“Sure.”
“Alright, go get some rest. You must be dead beat.”
Fang Erlan nodded and said, “Don’t tire yourself out either, Director.”
On the way back to the hotel, Fang Erlan and Xiao Yue almost fell asleep in the nanny van.
They were dog tired.
Once they arrived at the hotel, they alighted the nanny van with an umbrella in hand and scurried toward the lobby.
When they entered the elevator, Xiao Yue asked, “Sis, what would you like to have for breakfast?”
“Sleep in and get more rest. You don’t have to specially buy breakfast for me. I’ll go eat something when I wake up.”
“Sure.”
Once she returned to her room, Fang Erlan lay in bed immediately, not having the energy to even take a shower.
At this moment, she felt something moving beneath the thin blanket.
Fang Erlan immediately sprung up and lifted the blanket, only to receive a great shock. She held her breath, and her eyes widened in astonishment as she let out a shriek of terror before running out of her room. She then frantically slammed her hand against Yan Ge’s door.
Yan Ge was jolted awake and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s a snake on my bed…”
Yan Ge immediately headed to her room with Fang Erlan and discovered that there was a red snake lying sluggishly on her bed. He immediately called the hotel staff to get rid of the snake.
There’s no way a snake would appear out of the blue, unless it was placed there intentionally. Who was the one who did it?
The management staff of the hotel declared that they would make a detailed investigation about the incident and promised to give her an explanation.
Fang Erlan’s sleepiness vanished and she dared not sleep on that bed again.
The management staff thus arranged for her to move into another room. She initially stayed in room 804 while Yan Ge stayed in 802. The supporting actor and actress stayed in the rooms opposite. She was now moved to room 808, which was two rooms away from Yan Ge’s.
However, Fang Erlan was frightened out of her senses. Animals like snakes that had no spines were her greatest fear.
After moving her belongings to the new room, she took a shower and forced herself to go to sleep while still shell-shocked and fearful.
She suddenly woke up at nine o’clock in the morning. Fang Erlan put on her clothes and headed downstairs for breakfast. At the same time, she decided to check on the progress of the investigation.
There were surveillance cameras in the corridors of the hotel, and anyone who entered her room would have definitely been caught on camera.
When she inquired about the situation from the front desk, she thought that the staff would tell her who the trespasser was. After all, the key card was required to unlock the door.
Yet, the staff at the front desk told her that the snake had crawled into her room from the balcony.
Fang Erlan refused to believe their explanation because she would make a conscious effort to close the balcony door shut every single day. Besides, her room was on the eighth floor. How could the snake have possibly climbed so high?
It was obvious that something was fishy.
“Were you guys bribed?”
The staff immediately answered, “This concerns our hotel’s reputation. We definitely wouldn’t accept bribes.”
Fang Erlan was not convinced at all and instead decided to tell Mei Yangyang about the matter right away.
Mei Yangyang instructed her to wait patiently for her to arrive.
Fang Erlan was relieved to hear her words.
She then headed to the buffet restaurant to have her breakfast. She carried her food on the tray and walked toward the table. Just as she set it down, Jing Shui handed her a glass of juice.
“Thank you.”
Jing Shui sat down beside her and said, “No problem.”
“I discovered a red snake on my bed when I returned to my room last night.”
“Did you get injured?” Jing Shui asked with a sullen expression.
Fang Erlan explained, “No. I felt something moving beneath the blanket after lying down. I then lifted the blanket to take a look. I’ve already moved into another room. The manager of the hotel said that they would be giving me an explanation after investigating it thoroughly. However, when I asked them about it this morning, they claimed that the snake had crawled into my room from the balcony. It’s complete nonsense. I’ve already closed the windows and balcony door. I suspect that someone had trespassed my room and left the snake inside. But who could’ve possibly gotten a hold of the key card to my room?”
“Why didn’t you get the hotel to show you the surveillance camera footages last night?”
“I did, but the manager said that it was already the wee hours of the night and that they would check the footage when daybreak arrives. I thought their excuse was reasonable too. However, I’ve already informed Sis Yangyang about this. She said that she’ll be making a trip here today. I won’t take this lying down.”
Jing Shui nodded and said, “That goes without saying. You’ll only be giving the perpetrator another chance to harm you if you don’t pursue the matter. Have your breakfast first, I’m heading to the film set now.”
“Alright, go ahead,” said Fang Erlan, who continued to eat alone. Before she even finished her food, she received a text message from Yan Ge, who asked her to go to his room, claiming that he had something to tell her.
She replied that she had yet to get out of bed.
Soon after, she received Yan Ge’s reply: “Little liar, who’s the person eating in the restaurant right now, then?”
Fang Erlan hurriedly scanned her surroundings and caught sight of Yan Ge, who was standing outside the glass.
Feeling a little ashamed to have her lie be exposed, Fang Erlan frantically replied: “What are you looking for me for?”
“Something major. You’ll find out later.”
She put down her mobile phone and thought to herself that it must be something important. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have looked her up.
She returned to the eighth floor after having her fill and pressed the doorbell of his room.
“What’s the matter?” she asked.
Yan Ge closed the door and said, “Give me a massage.”
Fang Erlan stopped in her tracks and said, “Didn’t I already say that I won’t give you any more massages in the future? Did you forget what I said?”
“I didn’t forget, but how could you go back on your word?”
“Why don’t you get your fiancée to massage you? At the same time, you’ll get to nurture your feelings for each other.”
“I don’t want to trouble her.”
Fang Erlan rolled her eyes and questioned in a hostile manner, “So you think it’s alright to trouble me?”
“Yes.”
Slightly peeved, she refused, “I’m not massaging you. I’m going to go back to my room to catch up on sleep.”
Just as she returned to her initial position, he approached her slowly and questioned, “Are you trying to go back on your word and break your promise?”
“I’m doing this for your own good. You’re already engaged now. As the lead actor and actress of the television series, we ought to know our limits when it comes to physical contact outside of filming.”
“It’s just a back and shoulder massage, what limits are we supposed to follow? Do you have too little faith in yourself and fear that you would fall for me or do you think that I’ll be attracted to you?” he said coldly.
“I didn’t think that way. Don’t jump to conclusions.”
He smirked and slowly forced her toward the wall. “Since that’s not what you think, what are you so concerned about?”
“You’re right, I’m just scared that you’ll fall in love with me because of how charming I am,” Fang Erlan said in annoyance.
“W… what?” Yan Ge questioned in surprise. Despite him being a veteran actor who had seen countless beautiful yet capable actresses, it was his first encounter with such a bold woman.
“I’m not blind.”
Pouting her lips, Fang Erlan said, “Let’s just put an end to the massages. There’s only a while more to go before filming ends anyway. We won’t be meeting each other much either since we’ll both be busy with our own lives. You’ll be busy preparing for your wedding while I’ll be busy with my next television drama series or film. That’s great.”
“You’re only going to taint your reputation by going back on your words.”
Fang Erlan took a deep breath and barked, “Climb onto the bed!”
Yan Ge turned around and walked inside upon realizing that he had successfully coerced her into giving in.
