The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

After a deep, passionate kiss, he let go of her and she said, "I found out who did it."

"Who is it?"

"The Lin family."

"They must be feeling insecure because they know the trump card you hold and thus decided to get rid of you stealthily."

"Lin Shishi definitely knows that Tuoba Gucheng made me drink the lethal poison previously. They're husband and wife, after all. The fact that she's doing this even though she already knows just goes to show that she doesn't believe that Tuoba Gucheng's poison had no effect on me."

"That's perhaps the case. Lin Shishi probably doesn't know how powerful you are."

"She'll find out very soon. I won't be anxious anymore now that I know who did it."

He caressed her face while his masculine scent lingered around her nose. Noticing that her eyes were red and teary, he gazed at her and said gently, "Is my beautiful baby going to cry?"

Although he was teasing her, she instantly had a shift of mood and a smile formed on her face involuntarily. "Go get my pajamas…"

"It won't be too late to wear it after the shower…" He picked her up again and lowered her onto the floor beside the faucet.

After testing the temperature of the water and making sure that it was just right, they took a simple shower together.

When An Xiaoning was done showering, Jin Qingyan put on his pajamas and leaned against the headboard.

It was as good as not wearing anything, because he left the fabric belt untied and exposed his bare body. He looked extremely alluring and captivating.

An Xiaoning came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body. She grabbed her pajamas and bra from the hanger and dried her hair before walking toward him.

Jin Qingyan stared at her intently with glistening eyes, causing her heart to race. "Don't look at me like that…" An Xiaoning said bashfully.

"Why can't I look at you?"

He grabbed her fair and slender wrist gently and pulled her onto the bed.

"You're making me tempted to sleep with you," An Xiaoning said coyly, lying in his arms.

He chuckled and quickly stopped smiling. Moving his hand down her neck slowly, he said earnestly, "C'mon… give in to your temptations."

She grabbed his hand and placed them onto her bosom. "How does this feel?" she asked, smiling.

"I've touched them too often, it doesn't feel like much anymore. It feels like… I'm just touching my left hand."

The smile on An Xiaoning's face stiffened and she said, "You mean, I've lost my charm and you're not attracted to me anymore?"

"We're just too familiar with each other."

An Xiaoning would have really believed his words if she had not noticed his erection.

"This speaks for itself," she said, grabbing his crotch.

Jin Qingyan took a deep breath and tried to hide his amusement. "Like I said, you're the only one who can give me an erection. What's going to happen to me now that I'm no longer attracted to you?"

"Let me be on top this time."

"It's your call…"

It began drizzling in A City past midnight.

It was still raining when Mo Li got off from work at two in the morning.

No. 8 wore Mo Li's raincoat and sent her home on the motorbike. Mo Li was shielded beneath the raincoat as well as she was riding pillion.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she said, "You've waited for so long. You probably won't be able to wake up in the morning."

"I will."

"Just what happened?"

"We'll talk when we get home."

Mo Li did not probe further while No. 8 continued to ride slowly on the empty roads where pedestrians were scarce.

Upon arriving at Sanqiao Estate, the pair headed to Mo Li's apartment on the 32nd floor.

They sat opposite each other, after which No. 8 said straight away, "Seven out of the fourteen of us died."

"Seven of you… died? How did that happen?" asked a dumbfounded Mo Li.

He explained the situation to her briefly, after which Mo Li broke out in a cold sweat and said in astonishment, "That means, you almost…"

"Yes, I almost died too. Thankfully, Sis managed to save us in time. If she didn't make us vomit and sent us to the hospital instead, we probably would have died along the way there."

Mo Li's heart palpitated vigorously in utter shock and terror while listening to No. 8, who was speaking in a calm and composed manner. She sat down beside him and asked, "Why are you only telling me this now?"

"I wanted to make sure everything was alright before telling you. Isn't it a blessing to know that a mishap didn't happen?"

"Have you found out who the mastermind is?" Mo Li asked.

"Sis is currently investigating the matter. Apart from this, I have something else to tell you about."

"What?"

"Sis said that each one of us has the right to get married and bear children. At the same time, she's also giving us a one-time opportunity to decide if we want to have our freedom back. In other words, if I choose to get married, I'm allowed to stop working for her and live a peaceful life."

Mo Li lit up in joy and asked, "Really? That's terrific."

No. 8 did not want to be a wet blanket. However, he could not keep it from her either. "I rejected the choice to opt for freedom."

Her smile stiffened and she asked, "You rejected it… why?"

Mo Li could not figure out what he was thinking at all. Wouldn't he want freedom since he had been living like a puppet ever since he was young?

"There are many reasons for my decision. Sis is my benefactor, I want to continue working for her," No. 8 explained.

Mo Li's smile instantly vanished. "But it's such a dangerous job. Since Xiaoning has given you the option to choose, why don't you just opt to leave? I, too, want to live a stable life of peace together with you."

"Even if I stop working for her, I'll still be in as much danger. My previous master has tried to come and find trouble with me once. Sis was the one who defended me against her. Well, you can say that Sis is the one protecting me now. I've been living life on the edge ever since I was a child, and I've already become accustomed to living in danger. Hence, I'm telling you these now because I don't want to hide anything from you. I won't blame you at all if you decide to break up with me because of this."

Mo Li squinted and asked, "Are you going to stay firm on your decision, regardless of whether I break up with you or not?"

"Yes."

Mo Li put her hand on his back and said, "This is your choice. Since you've made a decision, I won't say anything else."

No. 8 was rather touched to hear her words. "For your sake, I'll do my best to stay safe and alive."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Good that you're keeping that in mind. But she'll probably allow you to regain freedom if you plead to her when you're older, won't she?"

Shaking his head, No. 8 said, "You still don't understand her well enough yet. She meant it when she said that this is the only chance she's giving us. Besides, I've already prepared myself to work for her for the rest of my life. I hope you'll consider this carefully. After all, it's not a small matter to you."

Seeing how determined he was, Mo Li said, "You're a very decisive and resolute person. I believe you must have already thought this through carefully. This is your decision, and I can't change your mind. I can only respect your wishes. I'll be at ease as long as you treat me well and give me a sense of security."
