878 A Million Times for You 240 (1/2)

”Pure romance films.”

”Sure.” They leaned back against the headboard while Jin Qingyan began searching for some romance films on his laptop.

The film was a heartwarming story about puppy love. He accompanied her to watch it until the end.

It would have been the best moments of An Xiaoning's life lately had there been no disturbance at all.

Yet, there were people who were out to ruin her peace.

She received a call from Lin Shishi.

She did not pick up.

Lin Shishi continued to call incessantly.

An Xiaoning refused to answer.

Lin Shishi continued calling like a madwoman.

She called An Xiaoning more than a hundred times and finally stopped after she got sick of it.

Needless to say, An Xiaoning had no idea that Lin Shishi was filled with panic, fear, and exasperation all at once. She had never been worried about this problem previously because An Xiaoning was still her godsister then. However, things were different now.

They were no longer related to each other.

Now that An Xiaoning threatened them with her knowledge of their birth characters, God knows what she can do if they did anything to upset her…

She was just like a ticking time bomb.

After much thought, she decided that she still had to depend on her husband to resolve the issue.

Hence, she told Tuoba Gucheng about the matter.

Noticing how unsurprised he was, Lin Shishi prompted, ”Hubby, my life and those of my mother and our child all lie in An Xiaoning's hands now.”

He looked up at her and said, ”You should've thought about that when you requested her to save your life back then.”

”Thought about what?”

”If she could save your life, she can very well take it away. What do you want me to do? Arrest her and have her executed? I'm afraid by the time my people get there, you'll…” he said with a shrug.

”Hubby, you can't arrest her openly. Can we try doing it in secret?”

Keeping his eyes fixed on her, Tuoba Gucheng asked, ”Enlighten me, how am I supposed to do it in secret?”

Unable to tell the hidden meaning in his eyes, Lin Shishi immediately said, ”Send a top assassin to kill her.”

”What if they fail and she ends up being alarmed?”

”Send more of them and catch her off guard.”

”I've already tried to kill her once. I made her drink some lethal poison, and she bled from every crevice of her face. Ever since then, she's been alive and well. What makes you think an assassin can kill her?” said Tuoba Gucheng as he rose from his seat.

Lin Shishi exclaimed in astonishment, ”Lethal poison!?! How could an ordinary person…”

”That's exactly it. She's not an ordinary person.”

He said that he tried to kill An Xiaoning once. Seems like he doesn't harbor any feelings for her. Otherwise, why would he want to kill her?

Wait, no. Could it be that his love had turned into hatred?

Lin Shishi repeatedly pondered over her thoughts.

”Why did you want to kill her?”

”I had my own reasons, of course. I won't kill her now.”

”But… I'm afraid…” Lin Shishi muttered, feeling ill at ease.

”She wouldn't be so bored as to kill you, so long as you don't provoke her. Why do you have to be afraid?”

Lin Shishi was filled with insecurity, feeling as if she had contracted cancer, for she was unsure when her death would arrive.

Pangs of panic and anxiety engulfed her.

”Hubby, news of the new ban have already been released, and the ban has taken effect too. I've seen many netizens who are complaining about An Xiaoning on the internet. If this goes on…”
