1043 Perplexed and Smitten 103 (1/2)

Smiling wryly, Yu Caiwei said, \”Yan Ge…\”

\”There's nothing for us to talk about. Don't come and look for me again.\” He placed the other icicle onto the table and took a seat on the couch.

The arrogant and self-righteous Yu Caiwei decided not to say anything else since he was already so adamant. However, it would be rather embarrassing to just leave since Fang Erlan was present too.

Being a veteran of the entertainment industry, she had long mastered the various conversational skills and techniques to apply when it comes to different people. Thus, she said with a pretentious smile, \”That's enough, Ms. Fang is not an outsider. There's no need for you to treat me that way in front of her. I'm going back now.\”

She then stood up and left.

The moment the door was closed, Fang Erlan asked, \”Did she mean that you two interact differently when I'm not around?\”

\”Are your brains fried? Can't you tell that she was just saying that on purpose?\”

\”Yes, yes, my brains don't function well, I couldn't tell the hidden meaning in her words,\” said Fang Erlan.

Seeing that she was a little upset, Yan Ge smiled and teased, \”Are you angry?\”

\”No.\” Fang Erlan took a bite of the popsicle and continued sluggishly, \”What has your interaction with her have to do with me? I'm not your girlfriend anyway. There's no need for me to worry.\”

Yan Ge squinted and asked, \”In that case, would you like to be worried? Would you like for it to concern you?\”

In other words, he was simply asking if she would like to be his girlfriend.

Fang Erlan could tell what he meant too, for she was no fool.

Slightly stunned, she said, \”You'll make others get the wrong idea easily. Do you mean the same thing that I'm thinking?\”

\”Maybe. What do you think I mean?\”

\”I think you're asking if I'd like to be your girlfriend.\”

Fang Erlan's ears began to turn red and hot out of shyness. She had no idea where to place her hands and dared not look into his eyes.

Just as her heart was fluttering and racing, Yan Ge's mobile phone began to ring all of a sudden. He took a look at the caller display and headed to the balcony to answer it.

Fang Erlan took a deep breath, feeling much better than she did a minute ago.

Staring at the figure on the balcony, Fang Erlan got a grip on her emotions as her nervousness faded.

Yan Ge's forehead was creased into a frown, and she had no idea who he was speaking to over the phone. He entered again with a grave expression on his face and said to her, \”My father injured himself during a fall. I have to go to the hospital now.\”

\”Hurry and go take a look, then…\” said Fang Erlan who tensed up again after hearing his words. However, she did not offer to accompany him since that would spark unnecessary rumors.

She returned home, still pondering over the conversation they just had.

Was that what he had meant?

Does he fancy me too?

She dared not jump to conclusions.

She spent the rest of her time pondering over the matter.

She really wanted to send him a text to clarify things.

However, she could not bring herself to do so because of her pride.

Fang Erlan cooped herself up at home to think about the matter for the entire afternoon.

At last, she decided on not finding out the truth. After all, she would not harbor feelings for him or get her hopes up if she did not know, and she also would not have to worry about Xiao Chenyang being a threat.

She stopped feeling troubled after having figured it all out.

Staring at the magnificent mountain in front of him, Jin Qingyan asked, \”Where's this place?\”
