My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

Song Yan was lying on top of her bed with her arm resting over her eyes.

' I was your second choice.'

Honestly, she has no memory left of the time when she was chasing Fu Yu Sheng but she knew that the old her must have said something like that because that was what she had in her mind when she started chasing him. He was good-looking, rich and a wonderful man who would rather jump off the building than cheat on her even under the effect of an aphrodisiac.

But she didn't remember when exactly she said that to him… she shut her eyes close hoping when she couldn't remember a thing. This was a mistake, everything from the start to finish, she wished she could say that he was wrong, that she really loved him —— then how come her feeling eventually faded?

Love lasts for long right?

" God what a mess," she pushed herself off the bed and then walked over to the balcony before peering into Fu Yu Sheng's apartment, he left after dropping her. She wanted to say something to him when he was leaving but eventually, nothing came to her mind, what was she supposed to say anyway?

This marriage was a mistake. As Fu Yu Sheng said, it was nothing but a sham of marriage between two people who came together because of their mutual benefits.

A sigh escaped her lips as she leaned on the railings of the balcony and pressed her face against her arms that were folded on the cold metal of the railing.

" If you mind it so much, why not try to give him a chance?" asked a voice, when she turned her head, she saw Fang Yanli hovering in the air behind her while picking on her blackened nails. "It's not like he is going to ask you to jump into a normal relationship with him, he just wants to give your marriage a try and you can be mad at him while you are giving him the chance as well, make him grind what his momma gave him to win you back."

" It was never about my anger or his mistakes," said Song Yan as she returned to her room afraid that someone would see her talking to air. " I left him because staying with him would have endangered Chen Chen."

" And it's going to happen anyway," said Fang Yanli as she swooped down to stand on the floor like a human, and grimaced when Song Yan hiked a brow, Fang Yanli mumbled unhappily. " I don't like being at eye level with humans, anyway what I was saying was that Song Lan will come after you no matter what you do, even if you somehow push your husband and make him marry that woman, she will still come after you in the fear that Fu Yu Sheng will have you in his heart after marrying her."

She shrugged and continued, " She is a petty woman, to begin with, do you think that she will stop after finding out that you are no longer an obstacle in her and Fu Yu Sheng's marriage? Then you might as well say that you have thrown the five hundred years of cultivation down the drain because I will tell you that she will come after you. A woman's jealousy is way scarier than you think it is, as long as you are alive she will not leave you alone."

After saying all that, she paused and then with a gloomy expression added, " You are lucky that he is even willing to give it a try, even for the sake of his son or the teachings that he has learned in the Fu family. Many men would just go and look for another woman."

Song Yan understood why Fang Yanli was saying this, back then Fang Yanli's mother left the house after a fight with her husband, instead of bringing his wife back, Fang Yanli's father went ahead and cheated.

" So are you saying that I should be thanking him for doing the bare minimum?" asked Song Yan in frustration. Shouldn't Fang Yanli support her? Why was she taking Fu Yu Sheng's side?

" I am not saying that," said Fang Yanli with an eye roll. " I am all about supporting women's empowerment but he is not a bad man, Song Yan." She emphasised as she strode closer and held Song Yan's hand making her shiver slightly because of her cold touch. " He is a man willing to change and from what I heard, it was your father who was behind his abrupt departure. He made mistakes, you are right about that but mistakes can be redeemed, I mean it's not like he killed someone?"

" I——" began Song Yan but Fang Yanli smiled at her knowingly. " I know that you are not sure, why not start from scratch and slowly let him become a part of your and Chen Chen's life? Of course, this slow pace can go on for years, no one is going to say anything, will they? He took eight years to ask for forgiveness, you can take another ten to forgive him."

Song Yan smiled at her words, that's right. Fu Yu Sheng took eight years to come back, she might as well take sixteen to forgive him.

"Mom!" The door of her room was pushed open and Fu Chen who has gone out to play in the park next to the building rushed inside the room and hugged Song Yan's calf. " Aunt bought me a cotton candy!"

Song Yan laughed turning her attention to Fu Chen, she wiped the cotton candy flakes that were sticking to Fu Chen's lips. " Did you thank your aunt?"

" I did!" said Fu Chen puffing out his little chest. " I even shared my cotton candy with her."

Wei Mingzhi heard his words when she came to give Song Yan, Fu Chen's cap that he left behind and laughed softly. " Yes, our Chen Chen is a very smart child."

Listening to his aunt's praise Fu Chen's small face went even red.
