676 A Million Times for You 38 (2/2)

Fang Erlan was from a humble background and had always been cast for minor or insignificant roles in films and drama series, ever since she graduated from the theater arts academy. Hence, she was thrilled and overjoyed to have a personal assistant for the first time.

”How old are you?” Fang Erlan asked.

”I'm twenty years old.”

”I'm three years older than you.” Fang Erlan picked out one of the outfits and said, ”I shall wear this tonight.”

”Alright, I'll hang the rest in the closet.” Fang Erlan was pleased to see how hardworking Xiao Yue was as the latter proceeded to tidy up the place after hanging the clothes inside the closet. She had taken a genuine liking to her new assistant.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Mei Yangyang sent Fang Erlan the dinner location and instructed her to make her way there herself.

Fang Erlan did not bring her assistant along and instead headed to the agreed upon location in a taxi.

The skies were gloomy. She was the first one to arrive at the private dining room of the hotel restaurant.

Due to the heavy traffic, the rest of the invited guests had yet to arrive. Thus, Fang Erlan had no choice but to keep waiting alone.

More than ten minutes later, the door opened and Yan Ge entered with his assistant, Xiao Li.

Upon the sight of Fang Erlan, they looked at each other in bewilderment, after which Xiao Li chastised, ”We let you off the previous time you barged into Yan Ge's room. Trust you to have the cheek to show up here. Just how did you know that Yan Ge would be here tonight?”

Fang Erlan rose from her seat and greeted with a smile, ”Nice to meet you, Yan Ge.”

Yan Ge was extremely perturbed and found her behavior rather strange.

Not wanting to embarrass or lash out at his fan, Yan Ge said, ”This is not where you should be. There'll be other people coming in later. Hurry and leave before they arrive.”

”Hello, Yan Ge, I'm Fang Erlan. I'm the lead actress who'll be working with you this time,” she introduced herself.

Xiao Li was instantly dumbfounded. He looked up at Yan Ge to see that he was pursing his lips in perplexity.

”How are you related to the investors?”

One can only imagine how awful Fang Erlan must have felt when she heard his question.

Pointing at Xiao Li, she requested, ”Please go outside. I'd like to have a word with him privately.”

”Alright.” Xiao Li exited the room, leaving the two of them alone.

They took seats facing each other.

Fang Erlan explained, ”I was acting out the scenes for a minor role at the television studio in C City when I met Sis Xiaoning. She happened to be there to look for you at that time. She then decided to cast me as the female lead for the upcoming drama. I graduated from the theater arts academy, but because of the fact that I don't have a strong background or a wealthy family to back me up, I've only ever been offered minor and insignificant roles in film productions. Hence, I obviously have to treasure this golden opportunity that Sis Xiaoning has kindly given me. I knew you were a big shot who's known to have a bad temper, so I decided to go watch you from afar and see if you're really like what the netizens have made you out to be. Yet, I was unexpectedly chased by a crook and almost got abducted. I'm very sorry to have barged into your room by accident. I didn't do it on purpose. Please forgive me. I've been rehearsing my lines and trying to get into the role the past few days. I know you don't wish to see me now, but I'll work hard and do my best!”

She was parched from saying so much in one go.

Yan Ge did not, even once, interrupt her, and he had understood what she meant.

She was afraid that he would make life difficult for her because of the incident.

Am I really such a petty person?

I actually thought she was a crazy fan of mine. Damn it, how embarrassing!

Seems like it was my wishful thinking.

”How old are you?” Yan Ge asked.

”Twenty-three.”

She's ten years younger than me.

”Since you said that you graduated from the theater arts academy, your acting chops should be rather substantial. I hope you won't disappoint me. But… have you any idea how much of a disturbance you had caused me when you barged into my room?” Yan Ge said solemnly.
