573 The Secret About the Past 191 (2/2)

”What truth are you referring to…?”

”I said that Young Madam, you, and His Highness were sleeping together.” After answering, Xiao Chi did not dare to make eye contact with An Xiaoning.

Hearing this, An Xiaoning simply gave him a kick. Xiao Chi was caught off guard and fell on the floor.

Without making a single grumble, he immediately got up.

Fortunately, no one had passed by to witness it either.

”Young Madam,” Xiao Chi said in a low voice. ”This is a fact that everyone in this house is already aware of. I've been to your room to see it with my own eyes as well. You've stayed in the Prince's room for more than one week without coming out. You're telling me the two of you aren't living together? Do you think Young Sir is an idiot?”

”You shut up!” An Xiaoning was so furious that her expression turned cold.

But she could not deny that what Xiao Chi said seemed true on the surface. For the past one week, she was indeed living with Tuoba Gucheng.

But he only knew part of the truth and not the whole.

Seeing that he had conveyed what he saw here, it would, beyond doubt, worsen her relationship with Jin Qingyan.

She could imagine the state Jin Qingyan was in right now.

Hence, she wasted no time in heading out of the Autumn Palace.

She figured that Tuoba Shuo might have already gotten the structural map of Tuoba Rui and Shi Xiaoyu's house drawn, so she took a longer detour to his place.

She collected the map as expected.

Then, she hurriedly left the Autumn Palace.

After she left the front gate, An Xiaoning stood there and heaved a long sigh of relief.

She immediately got on a taxi and headed toward the airport.

The flight from B to A City merely took a little more than half an hour.

Before she boarded the plane, she went to the airport toilet to remove her face mask.

So when she arrived at the airport of A City, she had a pair of sunglasses and a disposable mask on her face.

Her footsteps quickened as she arrived on land.

There was no other reason for that than wanting to see him as soon as possible.

She only wanted to tell him the whole truth clearly.

She thought that as long as she explained everything to him clearly and honestly, this incident would conclude just like that.

It was what she really believed.

In reality, things were more serious than she had thought.

This incident was also not to be as easily resolved as she thought.

It was the signal of a red light in their marriage.

When the taxi she took reached the house at Wei Ni Estate, Fan Shixin personally came to open the door for her.

Having not seen him for days, she could predict the look on Jin Qingyan's face just from seeing how bleak Fan Shixin's face looked.

An Xiaoning did not say a word and entered with her chest upright and head held high.

She did not do anything wrong so she was not afraid at all!

When she entered the living room, a familiar figure was sitting in there. She was about to change her shoes when she realized that the shoe rack no longer had any of her shoes. It was not just her slippers that were gone, but all of her shoes.

An Xiaoning stood there watching his back view, her gaze turning dull and gloomy.

She finally went to the sofa and sat opposite him.

She had thought of the scene of her meeting him and the expression that would be on his face. But she was thoroughly disappointed by what she saw.

From his face, there was no hint of anger or disappointment, only a look of coldness and indifference.

Was it because he had already thoroughly believed what appeared to be the truth?

So he was already determined to put an end to their relationship?

If the truth was really what he saw or heard, she had nothing to say.

But in reality, everything on the surface was not true.

She refused to take the blame for it.

Nor was she capable of doing so either.
