1103 Perplexed and Smitten 163 (1/2)
It was practically impossible to hail a taxi at this time and place.
To make things worse, she did not have her mobile phone or wallet with her.
Yan Ge thought that there was no way she could go back without him.
However, he had underestimated the amount of fear Fang Erlan had toward Xiao Chenyang.
Fang Erlan felt that even a thousand Yan Ges could not hinder Xiao Chenyang from doing what he wanted.
She did fancy Yan Ge, but she did not want to get him and herself into trouble because of it.
”Okay.” She walked back inside the apartment in a bid to leave.
Yan Ge stepped forward to stop her. ”Do you know how far Qingyuan Estate is from here!?!”
”I want to go back.”
Seeing that she was bent on going home, he decided to give in. ”Let's go together,” he said, seemingly having considered her words carefully.
They were both dead silent on the journey back, just like before.
When they arrived in Qingyuan Estate, they caught sight of a figure from afar even before pulling over.
Fang Erlan was frightened out of her wits the moment she saw Xiao Chenyang.
As soon as the car stopped, she immediately alighted and sprinted toward Xiao Chenyang. She chuckled wryly and asked, ”Why have you come down? Is the movie over?”
Xiao Chenyang seemed to have sensed something unusual from the forced laughter that she had let out. He turned around and entered the lobby without uttering another word.
Fang Erlan hurriedly chased after him, not turning back once to look at Yan Ge.
Fang Erlan was filled with uncertainty the moment she realized that he was still refusing to speak even after they had entered the apartment. ”Um, Xiao Chenyang, why aren't you saying anything?” she asked.
”I'll buy a mobile phone tomorrow.”
Fang Erlan initially thought that he would hit the roof and interrogate her about her absence. She could not get used to Xiao Chenyang being so calm all of a sudden.

The sky had been gloomy ever since morning.
”According to the weather forecast, it'll be drizzling in A City today and pouring heavily in B City. Hence, I've already prepared some umbrellas and raincoats that I had left inside the car.”
”How's No. 8?”
”His recovery is going well. He's been putting himself on the drip daily at the clinic in the estate. Ms. Mo has also quit her job at the bar to focus on taking care of No. 8. I'm such a jealous loner.”
”I'm envious of him too.”
No. 5 gaped and looked at Fan Shixin, who was in the passenger's seat. ”Chief Fan, stop agitating me any further. We all know that Mr. Jin has organized a mass recruitment for you to find a girlfriend, and more than 80 thousand women have signed up. I bet all of those women who have signed up did so because they're lusting for your handsome good looks and your attributes. It won't hurt to let me have eight out of those 80 thousand candidates you have.”
”Some of the people who have signed up didn't do so out of their own accord. Their parents are the ones who have signed up on their behalf.”
”Their parents? How did you know?” No. 5 asked.
”Isn't that obvious? It can't be that all of them had signed up out of their own accord.”
”Sis, what's going to happen to Chief's blind dates now that he's going to B City with us?”
An Xiaoning answered, ”Since those people have signed up, they're definitely not going to get a boyfriend any time soon. We'll just let Shixin take some time out of his schedule to meet some women in B City. He met the ones in A City yesterday. If he meets the right one, distance won't be a problem.”
”You have a point. Chief, all the best.”
Fan Shixin leaned against the seat with a deadpan expression on his face.
To be exact, he was not in the least bit interested in matchmaking at all; neither did he want to go on blind dates.
However, the sign-ups are still open. Wouldn't he be making a fool out of those single ladies if he were to bail on them?
