After sending the snacks and beverages into the room, Qin Guo asked, “Ancestor, who is he...”
“What’s your name?” Pei Yi asked.
“Wu Lianzhi. I remember mentioning it before.”
“I didn’t notice,” Pei Yi said coldly. He then instructed Qin Guo, “Arrange a guest room for him to stay in.”
“Alright, but do I arrange one for Ms. An, too?”
“No.”
Wu Lianzhi immediately confirmed his guess. Seems like he’s going to share the same room as An Xiaoning, he thought.
Noticing something unusual about the way Wu Lianzhi was staring at her and Pei Yi, An Xiaoning knew that he must have gotten the wrong idea.
However, she did not wish to be mistaken to be in a relationship with any other men except Jin Qingyan.
She could not help but feel the need to clarify things at the thought of her man.
“Lianzhi, come outside with me. I have a few words to say to you.”
“Alright.”
Once they exited the room, she asked softly, “Did you mistake me to be in a relationship with Pei Yi?”
“Are you not...?”
“Of course not. I would usually sleep on that couch in his room, even when he chained my arms together in the past.”
“Does he fancy you?”
An Xiaoning smacked his shoulder and said, “Don’t spout any nonsense. We’ll leave after staying here for five days.”
“Alright.”

Fang Erlan was as busy as a bee, for her schedule had been hectic lately. She had to redo some scenes and attend publicity events all day. She would start working the moment she opens her eyes every day, all the way until bedtime. She was dog tired.
Although Xiao Chenyang tried to do everything he could to nourish her with nutritious food, she still lost quite a bit of weight.
After reading An Xiaoning’s text message, Xiao Chenyang said to Fang Erlan, “I don’t think I can accompany you for the next few days.”
“Where are you going?”
Although Xiao Chenyang did not wish to keep any secrets from Fang Erlan, he decided to keep Jin Qingyan’s dissociative identity disorder a secret because he knew that it would be better for fewer people to find out. “To handle something very important. I’ll be back real soon.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Don’t you still have to film and attend publicity events?”
“I can continue doing that after we’re back.”
Xiao Chenyang reached out to caress her head, delighted to see how worried and attached she was to him. “I’d really like for you to go with me too because you’ll be the safest with me around. However, I really can’t bring you along this time.”
“Just what are you going to do? If you don’t tell me, I won’t let you go,” Fang Erlan probed.
Noticing how worried she was, Xiao Chenyang said, “You must promise to keep your lips sealed, then. You can’t breathe a word about it to anyone at all.”
“Of course, I won’t tell anyone.”
Xiao Chenyang said softly, “Qingyan has run away.”
“Run away... what do you mean?”
“He has dissociative identity disorder, which means he has two distinctively different personalities within him. His second personality is in control right now and has run away to an unspecified place. We don’t even know where he is now. We can’t find him in S Nation, so he’s probably gone abroad. However, we don’t know which nation he had gone to, so I have to send my men to search around for him. On top of that, An Xiaoning is with the DK Organization right now. I must make a trip to R Nation because someone from the Wu family is there now. He’s someone who’s similar to me.”
“What is the Wu family like?”
Xiao Chenyang explained, “They used to be a family of mediums who practice witchcraft and black magic. They had once placed a curse on An Xiaoning and Qingyan. However, they disappeared later all of a sudden and we’ve now found one of their descendants. Their family’s witchcraft and black magic were not passed on to the descendants, though. The person who’s similar to me must know how to place curses. Even if I can’t get any benefits out of him, I mustn’t let him stay alive.”
“Will Sis Xiaoning be alright?” asked Fang Erlan, who felt as if she had just heard an absurd legend.
“Yeah, she said that she’s fine and will be returning home in a few days.”
“Go ahead, then. I won’t tag along, lest I become your burden. I’ll ask Sis Yangyang to send a few bodyguards over to protect me.”
Xiao Chenyang stroked her hair and said, “I really wonder when Qingyan will recover from his disorder.”
“Isn’t he your senior? Why aren’t you addressing him as your senior?”
“I enjoy addressing him by his name instead. I rarely addressed him as ‘Senior’ in the past either. I would only do so whenever Master was around. Well, we’re just too close to each other.”
“I have nothing to say about you.”
Xiao Chenyang kissed her and said, “I’ll leave after the bodyguards are here. Call your Sis Yangyang first and let me talk to her.”
“Alright.”
Fang Erlan grabbed her mobile phone and gave Mei Yangyang a call.
“Sis, Chenyang has something to tell you.”
Mei Yangyang agreed, “Alright.”
Fang Erlan handed the phone to Xiao Chenyang, who then said, “I have something important to handle for the next few days. Hence, I won’t be around to protect Erlan. Send eight of your bodyguards over.”
Fang Erlan immediately interjected, “I don’t need that many bodyguards. Four is enough.”
He countered, “No.” He then said to Mei Yangyang, “You may get them to come here now.”
“Alright, I’ll send them over immediately.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Chenyang ended the call and instructed, “I won’t be at home for the next few days. You must eat and rest well. Once you’re done with work, go home and get some rest. Refrain from using your phone at night. It’d be bad for your eyesight.”
“Got it.”

An Xiaoning felt much more relieved to know that Xiao Chenyang had arrived in R Nation. She hoped that Jin Qingyan could be found as soon as possible.
Throughout the two days that she had been in Mount Qingping, she did not kill time by folding paper cranes. Instead, she practiced yoga on the woolen carpet.
Pei Yi would glance at her periodically while working and watch her practice a plethora of poses. Even though they barely spoke to each other, he found that her presence had allowed him to feel more energized.
“Who’s in charge of the DK Organization now that Xihou Jiaping is gone?”
“He was the founder of the DK Organization. Hence, no one can rise to his position even though he’s no longer around. Will you remarry Jin Qingyan again?” he asked, staring at his computer screen.
An Xiaoning turned around and sat cross-legged on the ground. “Actually, it doesn’t make a difference whether I marry him again or not,” she said while facing him.
She initially wanted to answer him with a firm “Yes.” However, she changed her mind upon being reminded of the curse.
He disagreed, “How could it be the same? Marriage is the only institution that can prove your relationship’s existence. Once you’re married, others will address you as ‘Mrs. Jin’ instead of ‘Ms. An.’”
“We’ll be together anyway.”
Pei Yi asked, “Do you know why I want to keep you here with me?”
“Your life is too boring and you need me to spice things up.”
“An Xiaoning, could you stop being so intelligent?”
“Can’t help it, I was born with it.”
He smiled and said, “That’s not all, actually.”
“What other reasons are there, then?”
“If you’re not in love with someone else, I would want to make you my woman.”
“Don’t you dislike unchaste women? Why would you be interested in me?”
“When a charming woman manages to capture the attention of a man, he wouldn’t bother about the superficial things. Instead, he would focus on who she truly is and what her personality is like. For example, when I look at you, I’ll automatically neglect the fact that you’re no longer a virgin and see you for who you are instead.”
