1245 I Want to Make You Stay 123 (1/2)
Jin Qingyan analyzed, ”But he's entirely capable of killing the person who had harmed and set him up back then. Why did he have to ask for your help?”
An Xiaoning answered without hesitation, ”To clear his name, of course. If he were to just kill the person who harmed him, he wouldn't gain anything else apart from being able to vent all his anger and hatred toward the man. Nothing else can be changed. This is his ultimate agenda. He laid a trap for me and lured me inside, so as to make use of me to clear his name. He then put on this show to appear convincing. What a seamless plan he has devised.”
An icy cold gaze formed in Jin Qingyan's eyes and he remarked, ”He's devised a great plan.”
”We shall beat him at his own game.”
”What do you plan to do, then?”
An Xiaoning blinked at him and said, ”I have my own plans.”
He smiled and rubbed his finger against her nose. ”It's very likely that he had fed you with lots of lies too. You must be very careful when handling this.”
”That goes without saying. Rest assured, I'll come up with a seamless plan to deal with him.”
”Yes, I absolutely have faith in you. I believe you'll handle it well.”

Fang Erlan was secretly discharged from the hospital and moved to the mansion in the suburbs of B City.
Ever since she moved in, Xiao Chenyang had ordered for all other guests to be forbidden from checking in.
Fang Erlan really enjoyed staying there during her recovery period. Xiao Yue and the chauffeur had moved in with her too.
On the surface, Fang Erlan and Xiao Chenyang occupied separate rooms. However, in reality, he would sneak into her room every night.
Even the dimwitted Xiao Yue could smell a rat.
Recalling Xiao Chenyang's actions, Xiao Yue further confirmed her speculations.
Hence, when Xiao Chenyang headed to the bathroom after breakfast, Xiao Yue took the chance to bombard Fang Erlan with her question, ”Sis Erlan, did you already begin dating Cousin a long time ago?”
Well aware that Xiao Yue carried a torch for Xiao Chenyang, Fang Erlan hesitated before asking, ”Um, Xiao Yue… did you discover something?”
After some thought, Xiao Yue answered, ”I know that Cousin really fancies you.”
Fang Erlan did not wish to hide the truth from her. After all, Xiao Yue was her personal assistant who followed her everywhere she went. She also knew that Xiao Yue wouldn't spread it to outsiders.
However, it was impossible to tell her about their previous lifetime.
”I got together with him after I broke up with Senior Yan Ge.”
Trying to force herself to smile, Xiao Yue said, ”Actually, I've already guessed it. You guys just didn't tell me yet. Sis Erlan, Cousin must be head-over-heels in love with you. He simply can't take his eyes off of you. I can tell that he really dotes on you, and it was only a matter of time before you'd fall for him.”
”Xiao Yue… I know you have a crush on him…”
”Sis Erlan, from now onwards, I'll only see him as my brother-in-law. So, it's okay, don't worry about me. I know that Cousin will never be interested in someone like me anyway. I'm not that thick-skinned or oblivious. Sis Erlan, you truly have my blessings, and I wish you and Cousin conjugal bliss.”
Fang Erlan held her hand and said, ”Thank you, Xiao Yue.”
Xiao Yue smiled and said, ”Sis Erlan, my one-sided relationship has finally come to an end. I must have a delectable feast this afternoon to make up for the emotional trauma I've suffered.”
”Sure, your cravings will be satisfied.”
Xiao Chenyang exited from the washroom to see that they were smiling at each other. ”What are you guys smiling about?” he asked.
”Xiao Yue wants to eat some tasty food for lunch and I agreed to satisfy her desires. Shall we go out for a feast in the afternoon?”
”Xiao Yue? I think you're the one who wants to feast. Am I right?” said Xiao Chenyang, who exposed her relentlessly.
