558 The Secret About the Past 176 (1/2)
An Xiaoning forced a smile and said, ”I reacted that way too when I first saw you.”
”Liar.”
An Xiaoning remained silent and followed closely behind him.
Upon arriving home, he instructed the kitchen helpers to prepare some food that he then told An Xiaoning to send upstairs.
She was puzzled by his actions. Didn't he just have lunch with Byron? Did he not have enough to eat? she wondered.
After the kitchen helpers were done preparing the food, An Xiaoning proceeded to bring it to him upstairs. She initially thought that he was already sleeping. To her surprise, she entered his room to find that he was playing with his mobile phone while sitting on the bed.
”Your Highness, the food is ready.”
She placed the bowl on the cabinet beside the bed and turned around to leave. However, she was stopped in her tracks.
”Hold it.”
Noticing the stern expression on his face, An Xiaoning asked, ”What's the matter?”
”Sit here,” he said, pointing at the bed.
An Xiaoning did not know what he was up to, though she sat down abidingly.
What happened next completely caught her by surprise.
Pointing at the screen of his mobile phone, he asked, ”Out of all these men, who do you find the most handsome?”
An Xiaoning took a look to find that it was a photo collage of Ling Ciye, a famous male celebrity, a sports champion, Ye Xiaotian, Byron, and Jin Qingyan.
There were six of them in total.
Yet, Tuoba Gucheng was not included in the collage.
”Your Highness, why isn't your photo up there?”
”I'm asking you, who do you think is the most good-looking out of all of them?” he reiterated.
An Xiaoning swallowed her saliva and asked, ”Um, why isn't Long Tianze included?”
”Who's Long Tianze? Is he better-looking than all the men in this collage?”
It seemed like Long Tianze was not as well known as Ling Ciye, despite being the owner of an entertainment company.
”Nah, I just heard of his name before. Actually, all the men here are pretty good-looking…” Noticing the frown on his face, she continued, ”But! They're not as handsome as you, Your Highness!”
Surprisingly, there was actually such an immature side to him.
Was he really a 26-year-old man?
Why did he seem like he was only 16?
”Good that you know. Alright, you may go out.”
”Yes.”
Tuoba Gucheng was rather annoyed and regretted asking her to pick the most handsome one out of those men.
This silly country bumpkin would find anyone handsome. How unloyal.

”Daddy, who's that ugly woman? Why does she have the same hairstyle as Mommy?” Jin Yiheng asked, pointing at a photo of An Xiaoning standing behind Tuoba Gucheng, which was published on the news.
”Is she really ugly? Daddy thinks she's quite pretty.”
Jin Yiheng glanced at him apprehensively and remarked, ”Daddy, has your vision been getting worse lately?”
”Maybe,” Jin Qingyan answered, resting both his arms on the couch and crossing his legs while staring at the television screen.
”Daddy, you've changed.”
”How did I change?”
”You used to call only Mommy pretty, yet now, you actually complimented such an ugly woman. I'm definitely telling on you when Mommy comes back.”
”Since you've said that, let Daddy ask you a question. Between Wen Yuechan and Long Xiaoxi, who do you think is prettier? Tell me honestly.”
Jin Yiheng seemed to be stuck in a dilemma. He pulled a long face and answered, ”But they're two different people. How am I supposed to decide?”
”Purely based on looks, who's prettier?”
”Daddy, Xiaoxi once got upset at me for a really long time because of this question.”
