However, he could not do that.

He looked away reluctantly.

He prayed fervently in his heart that she would turn her head around.

Perhaps he had been wishing for it so hard that An Xiaoning really stopped in her tracks.

She turned around for a split second and continued walking forward.

The leader heaved a long sigh. Just as he raised his head, Jin Qingyan said, “I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Walker.”

An Xiaoning again stopped walking abruptly and turned to stare at Jin Qingyan in shock. Although he looked like a complete stranger, she felt that his voice was all too familiar!

Tears welled up in An Xiaoning’s eyes the moment she saw his figure. She then stared at him longingly before continuing in her path.

Jin Qingyan purposefully lowered his voice when he spoke, so as to make it sound much deeper.

Having gotten used to hearing his voice long ago, An Xiaoning could recognize his voice right away, regardless of how much he tried to keep it low.

However, it was different for Pei Yi, who had only spoken to Jin Qingyan once over the phone. Although he found it a little familiar, he did not dwell much on it. He thought to himself that Jin Qingyan must be thinking that An Xiaoning was dead and wouldn’t have the audacity to risk his life by sneaking in here.

After they left, the petrified leader yelled, “Who told you to report your name earlier? You dimwit. Can’t you wait for Ancestor to leave before you speak!?! You idiot!”

Jin Qingyan did not respond and hung his head low, as if he were a humble greenhorn getting reprimanded silently.

The leader did not stop and instead took a deep breath before warning him again, “You must be cautious and watch every move of yours here. Otherwise, you’ll die really soon. You must learn to act appropriately and think twice before you speak. Fortunately, Ancestor did not get riled up just now. Otherwise, you’ll have a hard time, lad.”

Jin Qingyan expressed assent.

“Okay, follow me to your dormitory now.”

Jin Qingyan looked behind him again to see that they had already left.

Is she going to the hot spring with Pei Yi? he wondered to himself.

Would that man touch her?

What was he trying to do by falsifying the video of her staged execution? Did he fall for her?

At this point, Jin Qingyan truly realized that nothing else mattered more than her being alive.

There were two tubs in the hot spring, which were separated by a pearl partition blind. While getting inside the water, An Xiaoning constantly recalled the event that just took place earlier.

It felt just like a dream.

She had heard his voice and seen his figure.

He’s here.

He must have come here for me.

How did he know that my death was staged and falsified?

An Xiaoning could not help but feel overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.

God knows how elated she was the moment she heard his voice.

For the first time after their divorce, An Xiaoning wanted to hug him and thank him for taking the risk to enter and rescue her.

They were so close, yet so far.

However, would he get upset and leave after seeing me walk with Pei Yi? Well, he’s so petty and jealous all the time.

An Xiaoning thought that it was entirely possible for him to do so. However, another voice within her assured her that Jin Qingyan was not that foolish and would still save her on account of her being the mother of his child.

An Xiaoning felt much more relieved at the thought of it.

Once the lights were switched off after they returned from the hot spring, An Xiaoning stayed awake with her eyes wide open. She thought that it was mandatory for her to try and relay a message to Jin Qingyan. However, the problem was how?

After racking her brains, she decided that the only way was to pass him a written note, although it was not guaranteed that she could hand it to him.

However, there would be no other way to contact him apart from writing him notes.

Since he’s already come all the way here to save me, he’ll definitely think of a way to get near me.

After much thought, she decided to write him a message on a piece of paper and find an opportunity to hand it to him.

An Xiaoning sprawled herself across the couch and looked out of the window to see that the moon was absent tonight and it was pitch dark outside.

She closed her eyes. Although she was still stuck in the same circumstances and predicament, she felt... much more relieved.

She quietly slipped into a deep slumber.

She enjoyed a good night’s sleep with no dreams.

In fact, she even woke up later the next morning, which was rather rare of her.

The sky had already turned bright, and Pei Yi was sitting quietly by the study desk, staring at his computer.

Noticing that she was supporting herself up, he said, “Seems like you had a great sleep last night.”

“Thank you for bringing me with you to the hot spring. That was what allowed me to sleep so soundly. What time is it now?” An Xiaoning asked with a smile.

“Eight something.” He then pressed the assistance bell and instructed, “Serve us breakfast now.”

“Actually... you could’ve eaten first. You didn’t have to wait for me.”

“I was just too busy with work. Do you really think I was waiting for you?”

Thinking to herself that he couldn’t have been waiting for her, An Xiaoning chuckled and said, “I’ll go freshen up now. Please help me unlock my handcuffs.”

“You seem really happy today, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I strangely feel really happy.”

Pei Yi picked up the key and stood behind An Xiaoning to unlock her handcuffs. An Xiaoning stretched and shook her sore arms to ease the soreness. She then turned around and said coquettishly, “My arms are going to become crippled soon. When can I stop wearing handcuffs to sleep? I can only sleep on my stomach nowadays. My breasts are going to become so flat.”

Pei Yi shifted his gaze to her chest immediately and said, “No, they still seem pretty big.”

In fact, An Xiaoning’s last sentence had rolled off her tongue mindlessly. As soon as she heard herself, she immediately felt an urge to bite her tongue off.

His answer made her feel embarrassed; she chuckled awkwardly and proceeded to wash up.

Pei Yi could not help but feel amused upon recalling her words.

During breakfast, he gave her a well-thought-out answer to her question. “I can unlock your handcuffs, but...”

“But what?”

“But on one condition. From now onward, you... must pretend to be my girlfriend every day.”

An Xiaoning was surprised to hear his unexpected request. Did he forget that I would do as he instructed, even without this request to have my handcuffs unlocked? How would I dare to disobey him?

“Since you’ve said that, I won’t hold back anymore, Master Pei. Please don’t hold it against me if I do something to offend you. Do you know what kind of a person I am?”

“What?”

“I’m one who’s easily satisfied and cherish everything I have. From now onward, I’ll treat each day I spend with you like it’s the last day of my life. I’ll treasure it and treat you well,” An Xiaoning said gently.

Feeling a little thirsty, she took a sip of milk, in a bid to cover up her lie at the same time.

She had become increasingly better at lying through her teeth to Pei Yi. Sweet nothings would roll out of her glib tongue without any premeditation at all!

However, they both knew what each other were thinking, especially Pei Yi, who had once survived a massacre. Needless to say, he could read people easily and knew exactly what she was thinking.

Yet, he did not expose her lies and pretended as if he thought that she had meant everything she said.
