She tried to give herself an out and said, "I'll cook you a meal in return some other day."

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of the dressing room, leaving the lunchbox behind. Yan Ge grabbed it and threw it into the rubbish bin.

Fang Erlan felt exceptionally pleased after seeing what he had done. She felt as if her spirits had been lifted, and she smiled at him.

Yan Ge smiled back at her.

The pair barely spoke to each other throughout the makeup session. However, there was a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Jin Qingyan finally came to and regained control over his body after being hospitalized for eight days.

He was flabbergasted to see that he was in the hospital, for he could not remember what had happened at all.

He could only recall falling asleep in Wei Ni Estate. The next thing he knew, he had woken up in a hospital.

An Xiaoning exited from the washroom to see that he was staring at her with his eyes wide open. She asked, "Would you like to freshen up?"

"Sure," he answered with a nod.

An Xiaoning helped him out of the bed and walked him to the basin in the bathroom, as usual.

Jin Qingyan hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. "Good morning."

Despite being taken aback, the quick-witted An Xiaoning immediately said, "Good morning, Qingyan."

"Why am I in the hospital?"

"Did you forget? You drove out at midnight and you were speeding along the roads when you collided into some racers. You were hospitalized afterward."

"When did you come to the hospital, then?"

"When I first received the news, of course. I rushed here immediately. However, you seemed a little strange throughout the past few days."

Jin Qingyan panicked and asked, "Why?"

"Hmm… you didn't really want to speak to me."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. What else could there be?" she answered, trying her best to appear normal.

He heaved a sigh of relief and apologized, "I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for? Xiao Chenyang is still asleep. He's been accompanying us in the hospital for the past few days. Xihou Jiaping showed up in between too. He tried to kill us."

"He came straight to the hospital?"

"Yes. Fortunately, Xiao Chenyang was around. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stop him."

"He's such a kind person."

"How rare for you to be complimenting me," Xiao Chenyang said sluggishly.

An Xiaoning turned around to see that Xiao Chenyang was standing by the door and looking at them.

"I've never been stingy with the compliments that I give others." Jin Qingyan began washing up. When he was soaping his face, he said to Xiao Chenyang, "Go ahead and take your leave if you have something on."

Xiao Chenyang waved at them and said, "We'll talk later. Hurry and come outside, I need to use the toilet."

An Xiaoning helped Jin Qingyan out of the washroom and sent Fan Shixin a text message.

She then drew the curtains open and opened the windows to let some fresh air in.

The room was bright and tranquil.

Fan Shixin arrived with three identical sets of breakfast and reported about the company's situation to Jin Qingyan while the latter was having his food.

Jin Qingyan gave him some instructions to follow when handling some important matters at the office.

Fan Shixin then excused himself and headed to the office, leaving the three of them behind in the ward.

Staring at Jin Qingyan, Xiao Chenyang said, "Since you're injured, can you handle Xihou Jiaping without me if he comes back again?"

"My wife is here to defend us, isn't she?"

Pointing at An Xiaoning, Xiao Chenyang said, "Hua Jin… may be rather skilled and capable. However, I doubt she can defend you and herself against Xihou Jiaping. I'll wait for you to fully recover before I leave. Xihou Jiaping's motive is to annihilate the two of you, so he'll definitely be devising a scheme to kill you both. You mustn't let your guards down."

"So you won't be going back to Fang Erlan…"

"She'll enjoy more freedom without me. She probably wishes that I'll never go back."

Jin Qingyan said, "Are you going to let her have her wishes, then? Since you've helped us, we ought to help you too. You might completely lose your chance if you wait until I recover before returning, so you should just go back today."

"What's most important right now is your life, and Hua Jin's," said Xiao Chenyang.

"I'll be fine, don't worry. It won't matter even if Xihou Jiaping comes here again. I've already come up with a solution to deal with him. You may rest assured. We'll contact you when we need your help."

Xiao Chenyang knew that Jin Qingyan must have a great ton of confidence in defeating Xihou Jiaping. Otherwise, he would not have said those words.

"Alright, but I need your guidance on something."

"What is it?"

Xiao Chenyang gestured for An Xiaoning to leave and said, "This is a talk between men. Excuse us for a while."

An Xiaoning conceded and walked out of the door. Xiao Chenyang walked toward Jin Qingyan's bed and asked him softly, "How did you manage to win Hua Jin's heart in this lifetime?"

"I did it using my unique charm, obviously."

Pursing his lips, Xiao Chenyang said, "Give me some tips on how to win Erlan's heart."

"Dummy, you've already made such an aggressive first move on her. Just keep advancing forward and you'll conquer her heart sooner or later."

"She already fancies someone else."

"Make her drink some liquor at night, as frequently as you can."

"Liquor?"

"Yes, there's no harm in trying a few times. I guarantee… you'll make it one day."

Xiao Chenyang smiled and said, "Good idea, but I don't want to influence her to take up drinking."

"Xiao Yue, hurry and bring me a bottle of water."

"Alright." Xiao Yue returned to the nanny van to retrieve a bottle of mineral water, which she then handed to Fang Erlan. Fang Erlan grabbed it and took a few gulps of water.

Fang Erlan had filmed a total of twelve scenes today. She was extremely exhausted, especially since Yu Caiwei constantly pulled a bad take on purpose.

After the last scene for the day was filmed, it began drizzling all of a sudden. The production team was in the midst of dinner. However, Fang Erlan and her subordinates decided not to join in, since the catered dishes were bland and of poor quality. Ever since she joined the set, she, Xiao Yue, and their chauffeur had always opted to dine elsewhere instead. Fang Erlan would pay for their meals with her own money.

It was just that she felt that they deserved to eat better food after all the hard work that they had put in.

They got inside the car and headed to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was raining cats and dogs by the time they were done.

"Sis Erlan, don't we have outdoor filming to do tomorrow? I've read the weather forecast. It's going to rain again tomorrow."

"There are some scenes that have to be filmed in the rain. If it pours again tomorrow, I guess we'll just have to bring forward the filming of those scenes."

They entered the hotel, after which Fang Erlan suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Sis Erlan, what's the matter?"

Fang Erlan turned to face her and said, "Why do I have such an ominous feeling? I feel really flustered all of a sudden."

Xiao Yue asked, "What ominous feeling?"

"I have no idea either," said Fang Erlan, who continued walking toward the elevator.

Pangs of panic and anxiety engulfed her when she was waiting for the elevator. She could not help but wonder if she was simply too worn out.

She got a great shock the moment the doors of the elevator opened. "Auntie? When did you come?"

Smiling, Mrs. Yan said, "I arrived in the afternoon. Erlan, are you done for the day?"
