501 The Secret About the Past 119 (1/2)

In the evening, the rain was pouring down heavily and continued to wash the ground.

An Xiaoning was actually very fond of the sound of rain.

Seeing the sky grow darker, she stood at the door, rather worried.

She was wondering why Jin Qingyan had not returned and was about to call him to ask.

Once she whipped out her phone, a familiar car came driving through the front gate.

She placed her phone into her pocket and swiftly hid around the doorway.

After Jin Qingyan kept the umbrella aside and came in, she abruptly jumped out, giving him a huge scare.

”Honey.”

He reached out to pinch her cheeks. ”Do you have nothing better to do than scare me?”

”How do you know? Why are you so late today?”

”I worked overtime for an hour.” He naturally held onto her hand. ”I must say, you really deserve some praise.”

”Your Highness, what compliments do you have for your servant? Please speak.”

He couldn't help but break into a grin. ”The young and talented team that assisted you is really capable.”

”Yangyang helped me find them. Without them, I would not have been able to tide through the hurdle. I promised them quite generous terms. You know, if you give people what they need most, they will do their utmost to help you. It's a logic that's never changed.” An Xiaoning held onto his arm. ”Do you have something else to tell me?”

”Your eyes are really sharp.” Jin Qingyan sat down. ”I want to hear your honest opinion. Do you really want to enter the Autumn Palace to search for your parents?”

Seeing the look of seriousness on his face, An Xiaoning nodded her head earnestly. ”Qingyan, if you don't find out the truth for some matters, it might really be a lifetime regret. Only after I've tried will I not regret it.”

He held onto both her hands, his fingers lightly rubbing against her skin. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”I'd wanted to wait for a few days or even some time more to go in. But now, there's a very good chance for you to get near to the members of the royal family.”

An Xiaoning's eyes brightened up upon hearing his words. ”Really?”

”Umm. But I don't dare think about the consequences.” He visibly hesitated for a while. ”If you go in, you must wear a mask or you'd be easily recognized. If you wear a mask and successfully get near to the royal family, the consequences if you were to be exposed would be severe. It's heavily guarded inside, and there's lesser freedom as compared to outside the palace. Moreover, we won't be able to see each other for a long time.”

Hearing him say this, An Xiaoning suddenly had thoughts against entering the Autumn Palace.

Noticing that she was silent, Jin Qingyan added, ”Do what you want to. I know you'll be very careful and the chances of you being exposed will be very small. You'll be able to protect yourself well too, so I'm still quite assured about it.”

”Qingyan, I somehow feel that the presidential palace is like the Royal Palace of the ancient days. Going in to find out about my past will indeed be tough. But as you've said, for you, for Yiheng, and for myself, I will do my utmost best to protect myself. No matter what, we ought to do something really meaningful in our lives. That way, we wouldn't have lived in vain.”

Jin Qingyan pulled her into his arms tightly. ”Alright, you'll go tomorrow night then. From tonight until tomorrow, I'll explain the rules there to you to prevent you from getting into trouble there.”

”You know the rules inside?”

”What does your husband not know? Apart from carrying a child.”

An Xiaoning was utterly amused by his remark. After dinner, Fan Shixin brought over a book that contained all the rules of the Autumn Palace.

Reading the content of the book, An Xiaoning was really in for a shock.

”Why are there so many rules? There's just too many.”

”Just remember them in your heart after reading through them. Watch what the people around you do, and don't be too impetuous.” Jin Qingyan read the rules with her. ”Our President is about to step down soon, it's still uncertain who becomes the new President. You must be extremely cautious inside.”
