Being sharp and vigilant, Tuoba Gucheng had already woken up the moment he heard her open the door.

He was startled to see her and instantly understood that it was his sister who had sent An Xiaoning.

Strangely, he just watched as she climbed toward his bed and exchanged glances with her.

If she had been another woman, he would have given her a tight slap right from the start. Yet, he did not feel the urge to hit this damned woman at all, although he found her to be exceptionally ugly.

Could it be that I wanted to be more merciful towards her precisely because I pity her for being ugly?

Tuoba Gucheng felt that he was too kind-hearted at the thought of that possibility.

What a silly woman. She didn’t even try to keep her volume down when entering. Heaven made the right decision to give her low IQ to match her hideous looks , he thought to himself.

An Xiaoning ran back to Tuoba Danxue’s room to see that Zhi Yin was waiting for her by the door. “Have you settled everything?”

An Xiaoning nodded and answered, “I handed it to him personally.”

“That’s good, you may go back to bed.”

“Alright.”

She could finally get some rest on her bed. Dog-tired, An Xiaoning fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The next morning, Fan Shixin came forth to report to Jin Qingyan, who had yet to get out of bed, “Young Sir, Ye Xiaotian has finally fallen into the trap you laid for him. Looks like the Ye Corporation is going to be in chaos this time.”

Jin Qingyan immediately woke up and was no longer sleepy.

The absence of his beloved wife made it much easier for him to get out of bed.

“That’s great. I’m going to let Ye Xiaotian know what it means to be taken advantage of when you’re stuck in a disastrous situation,” said Jin Qingyan, who entered the bathroom to freshen up before leaving the bedroom.

Fan Shixin followed behind and chuckled. “It’s all thanks to your brilliant idea, Young Sir.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures. Let’s wait and watch him be driven to desperate action,” said Jin Qingyan, sitting on the couch to wait patiently for breakfast to be ready.

“Young Sir, I feel like there are lesser things for me to worry about with you around. I’m not getting any younger. It’s time for me to look for a prospective marriage partner.”

“Are you yearning to fall in love?”

“I’m just envious of you and Young Madam. I’d also like to find a woman whom I love and loves me too,” Fan Shixin answered, blushing slightly.

“I’ve really gotten in the way of your personal life by making you follow me around for so many years. It’s time you look for a suitable partner.”

“Young Sir, where am I supposed to find one? I don’t even have the time nor opportunity to get to know any women.”

“Create your own opportunity then.” After some thought, Jin Qingyan said, “You may try going on online chatting platforms and dating sites to get to know some women, but watch out for con artists though. There are some men who are out to cheat other men for their money by pretending to be female online.”

“Those are non-issues to me. Do you really think I’d fall for those scams?”

“In any case, just be careful. Has there been any new updates from the Autumn Palace lately?” Jin Qingyan asked.
