429 The Secret About the Past 47 (2/2)
She could only stare on helplessly.
An Xiaoning poured two glasses of red wine and handed him one.
They sat there and sipped on the wine in silence.
An Xiaoning was well aware of his liquor tolerance. They stared at each other quietly and enjoyed the wine.
A deafening silence filled the air. At this very moment, someone began to knock on the door.
”Who's there?”
”It's me,” said Bu Xianxian.
An Xiaoning stood up to open the door and stared at her. ”What's the matter?”
”I'd like to have a word with Nick.”
”Sure, come in.” An Xiaoning then turned around and walked back to her seat.
After entering, Bu Xianxian made another request, ”Um… could you please go out for a while?”
”What's the big secret? Why can't you let me hear it?” An Xiaoning scoffed.
”Just excuse us for a while. I'll come out after a few words,” said Bu Xianxian.
”Alright.” What's there to fear since there are voice recorders and surveillance cameras in here?
An Xiaoning walked out of the cabin straight away and even closed the door for them.
Staring at Bu Xianxian, Jin Qingyan asked, ”What would you like to tell me?”
”Nick, we've been living together for more than a month and I've always treated you as the most important person to me. Do you feel the same way about me?”
Jin Qingyan nodded and said, ”You're very important to me too. If it weren't for you, I would've probably died long ago.”
”Placing the fact that I saved you aside, how do you feel about me? Nick, I fell in love with you the moment I first saw you, before I even knew that you had a wife and a son. What are your feelings towards me?”
”I like you too, but in the brotherly way. I see you as my sister,” Jin Qingyan said bluntly.
Bu Xianxian's initial smile and joy vanished at the instant that he said he only treated her like his sister.
”Did you say that only because you're now aware that you have a wife and son?”
”No, I said that because it's precisely how I feel.”
Bu Xianxian was struck with a sudden blow. ”Why don't I find it believable at all?”
”Xianxian, I'm already married with a child. These are just facts that won't change even if I've lost my memory. So please, get your feelings sorted out,” Jin Qingyan said calmly, as if her words did not have an impact on him at all.
Bu Xianxian felt incredibly upset and swallowed the rest of the thoughts in her mind, which she was no longer in the mood to say.
She did not utter another word and walked out of the cabin.
An Xiaoning raised her brows in bewilderment and surprise at the sight of Bu Xianxian exiting so soon.
She zoomed back inside and asked Jin Qingyan, ”What did she talk to you about?”
”Oh, nothing much.”
Noticing that he was rather reluctant to speak up, An Xiaoning did not probe further.
Three hours passed by in the blink of an eye.
It was one o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived home.
Jin Yiheng was carrying his schoolbag on his shoulders and preparing to go to school. He caught sight of a limousine approaching slowly from afar.
He stopped in his tracks and watched as the limousine pulled over in front of him.
The doors opened and the passengers alighted one by one.
Jin Yiheng's eyes lit up at the sight of An Xiaoning and he leaped towards her joyfully. ”Mommy!”
An Xiaoning felt as if he was a little tornado that sped towards her and hugged her legs in no time.
