The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Chapter 925: A Million Times for You (287)

She had stopped giving Yan Ge massages and would make sure not to have any contact with him outside of filming. In fact, she had even stopped talking to him in private, for fear that they would attract unwanted gossip.

She could not help but feel embarrassed whenever she recalled the time when she added a kiss scene on her own.

She got rid of all her inappropriate emotions and feelings.

However, she had been ill at ease ever since the incident about the snake.

Although everything that had happened were all rather trivial, Fang Erlan was plagued with an inexplicable feeling of fear and bizarreness when she joined the pieces together.

She felt like she was bound to meet with lots of obstacles.

The temperatures were burning in the summer, especially since they were clothed in the thick layers of the ancient costumes, which were wrapped tightly around them. Fang Erlan’s makeup would melt after each scene’s filming.

Thus, she had to have her makeup touched up continually.

Xiao Yue arrived back on set with some tea and ice cream, which she then distributed to all the crew members, according to Fang Erlan’s instructions.

Fang Erlan only drank some tea, although she really yearned to have a cold treat. However, she had to avoid cold and spicy foods as far as possible because they were harmful toward her spleen and stomach, both of which weren’t in the best conditions.

She held the teacup in her hands and scrolled through the discussion forums while watching the rest of the team enjoy their ice cream under the blazing weather.

Jing Shui would chat with her whenever he was free. Being a humorous and outgoing chap, he never failed to crack Fang Erlan up.

They sat together and began chatting incessantly. All of a sudden, Jing Shui mentioned her Weibo page and said, “I saw your follower count on Weibo increase by another tens of thousands. Bravo.”

Fang Erlan chuckled and said, “That’s nothing to be proud of. Look at other celebrities, they have tens of millions of followers. I can’t hold a candle to them at all.”

“You’ll be able to once the television series begins airing. It’s yet to go on screen and there’s still a majority of the audience who don’t know you yet.” He then lowered his voice and asked, “By the way, Jing Yang somehow got my brother’s mobile number and even took the initiative to contact him. Jing Yang said that he was willing to star as a cameo in the television series for free.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah, my brother finds it strange too, especially since he’s an A-list actor and has never interacted with my brother before. Yet, he actually offered to make a cameo appearance. Doesn’t that seem strange? He said that he would be coming by this afternoon and even said that he had freed up his schedule to come here.”

“I don’t want to talk about him, he’s so annoying. He seems to be a decent person on the surface but his true personality is a far cry from his appearance,” Fang Erlan said in open frankness.

“Speak of the devil. He’s coming.”

Fang Erlan looked over to see that it was indeed so.

Jing Yang was wearing a pair of shades and was clad in a fashionable outfit while sauntering in with his manager and assistant, who were following closely behind. He was putting on the airs of a mega-celebrity.

Jing Shui stood up and greeted Jing Yang while smiling. The latter reciprocated and struck a polite conversation with Jing Shui.

“Isn’t this Ms. Fang?” said Jing Shui.

Fang Erlan leaned back against the chair and closed her eyes, as if she did not hear him at all.

Jing Shui pursed his lips while Jing Yang sat down in the spot that Jing Shui was sitting on previously, clearly wanting to have a chat with Fang Erlan.

“Ms. Fang, I heard that you’ve been a fan of mine for years. Shouldn’t you be elated to finally meet your idol?”

Fang Erlan opened her eyes and said, “I’m sorry, I have no idea who you heard it from but I don’t have such a hypocritical idol like you who acts completely different in private compared to the image you portray to the public.”

Jing Shui hurriedly left the scene, feeling extremely awkward.

“Don’t be mistaken, I didn’t run a background check on you. Your former classmate was the one who left me a comment that I happened to chance upon. She said that you used to paste posters of me all over the walls of your dormitory room. Tsk, tsk, you really bear grudges, don’t you? I was just in a bad mood on the day that I filmed a commercial with Yan Ge. That explains my poor attitude.”

“Well… can you sit over there instead? Don’t sit so close to me. Your attitude has nothing to do with me, stop involving me in your publicity stunts. I was really disgusted when you sparked the false rumor about us being in a relationship with each other. Regardless of whatever reason you have, stop harassing me. I suggest that you not belittle me. I’m not one to be trifled with,” said Fang Erlan, not knowing what he was planning to do.

“Psht…” Jing Yang snorted with laughter and continued, “This is my first encounter with someone who self-proclaims that they’re not to be trifled with.”

Fang Erlan rolled her eyes at him.

“I came to make a cameo appearance purely because of Director Jing. I’ve watched the movies he’s directed and I was really impressed. Don’t get the wrong idea and think that I came because of you.”

“I didn’t get the wrong idea, so will you kindly stop sitting beside me, Mr. Jing?”

He stood up and took a glance at her before saying, “The more you behave like this, the more I’d like to get to know you better, Fang Erlan. I want to find out what kind of a woman you are.”

“You’re nuts,” she chastised.

He smirked and proceeded to look for Jing Tian.

Fang Erlan stared at his back and turned away a long while later.

She cocked her head over to discover that Yan Ge was already sitting on the chair beneath the umbrella, the script in his hands.

There were still more than ten minutes before filming was to begin.

He turned over and said calmly, “Let’s rehearse our lines.”

Fang Erlan expressed assent. The scene to be filmed next would require both of them to be suspended on the wire.

The lines were rather racy.

They began narrating their lines. Yan Ge said, “I feel such a strong urge to tell you my innermost thoughts whenever I carry you in the sky.”

“What are they?”

“Make a guess. Three words.”

“I love you.”

“I know.”

“You set me up again.”

“…”

After they’d said their lines, Jing Tian approached them while wearing a cap. “I’m going to brief you guys about today’s scenes. I don’t have to explain much to Yan Ge since he’s already very experienced with wires. I’ll place emphasis on you, Erlan. You must take note of your actions when you’re suspended from the wire and try to appear as natural as possible. Don’t be so stiff…”

He then demonstrated the actions to be performed while they were attached to the wire. Fang Erlan bore his words in mind.

The scene was filmed at a river.

Yan Ge picked Fang Erlan up in one arm and leaped up, after which the wire pulled them up and allowed them to be suspended in the air.

Just as they were about to narrate their lines, the wires holding Fang Erlan in place broke all of a sudden. She shrieked at the top of her lungs, after which Yan Ge tightened his grip and hugged her tightly. “The wires are broken!” she yelled.

She grabbed onto Yan Ge tightly for dear life, sounding extremely frightened and anxious. After all, they were suspended in mid-air several meters off the ground. If he had not hugged her tightly just now, she would have definitely plunged into the deep river.

Jing Tian hurriedly ordered the crew members to put them down.

Fang Erlan was terrorized; her heart was ricocheting strongly against her chest.

Jing Tian questioned the relevant crew involved. The crew member frantically explained that he had no idea what happened and that he had checked the wires properly beforehand.
