The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses
Chapter 1004 - Perplexed and Smitten (64)
The air reeked of a post-coital ambiance. Jin Qingyan cleaned up the mess before carrying her onto the couch.
He pulled out some tissues and used them to wipe her sweaty hair and forehead.
"Do you want some water?"
"Yes."
"You must be parched and your throat must be burning after moaning for an entire hour. I really enjoy hearing your moans. They're like my ecstasy," he said, handing her a glass of water.
She glared at him and said, "Cut it out…"
"Besides, whenever you contract, I always wonder what's going to happen if I can't pull out."
"Jin Qingyan!"
"I'm here, do you have any orders for me, milady?"
"Shut your trap."
"Okay."
An Xiaoning chuckled in amusement and adjusted her clothing before lying down on the couch. "I'm not going anywhere today. I just want to spend time with you properly, even if we don't talk at all. So just go ahead with what you're busy with. Don't mind me."
"Do you want to use the laptop? I'll hand it to you."
"Yes, please, I'll be so bored otherwise."
He switched on his laptop and placed it on the swivel chair, which he then pushed toward her.
However, he could not ignore her completely.
She was an ultimate distraction to him, for he would steal a glance at her every few minutes.
Sensing that he was losing focus, she looked at her watch and said, "What would you like to have for lunch? I'll go buy some food right now. Let's head to the museum once you're done with work at five."
"You decide. I'll enjoy whatever food you buy. Get some rest before you go."
"Okay. Then you'd better focus on your work and stop staring at me."
"I really wish I had three eyes. That way, I'll be able to look at you with my third eye when the other two are focused on the documents."
"…"
An Xiaoning headed downstairs to buy some food after taking a break.
The employees thought that she had already left. To their surprise, she returned again forty minutes later with a big bag of delicacies. They could guess that she was about to have lunch with their CEO.
The lobby manager said, "Young Madam, you should've just let the underlings go out to get takeout. You didn't have to make the trip personally."
"All of you were busy working, it won't be good for me to disturb you guys. Besides, I didn't know what I wanted to eat so I had to take a look before deciding."
"Yes, yes."
She then began walking toward the elevator.
Once she arrived upstairs, the two of them dug into the food together. At this very moment, she received a call from Shi Qingzhou.
Shi Qingzhou informed her that Tuoba Gucheng had begun showing signs of regaining his consciousness and asked if she should administer him with the chemical again.
After some consideration, An Xiaoning decided that there was no need to continue with that and instead told her mother to just instruct the bodyguards to guard him closely.
"We can continue manipulating his thoughts, actually. That'll prevent us from facing any unnecessary troubles anyway. Keeping a close eye on him also works, but it's better to keep manipulating him."
"Mother, let's just let him regain his consciousness. After all, he'll only understand how torturous it is to be in this predicament after coming to terms with reality."
"Sounds good too."
An Xiaoning ended the call and looked at Jin Qingyan. "In hindsight, it was really tough and tricky dealing with Tuoba Gucheng. Had we made any slight blunder, things would have been way different now. He's very extreme and obstinate."
"Regardless of the process, the outcome is that he has completely lost this battle. Was he even fit to be the president when all he did was abuse his authority? Good that he has been stripped of his position, lest he creates even more trouble in the future."
An Xiaoning disposed of the leftovers into the dustbin before saying, "Let's not talk about this now. After you're done with work, let's go take a look at the museum. However, I think I can roughly guess why Mysterious Xiao wanted the corpse to go on exhibition and for her photos to be published on the news."
"I think we share the same thoughts. He's probably been trying to search for that woman's reincarnation but to no avail. Thus, he's getting a little impatient and eager now. He probably thinks that the reincarnation of the woman would look exactly the same as she did in her previous lifetime since he saw that that was the case for us. Thus, he wants the appearance of this corpse to be published on the news so he could attempt to find someone who looks identical."
An Xiaoning was in utmost awe. "Seems like this woman must be the love of his life. Back then, I was guessing that she was either his lover or his sister."
"If we had a tragic ending in our previous lifetime, he probably wasn't any better off than us."
"Yes…"

Gazing at Fang Erlan, Mei Yangyang explained, "It'll take some time for the full sum of your wage to be transferred to your account. However, I can get them to transfer the full amount to you in advance if you need it eagerly to purchase a house. After all, Sis is the investor of this film and we're allowed to make such a request."
"Thank you, Sis Yangyang."
"But which estate is that apartment in? How much does it cost?"
"Qingyuan Estate. It's a two-bedder that has an area of 85 square meters, each costing 39 thousand dollars. It'll cost me more than 3.3 million dollars."
Mei Yangyang asked, "Did you look for a property agency or…?"
"Um… Yan Ge lives there and he was the one who showed me the apartment."
Mei Yangyang immediately asked, "Does he live near the apartment you're interested in buying?"
"Yes. It's right opposite," Fang Erlan answered with a nod.
Mei Yangyang exclaimed in shock, "What? Opposite!?! You and he are now…"
"Sis, don't be mistaken, we're just ordinary friends now."
"If you're just ordinary friends, why would he recommend the apartment opposite his to you? Could it be that he had developed feelings for you after working with you for so long?"
"Impossible." Although that was what Fang Erlan said on the surface, she could not help but recall the words he had said to her in the hotel room that night. She could not tell if he had really meant it or if he was merely joking.
"Although we're now in the post-production stage and it wouldn't be too bad of an idea for you two to be rumored to be in a relationship, I still think you should look for another apartment. You're living too close together. You'll be easily misunderstood and criticized by his fans. However, it's not out of the question if you'd really like to live there. It's all up to you."
Fang Erlan took her words into consideration and was constantly pondering over the apartment while on her way back. Before she even reached home, she received a call from Jing Shui.
"Erlan, let's have lunch together later. It's your birthday today. My treat."
"You don't have to go to that expense. I've already eaten."
"Well, I've already inquired from the sales office of my estate. They don't have two-bedders, but there are three-bedders available at an affordable price. Would you like to come and take a look?"
"I've gone to Yan Ge's estate this morning. There's a two-bedder available and I'm considering it."
After a few seconds of silence, Jing Shui asked, "Have you fallen in love with Yan Ge?"
"No, why would you ask that?"
