1187 I Want to Make You Stay 65 (1/2)

”Just where are we going? Give me a hint,” Fang Erlan asked curiously.

”No, we'll be there soon. Just know that it's a good place.”

Seeing how secretive he was being, Fang Erlan smiled and said, ”Alright, when we get there later, I must take a good look at how beautiful the place is.”

”You'll know when we're there.”

”Hello, hello, you have a text message!”

Fang Erlan retracted her hand from his and opened her wallet to take out her mobile phone.

Her mobile screen lit up, and she saw that it was an unread message from Mrs. Fang.

Mr. and Mrs. Fang would only ever contact her via a phone call and never by text message.

Unless it was her brother…

She opened the text message to see that it was really from him.

”Sis, it's me, Yunxi. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th of August, which is also my birthday. Will you be coming home?”

Fang Erlan replied, ”I'm busy with work and I don't have time to go home. Happy Birthday in advance.”

”Are you just going to wish me… Sis, aren't you going to give me a present?”

Fang Erlan replied briefly, ”I'll make it up to you when we meet again in the future.”

”Got it.”

Fang Erlan shut off her mobile phone and placed it inside her bag. Yan Ge asked, ”Who sent you a text message?”

”My brother.”

”How old is your brother? I've never heard you talking about him before.”

”His birthday is coming soon, and he'll be turning eighteen this year. We didn't grow up together and I'm not very close to him. We don't share many memories either, so there's nothing much for us to talk about. Simply put, I'm not close to my family at all, except my grandmother. They live in the city and they rarely go home, so I don't see him.”

”They're still your family anyway. You're related to them by blood.”

”No. I didn't say that I wasn't going to support my parents through their retirement. After all, they were the ones who gave birth to me. I ought to do what's within my duty. I can't force myself to be harsh,” said Fang Erlan.

”If we get married in the future and my mother is still prejudiced against you, will you be nice to her?”

Fang Erlan gazed at him and asked, ”Do you want to hear the truth?”

”Yes.”

”If your mother stops being prejudiced against me before we get married, I'll still be kind and nice to her. I'll be polite even if she doesn't like me. However, if she still holds grudges against me and says callous things to me, I'll just pretend that she doesn't exist. I won't argue with her. However, if she keeps insulting me, I'll have no choice but to avoid her or ignore her.”

”My mother is definitely not an unreasonable person. She'll only be prejudiced against you temporarily. I believe she'll change her opinion of you once she gets to know you better.”

”I really don't know if she will,” said Fang Erlan, who felt that Mrs. Yan would never change her opinion of her.

It would be hard to change someone's opinions of you once they've been formed.

”But you still have me, don't you? It'll be alright,” he said, smiling.

The car proceeded along the quiet roads toward the outskirts of B City.

Although she had already been filming in B City for a significant period of time, Fang Erlan was not familiar with the city at all.

Usually, she would either be at the hotel or the filming location.

There was no chance for her to explore other areas in B City at all.

They arrived at a porch in the suburbs of B City. Fang Erlan alighted and stared wide-eyed at the scenery before her. ”Where is this?”
