Chapter 980: Perplexed and Smitten (40)

“I was the one who initiated it. Fortunately, she trusts me,” said No. 8, smiling widely from ear to ear.

An Xiaoning was genuinely happy for them. “It’s been hard on you guys and you’ve suffered a great ton. Support and be there for each other for the rest of your lives.”

Mo Li could not help but tear up.

It was indeed tough to find someone to rely on for a lifetime.

One would only understand that truth after they’ve experienced it themselves.

“I may not have known Yun Chen for long, but every single day that I’ve spent with him has been enjoyable. I’m very sure that this is how I want my life to be. I agreed without hesitation when he proposed to me.”

“What’s important is that you’re very clear about what you want.”

As soon as An Xiaoning finished speaking, No. 5 sighed and said, “Ahh, the rest of us singletons are not as lucky as No. 8. No. 8, you must be good to Ms. Mo. Otherwise, we’ll be waiting in line to take over your place and protect her.”

“It’s not like Sis didn’t give you the freedom to get a girlfriend. Stop being jealous of me,” No. 8 retorted.

No. 5 chuckled and said, “Sis, you have no idea, No. 8 doesn’t even return to the dormitory these past few days that we’ve been preparing for the driving test.”

No. 8 blushed and said, “So what if I stayed with my girlfriend? Isn’t it only normal for adults to do that?”

“Come here, everyone, have some cold drinks to cool you down. The weather is exceptionally sweltering these days,” said s.h.i.+ Qingzhou, serving a few gla.s.ses of beverage on a tray. An Xiaoning grabbed a gla.s.s and took a few sips using a straw. She would often be in a great mood whenever she realizes that everything at home was in peace and harmony.

Yet, her happiness was often short-lived.

She stayed for dinner and engaged in a long and lively conversation with her family before driving back to Wei Ni Estate at past eight o’clock in the evening.

The sky had already turned dark.

It seemed like it was about to rain soon, for the air was hot and humid. The moment she drove through the entrance, An Xiaoning caught sight of a silhouette standing below the light in the backyard.

She parked her car on the spot and alighted before even parking it inside the garage.

“Didn’t you say that it was too far for you to come and meet me the previous time I texted you? It’s really surprising to see you here at this time.”

The man had his back facing An Xiaoning, who was leaning against the bonnet of her car. She did not seem to be interested in taking a look at his appearance.

“There’s something I need your help with. I’ll give you a handsome reward in return. Are you interested in helping me, Hua Jin?” he said aloofly in an alluring voice.

“What is it?” asked An Xiaoning, thinking to herself that it must be a tall order for him since he had to seek her help.

“There’s an ancient coffin in V Nation. I want you to bring the corpse inside to the museum in A City.”

“A corpse? Does it belong to you?” An Xiaoning asked subconsciously.

“No. It belongs to a woman. The corpse has yet to decompose. Of course, it’d be more than easy for me to move it to a place n.o.body knows about, but I want her to see the light of day now. Follow my instructions and I’ll grant you a wish.”

An Xiaoning nodded and asked, “Am I allowed to ask for anything?”

“If you’d like to ask about my ident.i.ty as well as the treasure map, you may save it.”

“I won’t ask about you, who you are has nothing to do with me. I’m not interested in the treasure map either. I only want to know about me and His Highness’ previous lifetime. Could you tell me about it?”

The man hesitated and remained silent for a moment. An Xiaoning asked, “Are you not willing to tell me?”

“No,” answered the man. He was merely surprised that she would make such a request. He continued, “That’s already a matter of the past and you two have already reincarnated. What’s the point of harping on about the past? Hua Jin, I really think you should seriously reconsider your request. I think it’s better that you don’t know about your previous lifetime.”

“Why did Heaven let me find out about it if it’s better for me not to know? He did that because he wants us to know that there are some truths that have to be uncovered, regardless of how long it may have been since that time.”

The man was rather astonished to hear her words. “Did you guys already find out?”

“It’s just some loose bits and pieces here and there. I don’t have the complete picture of what happened yet. Mr. Xiao, could you agree to a request of mine?”

“Since you’re willing to make an exchange with me, I’ll promise to fulfill your request. However, I can only tell you once you’ve brought the corpse back in one piece and settled it appropriately. Hua Jin, you trust me, don’t you?”

“Well, the power lies in your hands. I’m not that eager to find out yet, I’ll just help you with what you need me to do first. Tell me the exact address,” she answered.

He told her the exact address of the ancient graveyard and said, “Someone has already found out about that place so I hope you’ll start taking action tomorrow.”

“Someone has already discovered the place? Why didn’t you just kill that person then and there?” An Xiaoning asked, not sure if he was referring to He Yi.

“When I arrived, I discovered that someone had already entered. Fortunately, the corpse is still intact and undiscovered.”

“Oh, I see.” An Xiaoning stood up straight and said, “Mr. Xiao, what’s the point of being so mysterious? What’s wrong with revealing your face and telling me your name?”

He answered coldly in arrogance, “I just don’t want to. What can you do? Hit me?”

An Xiaoning had no words.

“Young Madam! What are you murmuring to yourself about?” Fan s.h.i.+xin asked, scurrying toward her.

“Nothing.” She looked at Mr. Xiao, only to find that he was no longer in sight. “s.h.i.+xin, there’s something I need to trouble you with.”

“Young Madam, don’t stand on ceremony with me. Just give me your orders.”

“I have a subordinate called No. 8 in Sanqiao Estate and he doesn’t have a household register yet. Help him apply for one and register his and Mo Li’s name under the same register. They’re getting married soon.”

Fan s.h.i.+xin asked in shock, “They’re getting married already? So soon?”

“Yes, that’s why he needs a household register to get his marriage registered. He doesn’t have an ident.i.ty card either.”

“Leave this to me.”

“Thanks. Has your Young Sir returned home yet?”

“No, Young Sir got Xiao Bai to deliver his dinner. He’s still working overtime at the office. However, he’ll be back soon.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for him upstairs.”

After removing her makeup and putting on a sheet of beauty facial mask, she lay in bed and pondered over her thoughts silently. All of a sudden, her mobile phone began to ring, giving her a great shock.

She took a look at the caller display to see that it was a call from Wen Lele. Again.

“h.e.l.lo, Ms. Wen, what’s the matter?”

“Ms. An, He Yi proposed to me!”

An Xiaoning felt like she was about to go deaf and answered, “And so?”

“Don’t you find it really strange because of how sudden it is?”

“No.”
