The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 604 - The Secret About the Past (222)

“Reports about couples getting a divorce are rampant in the entertainment industry and would often become a hot topic for discussion amongst netizens online. Just a while ago, there was a sudden post on Weibo that had caused an uproar across various platforms online. It’s said the person behind the release of the statement is Jin Qingyue’s ex-husband, s.h.i.+ Shaochuan. Below is the content of the post. I won’t go into detail about what was written and, instead, I’ll tell you guys briefly about the main takeaways from the post. s.h.i.+ Shaochuan claimed that Jin Qingyue was the one behind the Jin Corporation’s acquisition of his company and that she had abused her family’s authority to put him behind bars, so as to s.n.a.t.c.h away the rights to their daughter’s custody. Their daughter was allegedly being physically and verbally abused by Jin Qingyue while under her care. He now demands the custody of his daughter, Jin Bao’er, and has raised a lawsuit against Jin Qingyue. Besides, he has also uploaded a video of his daughter admitting to being abused by her mother…”

Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye watched the video, in which s.h.i.+ Shaochuan was seen asking Jin Bao’er, “Did Mommy hit you a lot when you were living with her?”

“Yes, Mommy would hit me every day and forbid me from having my meals whenever I was being disobedient. She would even lash out at me.”

“Do you prefer to live with Daddy or with Mommy?”

“I prefer to live with Daddy. Daddy is so nice to me. He brings me out to play every day, buys me beautiful dresses, and takes me out to eat whatever I want.”

“…”

Jin Qingyue was seething with exasperation upon hearing what her daughter said in the video. She slammed her hand down onto the table and sprung up from her seat. “Bulls.h.i.+t!” she bellowed, raging with fury.

“He’s making use of the child to play the sympathy card and then s.n.a.t.c.h away the custody rights from you. Indeed, he’s getting a head start because Bao’er prefers her father to you,” Ling Ciye said with a sullen expression.

Jin Qingyue hugged him and lamented, “I doubt there’s any way to clear my name and regain my reputation. This entire Weibo incident is only going to make matters worse.”

“So what even if we can’t clear your name? If your reputation is tarnished, I’ll face the controversy together with you,” Ling Ciye said in his alluring voice.

“But your parents…”

“When Tianze and Yangyang got married, Tianze’s parents were disapproving toward Yangyang at first too. Do you know how they overcame that obstacle?”

“They acted first and reported later. Mei Yangyang got pregnant beforehand,” Jin Qingyue answered without hesitation.

“Yes. It’ll work the same for my parents too. It just depends on whether you’re willing to do it or not.”

Jin Qingyue held his gaze and tiptoed to give him a kiss. “I’m willing.”

Ling Ciye swept her off her feet and carried her toward the bedroom. Jin Qingyue’s mood was instantly lifted.

“Shall I take a shower first?” she asked softly.

“No need for that.” He began smooching her lips and swiftly slipped a hand beneath her skirt to pull her underwear down to her ankles.

At this crucial juncture, she sat up straight.

“What’s wrong?”

“Let me do it.”

She looked down and unbuckled his belt.

She then unzipped his trousers slowly while he stood beside the bed and stared at her from above, smiling widely from ear to ear.

The temperature in the room began to rise bit by bit. The two of them continued to pant heavily for an entire hour before finally calling it quits.

“Brother Ciye, I don’t want to let s.h.i.+ Shaochuan have the rights to Bao’er’s custody,” said Jin Qingyue, lying in his arms while trying to catch her breath.

“I understand. Bao’er is probably too deprived of paternal love. Maybe that’s why she wants to be with her biological father so badly, now that she has reunited with him. I won’t allow him to s.n.a.t.c.h away the rights to her custody. I think you’d better reinforce the initial routine of only allowing him to look after her during weekends,” said Ling Ciye, holding her hand.

“Yeah, I think so too.”

“She’s still too young to tell right from wrong. She’ll understand who really has her best interests at heart when she’s older.”

“I really hope so…”

Ding-dong… ding-dong… ding-dong…

The doorbell began to ring all of a sudden.

The two of them sprung up and hurriedly put their clothes on.

Once they got dressed, Ling Ciye proceeded to open the door while Jin Qingyue picked up the used tissues on the floor and disposed of them.

Jin Qingyue initially thought that it was Mrs. Ling who had come by. To her surprise, it was Song Yan instead.

“What are you here for?” Ling Ciye questioned with a look of disdain.

“I happened to pa.s.s by while on my way back from filming. It’s been long since we met. I just wanted to pop by to see how you’re doing,” Song Yan said in a mellow tone.

“You don’t have to worry, I’m doing very well,” Ling Ciye answered coldly, clearly not wanting to have anything to do with her. In fact, he did not even bother talking to her nicely.

Song Yan s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Jin Qingyue, who was standing by the door, and said with a smile, “That’s great.”

The smile on her face vanished at the instant that she turned around to leave. She seemed to have really dropped by just to say h.e.l.lo.

Ling Ciye closed the door and turned around to make eye contact with Jin Qingyue. “Are you hungry?” he asked.

“A little.”

“What would you like to eat? I’ll cook it for you.”

Supporting herself against the door frame, she answered, smiling, “I’ll eat anything you cook.”

He strode toward her and planted a kiss on her lips before walking toward the kitchen.

Jin Qingyue felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart, which was fluttering with sweetness.

The book Tuoba Shuo had given An Xiaoning was not too thick and could be finished very quickly. However, reading was one thing and memorizing its content was another, and the latter would require quite a bit of time.

An Xiaoning desperately wanted to find out what she needed to know. Thus, she sacrificed most of her sleep to peruse the book. Since she had to be on duty during the day, she ought to treasure the free time she had at night to finish reading the book as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would run out of time very soon.

The presidential election would be taking place in less than a month.

She decided that she would master the techniques of hypnosis taught in the book before the election. By then, she would put them to use and execute her plan.

That would be happening next month.

She still had one day off for this month.

An Xiaoning decided to use it to go out of the Autumn Palace to take a breather.

When she raised her request for a day off to Tuoba Gucheng, he did not bother looking up at her and instead simply answered, “Go ahead and take a break since you’re allowed one day off every month.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” An Xiaoning bowed to him and turned around to leave.

A look of dismay formed in Tuoba Gucheng’s eyes as he watched her leave hastily.

An Xiaoning exited the Autumn Palace.

She collected her car from the carpark in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the hotel nearby. She removed the mask on her face and changed into the other beautiful mask she owned.

She remembered that s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu had hired people to station themselves near the Gu family mansion and Wei Ni Estate in order to keep a close eye on her. Besides, she had already made an appearance on the news and claimed to be overseas at the moment. Thus, she could not go about using her real ident.i.ty for the time being.

Furthermore, she was not planning to head to the Gu family mansion or to Wei Ni Estate to see her son.

Thus, s.h.i.+ Xiaoyu’s men may keep watch for all she cares.

Upon reaching A City, she called Mei Yangyang and instructed her to book a hotel room. They then headed to the room after collecting the key card.

An Xiaoning could finally relax and unwind. She sprawled herself across the huge bed and said to Mei Yangyang, “I now own a book that gives instructions on how to hypnotize someone when they’re asleep.”
