"I'm fine. Since you've cleaned up everything, go back and get some rest," said An Xiaoning.

"Alright, I shall excuse myself, then." Fan Shixin waved at his subordinates, after which all of them vanished within seconds.

—

"What!?! Really?" Yu Yiwei exclaimed in shock as she got out of bed and tightened her grip on her mobile phone.

"…"

"Got it."

"…"

"Alright."

Yu Yiwei put the phone down and began to panic.

Xihou Jiaping wouldn't have called her if it weren't because of something urgent.

She did not expect for Jin Qingyan to have become so formidable.

If Xihou Jiaping could not kill him, it's only a matter of time before An Xiaoning discovers that I'm in cahoots with Xihou Jiaping. There's no way for me to escape.

Besides, An Xiaoning had taken away the Yin family ancestral records. Why would she have done so if she didn't know that the Yin family only had a few descendants left?

She is definitely making use of the Yin family to lure me.

I can choose not to step in at all. However, I can't just sit back and watch my few remaining descendants die in front of me.

Yu Yiwei picked up the bottle of liquor on the table and began pouring herself a glass, which she then finished in one go.

She continued to pour and down another glass.

Yu Yiwei slammed the glass down with a look of determination in her eyes.

When daybreak arrived, she dolled herself up and proceeded to meet Yu Caiwei at the restaurant that they had agreed upon.

"I'll be returning to A City later."

"Sis, aren't you going to stay for a few more days?"

"Nah, there's nothing better to do here. Caiwei, would you be willing to give up your career and move abroad for good, if you had to?"

Yu Caiwei answered without hesitation, "Of course not. I'm doing so well here, why should I move abroad? It's not like there's no space for me in the nation."

"If you had to choose between your life and your career, which one would you pick?"

"Sis, aren't you asking the obvious? I'd choose my life, of course. What's the point of having a career if I'm dead? Sis, what's wrong with you? Why have you been acting so strangely of late?" Yu Caiwei asked with a frown.

"Nothing. Focus on acting. I'm going back now," said Yu Yiwei, who stood up to leave without eating much.

Staring at her receding figure, Yu Caiwei hurriedly stood up and took chase. "Sis, are you troubled about something?"

"I'm alright."

"You're lying. Sis, you must tell me if you're worried about something."

Yu Yiwei hugged her and whispered into her ear, "You must bear in mind what I said about leaving Fang Erlan's bodyguard alone. You can't afford to offend or provoke him."

Yu Caiwei nodded, thinking to herself that her sister must know something about Xiao Chenyang that she herself doesn't know about.

Yu Yiwei pondered over a question throughout her journey home.

It was extremely important to her.

—

Yu Caiwei had begun paying more attention to Xiao Chenyang after hearing her sister's words.

After thinking about it carefully, she began to smell a rat.

Given how good-looking and outstanding Xiao Chenyang was, why would he be willing to be Fang Erlan's bodyguard?

Judging from his mannerisms, he seemed to exude the aura of a wealthy man.

He doesn't look like a bodyguard at all. In fact, he seemed to be a classy and elite individual.

She had been keeping her eyes fixed on Xiao Chenyang throughout the entire day, from breakfast to filming.

The more she stared at Xiao Chenyang, the more perplexed she felt.

After observing him for just one day, she decided to take back her words about Xiao Chenyang being a gigolo.

Three days later, Yu Caiwei began her attempts at striking a conversation with him.

"Your name is Xiao Chenyang, right? I heard Fang Erlan calling you that."

"How does that concern you in any way?" Xiao Chenyang answered coldly.

"I was just asking a casual question. Xiao Chenyang, can I address you by your name from now on?" Yu Caiwei asked in a mellow voice, which made her appear as if she was easygoing.

"Are you not going to if I forbid you from doing so?"

Yu Caiwei sat down beside him and asked while smiling, "Let's forget about that unhappy incident that took place in the restaurant and bury the hatchet. I'm not going to bring it up again, so don't take it to heart."

Xiao Chenyang did not tell her to scram immediately, simply because he took into consideration the fact that Fang Erlan would have to act in the same scene as her rather often.

"You even tried to get your sister to stand up for you a few days ago. Why has your attitude changed all of a sudden?"

Yu Caiwei said slowly, "My sister has already chided me. I was wrong that day, but you've also poured the noodles over my head. So we're even now."

"Oh, I see. How do you explain the times when you intentionally made things difficult for Erlan during filming?" he questioned.

"I won't do that again. Are you happy now?" said Yu Caiwei.

He turned to look at her and said, "You shouldn't be doing that in the first place… there's nothing to be happy about."

"Xiao Chenyang, would it be easy to woo you?" Yu Caiwei asked.

He asked with raised brows, "Why? Are you thinking of wooing me?"

"I'm just asking. Would it be easy to woo you?" Yu Caiwei asked, smiling.

"It can be easy, but it can also be difficult. It depends on who's wooing me. It'd be impossible if it's you," Xiao Chenyang said ruthlessly.

The smile on Yu Caiwei's face vanished and she asked, "Am I really that detestable to you?"

"Is there a point in asking that? Don't you still have feelings for your old flame?"

"How… did you know? Did Fang Erlan tell you?"

"I can find out everything I want to by myself."

Yu Caiwei said, "So what if I can't forget him? He belongs to someone else now."

Her words had struck a sour note within Xiao Chenyang and she remained silent.

Fang Erlan caught sight of them having a conversation when she returned from filming. She thought to herself, What is that Yu Caiwei up to again?

She walked toward them and questioned, "Yu Caiwei, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing, just talking to a hunk. What's wrong? Fang Erlan, you've got such a handsome bodyguard by your side, why did you choose to be with someone else instead?" Yu Caiwei sneered with a sarcastic smile.

Having understood what she was trying to get at, Fang Erlan retorted, "How does it concern you?"

"What I'm trying to say is, don't be too greedy. Since you already have someone else, let me have this hunk instead."

Fang Erlan looked at Xiao Chenyang, who was sipping on some tea while remaining silent.

"Isn't he right here? If you want him, why don't you just ask him straight? I won't have any objections if he agrees."

Xiao Chenyang turned to look at Fang Erlan, who instantly wondered if she had said something wrong.

I don't think I said anything wrong, though.

He's a live human, not an inanimate object. If Yu Caiwei wants him, wouldn't she have to ask him herself…?

"Would you really have no objections if I agree to it?" he asked.

Staring at him in astonishment, Fang Erlan said, "Of… of course, if you've already agreed to it yourself, what more can I say?"

"Ms. Yu, name me a price. I charge a lot."

Yu Caiwei was initially just making a casual remark, thinking that Xiao Chenyang would definitely turn her down since he had already done so at the start. To her astonishment, he actually asked for the price she would be offering him.
