Chapter 790: A Million Times for You (152)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I think I have no talent in cooking at all.”

s.h.i.+ Qingzhou replied gently, “Who can possibly be good in every area? Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It isn’t that much of a big deal anyway. You’re doing great in other areas already.”

It was obviously just a simple meal, but An Xiaoning had a great time relis.h.i.+ng the food. It was her first time eating a home-cooked meal made by her biological mother.

Every bite was full of the flavor of happiness.

“When is our son going to the training camp?” An Xiaoning asked.

“Tomorrow.” Speaking of this, Jin Qingyan added, “The coach and culture lesson teacher have both called me for a discussion. So as to allow him to concentrate on his practice, with the exception of special matters, he’s not allowed to leave.”

That is to say, without Jin Yiheng as his cover, meeting her openly and aboveboard would become a luxury he could only dream of.

An Xiaoning was exceptionally clear about this as well.

After eating, s.h.i.+ Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo brought Jin Yiheng to shop at the district supermarket, giving them some time alone by themselves.

“Mother didn’t explain it very clearly to me, so tell me, what is it that you’ve been practicing these few days without eating or drinking?”

“Wow, you’re even calling her Mother already?” An Xiaoning entered the room.

Jin Qingyan followed behind closely and locked the door in a fast and clean manner.

He paced forward and hugged her from behind. Resting his chin on her neck, he locked both his arms tightly around her abdomen and swayed her body. “For things that should be said, I won’t miss out a single word. As for what shouldn’t be said, I won’t say a single word more either. Quick, answer my question.”

“There’s no name for it, I don’t know what it’s called. But it’s not witchcraft. It’s a secret manual about psychological mantra techniques. It’s an ancient thing. The paper used to record it isn’t ordinary paper either. It says that a few hundred women who once attempted to master it just dropped dead suddenly. Only women with special physical const.i.tutions can practice it. If my grandmother didn’t try it, I wouldn’t dare do so either. Even men can’t practice it.”

“So what happens when you master it? What powers will you gain?”

“I don’t know, you need to master it before you find out. The manual didn’t mention anything.”

“It didn’t mention anything and you still dare to practice it?” Jin Qingyan muttered, “You’re really daring.”

“Even my grandmother dared to practice it, why would I not dare to?” She turned to the side and remarked, “I almost forgot to return Beicheng’s call. Maybe the matter I told him to check for me has some progress.”

“What matter?”

She turned around and showed him the bangle on her hand. “Do you still remember? The first time we got married, this is the wedding gift Beicheng got for me.”

He watched her and allowed her to continue speaking.

“I dreamed that I wore it in my previous life. So, I made a bold presumption that this bangle was mine in my previous life. This bangle was collected by Beicheng, he said that it was found in a grave a few thousand years ago. I wanted him to help find the original owner of the bangle, just out of sheer curiosity.”

“Call him later…” He lowered his head and pressed his lips on hers, whispering in between his lips, “Let’s get this serious matter done first…”

His tongue, which was boiling with a fiery pa.s.sion, stuck out and, seeing that he was so eager, An Xiaoning could not bear to reject him.

She merely remarked, “Then, hurry up.”

Once her words landed, her body was pushed back by him and forcefully bent down to rest against the bed.

Her fur coat was rolled up by him, and her undergarment was pulled down to her knees in one swift hand movement.

An Xiaoning coordinated with him and removed a single leg of her pants. But before she could straighten her body, he was already eagerly entering her body.

With regard to such things, Jin Qingyan seemed to always act like a cheeky young lad in his twenties.

“Slow down…” An Xiaoning bit onto her lip tightly. The sound insulation in her room could not be compared to that of her master’s bedroom in the house in Wei Ni Estate. As such, she was afraid of being heard by others.

“So do you want me to hurry or slow down…?” He bent forward and simply pressed her down onto the bed. With one leg half-kneeling on the bed, he hurled her leg and placed it over his own shoulder.

“Yiheng will be coming back soon, quickly end it.”

He completely did not take in her words.

At this stage, An Xiaoning was in no position to take control anymore.

While she had suppressed the urge to make any sound, toward the end, she could not bear it in anymore.

He seemed to be enjoying it and let out sounds of enjoyment along with her, the two of them creating a melody of love.

Maybe it was because her mother had intentionally given them more personal time to spend together, even after half an hour had pa.s.sed after they were done, they did not return yet.

He personally cleaned the scene himself, throwing all the evidence of them making love into the rubbish bin in the bathroom.

“Did you know? To maintain a healthy relations.h.i.+p between a man and a woman, it’s best to do it twice a week.”

An Xiaoning did not hesitate to throw cold water on his ideas. “You didn’t carry this regime out in the past, so in the future, you need to suppress your desires as well.”

“Do you still remember when you were kidnapped in R Nation? Where I dreamed of you, which had led me to find you?”

“Of course I remember.”

“Don’t you think that incident was really strange?”

An Xiaoning was unbothered by it. “What’s so strange about it? Your ancestor was in love with the Dragon Maiden and you’re a descendant of the Dragon. That’s the main crux of it, right? Also, you have that family heirloom on your hand, the jade ring. For it to be pa.s.sed down in your family, it surely isn’t some ordinary item. Moreover, what happened to you was an out-of-body experience. I think it’s definitely related to both of the reasons I mentioned. Do you still dream of such things lately?”

“Not anymore.”

“This incident is like what s.h.i.+xin and I witnessed of the elder deep in the mountains. It’s simply perplexing. When I think about it, it was just like a dream, but it’s actually something that happened in reality.”

Jin Qingyan seemed to be deep in thought. “That’s true indeed.”

—

When both father and son had left, An Xiaoning finally returned Gu Beicheng’s call. When asked why she had not picked up her phone, she casually found an excuse to dodge his question. She naturally would not have mentioned anything about the manual.

The fewer people knew about it, the less danger she would put herself and her family in.

As for the matter she had entrusted him, there had been progress a few days ago. She could go and check anytime.

At the thought that she had to retreat into practice tomorrow, An Xiaoning suggested checking it right now.

Gu Beicheng readily agreed.

She drove to meet Gu Beicheng, bringing along No. 5 and No. 8 with her.

When pa.s.sing a traffic light, the red light meant that all cars had to stop. It was a basic rule that all drivers knew. Driving through a red light would entail a deduction of points and a fine.

Regardless of whether the car was at the front or back of the traffic light, it had to stop. However, a black car ahead of An Xiaoning’s car had stopped for a moment before the red light, then suddenly accelerated and drove through the red light like a flash of lightning. Moreover, it did not drive through in a straight line but cut through a pedestrian crossing that was on the green light and turned away.

“This driver will have his points deducted,” No. 5, who was sitting beside An Xiaoning’s driver seat, complained. “Couldn’t even wait a few seconds.”

“Maybe there was something critically urgent he had to attend to.” An Xiaoning had her eyes fixed ahead and her hands on the steering wheel as she guessed, “Or maybe someone in the car needed to be sent to the hospital…”
