    “Ah, I’m really ashamed of myself. I’d originally thought that I can be considered quite pretty. Who would have thought? After seeing pictures of these women, I find that I really can’t hold a candle to them. Isn’t that right, Mr. Xiao?”


    Her efforts were, however,pletely unnecessary in the eyes of Xiao Chenyang.


    “You must be hoping that I’ll pick one of these participants. Because then, you’ll be free, right?”


    “Of course I hope... that you’ll find someone you truly like.”


    “I think you want to go on Mount Wanyan to live and never get out of there.”


    When she heard his words, Fang En’s heart went to her mouth. That damn ce, she never wanted to return there!


    “No, no, no. Definitely not. Alright, alright. Let’s not look at these pictures anymore. What’s there to see? They’re just a bunch of ordinary grass, how could they possibly catch the eye of our Mr. Xiao? I’m afraid, amongst so many people, there’ll probably be hardly any woman who can capture the attention of Chief Fan.”


    With that, Fang En took her phone back from him andughed dryly.


    Xiao Chenyang remarked, “Today’s a special asion. Get changed into your prettiest outfit and doll yourself up. We’ll be going to the museum.”


    “What on earth are we going there for? Is there another new exhibition at the museum?”


    He did not answer her but stood up and went back into the bedroom.


    Seeing how he was insistent on going, Fang En knew there was no way she could stop him. She had no choice but to switch off her phone and stand up as well.


    ncing at the clothes in her wardrobe, Fang En cast a side nce at Xiao Chenyang and remarked, “All my clothes are pretty to me. Pick one out for me, then.”


    He went forward and browsed through them casually, then finally took out a long white dress to pass to her. “This one.”


    Fang En took the dress from him and pointed to the door. “You, go out first. I’ll change.”


    “Do you think I won’t know how your body looks like just because I’m outside?”


    Fang En’s mouth was agape. “You’re despicable! Get out!”


    He turned and actually went out, closing the door behind him.


    Fang En went to lock the door from the inside and could finally rest assured and change into her dress.


    After forty minutes, she finally emerged from the bedroom. Xiao Chenyang was watching the television, and Fang En had thought that his eyes would brighten upon seeing her all dolled up. However, he did not even cast a single nce at her.


    Yet, she did not take it to heart as well. “Aren’t we going to the museum? What are you waiting for? Come on, let’s go.”


    Xiao Chenyang turned to look at her. “I’ll go and change as well. You’re more than wee to join me to see the whole process.”


    “No... I don’t care for it at all...”


    Aspared to her dolling up process, whichsted for forty minutes, he took a mere three minutes to re-emerge from the bedroom.


    Fang En watched him in an rmed manner and had her hand ced on her chin as she asked, “Brother, it’s 34 degrees Celsius today. Are you sure you’re going out in this red robe...? Do you really not feel warm?”


    With an indifferent look, he replied, “No, I’m used to it.”


    “...”


    Fang En did not think too much of it either, since it had been more than just one or two days since she had been around this unusual man.


    When they went downstairs together, she watched as he headed toward a white luxury car and hurriedly shouted to him, “Why are you going to someone else’s car? My nanny van is here.”


    He paused in his tracks and replied to her, “Come here, this is my car.”


    “When did you buy it?”


    “Two hours ago.”


    Fang En went to the front of the car and saw a temporary license te ced there. There were red ribbons tied onto the rear mirror and car wheels.


    “What car is this?”


    “It’s an Aston Martin.”


    “How much did it cost?”


    “4.56 million dors. Hop on.”


    “Oh.” She went around the front of the car and got onto the front passenger seat, fastening her safety belt thereafter.


    When the car drove out of Qingyuan Estate, it just happened to go past Yan Ge’s car, which was entering the estate.


    For some reason, although she knew that Yan Ge wasn’t the one driving the car, she still could not help but turn her face to the car window. Only then would she not be spotted by Yan Ge.


    In reality, Yan Ge truly had not spotted her.


    Xiao Chenyang did not notice this movement of hers, and he concentrated on driving.


    After being stuck in traffic on the streets for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the museum.


    When the car was pulling over at the entrance of the museum, Fang En stretched her head out to look and asked him, “There’s no new exhibition today, why did you bring me here?”


    “Must there be a new exhibition for one toe here?” His throat moved a little, and it appeared as if he was hesitating to say what he had on his mind. “Get off.”


    “Is it alright to park the car here? Do you want to park the car further inside?”


    “No need for that.”


    Hearing him say this, Fang En had no choice but to sling her bag over her shoulder and alight from the car.


    Since no one recognized her anyway, she entered the museum together with him openly.


    This was her second time visiting this ce.


    Aspared to the previous time when it was bustling with people, it was much less crowded this time.


    “There was an exhibitionst time. Xiao Yue and I came to see that female corpse that has been preserved for centuries. Do you know about that?”


    “Yes.”


    As she spoke about this, Fang En was still impressed by it and eximed, “The woman has been dead for so many years. I wonder how they preserved her corpse. It didn’t have any sign of dposition or smell at all. It was as if the woman had just fallen asleep. I waspletely astonished!”


    “Usually, keeping a corpse well maintained for so long would have been achieved by both the external and internal environments working together. The environment where the corpse is ced has to be ideal; meanwhile, there has to be a chemical ced in the corpse to also prevent it from dposing. That’s how it can be maintained for such a long time.”


    “It goes to show that those who buried the corpse had paid a lot of attention.” Fang Enplimented, “I’m afraid that in today’s society, corpses can’t be preserved as well as that corpse had been preserved. But the ancient people actually achieved it.”


    Two staff members in the museum went forward to greet, “May I know if you’re Mr. Xiao?”


    “Yes, I am.”


    “You may now take it away with you.”


    “Okay.”


    Fang En was perplexed. Take away? What was he taking away?


    She then followed Xiao Chenyang further inside the museum, where the staff members brought them before a ss coffin.


    Fang En gazed at the female corpse inside the coffin that had been preserved for centuries and asked Xiao Chenyang in rm, “Don’t tell me, you’re taking this corpse away?”


    “Yes, indeed.”


    Fang En felt like she could not catch her breath and was at a loss for words. She knew that he was an unusual person who did many perplexing things. It might have had something to do with how ridiculous a person he was. But, at this point, there was a question that was burning within her! What on earth was he taking a corpse back for?! To make it his wife?


    Was this what a normal person would do?


    “Why? Tell me the reason.”


    He did not answer and fixed his warm gaze at the corpse inside the coffin. He watched as the staff members ced the petite body inside a specially-made coffin, then carried it away.


    Fang En and Xiao Chenyang followed the staff members and went out through the entrance of the museum.


    When they stood before the door of his car, Xiao Chenyang ignored Fang En’s exmations and opened the car door, taking the female corpse out of the coffin and cing it at the front passenger seat.


    That’s right, he had ced it at the front passenger seat.


    “Where do I sit?” Fang En asked.


    As this car was a two-seater, there was only a small storage area behind the front seats. However, there wasn’t much room, and the area was about half the size of one front seat. She contemted to herself: Since Xiao Chenyang had ced the female corpse at the front passenger seat, was he going to make her squeeze at the back?
