1291 I Want to Make You Stay 169 (1/2)
”That's just one of the ways to keep her in line. If she dares to be unruly again, I definitely won't spare her.”
”If he didn't do it, why did he have to admit to it?” Mei Yangyang asked in puzzlement.
An Xiaoning smiled and said, ”He's probably upset because you guys had maligned him.”
Mei Yangyang leaned back against the couch and said, ”Good that he didn't cheat on you. The greatest joy in this world is to receive a false alarm. I was boiling with fury when I first heard about this matter. I berated Tianze too.”
”Why did you berate him? It wasn't his fault.”
Mei Yangyang asked, ”Sis, are you still going to go abroad?”
”Yes, I'll be leaving today.”
”Aren't you going to stay home for a day?”
”No, I can't afford to make any delay.”
”Sis, you must be careful when you're outside, then. I'm planning to visit some schools to select a few candidates for the next artiste that we're going to sign. Sis, do you have any requirements or expectations of the candidates?”
After some thought, An Xiaoning answered, ”Once you shortlist a few candidates, bring them to a room that has surveillance cameras inside so that we can monitor them. Get them to call their best friends and parents for five minutes and send me the footages. I'll observe the details and decide if they're fit enough to be signed to our studio. Good looks alone are not enough.”
Having understood what she meant, Mei Yangyang assented, ”Alright, Sis, I know what to do.”

An Xiaoning returned home to see that Henry was basking in the sun with his eyes closed, a pair of headphones on his head. He was so engrossed that he did not sense her presence at all.
She took a seat beside him and slid into a comfortable position.
He turned around and opened his eyes to look at her. ”Where did you go?”
”A secret rendezvous.”
”…”
”I have to leave later. You'd better be obedient and stay home. You hear me? Don't create any trouble and stay away from cold or spicy foods. The most important thing to remember is that you're not allowed to get near any woman except me!”
”You do have a lot of requests. Do you really think you're my wife?” he said while closing his eyes.
She remained silent and lay sluggishly on the sunbed.
Half an hour later, she sent a text message to the bodyguards at the airport. A few minutes later, a car began driving toward her slowly.
An Xiaoning sat up straight and said, ”I'm going to leave now.”
”Where are you going?”
”Overseas.”
Henry watched her leave and muttered under his breath, ”You didn't tell me what you're going there for.”
She rushed back to R Nation again after staying in S Nation for a short while.
It was midnight in R Nation. By the time she arrived after a long flight, it was morning again.
The jet lag made her feel nauseated.
