737 A Million Times for You 99 (1/2)

He then opened another one, which read: ”Hope you'll find true love.”

”Hope you'll find kindness in your heart.”

He continued to unfold all of the paper cranes, only to find that none of them had well wishes about his health and longevity written on them.

Pei Yi could not help but feel like he had suffered a huge loss.

The paper cranes, which he usually deemed to be useless, were giving him a headache now.

He was flustered and puzzled as his mind was sent into a whirlwind.

Just how did Jin Qingyan know that she is still alive?

Did he find the video to be implausible?

Or did he have her fortune told?

But isn't An Xiaoning incapable of reading her own fortune? If that were the case, it would have been impossible for other fortune-tellers to read her fortune too, wouldn't it?

Just how did he find out, then? Was it just his gut feeling? Did he just choose to trust his instincts?

Pei Yi sank deep into thought as a million questions filled his mind.

He continued to watch the surveillance cameras' footages over and over again but did not find anything unusual with An Xiaoning's behavior when she was in the room.

He really did not expect for An Xiaoning to have managed to escape, just as he thought she was completely in his control.

It had been less than twenty days since he caught her.

It seemed like Jin Qingyan had gone through painstaking efforts and resorted to extreme means in order to rescue her. Clearly, she had meant a great deal to him and was not merely just his ex-wife.

Pei Yi was appalled by how much Jin Qingyan loved her.

Sitting by the office desk with the mouse in his hand, he kept his eyes glued onto the surveillance camera footage that was playing on the screen. At last, he saw his mother and Qin Guo standing by the side in his bedroom while the subordinates dragged An Xiaoning away forcefully. He could not help but feel his heart wrench at the sight of An Xiaoning struggling to break free from their grip.

However, she was still taken away forcefully in the end.

He switched off the computer and returned to his bedroom.

Staring at the scratch marks she had left behind on the couch, Pei Yi bit his lip tightly in anger and exclaimed in his head, An Xiaoning, we'll meet again, for sure. Just you wait and see!

Halfway through the journey, they alighted from the helicopter and boarded the private jet instead. It was already five o'clock in the morning by the time they reached S Nation.

There was a 12-hour time difference. Jin Qingyan woke up feeling refreshed and energized after having slept throughout the entire journey.

Meanwhile, An Xiaoning had just fallen asleep not long ago.

She was the opposite of him.

Not long after, the jet touched down in the private hangar of Wei Ni Estate.

Everyone alighted, leaving the two of them alone in the plane.

Jin Qingyan gestured for his subordinates to leave and instructed them not to wake her up. Yet, he felt an urge to do so himself.

After days of not seeing the woman in his embrace, he found that she was still as thin as before.

She did not weigh much and it was extremely easy to carry her in his arms.

Unable to resist his urge, Jin Qingyan lowered his head and planted a kiss on her soft, pillowy lips, which sent a shiver down his spine and left him desiring for more.

An Xiaoning was in the midst of a deep sleep. She felt as if she had plunged into a ball of cotton and felt weak all over.

She moaned lightly and opened her eyes slowly.

She woke up to the sight of Jin Qingyan's immaculate features right before her. Under the dim lights, she could clearly see his complexion.

Noticing that she had opened her eyes, Jin Qingyan became more brazen with his actions. He stuck his tongue deep inside her mouth and gave her a deep, passionate French kiss.

An Xiaoning's mind went blank, filled with utter shock and disbelief. As she slowly regained her senses, she subconsciously tried to push him away, only to have him grab her wrist.
