504 The Secret About the Past 122 (2/2)
Jin Qingyan kissed her ferociously. ”You aren't allowed to get hurt or let anything happen to you. If you really can't find them, give me a call. I'll come and fetch you home.”
”Alright,” she answered, almost choking on her emotions. ”Believe me, I'll be fine.”
”Of course I believe you. Go on, that's the person who will help you.” He looked out the window and saw a man who was already standing there, waiting for her.
”Okay.”
After showing him affection for the last time, An Xiaoning finally got down from the car.
Fan Shixin drove the car away, and it slowly disappeared from An Xiaoning's line of sight.
”Young Madam, I'm Xiao Chi. I'm the secret agent that Young Sir has placed here. I work as a bodyguard for the Prince. Although there are other people of ours inside, for now, only I know of your identity so you should trust only me. Don't worry, Young Madam, Young Sir has already told me. I will help you.”
An Xiaoning nodded. ”Call me Mu Ning from here on.”
”Alright, come in with me.”
An Xiaoning followed him inside and was searched by a woman. Only after she cleared the search for any sharp objects or weapons was she allowed in.
After entering the room, An Xiaoning first felt that something about the atmosphere there made it exceptionally dreary, perhaps because it was nighttime.
Under the illumination of the lamps, the place was boundless and appeared magnificent like an ancient royal palace.
The paths inside were also especially confusing, which made her lose her sense of direction. It felt like she would really get lost at this place because all the paths converged in numerous ways.
Xiao Chi brought her to a door of a room and said, ”Mu Ning, you'll be staying here tonight first. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring you to see the Princess.”
”Alright, it's been hard on you.”
”Not at all.”
Xiao Chi switched on the lights for her and left after closing the door shut.
An Xiaoning lay down and sent a text message to Jin Qingyan before turning in for the night.
Maybe because she'd just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, she did not have a good sleep the whole night.
Fortunately, the night passed in the blink of an eye.
After waking up, she felt her arms and back aching as the bed was too hard.
Early in the morning, Xiao Chi arrived outside her door and knocked on it.
Lugging her suitcase, An Xiaoning followed him to find the Princess.
Watching the environment here in the day, she felt rather moved.
The scenery was nice, with greenery surrounding her everywhere she went. It was also why the crisp morning air was filled with pure freshness.
With her mask on, An Xiaoning walked a very long way with him before arriving before a door.
”This is where the Princess lives. Follow me.”
She nodded and passed through the door. The house was designed in a European style and was rather spacious.
Following him to the entrance of the living room, he stopped and told a maid, ”Sister Zhi Yin, please tell Her Highness that the new bodyguard has arrived.”
”Alright.” Zhi Yin worked for the Princess — Tuoba Danxue. To put it nicely, she was her trusted servant. To put it bluntly, she was but a maid.
Zhi Yin turned and headed upstairs to inform the Princess but came back down very soon. ”Xiao Chi, you can return. As for you, Her Highness has not woken up yet.”
”Alright.” Xiao Chi took a glance at An Xiaoning before leaving.
An Xiaoning, on the other hand, just stood there to continue waiting.
It was only after two hours that Tuoba Danxue finally got up.
Wearing a long, white dress with artistic prints and a small piece of outerwear, she sat down at the dining table, her face dolled up with exquisite makeup.
An Xiaoning entered with her luggage, appearing before her.
”You're the new bodyguard?”
