617 The Secret About the Past 235 (1/2)
Bai Zhi had been living a carefree life ever since she moved back to the Xu family mansion and became Xu Baizhi.
Apart from the fact that her fate could not be restored to its original path, the other aspects of her life had been great so far.
Military Commander and Madam Xu had been trying to search for a medium to alter Xu Baizhi's fate. However, all of the mediums they sought had all told them that it would be impossible.
Both of them were extremely troubled and worried for their daughter.
Madam Xu suddenly thought of An Xiaoning.
She tried to call An Xiaoning's previous mobile number, only to find that it was no longer in use. Since she had already divorced Jin Qingyan, Madam Xu had to contact An Xiaoning's godparents in order to obtain her new mobile number.
Madam Xu then gave An Xiaoning a phone call, which the latter answered.
Upon hearing Madam Xu's request, An Xiaoning immediately rejected her, ”Since so many mediums and fortune-tellers can't alter her fate, I doubt I'll have the ability to do it.”
”Ms. An, we'll concede to any request of yours as long as you're willing to help. This concerns my daughter's happiness, so please help us.”
An Xiaoning had no choice but to say, ”I'll visit you in a few days and decide after taking a look.”
”Alright, I'll be waiting for your call. You must come by,” said Madam Xu, after which she ended the call.
Just as An Xiaoning hung up the phone, she heard the door of her bedroom being opened. She then exited the bathroom and was greeted with the sight of Xiao Chi.
”What's the matter?” she asked coldly. She had been rather aloof and hostile toward Xiao Chi ever since she divorced Jin Qingyan.
”His Highness wants you to go downstairs.”
”Okay.”
An Xiaoning exited her room and made her way downstairs.
Tuoba Gucheng and Lin Shishi were standing together in the living room, hand in hand. Upon sight of her arrival, Tuoba Gucheng pulled Lin Shishi away and began walking out of the door.
An Xiaoning and the other bodyguards automatically followed behind.
Happiness was written all over Lin Shishi's face.
”I wonder if it's real. I'm so nervous.”
”We've already taken a test, it has to be real,” he said in a gentle voice.
An Xiaoning had a hunch that Lin Shishi was pregnant.
As expected, they headed to the hospital.
Lin Shishi was put through an ultrasound scan.
The results proved that An Xiaoning's guess was right.
Lin Shishi jumped for joy the moment the gynecologist informed them that Lin Shishi was more than two months pregnant, although she had already prepared herself mentally. She threw her arms around Tuoba Gucheng's neck merrily, as happy as a lark.
Although Tuoba Gucheng was smiling widely, he was not exactly over the moon, unlike her.
They immediately headed to Shi Xiaoyu's mansion after leaving the hospital.
Tuoba Rui and Shi Xiaoyu were both delighted to hear about Lin Shishi's pregnancy.
They instructed Lin Shishi to take good care of her health and even told Tuoba Gucheng to make sure that all her food cravings were satisfied.
They basically gave out instructions that elders would give their juniors.
An Xiaoning stood by the door to listen to their conversation, feeling fatigued and weary.
After having seen Shi Xiaoyu's true colors, An Xiaoning could not be bothered to even look at her. It was indeed a shame to not have killed Shi Xiaoyu that night.
An Xiaoning was feeling much more at ease since she was going to leave the palace in a few more days.
While they were on their way back to Tuoba Gucheng's mansion, Lin Shishi hurriedly gave her family a call to inform them of the good news.
Noticing how elated she was, Tuoba Gucheng asked, ”Is there anywhere you'd like to go to have some fun?”
”No, the fetus is still young, I want to focus on nursing my pregnancy,” Lin Shishi refused. ”Actually, there's someone I'd like to see right now,” she continued.
”Who is it?” Tuoba Gucheng asked.
