The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses
chapter-543

When he left his mother’s place, he coincidentally ran into An Xiaoning, who was passing by.

With her mask on, he almost did not recognize her.

“What are you doing here?” The tone of his voice had turned much gentler unconsciously.

“Waiting for you.” An Xiaoning went on in a low voice, “I’ve already sent the hair to carry out a paternity test. Actually, I don’t really want to know the results.”

“Why?”

“Because whether you are my father or not, it’s not important to me anymore. I will still respect you very much in my heart and treat you like my father. I’m really thankful to you for everything you’ve done for my mother.”

Listening to her words, Tuoba Shuo felt a slight stir in his heart.

Seeing that he was moved, An Xiaoning whispered, “When the results are out, I’ll tell you first thing. Don’t be too pressured and think too much. Please rest well.”

After walking past him, she briskly walked back.

Tuoba Shuo stood there looking at her back, a broad grin surfacing on his face.

Before An Xiaoning had walked too far, she saw Tuoba Gucheng standing at a corner with his arms folded. When he saw her, he immediately remarked, “Did I just see you talking to my second uncle?”

“Yes, I talked to him.”

“It looked like you were waiting for him?”

An Xiaoning denied, “Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood. I just came out for a walk as I was too full. I just ran into him coincidentally. Is he your second uncle? I’ve never seen him before, it’s actually the first time I’ve met him. I’ve only heard about him from the Princess.”

The look of surprise on her face was extremely natural. Tuoba Gucheng had his arms clasped behind his back as he asked, “Have you taken the pill I told you to?”

An Xiaoning thought for a moment and responded in a serious manner, “Truly, Your Highness, that night, nothing happened between us. Since nothing happened, there’s no need for me to take a pill.”

Tuoba Gucheng’s face turned stern instantly. “Do you think I’m an idiot? Wouldn’t I know if anything happened between us?”

An Xiaoning felt like she was never going to clear her own name. She became speechless and only spoke after a while. “That night, you weren’t in the right state of mind because of the aphrodisiac.”

“Would I not know if I was in the right state of mind or not? You actually refuse to take the pill when I asked you to? What if you actually get pregnant?!”

“…” An Xiaoning was having a huge headache because of this man. Was there something wrong with his brain?

Nothing had even happened between them. Even if she got pregnant, the child wouldn’t even be his.

“Your Highness, don’t think too much. I’ll head back to rest now.” She had just nodded to him and was about to leave when he grabbed onto her arm.

“Who said you could leave?”

“Then what else do you want, Your Highness?” An Xiaoning was rather irritated. “That night, I was the conscious one. Whether or not anything had happened between us, I know it well and clear.”

“I know you’re afraid of being implicated, but you really don’t have to act like that in front of me, I won’t let it get out.” He raised his eyebrows. “Shouldn’t you be grateful? You have such ugly and old-fashioned looks, it’s your honor for me to have slept with you.”

“Have you always been this narcissistic, Your Highness?” An Xiaoning was really dumbfounded. “What honor? Does Your Highness think we’re still in the ancient dynasty? I may look ugly and old-fashioned, but I don’t think Your Highness looks that handsome either. Your Highness, you really should stop overthinking.”

With that, she was gone like a gust of wind.

Tuoba Gucheng looked at the back of her figure leaving and was thrown into a mess. How dare that country bumpkin speak to him like this?

Something had probably gone wrong with her brain, right?

After eating, Long Xiaoxi went to find Zhong Minhe to play but could not find him at his house.

She went around everywhere to find him and finally saw his figure at an isolated place. He was sitting there by himself and she could vaguely hear him sobbing.

“Brother Minhe!” She ran over at the speed of light. “What’s wrong? I couldn’t find you anywhere.”

“Xiaoxi.” He raised his head to look at her. “Am I very useless?”

As Long Xiaoxi was still young, she did not really understand the meaning of being useless.

“Of course not. To me, you’re very useful.”

“Then, tell me, how am I useful?”

Long Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, then replied, “You can make me happy, so you’re useful. Brother Minhe, did your parents scold you?”

He nodded. “Because I don’t have arms, I can’t do anything properly.”

“That’s not your fault.” Long Xiaoxi used her sweet, piping voice to console him. “You don’t have arms, but don’t you still have legs? There was a day when Mommy and I saw on television people who don’t have both arms and legs. Those people have it worse than you. Everything will get better for you in the future.”

Zhong Minhe turned and looked at her. “Umm. Xiaoxi, let’s go back. Or else, your mother will come to find you.”

“Alright.” Long Xiaoxi reached out and held onto the hem of his clothing. “Brother Minhe, even if no one plays with you next time, I will.”

Zhong Minhe looked at her. “But when we grow up, you’ll get married. I’ll still be alone.”

“Married?” Long Xiaoxi asked, puzzled, “Can’t I still be good friends with you after I get married?”

“Of course you can.”

“Then, that’s good enough.” He and Long Xiaoxi walked back together.

Mei Yangyang had come out to look for her daughter, as expected. Seeing her daughter grabbing onto the hem of Zhong Minhe’s clothing as they returned together, she asked, “Xiaoxi, it’s late already and you still ran around by yourself.”

“It’s fine, I was just in our own house.”

She and Mei Yangyang sent Zhong Minhe back before returning together.

“Xiaoxi, Mommy realized you especially love playing with your Brother Minhe these days. Do you like him a lot?”

“Umm, I like Brother Minhe because he’s too pitiful. Also, he’s nice to me and always stands on my side.”

“What do you mean by stand on your side?” Mei Yangyang probed as they held hands.

“When other people called me a fat little girl, he always defended me and said that I’m not fat. When his mother makes him nice food, he always leaves a share for me.”

Mei Yangyang’s lips curled into a smile. That child is actually quite decent, I must say.

“Then, between your Brother Yiheng and Brother Minhe, who do you like more?”

Long Xiaoxi was still a child, ultimately, and was simple-minded when she spoke.

“Of course it’s Brother Yiheng. I want to give birth to children for him when I grow up.”

“Will your Brother Minhe be upset if he knows about this?”

“Mommy, then let’s make a pinky promise to not tell Brother Minhe about it.”

“Umm. A pinky promise that is not allowed to change for a hundred years.”

After putting her daughter to sleep, Mei Yangyang returned to her own bedroom and went headfirst into Long Tianze’s arms. “Honey, is the game more important than I am? From the moment I entered, you haven’t set your eyes on me at all. You don’t love me anymore!”

Long Tianze placed the tablet aside and scooped up her face to kiss it all over. “I love you the most. The game means nothing at all. You’re worth my whole life. If I don’t love you, who will I love? Even though I didn’t look at you, my heart is always looking at you.”

Mei Yangyang burst into laughter. “When did you become so good at saying such mushy stuff?”

“Don’t you like hearing me say these things?” He dragged her onto the bed. “Honey, shall we play a round tonight?”
