Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 720: Bewitching

In fact, Gu Yan was not quite comfortable with this.

Her palms were sweaty from embarrassment, and she was also worried that her mother might come over. The little girl’s face was flushed, and her fingers curled slightly from nervousness.

Bai Li looked at Gu Yan like this and found her inexplicably appetizing.

Without waiting for her to make the first move, he simply leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth.

"Good night, Xiaoyan."

"G-Good night."

After Bai Li left, Gu Yan let out a sigh of relief and felt a bit chagrined.

Even though the two of them had grown up together since childhood and were so familiar with each other, how could she embarrass herself by getting so nervous that she sweated?

And about the corner of her mouth...

She reached out and touched her lips, and her heartbeat skipped half a beat again.

Kissing the corner of the lips seemed different from kissing the forehead.

Su Wan gave the two of them enough time, well, not too long since she was still not at ease about her daughter. When she came out, she saw her daughter sitting on the bed in a daze.

Touching the corner of her mouth.

Su Wan: "..."

Ha, this old bugger actually dared to kiss Xiaoyan?

Su Wan walked over while Gu Yan was somewhat nervously fidgety, looking at her mother hesitantly.

But Su Wan calmly said, "Xiaoyan, you must be tired from dreaming just now. Rest early, we have to go find Xu Wei’an tomorrow."

"Okay, sure."

Relieved that her mother didn’t ask any questions, Gu Yan let out a sigh.

**

After Xu Wei’an woke up, her bangs were damp strand by strand, sticking to her face.

It wasn’t cold sweat.

It was because someone had splashed her with cold water while she was asleep.

"You’re finally awake."

Moran was running out of patience. She frowned and said, "I thought you were quite vigilant, how could you sleep so deeply?"

Xu Wei’an didn’t know why she had slept so soundly either.

But that wasn’t what was important now.

She warily looked at the man and woman before her, "Who are you? Why did you break into my house in the middle of the night?"

Moran looked at Xu Wei’an, who was very calm and composed, yet with a wavering gaze.

She smiled appreciatively and nodded, "You’re indeed not bad, stronger in spirit, more like my brother. By the way, no need to look for a phone to call the cops—I’ve taken it, and don’t bother trying to escape. I won’t hurt you; I’m just here to tell you a story."

It had taken too long to wake this girl up earlier.

"I don’t want to hear a story!"

Moran took out a knife, smiling as she said, "No choice, you have to listen to this story."

Xu Wei’an: "..."

Moran succinctly explained the incident of Vivian’s soul being split, and Xu Wei’an raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression elusive.

The man accompanying Moran looked astonished.

What? A person’s soul split in half, with one half going to someone else?

Xu Wei’an listened quietly until Moran finished the story, then she said, "Is the story over? Please leave my house if it is."

Moran: "You don’t believe it? No, you do believe because I know you are the other half of Vivian’s soul. I know, you want to be a star, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for a while without success, I can help you."

She handed over a business card, then said, "One person can continue to live here, realizing her dream of becoming a star. As for the other person, I can take you away, back to your original body. This is a win-win situation. I know this is rather sudden for you, so you can think it over."

After Moran finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door, pausing after a few steps to return the mobile phone to Xu Wei’an.

"Contact me when you’ve made up your mind."

The person was finally gone.

It was already past three in the morning.

Xu Wei’an sat in the darkness, then stood up, changed the wet sheets and blankets on the bed, and then took out a mop to clean up the mess on the floor.

"Sister, do you think what she said is true? Can she really make me a big star and let you go back to your own body?"

Xu Wei’an’s hand paused, "Are you trying to rush me away?"

"No, no, no, I’m not trying to rush Sister away. Actually, I don’t want you to leave. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have died long ago. It’s just... the woman just now said that your original body is about to die, and if you don’t go back soon, you might not be able to return at all."

"But how can we prove that what this woman said is true?"

"...That’s true, all of this is too incredible. But, Sister, even though we can’t fully trust her, we can’t just dismiss it either, what if it is an opportunity? An opportunity that could let us both live a better life in the future?"

Xu Wei’an half-closed her eyes, "Pie in the sky doesn’t fall for no reason, but I won’t let this opportunity slip away either."

"Yes, yes, the decision Sister makes is definitely the right one!"

**

The sky was beginning to lighten.

The car stopped in front of the hotel.

Moran was about to get out when the man hesitated and said, "Auntie Moran, are you deceiving that young girl?"

"What do you think?"

"I don’t know..."

"Better you don’t know." Moran got out of the car, walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "Didn’t your father teach you? You are not to question anything I do! If your family wants to continue prospering for generations, you’ll have to listen to me."

"Yes..."

After schooling the man, Moran got up, exited the car, and quickly returned to her room in the hotel.

As she closed the door behind her, in the room next door, Su Wan slowly opened her eyes, chuckled softly, then closed them again, drifting back to sleep.

Good, with Moran’s briefing, they could go straight to Xu Wei’an tomorrow to get to the point.

This time, it would not be a dream, but it will still be Xiaoyan to come.

Xu Wei’an hadn’t been admitted to the film academy, but she was eager to learn, so she found a way to audit classes. Today, there was an acting class, and she went to listen as Gu Yan sat down beside her.

Xu Wei’an, still thinking about the strange woman’s visit, suddenly saw Gu Yan and remembered the things from her dream.

Gu Yan watched the blackboard intently. She was a bit nervous, fearing that Xu Wei’an might recognize her, but her expression was well managed.

Xu Wei’an was always someone who was prone to suspicion. She asked softly, "What major are you in? How come I’ve never seen you before?"

"I, I’m a Chinese literature major. I want to be a scriptwriter in the future, so I came to see your acting department. You are all so impressive. By the way, my name is Gu Yan, what’s yours?"

"Xu Wei’an."

There was a hint of strangeness in Xu Wei’an’s heart.

Perhaps she had bumped into her somewhere on campus before, or she might have encountered her on the bus, which could be why she had dreamed about this Gu Yan?

However, regardless of how, perhaps because Gu Yan had helped her in the dream, or maybe because her smile was very infectious, Xu Wei’an didn’t have an aversion to Gu Yan.

Compared to Gu Yan, Xu Wei’an was more concerned about the woman who had barged into her home in the early morning.

Moran.

The business card Moran gave her was from a well-known domestic entertainment company. If that woman wasn’t deceiving her, Xu Wei’an might skyrocket in the entertainment circle because the company was rich in entertainment resources.

But Xu Wei’an was always uneasy at heart.
