892 A Million Times for You 254 (2/2)

”Face value is still very important at the end of the day. Although it doesn't exactly bother me, I don't want the reputation of fortune-telling to be tarnished. So, do you concede to my request?”

”Yes.”

”I'll set off to L City once I see the article published. I was initially planning to go anyway.”

”Turns out you already had plans to go…”

”Are you thinking of going back on your word?”

Tuoba Gucheng denied, ”No, I'll give instructions for the article to be published later on. Xiaoning, I knew you were kind-hearted. I've also heard the news about the donation you had made.”

”if you don't make my life difficult and attempt to kill me again, I reckon I could be kinder.”

”Sure.”

”You… agree?” An Xiaoning asked in disbelief, feeling as if she had just hallucinated.

”Are you surprised?”

”Why are you behaving like this… all of a sudden?”

”I once said that I'd ruin you if I can't have you. However, I actually want to get along with you harmoniously now.”

”I don't believe you. A leopard never changes its spots.”

Tuoba Gucheng changed his tone and said, ”You're indeed very intelligent. You really want me to get along with you harmoniously, don't you? You really wish for me to stop making your life difficult and stop attempting to kill you again, don't you? You were even hoping that I was joking about ruining you, weren't you? You…”

An Xiaoning interjected vehemently, ”Your Majesty!”

”What…” said Tuoba Gucheng.

”It won't be very wise of you to make me your enemy. I hope you'll understand that. I'm capable of doing anything if you drive me into a corner. I'm sure you know what I mean. I won't waste my time talking crap with you. I can't help but get infuriated every single time I talk to you. You really make me miss the days when we got along with each other perfectly fine.”

An Xiaoning ended the call and began packing her luggage.

She was not one to be selfish and afraid of disadvantaging herself while helping others.

She'd decided to donate that one million dollars because her heart went out to the victims of disaster.

Even when it comes to their closest kin, no one is obliged to do anything for others. What more strangers whom she was unrelated to?

How could she possibly save everyone when there were so many disasters in this world?

Everyone's fate was predestined.

One would enjoy a fortunate and blessed life if they had accumulated a lot of merit from doing kind deeds in their previous lifetime. Likewise, if one had committed a great deal of sins in their previous lifetime, they were bound to be punished and receive their retribution in this lifetime.

There were reasons for everything.

When Jin Qingyan returned home, she informed him of her decision to head to the relief area.

He supported her decision, although he insisted on going with her.

”Why?” she asked in astonishment.

”I don't want to spend a single day away from you. I can handle the company matters online anyway, it doesn't matter.”

”It'll be tough being in the relief area.”

”If you can bear with it, why can't a man like me do the same?”

An Xiaoning agreed to let him come along.

”I haven't had the time to ask you, but did you dream of anything else ever since that dream you had the other night?”

Shaking her head, An Xiaoning answered, ”No, that's why I said I might just dream of a different scene the next time. I do hope to continue where I left off. I want to find out if that prince was you. If he was, I'm going to punish you when I wake up.”
