1069 Perplexed and Smitten 129 (1/2)
An Xiaoning's vision began to get blurry as she stood by the window and stared at the pair of floral embroidered shoes on the window ledge.
Tears welled up in her eyes within just seconds.
It was as short as the time Hua Jin took to jump off the balcony.
She did not seem to have hesitated at all.
The moment her feet were off the ledge, her body plunged downward immediately.
An Xiaoning craned her neck to take a look at Hua Jin, who was suspended in mid-air. Her hair accessories had all fallen off her head, causing her long, black hair to sway and dance in the breeze. She seemed to have painted a beautiful painting in the air.
She finally thumped onto the ground and shattered into bits.
An Xiaoning wiped her tears away and stared blankly at the ground. Due to the fact that the balcony was about eight or nine floors above the ground, she could not get a crystal-clear view of the scene below. However, she could still manage to see Xihou Jiaping walking toward the motionless corpse.
An Xiaoning opened her eyes again to find that they were hurting. She got out of bed to go to the bathroom, where she looked into the mirror. The sheer redness of her eyes gave her a huge shock.
Recalling the scenes that took place in her dream, she turned on the faucet and quickly washed her face with a heavy heart.
She recalled the words that Hua Jin had said in her dream.
\”You once said that unless you're dead, you won't leave your people in the lurch, be it your bodyguard, your servant, or your woman… if you're no longer around, what's the point of me living…\”
She zoomed out of the washroom to grab some of her necessary belongings, placed them into her backpack, and rushed downstairs.
Noticing that she seemed to be in a rush, Fan Shixin said, \”Young Madam, it's not 1:30 yet.\”
\”Get the jet ready, I must fly to Y Nation immediately.\”
\”Okay.\”
Fan Shixin had no idea why she was acting out of the ordinary all of a sudden. He immediately contacted the pilot and drove the car over to the mansion. An Xiaoning got inside the car and made her way to the airport that was merely a stone's throw away.
\”Young Madam, why are your eyes so red?\”
\”I'm alright.\”
\”Young Madam, weren't you planning to wait for Princess Nicole…\”
\”I'm afraid that she'll really kill No. 8 in a moment of pique. We can't afford to take that risk. Nothing will matter anymore if he's dead. When that happens, what's the point of doing anything to Nicole? There would be no way to bring him back to life.\”
\”Young Madam, I'm really touched by how much you value your bodyguards.\”
An Xiaoning looked at him and said, \”If you were the one who got abducted to Y Nation, I believe Qingyan would do the same to save you.\”
\”Young Madam, are you sure?\”
\”Yes, I'm very certain.\”
He smiled and asked, \”How many bodyguards are you taking with you?\”
\”None, I'm going alone.\”
\”Young Madam, I don't feel safe letting you go alone.\”
\”It'll be fine, I have this. The more I use it, the more l love it,\” she said, showing him the human skin mask.
\”I almost forgot. That's one of your mighty treasures.\”
\”Yes, I'll use it whenever necessary.\”
Within minutes, the car arrived at the airport. There was already a jet waiting for her, its doors open.
An Xiaoning alighted from the car with her backpack and walked up the stairs to make her way inside the cabin.
Shortly after she boarded the plane, it began to take off.
An Xiaoning sat by the window and stared at the ground, which became farther and farther away as the plane ascended. Regardless of what may happen in Y Nation, will I regret my decision?
Her inner voice continuously told her that she would never regret it.
Meanwhile, it was already late at night in Y Nation.
The sky was pitch dark, and the street lamps were glowing along the streets where humans were scarce.
