The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

Perplexed and Smitten (2)

“It’s a dream but it’s also reality.” Smiling, she gazed at him and continued, “We didn’t end up together in this lifetime, but that doesn’t affect my determination to stay together with you. Whatever I say now is not going to affect the outcome or trajectory of events in this lifetime. When I discovered your corpse in Mount Yihua, the spirits of your bodyguards and servants were all guarding your coffin. They told me that you were waiting for me to visit you but I never did in this lifetime. However, I did in our next. I’m really glad that I can now communicate with you through means such as this.”

He then said, “I believe everything that you said. Everyone thinks I’m blessed to be able to be born into the royal family. However, I’ve always felt like I was born at the wrong time. Besides, I’m not on good terms with my brother and he’s attracted to you. He’s bent on making you his. I’ve already expected that things would turn out the way you mentioned. However, I’m not willing to resign to fate. I want to protect you, my mother, and all of my servants.”

“Will you feel better if I told you that we ended up together in our next lifetime? We have a son too.”

He pulled her toward him and kissed her deeply before saying, “You should keep all of this to yourself. It doesn’t matter which realm we’re in now, because you’re the very person standing before me now.”

“When I first woke up in this dream, I wanted to try and fall asleep again, to no avail. However, I’m starting to get a little sleepy now and I want to sleep. I also have another question for you.”

“Go ahead and ask.”

“Amongst all the people we know, which ones have the surname ‘Xiao’?”

Her vision soon began to turn blurry and she fell straight into his embrace. Although she could see that his lips were moving, she could no longer hear his answer.

An Xiaoning was beyond frustrated at the brief moment before she lost her consciousness. I was so close to finding out!

When she woke up again, what greeted her was the glaring rays of the sun, which made it hard for her to open her eyes.

She scanned her surroundings to find that they were still on the ship. Noticing that she was awake, Fan Shixin said, “Young Madam, you were so deep in slumber. I couldn’t wake you up even though I tried calling your name a few times.”

She sat up straight and removed the lid from a bottle of mineral water before chugging most of the water in one shot.

“Have you eaten anything?”

“Not yet.”

She immediately grabbed the food, after which they started eating while the yacht sailed slowly.

“Shixin, can you tell where we are now?”

“I can’t, but according to the route, we should be able to arrive in S Nation by evening.”

She nodded. After having her fill, she plaited her hair into a single braid that made it easier for her to move about.

Although the final verdict from the gynecologist was that Mo Li could no longer conceive, Mrs. Mo nonetheless refused to give up. After all, Mo Li was her daughter. Despite being extremely busy with handling the breakfast bistro and taking care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mo still made the effort to ask around for traditional recipes that would aid Mo Li in nursing her body back to health.

Mo Li did not believe in the potency of those recipes and advised her mother to stop worrying about her.

Mrs. Mo could not help but say, “Lili, once you and Yun Chen are married, why don’t you go to the orphanage and adopt an orphan?”
