Chapter 1023: Perplexed and Smitten (83)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Alright, I’ll go along with your arrangements.”

“Take this time to get some rest and rejuvenate yourself before working on a new production again. Aside from that, I also want you to post a new thread on Weibo.”

“About?”

“Post about the news of you having a new handsome bodyguard and attach a photo of him.”

“Why must I announce that on Weibo?” Fang Erlan asked in bewilderment.

“The media is going to speculate that he’s your boyfriend if you show up together everywhere.”

“I told Yan Ge that he was my cousin.”

“Psht...” Mei Yangyang burst into laughter and asked, “Does Xiao Chenyang know about it?”

“Not yet.”

Mei Yangyang instructed, “Well, don’t announce that on Weibo. It’s going to be hard to explain if you two become a couple one day.”

Fang Erlan reiterated, “There’s no way we will ever become a couple. Alright, Sis Yangyang, I’m going back now.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

While leaving the studio, Fang Erlan felt a little hungry and asked, “Are you hungry?”

“A little.”

“I want to eat something.”

“What would you like to eat?”

“Some delicious food.”

He whipped out his mobile phone and began tapping away furiously. “What are you doing?” she asked.

“Ordering some food for you. The food should be prepared by the time we arrive. We wouldn’t have to wait.”

Fang Erlan was surprised to see how thoughtful he was, for she did not expect that he would be so caring.

The two of them got inside the nanny van and headed to the restaurant.

The moment they stepped foot inside the restaurant, Fang Erlan felt like all eyes were on her. She could not help but think to herself, Could it be that I’m starting to get famous?

She subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at the crowd while waving at them.

However...

All the patrons ignored her gesture, making her feel a little awkward. She took a closer took, only to discover that they weren’t looking at her at all. Instead, their eyes were fixed on Xiao Chenyang.

How awkward!

They headed upstairs together. After entering the private room, she said, “I thought they were all staring at me.”

He sat down and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

The dishes were served at just the right timing.

“Isn’t it the same regardless of who they look at? Shouldn’t you be happier instead?”

“Why should I be happy that others are staring at you?”

“Because I’m yours, silly,” he gibed.

“...”

“By the way, my co-star who lives opposite me asked me who you are and I told him that you are my cousin,” said Fang Erlan, who decided to explain it to him after much consideration.

He sneered, “Your cousin? Why don’t you say that I’m your godbrother who does you all day?”

Upon hearing his crude remark, she turned red immediately and chided, “How shameless.”

“You’re so afraid of being ashamed. Okay, what matters is you’re happy. Who cares if I’m your cousin or godbrother. Dig in.”

She continued, “If anyone asks you about it in the future, you must tell them the same thing. But of course, if any of my fans ask you who you are, just tell them that you’re my bodyguard.”

“Do you even have fans?” he said, exposing her relentlessly.

“I do! Didn’t you see how many followers I have on Weibo?” she quickly defended herself.

Xiao Chenyang said bluntly, “They’re all fake fans. Those who genuinely admire you will show their support for you through their actions by adding on to your viewership ratings. Actions speak louder than words. You’ll know who your true fans are once the television series begins airing.”

Fang Erlan dropped the subject and scanned her surroundings. “This is such a classy and elegant restaurant. Have you dined here before?”

“No.”

“How did you order the food, then? I thought you had patronized this restaurant before.”

“You can do anything online nowadays. I’ve downloaded a food-ordering app that allows me to look at reviews of many different restaurants. I’ve saved those that have gotten great reviews.”

“Oh, I see.”

Saves a great deal of trouble.

After having their fill and taking a break, they left together to return to the estate.

As soon as they alighted from the nanny van, they caught sight of Yan Ge exiting the lobby together with his mother.

Mrs. Yan was obviously there to visit her son.

Upon the sight of the two of them, Yan Ge said, “Jing Shui is at your doorstep right now. He came by to take a look because he couldn’t get through to you on your mobile phone.”

“I set my mobile phone to silent mode. I probably didn’t hear it.” She greeted Mrs. Yan politely, “Nice to meet you, Auntie.”

Mrs. Yan nodded and answered with a smile, “Hello, this is...”

“He’s my cousin who’s now my bodyguard.”

“What a handsome young chap,” Mrs. Yan remarked.

“Your bodyguard?” Yan Ge asked.

“Yes, he’s skilled in combat defense. He resigned from his previous job today.”

A sullen expression formed on Yan Ge’s face immediately. His instincts told him that this “cousin” of hers seemed a little suspicious and unusual.

He was sizing Xiao Chenyang up, and vice versa.

Fang Erlan was suddenly overwhelmed with nervousness because Yan Ge had informed her that Jing Shui was at her door.

Once they got inside the elevator, Xiao Chenyang asked, “Who’s Jing Shui?”

“Oh, he’s the co-director of the television series. He’s also my friend.”

“Your friend?”

“Of course.”

They arrived on the sixth floor.

Upon the sight of her, Jing Shui asked worriedly, “Where have you been? Why didn’t you answer all my calls?”

“I went to the studio. What brings you here?”

“I tried to call you but I couldn’t reach you, so I decided to drop by your place to take a look. Who’s he?” he asked.

“My cousin-cum-bodyguard.”

Jing Shui immediately relaxed after hearing that he was his cousin.

Fang Erlan opened the door and allowed him to enter. This was Jing Shui’s first time visiting her at her new apartment.

“You did a great job decorating this place, although it’s a little small.”

“It’s alright.” She grabbed a bottle of beverage from the refrigerator and handed it to Jing Shui, “Here, have some.”

He took it from her and asked, “Did you go to the studio to receive the notice of your next television series?”

“How did you know?”

“I actually already heard a little about your studio signing you on for another television series. However, I also heard that that production unit is a highly-competent one. That’s great. You’re the only artiste signed to your studio right now. Seems like they’re focused on pushing you to fame.”

“Yes, but there’s still some time for me to rest before filming begins.” Fang Erlan had a casual chat with Jing Shui, secretly hoping that he would leave as soon as possible.

However, it did not seem like Jing Shui was planning to leave any time soon.

Xiao Chenyang began to get rather impatient and said, “Mr. Jing, it looks like it’s going to rain soon.”

“No problem, I’ve already read the weather forecast. It’s not going to rain today. Besides, I drove here.”

“...”

Xiao Chenyang said bluntly, “Can’t you tell that I’m reminding you it’s time to leave?”

Fang Erlan found his words to be rather callous and inappropriate.

“This is Erlan’s house. You may be her bodyguard and cousin, but I don’t think you have the right to tell me to leave,” Jing Shui said with a look of disgruntlement, finding Xiao Chenyang to be extremely nosy.

Just as Xiao Chenyang was about to retort, Fang Erlan shot him a glance to warn him, after which he switched on the television and turned the volume up to almost the maximum.
