975 Perplexed and Smitten 35 (1/2)
”He doesn't seem like he has a nice temper.” Recalling the text that Mr. Xiao had sent, An Xiaoning added, ”I asked him why he sent that piece of drawing, and he said it was to spite you. I asked him if he was your love rival in our past lives, and he answered that I was a precious gem in your eyes but just a bunch of grass to him.”
Hearing this, Jin Qingyan couldn't help but break into a laugh. ”He really said that?”
”Could it be fake?” An Xiaoning tiptoed and took a pile of papers as she hooked her arm around his neck. ”I'm actually quite curious about the kind of person he is.”
”Who cares what kind of person he is? I can rest assured, in any case.”
”Rest assured about what?” She flashed a bright smile and asked the obvious.
”Rest assured that he has no interest in you.” Jin Qingyan had his arms around her waist as he plopped down on the bed with her. ”If it's someone like him, if he really was interested in you, I would have another huge headache.”
”How could it be that every man has interest in me? I'm not even a virgin. I've given birth, am in my thirties, and was married thrice. In a normal city, I'll long have been the target of censure. I still think that just being able to receive your love alone is Heaven showing kindness to me. I've never harbored any designs of receiving the love of many people. That's not what I want.”
These words were truly coming from the bottom of her heart. The love that she desired was simply of two people loving each other forever. That was all.
Jin Qingyan caressed her face and gently planted a kiss on her forehead. ”I've read the information already, you should hurry and take a look.”
”Okay.”
As she rested on his arm, the two snuggled up together while An Xiaoning raised her head and carefully read each and every page of the stack of information.
To finish reading the whole stack, she took a whole half an hour of serious reading.
Placing the information aside, she asked, ”Are the members of this Yin family really the descendents of that Yin family centuries from ago?”
”It's been confirmed, there's no mistake about it. This Yin family has moved from G City to B City three hundred years ago. Since then, they started to lie low and went into other businesses. None of the family members exposed themselves outside by inheriting their ancestor's family business. Was it really to end the family business or to hide their cover? There's no way to find out though.”
An Xiaoning analyzed, ”It was probably to hide their cover. If they had such a strong family business, how could it have collapsed so easily? Such family businesses are probably passed on from one generation to the next.”
”I think so too.”
”I want to know what they look like.” An Xiaoning was extremely eager to find out. ”I wonder when we will be able to recall it. Otherwise, how about we find their graves and restore their skulls? Won't that be faster?”
”The problem is, we don't know where their graves are. There's no need to rush, what's meant to be will happen. You're frequently recalling a lot of memories already. It's a matter of time before both of us will be able to remember how they look like. There's no hurry.”
”Right, I almost forgot.” She sat upright and took out the phone she used to contact that Mr. Xiao. ”The phone's run out of battery. This is an all-in-one phone, can you get Shixin to send a compatible charger here?”
”Okay.”
....
”Boss, that fellow is calling you again!”
An Xiaoning fished out her phone and glanced at Jin Qingyan. ”It's from Wen Lele.”
”You should answer and see what's going on.”
Her finger slid at the display screen to answer the call, and she turned on the loudspeaker. ”Ms. Wen, what's the matter?”
”Ms. An, did you know that He Yi is actually working as an archeologist like me?”
”He told you that he's working as an archeologist?” she threw the question back to her.
”He didn't, I went to his house and found many specialied tools used by an archeologist.”
”Why did you go to his house? To have a tour around and see how big it is?”
Wen Lele exclaimed, ”Ms. An, don't tease me. He especially invited me over.”
