628 The Secret About the Past 246 (1/2)
From the moment she returned home all the way until the beginning of November of the lunar calendar, An Xiaoning knew that she was constantly being shadowed whenever she left the house.
She was also well aware of who was behind the act.
However, she would not be bothered by it as long as it did not get in her way.
She would avoid wearing the mask whenever she wanted them to follow her and wear it when she did not want to be shadowed.
She had a lot of freedom to switch between the two.
She wanted to go out for a walk tonight. Thus, she put on the mask and began strolling on the sidewalk in a carefree manner.
There was a gentle breeze in the chilly air, which was piercingly cold.
An Xiaoning was dressed in a casual attire paired with a small red bag draped over her shoulders. It began snowing all of a sudden while she was walking.
Although the flakes of snow were tiny, she could feel every bit of it on her face.
She continued to stroll along the streets merrily.
The sounds of passing cars and ongoing conversations between pedestrians made the streets feel much livelier.
When she passed by the entrance of an expensive restaurant, she caught sight of a familiar figure entering together with a young girl.
The familiar figure was none other than Jin Qingyan.
The girl, too, seemed rather familiar to An Xiaoning, who had a good memory.
But this girl…
”Boss, someone is calling you again…” An Xiaoning looked down to see that it was Mei Yangyang who called.
”Hello, Yangyang.”
”Sis, where are you now?” Mei Yangyang asked.
”I'm outside, what's the matter?”
”Well, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you about,” Mei Yangyang stammered.
”Just tell me… go ahead,” An Xiaoning said smilingly.
”I just heard from Tianze that there's a young and pure-looking girl working in Black Genie called Hu Xin. She's twenty years old this year, and I'm not sure how she managed to get a hold of Mr. Jin's mobile number, but she called him and asked him out for a meal. Mr. Jin agreed…”
An Xiaoning immediately realized that she had previously seen the girl who was entering the restaurant with Jin Qingyan just now at the Black Genie Bar.
”Don't men all love dating really young women? I should try finding a young lad someday too.”
Mei Yangyang knew that she was joking. ”Sis, don't get upset, but isn't there a saying about how you have to get into a new relationship in order to forget your old love? Do you think Mr. Jin is trying to do just that…”
”I'm not upset, actually. After all, I've already made things clear the previous time we met. I told him that apart from the fact that we're both Yiheng's parents, we shall have nothing to do with each other from now on. It's only normal that he's begun dating other women. We're both free to date whoever we want now.”
”I don't really know what to say now after hearing your words. Sis, what are you doing outside?”
”I'm taking a stroll. Yangyang, it's snowing for the very first time this year.”
”Yes…”
After hanging up the phone, An Xiaoning froze in shock and stood rooted to the ground.
”You accused and wronged me for being unfaithful toward our marriage, yet you're living such a carefree life now. You must've wanted to date a younger babe since a long time ago, haven't you? You just couldn't find an excuse yet… You're already a thirty-three-year-old old fogy and you still have the cheek to date a twenty-year-old. How shameless…”
An Xiaoning knew she would feel extremely uncomfortable if she did not vent all her anger and pent-up emotions.
She subconsciously walked into the expensive restaurant.
