Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Give Me a Monkey?

"You’re saying that the bead my mother brought back might be a treasure?"

Ning Mengyao looked at Lin Fan in astonishment.

"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 Mengyao’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 Mengyao 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 member 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 Mengyao’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 Mengyao’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 Mengyao 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 Mengyao, who was about to return to her room.

Since things had come to this point, it was time 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 me who wanted the divorce back then. Of course, if you now feel that this marriage is meaningless, I can agree to all your requests,"

Ning Mengyao paused, her expression involuntarily changed.

Although she had been pranking Lin Fan all this time,

when it came to discussing their relationship, and others,

she still felt somewhat flustered.

"Agree to all requests?"

Ning Mengyao’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 moment.

"Yes, I know that the initial marriage was something 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 Mengyao 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 Mengyao’s cheek.

"I...What I meant by agreeing... wasn’t that kind of agreeing... Can you be serious!"

Instantly interpreting Lin Fan’s expression, Ning Mengyao 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 Mengyao 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 Mengyao’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 medicine will work like a charm; within five attempts, success is assured!"

"You... want me to bear your child!"

Ning Mengyao’s expression turned very serious.

The light in her eyes left Lin Fan somewhat 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 Mengyao pushed Lin Fan away.

Her face became 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 women.

Why did talking about having children make her so irate?

"So, your meaning 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 Mengyao was so angered that her face turned pale.

The loss and anger in her eyes seemed 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 Mengyao 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 Mengyao 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 mentioned it."

Lin Fan hastily tried to pull Ning Mengyao closer to explain.

But she mercilessly shook off his hand.

After turning around and leaving the study, she went straight into the bedroom.

"Women... are truly incomprehensible!"

Lin Fan was quite vexed, unclear why Ning Mengyao 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 Mengyao 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 Mengyao as she raged on.

This was clearly home, yet she was trying to drive him away.

"Go wherever you want, have whoever you want bear your children, I certainly won’t!"

Ning Mengyao slammed 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 comes back, and you two are fighting?"

Before long, Ning Zhenyue and Ms. Li, having heard the quarreling, came over together.

Seeing her grandfather, Ning Mengyao 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 me to bear his child!"

Ning Mengyao’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?"
