Chapter 17: Cleansing the Soul with a Sacred Song

Upon hearing these words, Mu Linghan narrowed her eyes, her tone turning chilly.

"Ye Jiayao, you're meddling too much."

The look in Mu Linghan's eyes left Ye Jiayao stunned, and she felt a chill run down her spine as she realized her mistake.

Clearly, there were strong suspicions about that chicken soup, but because it was related to Qin Xueyi, the big shot didn't care?!

Feeling irritated, Ye Jiayao's tone also turned cold. "Would you be willing to drink a bowl of arsenic if Qin Xueyi offered it to you?"

"Ye Jiayao!" Mu Linghan's voice turned colder, laced with a hint of warning, causing the room's temperature to drop suddenly.

Ye Jiayao turned to leave. "I think Grandma Mu must be missing me."

Mu Linghan's eyebrows twitched. "Ye Jiayao, come back."

Ye Jiayao halted her steps and looked at Mu Linghan. She grinned, her eyes glinting mischievously. "I'm not here to tattle on anyone. I'm not a child."

"Mu Linghan..."

Mu Linghan rubbed her forehead with a touch of helplessness. "Go and have it tested."

Suyexi replied, "Alright."

Suyexi went out, but the result wasn't as expected. The thermos had been washed, and there was no leftover soup for sampling.

Ye Jiayao sighed in regret as she looked at Mu Linghan's expressionless face and couldn't help but taunt her. "You must be feeling fortunate that you protected your precious 'white moonlight.'"

Mu Linghan remained silent.

Ye Jiayao snorted. "Mu Linghan, don't let love cloud your judgment. It's hard to tell whether someone is a human or a ghost."

Mu Linghan looked at Ye Jiayao with a deep gaze and mocked, "That advice suits you better."

Was Big shot implying her relationship with Lu Jinming?

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes. "Lu Jinming and I have nothing. You should browse the internet more and quickly get your IQ back online."

After saying that, she stood up and walked out, directly leaving the villa and taking a taxi to the hospital. From there, she drove her own car to her property.

Ye Jiayao contacted a moving company, packed her belongings, and spent the afternoon busy with the move. Soon, everything was neatly arranged, and she moved into Mu Linghan's villa.

Aunt Hong looked at Ye Jiayao's bags and was surprised. "Miss Ye, are you coming back to live with the master?"

She had thought Ye Jiayao's request to clean the room before leaving was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect her to be serious.

Ye Jiayao replied arrogantly, "Is the room ready?"

She could eat and drink here while renting out her own place to make some money. She was truly clever!

After a moment of surprise, Aunt Hong nodded repeatedly, her face showing a sense of relief. "Yes, it's all set. It's right next to the master bedroom, spacious, with good lighting, and even has an outdoor balcony."

Ye Jiayao nodded, expressing her satisfaction, and then directed a group of movers to carry her things inside.

The room quickly filled up, and the cloakroom was packed full of luxury clothing and handbags, as well as various kinds of jewelry. Ye Jiayao looked at the full drawers of jewelry, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She picked up her phone and started taking pictures.

Mu Linghan was resting in the bedroom when he suddenly heard sporadic sounds coming from the next room. Since he already had poor sleep quality, this made it even more impossible for him to fall asleep.

His face darkened involuntarily, and he called for Aunt Hong.

"What's going on?"

Aunt Hong appeared at the bedroom door, looking a bit embarrassed. "Miss Ye has moved to the next room, and you agreed to it, sir..."

"I'm asking... cough, cough!" Mu Linghan's face darkened further, and he suddenly started coughing.

Aunt Hong's expression tightened, and she hurriedly went forward to pour him some water. Mu Linghan declined and spoke in a cold and stern voice, "Bring her here."

Soon, Ye Jiayao appeared in front of Mu Linghan, looking puzzled.

"What do you want me for?"

"Change rooms!" Mu Linghan's face was cold and his pale complexion showed some irritation.

"It's too noisy!" Ye Jiayao was taken aback. She had only taken out those luxury items to take pictures. How could it be noisy?

Right, in the original story, it was mentioned that Mu Linghan had poor health and often coughed. Besides, his sleep quality was also bad, and even the slightest noise could keep him awake.

I just didn't expect him to be so sensitive!

Ye Jiayao quickly changed her words, "Then, I won't do it anymore."

Mu Linghan didn't let her off, though. "Move downstairs!"

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes.

This man is so petty!

"Cough, cough, cough!" Suddenly, Mu Linghan started coughing severely again.

Ye Jiayao's expression tightened, and she quickly poured him a glass of water and handed it to him.

After drinking the water, Mu Linghan's cough eased a bit, but he still had a dark expression.

Hmm, the circles under his eyes became even darker.

Ye Jiayao suddenly remembered that the book mentioned Mu Linghan's sleep problem, saying that he once miraculously fell asleep after listening to a certain song. But as for which song... it wasn't written in the book!

It only mentioned that when the Big shot was in the female lead's car, he heard some music on the radio that magically made him feel at ease, and then he fell asleep!

Ye Jiayao couldn't help but complain!

This is just to highlight the female lead's all-around abilities. They randomly put a song for Mu Linghan, and it happened to work like a charm!

"If you can't sleep, I'll sing for you!" Ye Jiayao said.

Upon hearing this, Mu Linghan's face turned black!

Sing when he can't sleep? What kind of logic is that!

"No..." Mu Linghan was about to refuse, but then Ye Jiayao's beautiful voice came through, gentle and soft, like a divine melody, momentarily stunning him.

The singing seemed to have a magical power that washed away his inner restlessness, and his mood gradually calmed down. Then, his eyelids became heavier and heavier...

Finally, he lost consciousness.

Ye Jiayao was still singing with all her heart, and it wasn't until she finished the whole song that she realized Mu Linghan had fallen asleep!

Ye Jiayao felt delighted; singing actually worked! The key was that she sang a church hymn! She didn't know which song was played on the broadcast in the original work, so she relied entirely on her intuition to select a hymn. Church hymns were said to cleanse the soul! Especially for someone as irritable as Big Shot, it was perfect! Could it be that she stumbled upon the right choice by accident, or was it simply the act of singing that mattered?

Regardless, she had finally found a weakness in Big Shot! This was the first step to winning him over.

Ye Jiayao tiptoed out of the bedroom and gently closed the door. Aunt Hong was waiting outside the door, looking worried. She peeked inside, and Ye Jiayao made a hushing gesture before going downstairs.

Once downstairs, Aunt Hong whispered, "Did the master fall asleep?"

Ye Jiayao nodded.

Aunt Hong was surprised and couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up. "Usually, the master can't fall asleep if there's someone in the room. Miss Ye, you're amazing!"

Ye Jiayao suddenly raised her chin and smiled proudly, her words filled with arrogance, "Well, just look at who I am! I'm the kind of person who charms everyone and everything around me. I am an outstanding beauty with flawless elegance and grace. Even the proudest man would have to kneel before me."

Aunt Hong: "..."

Her lady was still as domineering and self-confident as ever.

"Do we have ingredients at home?"

Aunt Hong nodded, "Yes, Miss Ye. Are you hungry? What would you like me to prepare?"

Ye Jiayao rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll do it myself."
