Chapter 927: A Million Times for You (289)

Despite remaining quiet, she completely dismissed his words in her head.

No matter how brilliant he may be, he can’t be compared to Jin Qingyan.

“Do you know how I felt when I found out that you were An Xiaoning? I really hoped you would be the ordinary-looking Mu Ning; only then could you really be mine. The happiest time of my life was when you were possessed by Da Huang, because I got to see you lying obediently on my bed. Whenever I hugged you to sleep, you would cuddle me too. However, things took a turn when you returned to your original self and I got married,” said Tuoba Gucheng, recalling the past.

He finally let his guard down and sat beside her. He held her hand and said, “I fell in love with you even before I knew that you were my half-sister. I fell in love with you even before I got married. Despite finding out the truth, I still didn’t think that it was wrong to be in love with you. When I consummated my marriage with her, I just pretended that she was you. I don’t love her at all. However, you really made me so miserable afterward. You put aside everything to reconcile your marriage with Jin Qingyan. I didn’t even mind the fact that you were married to him and even had a son with him…”

Overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions, An Xiaoning stared at him and said, “When I was still Mu Ning, I never thought you would be attracted to or even fall in love with me.”

“When I first saw that face of yours, I too felt like you were way too average-looking and mediocre. However, I realized that I fell in love with your soul after spending more time with you.”

An Xiaoning reached into her chest and grabbed a vial from her bra strap. She then splattered the vial of chemical onto his face at godlike speed.

The instant that she did that, Tuoba Gucheng stiffened and grunted, “You…” before passing out on the bed.

An icy cold stare formed in An Xiaoning’s eyes. She was well aware that one would not be able to swallow voluntarily in an unconscious state.

Fortunately, the person who delivered the chemical to her had also given her a syringe.

Hence, the two vials of chemicals were injected into Tuoba Gucheng’s bloodstream within a short amount of time.

After the injection, she put the syringe away and prepared to bring it out with her later.

She then searched Tuoba Gucheng’s pocket for his mobile phone.

There were two mobile phones.

As expected, one of the mobile phones were in recording mode and he had recorded their entire conversation.

Her eyes lit up as she erased every recording.

She placed the mobile phone back inside his pocket and waited patiently for him to wake up.

—

Shi Xiaoyu was beyond excited, thinking to herself that she would be getting what she wanted very soon.

She could not even put her excitement into words.

She continuously paced back and forth in the room.

After waiting for an hour, someone reported to her, “Madam, Shi Qingzhou has already been brought to the president’s place.”

“Got it, I’ll make my way there at once.”

She hurriedly headed to her son’s mansion.

However, she was dumbstruck the moment she entered.

She was greeted with the sight of Shi Qingzhou and An Xiaoning, who was supposedly imprisoned, holding a cup of tea in their hands each and appearing extremely joyous.

What… did that mean?

She stepped over the gate and said, “Son…”

“You’re here, Mother.”

She frantically rushed forward and asked softly, “What’s going on?”

“I’ll handle this matter. Go back and rest if there’s nothing else. We’ll talk again tomorrow,” he said candidly.

Feeling ill at ease, Shi Xiaoyu said, “You should at least lock them up first.”

“Mother, one of them is my sister while the other is my aunt. Why should I lock them up? We’re family, there’s no need to be so formal.”

Shi Xiaoyu felt as if she was struck by thunder and stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.

“Son, what’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing’s wrong with me. Just stay out of this, Mother. Go home. I’ll chat with Sister for a while.”

“…!!!”

It was Shi Xiaoyu’s very first time hearing her son calling An Xiaoning his sister. That was a first!

It’s way too bizarre.

Could it be that An Xiaoning had used her witchcraft on him?

Overwhelmed with fear and terror, she sneakily left the house and planned to discuss the matter with her father. To her astonishment, she was taken away forcefully by Tuoba Gucheng’s bodyguards and brought back inside the room. They also confiscated all her communication devices.

To her utter shock and dismay, there were also several guards standing outside the door, none of whom were allowed to leave without his instruction.

What happened next was way more outrageous.

It was the middle of the night.

Shi Qingzhou left the Autumn Palace and headed home.

She informed Jin Qingyan of the news and finally felt as if a heavy boulder was lifted off her chest.

In the morning of the next day, there was a piece of groundbreaking news published on the forums online claiming that Tuoba Hancheng was interested in men and that he was only married to Feng Qiubai in name for the sake of political benefits.

There were even photos of Tuoba Hancheng getting intimate with men in a homosexual group.

A piece of similar news had once been exposed before the presidential election previously.

However, it was denied back then.

Yet, the news resurfaced again.

The gossip-loving citizens all had their curiosities piqued by the news.

Although it was a scandal involving the Tuoba family, no one stepped out to deny the news. Within two days of the release, only Tuoba Hancheng and Feng Qiubai stated that the reports were false.

Before the citizens could digest those news, there was yet another piece of breaking news.

This time, it did not only appear on the forums. Rather, it was disseminated to the mainstream media and spread across all media and broadcasting platforms — Tuoba Gucheng had announced that he would like to resign as president!

What!

There was nothing juicier than this that could cause an uproar amongst the citizens.

At the start, everyone was not too curious about who’d become the next president after Tuoba Rui because the candidates would forever be a member of the Tuoba family, regardless of who the chosen one was.

However, things got absurd this time.

Tuoba Hancheng’s homosexuality was exposed. As much as he tried to deny it, everyone had already seen the photos with their very own eyes and, hence, definitely would not be in support of him taking over the position as the president.

Now that the current president had resigned and the public was not in favor of Tuoba Hancheng…

All local and overseas television networks decided to air a live-stream of the parliament meeting.

In the history of the presidential legacy of S Nation, there had not been any cases of the president stepping down within just a short period of time after succeeding the throne.

It was also the first time that a president resigned of his own accord.

Usually, the president would be overthrown and lose his position if all members of the parliament cast their votes in support of stripping the president of his title. However, things were different in the case of a resignation.

He could resign from his duties just by going through a standard administrative procedure.

After all, who would want to resign after becoming the president?

One would hold great authority and power if they were the president.

Many could not understand the reason for Tuoba Gucheng’s resignation.

Needless to say, there was a new president right after Tuoba Gucheng resigned, for the nation could not go a day without a leader.

By rights, Tuoba Rui did not have the right to partake in the election.

However, the members of the parliament nonetheless included him as a candidate because he had brought about prosperity and growth to the nation during his decades-long reign.

Seventy percent of the Cabinet were in support of Tuoba Rui becoming one of the candidates.

The other candidate was Tuoba Shuo, who had always kept a low profile and refrained from appearing on the media.
