651 A Million Times for You 13 (2/2)

They headed home together since they arrived in the same car.

Once they arrived home, the family of five sat on the couch. After reading Mr. and Mrs. Gu's birth characters, An Xiaoning said, ”Father, you will be safe, but you have to cut down on your smoking because your lungs are going to be uncomfortable. Mother, you still have to avoid leaving the house whenever you go out. Do bring along more bodyguards with you even if you're just going out to take a breather.”

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were relieved to hear her words.

An Xiaoning then read Lin Mingxi's birth characters, after which she stared at the latter with a grave expression on her face.

”Xiaoning, don't look at me like that, it's intimidating. Am I going to meet with a rocky path soon?” Lin Mingxi asked, feeling ill at ease.

An Xiaoning remained silent and stared at the table, seemingly thinking about something.

Seemingly having guessed something, Gu Beicheng said, ”Xiaoning, there are no outsiders here. Just tell us straight about what's on your mind. We've prepared ourselves mentally.”

”I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?”

After a moment of silence, Lin Mingxi answered, ”Bad news first.”

”The bad news is, I couldn't read your fortune based on your birth characters. Your fate has been altered not long ago. Military Commander Xu's daughter Xu Baizhi's fate has been altered too. She's currently staying with my teacher in hopes of changing her fate back, though we're not sure if it's feasible. I could read that your fate has been altered just a few days ago,” An Xiaoning explained solemnly.

Lin Mingxi felt a shiver down her spine as her heart sank to rock bottom. ”Then… Xiaoning, can my fate be restored?”

”For now, yes, because yours has only been altered a few days. Seems like the person who's trying to harm you is aware of your birth characters and is trying to lead you onto a path toward ruin. If you hadn't found out this soon, a less severe outcome would have been a mental disorder while the worst would have been death.”

”I know who's trying to harm me. It's my sister, without a doubt. I told my parents to keep their lips sealed about my birth characters, but my sister knows what they are. It must be her, for sure,” said Lin Mingxi, turning as pale as a sheet.

”Or it could also be Xu Youran and her husband. Regardless of who it may be, I'll first help you restore your fate, after which I'll consult my teacher about how to prevent it from being rewritten again,” said a petrified An Xiaoning. If she had not planned on reading her family's birth characters again tonight, Lin Mingxi would have definitely suffered dire consequences in due time.

By then…

The outcome would have been unimaginable.

”How evil and vicious of the perpetrator to harm others through such sinister means. If not for Xiaoning, we probably would have died without knowing why,” Mrs. Gu lamented, pounding her chest.

”Let me tell you the good news now. You'll get pregnant within the next six months,” An Xiaoning continued.

The four members of the Gu family jumped for joy upon hearing her words.

”Xiaoning, is that real?” Lin Mingxi asked agitatedly.

”Absolutely. Let me take a look at Beicheng's fortune.” She then continued with a look of ease, ”You'll be fine for the upcoming days. Continue to be on your guard at all times against those who are up to no good.”

”Xiaoning… could you help me restore my fate? You said that it'd be easy to do so since it has only been a few days, right?” Lin Mingxi asked, clearly terrified.

Noticing how terrorized she was, An Xiaoning nodded and said, ”I'll give it a try. Come with me.”

An Xiaoning stood up while the rest of them followed suit.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu and Gu Beicheng stood outside his bedroom to wait patiently for An Xiaoning and Lin Mingxi, who were inside.

”Thank god. Thank Heavens Xiaoning managed to discover it in time tonight. Otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous,” Mrs. Gu said softly.

”Exactly. The more I think about it, the more spooked I am. We don't even know when her fate was altered. Isn't that terrifying?” Mr. Gu chimed in.
