1341 I Only Want You 39 (2/2)
To An Xiaoning's surprise, Jin Qingyan was still at home and did not go to the office.
”Young Sir, didn't you go to the office today?”
”Of course not. I waited at home for your return.”
An Xiaoning's eyes lit up and she said teasingly, ”Had I known earlier that you were at home, we would've just come back for lunch. We had lunch at a restaurant before coming home.”
”I know, I saw your location.”
”You definitely don't know who we saw at the restaurant.”
”Who…”
An Xiaoning answered, ”Pei Yi. He said that he's here for a vacation by himself. I don't think he's that brazen to come here alone. Could it be that he had brought his bodyguards but they just didn't tag along with him to the restaurant?”
Jin Qingyan answered, ”We never know. He should have brought some bodyguards with him, given that he knows his life would be in danger once his identity is exposed.”
”Well, we can only turn a blind eye to this. I'll just pretend that I didn't see him today,” said An Xiaoning.
Jin Qingyan knew what her intentions were.
Noticing that Fan Shixin seemed to be a little listless, he asked, ”What's wrong with you?”
An Xiaoning answered on behalf of Fan Shixin, ”It's been hard on Shixin. I fainted after performing the ritual last night and he was the one who accompanied me throughout.”
Jin Qingyan asked, ”You fainted? Why didn't Shixin tell me?”
”I told him to keep it from you because I was afraid that you would be worried.” She then said to Fan Shixin, ”Shixin, you may go back and get some rest. I'll chat with your Young Sir.”
Fan Shixin nodded and said, ”Okay.”
After he exited, An Xiaoning pulled Jin Qingyan upstairs excitedly.
As soon as she closed the door, she leaped onto him and wrapped her legs around his waist. ”I didn't want you to drive all the way to look for me at night. That's why I told Shixin to keep it from you. Don't get angry.”
Jin Qingyan's initial displeasure vanished instantly.
He pulled her toward the bed and said, ”You're not to be so willful from now on. You can do your best, but you're not allowed to sacrifice yourself when solving cases.”
”I understand. That's why I must get enough rest before I can start working on the next case. The next case seems rather simple yet tricky at the same time. We already have sufficient evidence, but the police haven't dared to nab the culprit.”
Jin Qingyan asked in puzzlement, ”Why?”
”What other reason could there be? It's because of the culprit's powerful background.”
”If you were to intervene, wouldn't you be offending the culprit's entire family? Such culprits often have a powerful family behind them to back them up, just like Zong Jingyi's case. It's not that easy to punish the culprit even though there is concrete evidence.”
”We'll talk about it when the problem comes. I don't want to think about the case now. I'll only think about you. Although it's only been a few days and we even met once while I was there, I still missed you dearly. I feel like we're still in the honeymoon period of our relationship.”
”Is that so?” he asked gleefully.
”Yes.”
”I want to kiss you but I can't bring myself to.”
”Why?” An Xiaoning asked in puzzlement.
”Because you haven't rinsed your mouth or brushed your teeth after eating.”
An Xiaoning hollered, ”Jin Qingyan, how dare you scorn me!?!”
She then pinned Jin Qingyan onto the bed and began kissing him ferociously.
Being extremely germophobic, Jin Qingyan cringed in disgust.
An Xiaoning chuckled and stopped. ”Let's see if you dare to scorn me again.”
”I wouldn't dare to… if I do it again, what's going to happen if you decide to kiss me after eating poop? I'll probably faint.”
