Chapter 1007: Perplexed and Smitten (67)

The exhibition opened today, and the media reporters were conducting a live-stream of the showcased corpse, which was the most well-preserved one amongst all of those that had been found from ancient graves.

There was a huge turnout at the exhibition, with swarms of visitors vying to take a glimpse, including Fang Erlan, who had just finished moving in the afternoon.

Fang Erlan only decided to visit the museum to take a look at the exhibition after hearing about it on the news last night. There were several other tourists like her.

She and her assistant Xiao Yue entered the museum again after purchasing tickets.

“Sis, this is the first time in my life that I’m visiting a museum. What a fresh experience.”

“Me too. We came today with the sole purpose of viewing the centuries-old female corpse. It should be over there, let’s go take a look.”

“Okay.”

The two of them walked toward the crowd and discovered that there was a snake-like queue.

Fang Erlan was looking forward to seeing the corpse, and she eagerly wanted to find out if the corpse was in the same condition as mentioned in the news.

After they’d been waiting for half an hour, it was finally their turn to view the corpse.

Fang Erlan craned her neck and looked toward the railing.

She shrieked in shock the moment she saw the appearance of the female corpse. “Xiao Yue, look, it looks just like a real person. Has she really been dead for centuries?”

“Of course it’s real. I didn’t expect that ancient preservation techniques would be so potent. This girl is so beautiful,” Xiao Yue exclaimed.

“I think so too.” Fang Erlan scanned the corpse from head to toe, thinking to herself that she had gotten her money’s worth.

Her initial intention was only to view the corpse anyway. Thus, they left shortly after looking at the exhibit.

The museum had an eerie vibe and was rather chilly, unlike the hot and humid weather outside.

“Sis, where are we going now?”

“Nowhere. Let’s go home. I’ve been resting lately. Soon I won’t be able to rest much anymore.”

“I didn’t sleep well last night.”

“Why?”

“I spent the whole of last night engaging in a keyboard war with your haters. If the government enforces a rule whereby all netizens are not allowed to remain anonymous and instead have to state clearly their actual name and address, who’d still dare to be so brazen with their malicious comments online? Some women may seem innocent and demure on the surface, but their evil side shows when they’re hiding behind the screen and berating others online. That’s all because they have the choice to remain anonymous.”

“You battled them for the entire night? How are you so free? Don’t bother getting yourself upset and infuriated at night or you’ll hinder yourself from getting enough rest,” said Fang Erlan.

“She was just too vicious and callous. I couldn’t stand her haughty ways at all.”

Noticing how indignant Xiao Yue was, Fang Erlan said, “Simmer down. There’s an ice cream parlor over there, let’s go get some.”

The two of them got inside the nanny van after buying some ice cream and embarked on their journey home.

Shortly after they arrived at the estate, the air conditioner and refrigerator that they had purchased in the morning were delivered to her doorstep.

The temperature in the apartment was cooled down soon after they switched on the brand new air conditioner. Fang Erlan said, “I made the payment for this apartment last night and received the passcode to the door. All the necessary arrangements have been made too. I finally have a house of my own now.”

“Sis, housing is getting so expensive nowadays. Your two-bedder costs more than three million dollars, yet it’s not exactly spacious either. I can probably never afford one for the rest of my life.”

“Three million is considered to be rather cheap. After all, it’s a secondhand apartment. According to the current market prices, brand new ones are going to cost at least 40 to 50 thousand dollars per square meter.”

Xiao Yue helped her tidy the rooms and said, “I doubt I can buy one on my own. I just hope that my future husband owns a house. That way, I won’t have to worry about having a roof over my head anymore.”

“You’re right. Having a house is a basic need that must be fulfilled before marriage nowadays.”

“But Sis, aren’t you and Yan Ge going to install grilles in the windows of your balconies? Although the balcony is rather large and high, I still think it’s better to be safe.”

“The balcony railing is about a meter high. It won’t be that easy to fall over. I think it’s better not to install any window grilles. When autumn comes, I shall place a couch on the balcony and enjoy the breeze at night. If I get married in the future and live here with my husband, I’ll definitely have to install some grilles. After all, it’d be dangerous for children.”

“Sis, you definitely wouldn’t get married early. Look at all the celebrities right now, they’re all getting married and bearing children at a later age. You’ll probably only get married in your thirties.”

“I’m actually... not that career-minded. However, I wonder if Sis Yangyang and Sis Xiaoning are going to reprimand me if they hear me saying this,” she said with a smile.

Xiao Yue said, “No, no, I think they’ll definitely beat you to death straight away. It’s tough pushing an artiste to fame. I’m sure you’ll drive them to their graves if you end up being successful and get married at the peak of your career.”

“Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. I don’t even have a boyfriend now, let alone a fiancé.”

Xiao Yue put the broom aside and said softly, “Sis Erlan, isn’t now a good timing?”

Seemingly having understood what she meant, Fang Erlan said straight away, “We’re incompatible in terms of socio-economic background. It’s impossible between us.”

“Why are you so pessimistic? What’s wrong with being incompatible in terms of background? The royals of other countries are starting to marry commoners too. Can his family be compared to the royals? Sis Erlan, actually, I could already tell long ago,” Xiao Yue said in puzzlement.

“What could you tell?”

“That you fancy Yan Ge.”

“Which eye of yours told you so?”

Xiao Yue chuckled and said, “Both of them. The media doesn’t seem to know about you moving into the apartment opposite his yet. When the news gets out, his fans are going to be so jealous of you.”

“More like drown me in their castigations. They’re definitely going to call me a scheming bitch and accuse me of purchasing the apartment opposite his on purpose. Those haters are going to fire their malicious comments at me like a machine gun. I’m afraid I can’t keep this under wraps for too long and it’s going to be exposed on the news very soon.”

Noticing that she had closed her eyes, Xiao Yue asked, “Sis Erlan, are you sleepy?”

“Yes, a little.”

“Go take a nap, then.”

“There’s nothing for us to do now anyway. Xiao Yue, you should go back too. Get some rest while things are not too busy yet.”

“Yes! I’m going home now then, Sis Erlan.”

“Alright,” Fang Erlan answered with her eyes closed.

It’s warm...

So warm...

So, so warm...

It’s seriously so warm...

Fang Erlan was puzzled about why it was so warm when she remembered clearly that the air conditioner was switched on.

She sat up straight, only to discover that she was in a steamer, causing her to shriek in terror and leap off of it.

Am I getting steamed alive?

“Hah... idiot,” a man’s voice filled her ears.

Who’s that?

Who’s talking to me?

Fang Erlan turned her head around and scanned her surroundings, only to see that there was no one else around.

All of a sudden, she was hugged tightly by a buff figure. “Who’s there!?! Let go of me!”

Try as she might, Fang Erlan could not move at all. She felt a hand wandering about her body incessantly.
