An Xiaoning turned over and glared at him slightly, then said to Gu Beicheng on the other end of the line, ”Let's meet at the foot of the hill then, I'll head over right now.”
”… Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, An Xiaoning said leisurely to the man beside her, ”How childish.”
”How was I being childish?”
”You intentionally said things like wiping your back, isn't that being childish?” She rapidly changed into a set of clothes. ”I'm going to Master's grave. Gu Beicheng said someone guarding it noticed a figure there. Ordinary people would not be able to see it, I think someone came across it and wanted to steal from the grave. I really can't think of anything else. But, we still have to take a look, otherwise, the luck there might be destroyed by other people.”
”Should I go with you?”
She pressed down his shoulders. ”Be good and sleep at home. You still have work tomorrow morning, don't you want to go to work anymore?”
”Can you handle it by yourself?”
”How could I possibly go alone? I'm bringing three others there.” An Xiaoning placed her gun near her chest area and placed a dagger in her sleeve pocket. She even attached a whip near her waist. Jin Qingyan, who was watching her, became more assured instantly.
She put on a face mask and cap before going downstairs, then brought three others as she drove to the foot of the hill.
The car drove past smooth traffic and arrived at the destination. Gu Beicheng was already there.
He wore a thick, dark blue coat and a white polo-neck sweater, which brightened up his whole look.
As she got down the car, he joked, ”Jin Qingyan is really quite ridiculous.”
”Right? I think so too.” An Xiaoning laughed. ”He's just like a child.”
”The two of you stay together every night now?”
An Xiaoning was slightly embarrassed. ”Yeah, he said he wants to protect me.”
”Even his excuse is childish, exactly how old is he this year?”
”He's three years old. Jin Three Years, alright.”
An Xiaoning tucked her hands into her pocket, walking up the hill with the people she brought.
The pathway was rather slippery, so the group walked at a very slow pace.
”I heard something happened at the Jin family.”
An Xiaoning was surprised. ”How come you know everything?”
Gu Beicheng grinned. ”This is what makes me powerful.”
”I really hand it to you.”
”Didn't it cross your mind? You got thrown into prison for no reason, so I had to use so many of my connections. If not for me, the media would probably still be reporting it right now. No matter how Jin Qingyan abused his power, would it be possible for everyone's mouths to be sealed? For you to be safe and sound now, half of this credit goes to your brother.”
If he had not revealed this, An Xiaoning would've remained unaware of it. She was instantly full of gratitude towards him. ”How sweet, it's really great to have a brother.”
”Since we're here, tell me three things to make me happy.”
How difficult was that?
She knew how to sweet talk. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Beicheng.”
”Umm?”
”There's a place in my heart for you that no one can ever replace. I already treat you as family; this place is one reserved for those dear to me.”
Gu Beicheng's heart stirred. ”What's the second thing?”
”If there's any problem in the future that the Gu family cannot solve and I just happen to be able to lend a hand, I'll help the Gu family settle it at all costs. As long as I can do it, what I promised Grandfather, I won't forget.”
”What about the third thing?”
An Xiaoning hesitated for a moment, then said, ”The world is so big. For us to meet, it's really not easy. I'm happy to have met you.”
Gu Beicheng looked up at the sky, the ends of his lips curling into a smile. ”Whether they're coming from your heart or just words to humor me, I'm taking them for real.”
