The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"She agreed. I've made arrangements with her. She'll settle all her affairs over there and come back." Fan Shixin grinned. "Young Madam, I think this lady is reliable because I've checked her teaching appraisal at medical school. It says that she's very intelligent and has her own way of thinking. While other people don't participate in research on schizophrenia, she's the only exception and insists on making a breakthrough for this disease."

"Then, give her a shot. When your Young Sir comes back, tell him about it."

"Alright." Fan Shixin couldn't help but add out of curiosity, "Young Madam, during the day, what did you tell that Ms. Wen for her to be so enraged?"

"Nothing much, I just stated the facts."

As the two chatted, Jin Qingyan returned. Fan Shixin greeted him merrily, "Young Sir is back?"

"You're grinning from ear to ear like a dog, have you found a partner?"

Fan Shixin's smile faded away instantly. "Young Sir, can you not rub your nose in it?"

"Then, what is it that you're so happy about?"

"Hehehe, seeing you makes me happy. I'll go out first."

"…"

Seeing the radiant smile on his face, Jin Qingyan asked, "What's with him? I seldom see him so happy."

"Who knows…" An Xiaoning changed the topic. "Why are you back so late today?"

"I could have come back at six, but there was a last-minute meeting that had lasted until now. I'm hungry."

An Xiaoning turned her head and shouted into the kitchen, "Auntie Chen, Qingyan's hungry."

"The food will be ready soon. Please wait a moment, Young Sir and Young Madam," Auntie Chen's voice sounded from inside the kitchen.

An Xiaoning turned to him and said, "Your table mate came again today."

"What for?"

"She said her position in the archeological team has been given to a university student. She wanted me to give Wang Jinsheng a call to speak up for her."

"On what basis?"

"What do you mean by… on what basis? Are you saying on what basis was she replaced by that university student?" She was rather confused by him.

"I meant, on what basis did she come and ask you for help? How did she bring herself to come?" His tone was cold and full of his annoyance toward Wen Lele.

"At first, she suspected I went to the ancient graveyard in V Nation, but she didn't have any concrete evidence to back herself at all. Then, she said some upsetting words to me. I think that when she was terrified because of the ancient graveyard in G City and begged me to help her, she had a better attitude."

"You don't have to bother about her. To us, she's no different from a stranger."

Auntie Chen and two maids then started to serve the dishes on the dining table.

A huge cup of iced coconut juice was served as well.

The two got seated one after another, and Jin Qingyan looked at her as he asked, "Why do I feel like you have something to say?"

"Your eyes are terribly sharp." An Xiaoning couldn't help but laugh. "There are two things. First, Ji Yu came over to pass me his wedding invitation. Second, Pei Yi called me out of nowhere to warn us of something."

"Warn us of what?"

"He said…" An Xiaoning murmured under her voice, "He said there's someone very powerful who wants us dead. They have a very strong backing."

"Why did he give us such a warning? Since he knows about it, why…" Jin Qingyan paused for a moment before going on, "Don't tell me, he feels that this person is very powerful and we're not a match for him or her? That's why he's being merciful toward us for once?"

"Probably… but, think about it. Tuoba Gucheng's dead, it's not Pei Yi, nor is it Mysterious Xiao. After all, he was your junior in your past life and it's rather unlikely for him to want to kill you. Who would it be, then?" An Xiaoning speculated, "Could it be the Emperor from the past life?"

Jin Qingyan's face turned dull instantly. It was as if dark clouds had enveloped his face.

"If it was really him, then it seems like he has shown up by himself without us having to find him."

"But if he dares to show up by himself, that confirms what Pei Yi said. He has a strong backing."

"So what?" He was completely indifferent about it. "Among the strong, there is always someone stronger. No matter how strong his backing is, there's always someone who's more powerful than him."

"You seem rather fearless about it."

"With you by my side, even if the sky drops, I'm not afraid."

An Xiaoning's eyes twinkled with a sharp gleam. "Because of these words from you, I decided to give you a reward of the same kind."

"I request for the grand prize."

"Your request is invalid, I have my own verdict."

"So what is your verdict?"

"I'll award you with the grand prize."

Jin Qingyan's grin grew wider. It was as if his words had been suddenly changed by her. Her reply was completely unexpected by him.

"You have to tell me though, what is the grand prize?"

"What is the grand prize that you want?"

"I want you…" His words were yet to be completed when Jin Qingyan took a glance at her before scanning around to watch the maids who were not far away. He then intentionally extended his leg under the table to hook around her slender legs. His voice lowered into almost a whisper as he continued, "… to please me with your mouth."

"You lecher! I knew you would say that."

"Don't tell me the reward you wanted to give me isn't this?"

"Of course not."

"Then, what is it?" Jin Qingyan did not understand what other grand prize she was possibly referring to.

"The grand prize for you is… do you still remember the first birthday gift I gave you?"

"I remember it clearly even now. Back then, we just got married. You gave me a branded watch and a letter, then it ended with a dance."

"Then, after dinner later, shall I do a similar dance for you? Isn't it a very special reward?"

"You call this the grand prize?" Jin Qingyan suggested, "An Xiaoning Comrade, I suggest you reward me with something more practical."

"If you don't want that, then forget it. I'm too lazy to dance anyway." She rolled her eyes at him, evidently dissatisfied with his reaction.

"I want, I want, I want it. Of course I do. But I need to say something in advance." His eyes narrowed as he grinned. "If your dance awakens the fiery dragon in me, I won't take responsibility for the consequences."

She acknowledged his comment before continuing the pleasant dinner with him.

….

She was yet to finish her dance when she was forcefully thrown onto the bed by him. An Xiaoning crawled up and exclaimed, "But I'm not yet done with my dance!"

He pressed his body against hers lightly, his hands roaming all over her body.

"What do you want?" she said, asking the obvious.

He asked with a smirk, "You asked me if I want to have you1? Of course I do! I think about it every day and night. I'm perplexed too, why don't I seem to ever get enough of you? You tell me, what enchantment have you cast on me that all I ever want is you?"

An Xiaoning's cheeks flushed instantly and she retorted, "You're intentionally trying to coax me, right?"

He gazed at her, his body propped up over her upper body. Under the lights, she looked exceptionally beautiful to him.

"As long as you're happy, so what if I'm doing it intentionally or not?"

"I knew you were feeding me with sugar-coated words intentionally."

"I wasn't finished speaking yet." He hurriedly added, "Moreover, I meant every word I said."

She broke into a joyful grin and placed both her arms on his shoulders, raising her body slightly as she leaned in to kiss his lips.
