The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Pei Yi looked at her and said, "An Xiaoning, I genuinely admire you, and I'd like to be friends with you. The type of friends who can meet up often. Are you willing to be my friend?"

An Xiaoning stood up and took a seat on the chair beside his desk. Resting her chin in her hand, she said, "You're the chieftain of the DK Organization while I'm the daughter of the First Lady of S Nation. Don't you think others will find us to be in cahoots for the sake of our own interests if we were to become friends?"

"So you… don't agree to it?"

An Xiaoning looked at him and said, "Pei Yi, I admire you too, and you're very charming as well. I'm serious. I'm not just praising you because you gave me a compliment. You're very capable, but I have a principle that I strictly adhere to. Do you know what it is?"

"What is it?"

"I will never be friends with terrorists, even if they've saved me before. I'm not being prejudiced, but there are lots of wolves in sheep's clothing out there. For example, the Donggong family. Pei Yi, my greatest wish is for there to be world peace. Although I know that there will never be a day that my wish will come true, I don't want there to be anymore chaos in this world. Besides, I can't afford to be accused and labeled as an accomplice of the DK Organization. My parents are the President and the First Lady. I can't give them any pressure because things are going to get messy and complicated if anyone makes an issue out of our friendship."

Pei Yi nodded and said, "I understand your concerns."

"If, I'm just saying if, one day you ever leave the DK Organization, I reckon we could be very good friends. However, it's better that we maintain the status quo for now."

She thought that he would pledge to never leave the DK Organization. To her surprise, he said, "Who knows what might happen in the future?"

After lunch, Pei Yi left to handle some matters. Thus, An Xiaoning and Wu Lianzhi were left alone in the house where there were surveillance cameras all around. Although they were in Pei Yi's study, they wouldn't touch his things unnecessarily.

Qin Guo was extremely disgruntled to see that they were having a leisurely game of cards while she still had to serve them some drinks.

"What are you waiting for? Go bring me some cake. I'd like to eat cake."

Qin Guo retorted, "Ms. An, do you take this place to be your home?"

"Are you going to serve me or not?"

Qin Guo turned around to exit. She muttered under her breath, "I hope the cake makes you obese." After serving the cake, Qin Guo snapped, "I have no idea what Ancestor brought you back for. All you do is idle about and eat."

"You'll have to ask your ancestor, then. How would I know? Ms. Qin, if you're bored, you may join us for a game of cards," An Xiaoning said with a smile.

Qin Guo remained silent.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to play?"

"If Ancestor finds out…"

"It's alright, I'll explain it to him. You don't have anything better to do anyway."

Upon hearing her words, Qin Guo said proudly, "Alright, since you've invited me, I shall play a few rounds with you guys."

An Xiaoning said in her head, Suit yourself, I even gave you an out…

Forget it, I'm on someone else's territory anyway.

During the game, Qin Guo added, "Ms. An, do you fancy Ancestor?"

"Are you hoping to hear that I fancy him?"

"I'm asking you, do you fancy him?"

"Why must I tell you what I'm really thinking about?"

Qin Guo was at a loss for words. Pouting her lips, she said, "If you don't like Ancestor, you'd better not seduce him. He may seem cold and nonchalant on the surface, but he's actually very serious when it comes to relationships."

"Why would I seduce him? Kid, you're reading too much into things. There's no romance between us."

Qin Guo asked agitatedly, "Really? Really?"

"Do you fancy him?"

Qin Guo said in denial, "Of course not. We're in no place to harbor designs on Ancestor."

"That's true. I don't think he'll be interested in you."

Qin Guo was speechless…

An Xiaoning continued, "I think he'll be interested in two types of women."

"Which two?"

"One would be pure and innocent women. The other type would be strong and capable women who have ambitions of their own. Do you belong to either of those types?"

Shaking her head, Qin Guo answered, "No."

"Exactly."

"Ms. Qin, why did you join the DK Organization?"

"No reason. My entire family joined so I can't be an exception."

"You really aren't a decisive person. Just because your entire family joined the organization, it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. Did your mother forget to give you brains when she gave birth to you?"

"…"

"What are you looking at me for? Am I wrong?"

"Ms. An, you've got such a sharp and vicious tongue."

"…"

An Xiaoning lived in peace and tranquility during her five-day stay at Pei Yi's place.

Although she still felt a little tense, she was relaxed most of the time.

Five days flew by. It was way too short for Pei Yi.

However, he still kept his word and allowed An Xiaoning to leave.

Just as An Xiaoning was about to return to S Nation, she received a call from Xiao Chenyang, who informed her that there were traces of Henry in R Nation.

Thus, the two of them proceeded to meet Xiao Chenyang.

Shock was written all over Xiao Chenyang's face the moment he saw Wu Lianzhi. "Turns out it's really you."

"Do we know each other?"

Xiao Chenyang snorted with laughter.

Wu Lianzhi looked at An Xiaoning and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"I've never seen him behaving like this before. No idea what has gotten into him," An Xiaoning said while walking in.

Wu Lianzhi followed suit. Once Xiao Chenyang was done laughing, he opened a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips before saying, "I've long guessed that it was him. It feels strange to be able to see him in the flesh today."

"Seems like you already know who he is. Saves me from the trouble of having to introduce him to you."

"An Xiaoning, do you really have no recollection of him?"

"No."

Xiao Chenyang eased himself into a comfortable position on the couch and crossed his legs before resting them on the coffee table. Smiling, he said, "He's the only talent ever produced by the Wu family. I definitely remember him."

"Stop keeping me in suspense. Hurry and tell me."

"I heard that he's on good terms with you."

An Xiaoning chided, "I've already known about that long ago. Is that what you've been laughing about? I really don't know what's so funny about that."

"Ah… I only laughed because I got reminded of Long Tianze's expression."

"What does that have to do with Tianze…?"

"Seems like you only recalled everything about you and your man in your previous lifetime. Why didn't you recall anything about other people?"
