526 The Secret About the Past 144 (1/2)

”That goes without saying.”

An Xiaoning initiated a kiss, which he reciprocated.

He gently lowered her onto the seat while they smooched each other passionately.

They would soon have to be apart again for a long time.

At the thought of not being able to meet again until several days later, they kissed each other zealously and did not let go despite the heavy panting.

Love and passion were in the air. Gradually, they began to lose control of themselves in the car.

It was hard to keep their hormones in check once their passion was ignited.

Thus, they could only let their passion burn until they'd both satisfied their needs.

An Xiaoning broke out in sweat while straddling him, panting heavily with her cheeks flushed red.

Finally, Jin Qingyan gave her one last kiss and said, ”It's almost time for you to go.”

Burying her chin in his shoulder, An Xiaoning hugged him tightly while trying to catch her breath before getting off of him.

She handed him some tissue paper and briefly cleaned herself.

They did not take any contraceptive measures.

The reason being that it was difficult for her to conceive and they both wanted to try for a second child. Thus, they decided to let nature take its course.

She also wanted to give Jin Yiheng a younger sibling, fearing that he'd be too lonely as the only child.

Besides, it was better for a wealthy family like the Jin family to have more children.

All in all, it was still up to Heaven to decide if she would be blessed with another child.

Xiao Huang could sense something unusual about the air in the car the moment he returned inside.

Needless to say, he knew the very reason why his Young Sir had wanted him to make himself scarce.

Upon sight of Xiao Huang's return, An Xiaoning put on the mask and alighted from the car.

She returned to the Autumn Palace.

Tuoba Danxue happened to be going out with Zhi Yin when she returned. ”Your boyfriend must be severely ill to be at his last breath. How is he now?” Tuoba Danxue asked.

An Xiaoning blinked and put on a look of grief on her face before answering, ”Thank you for allowing me to go see him during his last few moments, Your Highness. He's now… no longer around.”

Tuoba Danxue gave her a pat on her shoulder and comforted her, ”I know you're devastated. I understand. Now that your boyfriend is gone, it must be hard to find another person who'll love you in the future, given how mediocre your looks are. But take it easy, it doesn't matter if you're ugly. Maybe there are good men who are blind enough to accept you.”

An Xiaoning instantly raged in her head. Is she trying to comfort me or mock and criticize me!?! she thought to herself furiously.

Fortunately, she did not actually have a boyfriend who passed away. Otherwise, she would have definitely been driven to her grave by Tuoba Danxue's callous remark!

”Okay, get a grip on yourself. I'm going for a matchmaking session now. Come along with us. Go change into a fresh set of clothes, Zhi Yin and I will wait for you.”

”Yes.”

An Xiaoning headed upstairs to change into a set of black plainclothes before making her way downstairs again.

Along the journey, she asked curiously, ”Your Highness, who are you being introduced to?”

”Jin Minxing, the Commander-in-chief's only son.”

An Xiaoning was momentarily stunned. Jin Minxing… was her godbrother.

She ought to keep quiet throughout the matchmaking session later, for she would let the cat out of the bag once he hears her voice.

”Your Highness, my throat feels a little uncomfortable.”

”Refrain from talking then. I'll get Zhi Yin to bring you some medicine when we go back later.”

”Alright, thank you, Your Highness.”
