1274 I Want to Make You Stay 152 (1/2)
”How much is a little bit?”
”One or two drops a day.”
She said, ”Let me ingest your blood, then. I want to be with you forever. I don't want to become old and wrinkled while you're still so young and youthful-looking… Our children…”
Staring at her, Jin Qingyan answered, ”If you keep worrying about this problem, you'll continue being troubled and fretting over it. For example, you'll be worried about our grandchildren and the following generations, because when you've lived enough, you would want them to be just like you too. So, stop worrying about these problems that are uncalled for. I've already thought about our future.”
”What are your plans?”
”Once Yiheng is old enough and capable of running the company, I'll hand everything over to him. We'll then travel around the world or move to a place where nobody knows us. How does that sound?”
An Xiaoning could not help but feel a little melancholic, for she knew the cold harsh truth was that they would probably become immortal while their children will live like ordinary humans.
However, Jin Qingyan was right. There was no way they could interfere with the lives of their future generations. Hence, it would be best to let nature take its course.
She did not like the idea of letting him live on forever, all by himself.
Noticing that she was not answering him, Jin Qingyan seemed to have sensed something unusual about her. ”Are you really that upset?” he asked.
”No, I just feel a little emotional to have suddenly realized this truth. However, I got over it and thought through it instantly. If I were to insist that our children become like us, they'll probably wish the same for their own children. It'll then become a vicious cycle, and everything is going to be so chaotic. We've already defied the laws of nature. As for our children, I think they should abide by the laws of nature and not follow in our footsteps. Don't they always say that the best part of being a parent is enjoying the growing process of their children? Everyone is a unique individual. However, why does Xiao Chenyang have to feed Erlan with his blood secretly? Can't he just tell her about it truthfully?”
”I guess it's because Fang Erlan might be too afraid to drink his blood? Although it's only a minute amount, I doubt most humans can stomach the fact that they're drinking someone else's blood.” Noticing that she seemed much more relaxed, Jin Qingyan continued, ”But again, how would I know what he's thinking? I can't read his mind.”
An Xiaoning chuckled and remarked, ”Poor Erlan. She's probably going to be subdued by him.”
”Aren't I pitiful too? You've completely subdued me as well. Why aren't you showing me any sympathy?” Jin Qingyan protested.
Auntie Chen called, ”Young Sir, Young Madam, it's time for dinner.”
”Alright,” An Xiaoning responded. She then said to Jin Qingyan, ”I'll go call the kids in for dinner.”
....
During dinner, Fan Shixin handed An Xiaoning the investigation report that contained He Yi's call history for the past three months. After taking a look, she discovered that there were a few numbers that he had been contacting rather frequently. He had also saved the numbers as contacts.
The moment she saw Wang Jinsheng's name, An Xiaoning immediately checked her mobile phone to see that the numbers did tally.
Disappointment filled her heart.
She had no idea who the other names were. Hence, she instructed Fan Shixin, ”Check up on the profiles of these names.”
”Alright. But according to the GPS tracker that we had planted in his car, he's already gone to Mo Sha District now.”
”Mo Sha District?” asked An Xiaoning, who knew that it was a popular tribal area in A City.
It was the place of residence for several different tribes.
”Qingyan, does He Yi belong to a minority tribe?”
”No.”
