The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

94: You Ought to Be Rewarded

After a long night, An Xiaoning almost overslept in the morning. Yet, Jin Qingyan had already left home early, leaving his spot on the bed cold and chilly.

It was already past 8 o’clock in the morning by the time she woke up.

Fan Shixin informed her that there was, again, a larger bunch of dead rats mailed to her, but this time, it was from a sender from overseas.

An Xiaoning was enraged by the atrocity of the culprit.

He or she was getting way out of hand.

Clad in a light gray turtleneck sweater beneath an all-black feathered coat, Jin Qingyan entered through the door with a bag in his hand. His nose had turned red as a Rudolph from the cold.

“We’ll know everything once we find this person,” said Jin Qingyan.

“Did you head out early in the morning just to find me this?” An Xiaoning asked softly in surprise.

“Mhmm, though you keep insisting on handling everything by yourself, as your lawful husband, I can’t just sit back and do nothing,” he said as he handed her the bag.

“Was this obtained from the footage of the surveillance cameras from the roads outside all the way to our doorstep?” asked An Xiaoning as she took a look at the document.

“Yes. We only managed to get the footage from that day, after much painstaking effort. We’ve covered the entire neighborhood based on the location of the last stop made by the sender. Shixin hasn’t been getting much rest due to the arduous investigation he had been carrying out. He told me that he had found the two prime suspects behind this matter, and I’ve deduced that he is the one, based on his posture and stance from the footage.” Jin Qingyan went forward and grabbed her hand. “I’ve already ordered for the culprit to be arrested. They’re acting on it way faster than you’d expected.”

An Xiaoning was taken aback, and she began to wonder if this was the advantage of having a husband like him.

“I told you to stay out of this matter, yet you still poked your nose in. Hmm… you ought to be rewarded,” said An Xiaoning as she inched forward on tiptoes to give him a kiss on the cheek. She then turned around proudly and walked towards the kitchen, saying, “I’m hungry.”

“Do you still want to meet the courier?” he exclaimed loudly.

“Didn’t you forbid me from doing so? I don’t plan on meeting him anymore.”

“By the way, I’ve also verified that the courier is indeed left-handed.”

“Did you go meet the courier yourself because you were afraid that I would fall for him as soon as I meet him?” asked An Xiaoning, stopping in her tracks and turning around.

“Of course not, I’m not that petty.”

“I think it’d be great if we could keep our relationship this way,” An Xiaoning said with a smile, seemingly hinting at something.

She was indeed a little disappointed to find out after marrying him that he had someone else in his heart. Fortunately, she did not love him either, and thus, it did not matter to her how much he loved Chi Rui’er.

The key to a successful marriage is quality time and effort. Perhaps if she could make him treasure and care about her more and more, she might be able to conquer his heart one day.

She was willing to put in the effort, except, her only fear was that her efforts would not be reciprocated. It would be devastating should the marriage still fail despite everything that she had done.
