She put emphasis on the word “do.”
His ear felt rather ticklish the moment her warm breath came into contact with it.
Hu Xin was extremely disgruntled to witness the sight before her. However, she managed to conceal her emotions well and did not show a tinge of her displeasure at all.
Upon hearing that he was about to leave, Hu Xin asked, “Is she threatening you because she has some sort of evidence against you?”
“No,” he answered.
“Then why do you still… even when you clearly despise her?” Hu Xin, after all, was only twenty years old and was more impulsive. She would often speak her mind without thinking twice.
Clearly not wanting to explain, he said simply, “The noodles you made were tasty. Quickly get some rest once the window has been repaired.”
He then walked toward the door. An Xiaoning noticed the exasperation written all over Hu Xin’s face as she watched him leave without looking back at all.
Once they reached the door, she let go of his arm and said, “I want to speak to her privately.”
“Don’t go overboard.”
“I’m not going to say anything outrageous. You either wait for me in the car or head home first.”
He walked away with a sullen expression on his face while An Xiaoning returned inside the house.
Upon the sight of her, Hu Xin chastised, “An Xiaoning, you’re really something. Mr. Jin is no longer interested in you and has even begun resenting you, yet you still have the cheek to cling onto him.”
Staring at her solemnly, An Xiaoning said, “Ms. Hu, I know you’re young. After all, you’re ten years younger than me and thirteen years younger than Qingyan. However, I must tell you clearly that he’s not someone you can touch or harbor designs on. I hope you’ll really have the self-awareness to understand that. Otherwise, you shall face the ugly consequences.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“If you think so.” An Xiaoning smiled sarcastically and continued, “I don’t like threatening others, but don’t blame me for being nasty if you can’t be self-aware and know your place. Ms. Hu, you’d better get rid of those unnecessary thoughts while it’s not too late yet, lest you regret everything in the end. It’s a piece of cake for me to lay a finger on you. I hope you’ll be clear about that.”
Hu Xin retorted bluntly, “No wonder Mr. Jin is repulsed by you. Which man can stand such a domineering and overbearing woman like you? You’re speaking to me as if you’re his lawful wife and I’m his mistress. But who are you to Mr. Jin? Are you his wife or his girlfriend? You’re just his ex-wife. Ms. An, to put things bluntly, the problem must have lied with you, for the same man to divorce you twice. I think you ought to reflect on yourself and your mistakes instead of blaming me.”
An Xiaoning kept her cool and continued to stare at Hu Xin with a smile, not affected by her words at all.
“That’s all I have to say. Ponder over the rest yourself,” said An Xiaoning, who then turned around to leave.
Filled with a mix of emotions, Hu Xin picked up the broom and dustpan and began cleaning up the broken shards of gla.s.s, which she then disposed into the dustbin.
She simply could not understand why Jin Qingyan had to obey An Xiaoning’s instructions, despite detesting her utterly.
Regardless of how powerful An Xiaoning may be, isn’t he just the same as her? What was the exact reason?
Recalling the sight of An Xiaoning whispering into Jin Qingyan’s ear, Hu Xin wondered, Could it be that An Xiaoning was threatening him with their child?
But didn’t the news report that Jin Qingyan holds the full custody of their son?
He should be the one threatening An Xiaoning instead, shouldn’t he?
I can’t think of anything else other than that…
Hu Xin was perplexed and beyond confused.
….
Meanwhile, Henry decided to return to Wei Ni Estate with the bodyguards first while An Xiaoning drove back alone in her own car. By the time she arrived, he was already upstairs.
He refused to answer the door despite her knocking on it several times. She had no choice but to climb up the ladder and into his balcony on the second floor.
To her surprise, he had also locked the balcony door from the inside.
An Xiaoning said, “If you don’t want me to remove the door off its hinges and punish you, you’d better open it immediately.”
“Go sleep in the guest room.”
“Open the door.”
“I told you to go to the guest room. Can’t you hear me?”
She raised her voice and yelled, “Open the door!”
“No, just remove it if you want to.”
After some consideration, An Xiaoning decided to smash the gla.s.s.
As soon as she entered the room, the servants began cleaning up the mess and replaced the gla.s.s.
An Xiaoning instructed Fan s.h.i.+xin, “Change the locks of the balcony and bedroom into pa.s.sword-encrypted ones.”
Fan s.h.i.+xin also found that it was necessary to do so. Otherwise, she would have to break the gla.s.s every single time he refuses to let her enter. Wouldn’t that be such a waste and too much of a ha.s.sle?
Henry sat on the couch and watched as the servants replaced the gla.s.s and locks.
None of them obeyed him at all.
After the servants left and it was just the two of them alone, An Xiaoning walked toward him and said, “I told you, right? I would punish you if you refused to open the door.”
He quickly left the couch and moved to the bed. “It’s not like you really couldn’t come in.”
He would run away from her whenever she approached him, as if she were some menacing beast.
They began running around in the bedroom like lunatics.
The bedroom was not exactly s.p.a.cious. Besides, there were a bunch of bodyguards outside who obeyed her instructions. Where could he possibly run to?
She caught him and pinned him onto the bed in less than two minutes.
During the previous incident, he had already witnessed for himself just how strong she was. She was truly an abnormal woman who stood out from the rest.
He was now subdued and pinned beneath her, unable to move an inch at all.
“Are you still going to run?”
“I’m not running anymore. Let go of me.”
An Xiaoning could not help but feel amused at the thought of him pa.s.sing out previously because he thought that she was going to violate him.
She let go of him, after which he leaned against the headboard and stared at her. “I really detest you,” he said.
“I know.”
“I don’t wish to see you at all.”
“I know.”
“Hence, I don’t want you to lay a single finger on me at all. It’s much more unbearable than death.”
She smirked and retorted, “Have you any idea how many times I’ve gotten intimate with that body of yours?”
“I don’t want to know at all. Don’t tell me,” he said with a look of disgust.
She smiled widely and said, “Haha, it doesn’t mean that it never happened before just because you don’t want to know. How about this? Let’s have a proper talk and I won’t teach you a lesson or compel you again like the previous time. Okay?”
“Okay.”
“Do you want a facial mask?”
“Okay.”
“I’ll go remove my makeup and wash my face first.” She got out of bed and proceeded to wash up before returning to the bed with two sheets of masks. She handed him one, as well as the men’s eyeliner pen she had bought for him earlier. “Here, I got it for you.”
“I’ve already bought one for myself.”
“You’ll run out sooner or later anyway. Just keep it as a spare one.” After watching him accept it reluctantly, she added, “I also bought you some clothes in the designs that you fancy. It’s with Chief Fan now. Get them from him when you want to wear them.”
“Okay.”
