640 A Million Times for You 2 (1/2)
When she was lying in bed, she casually picked up her mobile phone to take a look. The instant that she did so, her screen was lit up by an incoming text message notification.
It was a text message from Jin Qingyan, which read: ”Yiheng is going to attend the boot camp at the martial arts academy tomorrow, let's send him there together.”
An Xiaoning had already heard about the matter from Mei Yangyang, who told her about Long Xiaoxi's kidnapping incident. An Xiaoning too was terrified of the possible dangers of having her son kidnapped. Thus, she did not make any comment as long as Jin Yiheng was willing to attend the boot camp.
Holding her phone in hand, she typed her reply, which was short and simple —”Okay.”
Little did she know, Jin Qingyan had been waiting eagerly for her reply and felt a strong sense of comfort the moment he read her answer.
He felt as if his senses were relaxed and that he could finally go to bed.

After washing up, Lin Mingxi came out of the shower and sat by the bed. Taking a glance at Gu Beicheng, she said, ”You seemed to be upset about Xiaoning's matchmaking partner.”
Gu Beicheng looked at her and answered, ”Why should I be happy about it? Hasn't she been hurt by men enough? I can't be heartened or elated until she truly finds her Mr. Right.”
”Do you regret marrying me too early?” Lin Mingxi asked half-jokingly.
The idea had indeed crossed Gu Beicheng's mind once, though he had no plans to act on it. ”We're already married.”
Lin Mingxi crawled onto the bed and sat down beside him before saying, ”Women like Xiaoning tend to make others fall head-over-heels in love with them easily. But at the same time, it's also really easy to detest her to the core.”
Gu Beicheng turned to the side and asked, ”What's your impression of her now?”
”Now… I naturally feel different about her compared to the past. I admire, respect, and envy her, because I roughly know why her admirers love her that much and why her haters detest and resent her so tremendously. But what's rare is that she doesn't seem to be bothered by others' opinions of her at all. Hubby, I know you still love her even now. I don't expect you to stop loving her completely, but may I ask that you give me some of your love too?” Lin Mingxi answered with a smile.
Gu Beicheng pulled her into his embrace and said, ”Mingxi, I'll be good to you.”
Lin Mingxi raised her head to kiss his chin and asked, ”When should we have children?”
”We can try for one now if you'd like.”
”I want to,” Lin Mingxi answered with a nod, as meek as a lamb.
Just as he was about to switch on the lights, his mobile phone rang all of a sudden.
After taking a look at the caller display, Gu Beicheng immediately answered the call without hesitation.
”Speak.”
”Young Sir, you instructed me to keep a close eye on Xu Youran, and she had been behaving normally recently. But when I tailed her car earlier, I discovered that she had gone to visit the doctor who delivered you during your birth…”
Gu Beicheng sat up straight, though he showed no signs of being frantic, and answered, ”Got it, continue to watch her closely.”
After ending the call, Gu Beicheng said to his wife, ”Xu Youran had gone to visit at his home the doctor who delivered me.”
”It's already been more than three decades. I doubt he can remember your birth date, no matter how great his memory may be. There are plenty of women going into labor every day. I don't think he can remember the birth dates of all infants without checking the archived documents. Besides, it happened so long ago. In my opinion, she made a wasted trip this time,” Lin Mingxi voiced her thoughts.
”Nonetheless, we can't let our guard down. Seems like she won't stop until she gets a hold of my birth characters.”
”It's obvious what Xu Youran is thinking. She and her husband are clearly planning to harm you using your birth characters, and if something disastrous really happens to you, the Gu Corporation will belong solely to Gu Dongcheng. Hubby, I think it's rather pointless for us to just sit back and be on our guard. Why don't we beat them to it and make the first move? The two of them are definitely the culprits behind our abduction. Since your brother has already made his mind up to kill you, we'll have peace once we get rid of him and Xu Youran. They're aware of both Father and Mother's birth characters. I'm afraid they'd start by harming Father and Mother first,” Lin Mingxi explained.
She did make some sense.
