The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses

79: No Rest for Me Tonight

“Just as I arrived home, I received a call from Chief Pan. He told me that Qingyue had turned herself in and admitted that she was the one who ran Wang Fangfang over. She claimed to have done it because she was infuriated at Wang Fangfang for refusing to abort Shi Shaochuan’s child… However, after speaking to her this morning, I’m rather certain that she hadn’t known about the pregnancy at all, prior to this. Why would she have run her over in this case? I reckon she must’ve done it to cover up and take the rap for Shi Shaochuan, thinking that she could escape scot-free because we definitely wouldn’t leave her in the lurch,” said Jin Qingyan.

Despite having noticed how furious he was, An Xiaoning still went ahead with what she wanted to say, “You’re all worked up and angry now, but you’re still going to help her in the end. You can’t possibly watch her get sent to prison for murder and not do anything about it, can you?”

His face turned stiff, a cold glare was in his eyes. Contrary to what An Xiaoning had expected, he replied, “Since she decided to be the scapegoat for Shi Shaochuan, then I’ll just sit back and wait until she finally caves in and reveals the truth herself.”

“Well, when the time comes, one of them will have to be imprisoned, and they’ll have no choice but to be separated then,” An Xiaoning added.

“What do you think of that?” he asked while running his fingers through her hair.

“It doesn’t matter what I think, what matters is what your parents think…”

“They’re fine with it.”

“Although I’m well aware that nothing is fair in this world, I’d still hope to see some justice in our society. What right does one have to take the life of another without having to pay the price simply because of connections? What right does one have to cause the death of two lives, without feeling a tinge of guilt or fear at all? This is not how the world should be,” said An Xiaoning, feeling the injustice.

Jin Qingyan felt a sudden urge to kiss her as he watched her voice her thoughts with such gusto.

In fact, he had gone ahead with his desires and planted kisses on her lips, one after another.

“If you ever decide to become a policewoman, you’d be an upright and strong-valued one who’s sure to serve the people well,” he complimented.

“Unfortunately, I did not graduate from police training school. Neither have I ever attended school or received any formal education, since I grew up in the mountains. I don’t think I would even qualify to be a doorman, let alone a policewoman.”

“I could give you a little push, if you’d like.”

“I won’t resort to any underhanded means.”

“Forget it then,” Jin Qingyan said nonchalantly.

“By the way, I heard your business is still in the process of getting registered at the Business Administration Bureau, although it has already been some time since the store opened. Why is it taking so long?” he continued.

“Yeah, what’s wrong?” An Xiaoning asked. She had gone down to the Bureau multiple times, in hopes of speeding up the registration process, but to no avail. She had always refrained from employing connections. However, this time, she realized that it was indeed rather difficult for a commoner to get errands done quickly.

“I could give you a hand, all it takes is just one call to get the matter done. So, have you decided if you’d like to have a helping hand from your husband? One word from you and I’ll get to it right away, my dear wife,” he said with a smirk.
