“Alright, I’ll be waiting here.”
Gu Beicheng and Jin Qingyan had been arch enemies and rivals in business for years.
Little did he expect that he would one day be so bored as to create a surprise for Jin Qingyan. Pigs were going to fly.
“Young Sir, Mr. Gu is waiting at the entrance. He’d like to see you.”
“Gu Beicheng?” After a mont of hesitation, Jin Qingyan said, “I just happened to have sothing to tell him too. Allow him in.”
“Alright.”
Fan Shixin turned around to let Gu Beicheng in.
Upon sight of Jin Qingyan, Gu Beicheng said, “I went to look for you at your bridal chamber before coming here. This place is so well renovated, eh? Do you plan to make this the new bridal chamber?”
“You’ve guessed it. I was planning to look you up too, actually,” Jin Qingyan answered with a straight face.
Gu Beicheng raised his brows in surprise. “You were going to look for ?”
“Yes, I have sothing to tell you. Your family must know about this,” said Jin Qingyan, looking at Gu Beicheng in the eye.
“What is it about?”
“Xiaoning is still alive.”
Staring at him, Gu Beicheng grimaced in bewildernt, montarily speechless.
Thinking that he must have been shocked, Jin Qingyan said, “She’s upstairs right now. Would you like to bring her down?”
“She’s upstairs?” Gu Beicheng was dumbfounded. If An Xiaoning was upstairs, then who was the person waiting for him outside?
“Bring her down to let have a look then.” Gu Beicheng sat down on the couch, maintaining his composure.
Jin Qingyan motioned to Fan Shixin and instructed, “Please ask her to co down.”
“Yes, Young Sir.”
Gu Beicheng did not ask any further questions and continued to wait in puzzlent.
A minute later, footsteps could be heard from the stairs.
Gu Beicheng was overwheld with perplexity as he stared at the woman who was making her way down slowly. “Let make a call.”
Jin Qingyan did not react much, thinking that he was going to call the Gu family.
Gu Beicheng gave An Xiaoning a call and said, “Wait for for a little while.”
“Alright.”
Gu Beicheng ended the call and stood up to walk towards Gu Xiaoning. Staring at the woman before him who looked exactly like An Xiaoning, he asked, “You’re An Xiaoning?”
“I am Gu Xiaoning. My last na shall be ‘Gu’ from now on,” Gu Xiaoning answered.
Gu Beicheng was appalled and dumbstruck to hear that they even had the sa voice.
Just what was going on?
Was this a case of doppelgangers?
However, Gu Beicheng knew clearly which one of them was the real An Xiaoning.
“Why is your last na ‘Gu’? It’s clearly ‘An’.”
“Qingyan wanted to have that last na.”
“You decided to take up the last na ‘Gu’ just because he wants you to. Are you that obedient and compliant towards him?”
“Of course, he’s the man I love most.”
She had answered without hesitation at all.
If he had not known that the real An Xiaoning was alive beforehand, he would have really taken the imposter for the real deal.
Even if they were identical twins, there was no way their voices would be exactly the sa, unless she was a clone.
“Don’t you have any questions?” asked Jin Qingyan, puzzled at Gu Beicheng’s unusually calm reaction.
“Of course I have a lot to ask. Xiaoning clearly stopped breathing and passed away. Could you tell what happened exactly?” Gu Beicheng answered.
“I used a special thod to bring her back to life. Isn’t it wonderful that she’s alive? The other things shouldn’t matter.”
Gu Beicheng rubbed his nose lightly and said, “That’s true. I’m really glad to see that she’s still alive.”
“By the way, why did you co to look for at such a late hour?”
Gu Beicheng shook his head and said, “Doesn’t matter anymore.”
He then turned around to leave.
Jin Qingyan was ill at ease as he watched Gu Beicheng’s figure recede, thinking that the latter must have had sothing important to say since he dropped by so suddenly.
i Yangyang and An Xiaoning’s spirits were dampened as soon as Gu Beicheng erged from the entrance.
“Sis, why did Mr. Gu co out alone?”
“I don’t know.”
Gu Beicheng got into the car and turned around to say to An Xiaoning, “I didn’t tell him.”
“Huh?”
“Mr. Gu, why didn’t you tell him?”
“Xiaoning, there’s a woman who looks exactly like you with Jin Qingyan right now. Even her voice is identical to yours. Her na is Gu Xiaoning. I asked her why her last na was ‘Gu’ and she answered that it was Jin Qingyan who gave her that last na. I initially thought that Jin Qingyan knew about what happened when he first ntioned that you were alive. Yet, he actually showed a replica of you,” Gu Beicheng explained.
An Xiaoning felt her heart sink imdiately. “What do you an? She looks exactly like ?” she asked in puzzlent.
“Yes, entirely identical. Her height, appearance, and even her voice are the sa as yours. This is impossible even in the case of twins. I reckon it must be a clone.”
“I know what happened.” Reminded of the ti when Xi Bolai extracted her DNA, An Xiaoning explained, “Xi Bolai wanted to create an exact clone of back then. But he was later killed by Jin Qingyan. I guess the clone must’ve landed in the hands of Jin Qingyan.”
“Besides... this Gu Xiaoning seems to be here as your substitute and to replace all of your positions,” said Gu Beicheng.
“Replace ? Other than the fact that she’s physically identical to , can she really replace in other aspects?” An Xiaoning scoffed.
“It’s so infuriating! She’s going to beco my sister’s imposter with that face of hers. Sis, let’s go in right now. Mr. Jin will definitely get rid of that clone once he sees you!” i Yangyang protested.
“Xiaoning, do you want to go in?” Gu Beicheng asked.
An Xiaoning’s initial excitent and desire to see Jin Qingyan had completely vanished.
She knew that it was not Jin Qingyan’s fault. However, if she had really died, she could not help but feel uneasy and upset at the thought of her clone replacing her and enjoying a blissful life with Jin Qingyan.
It did not matter whether the woman was a clone or not – he wanted soone else to replace An Xiaoning all the sa.
“Let’s go ho.”
“Sis... as long as you go in now, Mr. Jin will definitely choose you,” i Yangyang said, trying to persuade her.
“Why must I make him choose ? Since he already has my replacent with him now, my existence is practically redundant. I thought he would be devastated because of my death, but it seems he can just easily replace with any woman who resembles , doesn’t it?”
That was not the kind of man she wanted. In fact, she wanted to be irreplaceable in his heart! His one and only!
“Step on it,” said An Xiaoning as she leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes.
Gu Beicheng started the engine and took a glance at her before driving back to the Gu family mansion.
Upon arriving ho, they explained the matter to the Gu family, who were greatly taken aback.
“I’ll be wearing this bangle Beicheng had given every day, from now onwards. I’m leaving tomorrow,” said An Xiaoning, raising her wrist in the air.
“Xiaoning, why don’t you stay ho for a few more days?”
“It’s fine, Mother. Although I spend all my ti staying in the hospital, I’m actually picking up a foreign language and learning how to take care of babies. I’ll be making full use of my ti. The next ti I return, I’ll be bringing the child back with ,” An Xiaoning said smilingly.
“Xiaoning, let go there to accompany you. Mother can’t allow you to be alone abroad,” Mrs. Gu suggested.
