Fang Erlan lay on the hospital bed and stared at Xiao Chenyang with shifty eyes, feeling extremely uneasy. Due to the fact that they had entered together, the gynecologist assumed straight away that he was Fang Erlan’s boyfriend or husband and, hence, did not make him wait outside.

The gynecologist lifted up Fang Erlan’s shirt and began conducting the checkup on her.

After the checkup, Fang Erlan exited with the slip while Xiao Chenyang stayed behind to ask the gynecologist, “Doctor, she’s not pregnant, is she?”

“No, she isn’t.”

“Thank you, Doctor.”

Fang Erlan returned to the gynecologist’s office with the ultrasound film. After taking a look at the film, the gynecologist said, “All clear. There’s nothing wrong with you. Let’s go there for another checkup.”

The gynecologist pointed at the other room.

Fang Erlan had never undergone a full gynecological checkup before. She entered the room next door together with the gynecologist.

“Lie down and remove your pants.”

Fang Erlan finally realized what this round of checkup was for. A look of dismay formed on her face instantly. Once I lie down, the doctor would find out that I’m still a virgin, wouldn’t she?

“Um, I don’t need to get that checked.”

As soon as she said those words, Xiao Chenyang drew the curtains open and said, “Since you don’t want the doctor to do the check, don’t tell me… you want me to do it instead?”

“Got it.”

Xiao Chenyang put down the curtains while Fang Erlan allowed the gynecologist to proceed.

When they came out of the room, Fang Erlan thought that he would ask the gynecologist if she was still a virgin. To her surprise, he didn’t. So much for discussing with the doctor and getting her to cover up for me beforehand!

For some reason, he seemed to be in high spirits.

Fang Erlan was bewildered.

She did not ask any further questions and headed to Qingyuan Estate together with him.

Upon returning home, Fang Erlan sat on the couch, appearing listless and down. Staring at Xiao Chenyang, who was as happy as a lark, she asked, “Is something wrong with you? Why have you been smiling like an idiot ever since we left the hospital?”

“You lied about there being someone whom you fancy, didn’t you? You said that just to make me leave.”

“No. I do want you to leave, but I didn’t lie about that.”

He nodded and said, “Even if it’s real, so what?”

“Why didn’t you question the doctor at the hospital?”

“Question about what?”

“What do you think I’m referring to?”

“Oh… there’s no need to ask her.”

“Why?”

“Because I overheard your conversation with her very clearly.”

“…”

Fang Erlan gasped in shock and exclaimed, “What!?!”

He inched closer toward her and grabbed her bag, from which he retrieved a listening device.

She had no idea when he had placed it inside her bag.

“You… you…”

“You’re still a virgin. What did you expect the doctor to say? That you’ve already slept with another man? Fang Erlan, you can really lie through your teeth, can’t you?”

Fang Erlan was at a loss for an explanation now that she was exposed.

She felt as if her lips were sealed and she was incapable of speech.

She was overwhelmed with dismay and frustration, because she knew that he definitely wouldn’t leave now that he had found out the truth.

Seemingly having guessed that she was brooding over something, Xiao Chenyang sat up straight and crossed one leg over the other. “There’s no point in fussing and worrying over some matters. There are some things that you can’t change, no matter how hard you try. So don’t bother wasting your efforts.”

“Are you really treating me like this because you care about me?”

“Of course.”

“Will you give up completely if I killed myself?”

“No, because you’ll reincarnate again.”

“You’re a loony…”

“You’d better hide your crush from me. Otherwise, he’ll be in trouble if I find out who he is,” said Xiao Chenyang, keeping his eyes fixed on her.

Fang Erlan stared deep into his eyes and had a moment of epiphany. She realized that there was no way to make him leave unless he wanted to do so himself.

If Xiao Chenyang finds out that Yan Ge is the person I fancy, I’d only be getting Yan Ge implicated.

“Let’s live in harmony.”

“How?” he asked with raised brows.

“I’ll let you continue staying here as my bodyguard, but we have to make an agreement.”

“I’m not going to agree to let you get married, have children, or have a relationship.”

“I knew you would say that. There are three terms to the agreement. Firstly, even if you find out who I like, you’re not to lay a finger on him. Secondly, you’re not allowed to get touchy-feely with me and you’re to refrain from making physical contact with me. Thirdly…”

Before she could even finish, Xiao Chenyang interrupted, “Those are separate issues. I’ll agree to your first term and you must promise to live with me harmoniously. Otherwise, there’s no need to make an agreement.”

Fang Erlan had been passive throughout the negotiation.

She had no choice but to concede.

“By the way, someone who was posing as your brother dropped by for a visit some time ago. I told Xiaoning about it too.”

Xiao Chenyang squinted and asked, “Someone who posed as my brother?”

“Yeah…” Fang Erlan recounted the incident that night and explained it to him in detail. She then said, “Sis told me to tell you not to look him up because of this matter. If not, he’ll know that I was the one who told you about it because he told me to keep it from you before he left that night.”

“Got it.”

“Where have you been for the past few days?”

“I went to settle something important. I’ll be leaving again tomorrow.”

Fang Erlan asked, “Why did you come back today, then?”

“Obviously because I’m worried about you. Do you have any idea how upset you made me earlier today? You’re really skilled at making me angry.”

Fang Erlan felt a little embarrassed at the thought of what she had said to him before.

At the same time, she was reminded of the two-week agreement that she had with Yan Ge, and a sullen expression formed on her face instantly.

“Mo Li, there’s something that I should’ve told you about since this morning. However, I didn’t know how to put it across to you because I had no clue about what happened. We spent the entire morning searching for leads and we finally have a clue now. Hence, I decided to tell you.”

Noticing the austere expression on her face, Mo Li asked worriedly, “Xiaoning, did something happen?”

“Yes, No. 8 has gone missing.”

Mo Li’s face stiffened and she clutched her chest in shock. “What! No. 8 has gone missing!?!”

“Yes, I found out about it this morning, and I finally found some clues after investigating for the entire morning. Has No. 8 ever told you anything about Y Nation?”

Shaking her head, Mo Li answered, “He never did.”

“We’ve found out that he was abducted by Princess Nicole of Y Nation. She’s Byron’s cousin and the only daughter that her parents have. She’s extremely spoiled and pampered. I have no idea why she abducted No. 8, though.”

“Xiaoning, you must help me save No. 8,” said Mo Li, who had turned as pale as a sheet.

“Of course, I’m not going to sit back and do nothing. No matter what, I’m going to do my best to bring him home,” said An Xiaoning, who was trying to placate her feelings.

Mo Li nodded, and tears welled up in her eyes.
