698 A Million Times for You 60 (1/2)
Thus, he clenched his jaw and picked the corpse up.
Gu Beicheng carried the corpse on his back and descended the mountain together with Lin Mingxi, leaving An Xiaoning alone in the cave with the spirits.
Apart from the night luminescent pearl, there was nothing else inside the coffin. An Xiaoning then put the lid back on.
”What must you guys do in order to leave this place?”
”We can leave anytime we'd like.”
”I thought it'd be impossible for you to leave…” An Xiaoning murmured in shock.
”No, we were just abiding by Master's commands.”
”Come with me then,” said An Xiaoning.
On the way back, Gu Beicheng took over the wheel while Lin Mingxi rode in the passenger's seat, paralyzed by fear and anxiety.
An Xiaoning sat in the back seat, next to the corpse.
The cap had managed to keep his entire face obscured.
”Xiaoning, do we head back to the family mansion straight?” Gu Beicheng asked.
”No, go to Wei Ni Estate,” she answered, staring at the front.
”Why?”
”I have my own plans.”
A silence filled the air.
This can't be a coincidence. This man is very likely to be Jin Qingyan's incarnate in his previous lifetime, and the spirits probably called me ”Miss Jin” because I knew Jin Qingyan in his previous life… An Xiaoning thought to herself.
She could not wrap her head around such an absurd and unbelievable phenomenon.
It truly felt like a dream.
They soon arrived in the center of the city.
An Xiaoning took out her mobile phone and dialed Jin Qingyan's mobile number, which she knew like the back of her hand.
Jin Qingyan was in the midst of having breakfast when he received the unexpected call from An Xiaoning.
After staring at his mobile phone for a few seconds to make sure that he wasn't seeing things, he answered, ”Miss me already?”
”I'll be arriving at Wei Ni Estate in about fifteen minutes. I hope your doors will be wide open when I arrive.”
Jin Qingyan's eyes lit up in surprise and joy. ”Not only will the doors of my house be open, but the doors to my heart will also be open for you.”
Beep… Beep… Beep…
She hung up on me?
Jin Qingyan sprung up from his seat and left the house gleefully.
”Hurry and open the gate.”
”Yes, Young Sir.”
Jin Qingyan stretched his arms above his head, grinning widely from ear to ear.
”Young Sir, weren't you planning to rest at home today? Are you going out again?” asked Fan Shixin, who was in the midst of his morning jog.
”No, Xiaoning called me just now to say that she would be arriving at Wei Ni Estate soon. She wants me to open the gate and doors.”
”Hehehe. Is Ms. An playing a prank on you?” Fan Shixin said with a chuckle.
”Would you like to have a bet with me? If she's not pranking me, you shall run another ten rounds around the estate.”
Shaking his head profusely, Fan Shixin refused, ”I'm not going to make such a bet. I'm sure Ms. An has better things to do than to play a prank on you.”
”Hmph, if she dares to fool me, I'll behead her.”
”…”
Less than twenty minutes later, Jin Qingyan caught sight of a car entering his yard. Why was it Gu Beicheng's car?
He strode toward the car quickly, after which An Xiaoning alighted and stared at him with her mouth gaping and her eyes wide open.
”Is there something on my face?” he asked, giving his nose a light rub.
”No…” An Xiaoning saw the spirits latching onto Jin Qingyan's body…
”Why are you here at my doorstep early in the morning, and with your family?” Jin Qingyan asked with a smile.
”Ahem…” She waved at the spirits and said, ”Come down, you guys.”
”You guys?” Jin Qingyan questioned with a squint.
