She woke up again to find that she was no longer sleepy and that there was a warm body next to her. She could not help but chuckle at the thought of the dream she had.
She hugged him quietly while his unique scent wafted up to her nose. She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having him beside her.
She really wished that time would stop in its tracks at this very moment.
It was already daybreak by the time Jin Qingyan woke up.
An Xiaoning was no longer beside him, and he had no idea where she had gone.
After taking a look at the time on his watch, he quickly got up to get dressed.
An Xiaoning got a great shock the moment she saw him coming down from the spiral staircase during breakfast.
Jin Qingyan was wearing a pink short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt and a white cropped-ankle trousers. He had a hand inside his pocket while strutting down the stairs slowly.
He walked toward her and knocked his knuckle onto her forehead. “Are you enchanted by me?”
“No, I just rarely see you in pink.”
“Do I look good?”
“Yes,” she answered truthfully. She then eagerly said, “Do you know what I dreamed of last night?”
“How would I know if you don’t tell me?”
An Xiaoning stirred her porridge with a spoon and said softly, “I had an erotic dream last night.”
“Didn’t you get enough last night?” he asked.
“Of course I did, but it was a dream of me doing it in my previous lifetime… with you.”
“Tell me the process, I want to hear it.”
“You really do?”
“Are you going to tell me or not?”
“I am.” She simply could not hide anything from him.
An Xiaoning told him about the scenario in her dream last night while having breakfast. She even included the conversation they had in the dream. Before Jin Qingyan could express his opinion, she said, “Look, the way you talk in your previous lifetime is so similar to the way you do now.”
“Was I better in bed in my previous lifetime, or am I better now?”
“Are you getting jealous of your previous incarnate?”
Not distracted by her words at all, he prompted, “Answer me seriously, don’t digress.”
“You’re better now.”
“Does that mean you think I was bad in bed in my previous lifetime? Was that why you left me and refused to see me even until I died?”
An Xiaoning said, “I was wrong. You were great in bed in your previous lifetime, you’re bad now.”
“Does that mean you were lying to me when you said you felt good last night?” Jin Qingyan questioned teasingly.
An Xiaoning felt at a loss for an explanation. “Why are you being so difficult?”
“You’re right…”
“You even got jealous of yourself. You’re petty and hopeless. How did I even fall in love with you?”
“You were blind.”
She could not retort.
After breakfast, An Xiaoning headed to Bei Qi’s house.
It was a solitary house, which was meant for Bei Qi to carry out his experiments.
Bei Qi did not say anything upon seeing her and instead handed her a vial of chemical. “This is a chemical that has longer-lasting effects of up to two weeks,” he explained.
She took it from his hand and said, “It’s been hard on you. Inform Chief Fan if you need anything.”
“Got it.”
“I have a question for you. Could you answer me truthfully?”
“Please speak, Ms. An.”
“You used to work for Pei Yi. Why didn’t he use this method when he made Xu Baizhi bring me back to R Nation back then? Wouldn’t it have been easier to control me that way?”
“I’m not too sure about the exact situation in DK and I only know a little about their operations. We’ve already been researching and trying to formulate this technology for a long time, though we only succeeded in the recent months. Coincidentally, this type of chemical was yet to be concocted when DK used you as a hostage for negotiation with S Nation. However… there are several other people who can create such chemicals. I’m not the only one. I believe some of the chemists working for him must have already formulated it successfully. However, I trust that he won’t put it to inappropriate uses. Otherwise, it’s going to bring about several fatalities. I’m sure they’re clear about that fact.”
“Since you can create such chemicals, could you also create an antidote for it?”
“You mean, you want me to create a chemical that can hinder the effects of the manipulating chemical?” Bei Qi asked.
“Yes.”
“I’ll begin researching on that next.”
She smiled and said, “Go ahead and continue with your work, then. I won’t disturb you any further.”
“Alright.”

“Here, Ms. Fang,” Xin Min said with a smile, handing her a cup of coffee that she had just bought.
“No, thank you, I’ll have tea instead,” Fang Erlan answered, also smiling.
Xin Min stuffed it into her hands and said, “Hold it. Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”
Fang Erlan handed it back to her and said, “I really don’t need it, thank you.”
Yan Ge interrupted coldy, “Forget it if she doesn’t want any.”
Xin Min then took the cup of coffee away and handed it to Xiao Li.
Fang Erlan stood up and stretched her back. Pretending not to be awkward at all, she turned around and strode toward Jing Tian.
Xiao Yue hurriedly followed her, after which they both disappeared out of Xin Min’s sight. Xin Min sat down beside Yan Ge and asked. “I read on the news that Ms. Fang is the only artiste signed to An Xiaoning’s and Mei Yangyang’s entertainment studio. Is that true?”
“That seems to be the case.”
“You celebrities often have a restricted private life. Are the rumors about her and Jing Yang true?”
Yan Ge looked at her and said, “Didn’t she already explain before that they’re false?”
“But many of his fans don’t seem to believe her clarification.”
“It’s impossible to please everybody.”
Slightly startled, Xin Min kept quiet and did not say anything further.
….
“Director, Sis Xiaoning will drop by later.”
“When would she be arriving?” Jing Tian asked.
“She said that she’s already on the way and would be arriving soon.”
“Okay, good timing. I have something to discuss with Ms. An.”
Xiao Yue said to Fang Erlan softly, “Sis, you did the right thing by turning down the coffee that Ms. Xin had offered you.”
“Why?”
“I’ve been contemplating whether I should tell you this or not, but I was worried that you would think that I’m being nosy and get upset at me.” Xiao Yue leaned closer toward her and whispered, “Ms. Xin was there too when you were rehearsing your lines with Yan Ge. Do you remember that?”
Fang Erlan nodded and said, “Of course I do. What’s up?”
“I noticed something really terrifying about the way that she was looking at you. I initially thought that I saw wrongly, but I took another few glances and confirmed that my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me. Maybe she really didn’t mean any harm and maybe I was just overthinking. She does seem very kind and gentle. However, I have a hunch that she’s not exactly fond of the idea of you being close to Yan Ge. It upsets her to see you two rehearsing your lines too.”
“Forget it, I won’t rehea.r.s.e my lines together with him anymore from now on. We’ll just memorize our lines on our own and start filming straight away.”
“Sis Erlan, you’ve already stopped talking to him completely. Didn’t you guys chat with each other rather often in the past? You used to even give him ma.s.sages. You two have become so distant now.”
