A while later, Tuoba Gucheng arrived.
Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked at him and asked, “You haven’t been here in a few days. What brings you here again?”
“You didn’t have much to eat during lunch. I instructed the helpers to cook you a meal. Go and have it.”
“That woman you adore, it’s An Xiaoning, right?”
“Who said so?” Tuoba Gucheng retorted.
Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ said feebly, “I found out myself. I smelled a rat and found that there were several suspicious things. My mother called her here earlier and she has also admitted that she was once your bodyguard, Mu Ning.”
Tuoba Gucheng denied, “She’s my half-sister. You’re reading too much into things.”
“But you didn’t know that she was your half-sister or that she was An Xiaoning during the time that she was your bodyguard, did you?”
Tuoba Gucheng said coldly, “Is there a point in arguing about this? You made these a.s.sumptions just based on a few photos, don’t you find that utterly ridiculous? I’ve already deleted those photos. They were just some photos that I had taken casually.”
Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ looked down and remained quiet.
Her instincts were telling her that he was plainly denying it.
That was all.
After all, they were related by blood and it would be extremely embarra.s.sing for him if word about him carrying a torch for his half-sister were to be leaked to the public.
“If you say so,” said Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who thought that there was no harm in making compromises since there was no way they could be together anyway.
“Go have your meal.” Tuoba Gucheng headed straight to the bathroom in his office.
He had continuously been getting the runs.
He almost fainted due to dehydration and only felt better after taking some medicine.
Needless to say, he had no idea that An Xiaoning was the cause of his diarrhea.
An Xiaoning slept through the entire journey home.
She did not utter a single word, and Jin Qingyan could tell that she was out of sorts.
Upon arriving in Wei Ni Estate, he carried her upstairs.
Just as he lowered her onto the bed, she opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings. She turned to her side and asked, “Are you still going to the office?”
“No, I’ll stay home to accompany you.”
An Xiaoning grabbed his hand and said, “Let’s have a chat, then.”
“You’re finally going to tell me what’s bugging you?”
“You could tell?”
“I’m not blind.”
She chuckled and explained the situation to him briefly.
She then turned over and looked up at him. “Do you think I was right to have severed ties with them straight away?” she asked.
“Perhaps others who don’t know the truth might say that you’re being impulsive and ignorant. They might even say that you’ve lost your mind for severing ties with the Lin family… However, I think that your ties with them are redundant. After all, they were established based on a pragmatic and mercenary relations.h.i.+p. You were just using each other anyway, yet they didn’t do anything for you even after making use of your fortune-telling abilities to save their daughter’s life, did they? They even accused you and put the blame on you. Good that you’ve severed ties with them. But, will the Lin Family come up with a scheme to make the Jin family cut ties with you too?” said Jin Qingyan.
The quick-witted An Xiaoning found that his words had made sense.
The Lin and Jin families were on good terms with each other and were closely connected. The Jin family might cut ties with me in order to express their loyalty towards the Lin family, won’t they?
“If the Jin family cuts ties with me, I’ll have nothing to say. But that also proves that there’s no point in acknowledging them as my G.o.dparents.”
“We shall see what the Jin family does, then. We’ll see if it’s worth calling them your parents.”
“You’re right.”
Jin Qingyan subconsciously s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto her bosom.
Her cleavage was exposed due to the low neckline of her dress, giving Jin Qingyan a feast for his eyes.
“You’re arousing me all the time.”
“I did it on purpose, what can you do?”
“Little vixen,” he said, poking her in the forehead. He hugged her and rolled around in bed. “Watch how I’ll punish you.”
“Lord, please have mercy on me…”
“No…”
After a long battle in bed, An Xiaoning snuggled up into his embrace and began pinching and nibbling him. Clenching his jaw in pain, Jin Qingyan said, “Your female primitive features are starting to show.”
“That’s all your fault, isn’t it? You only think with your head down there and get intimate with me whenever we have an argument.”
He explained, “You’ve gotten the wrong idea about me. I know you’re thirty years old this year and you’d be getting premature menopause if you don’t get your s.e.xual desires satisfied for an extended period of time. You’ll then end up being hot-tempered, vexed, and s.e.xually frustrated all the time. I’m saving you from that now. Good girl, I’m willing to put in all my energy and effort for you.”
An Xiaoning slapped him and said, “Jin Qingyan, if you dare be unfaithful toward me in the future, I’ll cut your member off, got it?”
Feeling maligned, Jin Qingyan said, “Oh my, I wouldn’t dare. Don’t you know how much I love you? I gave you my virginity and I’ll also be giving you my last. I’ll stay faithful to you all the way until death do us part. Are you happy with my answer?”
An Xiaoning smiled in pleasure and answered, “Isn’t it the same for me too? I gave you my virginity too, didn’t I? Let me ask you a question. If s.h.i.+ Shaochuan and I weren’t married just in name for two years and we actually got intimate with each other, would you still have married me?”
“How am I supposed to answer that?” After much thought, Jin Qingyan answered, “Of course, I’d expect equality and hope that we’re both virgins before we got married. It may seem like a chauvinistic mindset, but all men would want their wives to give them their virginities. If not, it all depends on the woman and the man’s mentalities. I guess I’ll still marry you because I wasn’t after your virginity when I married you back then. In hindsight, we seemed to have let nature take its course. You’re destined to be mine anyway. There’s nothing else to argue about.”
“People nowadays are so casual about losing their virginities, especially youths, who make up the majority of those who choose to be friends with benefits. Is this a new trend? It’s not good to disrespect oneself and engage in promiscuous s.e.x, regardless of gender. If you had gotten intimate with me before we got married back then, I probably wouldn’t have agreed to marry you so soon.”
“Being friends with benefits is different from being in a committed relations.h.i.+p with each other. Speaking of which, I heard about something interesting. Before I met you, I once attended a speed-dating masquerade and there was an heiress of a wealthy family who pretended to be an innocent virgin. She even went for a hymen reconstruction surgery. She thought that her plot was seamless and even hit it off with a male heir. After dating for some time, they decided to get married and settled on a wedding date. The male heir wanted to get intimate with her before their wedding. However, she refused and insisted that she was pure and wanted to remain celibate until they got married. The man thought she was telling the truth and pampered her even more. Yet, her cover was blown on the night of their wedding.”
“How did that happen? Didn’t she already undergo the reconstruction surgery?”
Jin Qingyan chuckled in amus.e.m.e.nt and said, “Men would usually climax really quickly during their first encounter, perhaps only minutes… or even shorter. When we first consummated our marriage, I climaxed really soon too, didn’t I? It’s only normal.”
