498 The Secret About the Past 116 (1/2)

It finally began to pour in the morning after two days of gloomy weather.

Realizing that it was already past seven o'clock, An Xiaoning struggled to get out of bed. However, Jin Qingyan hugged her waist tightly and refused to let her get up.

She reached out to nudge Jin Qingyan, who sprung up abruptly. ”Why did you nudge me?”

”Because I'm good at it,” she answered, getting out of bed calmly.

”What an absurd answer…”

”Stop wasting time and lazing around. It's already half-past seven. You'll almost be late by the time you finish breakfast,” she urged, placing the outfit she picked for him from the closet in the dressing room onto the bed.

”It's my company. I may report to work at whatever time I want. No one would dare to reprimand me for being late.”

”As a leader, how are you supposed to earn the respect of your subordinates if you can't even be punctual yourself?” said An Xiaoning.

Jin Qingyan put on his clothes, after which he and An Xiaoning proceeded to the bathroom to brush their teeth.

She squeezed some toothpaste onto his toothbrush and handed it to him before doing the same for herself.

Being able to go to bed and wake up next to the woman he loved every day was a life he had always dreamed off. He felt that life was full of joy and happiness.

”Why are you smiling so widely when we're just brushing our teeth?” she asked in puzzlement, nudging him with her elbow.

”I'm really glad to be able to see such a beautiful wife every morning.”

An Xiaoning giggled and said, ”Do you really think so?”

”Of course.”

”I'm not going to the police station anymore from now on.”

”Why? Don't you enjoy investigating cases? Why aren't you going anymore?” Jin Qingyan asked.

”The police headquarters have found someone to replace me during my prolonged absence. She's psychic and can communicate with spirits too. So, I'm not going to report to the police station anymore. Well, it doesn't matter since there are other things I have to do now, like searching for my biological parents. Qingyan, it never really mattered much to me in the past, but now that I've decided to search for them, I'd really like to find out the truth sooner.”

Jin Qingyan hurriedly rinsed his mouth before saying to her, ”I don't want you to enter the palace so quickly, because it won't be easy to come out again once you're inside. I'll miss you so much. I don't want to be separated from you.”

An Xiaoning placed her toothbrush into the mug and hugged him tightly. ”I don't want to be away from you either.”

Jin Qingyan headed downstairs while embracing her throughout.

”Although I don't wish to part from you, I'll still support you in searching for your parents like how I support all your decisions. Seize the opportunity while you can and don't leave any regrets for yourself.”

”Hubby, you're the best. Will you always be so good to me?” An Xiaoning asked coquettishly, which was rather rare of her.

”Of course. I'll treat you well forever and always.”

”Young Sir, Young Madam, Sir is here,” Fan Shixin reported.

”Okay, let him in,” Jin Qingyan instructed as he took a seat.

Mr. Jin entered with heavy footsteps. Noticing that they were all present, Mr. Jin said straight away, ”Qingyan, I have something to discuss with you.”

”There are no outsiders here. You may just speak your mind now,” said Jin Qingyan, showing no signs of standing up.

Mr. Jin took a glance at An Xiaoning, who did not even bother looking at him.
