1245 I Want to Make You Stay 123 (2/2)
Fang Erlan admitted, ”Yes, I'm so sick of drinking soup every day. I protest. I don't want to drink soup anymore, I want to feast!”
”Okay, we'll have a feast for lunch this afternoon. You guys may eat to your hearts' content.”
Joy was written all over Fang Erlan's face. Her eyes lit up and she asked, ”Really?”
”Yes.”
Xiao Yue chirped gleefully, ”Terrific, Cousin, you've finally decided to be benevolent and cut Sis Erlan some slack. All Sis Erlan has been eating every day are eggs and soup. She's going to throw up if you feed her any more of those tasteless food.”
”It's all for her own good.” He handed Fang Erlan a cup of water for her to rinse her mouth with. ”You must nourish your body and replenish all the blood that you had lost. Your wound is not going to heal in a few days. You must spend more time recuperating. Nothing matters more than your health.”
Fang Erlan could tell how serious he was.
Seemingly having sensed his determination to protect her, Fang Erlan smiled widely and nodded abidingly. ”Okay. I'll listen to you and adhere to your arrangements.”
Xiao Yue gasped in shock and remarked, ”Sis Erlan, I've never seen you being so meek and compliant before.”
Fang Erlan pursed her lips and said, ”That's what happens to women once they're in love.”
Upon discovering that Fang Erlan had revealed their relationship to Xiao Yue, Xiao Chenyang warned Xiao Yue, ”You'd better not spill the beans. If not…” He pointed his finger at her as if it were a gun and continued, ”I'll…”
Before he could even finish, Xiao Yue frantically exclaimed, ”Rest assured, Cousin, my lips are sealed!”
”Okay, I trust you.”
Xiao Yue chuckled. Staring at the man of her dreams who was untouchable, she could not help but envy Fang Erlan.
”Cousin, Sis Erlan, I'm going back to my room to take a nap. Call me when it's time for lunch.”
”Got it, go ahead.”
”Hello, hello, you have a text message!”
Fang Erlan grabbed her mobile phone to see that it was a text from Director Gao, who was asking about her injury and about when she can resume filming.
After taking a glance at the content of the message, Xiao Chenyang said, ”Tell her that we don't know when you'll fully recover and that you'll resume work once your wound is completely healed.”
”How about next week? I should be fine by then. The season is perfect for filming this television series. If we postpone it any further, it's going to be Autumn. What if we can't finish filming by then…?” said Fang Erlan, who did not wish to cause any delay in the production. Noticing the sullen expression on his face, she added, ”I really want to finish filming as soon as possible. Once I'm done, I'll be able to spend time with you properly.”
Staring at her glistening eyes, Xiao Chenyang said, ”Don't force yourself to do it if you can't. If you still can't manage to get back to work by next week, just turn her down.”
”Okay.”
Unable to contain his joy that was derived from her obedience, he kissed her and asked, ”Do you want to go out for a walk?”
”Yes.”
”Do you want to bring some snacks along?”
”Yes.”
”What else do you want?”
Fang Erlan answered, ”I want you.”
Xiao Chenyang smiled and said, ”Your wish is my command.”
