960 Perplexed and Smitten 20 (2/2)

”…”

”Why aren't you talking?”

”What must I do to send you away forever? That's my question and I hope you'll answer it truthfully too.”

”You want to get rid of me? Dream on.”

An evil thought popped up in An Xiaoning's head. She switched on the lights and got out of bed. ”Since you're unwilling to leave and insist on occupying Qingyan's body, you have no choice but to perform his duties for him. I want it now.”

”What… what do you want?”

”I want to… do it with you,” she said, raising her brows.

Upon realizing what she meant, a sullen expression formed on his face immediately and he answered coldly, ”That's impossible. I'll never touch you.”

”That's not up to you to decide,” said An Xiaoning, who was planning to disgust him and force herself upon him. She planned to pin him down onto the couch, refusing to let him budge at all.

It had never crossed Henry's mind that he would ever be weaker than a woman. However, he indeed could not move an inch at all.

Watching as she inched closer toward him with pouted lips, Henry clenched his jaw tightly with all his might. An Xiaoning raised both his arms above his head and held his wrists with one hand while using the other to caress his face.

It looked as if she was trying to compel a chaste male virgin.

All of a sudden, Henry passed out, perhaps because of the overwhelming nervousness, agitation, and helplessness.

An Xiaoning initially thought that he was merely pretending to have passed out. However, she soon discovered that it was indeed the case after testing him a few times.

She carried him onto the bed and removed the mask from his face before disposing it into the dustbin. She then wiped the eyeliner off his eyes with some makeup remover cotton pads before undressing him and tucking him beneath the duvet. She then folded the clothes properly and placed them back inside the closet.

She finally dismissed the bodyguards at the door and balcony, after which she rehearsed with Fan Shixin the answers that they would give Jin Qingyan the next morning.

An Xiaoning was no longer sleepy when she stood at the balcony.

She was filled with uncertainty after what happened tonight.

The main problem was, she had no idea when he would suffer another relapse.

Another headache for her was that she had no idea when Henry would completely disappear.

Although they seemed to be rather close on the surface, they were in fact miles apart and she had to put in a great ton of effort to close their emotional distance.

However, she was not afraid of making mistakes and taking plunges. Being a brave and courageous person, she had always been dauntless when facing the future.

Thanks to her sharp sense of hearing, she heard the sound of a text tone and frantically entered the room.

She picked up Jin Qingyan's mobile phone to see that the message was sent by an unsaved contact.

An Xiaoning opened the message.

”Mr. Jin, I'm Hu Xin. I'm so sorry to have caused you such an inconvenience tonight, but I'd still like to thank you for your help.”

She deleted the message straight away and place the mobile phone onto the table as an icy cold stare formed in her eyes.

....

Jin Qingyan woke up at six o'clock in the morning. His brain felt foggy and his eyes were glassed over, for he could only recall up to last night.

Staring at his beloved woman, he felt a sudden sense of panic and hurriedly got dressed before rushing downstairs.

The initially sound asleep An Xiaoning opened her eyes at the instant that the door was shut.

She flipped over and continued to close her eyes.

He returned more than ten minutes later and proceeded to wash up before waking her up.

An Xiaoning pretended to have just woken up and squinted her eyes while looking at him. ”You came home late last night. Why are you up so early?”

”I'm not tired. Hurry and wake up, let's go have breakfast.”

”I don't want to get up.”

He bent forward and kissed her. ”Sleep in for a while longer then. I'll go downstairs for breakfast.”

”Sure.”

In reality, An Xiaoning could no longer fall asleep either. Thus, she closed her eyes and lazed in bed for a short while before getting up unhurriedly.
