1098 Perplexed and Smitten 158 (1/2)
”You will sit here.” He pointed to the exact spot she was thinking of.
Fang Erlan asked in a puzzled manner, ”Why? I'm still confused. Can't you just give me an answer?”
Xiao Chenyang still refused to answer her, causing her to be extremely frustrated due to curiosity.
”Hop on.”
”No.”
Xiao Chenyang could not be bothered to talk to her either. He simply picked her up and placed her in the back row of the car before closing the door shut forcefully.
A pitiful Fang Erlan was squeezed up at the back row of the car, and she glared indignantly at the man sitting in front of her.
However, despite how she glared at him, he never turned back the whole time or answered her doubts.
After bearing with it for ten minutes, Fang Erlan watched as the car drove to an unknown direction and could no longer take it. ”Are you trying to make me die of curiosity?!”
”You won't possibly die because of that.”
”Tell me honestly, is this female corpse that has been preserved for centuries your ancestor?”
”Ancestor?” Xiao Chenyang lips twitched as he answered, ”Given my height… is it possible that I'd have an ancestor that's only about 1.5 meters tall?”
”She could have inherited the genes of your male ancestors… but, since you've said it like this, it means she isn't your relative. Then who on earth was she? How is she related to you? Don't tell me you're really going to bring this corpse back to Qingyuan Estate?”
”I've already prepared the grave, I'm bringing her to the crematorium now.” He automatically ignored her first two questions and merely replied to her last question.
”This is an ancient corpse, though. Won't an archeological team want to analyze it? Why would they allow you to cremate and bury it? Also, if you're not related to this corpse, would the archeological team have allowed you to collect it?”
”I am indeed related to her.”
”And you said she wasn't your ancestor…” Fang Erlan replied simple-mindedly; she did not think about anything else that would have required her to venture out of her thinking capacity.
”She's Nan Chuang.”
These words were like a sudden bolt of lightning, which left Fang Erlan completely astounded.
It took a while for her to finally recover.
”Nan Chuang…” she murmured these words to herself before asking, ”The two of you… how are the two of you related…?”
Previously, she had thought that this Nan Chuang must be the woman he loved most. But now, she had to overturn her theory because this woman was someone who had been dead for so many years!
But if she was someone who had been dead for so many years, how would he know her name so clearly and call out for her when he was drunk…?
A terrifying truth came to her mind.
Despite that, she refused to believe it.
”She's the woman I love the most.”
Fang Erlan looked up abruptly. ”How could it be… she's been dead for so long, and you… Don't tell me… you… you…”
He gave an unrestrained laugh, simply agreeing with her words tacitly. ”Are you scared?”
Such a laughter from him struck her heart directly, leaving her catching her breath.
Fang Erlan's face turned absolutely pale. She could no longer move.
Her limbs went numb and cold.
It was as if her blood had stopped circulating in her body.
”You… you…” She gulped before going on, ”Don't tell me, you've lived for… many years?”
He watched the state she was in through the rear view mirror, and the whole scene was what he had expected long ago. It was only the beginning, yet she was already in such a state of shock.
If she were to find out the whole truth, one could only imagine…
But there were some things that she had to find out sooner or later.
It was just a matter of time.
He wanted to tell her little by little, starting from this moment and then onward.
Seeing how quiet he was being, Fang Erlan asked, ”Why aren't you speaking?”
”What do you want me to say?”
