“How revolting. Don’t you ever take a look in the mirror? Don’t you know how ugly you are? Get lost!”

“You’re hideous. Seriously, can you at least go under the knife? Do you have any self-awareness at all?”

“You’re just a minor actress who’s a n.o.body in the s...o...b..z industry. How dare you have the cheek to get yourself involved with my Yan Ge? Are your brains fried? I can’t believe you even announced your relations.h.i.+p yourself. If you’re so eager, why don’t you just implode and die?”

“What a r.e.t.a.r.d. I can’t believe Yan Ge is dating a woman like you. I suddenly realized that all of Yan Ge’s rumored girlfriends from the past are a million times prettier than the swine that you are! Just what kind of a horrible crossbreed are you?”

…

Fang Erlan’s spirits were instantly dampened by the endless string of malicious comments.

Her mobile phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed away.

“Stop reading them,” said Xiao Chenyang, who exited the Weibo page on her mobile phone.

Fang Erlan stared out of the window quietly.

The scenes were to be filmed in the evening. Thus, upon arriving at the location, everyone proceeded to get some rest in the resting room before filming was to begin for the day.

Since their relations.h.i.+p had already been exposed, Yan Ge no longer had to keep it clandestine.

He had lots to say to Fang Erlan. Thus, he pulled Fang Erlan away to a corner in plain sight.

Xiao Yue stood beside Xiao Chenyang. Although she knew that Xiao Chenyang was not Fang Erlan’s cousin, she could not kick her habit of calling him “Cousin.” She asked, “Cousin, when did they begin dating each other?”

“You’re around her every day and yet you have no idea. What makes you think I would be aware?”

Noticing that he was walking away, Xiao Yue asked, “Cousin, where are you going?”

He did not answer her and left straight away.

Yan Ge brought Fang Erlan to the room next door and asked, “Who do you think had hacked your account?”

“It must be someone from the production unit. It’s very likely to be Co-director Li. However, I’m not a hundred percent sure. Regardless of who it may be, we’ll just have to take it in our stride.”

Noticing that she seemed to be in low spirits, he grabbed her hand and said, “Don’t bother reading those comments on Weibo. They’re all just a bunch of keyboard warriors. Don’t be affected by their words. They don’t understand what kind of person you are at all, so you mustn’t listen to what they say.”

“I know.” She shook her head and continued, “I’m alright, it’s not the first time that this has happened anyway. I’ve gotten used to being castigated.”

“Actually, it’s a blessing in disguise. We’ll no longer have to hide our relations.h.i.+p from now on. On the bright side, we can date each other openly. Think positive,” Yan Ge said in a tender voice.

Fang Erlan looked up at him. She completely agreed with what he had said about it being a blessing in disguise.

Isn’t it great that we no longer have to hide from the paparazzi and can now date openly?

But why is that I can’t seem to feel happy about it at all?

Long Xiaoxi tiptoed toward Jin Yiheng’s bedroom and pushed the door open gently. She peeked inside to see that Jin Yiheng was still taking an afternoon nap.

She entered without hesitation.

She walked toward his bed and placed the drawing that she was holding beside his bed. She then climbed onto the bed and bent forward to kiss Jin Yiheng. However, she was too rough with the kiss and woke him up.

“Xiaoxi…”

Feeling embarra.s.sed about being exposed, Long Xiaoxi turned red immediately and got out of bed swiftly. Pointing at the drawing, she said, “This is the birthday present that I had made for you.”

She then skipped out of the room merrily.

Jin Yiheng rubbed his eyes and sat up straight. He picked up the painting to see that it was an ill.u.s.tration of a boy and a girl who resembled himself and Long Xiaoxi, respectively. However, her sketch was true to her appearance and she did appear as round as she did in real life. Although it was a simple drawing, he could tell that she had put in a great ton of effort into drawing it.

She had even scribbled some words on the side — “Yiheng, Happy Birthday.”

After staring at the drawing for a long while, he folded it neatly and stowed it away in the drawer of his desk.

He got out of bed and tiptoed toward his parents’ bedroom.

Upon the sight of Jin Qingyan leaning against the bed and reading a book by himself, Jin Yiheng entered and said, “Daddy, you didn’t give me any presents for my birthday. Even Xiaoxi gave me a present.”

In other words, he meant that Jin Qingyan was worse than Long Xiaoxi.

Jin Qingyan glared at him and asked, “What present do you want?”

Thinking that Jin Qingyan was about to buy him a present, Jin Yiheng immediately said, “I want the latest remote-controlled toy car.”

“Isn’t rescuing you already a present? What else do you want?”

His words were like a wet blanket to Jin Yiheng. A sullen expression formed on his face, and he instantly understood that his father was simply asking a rhetorical question.

He turned around to leave. As soon as he did, Jin Qingyan asked, “Since you’ve sprained your ankle, why aren’t you resting in bed?”

Jin Yiheng turned around and exclaimed in disgruntlement, “I’m going to go online to sign Mommy up for some matchmaking sessions so that she can find me another Daddy!”

Jin Qingyan put his book away and glowered at him. “Come here.”

Jin Yiheng remained still and taunted, “Why must I go over just because you told me to? Why should I?”

“Because I’m your father.”

“Are you allowed to be a tyrant just because you’re my father? Does your father know how domineering you are?”

That rascal!

“Come here,” Jin Qingyan said sternly.

“No.”

He lifted the duvet in a bid to get out of bed. Bearing with the pain in his ankle, Jin Yiheng scurried out of the room and yelled, “Mommy, Daddy is going to hit me!”

“What’s wrong, baby?” asked An Xiaoning, who had just reached the door.

“Mommy, you’re finally here. Look, Daddy is about to get out of bed to hit me! Mommy, you must uphold justice for me!” Jin Yiheng complained while hugging her.

An Xiaoning caressed his head and said, “Okay, okay, Mommy will give you justice.”

She then walked into the bedroom and said to Jin Qingyan, who was lying on the bed. “Your calf is already injured and yet you’re still getting funny ideas. What are you trying to do? If you want to hit our son, you’ll have to get past me first!”

Seeing that they were ganging up against him, Jin Qingyan explained, “I wasn’t trying to hit him.”

“What were you trying to do, then?”

“I was trying to… have a heart-to-heart talk with him and share some secrets with him. That’s all,” he said softly.

“…”

An Xiaoning looked down and said to her son, “Rongyan is playing in the backyard, go play with him.”

“Okay,” Jin Yiheng answered delightedly. He then smiled at his father smugly and exited the room immediately.

Once he left, An Xiaoning kissed Jin Qingyan and asked, “Would you like to go out to take a breather?”

“Alright.”

An Xiaoning helped him up and headed downstairs together with him.

They took a seat on the bench at the patio.

She then brought two gla.s.ses of juice over and placed them on the table beside him. At this time, the sun’s heat had already become less intense and it was rather cooling.

As soon as they sat down, they were approached by Yu Yiwei from afar.

An Xiaoning held the gla.s.s in her hand and drank some juice with a straw.

“Mr. Jin, Ms. An.”

An Xiaoning smiled and said, “You’re here. I’ll have to make a trip to B City later to find out more about Qingyan’s condition. Come with me, will you, Ms. Yu?”
