844 A Million Times for You 206 (1/2)
A while later, Tuoba Gucheng arrived.
Lin Shishi looked at him and asked, ”You haven't been here in a few days. What brings you here again?”
”You didn't have much to eat during lunch. I instructed the helpers to cook you a meal. Go and have it.”
”That woman you adore, it's An Xiaoning, right?”
”Who said so?” Tuoba Gucheng retorted.
Lin Shishi said feebly, ”I found out myself. I smelled a rat and found that there were several suspicious things. My mother called her here earlier and she has also admitted that she was once your bodyguard, Mu Ning.”
Tuoba Gucheng denied, ”She's my half-sister. You're reading too much into things.”
”But you didn't know that she was your half-sister or that she was An Xiaoning during the time that she was your bodyguard, did you?”
Tuoba Gucheng said coldly, ”Is there a point in arguing about this? You made these assumptions just based on a few photos, don't you find that utterly ridiculous? I've already deleted those photos. They were just some photos that I had taken casually.”
Lin Shishi looked down and remained quiet.
Her instincts were telling her that he was plainly denying it.
That was all.
After all, they were related by blood and it would be extremely embarrassing for him if word about him carrying a torch for his half-sister were to be leaked to the public.
”If you say so,” said Lin Shishi, who thought that there was no harm in making compromises since there was no way they could be together anyway.
”Go have your meal.” Tuoba Gucheng headed straight to the bathroom in his office.
He had continuously been getting the runs.
He almost fainted due to dehydration and only felt better after taking some medicine.
Needless to say, he had no idea that An Xiaoning was the cause of his diarrhea.
An Xiaoning slept through the entire journey home.
She did not utter a single word, and Jin Qingyan could tell that she was out of sorts.
Upon arriving in Wei Ni Estate, he carried her upstairs.
Just as he lowered her onto the bed, she opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings. She turned to her side and asked, ”Are you still going to the office?”
”No, I'll stay home to accompany you.”
An Xiaoning grabbed his hand and said, ”Let's have a chat, then.”
”You're finally going to tell me what's bugging you?”
”You could tell?”
”I'm not blind.”
