Xi right?” An Zhiling arranged the documents while talking to Ming Shu, “my name is An Zhiling.”

“Yes.”

An Zhiling looked at Ming Shu. She leaned over, “why can’t I tell that you are a demon?”

At Wan Yue village, she got the ability to see everyone’s information on top of their head. If they were humans, there would be a human written on them. However, if they were demons, theyr information would be listed out such as what their true form was, how long have they lived…

But for this person, she couldn’t see anything. There was no human sign too.

Just like the man… that suddenly appeared in her house.

“Maybe I am too pretty.” Ming Shu smiled. “Also, didn’t Lu Jiu tell you to not anyhow say things out?”

An Zhiling stunned for three seconds before understanding what she said.

Lu Jiu had warned her against speaking of her ability.

An Zhiling lowered her head and didn’t dare to talk anymore. She arranged the documents quickly.

An Zhiling was still going to school so she didn’t spend much time in office. She could only come once or twice every week. Also, Lu Jiu didn’t plan to give her much work to do. However, this caused people in the office to be unhappy.

“An Zhiling, didn’t I ask you to put this document in the red cabinet? Why did you put it in the blue cabinet?”

A long-hair lady slammed a document in front of An Zhiling and looked down on her. She said sarcastically, “since you are so busy everyday, why are you still here? You can’t even do such a simple thing.”

An Zhiling was puzzled, “I…”

“Why? do you still want to argue with me?” The lady interrupted An Zhiling. “Who gave you the face to not admit your mistakes?”

“Mengjie, don’t talk so much. She just came. She is not familiar yet.” Jian Ying came from behind and pulled the lady. She persuaded her, “our work is a bit complicated. She needs time to settle down. You should pardon her.”

Mengjie sneered. “Of course she is not familiar. Ever since she started work here, how many days has she came? What does she think this place is? Since she is here, she should have the responsibilty. How can I trust her and pass my work to her?”

“Okay okay, she just came.” Jian Ying patted Mengjie’s shoulder and appeared to be consoling An Zhiling, “Zhiling, take care of it the next time. Although arranging the documents wrongly is a small matter, but if you make a mistake next time, it would create a lot of trouble. After all, this is not a normal place.”

Jian Ying seemed to be comforting An Zhiling but in actual, she was telling her that she neglected her work. If something happens next time, it would be her fault and they would only blame her.

An Zhiling didn’t have the chance to explain herself. Her face was red as she just stood there. She apologized cautiously, “I am sorry…”

“Tao Xi!”

Mengjie exploded again. She called Ming Shu who was almost floating passed them.

Ming Shu turned her head. She gave a small smile. “Why, do you want to bully me too?”

Mengjie: “…”

Mengjie said angrily, “what do you mean by bully you? Have you finished your job? Why are you leaving office again!”
