“So what if you won’t? Do you think that I can’t make you become an internationally-wanted criminal just by making a report to the higher-ups right now? It’ll be difficult for you to even survive, let alone take revenge. I’m not undermining or belittling you, but I suggest you wake up from your idea. We’re no longer who we were sixteen years ago. Are you still living in that time?”
Zong Jingyi glared at her and gibed, “Do you really think I’ll come and look you up unprepared?”
“Who would bother helping you? With that pathetic family background of yours, you can’t possibly have any esteemed family members who are politicians, can you?” said Mrs. Mu, who did not believe him at all.
“An Xiaoning.”
Mrs. Mu guffawed and sneered, “Who? An Xiaoning? Do you really think she’ll help you? On what grounds would she do that? Can you even benefit her in any way?”
“I can’t bring about any benefits to her because I have nothing to my name now. All I have left is my life. I’ve already sold my life to her.”
Mrs. Mu retorted vehemently, “As if I’d believe you. An Xiaoning has everything she needs, why would she want your life? Your life is worth nothing!”
As soon as she finished speaking, he slammed the table and sprung up from his seat.
Mrs. Mu cringed in shock and asked, “What are you trying to do?”
“Would you like to verify if I’m speaking the truth?”
“S... sure.”
He immediately called An Xiaoning and put her on speaker.
Mrs. Mu was frightened out of her senses the moment she heard An Xiaoning admit that Zong Jingyi belonged to her.
As soon as the call ended, Zong Jingyi said, “So, if you want to keep your life, you’d better tell me everything you know about that incident. I want nothing but the truth. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you’ll live to see tomorrow.”
Mrs. Mu stared at him and agreed reluctantly, “Okay...”

Fang Erlan finally returned to work.
Although she had to cut back on filming because of her wound that had yet to heal completely, Director Gao was more than happy to have her back.
While Fang Erlan was busy filming her scenes, Yu Caiwei strolled toward Xiao Chenyang casually and remarked, “Why do I have a hunch that there’s something wrong with you?”
“What’s wrong with me?” Xiao Chenyang retorted, keeping his eyes fixed on Fang Erlan instead of looking at Yu Caiwei.
“It’s too obvious. Everyone in the production unit is aware that you’re fond of Fang Erlan. Look how brazen you are with admiring her. Even the blind can see that you only have eyes for her.”
“My eyes belong to me. It’s up to me to decide who I want to look at. Besides, who I fancy is my business. No one is to interfere or poke their nose in.”
“Does that mean you’ve admitted to having feelings for her? ”
Xiao Chenyang stared at her and quipped, “How does that concern you?”
“It doesn’t... but do you really think it’s appropriate to harbor such feelings for someone else’s girlfriend?”
“I know better than you whether or not she’s someone else’s girlfriend.”
Yu Caiwei squinted and asked, “What... do you mean?”
“It’s none of your business. Stop being such a gossipmonger. Mind your own business.”
“Why do I feel like... you meant something more?”
Xiao Chenyang looked up and chided, “Can you shut up?”
Yu Caiwei retorted with a wry smile, “Why so serious? I was just trying to have a chat with you.”
“I don’t wish to chat with you or listen to what you have to say, so you may leave now.”
After having her ego bruised, Yu Caiwei stormed off in a huff without uttering another word, despite feeling extremely peeved.
Fang Erlan scurried toward him after filming her scenes. She glanced at Yu Caiwei and asked him softly, “What did she say to you?”
“Nothing much.”
“Are you sure? I saw her mouth moving continuously just now. Just what did she say to you?” she probed.
Noticing how curious she was, Xiao Chenyang chuckled and said, “You really want to know?”
“Yes.”
“Kiss me.”
“Right here? There are people everywhere,” said Fang Erlan, who felt like he was putting her in a spot on purpose.
“That’s exactly why I want you to kiss me.” Xiao Chenyang added softly, “That’s what makes it... thrilling. Am I right?”
Fang Erlan teased coquettishly, “You’re so naughty.”
Xiao Chenyang stared at her intently and said, “Do you dare to kiss me...? It doesn’t have to be on the lips. You can kiss my face too, or my forehead, my ears and my hands...”
Fang Erlan held his gaze while her heart beat rapidly. She scanned her surroundings to see that there were lots of crew members and fellow colleagues around. He must think that I don’t have the guts to do it, huh?
Hmph.
Fang Erlan cleared her throat and said loudly, “I have something private that I’ll need you to help me settle.”
“What is it?”
She bent forward and inched closer toward his ear. She then covered it with her hand as if she were whispering to him, after which she planted a kiss on his earlobe.
She then stood up calmly and looked around again to check if anyone had been looking. To her relief, no one was staring at her. She looked at him with a smile and asked, “How was it?”
“Marvelous,” he answered, sticking his thumb up.
“So, can you tell me now?” Fang Erlan asked with a smug smirk hanging from her lips.
“We’ll talk in the nanny van.” He then chucked his hands inside the pockets of his windbreaker and took the lead.
He had bought the windbreaker during a shopping trip with Fang Erlan. She thought that it suited him very well and, hence, he bought it straight away.
Fang Erlan walked behind him and admired his suave figure in awe, feeling overjoyed.
They got inside the nanny van one after another. She closed the door and said, “Go ahead and tell me.”
He gave her a summary of everything that Yu Caiwei had said. “She said that she could tell that I’m fond of you and that I had indirectly admitted to it since I didn’t deny it. She also said that it was inappropriate of me to be harboring designs on someone else’s girlfriend.”
“How... did you answer her, then?”
“I said that I know clearly whether or not you’re someone else’s girlfriend.”
Fang Erlan chided, “How could you say that? Forget it, just don’t say such things again. Once the television series ends, I’ll announce it openly. Before that, you must bear with it. You hear?”
“Okay...” He subconsciously placed his hand on her thigh and said, “I can’t bear with my urges right now. What do I do?”
“You must force yourself to bear with it even if you can’t. I still have to get back to filming in ten minutes.”
Just as she was about to alight, he pulled her toward him and said, “Ten minutes is better than nothing.”
COMMENT
Fang Erlan wished she could just beat him to death. “Ten minutes is barely enough for foreplay. No, I have to alight now.”
Although the windows of the nanny van were tinted, he decided to draw the curtains nonetheless.
He kissed Fang Erlan’s lips deeply and tried to unzip her shirt, only to be stopped by her.
She moved away from him and chided, “I told you we don’t have enough time.”
“Trust me when I say that it’s enough.”
“You...” As soon as she spoke, he moved his tongue into her mouth forcefully, causing her to quiver in pleasure.
