The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

You Won't Make It Past Another Three Months

An Xiaoning turned to the waiter and said, “I’d like to have two cups of coffee without sugar.”

“Ms. An, please just tell me straight.”

“Calm down, I’ll tell you everything in detail when the coffee is here. May I ask, when did you fall in love with Ye Xiaotian?” An Xiaoning asked smilingly. Upon hearing her question, the image of her first encounter with Ye Xiaotian popped up in Bai Ranran’s mind as a radiant smile of bliss formed on her face.

“It’s been a really long time since I did, but I still remember clearly my very first impression of him, even to this day. We used to be schoolmates, but he still didn’t know my name even after several years. Ever since then, I’ve always loved him,” said Bai Ranran as she reminisced the past.

Noticing how blissful Bai Ranran seemed, a heartwarming smile hung from An Xiaoning’s lips and she continued, “You’re 23 this year, right?”

“Yes, I’m 23.”

Soon, the coffee was served by the waiter. Looking down, An Xiaoning began stirring her cup of coffee as she rehearsed her lines in her head. All of a sudden, she looked up and said bluntly, “Ms. Bai, you don’t have much time left to live.”

Although Bai Ranran had already prepared herself for the worst, she was still taken aback by An Xiaoning’s words, which had made her feel rather upset nonetheless. However, she tried to contain and suppress her emotions with all her might and asked calmly, “Ms. An, I believe you completely. Could you tell me exactly how long I have left?”

“You won’t make it past another three months.”

An Xiaoning’s words hit her like a hurricane and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably. With a bitter smile, she said, “I’m getting married on the 26th of March. Does that mean I won’t live until the day of my wedding?”

“I’m afraid so,” An Xiaoning answered. She did not bother telling Bai Ranran the other aspects of her life, for they had all paled in comparison to the life-and-death matter at hand. After all, there was no point in knowing the details of those aspects since she was going to lose her life soon.

“Heaven is so unfair to me. I’m still so young, why must this happen to me? It’s so unfair!” Bai Ranran wailed in despair with tears flowing from her eyes continuously like a tap. The news had come across as a heavy blow to her. What she had dreaded most was still going to happen in the end.

Unsure of how she should comfort her, An Xiaoning said, “Do you know of karmic retribution in past and present lives?”

“I know of that, but I’ve never believed it in the past. I used to think it was just illogical nonsense.”

“It’s not. Fate and destiny are endless cycles. You will be punished in your present life for the sins you’ve committed in your previous one. This is also known as karmic retribution. Some may not receive the punishment they deserve for committing numerous acts of evil in this life, simply because they’ve accumulated a great ton of good karma from the many kind deeds they’ve done in their previous life, which offset the sin accumulated. Yours is a case of severe karmic hindrance. Life is short and death is inevitable to all. It’s only a matter of time. You still have some time left to do the things you’ve always wanted to do and accomplish the goals you’ve always had. Ms. Bai, the greatest thing in life is to die without regrets, isn’t it?”

Bai Ranran began to feel a little more optimistic after hearing her words.

Covering her face with her hands as tears streamed down uncontrollably, she said incoherently, “Now that I think of it, here’s what happened. Ever since I was diagnosed with a rare spontaneous disorder whereby my body is not capable of producing blood on its own, lots of people have been forced to donate their blood to me. I’ve once kicked a pregnant woman’s belly and caused her to have a miscarriage. She was carrying Xiaotian’s child at the time. While I was still in school, I used to detest a fellow female schoolmate, whom I then hired people to… to strip naked. I also instructed for photos of her naked body to be taken and circulated around everyone in school. She ended up taking her own life…”
