933 A Million Times for You 295 (2/2)

”Okay, then.”

An Xiaoning, Mei Yangyang, and Fang Erlan got inside the car together without Xiao Yue.

”Give me your birth characters and timing, I'll see if someone is intentionally getting in your way.”

Fang Erlan blurted without hesitation, ”I was born on the 28th of July at seven o'clock in the evening. I don't exactly know which minute and second though.”

After hearing her birth characters, An Xiaoning began reading her fortune for the recent months.

Noticing the frown on her forehead, Mei Yangyang immediately asked, ”Sis, did she really encounter a troublemaker?”

”Yes.” An Xiaoning said to Fang Erlan, ”Erlan, tell me in detail, did you have a feud with anyone ever since you joined the production team?”

”There's one such person. It's Jing Yang,” said Fang Erlan, who could not help but feel disgusted at the thought of him. She then explained everything to An Xiaoning, including the details of when she first asked him for an autograph, all the way until he offered to make a cameo appearance.

Mei Yangyang chimed in, ”Yeah, he was the one who pulled the publicity stunt by sparking rumors about being in a relationship with Erlan.”

”He probably didn't get close to you with the intention of harming you. Judging from the fact that he offered to make a cameo appearance, he probably has other plans in mind. Who else have you fallen out with apart from him?”

Shaking her head, Fang Erlan answered, ”I didn't really offend anyone…”

Suddenly reminded of what Xiao Yue said to her just now, she repeated the latter's words to An Xiaoning before saying, ”Yan Ge's fiancée has moved into the same hotel as us, and she checked into a room on the same floor as ours. However, she seems to be a kind, nice, and educated person. I don't think she's the one.”

”When did she move in?”

”It's been a while now.”

An Xiaoning tilted her head and looked at her. ”Do you fancy Yan Ge?” she asked.

Taken aback, Fang Erlan frantically defended herself, ”No, not at all. He's already engaged, I don't harbor any designs on him.”

”What if he wasn't engaged, then? When I was talking to Director Jing previously, I heard from him that you'd added a kiss scene on your own. I thought I heard him wrong,” An Xiaoning said solemnly.

Fang Erlan instantly turned red and spluttered, ”Sis Xiaoning, I'll never do such a silly thing again. Trust me.”

An Xiaoning smirked and teased, ”You do fancy him, don't you? It's fine, Yangyang and I are your employers. Just tell us the truth.”

”I only decided to add that scene because I felt like I was at a losing end since I'd given him my first kiss. On the other hand, he had already kissed so many actresses before, so I wanted to…” Fang Erlan paused in her speech, too embarrassed to continue.

”You wanted to take revenge on him?” An Xiaoning asked.

”Yes,” Fang Erlan answered softly.

”You must be fond of him. Do you still carry any hopes of being in a relationship with him?” An Xiaoning asked earnestly.

Shaking her head, Fang Erlan answered, ”Absolutely not. Ever since I found out about his engagement, I haven't been talking to him much in private. I've even stopped rehearsing my lines together with him before filming starts. I know my limits. He had yet to go for a blind date and he didn't have a fiancée yet when I added that kiss scene. Besides, I definitely wouldn't carry a torch for a man who has a girlfriend or fiancée.”

”That's good. Even if you still harbor any feelings for him that you have developed over the few months of filming, you must do your best to hold yourself back. Your career has just begun taking off. Don't let any frivolous rumors ruin your progress. It's easy to be mistaken as a homewrecker. Once your reputation is tarnished, it'd be hard to clear your name. Erlan, you came from a humble family, you should know that you wouldn't have had the chance to star as the female lead if it weren't because I'm the main investor of the television series. Since you're an artiste of our studio, we have every duty to spur you on and push you toward fame and success. However, you mustn't let me and Yangyang down, got it?”

Fang Erlan answered with a nod, ”I understand. Rest assured, Sis Xiaoning, I definitely wouldn't be a homewrecker. I'll stop carrying a torch for him.”

Mei Yangyang said, ”We do allow you to get into relationships, but Erlan, take a look at all the celebrities in the entertainment industry. Most of them only reveal their relationship status when they're engaged. Celebrities can't be like normal citizens and expose every relationship they get into. I just need you to understand that.”
