834 A Million Times for You 196 (1/2)

Just as she was engrossed in staring at the photo, Tuoba Gucheng snatched the camera away from her hands forcefully.

”Who allowed you to touch my things?” he barked, glaring at her coldly.

Lin Shishi immediately said, ”I was just casually looking. But why do you have photos of Mu Ning in your camera?”

”Get out.”

Tears welled up in Lin Shishi's eyes as she turned around to leave his office.

Upon returning to the bedroom, she called in two of his bodyguards, one of whom was Xiao Chi.

”Madam, do you have any orders for us?”

”Do you guys remember Mu Ning, that bodyguard who used to follow my husband around?”

”Yes,” Xiao Chi answered.

”Where did that woman go?”

”We have no idea, she resigned and left long ago. We don't know where she went.”

”How did she get along with Gucheng usually?”

”They shared a normal employer-subordinate relationship.”

”Got it, you may leave.”

”Okay,” said a puzzled Xiao Chi, who left with the other bodyguard.

Lin Shishi could not help but sense that something was amiss. Did Tuoba Gucheng hide that woman?

It's very likely for that to have happened.

Yet, another voice in her head was telling her, ”That Mu Ning looks so ordinary and plain. How could he possibly have such poor taste in women?”

It's obvious that I'm ten times prettier than she is.

How conflicting and mind-boggling.

Lin Shishi could not wrap her head around what was going on. She decided to call her brother and ask for his help in finding out more about Mu Ning.

After waiting for several hours, she received disappointing results.

There were only a few people in the nation who shared the same name as Mu Ning. However, none of the information and photos she received were related to the Mu Ning she was concerned with.

Lin Shishi was perturbed and vexed.

She was stuck in a huge dilemma and found the entire situation extremely absurd. She could not figure out just what about Mu Ning was attractive.

She did not have an outgoing personality and looked extremely average.

Tuoba Gucheng must have lost his mind to have fallen for a woman like her.

But, how can those photos of her in his camera be explained?

Why did he snap photos of her when she was sleeping?

Tuoba Gucheng browsed through the photos again. He had been staring at them for a long time while chugging some alcohol last night.

He could clearly remember that those photos were taken when she was asleep beside him, during the time that she was possessed by the spirit of his deceased golden retriever.

At that point, he was not married yet.

At that point, he had no idea that she was An Xiaoning.

At that point, their relationship was not as strained as it was now.

At that point, he was bent on protecting her by doing everything in his power.

Everything had changed.

He could not bear to delete the photos, for he no longer had the chance to take such photos again.

Yet, it would spark more issues if he did not delete them.

After much consideration, he decided to delete them in the end.
