Chapter 1199 - 1196: Cherish Those Before You (3)

"But staying in the same place for too long makes one’s thinking rigid."

"Nonsense, Newton never traveled far in his lifetime, yet he came up with Newton’s three laws. Many people wander far and wide but don’t achieve anything."

Wan Donglin chuckled softly, this time his voice was unexpectedly gentle: "Silly girl, don’t let fear stop you. In the future, no matter where we travel, we’ll take the family private jet, you can be assured, it’s completely safe..."

"That’s your family’s private jet, not mine."

"What is mine is yours, isn’t it?"

She snorted coldly.

He embraced her snugly, his forehead resting against hers: "Xixi, let’s not fight anymore, okay?"

"..."

"Think about it... We’ve been apart for so long and wasted so much time. If we keep this up, what will become of us? Consider it, marrying me has many benefits..."

"??"

"The first big benefit is someone always pays for you, right? A husband pays the bills, doesn’t he? The second big benefit: when you’re upset, you can sulk, fight, vent your anger on me and keep me restless, isn’t that nice? The third big benefit: we’ll soon have our own children, imagine how much fun that’ll be..."

She showed little interest: "If the child takes my last name, that might be fun... Otherwise, I suffer through labor just to benefit you..."

"..."

He laughed heartily: "If you agree to have seven or eight kids, I might allow one to voluntarily take your last name..."

She rolled her eyes.

Somehow, on such a spring day, during such a tranquil time, amidst illness and vulnerability... suddenly all defenses were dropped.

A small voice inside her heart told her: just go with it, go with it.

Life is so short; what’s the point in clinging to certain stubbornness?

It was a speech at the city’s most renowned university auditorium.

The speaker was eloquent, full of wit, and the audience was fully packed with applause like thunder.

Due to the large turnout, many were even standing outside in the hallway, listening.

It was because the fame of the female doctor was enormous.

Finally, the speech ended.

Dr. Fang’s car had been waiting for some time when Yan Xixi approached with perfect timing, showing great respect: "Dr. Fang, may I have a moment to talk with you?"

The female doctor recognized the unbelievably beautiful face and, even though she was a woman, she couldn’t refuse. Uncharacteristically, she agreed without asking the purpose.

In the afternoon, a warm breeze blew gently, and in the café, the music played softly.

The two sat in the quietest corner.

Yan Xixi smiled: "Dr. Fang, I’m very sorry to intrude like this, I hope I’m not inconveniencing you..."

"No need to be formal. Miss Yan, feel free to speak your mind if you have something to say."

Yan Xixi hesitated slightly but remained very sincere: "You may not know, but I was on the passenger list for that flight which had the aviation incident..."

Dr. Fang smiled: "No, I know. I felt a sense of loss at the time. So, I’m very happy to see you today."

Yan Xixi’s eyes lit up: "I learned there was a very famous biologist on that flight. I’ve inquired many times afterward, but couldn’t find any news..."

In her heart, what she really wanted to question was the whereabouts of Huang Xiaojue.
