75 Jin Qingyan! Yousre Stepping On My Leg! (2/2)
An Xiaoning took the phone from him and cast a glance, her face turning beetroot immediately. ”You… you want me to do that with you?”
He appeared very calm and tossed his phone aside, turning the lights off straight away.
”What did you switch the lights off for?”
”I know you're embarrassed, I'm trying to consider your feelings.”
”Ouch! Jin Qingyan! You're stepping on my leg! ”
”Sorry…”
”…”
”…”
By the time the two had laid down in bed, An Xiaoning felt that the two of them had been brought closer again. But at the thought of his true colors, she still silently reminded herself never to fall into the trap of his honeyed gestures. He was most capable of using such sweet intimate gestures to bury others alive.
”Why aren't you talking?”
”Don't know what to say.” An Xiaoning turned over, gazing at him under the dim lighting. ”Tell me, exactly what kind of person are you?”
”I'm a good person.”
”Are you really this shameless?”
He turned over to face her as well. ”What kind of person I am, you'll know that in the future.”
”But I'm not sure if I'll have so much time to understand what kind of person you are. When we just got married, I felt that this marriage was one that would last a lifetime. Now, I'm not so sure anymore.”
”I will never divorce you because of Chi Rui'er.”
”Don't say your words too early,” An Xiaoning replied in a gentle and calm voice. ”Life is full of uncertainties. You may think that what you're saying now is how you truly feel, but it may change in the future. Take things as they come — if one day you end up in a blind alley, I won't force you to land yourself in a passive position.”
He pulled her into his arms tightly. ”You're afraid of something that has yet to happen? What's the point of thinking about the future? Everything is fine now, that's what matters.”
That's true.

The news of Mo Li and Byron's upcoming wedding spread across the globe. Even though Byron had no claim to the throne, he was still a member of Y Nation's royal family. Furthermore, he was a famous businessman. News of his remarriage rapidly occupied the top spots on various media platforms.
At the same time, his previous marriage with his ex-wife resurfaced as a topic of discussion. Not only that, Mo Li's background and identity in S Nation was also exposed.
Although she had been Ye Xiaotian's woman for four years, she was not spared from such news.
Byron was a whole 18 years older than she was, and her family was mere civilians. It was natural for the media to insinuate that she was materialistic and greedy for power.
Ye Xiaotian had a fiancée, Bai Ranran. She knew it was impossible with him already, so she grabbed hold of Byron.
However, they did not intend to make any statement, which left the outside world to speculate among themselves. It did not seem to affect Byron and Mo Li at all.
The two were bombarded by the media when they went out together. When asked about when they were getting married, Byron revealed frankly, ”We're getting our marriage certificate now. Our wedding will be held very soon too, in just a couple of days.”
He rejected to answer all other questions politely and held Mo Li's hand as they both disappeared from the cameras.
Ye Xiaotian switched off the television and stood up abruptly. Both his hands were clasped behind his back and his face was dark as thunder.
”Young Master, Ms. Bai is here.”
Ye Xiaotian headed towards the door. As he reached the living room entrance, Bai Ranran entered. Her pale face revealed her sick state, but she still appeared beautiful. She was dressed up so impeccably, it was obvious she came from a rich family.
”The weather's so cold today, why did you come over?”
Bai Ranran replied, ”You've been too busy to visit me these few days, so I came over to take a look. Xiaotian, I saw the news — Mo Li's gone overseas.”
”Mmm.”
”The doctor said her blood matches mine the most and is the purest. Why did you just let her go?”
