Chapter 49: Arrival at the Mansion

The rest of the drive was peaceful. The two men in front occasionally talked, but the bulk of the time, it was comfortable silence.

However, behind them, Xue Ning wasn't feeling well-rested at all! Her heart was racing a mile a minute, all thanks to the words she overheard when she was supposed to be dead to the world. Her ability to know when someone was talking about her never seemed to rest, it seemed. 

"If it's not Xue Ning, I don't want anyone else."

Her eyes nearly opened in shock; thankfully she managed to suppress that urge. She squeezed her eyes shut instead, focusing on keeping her breathing even. 

How was she supposed to live with that knowledge? She could have pretended it was about her as a bodyguard, but deep down, she knows, Sun Jingwei harboured other intentions. Romantic intentions, the kind that led to a huge church wedding and walks on the beach during sunset and owning dogs together.
