39 Lets Sleep Separately Tonigh (2/2)

Hearing her words, Jin Qingyan's face changed.

But An Xiaoning was not about to consider his reputation, feelings, or even what he would think.

When they reached the car, An Xiaoning sat in the driver's seat and turned to face Gu Beicheng who was seated beside her. ”You really have something to tell me?”

”No, I just thought of calling you at night. I said that just now as an excuse to get you out.” Gu Beicheng felt increasingly that this woman was a mystery to him. It made him more curious to find out what kind of person she was and know more about her.

An Xiaoning leaned back slightly. ”What virtues does Chi Rui'er have?”

”Not sure. Because I've never bothered to study her, I think it's a waste of time. That's why I broke up with her. But one thing's for sure, she's nothing compared to you.” This was spoken from Gu Beicheng's heart, even though he'd only known An Xiaoning briefly and didn't completely understand what kind of person she was.

An Xiaoning turned and flashed a flat smile. ”Which area can't she be compared to me, I want to know.”

”Looks — you're more good-looking than her.”

”That's true, my beauty is universally recognized.”

Gu Beicheng raised his eyebrows. ”And you're more capable than her. Although she doesn't look too bad, she's like a fragile vase. But you, you're different. If you weren't married, I'd marry you into my household as my first wife and then marry a dozen other wives. You can reign over the harem.”

”No thanks.” An Xiaoning burst out laughing. ”Marry a dozen other wives? You'd be dead meat already.”

”Oh, no — you're the only one for me. As for the other wives, they are your slaves. You can order them around to serve you.”

Visualizing this scenario drove An Xiaoning onto the verge of laughter again. She looked out of the car window and remarked slowly, ”I can tell others' fortunes but I can't tell my own — nor Jin Qingyan's. If I can see how my life would turn out in the future, I'd act according to how things are fated to happen.”

He caressed her head and responded, ”It's late. Go back earlier to rest. I'm leaving.”

”Umm.”

Gu Beicheng got off the car and headed towards his own car.

An Xiaoning, on the other hand, had to send Mei Yangyang home before returning to her house.

Jin Qingyang took a short rest on the sofa. Hearing some noises, he spoke in his cold voice, ”You still know to come back?”

The only reason he was sitting there was to wait for her.

An Xiaoning bent down to change her shoes, completely ignoring him. She was like that when she was angry, refusing to speak a word to him.

Jin Qingyan stood up, cursing under his breath, ”Damn it.”

He followed behind closely, only to realize that the bedroom door had been locked from the inside. When he returned with the key to open it, the handle seemed to have been grasped tightly from the inside to prevent one from opening the door.

Jin Qingyan exerted all his strength to kick the door. ”Open it!”

An Xiaoning acted like she did not hear it. After a while, hearing the commotion from downstairs, she loosened her grip and started changing into her pajamas.

When the door suddenly opened, Jin Qingyan, who was standing at the doorway, was incensed. ”An Xiaoning, how dare you. You dare to lock me outside?”

”Other than killing you, what else would I not dare to do?” An Xiaoning cast him a side-glance. ”Jin Qingyan, let's sleep separately tonight. You go and sleep in the guest room.”

”I refuse to, I'll sleep right here.” He went forward, boldly sitting right next to her.

”Alright then, I'll sleep in the guest room.” She went to the dressing room to take a set of clothes and stormed out, slamming the door shut.

Jin Qingyan pushed back the covers and lay down, but he just couldn't seem to fall asleep no matter what. He tossed about over and over again and only fell asleep eventually when it was very late.

Actually, An Xiaoning was unable to sleep that night too. She went in and out of sleep until it was daylight. When the alarm ringtone reminded her that it was Jin Qingyan's birthday, she turned it off and went out without even eating breakfast, instead grabbing a bite at a breakfast shop before going to the clothing store.
