The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

1090 Perplexed and Smitten 150

“We’ll be spending quality time only when it’s just the two of us.”

“I’ve spent too much time with just you alone. I’m getting sick of it.”

“We can’t continue like this anymore! Mei Yangyang, I’m your dearest husband, how could you treat me like this!?!”

Mei Yangyang smiled at him and said coaxingly, “Be good, Hubby, stop whining. Muacks.”

Why does she sound like she’s cajoling a pet dog...

More than ten minutes later, An Xiaoning alighted from Pei Yi’s car while Pei Yi’s underlings began to leave as well.

“Please drive.”

The taxi driver continued on their intended route.

Long Tianze looked at Jin Qingyan and noticed that the latter did not ask any questions at all. Unable to contain his curiosity, he quickly asked, “Sis-in-law, just what did Pei Yi say to you?”

“It’s a secret.”

“...”

Seeing that she refused to speak, Long Tianze had no choice but to keep his curious questions to himself. Little did he know that Jin Qingyan was far more curious than he was, despite being calm and composed.

However, Jin Qingyan was well aware that it would be inappropriate to discuss the matter in the car.

Hence, when they boarded the plane, Jin Qingyan brought An Xiaoning to a private room, away from Long Tianze and Mei Yangyang.

“Just what did he say?”

“Nothing, he just said some redundant rubbish. There wasn’t a need for him to tell me those things.”

His curiosity was piqued even further. “What do you mean redundant rubbish?” he probed.

An Xiaoning smiled and asked, “Must you really know?”

“Yes.”

“Okay then, I’ll tell you. He said that Xihou Jiaping has made up his mind to kill you, but he won’t lay a finger on me for the time being.”

“Why?”

“He said that Xihou Jiaping thinks I don’t know who he is at all and that neither you nor Xiao Chenyang has told me about him yet, hence...”

“From the looks of it, he’s still so... incredibly foolish. Does he really think I’ll be the same person as I was in my previous lifetime and hide things from you because I don’t want you to be worried?” Jin Qingyan said while stroking his chin.

An Xiaoning asked in astonishment, “The same person as you were? Did you dream of our previous lifetime too?”

“I dreamed of it almost every day when I was in Mount Wanyan. I then reached a conclusion,” he said, pinching her face gently.

“What conclusion?”

“All the misunderstandings stemmed from the fact that neither of us could be honest with each other. If we trusted each other and told each other truthfully about everything instead of hiding some details, what can come in between us?”

An Xiaoning agreed, “I think so too. However, we decided to keep some things from each other, simply because we were worried that the other party would be worried, didn’t we?”

“I used to be like that in our previous lifetime. Hence, he probably thinks that I’ll be the same in this one too and hide some things for you. However...” After some thought, Jin Qingyan continued, “I still think Pei Yi has an ulterior motive.”

“What ulterior motive could he have...? He just doesn’t want me to die so soon. In his eyes, it’s a piece of cake for Xihou Jiaping to kill me. He probably just doesn’t want to stir trouble.”

“Let’s not talk about him.” He hugged her and sat down. “Are you tired?”

“Not at all.” An Xiaoning removed her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed. She asked, “How do you think I should settle the issue with No. 8? That Sister Zhang has the Flying Tigers gang as her backing. They gave me a compensatory sum of 10 million dollars because she had harassed us previously.”

“Try not to go toe-to-toe with these gangsters. In my opinion, the Flying Tigers will definitely contact you first once we’re back in S Nation, unless they’ve decided to give up on that Sister Zhang.”

Finding his words to have made sense, An Xiaoning said, “I was really frightened when Pei Yi stopped us from proceeding.”

“Why?”

“I thought it was Xihou Jiaping.”

He stroked her hair and said, “We have to face him sooner or later anyway. It’s inevitable. What are you afraid of? Don’t be. I’m here with you, aren’t I?”

His words gave An Xiaoning a great deal of reassurance.

Now that she felt much more at ease, she stopped dwelling on the things that had yet to happen.

—

Fang Erlan and Xiao Chenyang arrived home before the others did.

It was twelve noon when they arrived in A City.

Their stomachs were rumbling when they exited the airport, for the food served on the plane was simply too unsatisfactory.

Since there was barely any food in the refrigerator at home, they decided to have lunch before heading home.

Just as they alighted from the taxi, Fang Erlan caught sight of Yan Ge, who was clad in a pair of shades and exiting the lobby together with Xiao Li.

Clearly, Yan Ge had also seen her.

Fang Erlan cocked her head toward the side quickly and said to Xiao Chenyang, “There’s not much food left at home. Let’s go to the supermarket to get some.”

Xiao Chenyang had thought the same too. Thus, they walked to the supermarket together.

Yan Ge paused in his tracks for a short while before proceeding forward. He shifted his gaze onto the pair outside the supermarket.

“Brother, isn’t that Ms. Fang?”

“I can see that.”

“Why did she leave right after she saw you? She didn’t even say hi,” Xiao Li said in puzzlement.

Yan Ge brushed him off, “Okay, you may go back first. I won’t be going back to the agency today. I’ll go tomorrow instead.”

Xiao Li had no idea why he decided to change his mind all of a sudden. However, he did not say anything and instead got inside the car and left.

Yan Ge turned around and walked back to the lobby.

Fang Erlan seemed extremely distracted when she was buying some groceries and constantly grabbed the wrong items. When Xiao Chenyang asked her what was wrong, she shook her head and refused to tell him.

The two of them headed back up with the bags of groceries.

As soon as Xiao Chenyang unlocked the door with the passcode, Fang Erlan heard the sounds of Yan Ge’s door opening.

She made eye contact with him, and he said, “There’s something I have to talk to you about regarding work. Come in.”

“Give me a moment, I’ll place the groceries inside the refrigerator.” She entered her apartment with the bag of groceries, filled with bewilderment.

Something about work?

The television series is currently in post-production and publicity hasn’t started yet. What’s there to talk about?

After putting down the groceries, Fang Erlan informed Xiao Chenyang about it and went to the unit opposite.

Yan Ge left the door to his apartment ajar on purpose. Fang Erlan entered, changed out of her shoes, and closed the door.

He was sitting on the couch with one leg crossed over the other. On the table was a cup of green tea that was still piping hot.

Fang Erlan sat down opposite him and asked, “What do you have to talk to me about...?”

“I’ve agreed to star in ‘The Man from the Ancient Times.’”

Fang Erlan glared at him in shock and exclaimed, “What?”

“The director spoke to me about it personally. I was pleased with the script so I decided to take it on. It’s only right that I talk to you, the female lead, about it. Isn’t it?”

Fang Erlan immediately recalled the incident about her role being snatched away.

Did Yu Caiwei snatch the role away from me, precisely because Yan Ge has agreed to star in it?

“When did you agree?”
