The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 861 - 445: Truly Revealing An Ning’s Identity (Fifth Update)
"Fu Xingyi..." An Ning paused, then earnestly told Xiao Jinxing, "She is the person An Ning loves deeply."
An Ning.
Xiao Jinxing’s fingers trembled.
"Actually, you should have realized earlier that I am not Ye Qichi." An Ning looked at Xiao Jinxing. With his intelligence, it’s impossible not to suspect Ye Qichi’s sudden change, "I am An Ning; a person from another world who originally does not exist in your universe, somehow my soul transmigrated here. Don’t ask me why it happened, because I don’t know either. I inexplicably ended up in Ye Qichi’s body, but since heaven placed me here, I can only use her body to live well."
"Is this your true self?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"Yes, this is my true self now." An Ning nodded, "That’s why An Youyou looks like that, identical to An Ning. Of course, according to genetics, An Youyou can’t exactly resemble An Ning, but many things happen in a completely inexplicable way, even An Ning’s special constitution has magically crossed over as well. But there’s no need to delve deeply, since souls can transmigrate, what strange things couldn’t happen?"
This is why An Ning has always been calm.
She is inherently an anomaly, so why pursue the so-called natural laws?
"So in the beginning, you truly didn’t like me." Xiao Jinxing murmured.
Asking An Ning, yet seemingly asking himself.
"I didn’t like you, the person I love is Fu Xingyi, my fiancé in my world." An Ning reaffirmed her answer.
"Is he still in that world?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"He’s dead." An Ning said, holding back her emotions.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
He didn’t know whether to feel glad or not glad at this moment. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Why didn’t you tell me who you really were from the start?"
"Would you have believed me if I told you from the beginning?" An Ning retorted.
Xiao Jinxing lowered his eyes.
He didn’t know if he would believe.
Probably not.
"Besides, staying by your side does have my purpose." An Ning explained, "I’m not hiding from you, I actually know everyone’s fate in your world. I am very aware that you will become the Emperor, so to repay Ye Qichi for lending me her body, I need to protect her family, which can only be done by relying on you. I’ve been focused on supporting you in ascending the throne to shelter the Ye Family, then once my task is accomplished, I can leave you, leave the Imperial Palace, travel the world, and live a free life."
"Is my destiny truly to become the Emperor?" Xiao Jinxing asked her.
Suppressing a very calm demeanor, he questioned her.
"Avenge, ascend the throne, and spend a lifetime with Bai Mowan." An Ning stated clearly, "Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted to accomplish? And heaven is favorably regarded, everything will be realized for you."
"Then if I say my current wish is to spend the rest of my life with you, will it be realized?" Xiao Jinxing looked at her.
Until today, he truly understood.
Turns out, Ye Qichi, no, should say An Ning, truly does not love him.
Everything she has done for him is only because she knows his fate and is aware that only by relying on him could she protect the Ye Family.
While he always believed her effort to save him from death was because of her love.
Because she loves him very, very much.
Thus, it should have been fine.
Their relationship is just a mutually beneficial one.
He wouldn’t feel an overwhelming guilt for repeatedly risking her life.
But facing the truth left him shocked, panicked, and helpless.
Without love.
What can he use to keep her?
Without love, what reason would he have to bring her back to him?
"I’ve told you so much just to make you understand. First, I am not Ye Qichi, I do not love you. Second, I have no feelings for you, everything I did for you was for myself, so you need not feel guilty. Lastly, let me and An Youyou leave here, I don’t belong here, nor do I belong to anyone. I’m merely a passerby for all of you."
A passerby.
To An Ning, he too is just a passerby.
Only for her purpose did they reluctantly intersect, and when the goal is achieved, she would vanish—a passerby never to be seen again.
Xiao Jinxing endured the unbearable pain in his heart.
This was why he hesitated to see An Ning.
He understood clearly.
Since An Ning came here voluntarily, she had prepared herself to leave.
"You bore me children." Xiao Jinxing spoke, enunciating each word clearly, "So, you are no longer a passerby."
An Ning pursed her lips.
She knew this was the one condition she could not negotiate with Xiao Jinxing.
Without An Youyou and An Luming, she and Xiao Jinxing could have quickly parted ways, with no contact till death.
Now, because of them, she indeed found it hard to reach a consensus with Xiao Jinxing.
When she decided to birth them, she considered there might be such a day, but she never truly understood how to solve this dilemma, she could only try her best not to let Xiao Jinxing discover.
"I hope you can pretend they don’t exist." An Ning requested.
Feeling somewhat selfish for her words.
Blood ties are subtle.
Everything can be severed, but kinship cannot.
"They are my only children." Xiao Jinxing said.
His tone light.
Yet every word seemingly condemning her heartlessness.
An Ning gently bit her lip, slowly saying, "Didn’t Bai Mowan give you a Prince?"
"That’s not mine." Xiao Jinxing replied.
An Ning was somewhat incredulous.
It’s genuinely hard to believe.
If it’s not Xiao Jinxing’s, then could it be... that guard from Beimu Country?!
Would Xiao Jinxing indeed be magnanimous enough to raise someone else’s child? To raise the enemy’s child?!
Moreover, with Bai Mowan’s character, she wouldn’t possibly give birth to a child humiliating her.
Her pride absolutely wouldn’t permit it.
"It’s Bai Moyi’s." Xiao Jinxing stated, "After Bai Mowan was violated in Beimu Country, she returned and discovered her pregnancy, then she irresponsibly miscarried. But at that time, her body was frail; suffering a miscarriage caused physical harm, resulting in her inability to have children anymore."
An Ning understood.
Xiao Jinxing empathized with Bai Mowan’s inability to have children, so he secretly let her adopt Bai Moyi’s child to accompany Bai Mowan.
This indeed makes sense.
Though she never imagined what Bai Mowan experienced post that incident.
"Therefore, I won’t let you leave with Youyou, and I will bring Luming back to the palace." Xiao Jinxing stated.
"Is it just for the children that you won’t let me go?" An Ning asked him.
Xiao Jinxing couldn’t have Bai Mowan’s child and was unwilling to favor other concubines lest he hurt Bai Mowan’s feelings.
And she happened to bear him two children.
For Xiao Jinxing, it’s like a windfall from heaven!
