687 A Million Times for You 49 (2/2)

He locked the door from the inside.

Upon the sight of the two glasses of juice, he knew that the empty cup must have belonged to Lin Shishi while the half-filled one belonged to An Xiaoning.

Tuoba Gucheng bent forward and carried An Xiaoning onto the couch.

He then embraced her from behind.

At this very moment, he could feel his heart beating vigorously.

It was a feeling he had never felt toward other women before.

She had a perpetual floral scent that was exceptionally fragrant. Tuoba Gucheng's heart raced, and he decided to just hug her for a while since he did not know what else he should do.

Time flew by. To him, hugging her for a day would not even be enough, let alone ten-odd minutes.

An Xiaoning woke up from her nap.

She was greatly taken aback the moment she realized that he was embracing her, and she tried to struggle to break free, but to no avail.

After all, men were naturally stronger than women.

Even scrawny men were capable of great strength, let alone Tuoba Gucheng, who trained hard six days a week.

He would find the time to hit the gym despite his busy schedule.

One can only imagine how strong his arms were.

”Let me hug you for a while more, alright?”

”No, let go.”

He did as he was told. An Xiaoning stood up and adjusted her clothes. She finally understood what had happened.

”Did you get someone to spike the fruit juices?”

”Of course.”

”You're too brazen, aren't you? What if Shishi finds out…”

”She won't, I'm very sure of that.”

”She's pregnant! Have you never spared a thought for your child?” An Xiaoning questioned, trying hard to keep her volume down.

”Those drugs won't have any adverse effects on the fetus.”

”Why did you do that? As the country's president, do you really think it's appropriate to be acting this way?” An Xiaoning said sternly.

”I had already developed feelings for you before I got married. You were the one who made me fall in love with you, yet you're still asking why I'm behaving this way. How would I know why? You can't control how you feel about someone.”

”Didn't you agree that we'd remain friends? I agreed to it too,” An Xiaoning said in frustration.

”I don't just want to be friends with you. Are you willing to become my woman? We'll keep it between us. Become my woman and I'll give you everything you want. I can promise that I won't touch any other woman too. I've never gotten intimate with Shishi ever since she got pregnant.”

An Xiaoning was about to lose her mind.

Putting the fact that they were half-siblings aside, it was impossible between them even if they were not related by blood, for he was undeniably Shi Xiaoyu's son.

Yet, she could not tell him of her status yet, at least not now.

An Xiaoning took a deep breath and said, ”Your Majesty… Please don't say such things again. It'll never work out between us. It's impossible, even if I'm dead.”

She decided not to give him any more hopes, in a bid to get him to understand that a relationship between them was impossible.

”Is it because of the Major whom Commander-in-chief Jin and Madam Jin introduced you to?” he asked.

An Xiaoning's stomach twisted into a knot, afraid that she would implicate Ji Yu. After all, it was a piece of cake for Tuoba Gucheng, who was now the president, to execute and get rid of a military Major.

”Don't get any wild ideas, Your Majesty. Major Ji and I are just friends. My godparents would naturally want to set me up with him since they find him to be a great catch, but we're really just platonic friends.”
