683 A Million Times for You 45 (1/2)
It was drizzling outside when Jin Qingyan drove out of Wei Ni Estate.
He went out alone without any bodyguards with him.
The car was headed toward Beijia Bay.
When he arrived, the rain had gotten heavier.
He parked his car at a distance away and turned to grab a black umbrella before getting down from the car.
After locking his car, he leisurely walked toward the wooden door.
The door was unlocked.
Jin Qingyan pushed open the door, and what came to sight was a white lantern hung before the door of the main house. It was a solemn and respectful sight.
A man came out and, upon seeing that it was him, immediately turned and went back into the house, presumably to report his arrival.
An Xiaoning was kneeling down before the coffin and folding paper gold ingots. Jin Qingyan kneeled down before her and asked, ”Why didn't you call me?”
”What for?”
”For me to fold these with you.”
”I feel that Mr. Jin's body and hands are much more precious. There's no need to trouble you with such things.”
He brought over a cushion and kneeled there together with her, naturally taking a piece of golden paper to fold the ingots with her.
”We shouldn't be this distanced.” There was a slight pause after his clear voice sounded. ”After all, we're very familiar with each other.”
An Xiaoning did not bother much about him and continued to fold her gold ingots while he helped her out as well.
During these past few days, An Xiaoning lived with the old lady, accompanying her to live the final days of her life.
Once humans depart from this world, they no longer leave their mark around.
Nothing else matters anymore as well.
She accepted her teacher's last words and buried her within the house.
The place for the burial had already been dug. Unfortunately, it started raining, and they could bury her only after the rain had stopped.
Who could have expected that instead of stopping, the rain would grow heavier?
They could only wait on in silence.
The elderly lady had just passed away, and An Xiaoning did not call the Xu family, so they were unaware of it.
This was part of the elderly lady's instructions.
She did not want those unimportant people disturbing her.
”Before I came here, Gu Dongcheng went to find me.”
”What did he find you for?”
Jin Qingyan stared at her with his eyes twinkling. ”Make a guess.”
An Xiaoning answered, ”You laid a blow.”
Her statement was a declarative one.
As to what it was that she was referring to, both of them knew it well and clear.
He blinked his eyes at her a few times, and An Xiaoning retracted her gaze, lowering her head as she continued folding.
”You can buy a lot of these with just a bit of money, why do you have to fold them one by one yourself?”
”Sincerity.” She was still rather curious and asked, ”How did you handle it?”
”Give me a kiss and I'll tell you.”
”You can tell or not, it's up to you.”
He naturally could not hold it in and explained it to her in detail.
An Xiaoning did not expect that he would be so prudent in handling this matter, leaving no loopholes at all. ”You're indeed an expert, after all.”
”You're complimenting me?”
”Yeah.”
Although he knew that she was just patronizing him, he was still pleased inside. ”I'm going to the Autumn Palace as well.”
”I know.”
”Shall we go there together?”
An Xiaoning responded bluntly, ”So that we can appear on the news together?”
”…”
”Boss, someone is calling you again!” Her phone, which was placed on the table, started ringing, and since it was nearer to Jin Qingyan, he picked it up before she could.
