1162 I Want to Make You Stay 40 (1/2)
Yu Yiwei was quick to react, and she asked, ”Does Mr. Jin already know that you're aware of his condition?”
”Yes, we've already come clean with each other.”
”Alright. When would you like to set off?”
”Forty minutes from now. We'll have to stay over at B City tonight.”
”Alright, I'll go prepare a set of clothes now.”
”Alright, go ahead,” An Xiaoning said with a smile that vanished the instant Yu Yiwei turned around. She then placed the glass on the table and leaned on the chair.
Once Yu Yiwei vanished out of sight, An Xiaoning said, ”Judging from her expression, she seems to have already guessed that something had happened to Xihou Jiaping. She just doesn't dare to verify it yet.”
”She's probably not going to admit it for the sake of her own safety. After all, the only person who can prove that she's Yin Cun is now dead.”
”I have a solution. Just leave this to me,” said An Xiaoning.
”Weren't you going to interact with me tonight? Why are you staying out instead? You're leaving me again so soon. Your baby is upset,” he said with his eyes closed.
”I'll make it up to you in double when I get back, alright?”
He smiled and said, ”Alright, I'll wait for you.”
”I'm going upstairs to get my bag,” she said, after which she rose from her seat.
Jin Qingyan squinted and stared at the sky above him. He felt completely relaxed and at peace.
He felt that he had the world beneath his feet as long as his children and An Xiaoning were by his side.
”Mm, feels great.”
”Young Sir, what feels great?” asked Fan Shixin, who happened to hear what he murmured.
”Everything. Sit down, I'll talk to you about something.”
Feeling a little spooked by the grin on Jin Qingyan's face, Fan Shixin sat down beside him and asked, ”Young Sir, what do you want to tell me?”
Staring at him earnestly, Jin Qingyan asked, ”Shixin, how many years have you been working for me?”
”I started working for you long ago. It's been many, many years.”
”Well then… I'd like to know, why didn't you tell me that your Young Madam was hiding the fact that she had already found out about my illness?”
”Because… Young Sir, even you take orders from Young Madam. Why would I dare to defy her?”
Jin Qingyan was at a loss for words.
He changed the subject and asked, ”You ceased the registration for your matchmaking sessions. Have you set your eyes on a great girl?”
Fan Shixin answered, ”There's indeed one. She's 23 years old this year and is outgoing and bubbly. I plan to get to know her better.”
”Not bad, you're being a cradle-snatcher. I hope you'll get married soon.”
”Young Sir, I'm not that old…”
”You're much older than her, aren't you? However, you must be very careful. If she's genuinely a great girl, then you ought to treat her well. However, if she has an ulterior motive, you ought to find out as soon as possible, lest you fall into her trap. Not all women are like your Young Madam.”
”I understand. Ah, if only Young Madam had a younger sister.”
Jin Qingyan smiled and asked, ”So what if she has a younger sister?”
”If she has a younger sister…” Fan Shixin rose from his seat all of a sudden and bowed to Jin Qingyan. He continued, ”Hello, Brother-in-law!”
”…”
