Lin Shishi was filled with disappointment, for that was not the answer she wanted to hear.

"My mother often used to tell me that lots of men are attracted to chaste women who save their virginities for their husbands, but my mother has never told me that there'll also be men who love unchaste women. Hubby, why do you think some men enjoy dating filthy women?"

"By filthy, do you mean women who have a prim-and-proper private life despite having lost their virginities or those who are promiscuous?"

"The former. Why do some men fall head-over-heels in love with such unclean women?"

"Men ought to reflect on themselves before despising others. If they're no longer virgins themselves, what right have they got to demand that the woman they're dating be a virgin? If a man is still a virgin and he falls in love with a non-virgin, I guess he must be attracted to her soul," Tuoba Gucheng answered.

"Hubby, will you ever love a woman like that?"

Tuoba Gucheng retorted, "You're beating around the bush just to find out if I would fall in love with An Xiaoning, aren't you? I didn't answer you directly just now so you decided to ask me in a different way."

Lin Shishi pouted her lips, feeling a little ashamed and guilty for being exposed. "I just wanted to know," she said softly.

"What are you going to do after you find out?"

"Huh? What..." she stammered.

"Didn't you want to know the answer? I'm asking you, what happens after you find out the answer? Don't you find your question really pointless? My preference in women doesn't set the standards for everyone. Perhaps I might fall in love with a woman who doesn't fit the societal norms of a good woman. Maybe there's more to a woman who's deemed to be an ordinary plain jane by everyone else. There's never a clear line, it's all subjective," Tuoba Gucheng said with a smile.

I'm the woman who married him first, which puts me in a favorable position as his lawful wife and the mother of his children. It's unlikely that he'll fall in love with another woman instead of me, since I face him almost every day. He definitely fancies me too. Otherwise, how could I have managed to marry him so smoothly? I'm sure he'll genuinely fall in love with me one day , Lin Shishi thought to herself.

Lin Shishi felt much more at ease after some self-reassurance.

Tuoba Gucheng put his hand down as an icy cold stare formed in his eyes.

He had begun to find it harder to understand Lin Shishi. Although his feelings and opinions toward her were neutral at the start, he could not help but feel a little repulsed and annoyed by her.

He was especially disgusted by the sarcastic comments she had just made.

Unfortunately, she had no idea how he felt about her.

The sky was pouring heavily in the morning.

An Xiaoning did not catch any shuteye and instead spent the entire night memorizing the content of the book thoroughly before setting it on fire and watching it burn to ashes.

She did not bring a single bodyguard with her and boarded a plane to B City together with Shi Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo.

They arrived at the entrance of the Autumn Palace at nine o'clock sharp.

Shi Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo were both wearing a GPS tracking device on their wrists, which Jin Qingyan's bodyguards had delivered to them the night before.

An Xiaoning was filled with panic and anxiety the moment she stepped foot inside the Autumn Palace.

She was rather concerned and worried about the fact that Shi Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo's wounds were yet to heal.
