748 A Million Times for You 110 (1/2)

She put on her clothes in a bid to leave immediately. Xiao Yue hurriedly held her back and said, ”Sis Erlan, you can't just go out looking like that. There are tons of paparazzi outside. You'll be having dinner with Yan Ge, and they'll definitely snap photos of you. You wouldn't want photos of you being barefaced to be circulated online, would you? Did you forget what Sis Yangyang instructed you? You must be mindful of your image at all times, especially in public. Put on some makeup before going. At most, just remove it again when you come back.”

Fang Erlan expressed assent and did as instructed.

”Alright, I can go on my own. You've had a long day, you don't have to follow me. Go get some rest, I'll be fine with Yan Ge and the rest around. It's just downstairs anyway.”

”Alright then, don't drink too much, Sis Erlan.”

”Of course, I know my limits.”

Fang Erlan did not proceed to meet Jing Shui immediately and instead gave Yan Ge a call, which was answered by Xiao Li.

”Is Yan Ge done with filming?”

”We just arrived at the hotel. Aren't we going for dinner tonight? Brother would like you to come here.”

”I'll head there right away.” She ended the call and took a look at the time to see that it was already half past nine.

Fang Erlan picked up in her tracks and entered the elevator.

She arrived at the highest floor where they'd agreed to meet. As soon as she reached the door of the private dining room, she heard the sounds of an ongoing conversation coming from inside.

The moment she entered, Jing Tian greeted, ”You're here, Erlan. Come have a seat here.”

She stepped forward and sat down on a chair. Apart from Yan Ge, Jing Tian, and the host, Jing Shui, the other co-director, the supporting actors, the lighting technician, cameramen, as well as other crew members were also present.

The conversation mostly revolved around the television series. Fang Erlan kept Mei Yangyang's words in mind and refrained from speaking too much or drinking too much alcohol and instead continued to eat.

She avoided drinking as much as possible, especially since she could not hold her liquor well.

After chatting with each other, they began playing some games with a dice, which Jing Tian and Fang Erlan were both reluctant to join in. However, the enthusiastic Jing Shui could not contain his excitement and insisted on having Fang Erlan join in on the fun. Thus, she had no choice but to play a few rounds, all of which she lost.

After having lost three consecutive rounds and downing three glasses of liquor, Fang Erlan decided to stop playing.

She was already getting dizzy spells and felt like leaving. However, she dared not utter another word upon seeing how thrilled everyone was.

The dinner finally came to an end when it was almost eleven o'clock.

Fang Erlan heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone exited the private room.

Fang Erlan's mobile phone began ringing all of a sudden while she was walking along the corridor. She whipped it out to see that it was a call from Jing Shui.

She looked up to glance at Jing Shui, who was walking away, and did not pick up.

She soon received another text message, which read: ”My room number is 628. Come over later, I have something to say to you.”

Fang Erlan could tell that something was fishy, even if she was slow-witted.

She immediately understood what he meant.

She replied: ”Let's talk tomorrow instead. It's getting late, I'd like to rest now.”

Yan Ge had already read the text messages on her mobile phone while walking beside her. He quickly looked away and entered the elevator together with her, as if he did not see anything at all.

Fang Erlan entered the elevator and stood in front of Jing Shui. Yan Ge subconsciously switched places with her and nudged her toward the wall of the elevator.

The elevator stopped at the sixth floor, after which Jing Tian, Jing Shui, and the other crew members exited, leaving the actors inside the elevator.

The elevator continued to ascend.

It came to a halt again on the eighth floor, and they all exited together.

They returned to their rooms one after another.
