1090 Perplexed and Smitten 150 (2/2)

He stroked her hair and said, ”We have to face him sooner or later anyway. It's inevitable. What are you afraid of? Don't be. I'm here with you, aren't I?”

His words gave An Xiaoning a great deal of reassurance.

Now that she felt much more at ease, she stopped dwelling on the things that had yet to happen.

Fang Erlan and Xiao Chenyang arrived home before the others did.

It was twelve noon when they arrived in A City.

Their stomachs were rumbling when they exited the airport, for the food served on the plane was simply too unsatisfactory.

Since there was barely any food in the refrigerator at home, they decided to have lunch before heading home.

Just as they alighted from the taxi, Fang Erlan caught sight of Yan Ge, who was clad in a pair of shades and exiting the lobby together with Xiao Li.

Clearly, Yan Ge had also seen her.

Fang Erlan cocked her head toward the side quickly and said to Xiao Chenyang, ”There's not much food left at home. Let's go to the supermarket to get some.”

Xiao Chenyang had thought the same too. Thus, they walked to the supermarket together.

Yan Ge paused in his tracks for a short while before proceeding forward. He shifted his gaze onto the pair outside the supermarket.

”Brother, isn't that Ms. Fang?”

”I can see that.”

”Why did she leave right after she saw you? She didn't even say hi,” Xiao Li said in puzzlement.

Yan Ge brushed him off, ”Okay, you may go back first. I won't be going back to the agency today. I'll go tomorrow instead.”

Xiao Li had no idea why he decided to change his mind all of a sudden. However, he did not say anything and instead got inside the car and left.

Yan Ge turned around and walked back to the lobby.

Fang Erlan seemed extremely distracted when she was buying some groceries and constantly grabbed the wrong items. When Xiao Chenyang asked her what was wrong, she shook her head and refused to tell him.

The two of them headed back up with the bags of groceries.

As soon as Xiao Chenyang unlocked the door with the passcode, Fang Erlan heard the sounds of Yan Ge's door opening.

She made eye contact with him, and he said, ”There's something I have to talk to you about regarding work. Come in.”

”Give me a moment, I'll place the groceries inside the refrigerator.” She entered her apartment with the bag of groceries, filled with bewilderment.

Something about work?

The television series is currently in post-production and publicity hasn't started yet. What's there to talk about?

After putting down the groceries, Fang Erlan informed Xiao Chenyang about it and went to the unit opposite.

Yan Ge left the door to his apartment ajar on purpose. Fang Erlan entered, changed out of her shoes, and closed the door.

He was sitting on the couch with one leg crossed over the other. On the table was a cup of green tea that was still piping hot.

Fang Erlan sat down opposite him and asked, ”What do you have to talk to me about…?”

”I've agreed to star in 'The Man from the Ancient Times.'”

Fang Erlan glared at him in shock and exclaimed, ”What?”

”The director spoke to me about it personally. I was pleased with the script so I decided to take it on. It's only right that I talk to you, the female lead, about it. Isn't it?”

Fang Erlan immediately recalled the incident about her role being snatched away.

Did Yu Caiwei snatch the role away from me, precisely because Yan Ge has agreed to star in it?

”When did you agree?”
