505 The Secret About the Past 123 (2/2)
”Then are you dying to fall in love right now?” Tuoba Danxue laughed. ”If you take a fancy to someone, I'll help you. Although I may not be able to decide for myself, I can definitely do so for you. I'll allow you to start a relationship.”
Zhi Yin broke into a wide grin. ”But, Your Highness, you can't decide for the person I like.”
”Don't tell me you've fallen for the President?”
”Your Highness!” Zhi Yin stomped her foot in surprise. ”If someone were to hear that, both you and I will be punished! It's your father that you're talking about.”
Tuoba Danxue couldn't stop giggling in delight. ”It's just a joke. Look at you, getting all serious and worked up.”
”Of course I have to be serious.”
”Then, who have you taken a fancy to?”
Zhi Yin shook her head. ”I don't want to say.”
”Tell me, I can help you.”
”Then you have to keep it a secret. You as well…” She turned to An Xiaoning. ”Don't tell a single soul.”
”Yes.” An Xiaoning nodded in acknowledgment, her face extremely sincere.
”Quick, tell me.”
”Your Highness, it's the First Prince.”
Tuoba Danxue was taken aback. ”My eldest brother?”
”Umm. I told you, you can't help me. But, Your Highness, I don't harbor any thoughts. I just simply like him. His Highness is so handsome, I'm sure very few girls here don't like him.”
”But, don't they like my second brother more? My eldest brother is so serious…”
”I like the Second Prince as well…”
Tuoba Danxue immediately disregarded her words, commenting plainly, ”The kind of feelings you're talking about isn't love, then. Find someone you really like. I really can't help you.”
”I'm just saying it for fun. It's purely admiration.”
Tuoba Danxue noticed An Xiaoning wasn't speaking, so she asked, ”Have you been in a relationship?”
”Yes?”
”How does it feel?”
”Feel?” An Xiaoning slowly explained, ”Although I went through and suffered a lot being with him, I still love life and harbor expectations for the future.”
”I like how you put it.” Tuoba Danxue fixed her gaze on her. ”Have the two of you broken up now?”
”No.”
”Very good,” she remarked frankly. ”Then I wouldn't have to worry about you being like Zhi Yin and the other girls who have a crush on my brothers.”
Although An Xiaoning kept a calm smile on her face, the thoughts that filled up her mind made her heart race like the scene of a battlefield.
Having a crush on men?
What kind of handsome men had she not seen before?
Putting aside the fact that her husband Jin Qingyan was remarkably handsome, Gu Beicheng had the charming look of a bad boy while Ye Xiaotian, Ling Ciye, and Long Tianze were comparably good-looking as well.
Did she really think that just because she had an ordinary-looking face, she was a country bumpkin?
She really underestimated An Xiaoning, didn't she?
”Your Highness, with Mu Ning's looks, I'm sure her boyfriend couldn't possibly be handsome as well.”
Tuoba Danxue only laughed and did not reply to her, obviously agreeing with what she had said.
An Xiaoning pretended that she had not heard it and fixed her gaze forward, following behind them.
After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached the place where Tuoba Gucheng lived. The three entered one after another.
Looking at this house, An Xiaoning noticed that there was a huge amount of trees planted everywhere. It made one feel serene and peaceful at heart.
Reaching the entrance of the living room, Tuoba Danxue then called out, ”Second Brother, you're actually at home?”
