1063 Perplexed and Smitten 123 (1/2)

\”Aren't you going to take a look at the script before deciding?\”

\”No need for that.\”

\”By the way, the author was also the one who had edited the script so I think the storyline should be closely similar to the original story.\”

\”I can rest assured, then. Sis Yangyang, sign the contract on my behalf.\”

\”Okay.\”

After hanging up, Fang Erlan hurriedly called Xiao Yue to inform her of the news and told her to buy a hard copy of \”The Tyrannical Adonis Falls in Love with Me.\”

Xiao Yue rushed off to the bookstore to buy a copy, which she then delivered to her.

\”Sis, are you for real?\”

\”Of course, Sis Yangyang called me personally.\”

\”Ah, Sis Erlan, you'll definitely make it big. All the dramas that you've starred in and about to star in are splendid productions. I can totally imagine you receiving numerous accolades and attending prize ceremonies while dressed in an extravagant gown.\”

Fang Erlan smiled and said, \”Greater expectations often lead to greater disappointment. I'll just let nature take its course. It'll be great if I can rise to fame, but if I don't, at least I've tried my best. Anyway, I'll do my best in every production that I take part in.\”

\”Sis Erlan, why hasn't your cousin returned yet?\”

\”I don't know,\” Fang Erlan answered, thinking to herself that it was better that he didn't return.

\”If your cousin were to star in the television series, I really can't imagine what will happen…\”

\”If he stars in a television series, there'll be a certain role that suits him.\”

\”What?\”

\”The distant and aloof male character. That's really how he is in real life. He's really tyrannical too.\”

Just as they were speaking, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Yue hurriedly opened the door. As soon as she did, her eyes widened in shock and she exclaimed excitedly, \”Cousin, you're back!\”

\”Little lass, watch what you're saying. I'm not your cousin. Don't spout nonsense.\” He strode in and shifted his gaze onto Fang Erlan, who was sitting on the couch with the book in her hand.

\”Yes, yes, yes. You're not my cousin, you're Sis Erlan's cousin.\”

\”I have something to talk to Erlan about. If there's nothing important going on, will you leave us alone?\”

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Yue's fluttering heart shattered. I only managed to steal a few glances at him and yet I have to leave soon.

Xiao Chenyang waited for Xiao Yue to leave before sitting down on the couch once the door was closed. He held her in his arms and asked, \”Did you miss me?\”

\”No.\” Fang Erlan tried to struggle out of his embrace and continued, \”Stop getting all touchy with me. Good that you're back. There's something important that I need to tell you about.\”

\”You must have missed me too hard and lost your mind when I was away. Have you decided to marry me?\”

Fang Erlan placed the book onto the coffee table and turned to her side to look at him carefully. Completely disregarding his words, Fang Erlan said, \”Xiao Chenyang, I've already fallen in love with another man before you showed up in my life. I want to be in a relationship with the man I fancy, not a stranger like you who's forcing me to stay with them.\”

Her words were exactly Xiao Chenyang's greatest nightmare.

\”You said that there's someone that you fancy. Who is it?\”

\”It doesn't matter who he is. What matters is that I fancy him, not you. So please walk out of my life,\” said Fang Erlan, who finally told him the words that she had considered carefully before saying. She decided to be brave regardless of who he was and how invincible he may be, for she felt that he was wrong to have intruded on her life.

Staring at her with a tinge of coldness in his gaze, he questioned, \”How far have you progressed with him while I was away?\”

\”We progressed to… we did everything there is to be done, including what we shouldn't have.\”

Fang Erlan thought that he would give up once she exaggerated things. After all, he was an arrogant and prideful man who would not allow himself to show his weakness in front of her.

\”Did you sleep with him?\”

\”Yes, I did. That's why it's not worth wasting your efforts on me. Go and pursue your own happiness and stop disrupting my life.\”
