"You’re saying that the bead my mother brought back might be a treasure?"
Ning ngyao looked at Lin Fan in astonishnt.
"Exactly, and it might not just be any treasure, so I need to use it right now,"
Lin Fan nodded.
Although he hadn’t seen the final form of the Wind Stabilizing Pearl,
the glow it emitted, and the one from the bead previously hidden by Ning ngyao’s mother, had a remarkably similar magic to them.
So, it definitely was the best substitute.
"But that’s the only clue to finding my birth mother. If you take it away... how will we continue the investigation about my mother?"
Ning ngyao pursed her lips; she wasn’t a stingy person.
But that bead was the only clue she had to her birth mother.
To this day, her mother’s death remained a mystery.
If the bead got damaged in any way, she genuinely wouldn’t know what to do.
"I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to bring the bead back intact, but I promise you, after these busy days are over, I’ll start helping you look into your mother’s case. And right now, the clues aren’t just this bead; Wang Hu from the provincial city is also a lead. As a mber of an assassins’ group that has been targeting you, I believe we can definitely unearth the information you need from there,"
Lin Fan looked straight into Ning ngyao’s eyes.
He could naturally empathize with the mystery surrounding her lineage.
Being born into this world, who wouldn’t want to know their parents?
Especially since Ning ngyao’s mother’s death was shrouded in mystery.
Adding to that the Treasure Bead only made the enigma even more perplexing.
"Alright, I’ll go get it for you!"
After much consideration, Ning ngyao still got up.
She believed that Lin Fan wouldn’t use the Treasure Bead unless absolutely necessary.
"Should we talk about Yang Linglong?"
Lin Fan reached out and grabbed Ning ngyao, who was about to return to her room.
Since things had co to this point, it was ti to lay everything on the table.
"There’s nothing much to talk about. I know you’re in a difficult position. After all, it was who wanted the divorce back then. Of course, if you now feel that this marriage is aningless, I can agree to all your requests,"
Ning ngyao paused, her expression involuntarily changed.
Although she had been pranking Lin Fan all this ti,
when it ca to discussing their relationship, and others,
she still felt sowhat flustered.
"Agree to all requests?"
Ning ngyao’s bashfulness really exceeded Lin Fan’s expectations.
He had thought she would be angry, or even furious.
But it didn’t seem that was the case at the mont.
"Yes, I know that the initial marriage was sothing you agreed to under duress just for the sake of that knife. So if you are unwilling, I will certainly not insist on occupying the position of your wife. It’s unfair to everyone, and besides, both Linglong and Feifei are more suitable to be your wife than I am,"
Ning ngyao bit her lower lip.
The marriage talk initially had been forced on Lin Fan.
If he had second thoughts, it would have been quite normal.
"But just now, you didn’t say that. You said you would agree to whatever I asked,"
Lin Fan cheekily pinched Ning ngyao’s cheek.
"I...What I ant by agreeing... wasn’t that kind of agreeing... Can you be serious!"
Instantly interpreting Lin Fan’s expression, Ning ngyao quickly pushed him away, her face turning red.
"Since when does one have to be serious with their own wife? That would be genuinely pretentious,"
Lin Fan, of course, wouldn’t let Ning ngyao escape, directly pulling her back into his embrace.
"We’ve been married for so long, shouldn’t we be doing what needs to be done? I’ve prepared a few prescriptions for you. How about we build a good foundation first?"
"Build a foundation? What kind of foundation?"
Ning ngyao’s face suddenly changed, staring intently at Lin Fan.
"You’ve forgotten that Grandpa has always looked forward to holding his great-grandson, and now that such a good opportunity has arisen, don’t you want to consider it? I guarantee my fetus-preserving dicine will work like a charm; within five attempts, success is assured!"
"You... want to bear your child!"
Ning ngyao’s expression turned very serious.
The light in her eyes left Lin Fan sowhat puzzled.
He couldn’t tell whether she was happy or shocked.
"What’s the problem with a husband wanting his own wife to bear a child?"
"Don’t you think there is a problem?"
Suddenly, Ning ngyao pushed Lin Fan away.
Her face beca exceptionally serious, an obvious sign that she was angry.
"What’s the problem with that?"
Lin Fan couldn’t figure it out; he knew she didn’t get angry about his having other won.
Why did talking about having children make her so irate?
"So, your aning is that by marrying you, I’m obliged to bear your children, right? Are you saying... my value now is just to have children, is that it?"
Ning ngyao was so angered that her face turned pale.
The loss and anger in her eyes seed like she had suffered a great injustice.
"Isn’t this what Grandpa hopes for as well? Didn’t you say before that you agreed?"
Lin Fan truly couldn’t comprehend why Ning ngyao was so furious.
"Why should I live according to what others expect... You’re not the only one in my life... Why should I be the only one to bear children... Do you really think I’m worthless, that aside from having children I’m good for nothing, right?"
Ning ngyao glared at Lin Fan with rage.
"No... what does this have to do with being worthless... I’m just seeking your opinion... If you don’t want to, then forget I ever ntioned it."
Lin Fan hastily tried to pull Ning ngyao closer to explain.
But she rcilessly shook off his hand.
After turning around and leaving the study, she went straight into the bedroom.
"Won... are truly incomprehensible!"
Lin Fan was quite vexed, unclear why Ning ngyao was so angry.
Just as he left the study, intending to go to the bedroom to coax her, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Ning ngyao thrust the box she was holding directly into his hands.
"Here’s what you want, you can leave now!"
"Leave for where?"
Lin Fan looked helplessly at Ning ngyao as she raged on.
This was clearly ho, yet she was trying to drive him away.
"Go wherever you want, have whoever you want bear your children, I certainly won’t!"
Ning ngyao slamd the bedroom door shut.
Leaning against the door, she let her tears flow from her feelings of injustice.
No matter how Lin Fan knocked on the door from outside, she completely ignored him.
In the end, Lin Fan could only sigh and step out of the courtyard.
"What’s going on? Lin Fan rarely cos back, and you two are fighting?"
Before long, Ning Zhenyue and Ms. Li, having heard the quarreling, ca over together.
Seeing her grandfather, Ning ngyao tried to wipe away her pathetic tears.
But her pitiable appearance made Ning Zhenyue feel especially distressed.
"Granddaughter, tell Grandpa, how has Lin Fan wronged you? If it’s serious, I’ll have a word with him."
"Grandpa... he... he... asked to bear his child!"
Ning ngyao’s grievous words left Ning Zhenyue stunned as well.
He looked at Ms. Li to confirm he hadn’t misheard.
"He’s your husband, asking you to bear a child... where’s the fault in that?"
