Chapter 1106: Perplexed and Smitten (166)

The first thing Jin Qingyan did when he returned upstairs was to call Fan Shixin. He then proceeded to call An Xiaoning after hearing from Fan Shixin that everything was fine.

He told her about the dream he had last night. There was barely anyone whom he could tell such things to.

After hearing his words, An Xiaoning imagined the scenario in her head according to his description.

Her tears fell silently, and she said, “We already know who the culprit is. The one who caused us to be separated and who raided the Prince’s residence in our previous lifetime. Back then, the medium from the Yin family sealed and trapped the souls of your servants in the Prince’s residence. Regardless of where he reincarnates to, we’ll definitely find him, as well as the corpse of his previous incarnation. I must turn him into ashes with my bare hands! It doesn’t matter even if I have to cover my hands in blood.”

“Don’t cry.”

“How do you know that I’m crying? I’m not crying at all,” she said, wiping her tears away.

“Because there’s a surveillance camera in your room. I’m looking at you right now.”

An Xiaoning scanned her surroundings, and a spot on the corner of the wall caught her eye. She walked toward Fan Shixin and kicked him before saying, “Why didn’t you tell me that you had installed a surveillance camera in my room? Are you tired of living?”

“Young Madam, don’t malign me. Young Sir was the one who instructed me to do it. I didn’t want to at all. However, Young Sir insisted that I do it, so you should be beating him up instead.”

“He… I can’t bear to hit him.”

“I took the rap… without warning again,” Fan Shixin said with an aggrieved expression.

An Xiaoning smiled at him and gestured for him to leave. She then asked Jin Qingyan, “Are you at the office now?”

“No, I just woke up a while ago. I’ll go in the afternoon instead. I’d like to take a look at Mount Yihua.”

“Go ahead. I’ve gone there twice before. The spirits and souls in there have already gone to reincarnate. There’s nothing much left.”

“Okay, be mindful of your own safety.”

“Got it, do you still not believe in my abilities?”

“You’re so freaking impressive. Here’s a ‘like’ for you.”

“No, screw you.”

An Xiaoning chuckled and ended the call.

“Hahaha, Sis, what did Mr. Jin say? Look how happy you are.”

“That’s none of your business. Have you sketched the diagram?”

“Yes. There you go, hurry and memorize it,” said No. 5, who handed the sketch to her.

An Xiaoning scrutinized the diagram attentively. While she was focusing on memorizing it, her mobile phone began to ring again.

“Is it Young Sir again?” Fan Shixin asked.

“No, it’s Erlan.” She swiped to answer the call and put on her earphones while still keeping her eyes fixed on the sketch.

“Erlan.”

“Sis, Yan Ge knows about it.”

“Huh? What does he know?”

“He knows that I lied to him. He saw the expensive car that Xiao Chenyang had bought and asked me who the owner of the car was. I told him that the car belonged to me, since Xiao Chenyang is pretending to be my cousin and bodyguard on the surface. Anyway, he now knows that Xiao Chenyang is not my cousin. I didn’t want to hide things from him so I decided to tell him the truth.”

An Xiaoning grabbed her phone with her other hand and asked worriedly, “What… did you tell him?

“I admitted that Xiao Chenyang is not my cousin and that I don’t fancy him at all, but he was the one who compelled me. I didn’t tell him about the rest.”

An Xiaoning heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You mustn’t tell Yan Ge anything else about Xiao Chenyang. You ought to know what’s appropriate to divulge and what’s not.”

“Yes, I know. But, Sis Xiaoning, I really don’t know what to do now. Yan Ge and I fancy each other and I want to be with him.”

“I once promised Xiao Chenyang that I would stay out of your private life. Hence, there’s nothing I can do, unless it’s work-related. Erlan, Xiao Chenyang…” She paused and continued, “I’m not putting in a good word for him just because I know him. I know Yan Ge too. However, I just want to say, it’s really rare to have someone be so devoted to you like Xiao Chenyang is. Why would he do this to a stranger? Have you never thought about it carefully before?”

“I did, but I really couldn’t think of an answer. By the way, he had taken that female corpse away from the museum and cremated it. He’s also scattered her ashes into the ocean.”

“He brought you along, didn’t he?”

Fang Erlan answered, “Yes. I asked him about the corpse and he told me that he had requested you to bring it to the museum… Sis Xiaoning, is that true?”

“Yes, the corpse was originally situated in an ancient graveyard in V Nation. I brought it back here myself together with Shixin and delivered it to the museum.”

“V Nation? Sis Xiaoning, do you know how long he has been alive?” Fang Erlan asked.

An Xiaoning could tell that Fang Erlan had already discovered that Xiao Chenyang was extraordinary and different from the average human. She answered, “I don’t know exactly how long he’s been around for. However, you should ask him yourself if you’d like to find out.”

“Sis Xiaoning…”

“Yes? What’s the matter?”

“Do people who live past centuries really exist in this world?”

“It’s unbelievable, isn’t it?”

“It’s incredible.”

“Life has to go on. Filming is about to begin soon, isn’t it?” An Xiaoning asked, keeping her eyes fixed on the sketch.

“Yes, I’m joining the production unit soon. Xiao Chenyang is coming with me.”

“It must be hard on him. Focus on filming. Let time prove the rest.”

“What’s there to prove…”

“Let time prove who’s your destined Mr. Right.”

Fang Erlan constantly pondered over An Xiaoning’s words after ending the call.

She shifted her gaze onto the closet and walked toward it. She then took out the box inside and placed it onto the bed. She was filled with an inexplicable feeling while staring at the wedding gown.

She put the lid back onto the box and placed it back inside the closet.

As soon as she closed the door of the closet, the doorbell rang.

She went out to open the door, after which Xiao Yue handed her the item in her hand excitedly. “Sis, here… the coconut juice that you wanted. Is Cousin home?”

“No, what’s wrong?” Fang Erlan asked.

“Where is he, then?”

“Why are you asking about him?”

“Just a casual question.”

Fang Erlan poked her forehead and said, “I think you’re obsessed with him.”

“I like him too much.”

“What do you like about him? Do you like him just because he’s handsome?” Fang Erlan asked while closing the door.

“Sis Erlan, isn’t that reason good enough? Pardon me… I’m just that superficial.”

“That’s because you don’t know his true colors yet.”

“What true colors? Sis, tell me about it, I’m very curious,” Xiao Yue asked in puzzlement.

“For example, men are all lecherous. He might just rape you when I’m not around…”

Xiao Yue lit up with joy and surprise. “Sis Erlan, I’m willing to give myself to him. I’m just afraid that he’s not willing to take me!” she exclaimed.

Fang Erlan guffawed and chided, “Brainless.”

“I’m just making a casual remark. I know Cousin is not such a person.”

“You’ve only known him for days, how are you so sure…”

“Of course I am. If he harbored designs on me, he would’ve taken action on me long ago.”

“Get yourself prepared in the next couple of days. I’m about to join the production unit. Tough times are about to begin soon,” said Fang Erlan, looking at her.
