1097 Perplexed and Smitten 157 (2/2)

”Oh.” She went around the front of the car and got onto the front passenger seat, fastening her safety belt thereafter.

When the car drove out of Qingyuan Estate, it just happened to go past Yan Ge's car, which was entering the estate.

For some reason, although she knew that Yan Ge wasn't the one driving the car, she still could not help but turn her face to the car window. Only then would she not be spotted by Yan Ge.

In reality, Yan Ge truly had not spotted her.

Xiao Chenyang did not notice this movement of hers, and he concentrated on driving.

After being stuck in traffic on the streets for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the museum.

When the car was pulling over at the entrance of the museum, Fang Erlan stretched her head out to look and asked him, ”There's no new exhibition today, why did you bring me here?”

”Must there be a new exhibition for one to come here?” His throat moved a little, and it appeared as if he was hesitating to say what he had on his mind. ”Get off.”

”Is it alright to park the car here? Do you want to park the car further inside?”

”No need for that.”

Hearing him say this, Fang Erlan had no choice but to sling her bag over her shoulder and alight from the car.

Since no one recognized her anyway, she entered the museum together with him openly.

This was her second time visiting this place.

As compared to the previous time when it was bustling with people, it was much less crowded this time.

”There was an exhibition last time. Xiao Yue and I came to see that female corpse that has been preserved for centuries. Do you know about that?”

”Yes.”

As she spoke about this, Fang Erlan was still impressed by it and exclaimed, ”The woman has been dead for so many years. I wonder how they preserved her corpse. It didn't have any sign of decomposition or smell at all. It was as if the woman had just fallen asleep. I was completely astonished!”

”Usually, keeping a corpse well maintained for so long would have been achieved by both the external and internal environments working together. The environment where the corpse is placed has to be ideal; meanwhile, there has to be a chemical placed in the corpse to also prevent it from decomposing. That's how it can be maintained for such a long time.”

”It goes to show that those who buried the corpse had paid a lot of attention.” Fang Erlan complimented, ”I'm afraid that in today's society, corpses can't be preserved as well as that corpse had been preserved. But the ancient people actually achieved it.”

Two staff members in the museum went forward to greet, ”May I know if you're Mr. Xiao?”

”Yes, I am.”

”You may now take it away with you.”

”Okay.”

Fang Erlan was perplexed. Take away? What was he taking away?

She then followed Xiao Chenyang further inside the museum, where the staff members brought them before a glass coffin.

Fang Erlan gazed at the female corpse inside the coffin that had been preserved for centuries and asked Xiao Chenyang in alarm, ”Don't tell me, you're taking this corpse away?”

”Yes, indeed.”

Fang Erlan felt like she could not catch her breath and was at a loss for words. She knew that he was an unusual person who did many perplexing things. It might have had something to do with how ridiculous a person he was. But, at this point, there was a question that was burning within her! What on earth was he taking a corpse back for?! To make it his wife?

Was this what a normal person would do?

”Why? Tell me the reason.”

He did not answer and fixed his warm gaze at the corpse inside the coffin. He watched as the staff members placed the petite body inside a specially-made coffin, then carried it away.

Fang Erlan and Xiao Chenyang followed the staff members and went out through the entrance of the museum.

When they stood before the door of his car, Xiao Chenyang ignored Fang Erlan's exclamations and opened the car door, taking the female corpse out of the coffin and placing it at the front passenger seat.

That's right, he had placed it at the front passenger seat.

”Where do I sit?” Fang Erlan asked.

As this car was a two-seater, there was only a small storage area behind the front seats. However, there wasn't much room, and the area was about half the size of one front seat. She contemplated to herself: Since Xiao Chenyang had placed the female corpse at the front passenger seat, was he going to make her squeeze at the back?
