907 A Million Times for You 269 (1/2)
”I'll be heading to Yang Yong's house again tonight to see if his spirit has been brought away by the grim reapers yet. If he has, I'll make another trip to the netherworld. Things would be easier if he hasn't. By the way, do get some people to reconstruct a well.”
”Actually, Young Sir would like you guys to move into Wei Ni Estate.”
Without hesitation, An Xiaoning refused, ”Nah, I still haven't married him again at the end of the day. I'll just continue living here. Father and Mother aren't going to get used to living in Wei Ni Estate either. I'll be extra cautious from now on, and I'll also install a poison detector in the faucet, so as to prevent history from repeating itself.”
”Alright, Young Madam, since you've said that, just leave the rest to me. I'll handle everything at home.”
Fan Shixin headed back to Wei Ni Estate while An Xiaoning proceeded to the hospital.
Their conditions seemed to have improved, and the doctors had already permitted them to begin eating solid food.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after An Xiaoning informed them of the progress.
”These people really resorted to extreme measures. No one would've expected to be poisoned using such a method. Sometimes, others try to harm you even when you leave them alone. It's just like those vicious annihilators in the past who tried to go on a massacre and poison everyone to death in order to wipe out the population. How wicked. Xiaoning, fortunately… you're alright. Otherwise, the mastermind would definitely be thrilled to see that his or her plan has succeeded.”
An Xiaoning leaned against her and said to No. 8, ”Did you tell Mo Li about this?”
”No, I don't plan to inform her about this.”
An Xiaoning could tell what he was thinking right away. ”I know you're afraid of worrying her, but, No. 8, I think it's better that you tell her. I want her to understand that your safety won't be guaranteed when you're working for me.”
”I know I'll cave in and tell her one day, but…” After some consideration, he continued, ”I'll listen to you. I won't blame her if she decides to leave me because of this.”
An Xiaoning looked at him and said, ”I'll let you live peacefully with Mo Li and you may stop working for me. How does that sound?”
Shock was written all over No. 8's face. They all knew that she had never mentioned such an offer before, although she had given them the freedom to get married and bear children. Since she had bought their indentures with money, they would always belong to her for the rest of their lives.
Yet, she actually said something like that…
Reminded of the incident involving Sister Zhang, No. 8 refused, ”I won't leave you, Sis. You've helped me so much and you're my greatest benefactor. Since you've already bought me, I'll always be your slave until the day I die.”
An Xiaoning was both touched and miserable.
She was touched because of his loyalty and gratitude toward her for her sincere kindness toward him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
People always say that you should never try and put humanity to the test because disappointment is inevitable.
However, she was not trying to test him and instead had meant every word she said. She believed that they had the right to pursue a life of happiness and peace, and she would grant them the freedom to do so if they wanted.
She gave them the freedom of choice.
She sat up straight and looked at everyone else in the room.
”I'm giving you the freedom to choose if you want to get married and settle down or to continue working with me. I'll only be giving you the chance to make a choice once. If you've decided to settle down peacefully, you shall leave my side forever and never work for me again. If you choose to stay behind, you'll never get the choice to go back on your word again. I hope I've made myself clear. I'm allowing you the option to choose the life you want, simply because I don't want you to think that you can work for me as and when you pleased. Do you understand?”
