“Ah, I’m really ashamed of myself. I’d originally thought that I can be considered quite pretty. Who would have thought? After seeing pictures of these women, I find that I really can’t hold a candle to them. Isn’t that right, Mr. Xiao?”

Her efforts were, however, completely unnecessary in the eyes of Xiao Chenyang.

“You must be hoping that I’ll pick one of these participants. Because then, you’ll be free, right?”

“Of course I hope… that you’ll find someone you truly like.”

“I think you want to go on Mount Wanyan to live and never get out of there.”

When she heard his words, Fang Erlan’s heart went to her mouth. That damn place, she never wanted to return there!

“No, no, no. Definitely not. Alright, alright. Let’s not look at these pictures anymore. What’s there to see? They’re just a bunch of ordinary grass, how could they possibly catch the eye of our Mr. Xiao? I’m afraid, amongst so many people, there’ll probably be hardly any woman who can capture the attention of Chief Fan.”

With that, Fang Erlan took her phone back from him and laughed dryly.

Xiao Chenyang remarked, “Today’s a special occasion. Get changed into your prettiest outfit and doll yourself up. We’ll be going to the museum.”

“What on earth are we going there for? Is there another new exhibition at the museum?”

He did not answer her but stood up and went back into the bedroom.

Seeing how he was insistent on going, Fang Erlan knew there was no way she could stop him. She had no choice but to switch off her phone and stand up as well.

Glancing at the clothes in her wardrobe, Fang Erlan cast a side glance at Xiao Chenyang and remarked, “All my clothes are pretty to me. Pick one out for me, then.”

He went forward and browsed through them casually, then finally took out a long white dress to pass to her. “This one.”

Fang Erlan took the dress from him and pointed to the door. “You, go out first. I’ll change.”

“Do you think I won’t know how your body looks like just because I’m outside?”

Fang Erlan’s mouth was agape. “You’re despicable! Get out!”

He turned and actually went out, closing the door behind him.

Fang Erlan went to lock the door from the inside and could finally rest assured and change into her dress.

After forty minutes, she finally emerged from the bedroom. Xiao Chenyang was watching the television, and Fang Erlan had thought that his eyes would brighten upon seeing her all dolled up. However, he did not even cast a single glance at her.

Yet, she did not take it to heart as well. “Aren’t we going to the museum? What are you waiting for? Come on, let’s go.”

Xiao Chenyang turned to look at her. “I’ll go and change as well. You’re more than welcome to join me to see the whole process.”

“No… I don’t care for it at all…”Visit website our Listnovel.com

As compared to her dolling up process, which lasted for forty minutes, he took a mere three minutes to re-emerge from the bedroom.

Fang Erlan watched him in an alarmed manner and had her hand placed on her chin as she asked, “Brother, it’s 34 degrees Celsius today. Are you sure you’re going out in this red robe…? Do you really not feel warm?”

With an indifferent look, he replied, “No, I’m used to it.”

Fang Erlan did not think too much of it either, since it had been more than just one or two days since she had been around this unusual man.

When they went downstairs together, she watched as he headed toward a white luxury car and hurriedly shouted to him, “Why are you going to someone else’s car? My nanny van is here.”

He paused in his tracks and replied to her, “Come here, this is my car.”

Fang Erlan went to the front of the car and saw a temporary license plate placed there. There were red ribbons tied onto the rear mirror and car wheels.

“4.56 million dollars. Hop on.”

“Oh.” She went around the front of the car and got onto the front passenger seat, fastening her safety belt thereafter.

When the car drove out of Qingyuan Estate, it just happened to go past Yan Ge’s car, which was entering the estate.

For some reason, although she knew that Yan Ge wasn’t the one driving the car, she still could not help but turn her face to the car window. Only then would she not be spotted by Yan Ge.

In reality, Yan Ge truly had not spotted her.

Xiao Chenyang did not notice this movement of hers, and he concentrated on driving.

After being stuck in traffic on the streets for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the museum.

When the car was pulling over at the entrance of the museum, Fang Erlan stretched her head out to look and asked him, “There’s no new exhibition today, why did you bring me here?”

“Must there be a new exhibition for one to come here?” His throat moved a little, and it appeared as if he was hesitating to say what he had on his mind. “Get off.”

“Is it alright to park the car here? Do you want to park the car further inside?”

Hearing him say this, Fang Erlan had no choice but to sling her bag over her shoulder and alight from the car.

Since no one recognized her anyway, she entered the museum together with him openly.

This was her second time visiting this place.

As compared to the previous time when it was bustling with people, it was much less crowded this time.

“There was an exhibition last time. Xiao Yue and I came to see that female corpse that has been preserved for centuries. Do you know about that?”

As she spoke about this, Fang Erlan was still impressed by it and exclaimed, “The woman has been dead for so many years. I wonder how they preserved her corpse. It didn’t have any sign of decomposition or smell at all. It was as if the woman had just fallen asleep. I was completely astonished!”

“Usually, keeping a corpse well maintained for so long would have been achieved by both the external and internal environments working together. The environment where the corpse is placed has to be ideal; meanwhile, there has to be a chemical placed in the corpse to also prevent it from decomposing. That’s how it can be maintained for such a long time.”

“It goes to show that those who buried the corpse had paid a lot of attention.” Fang Erlan complimented, “I’m afraid that in today’s society, corpses can’t be preserved as well as that corpse had been preserved. But the ancient people actually achieved it.”

Two staff members in the museum went forward to greet, “May I know if you’re Mr. Xiao?”

“You may now take it away with you.”

Fang Erlan was perplexed. Take away? What was he taking away?

She then followed Xiao Chenyang further inside the museum, where the staff members brought them before a glass coffin.

Fang Erlan gazed at the female corpse inside the coffin that had been preserved for centuries and asked Xiao Chenyang in alarm, “Don’t tell me, you’re taking this corpse away?”

Fang Erlan felt like she could not catch her breath and was at a loss for words. She knew that he was an unusual person who did many perplexing things. It might have had something to do with how ridiculous a person he was. But, at this point, there was a question that was burning within her! What on earth was he taking a corpse back for?! To make it his wife?

Was this what a normal person would do?

“Why? Tell me the reason.”

He did not answer and fixed his warm gaze at the corpse inside the coffin. He watched as the staff members placed the petite body inside a specially-made coffin, then carried it away.

Fang Erlan and Xiao Chenyang followed the staff members and went out through the entrance of the museum.

When they stood before the door of his car, Xiao Chenyang ignored Fang Erlan’s exclamations and opened the car door, taking the female corpse out of the coffin and placing it at the front passenger seat.

That’s right, he had placed it at the front passenger seat.

“Where do I sit?” Fang Erlan asked.

As this car was a two-seater, there was only a small storage area behind the front seats. However, there wasn’t much room, and the area was about half the size of one front seat. She contemplated to herself: Since Xiao Chenyang had placed the female corpse at the front passenger seat, was he going to make her squeeze at the back?
