The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 1067 - Perplexed and Smitten (127)

Xiao Chenyang answered, “No, you don’t look like her at all. I’ll go fix breakfast.”

Fang Erlan leaned against the headboard and wondered to herself, Do I really not look like her at all?

I can’t figure this out. Whatever, I’ll stop thinking about it.

During breakfast, she asked, “When are you planning to come back again after you leave this time? Give me some time to prepare myself mentally.”

“What mental preparation do you need?” he asked, sipping on some milk slowly.

“I want to know when you’re coming back again after leaving today.”

“I can’t give you an exact date.”

“Forget it, then.”

“…”

“Here, Yiheng,” said Wen Yuechan, handing him a bag of snacks.

“I’m not having any. You may keep it for yourself.”

She grabbed some of the snacks and placed it in his hands. “It’s delicious, give it a try.”

He agreed with a nod, “Alright.”

Wen Yuechan scanned her surroundings to make sure that Long Xiaoxi was not around. “Yiheng, I’d like to apologize to you.”

“Apologize to me? Why?”

“I was too insensible in the past and made you dislike playing with me. You’ll forgive me, won’t you?”

“Sure!” he answered with a smile.

“Yiheng, I really enjoy playing with you,” she said, staring at him intently.

“Let’s all play together from now on, then,” Jin Yiheng said straightforwardly. After all, he was still a child.

As soon as he finished speaking, the image of an exasperated Long Xiaoxi popped up in his head. He was well aware that she was at odds with Wen Yuechan.

Wen Yuechan exclaimed, “That’s great!”

“But… could you get along properly with Xiaoxi? Don’t get angry and bicker with each other anymore. Xiaoxi is younger than you. Do try and give in more to her, even when she’s at fault.”

Wen Yuechan was extremely disgruntled to hear his words. Why must I give in to Long Xiaoxi? She’s not that much younger, she thought to herself.

However, she knew not to show her displeasure.

Instead, she said, “Of course I will. Yiheng, I actually really want to bury the hatchet with Xiaoxi. However, she doesn’t seem too keen on playing with me. Do you know of any ways to make her play with me?”

“Mm… let’s go find her together. I’ll tell you what to do.”

“Alright.”

Long Xiaoxi was sitting in the cla.s.sroom at the moment and waiting for her lesson to begin in ten minutes’ time.

She was initially elated to see Jin Yiheng. However, she instantly had a s.h.i.+ft in mood and pulled a long face the moment she saw Wen Yuechan behind him.

“Xiaoxi.”

“Yes? What do you want?” she answered, fiddling with her pencil.

“Yuechan says that she’d like to play with you and everyone else from now on.”

Long Xiaoxi flew into a rage upon seeing how happy he seemed. She remarked in disdain, “I’m not going to play with her. Go play with her by yourself if you want. Don’t get me involved.”

The smile on Jin Yiheng’s face vanished and he chided, “She took the initiative to ask you to play together. Why have you got such an att.i.tude?”

“Don’t you know that I really detest her? Why do you have to force me to play with her? You’re becoming biased toward her again. Just what benefits did she offer you!?!”

Jin Yiheng did not say anything further and turned around… to leave…

Long Xiaoxi watched as Wen Yuechan left together with Jin Yiheng. She then turned to glare at Ji Gui, who was staring at them. “I’ll gouge your eyes out if you continue staring,” she warned.

Ji Gui hurriedly looked away while Jin Rongyan said to the teary-eyed Long Xiaoxi, “Xiaoxi, don’t cry.”

“Who said I was crying? I won’t cry,” said Long Xiaoxi while wiping her tears away.

“Xiaoxi, don’t cry, I’ll take you to buy some tasty food, alright?”

“But cla.s.s is starting soon.”

“It’s okay, we can just play truant.”

“…”

There were only three people in their cla.s.s, and thus, Ji Gui was left alone in the cla.s.sroom after the two of them decided to skip cla.s.s. When the teacher discovered that he was the only one in cla.s.s, she asked, “Where did the two of them go?”

“Teacher, they went on a date at the mini mart.”

“What? They’re still so young and yet they’ve learned how to date like adults!?!” the teacher exclaimed in bewilderment.

She then stormed out of the cla.s.sroom in a huff.

Ji Gui chuckled and sat alone in the cla.s.sroom, thrilled and overjoyed.

Not long after, the two children returned, but not with the teacher.

“Teacher went to look for the two of you. Didn’t you guys see her?”

“She was looking for us? What for?” Jin Rongyan asked.

“I told her that you two had gone on a date to the mini mart…” Ji Gui immediately covered his mouth upon realizing that he had said something inappropriate.

“Dummy… lie there,” Long Xiaoxi said, pointing at the chair.

“Xiaoxi, I was wrong…”

“Lie there.”

Ji Gui lay there slowly while Long Xiaoxi raised her chubby hand to smack him on his b.u.t.tocks. At the same time, she rebuked, “Who taught you to spout nonsense at such a young age!?!”

Although her beating did not hurt at all, Ji Gui still had to pretend to be in pain and beg for her mercy, because that was the only way to make her stop.

She then handed him a piece of candy and said, “Here, Rongyan and I bought this for you.”

Ji Gui took it from her hands and unwrapped the wrapper of the candy while asking, “Is this a gift for your wedding?”

“…”

—

“He was abducted to Y Nation because he tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Princess Nicole of Y Nation four years ago, during which he left his fingerprints behind and was captured by their surveillance cameras. Due to the fact that No. 8 didn’t have a proper ident.i.ty back then, it was difficult for them to find him. Things are very tricky and complicated…”

“The princess also said that she would hand him over to the law if I were to intervene. It seems she’ll leave him alone if I don’t. However, if I do, he’ll very likely face a death sentence…”

An Xiaoning’s words rang in Mo Li’s ears as she recalled them repeatedly.

Again and again.

She sat on the couch for a long time; all her tears had already dried up.

I finally attained my happiness. Why… why must Heaven take it away from me again?

Needless to say, Mo Li wanted him to stay alive and well. However, she also wanted him to return to her side.

Mo Li held her hands together and placed them on her forehead, overwhelmed with misery and agony.

And yet, there was nothing she could do.

The doorbell began to ring.

Mo Li wiped her eyes and stood up from the couch to answer the door.

It was her mother.

Mo Li had already told her about the situation over the phone. Noticing the tears in her eyes, Mrs. Mo asked worriedly, “Mo Li, just what’s going on?”

“Mother, Yun Chen was taken away by a member of the royal family of another nation…”

“What do we do, then? Is there a way to bring him back?”

Mo Li repeated An Xiaoning’s words to her mother, after which Mrs. Mo let out a sigh of agony and said, “What are we supposed to do? Mo Li, why don’t you just forget it?”

“Mother, what do you mean ‘just forget it’?”

“He used to be a hitman, and he has definitely offended plenty of people. You’ll only be putting yourself at risk by staying with him. What are your father and I going to do if his enemies were to abduct you one day?”

Mo Li knew that her mother had a point. However, she could not bring herself to just give up.

She had been living each day in bliss ever since she got into a relations.h.i.+p with him, and she felt like she’d had a fresh start in life.
