529 The Secret About the Past 147 (2/2)
Tuoba Danxue expressed her assent.
A long while later, Tuoba Danxue still did not get out of bed, yet the door to Tuoba Gucheng's room opened.
With a sullen expression on his face, he glared at them and walked away.
Noticing that he had gone downstairs, Zhi Yin frantically scurried toward his room while An Xiaoning followed closely behind.
A peculiar whiff of air wafted up to her nose the moment she stepped foot inside. Zhi Yin quickly walked toward the bed and lifted his duvet to take a look. ”Tsk, tsk, what's this on his duvet?”
”Could it be his mucus?” said An Xiaoning, feigning ignorance.
”You've already had a boyfriend. How could you not know what this is? But I'm not surprised, actually. I doubt your boyfriend would be in the mood to get intimate with that face of yours.”
”…”
An Xiaoning rolled her eyes and exited the door.
After breakfast, Xiao Chi showed up all of a sudden. ”Xiao Chi, did something happen?” Tuoba Danxue asked.
”His Highness told me to bring Mu Ning over. He wants his bodyguards to share some of their tips and experience with Mu Ning so as to allow her to protect you better, Your Highness.”
”Oh, I see, go ahead then, Mu Ning.”
An Xiaoning bowed and conceded, ”Yes, Your Highness.”
After exiting the door, An Xiaoning asked softly, ”Does he really want me to learn from his bodyguards?”
”No, His Highness wants to see you for something. I'm not too sure what it's about,” Xiao Chi answered.
”Alright.”
An Xiaoning had a hunch that it was related to last night's event.
After all, how could he have not recalled a single thing at all?
An Xiaoning was filled with anxiety and uneasiness at the thought of having to have her lips sealed.
Once they arrived at the backyard of Tuoba Gucheng's mansion, Xiao Chi told her that Tuoba Gucheng was waiting for her upstairs.
She was told to go up alone.
An Xiaoning made her way up the stairs to the second floor.
She gently pushed open the door of Gucheng's room.
She poked her head through the crack to see that he was standing by the window with his back facing her, remaining still like a statue.
An Xiaoning entered and closed the door before greeting him softly, ”Your Highness.”
Tuoba Gucheng turned around and said, ”Come here.”
An Xiaoning stepped forward and was a little afraid to make eye contact with him. He'll definitely hold it against me for kicking him off the bed last night, won't he? she thought to herself.
The thought of what she did last night invoked a tinge of guilt within her, though it was not exactly her fault.
”Have you taken the pill?” Tuoba Gucheng asked.
”What pill?” An Xiaoning asked in puzzlement since she was not ill and there was thus no need for her to take any medicine.
”Stop feigning ignorance. The contraceptive pill.”
An Xiaoning felt as if she'd just been struck by thunder and lightning. Dumbfounded, she looked up at him in bewilderment and said, ”Your Highness…”
”I apologize for causing something inappropriate to happen between us last night. But, I want you to keep this to yourself forever. Otherwise, I can't save you if my mother finds out.”
An Xiaoning was shocked beyond her senses. Something inappropriate happened between them?
Did the aphrodisiac mess with his wit? He actually thought…
He was the one who masturbated, what has it got to do with me at all?
”Your Highness, nothing intimate happened between us last night. You must've remembered wrongly,” she answered, staring at the ground.
”I know you don't wish to admit it. It's best if you don't, actually. Remember, take the pill when you go back.”
”Your Highness, we really didn't…”
”There's no one else here except us. You don't have to deny it. I know clearly whether we did it or not.”
No, you're not clear at all!
It had never occurred to An Xiaoning before that she would ever encounter such a bizarre incident.
Not wishing to explain herself further, she said, ”Um, Your Highness, you were behaving strangely last night. I reckon someone must've spiked your drink…”
