1161 I Want to Make You Stay 39 (1/2)

”How revolting. Don't you ever take a look in the mirror? Don't you know how ugly you are? Get lost!”

”You're hideous. Seriously, can you at least go under the knife? Do you have any self-awareness at all?”

”You're just a minor actress who's a nobody in the showbiz industry. How dare you have the cheek to get yourself involved with my Yan Ge? Are your brains fried? I can't believe you even announced your relationship yourself. If you're so eager, why don't you just implode and die?”

”What a retard. I can't believe Yan Ge is dating a woman like you. I suddenly realized that all of Yan Ge's rumored girlfriends from the past are a million times prettier than the swine that you are! Just what kind of a horrible crossbreed are you?”

…

Fang Erlan's spirits were instantly dampened by the endless string of malicious comments.

Her mobile phone was snatched away.

”Stop reading them,” said Xiao Chenyang, who exited the Weibo page on her mobile phone.

Fang Erlan stared out of the window quietly.

The scenes were to be filmed in the evening. Thus, upon arriving at the location, everyone proceeded to get some rest in the resting room before filming was to begin for the day.

Since their relationship had already been exposed, Yan Ge no longer had to keep it clandestine.

He had lots to say to Fang Erlan. Thus, he pulled Fang Erlan away to a corner in plain sight.

Xiao Yue stood beside Xiao Chenyang. Although she knew that Xiao Chenyang was not Fang Erlan's cousin, she could not kick her habit of calling him ”Cousin.” She asked, ”Cousin, when did they begin dating each other?”

”You're around her every day and yet you have no idea. What makes you think I would be aware?”

Noticing that he was walking away, Xiao Yue asked, ”Cousin, where are you going?”

He did not answer her and left straight away.

Yan Ge brought Fang Erlan to the room next door and asked, ”Who do you think had hacked your account?”

”It must be someone from the production unit. It's very likely to be Co-director Li. However, I'm not a hundred percent sure. Regardless of who it may be, we'll just have to take it in our stride.”

Noticing that she seemed to be in low spirits, he grabbed her hand and said, ”Don't bother reading those comments on Weibo. They're all just a bunch of keyboard warriors. Don't be affected by their words. They don't understand what kind of person you are at all, so you mustn't listen to what they say.”

”I know.” She shook her head and continued, ”I'm alright, it's not the first time that this has happened anyway. I've gotten used to being castigated.”

”Actually, it's a blessing in disguise. We'll no longer have to hide our relationship from now on. On the bright side, we can date each other openly. Think positive,” Yan Ge said in a tender voice.

Fang Erlan looked up at him. She completely agreed with what he had said about it being a blessing in disguise. Isn't it great that we no longer have to hide from the paparazzi and can now date openly?

But why is that I can't seem to feel happy about it at all?

Long Xiaoxi tiptoed toward Jin Yiheng's bedroom and pushed the door open gently. She peeked inside to see that Jin Yiheng was still taking an afternoon nap.

She entered without hesitation.

She walked toward his bed and placed the drawing that she was holding beside his bed. She then climbed onto the bed and bent forward to kiss Jin Yiheng. However, she was too rough with the kiss and woke him up.

”Xiaoxi…”

Feeling embarrassed about being exposed, Long Xiaoxi turned red immediately and got out of bed swiftly. Pointing at the drawing, she said, ”This is the birthday present that I had made for you.”

She then skipped out of the room merrily.

Jin Yiheng rubbed his eyes and sat up straight. He picked up the painting to see that it was an illustration of a boy and a girl who resembled himself and Long Xiaoxi, respectively. However, her sketch was true to her appearance and she did appear as round as she did in real life. Although it was a simple drawing, he could tell that she had put in a great ton of effort into drawing it.

She had even scribbled some words on the side — ”Yiheng, Happy Birthday.”

After staring at the drawing for a long while, he folded it neatly and stowed it away in the drawer of his desk.

He got out of bed and tiptoed toward his parents' bedroom.

Upon the sight of Jin Qingyan leaning against the bed and reading a book by himself, Jin Yiheng entered and said, ”Daddy, you didn't give me any presents for my birthday. Even Xiaoxi gave me a present.”
