My Tenant is a Female Ghost
If Bai Zhuo still harbored any hope regarding his feelings for Kagura Aoi, then he could no longer afford to have any illusions about what he had done to Cao Yu.
After pursuing Ouyang Shirei without success and ending up with no good outcome from the blind date, he found himself entangled in a web of romantic misfortune within just six months. No, this was more than mere misfortune; it was a calamity of love! First, he was Ge Shui Lian's fiancé, then Yang Liu's boyfriend, and now he had a hidden relationship with Kagura Aoi. To make matters worse, there was also Cao Yu. Strictly speaking, he was still Miao Qi's husband—let's not forget that in the Miao Family Courtyard, Miao Qi and Bai Zhuo had held a proper wedding ceremony according to Miao Family customs!
"Are you thinking about other women?" Cao Yu asked, raising her head slightly.
Bai Zhuo broke into a cold sweat; her intuition was terrifyingly accurate! He quickly denied it, "No way! How could I?"
Cao Yu let out a light laugh, whether mocking or coldly amused, "You forgot that we met in Yun Province Miao Territory. Do you need me to clarify who is by your side?"
Bai Zhuo was momentarily speechless, stammering and unable to respond. But deep down, he knew that at this moment, he absolutely could not mention any other women.
"I won't comment on the other two girls, but that refined university girl must be the heir of Yang Group. Her name... seems to be Yang Liu," Cao Yu said as she tugged at one of the grapes on Bai Zhuo's chest. "You must be thinking about her, right?"
Bai Zhuo had no words to counter; how could he tell her that he was thinking about more than just Yang Liu?
Cao Yu continued, "That doesn't seem right either. You shouldn't be lacking in money; in terms of status, I'm above that girl. As for looks—I'm not boasting—I'm not inferior to her either. There must be something else that makes you think about another woman while having such a beauty in your arms..." After pondering for a moment, Cao Yu suddenly realized, "Could it be... do you prefer the Loli type? You... you really are a pervert! That girl looks only fifteen or sixteen!"
Why does everyone who knows think I'm a pervert? Am I really a Loli enthusiast? Bai Zhuo couldn't help but doubt himself.
"You guessed it right," Cao Yu said lightly.
Bai Zhuo fell silent, contemplating many things while Cao Yu also seemed lost in thought.
After a long while, Bai Zhuo finally managed to say, "I'm sorry..." His tone was sincere and unpretentious. Cao Yu sensed the genuine apology in his voice and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She self-deprecatingly replied, "Why apologize? I was the one who seduced you; you don't owe me anything. Don't all men enjoy this sort of thing? Just consider it... as my way of thanking you for saving me..."
Her voice grew softer and softer. Bai Zhuo understood her inner grievances and held her tighter. "Don't say that... I know you want to find a good place to settle down despite your strong personality."
Cao Yu leaned against his chest without refuting him. Bai Zhuo continued, "If... if I had met you earlier—you're so charming and wealthy—I might have fallen for you. We could have been a pair of celestial lovers; that wouldn't have been a bad choice."
Cao Yu curiously asked, "Then why can't it be now?"
"Because..." Bai Zhuo grasped Cao Yu's restless hand, "it's because I've recently encountered a romantic fate..."
"Romantic fate?"
"Yes, my master entrusted his granddaughter to me before he passed away, and I couldn't refuse. So, I am already someone else's fiancé—it's the other girl you met in Yun Province."
"Fiancé?" Cao Yu's eyes lit up at this, and after a moment of thought, she asked, "Isn't it that Yang Liu?"
"Yang Liu..." Bai Zhuo gently stroked Cao Yu's hair, contemplating for a moment before choosing to be honest. "I consider myself Yang Liu's boyfriend. But it's a fake relationship; what worries me is... I might end up taking it seriously."
Cao Yu suddenly asked, "Have you slept with her?"
"No," Bai Zhuo was taken aback and playfully slapped Cao Yu's round bottom. "What are you thinking?"
Cao Yu wasn't used to such affectionate gestures; she wriggled her hips, propped herself up, and stared intently at Bai Zhuo, asking, "What else? What else?"
"Qi, that little girl of yours—her grandmother has already promised her to me. We even followed Miao Family customs to become engaged. However, I was completely clueless at the time. But a man has to take responsibility; I promised Qi I'd wait two years."
"Responsibility?" A cold smile appeared on Cao Yu's lips. "What nonsense responsibility? You men think I don't know? You just want to sleep with her!"
Bai Zhuo slapped her bottom again, exasperated. "What nonsense! I haven't touched her; I'm not a beast!"
Cao Yu yelped in pain and returned to lying against his chest, a barely noticeable smile on her lips as she asked, "What else?"
At this point, Bai Zhuo decided to come clean about everything. "There's another woman—a Japanese woman. Because... for certain reasons, she and I... well, let's just say she's temporarily staying at my house."
"What do you mean by that?" Cao Yu reached toward Bai Zhuo's brother and unconsciously tightened her grip.
Cao Yu was a black belt in Taekwondo; her grip was strong. Bai Zhuo winced in pain and pleaded, "Easy now... that time was because of a spirit possessing me; it just happened without intention."
"And then?" Cao Yu asked coldly, temporarily releasing him. Bai Zhuo stroked Cao Yu's back and said, "But in my heart, the one I care about the most is another woman."
"Who is she?"
Bai Zhuo felt that his brother was under pressure again and hurriedly explained, "It's Ouyang Shirei, the director of Good Baby Orphanage."
"The director of an orphanage?" Cao Yu was somewhat surprised. She had thought that the woman Bai Zhuo liked would be a powerful figure, or someone stunningly beautiful and well-known in the industry, or perhaps a mysterious celebrity. She didn't expect it to be the director of an orphanage, which was quite unexpected.
"Have you won her over?" she asked.
Bai Zhuo frowned and smiled bitterly. "Not yet... Her ex-husband has been pestering her..."
"Wait, ex-husband?" Cao Yu seemed to grasp the key point.
"Yes, ex-husband. Sister Shirei is a good girl; she just got hurt and wasn't given a proper home."
"So you like married women," Cao Yu concluded, and Bai Zhuo didn't bother to refute it. She continued to ask, "Is that all?"
"There's one more... it's you." Bai Zhuo sighed. "That's why I... I'm sorry."
For some reason, upon hearing Bai Zhuo's words, Cao Yu suddenly felt a brightness within her. She stood up and put on a sweater. "Let's go to the camp and find some clothes; we're going out."
The beauty was soft as jade. After leaving his embrace, Bai Zhuo felt a slight sense of loss, but he couldn't just cling on without moving forward; he had to face reality eventually.
