Xiao Chenyang took a glance at her. “People have to be buried eventually after having been dead for so many years. Don’t I have you now? So I’ll just bury this corpse.”

“Fickle-minded…”

He replied calmly, “What do you mean?”

“That’s true, she’s been dead for so long already, you can’t possibly live by yourself forever. But a mortal like me can live only for a few decades. I can’t be by your side forever.”

“It’s alright. After you’re dead, I’ll find another woman.”

Fang Erlan was rendered speechless by his words.

She had thought that the burial ground he chose for her would be either on a hill or at a cemetery. But little did she expect that he would bring her to the seaside.

She had originally thought that her burial ground would be by the sea or that her ashes would be scattered into the sea, but to her surprise, a helicopter was waiting for them by the side.

With just one look, Fang Erlan realized that he was going to scatter the ashes from a height in the sky.

“Why aren’t you going to bury the ashes? I thought you prepared a grave for her.”

He answered, “This is the best place to bury her.”

Fang Erlan watched as his eyes reddened, and from the moment they got into the helicopter until they landed and came down from it, Fang Erlan did not utter another word.

Only when they returned to Qingyuan Estate and when the car stopped did Xiao Chenyang look to see Jing Shui, who had emerged from the stairway, and start talking to her.

“What’s he doing here again?”

“Don’t know, he might be here to find Yan Ge.” She was about to get out of the car when he grabbed onto her arm.

“I forbid you from getting off.”

Fang Erlan shook his arm away and sat in the car obediently.

Jing Shui did not see her and simply walked past the front of the car.

Two minutes later, the two finally got out of the car. But unfortunately, they had avoided running into Jing Shui only to run right into Yan Ge.

Fang Erlan had just come out of the car when she went face to face with him.

She had not even gotten to closing the car door shut.

Yan Ge glanced at the car they alighted from before turning to them and asking, “Whose car is this?”

Fang Erlan replied immediately, “It’s mine.”

After all, to Yan Ge, Xiao Chenyang was her bodyguard and cousin at the same time. He wasn’t supposed to be rich…

If she did not smooth things over like this…

“Yours?” Yan Ge was taken by surprise. “You have money to buy this car?”

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe her, it was simply how it was in reality…

Before filming for the new series was to start, she wouldn’t have spare cash to spend. When they filmed the television drama together, she was paid 300 thousand per episode. After a percentage of it went to her work studio and after she bought a house worth around 3 million dollars, the amount she had left was considerably small. How, then, was it possible for her to buy this car…?

Moreover, Fang Erlan grew up in the countryside and did not have a habit of spending money frivolously. Even if she were to buy a car for herself, she wouldn’t possibly have bought such an expensive one. If she bought one that cost a few hundred thousand dollars, that would already been pretty impressive.

In addition, she didn’t even have a driving license. Shouldn’t she have gotten one before she even bought a car?

That was why he had asked that question.

Fang Erlan did not know how to answer him for a moment. If she said that it was a car arranged for her by her work studio, it would appear illogical since she already had a nanny van, which was completely fine.

Moreover, this car was a two-seater. Work studios would not usually arrange such cars for their artistes. Yan Ge was clearer than her about this.

As such, Fang Erlan was at a loss for words. She had tried to explain it using Xiao Chenyang’s situation, but she forgot about her own.

Now, there was no way for her to explain it anymore.

Seeing how she did not answer, Yan Ge was not anxious either and appeared to continue observing how, exactly, she was going to answer him.

“Why do you care if she has the money to buy it? It wasn’t stolen anyway,” Xiao Chenyang responded.

Yan Ge’s expression turned rather ugly as he replied, “I wasn’t asking you, who are you to butt in?”

“Sorry, my mouth is just that big.”

With that, he headed toward the stairway.

Fang Erlan approached him awkwardly and stopped about a meter before him. “My cousin just speaks like that, don’t take it to heart. The car is mine indeed, it’s umm… secondhand. That’s why it was cheaper. It just so happens that my cousin can drive, and having a car has always been a dream of mine too.”

After she muttered these words, Fang Erlan’s heart eased a little. Luckily for her, they had removed the red ribbons on the car wheels and rear view mirror when they went to the seaside earlier.

“This secondhand car looks really new.” It was not clear if he actually believed her words as he gave this remark.

Fang Erlan put on a calm front and responded, “Yeah, it was really a good deal. I’m going upstairs first.”

“Alright.”

Yan Ge just felt that something was amiss. As to what it was specifically, he couldn’t quite make that out. Walking to the front of the Aston Martin, he glanced at the temporary license plate, his gaze growing slightly deeper.

….

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Fang Erlan couldn’t help but ask when she returned home.

“Since you already said the car is yours, why didn’t you also declare me as yours?”

“I just said that the car is mine, are you angry about that? It’s just that I thought, since you’re supposed to be my cousin and bodyguard, if I said that the car is yours, he would definitely suspect that you aren’t actually my cousin. After all, if you’re that rich, why would you have to be my bodyguard…?”

“So, were you trying to smooth things over for me or for yourself?” he responded, hitting the nail on the head. “Whether I’m your cousin or bodyguard isn’t important to me at all. You should know, everything I’m hiding and considering are all because of you. You should also know that some things cannot be hidden forever. It’s a matter of time before everything you want to hide will be revealed.”

Fang Erlan knew that everything he said was the truth. The future was something she had still dared to think about before all this. But now, she did not dare to do so anymore.

This was because her future was no longer in her hands.

“Oh my, this is big news!” Xiao Bai took out his phone excitedly to show Xiao Huang. “Do you see it? It’s just been a short while yet there’s already over 50 thousand people who have signed up. Our Chief really has remarkable privileges! This is great, he’ll definitely be able to find a future wife!”

“I really admire our Chief so much! When will we be able to receive such privileges like him?”

“Chief is back, hurry and go ask him about the latest updates.” Once Xiao Bai’s words landed, he hurriedly dashed a few meters away in an instant.

Xiao Huang chased after him hurriedly as well.

“Chief, Chief. We’ve seen that matchmaking site for you, how’s your selection going?”

“I haven’t seen it.”

Xiao Bai was perplexed. “Why haven’t you seen it? Hurry and make time to select those who are suitable.”

“There’s no hurry,” Fan Shixin replied in an orderly manner. “I’ll go and eat first.”

Xiao Huang exchanged glances with Xiao Bai before asking, “Chief, why don’t you seem excited at all?”

“Those applicants who signed up probably did so because of what they see in me. Those who’ll get to meet me will also be because of what I see in them, so there’s nothing to be excited about.”

“Then, Chief, will you make a decision and start meeting them today?”

Fan Shixin replied with a short sound of acknowledgment and went on, “Young Sir has asked me to choose five people out of every five thousand applicants. I’ll be meeting five a day, starting from this afternoon.”

“Then, can we hang around to watch?” Xiao Bai’s eyes were sparkling with excitement as he continued, “Chief, can we?”

“Do your patrolling duty properly and quit being so nosy.”

Xiao Bai’s heart sank as he responded, “But Chief, we’re trying to help you examine their standards.”
