"Yes…" Fang Erlan struggled to open her eyes and got back on her feet slowly. She said, "Perhaps I'm too tired. I'd like to get some sleep."

"We've come all the way here. Don't you want to take a walk by the lake?" asked Yan Ge, who thought that they shouldn't make a wasted trip.

Not wanting to be a wet blanket, Fang Erlan pinched her thighs in a bid to wake herself up. "Alright, let's go."

Yan Ge helped her down the stairs from the observation deck.

They walked toward the lake.

The breeze was blowing gently, and it was rather cool.

Fang Erlan felt much more awake.

The two of them strolled slowly along the path without uttering a single word. Due to the scarce moonlight, the ripples of the water could not be seen on the surface of the lake.

Yan Ge was initially in a good mood since it was the perfect night for them to spend some time alone together. He was still looking forward to it although she seemed a little under the weather.

However, things quickly took a turn for the worse.

When Yan Ge and Fang Erlan stopped at the same, they caught sight of Xiao Chenyang and Jiang Shu, who had also stopped in their tracks three meters away.

Xiao Chenyang had invited Jiang Shu along, just so he could have someone to talk to. He could tell that she was sensible and knew her place despite being very young.

She had no idea what feud Xiao Chenyang had with Yan Ge and Fang Erlan.

Upon the sight of them stopping, Jiang Shu turned to look at Xiao Chenyang.

Xiao Chenyang was indeed astonished to see the two of them.

He had arrived in the afternoon.

He was planning to stay here for a few days.

He was dressed in a long white robe and appeared extremely handsome and suave.

"Are you shadowing us?" Yan Ge questioned, finding it way too coincidental.

"Shadowing you guys? This is my territory. I'll come whenever I want to. Why do I have to shadow you? Superstar Yan, you're reading too much into things," Xiao Chenyang said with raised brows.

"Your territory… what does that mean?"

"Can't you understand simple words? This mansion belongs to me."

Yan Ge was at a loss for words for a rebuttal. He said softly to Fang Erlan, "Let's go."

Staring at Xiao Chenyang and Jiang Shu, Fang Erlan began walking slowly toward the front.

Xiao Chenyang proceeded along his path and did not once turn around to look at them.

After walking for a while, Yan Ge and Fang Erlan sat down. He could not tolerate it any further and decided to ask her, "Did he bring you here before?"

"I told you, it's my first time here. If he didn't mention it earlier, I wouldn't have known that he owns this property."

"If it's your first time here, how did you know that there's a fountain on the observation deck?"

"I didn't, of course. I merely said that it'd be beautiful if there was a fountain. That doesn't mean that I've been here before, does it?"

"Erlan, I'm your boyfriend now but you don't tell me anything at all, including the things about Xiao Chenyang. He's not related to you at all, so why do you have to help him cover up? Just who is he?"

Staring at him calmly, Fang Erlan said, "Do you really want to find out just who he is?"

"I still want to find out even if nothing can be changed."

Feeling extremely sleepy, Fang Erlan said, "I want to go back to get some sleep."

"Erlan…"

"Yan Ge, I don't want to talk about it, so stop asking me."

"Alright, I won't ask anymore. Let's go back to get some rest."

"You don't look very happy either. Tonight turned out to be different from what I had imagined."

Upon returning to their room, Yan Ge opened the door and Fang Erlan entered. As soon as the lights were switched on, Fang Erlan got a huge shock when she saw the decor of the room.

It boasted of a vintage classism.

"You must be shocked, aren't you? It's similar to the props that we use for filming ancient dramas. I heard that that's the speciality here."

Fang Erlan walked toward the bed, grabbed the curtains around it, and began to feel sleepier and sleepier. She sat down and leaned toward the side. "I'm going to bed now."

"Aren't you going to talk to me before sleeping?"

"I'm really tired."

"Alright, go to bed first, then. I'll take a shower," Yan Ge said with a look of dejection.

Fang Erlan expressed assent and closed her heavy eyelids.

How bizarre.

I clearly haven't been here before, and yet, I find it so familiar.

Strange.

Who was that girl beside him just now?

Seems like they're dating each other. Otherwise, why would they show up here together at night?

He seemed aloof and barely looked at me.

Fang Erlan soon dozed off.

Yan Ge came out of the shower to see that she was sweating profusely.

Thinking that she was running a fever, he touched her forehead, only to find that her temperature was normal. What was going on?

Clad in his bathrobe, Yan Ge removed his shoes and lay down beside her. He switched off the lights and snuggled up to her.

He took a whiff of her pleasant scent and rested his arm below her head with one hand on his stomach. She then placed her hand on top of his.

Fang Erlan opened her eyes and said, "I need to go to the washroom."

Yan Ge switched on the lights and said in a horse voice, "Go ahead."

Fang Erlan got out of bed and headed to the washroom.

She sat on the toilet bowl and stared at the ground, unable to think straight at all.

She exited and grabbed her mobile phone. "I'll go outside to make a call."

He leaned against the bedhead with a cigarette between his fingers, which he then lit up.

Fang Erlan exited and double tapped on her screen to unlock it.

She opened her call history and glanced through the short list of names before tapping on Xiao Chenyang's.

Is his phone still switched off? Or did he block me?

She locked her screen, feeling as if she was about to lose her mind.

I clearly had it all figured out.

It's good that he has stopped pestering me. What am I doing?

Perhaps I still want to find out why he had come into my life all of a sudden.

Everything happens for a reason.

Yes, I merely want to find out the reason.

Seemingly having found an excuse for herself, she dialed Xiao Chenyang's number again.

This time, it went through.

He answered coldly, "What's the matter? Did you call to warn me not to harass you again?"

Fang Erlan's heart dropped, and she answered, "No."

Xiao Chenyang asked again, "Why did you call me, then?"

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"Why did you show up in my life all of a sudden? Why?"

"No reason."

"Do you really plan to hide it from me forever?"

"Is there really still a point in finding out? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."

"Wait!" Fang Erlan exclaimed.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No… nothing's wrong," she murmured before hanging up. As soon as she turned around, she made eye contact with Yan Ge.

"You…"

Staring at her, Yan Ge questioned, "You wanted to see him?"

"No…"

"You're lying. Erlan, you just want to see him," said Yan Ge, who had seen through her.
