Chapter 1016: Perplexed and Smitten (76)

Upon seeing An Xiaoning, Fang Erlan felt as if she had seen her savior.

“Sis Xiaoning, I can’t live anymore. What do you think I should do?”

An Xiaoning could vaguely guess something, but she still asked, “What happened?”

“Last night…” She started explaining in detail what she had experienced to An Xiaoning. An Xiaoning thought that she’d had a dream again, but little did she expect that the Mysterious Mr. Xiao had actually…

“I want to make a police report.”

“Don’t…” An Xiaoning muttered. “It’s useless.”

“Why?” Fang Erlan responded, perplexed.

An Xiaoning let out a sigh as she replied, “Since he could even enter your dreams, do you think the police would be able to subdue him?”

“I think what he said can’t be trusted, but at the same time, I can’t find any reason to rebut him.” She gazed at An Xiaoning earnestly. “Sis Xiaoning, what do you think I should do?”

At this point, she really did not want to interfere in Fang Erlan’s affairs, but it didn’t seem that easy, after all. She could only try her best to do so.

“Erlan, are you willing to listen to Sister’s opinion?”

“Yes, of course I’m willing.”

“You’re an adult now, you have the ability to make decisions and handle matters by yourself. I suggest you get along with him calmly. It won’t do you any harm.”

“But…” Fang Erlan hesitated. “He’s just a stranger to me. Who knows how long he’ll stay around? If news of me living with a man spreads, what do I do? I haven’t gotten married, nor have I gotten myself a boyfriend. This will affect me badly.”

An Xiaoning did not know what to say. She badly wanted to tell Fang Erlan that as long as this Mysterious Mr. Xiao was around, she shouldn’t even think about finding a boyfriend or a husband in the foreseeable future. But she just couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Seeing how she remained silent, Fang Erlan asked, “Sis, is it true when you said he can enter my dreams?”

“It must be true. Some dreams occur because of our own minds, but there are others that happen because someone else has broken into our minds. He’s probably not a lunatic.”

Fang Erlan was ridden with worry. “I’m really unlucky to the core. Sis, even though you said that the police won’t be able to subdue him, I still want to make a police report.”

“You should go back. Do whatever you need to. You should be responsible for your own matters.”

As she had not gotten any effective solution for her problem here, Fang Erlan went into a trance for a moment, unwilling to return to her place.

At the same time, she had no choice but to return there. After all, it was the house she had painstakingly bought with her money earned from filming.

When her nanny van passed by the police station, she made the driver pull over.

After careful consideration, she eventually entered the station.

When she returned to her house at Qingyuan Estate with a police officer, she thought that he would be around, but the moment she entered her house, there was not a single soul in sight.

“Ms. Fang, looks like there’s no one.”

Fang Erlan was rather shaken. “Maybe he’s gone.”

“How about this? When you see him again, give us a call.”

“Alright, really sorry to trouble you guys.”

“It’s fine.”

Fang Erlan closed the door shut. The moment she turned around, her heart almost dropped. Looking into his eyes, she started to tremble for no reason.

“But I’m sure I looked through the whole house, how did you…”

“How did I treat you this morning?”

He inched closer to her, and Fang Erlan retreated, leaning against the door closely. “I… I…”

“I already told you, if you were to make a police report, the consequences would be very dire. As expected, you didn’t take my words seriously.”

“Ah!” Her toes curled in and her neck straightened. With her head raised, she stood there, completely stupefied.

On the other hand, he buried his mouth in her neck. She could feel the warmth of his breath, which gave the impression that he could devour her anytime.

With both her arms forcefully restrained by him, it was completely impossible for her to escape through the door.

“What do you want…”

“You’ll know soon enough.” As his words landed, Fang Erlan was dragged away by him as if she were a little chick.

A wave of terror swept through her heart as she struggled vehemently, but she was eventually still thrown onto the bed by him. After rolling over the bed twice, she was feeling lightheaded.

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare to anymore. I don’t dare to call the police anymore, don’t do this.”

“Don’t dare to?” He put on an unbothered attitude. “I’ll give you a chance to call the police right now. Go…”

She knew he was saying this intentionally. If she actually dared to do so, one could only imagine the consequences.

As such, she sat there not moving an inch at all.

When he saw the situation, his tightly pursed lips curved slightly into a faint smile. “Whether it’s getting along peacefully with me or having me torturing you ’til you’re unable to even get down from the bed, the choice is in your hands.”

Fang Erlan felt that everything was turning dark before her eyes. It was as if a glimmer of hope that had just emerged in her life was instantly erased by this uninvited guest.

“Young Madam, Major Ji wants to see you.”

“Really? Let him in.” An Xiaoning then instructed the maid to serve them two cups of coffee.

Ji Yu had not seen An Xiaoning for a very long time.

This time, he was naturally here for a reason.

“Xiaoning.”

“You’re here, have a seat.”

Ji Yu sat opposite her and placed a bright red wedding invitation on the coffee table. “I’m here to give my wedding invitation to you. I was wondering, are you free to attend my wedding?”

“When is it?” She picked up the wedding invitation on the table and opened it to take a look. “It’s tomorrow?”

“Yes, tomorrow’s my wedding.”

“Alright, I’ll attend it.” He had even brought the invitation over personally. There was no harm in her going anyway. After all, she was indeed free tomorrow.

“Has everything been alright with you lately?” he asked before thanking the maid who served them coffee on the table.

“Yes, everything’s been fine.” An Xiaoning grinned. “How about you?”

“Everything’s been good for me as well, but it’s still the same as before. I rarely spend time at home and still spend most of my time in the military.”

An Xiaoning suddenly did not know how to continue the conversation. Previously, when they went fishing on ice and played pool together, they had endless topics to chat about. But now, having not seen each other for such a long time, they actually had barely anything to talk about.

“I think I’ll go back first,” he muttered as he suddenly stood up.

An Xiaoning stood up as well to send him off. “Alright.”

An Xiaoning sent him all the way to the front gate and watched as the man who was dressed in his military outfit got into his car. Only when his car drove away slowly did she turn around and go back into the house.

“Young Madam…” Fan Shixin approached her with a gleeful smile. “Why was he here?”

“What do you think? To hand me his wedding invitation.”

“He’s getting married?”

“Yes.”

Fan Shixin’s smile brightened even further. “Oh, our Young Sir’s once-love-rival is getting married. I wonder if Young Sir will want to go and take a look?”

An Xiaoning darted a glance at him. “Look at how delighted you are. He’s the one getting married, what are you so delighted for?”

“Young Madam, don’t you know? Previously, whenever you spent time with Ji Yu alone, Young Sir would get so frustrated.”

“Shixin…”

“Yes?”

“Have you found a doctor for your Young Sir?”

“Not yet…” he replied immediately. “I will continue finding one right away.”

After An Xiaoning watched his figure that was full of vigor and excitement drift further away, she smirked as she returned to the living room.

After picking up the wedding invitation on the table, she went upstairs.
