The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

After more than a week of getting accustomed to it, Tuoba Gucheng was no longer affected by the fact that he slept beside a woman every day.

This was because she only made barking noises to him every day and evidently possessed no human consciousness at all, nor did she know how to speak.

All her actions were exactly the same as Da Huang’s when it was still alive.

This was why he completely treated her as Da Huang in a human form.

There was an indescribable scent on her. When he went near her, he could always smell it. It was a faint floral scent, but as to what kind of flower it was, he simply could not tell.

That night, seeing that she had gone to sleep early again, he locked the door from the inside.

He went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Putting on his bathrobe, he lay down on the bed as usual.

Looking at the way she slept, he casually took out his camera from the drawer and took a few pictures of her.

He felt that the pictures came out pretty decent as well.

When he placed the camera aside, Tuoba Gucheng’s gaze landed on her face. Never would he have imagined that she would be possessed by Da Huang’s spirit and end up sleeping on his bed.

This was something he would never have imagined in the past.

At the thought of his own wedding next month, Tuoba Gucheng turned rather gloomy.

He lay down and turned to his side to sleep. However, he just lay still like that, without feeling sleepy at all.

After lying there for two whole hours, he was still unable to fall asleep.

At the thought that he still had important things to handle tomorrow, he had no choice but to force himself to sleep. He reached out to switch the lights off.

When he slept, he unconsciously wrapped her arms around her while she just lay still.

Despite having insomnia, he was always the first to wake up.

But today, things were different.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, An Xiaoning was already awake.

She was staring blankly right at him.

He grinned and reached out to caress her hair. “Da Huang, how are you so obedient today after you’ve woken up?”

An Xiaoning slowly sat upright, her heart rate accelerating.

Tuoba Gucheng realized something unusual about her and called out, “Da Huang?”

When he watched her get down from the bed and stand upright, Tuoba Gucheng instantly realized that she was no longer his beloved dog Da Huang but Mu Ning.

“Your Highness…”

“Oh, it’s you, Mu Ning. I thought you were still Da Huang. You were possessed by the favorite dog I once owned. It was a Labrador…”

“I know.”

Of course she knew. From the moment her weak body was possessed by that Labrador, she existed like a shadow as she watched her own body being controlled by that dog. She even watched as the dog licked his face using her body and barked all day. She was extremely depressed in that state.

“You really knew?”

“Of course. My soul has been watching how your beloved dog treated my body. If it were a real dog in its physical state, I would have broken its legs.” She then requested, “Can I get a day off today? I want to go home to take a look at something.”

“Okay, but you have to return tomorrow morning. I’ll call the people at the entrance to inform them.”

“Alright, thank you, Your Highness.”

When she returned to her room, An Xiaoning locked the door from the inside and immediately went into the bathroom. She removed her face mask and placed it on the wash basin.

She then took a hot bath.

As she bathed, she had still not gotten used to being back in her own body.

Putting on a pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt, she slipped into a pair of white cloth shoes and looked at her real self in the mirror. An Xiaoning’s eyes reddened slightly.

She put on her face mask as she had always done.

When she went downstairs, she did not even take a glance at Tuoba Gucheng, who was eating, and just left.

Xiao Chi came in just then and saw her. He nodded at her slightly and did not intend to say anything but was stopped by An Xiaoning.

“Did he call you?”

“No, but the Chief called me.”

“What did you say?” An Xiaoning questioned him.

“I… I just spoke the truth.”

“What truth are you referring to…?”

“I said that Young Madam, you, and His Highness were sleeping together.” After answering, Xiao Chi did not dare to make eye contact with An Xiaoning.

Hearing this, An Xiaoning simply gave him a kick. Xiao Chi was caught off guard and fell on the floor.

Without making a single grumble, he immediately got up.

Fortunately, no one had passed by to witness it either.

“Young Madam,” Xiao Chi said in a low voice. “This is a fact that everyone in this house is already aware of. I’ve been to your room to see it with my own eyes as well. You’ve stayed in the Prince’s room for more than one week without coming out. You’re telling me the two of you aren’t living together? Do you think Young Sir is an idiot?”

“You shut up!” An Xiaoning was so furious that her expression turned cold.

But she could not deny that what Xiao Chi said seemed true on the surface. For the past one week, she was indeed living with Tuoba Gucheng.

But he only knew part of the truth and not the whole.

Seeing that he had conveyed what he saw here, it would, beyond doubt, worsen her relationship with Jin Qingyan.

She could imagine the state Jin Qingyan was in right now.

Hence, she wasted no time in heading out of the Autumn Palace.

She figured that Tuoba Shuo might have already gotten the structural map of Tuoba Rui and Shi Xiaoyu’s house drawn, so she took a longer detour to his place.

She collected the map as expected.

Then, she hurriedly left the Autumn Palace.

After she left the front gate, An Xiaoning stood there and heaved a long sigh of relief.

She immediately got on a taxi and headed toward the airport.

The flight from B to A City merely took a little more than half an hour.

Before she boarded the plane, she went to the airport toilet to remove her face mask.

So when she arrived at the airport of A City, she had a pair of sunglasses and a disposable mask on her face.

Her footsteps quickened as she arrived on land.

There was no other reason for that than wanting to see him as soon as possible.

She only wanted to tell him the whole truth clearly.

She thought that as long as she explained everything to him clearly and honestly, this incident would conclude just like that.

It was what she really believed.

In reality, things were more serious than she had thought.

This incident was also not to be as easily resolved as she thought.

It was the signal of a red light in their marriage.

When the taxi she took reached the house at Wei Ni Estate, Fan Shixin personally came to open the door for her.

Having not seen him for days, she could predict the look on Jin Qingyan’s face just from seeing how bleak Fan Shixin’s face looked.

An Xiaoning did not say a word and entered with her chest upright and head held high.

She did not do anything wrong so she was not afraid at all!

When she entered the living room, a familiar figure was sitting in there. She was about to change her shoes when she realized that the shoe rack no longer had any of her shoes. It was not just her slippers that were gone, but all of her shoes.

An Xiaoning stood there watching his back view, her gaze turning dull and gloomy.

She finally went to the sofa and sat opposite him.

She had thought of the scene of her meeting him and the expression that would be on his face. But she was thoroughly disappointed by what she saw.

From his face, there was no hint of anger or disappointment, only a look of coldness and indifference.

Was it because he had already thoroughly believed what appeared to be the truth?

So he was already determined to put an end to their relationship?

If the truth was really what he saw or heard, she had nothing to say.

But in reality, everything on the surface was not true.

She refused to take the blame for it.

Nor was she capable of doing so either.
