The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

63: Don't Push Your Luck

“I forgot to bring some clothes over to this house. Next time, I’ll prepare clothes for all seasons here. Yangyang, quick, come and lie down. Let’s have a good sleep, we can talk about anything tomorrow morning.”

“But, Sis — aren’t you going to call them to let them know you’re safe?”

“No need, we’ll just go over at daybreak.”

“Sure.” It was the first time Mei Yangyang slept beside her. Her whole body was restrained, but An Xiaoning hugged her and said, “Yangyang, Sis can tell what kind of person you are. Although we haven’t known each other for a long time, I treat you like my family. Don’t hold back here, make yourself at home. Come, let’s sleep.”

“Okay. Sis, you sleep too.”

Though An Xiaoning acknowledged her with a reply, she could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. The frightening experience she’d had tonight was still making her shudder at the recollection.

It was a terrifying thought to her. If she’d still been unable to swim, she would definitely have drowned in that river tonight.

There was a saying which she felt was applicable to this: every new skill learned reduces the chances of one being killed by others.

Some people would be feeling disappointed because she was still alive.

What a great feeling.

At past seven o’clock in the morning, the skies were clear and the sun was up.

When An Xiaoning woke up, she used Mei Yangyang’s phone to call Gu Beicheng.

“It’s me.”

“Xiaoning?” Gu Beicheng rose up immediately. “Where are you?”

“Come and pick me up at Dongpo Road, we can speak when we meet.” She ended the line, changed into her clothes and slippers, and went out with Mei Yangyang.

The world after it had rained looked like a brand new one. The air was pure and fresh. The two held on to each other and walked slowly on the streets. An Xiaoning’s face was pale, her lips remained bloodless, and she looked lifeless.

In a few minutes, a spectacular-looking Lamborghini appeared beside them. An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang got on together.

Gu Beicheng looked at her and did not say anything, he just continued to stare at her like that.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Drive.”

He started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal. The car turned around from a challenging position and drove off.

“What were you doing here?”

“The house I bought is here.”

“You knew how to go back to your house, why didn’t you know enough to make a call to inform us you’re safe? Did you know we didn’t sleep for the entire night worrying about you?”

An Xiaoning reached out and held his arm gently. “Sorry. I thought of it, but I wanted to rest peacefully for a few hours to regain my energy, then talk about it later. If your number weren’t easy to remember, I wouldn’t have been able to call you this morning too.”

“Anyway, what matters is that you’re back in one piece.” The huge load Gu Beicheng had inside was finally released. He glared at her furiously. “You brat, we were worried to death.”

She laughed. “Alright, to make it up to you, I’ll call you Brother, okay?”

“Quick, call me then, I’m waiting!”
