953 Perplexed and Smitten 13 (1/2)

”Did you buy something online again?”

An Xiaoning was astounded too. ”I swear to Heaven, I really didn't buy anything.”

She swiftly got out of the bed and opened the door to receive the express package from Fan Shixin. ”Where is it from?”

”It only says that it's from overseas. The sender is a Mr. Xiao.”

”Mr. Xiao?” She went through her memory as she closed the door and said to Jin Qingyan, who was on the bed, ”But I don't know anyone with that surname.”

”Open the package to see what's inside.”

An Xiaoning tore the express package open and took out a piece of drawing from inside. Looking at the piece of drawing, her face changed instantly and she quickly showed it to him. ”Quick, look.”

Jin Qingyan's eyes swept through the piece of drawing. It was a piece of handmade drawing, but what was drawn was actually An Xiaoning in an ancient costume along with the back view of a man.

The artist was definitely talented as the drawing looked so vivid that it was extremely lifelike.

An Xiaoning immediately recognized the man. ”This back view was the one I saw late at night in my room at Sanqiao Estate. He had his back facing me that time too, and it looked exactly like this. His hair was very long. If not for his voice, I would have thought that he was a woman.”

Jin Qingyan's gaze grew deeper. ”What is the meaning of him sending this drawing?”

An Xiaoning carefully surveyed the drawing again. ”There are only two people in this drawing, and there's not a single additional element. I can't guess what his intentions are, but I'm more certain about something now.”

”What?”

”Previously, I guessed that he's either a soul that has lived a thousand years who possessed someone else's body or someone who's lived for that long a time himself. Now, I'm sure that the latter's not quite possible. If the latter is the case, why would he have long hair and be dressed in ancient costume? So, I'm guessing it's the case of the former. His soul is dressed in ancient costume because that was the original form he died as. Now, he must be possessing someone else's body.”

”But if it's the case of the former, why didn't he allow you to see his true looks?” Jin Qingyan's eyes darted to the piece of drawing. ”That doesn't quite make sense. Don't be so quick to draw a conclusion. You'll have a better understanding of what he is exactly in the future. You don't have to bother about what intentions he has either. We should turn a blind eye toward such things he sends us.”

With that, he simply tore the drawing and threw it into the bin.

”Why did you tear it?”

”He has the right to send it to us, but we definitely have the right to deal with it as we want too.”

An Xiaoning bit her lip. ”This drawing was handmade by him. If he finds out what you did to it, he'd be so mad his nose would go out of joint.”

”That's good. From now on, he wouldn't be Mr. Xiao but Mr. Crooked. Wouldn't that be great?”

”…”

Fang Erlan would be celebrating her 24th birthday soon. However, throughout the past years of her life, the number of strange people she had met could be counted with her fingers. Jing Yang was one of them.

This person simply made Fang Erlan irritated to the core.

The extent that she'd idolized him in the past was the exact extent that she abhorred him now.

She originally thought that after he had finished filming his scenes as a cameo, she would have no chance of meeting him anymore. Who would have thought that she was to be fooled by him again?

When filming ended that day, it was already past eight at night.

With her stomach rumbling with hunger, she went with Xiao Yue and her bodyguards to have dinner.

The four arrived at a rather clean cafeteria and sat down inside. Not long after they had sat down, they saw Jing Yang entering along with his assistant and six bodyguards.

Despite knowing that his fans had followed him into the cafeteria, he actually still headed toward Fang Erlan.
