652 A Million Times for You 14 (1/2)

Gu Beicheng tried to comfort his parents, ”Let's wait for Xiaoning to consult her mentor and see if there are any special ways to prevent our fates from being altered. Xiaoning's mentor is highly skilled, there should be a way out.”

”…”

The three of them waited outside the room for more than an hour before An Xiaoning finally opened the door.

The rosy flush on An Xiaoning's face was no longer present. She appeared pale and sickly, as if she'd been struck with a sudden illness. Noticing that she could not stand steadily on her feet, Gu Beicheng hurriedly supported her and asked, ”Are you alright?”

”Yes, everything is fine now. She just hasn't come to yet, don't disturb her,” An Xiaoning said feebly with a look of extreme fatigue and weariness.

Mrs. Gu helped her back into her room right away, laid her down in bed, and tucked her beneath the blanket. ”Xiaoning, get a good rest,” said Mrs. Gu, holding her hand while sitting on the bed.

An Xiaoning gave a faint nod.

Mrs. Gu switched off the lights and tiptoed out of the room quietly.

She then proceeded to the bedroom opposite to take a look at Lin Mingxi, who had three amulets pasted on her body: one on her forehead and two others on her feet.

Her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Her eyes were tightly shut as she lay motionless in bed, seemingly having fallen asleep.

”Don't cover her with the duvet, just leave the heater on. Your father and I are going downstairs to sleep now. Mingxi will definitely be thirsty when she wakes up. Prepare some water for her beforehand,” Mrs. Gu instructed Gu Beicheng softly.

”Mother, I know what to do. Go get some rest,” said Gu Beicheng.

Mrs. Gu nodded and left the room together with Mr. Gu.

Gu Beicheng then ordered the servants to bring a kettle of warm water to the room and place it on the table beside the bed. A look of fear and terror formed in his eyes at the thought of what An Xiaoning had said earlier that night.

Having received such grave news, the Gu family naturally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the presidential election.

An Xiaoning's mobile phone rang continuously in the pocket of her feathered jacket while she was already fast asleep.

However, it was muffled and much softer than usual since the mobile phone was inside her pocket.

The incessant ringing of her phone disrupted the silence of the night.

After garnering the most number of votes from the citizens and gaining the nod of approval from the members of the Cabinet, Tuoba Gucheng was successfully appointed as the next president.

The former president, Tuoba Rui, handed his position over to his son.

All media and broadcasting companies in the nation were actively reporting about the latest news of the election.

The results had also caused a major uproar amongst netizens online.

Tuoba Gucheng was especially outstanding because he was barely twenty-seven years old yet he was already well versed and proficient in several foreign languages. Not to mention, he was extremely dashing as well.

Although he was already married, numerous female netizens nonetheless termed him as the most brilliant political leader in history.

Tuoba Gucheng, who had been extremely busy throughout the day, stared at his mobile phone screen with a sullen expression, for he did not receive any phone calls or text messages.

Since last night, he had been trying to call An Xiaoning dozens of times, but she did not respond at all.

What does that mean?

He could not figure if she did not reply because she had fallen asleep or because she simply did not want to answer his call.

He constantly pondered over the matter, which greatly distracted him.

He grew increasingly anxious and frustrated with each passing minute.

Noticing that it was almost nine o'clock, Tuoba Gucheng gripped his mobile phone tightly in his hands while sitting in the car toward his next destination, wondering if he should try giving her another call.

Ding-Dong.

It was the sound of a text message notification he received on his mobile phone.

He quickly took a look at his mobile phone screen to see that it was indeed a message sent by her.

Tuoba Gucheng eagerly opened the text message which read: ”Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
