806 A Million Times for You 168 (2/2)

”He gave me half an hour to decide. Shixin, what do you think I should do?”

”Hurry and tell Young Madam about it and ask for her opinion. Young Sir, quick,” Fan Shixin urged.

Jin Qingyan whipped his phone out and called An Xiaoning to explain everything to her in detail.

As soon as he finished speaking, An Xiaoning grew silent.

”Xiaoning…”

”He must've checked our call history, that's why he did that…” said An Xiaoning, trying to sound as calm as she could. In reality, her hands were trembling uncontrollably due to her immense fury.

”He gave me half an hour's time to consider.”

”Qingyan, the world is so big. Where can we truly be safe? I'm so sick of this place and I want to live somewhere only we know and where nobody can find us. Is there such a place in this world?” An Xiaoning asked with a long sigh.

Jin Qingyan could not answer her. Tuoba Gucheng was the leader of the nation, after all.

Regardless of how strong and formidable one may be, there was no way he could overpower a nation's strength.

”I'll give him a call. Wait for my news, regardless of whether I manage to convince him or not.”

”Alright.”

An Xiaoning called Tuoba Gucheng, who picked up rather quickly. However, she did not question him straight away, for she knew that that would only put her at a disadvantage.

”Have you eaten?”

”It's already so late, I've eaten,” he said in his usual tone.

”Your Majesty, forcing someone to make decisions against their will only brings torture to them. You ought to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, shouldn't you?”

”Are you feeling aggrieved for him?”

”He's the father of my son. You're making me extremely upset by finding a stepmother for my son and threatening to kill me if he doesn't get married. It seems there isn't a single place in this world where I can be safe. Your Majesty, what's the point of doing this? It's impossible between us. Don't waste any more time and effort on me.”

”Are you unwilling to get together with me even if you're dead?”

After a moment of silence, An Xiaoning answered, ”Yes. The fact that Heaven has made us into siblings just goes to show that you're definitely not the man for me in this lifetime. Perhaps when you look back on this day, years from now, you'll realize how silly you've been because I'm not worth your while at all. Not only will I not be grateful toward you, but we might also even end up as strangers,” said An Xiaoning, who was still hoping that he would give up soon.

”Go ahead and die, then. After all, I can't tolerate you not being in a relationship with me while you're alive, and neither can I tolerate seeing you with another man. I might find my actions silly when I think about it in the future, but I won't regret it.”

”Are you going to execute me?” An Xiaoning questioned, her hands trembling vigorously.

”I'm making things clear to you now. Even if you don't get together with me for the rest of your life, I won't allow you to be in a relationship with another man. You decide for yourself if you'd rather die or have him marry someone else. I'm guessing he'll make the most sound decision.”

”You're not compelling him, but me. I've been abiding by all your instructions and refraining from offending you. Yet, instead of stopping, you even went from bad to worse. You're such a disappointment.”
