930 A Million Times for You 292 (2/2)
”That goes without saying.”
”…”
After dinner, An Xiaoning spoke to her parents privately in the room about what happened to Lin Shishi. Shi Qingzhou sighed and said, ”Well, this matter has finally come to an end. It's a dog-eat-dog world, and someone has to die in the end. It just happens that we're not the ones to.”
”I'll be heading to Wei Ni Estate now. I won't be coming home tonight.”
”Alright, go ahead. He misses you too.”
An Xiaoning expressed assent and left.
On the way to Wei Ni Estate, she wondered to herself, What is he doing now? Is he eating? Or reading? Watching a movie? Or could he be working out in the gym?
Those were the only few activities she could think of.
Wei Ni Estate was a stone's throw away from Sanqiao Estate. Hence, she arrived in no time.
She drove her car past the gate and said to Fan Shixin, who was scurrying toward her, ”What is your Young Sir doing now?”
”Young Madam, Young Sir is working out right now. He's putting in the work and effort for the eight-pack that you wanted to see,” Fan Shixin answered, handing her an umbrella.
She took it from him and said, ”I'll go take a look.”
She then walked toward the gym and caught sight of two figures standing in the brightly-lit room.
It turned out that Long Tianze was there too.
An Xiaoning could not help but be amused and chuckle at the sight of them working out. She folded the umbrella and placed it beside the door.
”Has Tianze joined the gym club, too?”
”It's all your sister's fault. She insists on wanting to touch my pooping abs. I usually only go to the gym once or twice a week, but thanks to her, I'm forced to come here to train every day. She's even abused me verbally and mocked me for being worse than Qingyan. I'd rather die than be insulted. How am I in any way inferior to him?” Long Tianze groused, drenched in perspiration.
”Well… press on, then.”
”By the way, there's something I must tell you about.” Long Tianze put down the gym equipment, wiped the sweat off his neck with a towel, and continued, ”There has been so many issues with Fang Erlan, that artiste who's signed to your and Yangyang's studio.”
”What issues?”
”She's not the cause of them, she's just been running into a lot of trouble lately.” Long Tianze explained to her about everything Mei Yangyang had told him, after which he said, ”Yangyang and I both think that she's either being harassed by a spirit or that someone's out to make life difficult for her on purpose.”
An Xiaoning said, ”I don't have anything on for the next couple of days. I'll go take a look tomorrow.”
”You guys have fun while I go back now. I'm dead tired,” said Long Tianze, who stretched his arms and walked away.
An Xiaoning shifted her gaze onto Jin Qingyan, who had stopped working out too. She walked toward him and stroked his chiseled abs. ”Not bad,” she complimented with a gleeful smile.
He twisted open the lid of a bottle of mineral water and took a few gulps before chucking it aside. ”You're not leaving tonight, are you?”
”No.”
As soon as she answered, he picked her up in his arms. An Xiaoning squealed in shock and said while looking at him, ”You scared me.”
”Accompany me for a swim.”
”It's raining outside.”
”That makes it even cooler.”
