1134 I Want to Make You Stay 12 (1/2)
However, she never expected for her fate from her previous lifetime to carry over to her current one.
She no longer wanted to kill or harm anyone in this lifetime, and neither did she want to use her paranormal powers and skills to commit any evil acts, especially not to Xihou Ling and Hua Jin. However, do I still have the ability to protect myself, my family, and the descendants of the Yin family?
Do I still have a choice?
If Hua Jin finds out that I'm the reincarnation of Yin Cun, she and Xihou Ling would definitely kill me, wouldn't they?
Yu Yiwei rested her arm on her forehead and closed her eyes while she sank deep into thought.

The incident that Fang Erlan was involved in had become a huge taboo within the production unit. All the crew members who were present at the time of the incident were made to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If they were to breach the terms of the agreement and divulge any details, they would have to pay a hefty compensatory sum.
Due to the fact that Yan Ge was filming another scene in a different filming location, the crew members who were working on the set on Yan Ge's side had no idea about what happened.
Fang Erlan was in low spirits and thus headed back to her hotel room after filming the scene.
Xiao Yue delivered the food to Fang Erlan's room. Noticing that she did not seem to have much of an appetite, Xiao Yue tried to talk her round, ”Sis Erlan, eat more.”
”I don't have much of an appetite,” she said sluggishly.
”Shall we go out for a walk after you're done eating, then?”
”I don't feel like moving, I'm aching all over.” She put down the chopsticks and stood up with one hand supporting her back. ”I'll go brush my teeth. You may finish the rest of the food.”
After washing up, Fang Erlan lay down on the bed while Xiao Yue cleaned up the mess. She then poured Fang Erlan a glass of water and left it on the table beside the bed before leaving.
The lights were still on in the room, and Fang Erlan stared at a corner while lying stiffly on the bed.
The doorbell rang all of a sudden.
”Who's there?”
”It's me,” Yan Ge answered.
Fang Erlan immediately got out of bed and opened the door. Staring at the bodyguard outside the door, she asked in bewilderment, ”Why haven't you gone back to your room to rest yet?”
”Young Madam wanted us to take turns to be on duty.”
She then looked at Yan Ge and asked, ”What brings you here?”
She was staring at him with fear and worry in her eyes. In fact, she was trying to say, ”What if we get caught?”
However, Yan Ge understood just what she was worried about.
”I need to talk to you about something, may I go in?”
”Come inside.” She moved aside to allow him to enter. As soon as she closed the door, Yan Ge hugged her tightly in his arms, causing her to feel like she was about to suffocate.
”Why didn't you call and tell me about it? I'm your boyfriend and yet you didn't even tell me that something had happened to you. Do you take me as an outsider?” he questioned, sounding a little peeved.
Fang Erlan teared up after hearing his words. ”No… I just didn't want you to be embroiled in this matter. There are so many paparazzi who are waiting to dig up some news about you. If you end up causing a stir in the production unit because of me, your reputation will be tarnished. That's why I didn't want to tell you about it. But how did you find out?”
He walked inside while still holding her in his arms. He then sat down on the bed and said, ”No one told me. I just overheard some people discussing it softly. That's why I went to question Director Gao about it.”
”I see. This matter has already been settled. Director Gao has also increased my salary to 300 thousand dollars per episode as a form of compensation. That's 100 thousand dollars extra for each episode.”
”Money is not everything. Can an increment of 100 thousand dollars per episode really make up for the pain that you suffered while being whipped?” he said with a sullen expression.
”However, that's the best solution for the problem. Go back and get some rest. I'm afraid that the paparazzi are going to make mountains out of molehills when they photograph you leaving my room after staying in here for a long time.”
”I don't want to leave.”
Fang Erlan held onto his hand and said, ”Go back, we'll be in trouble if we make it onto the tabloids.”
He kissed her and stood up before saying, ”Go get some rest, then. I'll send you breakfast tomorrow morning.”
”Don't… if you deliver breakfast to my room, wouldn't…?” she declined.
”I'll get Xiao Li to deliver it to you, then.”
