However, she never expected for her fate from her previous lifetime to carry over to her current one.

She no longer wanted to kill or harm anyone in this lifetime, and neither did she want to use her paranormal powers and skills to commit any evil acts, especially not to Xihou Ling and Hua Jin. However, do I still have the ability to protect myself, my family, and the descendants of the Yin family? 

Do I still have a choice? 

If Hua Jin finds out that I’m the reincarnation of Yin Cun, she and Xihou Ling would definitely kill me, wouldn’t they? 

Yu Yiwei rested her arm on her forehead and closed her eyes while she sank deep into thought.

The incident that Fang Erlan was involved in had become a huge taboo within the production unit. All the crew members who were present at the time of the incident were made to sign a non-disclosure agreement. If they were to breach the terms of the agreement and divulge any details, they would have to pay a hefty compensatory sum.

Due to the fact that Yan Ge was filming another scene in a different filming location, the crew members who were working on the set on Yan Ge’s side had no idea about what happened.

Fang Erlan was in low spirits and thus headed back to her hotel room after filming the scene.

Xiao Yue delivered the food to Fang Erlan’s room. Noticing that she did not seem to have much of an appetite, Xiao Yue tried to talk her round, “Sis Erlan, eat more.”

“I don’t have much of an appetite,” she said sluggishly.

“Shall we go out for a walk after you’re done eating, then?”

“I don’t feel like moving, I’m aching all over.” She put down the chopsticks and stood up with one hand supporting her back. “I’ll go brush my teeth. You may finish the rest of the food.”

After washing up, Fang Erlan lay down on the bed while Xiao Yue cleaned up the mess. She then poured Fang Erlan a glass of water and left it on the table beside the bed before leaving.

The lights were still on in the room, and Fang Erlan stared at a corner while lying stiffly on the bed.

The doorbell rang all of a sudden.

“Who’s there?”

“It’s me,” Yan Ge answered.

Fang Erlan immediately got out of bed and opened the door. Staring at the bodyguard outside the door, she asked in bewilderment, “Why haven’t you gone back to your room to rest yet?”

“Young Madam wanted us to take turns to be on duty.”

She then looked at Yan Ge and asked, “What brings you here?”

She was staring at him with fear and worry in her eyes. In fact, she was trying to say, “What if we get caught?”

However, Yan Ge understood just what she was worried about.

“I need to talk to you about something, may I go in?”

“Come inside.” She moved aside to allow him to enter. As soon as she closed the door, Yan Ge hugged her tightly in his arms, causing her to feel like she was about to suffocate.

“Why didn’t you call and tell me about it? I’m your boyfriend and yet you didn’t even tell me that something had happened to you. Do you take me as an outsider?” he questioned, sounding a little peeved.

Fang Erlan teared up after hearing his words. “No… I just didn’t want you to be embroiled in this matter. There are so many paparazzi who are waiting to dig up some news about you. If you end up causing a stir in the production unit because of me, your reputation will be tarnished. That’s why I didn’t want to tell you about it. But how did you find out?”

He walked inside while still holding her in his arms. He then sat down on the bed and said, “No one told me. I just overheard some people discussing it softly. That’s why I went to question Director Gao about it.”

“I see. This matter has already been settled. Director Gao has also increased my salary to 300 thousand dollars per episode as a form of compensation. That’s 100 thousand dollars extra for each episode.”

“Money is not everything. Can an increment of 100 thousand dollars per episode really make up for the pain that you suffered while being whipped?” he said with a sullen expression.

“However, that’s the best solution for the problem. Go back and get some rest. I’m afraid that the paparazzi are going to make mountains out of molehills when they photograph you leaving my room after staying in here for a long time.”

“I don’t want to leave.”

Fang Erlan held onto his hand and said, “Go back, we’ll be in trouble if we make it onto the tabloids.”

He kissed her and stood up before saying, “Go get some rest, then. I’ll send you breakfast tomorrow morning.”

“Don’t… if you deliver breakfast to my room, wouldn’t…?” she declined.

“I’ll get Xiao Li to deliver it to you, then.”

Fang Erlan agreed with a nod, “Alright.”

Fang Erlan finally fell asleep. However, she woke up again a few times in the middle of the night.

She could no longer fall asleep after waking up at three in the morning.

She kept her eyes wide open until daybreak.

Xiao Li knocked on her door at six o’clock in the morning when she was washing up and dolling herself up.

“Ms. Fang, Brother wanted me to deliver this to you. He also wants you to know that he had cooked it personally.”

“He cooked it personally? Where?” Fang Erlan asked in puzzlement.

“The kitchen in the hotel.”

A warm fuzzy feeling filled her heart. She grabbed the lunchbox and said to Xiao Li, “Help me thank Senior Yan Ge for his kind thoughts and concern.”

“Yes, Brother is just so caring toward everyone. He has also made breakfast for the other supporting actors and actresses. However, he had put in the most effort when preparing yours.”

Fang Erlan said, “Senior Yan Ge and I have starred alongside each other in the previous television series. Now that fate has brought us together to work with each other again, he’s definitely going to be closer to me than the rest of the cast.”

Xiao Li chuckled and said, “Yes, that goes without saying. I’ll be taking my leave now, then.”

“Okay, sure.”

Fang Erlan closed the door and sat down on the bed. She removed the lid of the lunchbox and took a look at the food inside. Her mood was instantly lifted.

Unbeknown to the rest, he had made breakfast for the other cast members simply because he wanted to use them as a smoke screen. She was well aware that his main intention was to cook for her.

However, it would be too suspicious if he were to prepare a set only for her.

She polished off the breakfast inside the lunchbox, after which she sent Yan Ge a text message that read: “It was delicious. You’ve got great culinary skills. I can totally imagine you being exploited by me and being made to stay in the kitchen all day with an apron around your waist.”

He soon replied: “My skills are so-so. I rarely cook.”

“I’m going to get my makeup done now. Is yours done yet?”

“I’m waiting for you so we could go together.”

Fang Erlan smiled and replied: “We’d better go separately. We won’t get to talk much anyway.”

“But I feel happy enough just being around you.”

Fang Erlan replied: “Hurry and go now.”

When Fang Erlan entered the makeup room, she discovered that Yu Caiwei was sitting on one of the chairs inside. However, it was a room specifically meant for Fang Erlan and Yan Ge, the lead actress and actor.

What is Yu Caiwei doing here? 

The lunchbox in front of Yu Caiwei caught Fang Erlan’s attention. She immediately knew that it contained the breakfast that Yan Ge had made. She stepped forward and took a seat on the empty chair beside Yu Caiwei. After taking a quick glance at the food inside the transparent container, she could tell that it was indeed different from the food he had made her.

Well, she would definitely receive some special treatment since she was his girlfriend.

As soon as she sat down, Yan Ge arrived.

Yan Ge’s spirits were dampened the moment he saw Yu Caiwei.

“What are you doing here?” he questioned.

“I ought to thank you for the breakfast that you had made especially for me. It tastes pretty good. You’ve got the potential to become a great chef.”

Yan Ge gestured for her to leave and said coldly, “I didn’t cook it especially for you. I made a share for everyone else too. I’m going to get my makeup done now. Get up.”

Yu Caiwei froze in shock, for Xiao Li did not mention that Yan Ge had cooked for everyone else too when he came by to deliver the food…

An awkward tension filled the air in the makeup room. The two makeup artists knew better than to butt in and, thus, remained silent.

Pursing her lips, Yu Caiwei said, “Even if you had cooked it for everyone else too, I should still thank you after eating it.”
