Chapter 447 - Who's There?
Chapter 447: Who’s There?
This kind of disease should be genetic. However, science could not explain many genetic diseases. Perhaps one day, when medicine was really developed, they would discover the specific cause.
“Probably!” Yan Yuanfei let out a low sigh. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked lovingly in the woman’s direction, his eyes as gentle as water.
Yes!
According to the family’s records, this was the price to pay. To shoulder the fate of the world, they were cursed to only have one male per generation in the Yan Family. Every generation would die young.
He had seen his father die after suffering endless torment. His grandmother and mother had shed tears over his death.
Therefore, he did not want his lover to suffer the same torture. He did not want his son to experience such a thing.
There was only one way. He did not want to have a child. Before those old fellows pressured him to have a child, he would eliminate this possibility and end the Yan Family’s curse.
“Uncle, is she your wife? Are you married?” Ling Sheng was a little curious.
“No.” Yan Yuanfei smiled bitterly. As a member of the Yan Family, he enjoyed his rights but also suffered due to certain shackles.
The wife of a Yan male could only be the first daughter of the Dongfang Family. This had been the case for thousands of years. Legend had it that they were destined to love each other.
However, something had happened to him. He and Dongfang had not believed the legend, so when he had gone over to meet her, Dongfang had pushed him away as her best friend.
She had not expected the two of them to fall in love at first sight. In the end, he could not give her a proper status. The interests of various parties were complicated. Sometimes, even though one wanted something, one had to compromise.
Ling Sheng’s emotions were complicated, but she felt that he did not need anyone’s comfort. The person beside her gave her the feeling that he had been through the vicissitudes of life and was still passionate about the mortal world.
He was a person who loved life and respected it.
“Who’s there?” Nun Jingxin frowned slightly. She looked up and said in a gentle voice, “You’re a visitor. Come out!”
Ling Sheng had heard it, and Yan Yuanfei had vaguely heard it as well. Upon seeing the young lady get up, he realized that his legs might have gone numb from squatting for too long. He stood rooted to the ground for a while before limping over. He then put his palms together in embarrassment. “Nun Jingxin.”
D*mn!
How alert she was!
The duo had been hidden 10 meters away. The wind was really strong, yet they had been discovered.
If she had not been there, would the man have been discovered? Perhaps it would have been better if he had been discovered!
“Why are you hiding over there?” Upon seeing the young lady’s flushed face, Nun Jingxin passed her a cup of hot tea. “Warm up first.”
Ling Sheng thanked her hurriedly and sat down opposite her. She sighed, her eyes full of worry. She took a look at the steaming purple clay teapot, took a sip of tea, and sighed.
Nun Jingxin asked, “Did you encounter a problem? Tell me.”
The young lady had still been very happy while eating. Why had she suddenly become depressed? It made her feel uncomfortable.
“I quarreled with my boyfriend.” Ling Sheng let out a low cough and lied with a serious expression. She sniffled sadly. “He lied to me. Should I forgive him?”
“How did he lie to you?” Nun Jingxin poured her another cup of tea. Upon seeing her shiver in the cold, she put a cloak over her legs.
“He has lied to me more than once or twice. He keeps lying to me. This time, he clearly promised to come with me, but he didn’t come,” Ling Sheng said casually to see her attitude toward lying.
