755 A Million Times for You 117 (1/2)
He then hugged her to sleep peacefully.
After a good night's sleep, they woke up to a terrible disaster.
As Jin Qingyan had expected, Tuoba Gucheng proceeded to knock on An Xiaoning's door early in the morning but did not get any response despite having knocked for a long while. Thus, he pushed open the door of Jin Yiheng's bedroom, only to discover that the bed was empty.
He subconsciously headed to the master's bedroom and pressed on the doorbell.
”Who's there?” Jin Qingyan answered with his eyes shut.
”Mr. Jin, it's me.”
Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning abruptly opened their eyes in shock while the latter instinctively jumped down from the bed and onto the carpeted floor.
She hurriedly put on her slippers and sneaked toward the balcony.
She zoomed there at godlike speed!
Jin Qingyan was much calmer compared to her. Maintaining his composure, he said, ”Please give me a moment, Mr. President, I'll get up immediately.”
He took a look at the time to discover that it was only six o'clock in the morning!
After putting on his clothes, he opened the door to see that Tuoba Gucheng was waiting there. Tuoba Gucheng barged in immediately instead of waiting for Jin Qingyan's invite.
No one else would dare to barge into Jin Qingyan's bedroom so brazenly!
Fortunately, An Xiaoning's luggage was in the dressing room and the only trace of her presence was the clothes she took off last night and left on the couch.
Jin Qingyan immediately noticed it.
Before Tuoba Gucheng could take a closer look, he heard a female voice coming from the bedroom door. ”Your Majesty?”
Tuoba Gucheng turned around to see An Xiaoning standing outside, dressed in a set of long-sleeved pajamas and pants.
”Where did you go?”
”I went out for a morning workout session. What are you doing in Jin Qingyan's bedroom?”
”Nothing.” He walked out of the bedroom calmly and said, ”I'll be setting off to B City now.”
”So early?”
”Yes.”
An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan shot each other a glance and headed downstairs together to walk Tuoba Gucheng to his car.
An Xiaoning watched as Tuoba Gucheng's car left and waved him goodbye. She then covered her face with her hands and walked back toward the house.
”How did you manage to go outside?”
”I jumped down from the balcony… and sprained my ankle. I've been forcing myself to bear with the pain,” An Xiaoning explained, pointing at her right ankle.
Jin Qingyan wouldn't have noticed anything unusual with her gait if she had not mentioned it.
His forehead creased into a frown and he sneered, ”Are you stupid?”
”Luckily, I jumped down, otherwise, if he'd found out about us…”
Jin Qingyan scoffed, ”So what if he does? Does he really think he can act like this just because he's the president? He's a lunatic!”
”Okay, don't bother holding it against him.”
Jin Qingyan picked her up in his arms and carried her back inside the bedroom.
He lowered her onto the bed and removed her slippers and socks, only to see that her ankle was rather red and swollen. He then proceeded to grab the medicine kit and knelt on one knee to apply some ointment on her ankle.
An Xiaoning remained seated and watched him.
Her heart was completely melted.
”Does it hurt?”
”Yes.”
He glared at her and chided, ”You even managed to charm him with that mask of yours when you entered the Autumn Palace back then. You little seductress!”
”Do you really think I wanted my half-brother to fall in love with me?” said An Xiaoning, who had no idea how Tuoba Gucheng had even fallen in love with her hideous looks. How bizarre.
”It's not your fault.” Jin Qingyan handed her the clothes she left on the couch and said, ”Get dressed and we'll go have breakfast.”
