“After much pondering, I still think I ought to give you a call to express my sincerity. Xiaoning, you’re our family’s lucky star. Thank you so much.”
An Xiaoning guffawed and said, “You called just to tell me this? There’s no need to thank me. Like I said before, we’ll forever be family. And since we’re family, why is there a need to thank each other?”
Gu Beicheng decided to speak his mind, “Xiaoning, could I ask you to read Father, Mother, and Mingxi’s fortunes regularly from now on? I know it’s detrimental to your health so I found it a little hard to break it to you, but I…”
He did not know how to put it across to her appropriately.
“Sure, I’ll include yours too. It was negligence on my part. I’ll bear this in mind.”
Gu Beicheng was relieved to hear her words.
After ending the call, An Xiaoning chucked her mobile phone into her pocket, after which Tuoba Danxue, who was beside her, asked, “Who called you?”
“My brother.”
“Your brother must still be a bachelor, isn’t he?” Zhi Yin asked.
“He’s married,” An Xiaoning answered, knowing clearly what she was implying.
“Does your brother look like you?” Zhi Yin asked.
An Xiaoning smiled sarcastically and hissed, “It’s none of your business.”
Zhi Yin stuck her tongue out with a grimace and said, “I was just asking.”
“Forget it, you think I don’t know what you’re thinking of saying? If I were to have told you that he wasn’t married yet, you were going to say that my brother must still be a bachelor because he’s as ugly as I am. You asked me if I resemble my brother, but it seems you’ll get to insult me no matter what my answer is.”
Tuoba Danxue chuckled and remarked, “Mu Ning has really gotten smarter.”
“I had no choice but to do so.”
“Is he your biological brother?” Tuoba Shuo asked.
An Xiaoning shook her head and answered, “We’re not related by blood, but he’s even closer to me than my biological kin.”
Tuoba Shuo gazed at her with a look of gentleness and a warm smile on his face. “I could tell from the way you spoke to him over the phone that you two get along very well with each other.”
“That’s right. Which beach are we going to?” An Xiaoning asked.
“The Southern Beach,” Tuoba Danxue answered.
An Xiaoning raised her brows upon hearing her answer. The Southern Beach was near Nanshan Mountain and was the closest to B City.
She accompanied them to the beach resort near the Southern ocean, remaining quiet throughout the entire journey.
It was a secret outing. Initially, they wanted to request the authorities of the beach to close it from the public, so as to prevent their identities from being recognized. However, they decided not to in the end after realizing that doing so might just garner unnecessary attention instead.
It was already four o’clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the hotel.
Their rooms were adjacent to each other.
Zhi Yin and Mu Ning shared a room.
The bodyguards, too, shared rooms in pairs while the remaining people had a room to themselves each.
