Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Alright, I’ll go along with your arrangents.”
“Take this ti to get so 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 handso bodyguard and attach a photo of him.”
“Why must I announce that on Weibo?” Fang Erlan asked in bewildernt.
“The dia 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...” i Yangyang burst into laughter and asked, “Does Xiao Chenyang know about it?”
“Not yet.”
i Yangyang instructed, “Well, don’t announce that on Weibo. It’s going to be hard to explain if you two beco a couple one day.”
Fang Erlan reiterated, “There’s no way we will ever beco 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 sothing.”
“What would you like to eat?”
“So delicious food.”
He whipped out his mobile phone and began tapping away furiously. “What are you doing?” she asked.
“Ordering so food for you. The food should be prepared by the ti 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 mont 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 .”
He sat down and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
The dishes were served at just the right timing.
“Isn’t it the sa 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 asked 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 imdiately and chided, “How shaless.”
“You’re so afraid of being ashad. 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 sa 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 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 ca 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 et you, Auntie.”
Mrs. Yan nodded and answered with a smile, “Hello, this is...”
“He’s my cousin who’s now my bodyguard.”
“What a handso 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 ford on Yan Ge’s face imdiately. His instincts told him that this “cousin” of hers seed a little suspicious and unusual.
He was sizing Xiao Chenyang up, and vice versa.
Fang Erlan was suddenly overwheld with nervousness because Yan Ge had inford 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 imdiately relaxed after hearing that he was his cousin.
Fang Erlan opened the door and allowed him to enter. This was Jing Shui’s first ti visiting her at her new apartnt.
“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 so.”
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 fa.”
“Yes, but there’s still so ti for 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 ti 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 ti 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 to leave,” Jing Shui said with a look of disgruntlent, finding Xiao Chenyang to be extrely 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 volu up to almost the maximum.
