Wu Pingyang sneered, “It may be a little inappropriate to say this, but I think you’ve got quite a poor taste in men. Mr. Fan is tall, handsome, and capable. On top of that, he’s even Jin Qingyan’s able a.s.sistant. He’s so much better than your boyfriend, Cousin. How could you tell him that you already have a boyfriend? But then again, Fan s.h.i.+xin might not be interested in you even if you told him that you were single.”


The matter never failed to get the elderly Mr. Mu riled up. He gibed, “Just ignore her, her brains are fried. She actually landed herself such a penniless boyfriend. What can he even do for the Mu family? Yet you’re still whining about wanting to get married. Wansheng, I’m just going to make things clear beforehand. If you insist on marrying him, you’re not going to get a single cent for your dowry!”


Mu Wansheng remained standing and kept her eyes fixed on the ground. She said confidently, “I’m not planning to have the Mu family prepare my dowry.”


“You… I really don’t wish to see you at all, hurry and scram!”


“Yes.” She turned around and walked out of the door. As soon as she exited, Mu Wansheng’s mother hurriedly chased after her and stopped her when she was outside. “What are you trying to do?”


“Mother, don’t you know clearly what I want to do?”


Mrs. Mu gave her a tight slap and reprimanded her, “You shameful wretch! If you hadn’t messed everything up during the blind date that day, Fan s.h.i.+xin might have really taken an interest in you. People used to always say that you can’t hold a candle to Pingyang, but I refused to believe that. I wondered, just how are you any worse than her? However, I’ve truly understood now that your taste in men and your brains are nowhere comparable to hers!”


“I just want to be with the person I truly fancy. What’s wrong with that? Why do I have to go on a blind date when I already have a boyfriend? Wouldn’t I be conning him that way?”


“I told you to break up with that pauper long ago, why didn’t you do it?”


“I don’t want to break up with him… Mother, he’s very hardworking. He’s already set up a business and a company of his own. He’s not going to be too inferior.”


“Fine, I’m was.h.i.+ng my hands off of your business. Do whatever you want, but you’d better not regret it! Just like your grandfather had mentioned, if you insist on being stubborn, the Mu family is not going to give you a single cent for your dowry.”


“Mother, you still haven’t told me clearly if he’s my grandfather or my father.”


Mrs. Mu looked at her before walking away, completely ignoring her.


Mu Wansheng stood rooted to the ground like a statue.



There was a kissing scene to be filmed today.


Fang Erlan had already informed Xiao Chenyang about it yesterday.


Fang Erlan thought that the kissing scene would definitely be filmed, since Xiao Chenyang did not raise any objections last night.


The director wouldn’t allow them to stage-kiss anyway.


Yet, at this juncture, Director Gao said to them, “You two shall stage-kiss during the scene later.”


Both Yan Ge and Fang Erlan were dumbfounded.


“Sis Gao, didn’t you tell me yesterday that we’re not allowed to stage-kiss? Why have you changed your mind again?”


“From now on, we’ll stage every kiss in this television series. You guys, get ready, the camera is about to start rolling,” Director Gao said without stating the reason.


Fang Erlan and Yan Ge looked at each other, after which Yan Ge immediately speculated, “He must be the one who had done that. Otherwise, why would the resolute Sis Gao change her mind all of a sudden?”


Fang Erlan had no idea if that was the case.


“I don’t know…”


“We’ll just stage the kiss, then…” said Yan Ge.


Xiao Chenyang sat on a chair with one leg crossed over the other while peeling an orange slowly. Of course he didn’t have to step in personally to make them stage-kiss. All he had to do was to get Fang Erlan’s studio to contact Director Gao. How simple.


When they returned from filming, Yan Ge noticed that Xiao Chenyang was sitting on Fang Erlan’s seat and did not show any signs of getting up. He then said to Fang Erlan, “Is your bodyguard always so oblivious? He saw you coming back and he doesn’t even bother standing up to let you have a seat.”


Fang Erlan frantically said, “It’s alright, just let him have the seat.”


She shot Yan Ge a glance to subtly urge him not to say anything further.


However, Yan Ge ignored it and gibed, “Since he’s your bodyguard, he ought to act and perform the duties that a bodyguard is supposed to. Isn’t that the case?”


Xiao Chenyang looked up and said to Fang Erlan, “Take a seat.”


Not daring to take a seat, she smiled wryly and said, “You continue sitting, I’m not tired.”


Xiao Chenyang then looked at Yan Ge again and said, “Saw that?”


Yan Ge was speechless.


One would definitely feel threatened when his or her partner becomes the subject of adoration of someone else.


At this moment, Yan Ge was feeling absolutely threatened.


He repeatedly told himself that he was the one whom Fang Erlan was in love with and that Fang Erlan was his girlfriend. He tried to rea.s.sure himself that Xiao Chenyang had no chance at a shot with her at all.


However, he could not help but feel ill at ease even after trying to persuade himself.


He sat on the chair with a sullen expression on his face.


Everyone remained silent until Mrs. Yan arrived.


“Son, how many more scenes do you have to film for today?”


“Seven or eight, what’s the matter?”


“I have a friend whose daughter lives nearby, I was thinking…”


Before she could even finish her sentence, Yan Ge interrupted her, “Mother, why are you bringing that up again? I’ve already said that I don’t believe in matchmaking and arranged marriages. I’ll take charge of my own marriage from now on.”


“It’s just a casual meeting. What’s the big deal?”


“I already have a girlfriend,” said Yan Ge, who felt that it was alright to say it out loud since there were no crew members nearby.


However, Fang Erlan’s stomach had become twisted into a knot and she felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.


“Really? Who is it? Why didn’t you take her home to visit me and your father?” Mrs. Yan asked in surprise.


“Really. I’ll take her home next time.”


“Could you tell me who she is, then?” Mrs. Yan asked out of extreme curiosity.


“I’ll tell you next time.”


Noticing that he seemed reluctant to divulge the information, Mrs. Yan did not probe any further, especially since there were others around. She decided to ask him in private.


She would not leave until she found out who his girlfriend was.


She constantly prayed that he would not rekindle his relations.h.i.+p with Yu Caiwei.


In fact, she came to visit him especially because she knew that Yu Caiwei was part of the cast for this television series as well.


After some thought, Mrs. Yan realized that there was a huge possibility that they might have gotten back together.


She constantly pondered over the question until Yan Ge got off from work.


When they got inside the nanny van, she asked Yan Ge in all seriousness, “Did you get back together with Yu Caiwei?”


“No, I’ll never get back together with her.”


Mrs. Yan felt a huge sense of relief and she continued to probe, “Who is it, then? Hurry and tell me. My curiosity is killing me.”


“Can’t I tell you in the future?”


“No, no, no, I must find out now. Tell me, quick!”


Staring at her, Yan Ge said, “Mother, I’ll tell you, but you can’t spread it to anyone else.”


“Of course I won’t. I won’t tell anyone unless you’re planning to get married. I’ll at most tell your father. Don’t you trust me enough? I didn’t tell anyone about your relations.h.i.+p with Yu Caiwei, did I? Don’t worry, I know the pros and cons.”


“You must promise me that you won’t cause a stir after you find out, then.”


Mrs. Yan’s heart sank upon hearing his words. “Don’t tell me, your current girlfriend is horrible?”


“Of course not. Why would I agree to date her if she’s horrible? She’s a great girl to me, but I don’t know if you’ll take a liking to her. However, I’m telling you in advance now, don’t interfere with my relations.h.i.+p anymore from now on. If you try and intervene again like what you did with me and Yu Caiwei…”
