1175 I Want to Make You Stay 53 (1/2)
”You really don't have to void the bill. You may go out. I can't waste the food. I'll wait for him here.”
”Alright, I'm really sorry.”
”It's alright.”
The manager exited, leaving Fang Erlan alone in the room.
She shifted her gaze onto the spot the waitress had been standing on, only to discover that there were still a few drops of fresh blood on the ground.
The mere few drops of blood seemed like a pool of blood to Fang Erlan.
She felt as if the entire ground had been stained crimson.
She felt a sudden fear and panic that arose from within.
If the waitress could threaten to kill herself because of Yan Ge today, someone else might just try and kill me another day.
It suddenly dawned upon her that it was a foolish decision to instruct Xiao Chenyang not to deploy the bodyguards.
She picked up her chopsticks again with trembling hands. The food began to taste bland and horrid all of a sudden.
However, her stomach was rumbling and she was famished. Thus, she wolfed the food down quickly and watered it down with some tea. She finally felt much less afraid and anxious.
Why…
Why don't I feel joy and bliss after announcing our relationship status? Why do I feel oppressed and intimidated instead?
This was not what she wanted at all.
”Ms. Fang,” greeted another waitress, who opened the door abruptly.
Greatly taken aback, Fang Erlan sprung up from her seat. ”What's the matter?” she asked, feeling extremely stressed.
”Our manager wanted me to ask you if there are any more dishes that you'd like to eat. They'll be on the house as well.”
”No, thank you,” she answered, keeping her guard high up, for fear that the waitress would harm her.
”Alright.” The waitress closed the door again.
After recovering from the shock, she whipped her mobile phone out to call Yan Ge. He picked up soon after.
”Where are you now? Is she alright?”
”I'm on my way back. She's fine. Go ahead and eat. I'll be there soon.”
”Alright.” Fang Erlan put down her mobile phone.
As expected, he returned not long after.
Fang Erlan hugged him and said, ”I'm sorry.”
”Why are you apologizing?”
”It's all my fault for agitating your fan.”
Yan Ge sat down while holding her in his embrace. He said, ”It's my personal choice to date you. They tend to get easily confused and blur the lines between my onscreen characters and my private life. Did you get a huge fright tonight?”
”It wasn't too bad.”
”Have you eaten?”
”Yes, I have. Hurry and eat, the food is getting cold.”
He picked up the chopsticks and began eating unhurriedly. He finally popped the question that he had been pondering over. ”Erlan, do you think it'd be too soon for us to get married right now?”
Fang Erlan stared at him, at a sudden loss for words. ”Married?”
”Yes. Actually, I don't feel secure at all even though we're dating each other. I'm afraid that someone else will snatch you away. Let's get married.”
She could not help but recall what Xiao Chenyang had said to her in G City, wherein he forbid her from marrying someone else.
It would seem they had to face yet another obstacle.
”Xiao Chenyang said… that he's not going to allow us to get married.”
Yan Ge paused in his actions and put his chopsticks down. Staring at her earnestly, he asked, ”Would you want to marry me? I just want to hear your answer. Will you marry me?”
His intense gaze made her feel compelled to answer him. She thought that she would want to marry him because she was incredibly fond of him.
