776 A Million Times for You 138 (1/2)

Knowing that he was a persistent person, An Xiaoning did not want to continue an endless debate with him. ”About that video today, I wasn't saying those things for fun.”

He watched her quietly. ”Your mother has gone through a lot of suffering. You and she probably hate my mother a lot and wish for her death. But even if she's done something wrong, I won't allow the two of you to kill her. So, let's make a deal. You keep the video to yourself and I will make sure she won't ever harm you and your mother. The two of you can't think of killing her either. You know, she's still my mother, after all. If you both were to kill her, I won't stand by and do nothing. Do you agree to this deal?”

”Do you think she'll actually listen to you?”

”I've transferred away anyone that she can use to help her. If a general like her doesn't have a single soldier, how will she pose a threat to the two of you?”

An Xiaoning did not answer. After keeping silent for a moment, she said, ”She's so fortunate to have the president as her son. Can I possibly refuse to agree to this deal? After all, we're just ordinary citizens and have no power to go against you.”

”I see you were too hasty today.” His sparkling eyes lit up. ”You came barging in here without fear of the consequences. You're just taking advantage of the tolerance I have toward you.”

”I didn't take advantage of…”

Knock, knock, knock! Lin Shishi's voice sounded from outside the door. ”Hubby, it's me.”

An Xiaoning sprung up abruptly to open the door.

Lin Shishi served a plate of fruits as she entered. ”I just heard Danxue telling Minxing…”

”Looks like the whole world will know very soon.”

Hearing him say it so nonchalantly, Lin Shishi replied, ”It's fine even if they know. Sister Xiaoning is originally my sister and it will still be that way in the future. It's just that… I heard Danxue saying that you were the one who rescued your mother. How did you get in here?”

An Xiaoning hesitated for a moment before replying, ”There's naturally a way to get in.”

”What way?” she probed.

”Shishi, I don't really want to explain this.” An Xiaoning was not in a good mood. ”I'll be going back first.”

”Sister, Minxing and Danxue are going back after lunch as well. Why don't you go back with them?”

”It's fine.” Her throat was feeling uncomfortable and her nose seemed to be blocked as well.

The reason that An Xiaoning was unable to return could not be more obvious. It was because Tuoba Rui was extremely efficient in doing things and had immediately applied for divorce. This was the difference between the royalty of S Nation and a commoner.

For a commoner to apply for a divorce, both spouses had to go down personally to the Civil Administration Bureau, and to get married, only one of the parties had to go down with both of their household registers or passports.

On the other hand, for a member of royalty to get divorced, only one party needs to initiate it for their marriage to end.

Getting married was even more casual, as only a single party had to bring both of their identification documents for them to get married.

Even though being royalty had its privileges, no one dared to treat marriage as a game.

In S Nation, marriage was sacred and an extremely serious affair.

Because of this, women like An Xiaoning who had been married thrice were ridiculed harshly.

After Tuoba Rui had gotten a divorce, he added An Xiaoning's name into the Tuoba family's historical records. However, her name remained the same as she was unwilling to change it.

Even though she listened to her mother and had her name added to the family's records, thereby officially becoming a member of the Tuoba family, it did not mean that she was about to acknowledge her father.

Upon knowing that Shi Xiaoyu's name had been removed from the family's historical records by Tuoba Rui, she vaguely felt a sense of satisfaction.

This was part of the consequence that Shi Xiaoyu deserved. As compared to what she had done, such a consequence was not even worth mentioning.

What made An Xiaoning the most surprised was that Tuoba Rui actually released a piece of news admitting his divorce with Shi Xiaoyu and acknowledging the fact that An Xiaoning was his eldest daughter.

This act was akin to telling the whole world about An Xiaoning's identity.
