Chapter 571: The Secret About the Past (189)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tuoba Gucheng’s heart was racing nervously. Why couldn’t she be awakened if she was just sleeping?

She was that deeply asleep?

But since the doctor had already said that, he could only put her on the sofa and let her be. She was supposed to be on duty to protect him, but now it was the opposite...

He stood there, looking down at her as she slept. Perhaps it was because of something that they had done, something that should not have happened between them, his attitude toward her had improved drastically. Also, as he looked at her now, she did not seem that ugly, after all.

Or could it be that his eyesight was declining?

Throughout the night, he occasionally woke up to check on her and realized she was sleeping all well and fine.

He’d thought that she would wake up the following day.

However, the reality was that she didn’t.

Even the doctor did not know what was going on.

Tuoba Gucheng searched online and got a wide variety of answers.

There were even some people who just slept on for many years like that.

Just looking at such answers made his jaw drop in horror.

For the whole day, he was thinking of this strange incident.

Before he slept on the night of the 16th of July, he was still wondering if this woman would actually not wake up for many years.

Yet, in the middle of the night, he felt something licking his face and two arms wrapping around him tightly. Opening his eyes, he received a near-death shock.

He turned on the lights. Seeing An Xiaoning right next to him, he was mortified.

“Why... did you climb onto my bed? Are you tired of living? Get down now!”

“Woof woof woof...”

Tuoba Gucheng reached out and pressed her face. “Are you a dog? You still dare to bark at me? Get down now!”

“Woof woof woof woof...”

All the thoughts in his mind crumbled as he immediately dragged her to the sofa. “Mu Ning, since you’re awake, stop acting crazy. Do your guard duty properly.”

He watched as she sat on the sofa, her sparkling eyes staring right at him, emitting an innocent gaze.

“Say something.”

“...”

Tuoba Gucheng was going mad. He went closer to her. “Have you gone dumb from sleeping?”

“Woof woof... ow...”

Seeing her act in an abnormal way, Tuoba Gucheng hurriedly put on his clothes and went to consult a witch.

The witch came over with him and immediately diagnosed, “She’s been possessed by the spirit of a yellow Labrador.”

“A yellow Labrador?”

Tuoba Gucheng instantly thought of the favorite dog he had a few years ago. It was exactly a yellow Labrador, but it died of an illness eventually.

He suddenly felt the weight of the problem he was facing.

“Is there a way to make her go back to normal?”

The witch responded, “We usually have to wait ’til October to do a ritual to scare the spirit away. Her body is too weak at the moment, so even a dog can possess her.”

“October is too far away, is there a faster method?”

“No, unless the dog is willing to get out of her body before that.”

This was really an eye-opener for Tuoba Gucheng. If he had not witnessed it himself, he would never have believed that such things could actually happen in this world.

“Then, how can we make it leave by itself?”

“Satisfy its wishes. Maybe if you satisfy its wishes, it will leave without regrets.”

Tuoba Gucheng especially instructed the witch, “You mustn’t let this get out.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I know what to do.”

“Alright, you may go.”

Tuoba Gucheng sent the witch out of the door.

“Your Highness, what is a witch doing here?” Xiao Chi inquired.

“Nothing much, I just wanted her to see if there’s something dirty inside.”

“So, is there?”

“No.” He muttered, then clasped his hands behind his back and returned to his room.

He immediately locked the door after he closed it shut.

This incident was far too knotty for him to handle.

There were still two to three months to October, and he was about to get married next month. How was he supposed to protect her until October?

He sat on the sofa beside her. “Da Huang, I know you’re very intelligent. I’ll satisfy anything you want, but you need to promise me that you won’t stay in others’ body and refuse to leave, okay?”

“Woof.”

“Very good. I can’t believe that you’re still by my side in another form even when you’re dead. I’m very touched.”

He patted its head just like how he used to before, just that instead of Da Huang’s head, it was now An Xiaoning’s head.

At the thought of the beloved dog he once owned, his heart felt rather heavy. When he first had Da Huang, it was only a little puppy, but he spent time around it every day. It was a male labrador, and he personally bathed it every day and injected it with its vaccine. When he slept at night, Da Huang slept with him as well.

When it saw him, it would excitedly lick its face and wag its tail frantically.

However, when it turned ill and died eventually, he remained in low spirits for a very long time.

Now that he had finally moved on, he couldn’t believe that he could see it again in this form.

It was really completely beyond his expectations.

When he lay down, An Xiaoning merrily jumped onto the bed. That’s right, she literally jumped.

She lay down right beside him, positioning herself exactly like how Da Huang used to sleep beside him.

Although Tuoba Gucheng knew that she was Da Huang now, a part of him was still torn inside and felt that she was still Mu Ning.

It was very difficult for him to get used to, despite the two of them not using the same blanket.

The thought of a woman’s body lying right beside him made it hard for him to fall asleep. Moreover, in his memory, it was the woman whom he had slept with before.

The feelings he had were simply indescribable.

From this day onwards, Tuoba Gucheng never let An Xiaoning leave his room.

He even locked the door from the outside whenever he left the mansion.

The bodyguards all wanted to know where An Xiaoning had gone, but nobody dared to ask.

Everyone was speculating whether or not His Highness was keeping An Xiaoning as his lover. If it were true, his taste was far too unique.

Although everyone had speculations, nobody dared to make any outright guesses.

Xiao Chi never saw An Xiaoning as well, but he knew that An Xiaoning was being kept in Tuoba Gucheng’s room as he had gone to An Xiaoning’s room to check before and found no one inside.

He had also eavesdropped on His Highness while the latter was conversing with someone in his room. The situation could not be any more obvious.

Thinking about his Young Sir, Xiao Chi felt that it was a huge shock to his morals.

Was his Young Madam actually having an affair?

Could she have fallen for His Highness?

The Prince was about to hold his wedding in August, though, so what exactly was going on?

It was simply incomprehensible.

Finally, another week had passed.

Xiao Chi received Fan Shixin’s call, asking about An Xiaoning’s situation.

Xiao Chi divulged everything that he knew to him. Fan Shixin reconfirmed in an incredulous tone, “Are you sure?”

“I don’t dare to lie to you, Chief. The bodyguards here all know about it. Young Madam and His Highness are living together now.”

Fan Shixin felt that things were completely doomed.

There was no longer any room for salvation.

When he hung up the call, Fan Shixin glanced at his Young Sir beside him, suddenly at a loss for words.

“Fan Shixin, you do know the consequences of lying to me, right?” Jin Qingyan went right into it. “Tell me what is going on.”

“Yes, Young Sir...” He did not dare to look at Jin Qingyan’s face as he repeated everything Xiao Chi had told him.
