High Altitude Fall

"Hmm, after listening to what you've just said… I do recall that I didn't see much hostility in An Qi's eyes when I lavished my affections on Yu Hao in the office." Gu Xiaonan lost interest in her clothes and turned to look suspiciously at Zeng Xuerou.

Seeing that her daughter finally understood what she meant, she continued with her analysis.

"Yes, think about it… After all, it has been five years. She clearly has not stopped seeing men. So, it is likely that An Qi has already found a new love, but may be hiding it from everyone else." Zeng Xuerou's analysis was quite precise, but fortunately, she mistakenly saw An Qi as being a scheming person, the same as her.

If Zeng Xuerou knew that An Qi had attained Leng Yuchen's affections without having to resort to any despicable means at all, both her and her daughter would surely be angered to their cores!

"Mother, who do you think this mystery man behind An Qi would be?" Gu Xiaonan asked her mother.

Although Leng Jin's charm was indeed great, when compared to the idea of destroying An Qi's happiness, Gu Xiaonan would pay far more attention to the latter issue. After all, over the years, the only thing that had sustained her through her difficult circumstances was her hatred for An Qi.

"My intuition tells me that this mystery person is be a member of the Leng Group. Otherwise, An Qi would not be so brazen as to go and work for the Leng Group as an ordinary employee," Zeng Xuerou replied.

"That's true. After all, at the beginning, you yourself started to work at Hairui, enduring great humiliation, then gradually approached Daddy An's world, right?" Gu Xiaonan gave an example, while agreeing to Zeng Xuerou's previous words.

She was right. Zeng Xuerou, in order to get close to An Shijie, had indeed had to suffer through a lot of low and degrading work. But now, as Mrs. Ann, she was somewhat unwilling to mention the past, much less relive it.

So, she said, "Alright, let's not talk about me. You should think about who would An Qi would choose to be with. If the person is Vice President Leng, whom you have just spoken to, you'd better be careful, or you will not even have a place over your head to cry!"

"Okay, what do you think I should do?" After enduring Zeng Xuerou's brainwashing, Gu Xiaonan was at a loss for what to do next. Although she had not yet dedicated herself to Yu Hao, she did have some feelings for him. After all, they grew up together, and as such, she did not want to give him up so easily.

"Well… I don't know what to tell you to do now, but Xiaonan, you must remember to not be careless. An Qi's return this time must be a purposeful one. Although that person is tracking An Qi 24 hours a day, according to his report, An Qi is very cunning. She always sneaks away when he isn't paying attention. So… Maybe she already knows that we sent someone to follow her!" As Zeng Xuerou was talking, she looked to her left and right for fear of being heard by others.

Similarly, when she was referring to the person, Gu Xiaonan also got a sluggish look on her face. But, veiled beneath her nervousness, there seemed to lurk some indescribable disgust. Everything just seemed so complicated!

"As for whether Yu Hao is a painful thorn in An Qi's heart, that is still yet to be determined. We must watch her carefully. Now, your mother wishes to remind you that An Qi seemed very different after her return this time. So, you can't be too capricious and let Daddy An and Yu Hao feel disappointed or fearful. Do you understand?" Zeng Xuerou asked.

Gu Xiaonan nodded, then said, "Mother, you can rest assured that even An Qi's mother was not your match, let alone her spoiled idiot girl!"

"Oh, my child... Talking nonsense again!" Zeng Xuerou pretended to be angry and rolled her eyes at Gu Xiaonan for a moment, then said, "Okay, hurry up and get packed. You don't want to make your boss at the Leng Group angry. And… A girl must know what she wants… Be decisive!"

Gu Xiaonan nodded, but she was not quite sure whether she fully understood the meaning of her mother's words. Just as Gu Xiaonan was heading for the Leng Group, An Qi was still alone, guarding many large and small bags beneath the hot sun.

"These two people... Could they have secretly played a few more rounds?" An Qi muttered as she pulled out her mobile phone, then scrolled through Leng Yuchen's updates to see where Leng Yuchen and An Yufei had played in the children's area.

As she focused on this intently, a dark shadow flashed in front of her, then immediately grabbed her mobile phone out of her hand and ran away! By the time An Qi responded, the man had run out of the waiting area by the roller coaster, weaved his way through the crowd, and disappeared!

An Qi scolded the man aloud, while watching him run away, "How can you run so fast? You should be a professional athlete with such skills!"

Then, when she looked back again, she was stunned and thought immediately... Gosh! That fast runner is already causing me a headache, but I surely didn't expect this to become a gang crime!

She thought this because, as she had turned around, she saw that the big and small bags, which had been sitting under the sun, had all been taken away by people as she had been distracted by the runner! This almost brought An Qi to tears, and she thought... Oh no! Those things are all Miss Manman's!

An Qi knew that if Dong Manman got out off of the roller coaster and saw that the sunscreen she needed to protect her sensitive skin had disappeared, her skin might burn instantly, and she would surely scold An Qi on the spot!

After all, for Dong Manman, there were two greatest regrets in her life. One was that she would grow fat, and the other was that she would have a skin color that was several shades darker than other girls'.

She was quite sensitive about her skin tone, and she had always wondered whether the cause of her somewhat darker skin was the fire in which she had inhaled too much smoke within.

However, if An Qi thought that her nightmare of a day was going to end like this, that was a big mistake. Just when she thought that she had lost all of the bags so carelessly, there was a sudden gust of wind that passed, coming from just over her head, which caused An Qi to look up immediately.

With a quick glance, An Qi recognized immediately that what had fallen from the sky were the bags that she had just lost! At the moment, they were raining down around An Qi, like really heavy snowflakes!

This time, An Qi knew that she could not stay where she was. So, when the first bag fell, she took several steps backwards, her head up in order to avoid being hit by it.

However, the "bag rain" did not end there. After An Qi avoided several bags, one after another, she began to feel dizzy and her legs started to feel quite wobbly.

Seeing that the last bag was approaching her, An Qi panicked and tripped over her own feet, then immediately fell to the ground! "Ah!" she yelled.

At this time, it was impossible for her to stand up and run to the side. So, An Qi covered her eyes and waited for the worst.

She determined right then and there that if she was not killed at this moment, she would confront the thief face to face when she finally caught hold of him! And… Even if she was killed, she would then dive into that man's dreams, turn into a ghost, and frighten him to death!

However, on this day, An Qi did not meet her demise. This was because she had travelled with Leng Yuchen this day. And... He had once said that An Qi would be fully protected as long as he was with her...
