416 The Secret About the Past 34 (2/2)
”We'll leave the rest for when I recover.” Little did Bu Xianxian know, Jin Qingyan wanted desperately to see them when he heard her mention that they were from his family. However, he decided to let the matter rest after realizing that she did make some sense. Thus, he decided to just wait until he recovered to start looking for his family.
Sensing that he was rather disappointed, Bu Xianxian asked, ”Nick, are you angry?”

”I feel like you're upset.”
”I really am not. I just have this inexplicable feeling. I'm desperate to know where my family is and what they look like… It's getting late, hurry and go to bed.”
”…”
The thunder was rumbling loudly amidst the pouring rain. By the time Bu Xianxian had fallen asleep, Jin Qingyan was still wide awake.
He was constantly rubbing the jade ring on his thumb with his finger beneath the blanket.
Again and again…
He finally managed to fall asleep but was haunted by a string of nightmares.
Yet, he could not remember any of it when he woke up.
He could not help but find living inside the tent extremely unbearable.

An Xiaoning headed to her son's school in the afternoon to pick him up.
The moment Jin Yiheng saw her, he beamed with joy and skipped towards her merrily. ”Mommy, you really came to pick me up!”
”Of course, didn't Godma already inform you last night?”
”I thought you wouldn't turn up because of how busy you are. Mommy, will Godma still be coming to pick Wenlun and Xiaoxi up?”
”I'll be sending them home too. Get into the car first,” said An Xiaoning as she opened the car door.
Just as he got inside the car, the Long siblings approached while carrying their bags on their shoulders. ”Godma, I haven't seen you in days. I missed you!” exclaimed the glib-tongued Long Xiaoxi.
”I missed you too, Xiaoxi. Hop in, quick,” said An Xiaoning, who held Long Xiaoxi's hand and helped her into the car.
On the way home, the three children in the backseat engaged in continuous chatter throughout the entire journey. An Xiaoning was pleased to see how well they got along with each other. That way, she would not have to worry about her son being neglected when she's too busy to look after him since he could have them for company.
An Xiaoning pulled over at the entrance upon arriving at the estate. The three children alighted from the car together and returned to their respective homes.
”Mommy, do you have good news since you came to pick me up personally today?” asked Jin Yiheng while holding onto An Xiaoning's hand.
”No.”
Upon hearing her answer, he understood that there were no news of his father.
Thus, he decided not to probe further and instead pretended to be in high spirits. With a smile on his face, he said, ”Mommy, stop trying to lose any more weight. Women look better when they're chubbier.”
”Alright, I'll stop being on a diet and eat more from now onwards,” An Xiaoning answered, feeling on the verge of tears. She could tell that her son was worried about her and was indirectly hinting at her to take care of herself.
Her son had grown up.
An Xiaoning was filled with an inexplicable feeling as she gazed at her son, who resembled his father greatly.
She held his hand all the way to the living room where Auntie Chen was laying the lunch spread across the dining table.
Jin Yiheng sat down opposite her and said, ”Mommy, Teacher gave us a question today which we were supposed to ask our parents.”
”What question is it?”
”How did we children come about?”
