Chapter 140: I Miss You Already
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ten minutes later, the villagers saw An Xiaoning holding onto an umbrella, but not for the purpose of covering herself. She only sheltered the spot beside her. What was weirder was that it wasn’t raining or snowing.
Everyone could vaguely guess sothing.
But it was just a guess, there was no proof for it.
Zu Dong drove the car while Gong Le sat in the seat beside him and Ma Jianguo did not sit at the back, but actually sat on Gong Le’s legs.
Seeing that good-for-nothing manner he displayed, An Xiaoning did not comnt about it. “Drive, let’s go to a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in the city.”
Children would usually love eating such stuff.
During the drive, Ma Jianguo, who was usually naggy, kept extrely silent as he sat on Gong Le’s legs. But it was hard on Gong Le, who had to carry the burden of his weight on his legs for the whole journey, making him especially uncomfortable.
They finally reached the fast food store.
Ma Jianguo, Gong Le, and Zu Dong sat in one row while An Xiaoning sat opposite them. The seat beside her appeared empty to the three of them, but from An Xiaoning’s point of view, it was occupied.
An Xiaoning placed the fried chicken and fries beside her, and added on a cup of coke to it, saying under her breath, “Co on, eat them.”
Thereafter, under the shock of the three sitting in the opposite row, the freshly cooked fast food al turned stale.
To avoid suspicion from others, An Xiaoning threw these food items into the rubbish bin.
When they reached the police station, An Xiaoning wrote down an assignnt on a book and passed it to Ma Jianguo. “Get this done imdiately.”
Ma Jianguo read the assignnt and nodded imdiately. “Yes. But, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find all by today.”
“It’s okay if you can’t find all of it today, you can continue tomorrow. But, you must be sure not to miss a single one. I’ll head ho first.”
“Okay.”
An Xiaoning and the little girl stayed in the office. She asked her, “Is your na Jiang Shui?”
The little girl nodded.
She bead at her. “It’s a beautiful na. Can Sister call you Xiao Shui?”
The little girl remained silent and only nodded her head.
“Shall we go to Sister’s house?” she inquired.
She nodded for the third ti.
An Xiaoning got up and brought the girl to her car, driving her ho.
“You stay in this room. Tomorrow morning, Sister will co and bring you out, okay?”
For the fourth ti, the little girl nodded.
An Xiaoning pulled the curtains properly, ensuring that no sunlight entered the room at all. She then ordered that no one was to enter that room.
At past ten at night, an elder anxiously knocked and entered Jin Qingyan’s room.
“Young Master, I’ve already confird. There was indeed soone who hired two top assassins at high prices to make a trip to S Nation. Timing wise, it was the sa as when you ca here, so they missed you.”
“You didn’t find out who hired them?”
“No. But for these two years, ‘SU Group’ has been running rampant, trying their best to obtain our funding support. But Young Master, you’ve insisted against it, so it could probably be them.”
“Why do I feel that it’s either Gu Beicheng or Ye Xiaotian...” he comnted pensively. “Hiring assassins at high prices might not be for the purpose of killing. There might be other motives. For businessn, making losses is not sothing they would do. It better not be any of those two, otherwise...”
“Regardless, Young Master — these few days and when you return, you must be especially cautious.”
“I got it. Go and rest, please. You’re getting on in years already. So matters, you can just leave them to your subordinates to handle.”
“But anything regarding Young Master, I still wish to keep an eye on myself. If not, I won’t be able to rest assured. I’ll take my leave then.” The elder retreated and shut the door.
Jin Qingyan picked up his phone and looked at the ti. At this ti, she would probably be asleep.
Nevertheless, he still dialed her number.
Unexpectedly, the line just went through and was picked up imdiately.
“You’re not asleep yet?”
An Xiaoning had her earpiece on as she leaned against the bed fra, a book in hand. Her eyes never left the page of her book.
“Umm, I’ll sleep soon.”
“What are you doing if you’re not sleeping? Just because I’m not at ho, you can’t get used to sleeping alone on a huge bed?”
It seed as if she could almost imagine the look on his face as he said this. An Xiaoning agreed with him on the surface, “Umm, without you sleeping beside , I can’t sleep at all. How I wish I could hug onto you as I sleep.”
Even though he knew she was just spouting nonsense, he was still feeling rather joyful. “In about three or four days, I’ll be back. When you go out these days, rember to have people around you, just in case.”
“I’m with the police every day, there are even two special ard officers. Don’t worry, it’s you who should be careful about your safety there.”
“You’re worrying about ?”
“Umm. I’m worried that just going overseas for a few days, you will fall into the hands of other won seducing you and won’t co back anymore.” An Xiaoning had purposedly replied to him in a sarcastic tone.
This drove him into laughter again. “Why do you underestimate your husband?”
“You still know that you’re my husband?” An Xiaoning could no longer bear it inside. “You don’t tell anything that’s bothering you. Don’t tell I, An Xiaoning, am only fit to share your happiness and enjoy the treatnt as a Young Mistress, but not fit to share your burdens?”
“I was just afraid to affect your mood.”
“You hiding things from already affects , you really think I won’t know?” An Xiaoning placed the book down and focused on the conversation. “When we were at the ski resort that night, you weren’t out to buy condoms. Those condoms were brought from ho, weren’t they? Tell , where exactly did you go?”
“I just went out to pick up a call. A lot of the market shares here have been snatched by Gu Beicheng. I was afraid you’ll ask who I was calling, and I didn’t want to affect your mood, so I just found a random excuse,” he replied frankly. “Also, yesterday night, I went out to pick up a call too. I just conveniently got a hot spring bath before I went back. I’m all done explaining, honey.”
“Jin Qingyan.” An Xiaoning grunted. “You’re really sothing, you can even hide sothing like picking up a call from . If you were to have another woman outside next ti, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even find out until my death.”
“Don’t be angry, honey.”
An Xiaoning was actually not angry. She could understand this, at least, and also saw an attentive side to him. Saying a white lie to not affect her mood was not a bad thing; at least his intentions were good.
“Don’t do this anymore next ti.”
“Umm, I won’t.”
She laughed. “Why do you sound so energetic?”
“I slept for a long ti after reaching here. Now, I’m not sleepy at all.” He leaned against the window. “I miss you already.”
Hearing this, An Xiaoning’s heart abruptly pounded at a faster pace. She reached out her hand to feel her left chest. It was obviously not sothing mushy, but she could vaguely feel a sense of excitent.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
“You really miss already?”
“Really. Alright, rest early, good night.”
She ended the call and mumbled to herself, “He said he missed already...”
She turned to her side and lay on the bed, her hands continuously pulling onto the bedsheets. Her face ridiculously felt hot.
She took off her clothes and sat on the bed, only in her lingerie. Taking out her phone, she took a picture with high definition and sent it to him. She could almost imagine the look on his face when he sees the picture and couldn’t help but chuckle about it.
She quickly turned off her phone, pulled over the covers, and went to sleep.
