Chapter 1229: I Want to Make You Stay (107)
Despite the circumstances, she still could not neglect her skin. Masks were still necessary.
“Did you really give me that watch?”
“Does it really matter if I was the one who gave it to you?” she hissed.
“I was just asking a casual question. Why are you getting so riled up?”
An Xiaoning ignored him and leaned against the headboard while using her mobile phone.
However, the more she refused to communicate with him, the more he tried to talk to her.
“When did you give it to me?”
“Long, long time ago. It’s been eight or nine years since I gave it to you. I gave it to you during our first year of marriage,” she said calmly.
“I didn’t know that it was a gift from you, that’s why I… told you to throw it away.”
An Xiaoning was not a petty person, and she knew that he was Henry, not Jin Qingyan.
“Who gave you this new one?”
“Baozhen. She said that it’s a token of gratitude from her and that I must keep it properly. I thought that it was just a small item. I didn’t expect her to give me this.”
She turned to her side and said to him, “Return it to her tomorrow morning. I bought it at a really expensive price nine years ago. Although the value may have depreciated now, it still costs at least tens of thousands. Luxury watches don’t come at a cheap price, unless they’re counterfeits. It’s not a small sum for her. Get her to return the watch, or pay her back in full sum for it. It’s hard for a village girl like her to earn money. The cost of this watch may be peanuts to us but it’s exorbitant to her.”
Finding her words to have made sense, Henry agreed, “Okay, I’ll do as you say tomorrow morning.”
“If…” An Xiaoning glared at him and continued, “If this girl harbors any feelings for you, you are to stop her from getting any funny ideas. Got it?”
“…”
“Didn’t you hear what I said? You’re mine. I’ll break the neck of whoever tries to snatch my man away from me.”
“…”
“Why are you looking at me? Answer me.”
Henry answered in a sexy and husky voice, “You’ve got such a wild imagination. Who’s your man…?”
“If you’re not mine, why do you sleep with me every day? Yes, you may have been dead against sharing the same room as me in the past. Although you’re willing to lie next to me now, you’re still very haughty and arrogant, aren’t you? You keep putting on a front and pretending to be pure and chaste. You may not remember much but I remember everything. You’ve forgotten who you are but I haven’t. We’ve given our bodies to each other. You’re still you, regardless of which personality is in control. I can accept all your attributes and flaws because I love you deeply. I believe that one day, both sides of you will become one and love me wholeheartedly. So, I’ll be waiting for that day.”
“What if that day never comes?”
“That won’t happen. I believe it’ll definitely come someday in the near future. Henry, shall we talk about something?” she said confidently.
“What is it?”
“Let’s not get intimate, but shall we share a kiss?”
Henry was speechless.
“Stop pretending to be a pure and innocent youth. I still remember you getting all touchy-feely with those women in the nightclub in M Nation. If I hadn’t kicked you and knocked you unconscious, you would have gotten intimate with one of those women. If I wasn’t so strict with you, you would have slept around countless times before!”
“Why are you the only woman whom I’m so resistant toward?”
“Although it’s not exactly wonderful, at least it proves that I’m special to you, doesn’t it?” said An Xiaoning, who snuggled up beside him slowly. She subconsciously touched his hand and he hurriedly tried to move it away, only to have her grab it.
“You refuse to let me kiss you, and now you won’t let me touch your hand too?”
He retracted his hand and said, “I’m not letting you do so.”
She kissed him forcefully and said, “I shall kiss you, then.”
“An Xiaoning!”
“Yes?”
“Don’t go overboard.”
She sat up and said, “Shall we play a game of dice? If I win, you’ll have to grant my requests, and if you win, you may make a request of me too. However, you’re not allowed to cancel the pact that we had made earlier.”
Seemingly having guessed her intentions, he said, “Don’t tell me, you’re suggesting that we play this game just so you could touch me.”
An Xiaoning let out an evil chuckle and said, “And many more… Are you afraid?”
“No, I just don’t want to play such a low-class game with you…”
“Just admit it if you’re afraid. Why do you have to undermine my suggestion? Since you don’t want to play, let’s turn off the lights and go to bed,” said An Xiaoning.
“Are you going to agree to all my requests?”
“Yes, on the condition that you win the game. However, like I said, you’re not allowed to call off the pact we had made earlier.”
“Will you abide accordingly, even if I make you run naked on the streets, or make you drink urine, or force you to eat a toad?”
An Xiaoning pursed her lips and said, “Will you actually make such requests?”
“You never know. Didn’t you say that I’d be allowed to make any requests? What’s wrong? Are you afraid?” Henry asked with raised brows.
“What a joke. Why would I be afraid when I was the one who suggested it?” said An Xiaoning who was, however, feeling rather uncertain. What if he really makes me do those things? That’d be terrible.
Henry looked at her and wondered what she was pondering about silently.
After a minute of silence, he sat up and said, “Game on.”
“Are you sure?”
“The probability of me winning is half. Anyway, I shall make things clear beforehand. If you lose, I might really make you do those things that I mentioned just now.”
Despite feeling a little scared, An Xiaoning answered, “Alright, then, wait for Fan Shixin to bring the dice here.”
….
Five minutes later, they sat cross-legged facing each other, a square blanket in between them. An Xiaoning held the dices in her hand.
She quickly readjusted the mask on her face when it almost fell off.
They played with two dices.
“Do you want to go first?”
“I’ll go first.”
“We’ll decide who goes first after a round of rock, paper, scissors.”
“… Alright.”
Henry won and got to go first.
He grabbed the dices from her hand and threw them.
At this moment, An Xiaoning prayed in her head, Small, small, small, small, small, small!
However…
The two dices added up to eleven.
An Xiaoning could only win if both her dices added up to twelve.
All of a sudden, she felt like all hope was lost. She grabbed the dices and took a look again. She could not help but feel a little disgruntled upon the sight of Henry staring at her with a sinister smile. Despite knowing that her chances of winning were slim, she still carried some hope and prayed that she would get lucky. Thus, she grabbed the dices and threw them.
