Chapter 998: Chapter 996: Never Married in His Lifetime (2)

Xia Wan’an looked at her fair wrist, perplexed, and couldn’t immediately grasp what JO meant by his query, "What?"

JO ignored Xia Wan’an, instead grabbing her hand and intently examining the emerald-green bracelet on her wrist. After a long while, once he confirmed that the bracelet was indeed the one he had given her, he looked up at Xia Wan’an and asked, "Where did you get this bracelet?"

"It was... given to me by a fairy sister... Well, not really a sister, as she’s old enough to be my grandmother, but she likes me to call her sister... Her name is Wen Qing, and she has a sister named Wen Xin..." After answering JO’s question, Xia Wan’an furrowed her brows, puzzled, "Master, do you know the fairy grandmother?"

So, her name is Wen Qing. He never thought he’d one day learn her name... JO didn’t respond, just kept staring intently at the bracelet on Xia Wan’an’s wrist.

"Master? Master?"

Xia Wan’an called JO several times before he snapped back to reality. His words, however, didn’t address Xia Wan’an’s question but rather he asked something he wondered daily over the years, "Is she... doing well?"

"The fairy grandmother? She’s quite good... Master, what is your relationship with the fairy grandmother?"

JO seemed to have fallen into a deep contemplation again and didn’t reply.

In this world, there were many rumors about him, the most classic one being: In one lifetime, love only one person, have only one disciple.

Rumors are rumors because they often mix truth and fiction. For this saying, he actually has two disciples in his life, so "having only one disciple" is false, but "loving only one person" is true.

This bracelet was his only possession of value before he found wealth. He gave it to her knowing only that she was from the United Kingdom and nothing else, yet he had fallen madly in love with her... However, the story’s ending was somewhat regrettable; he ultimately couldn’t spend his life with her. Ever since parting ways, they never saw each other again, leaving him clueless about how she spent these many decades, but for her... he remained unmarried his entire life.

He thought that by the time he turned to dust, he would never hear of her again, but unexpectedly, in his old age, as his life neared its end, his favorite little disciple happened to meet her.

Could he possibly consider this the last mercy shown by heaven?

"Master!"

JO snapped out of his reverie again, he didn’t answer Xia Wan’an’s question but smiled at her, and then spoke in his usual playful tone, "My little An’an, I have something else to attend to, I’m off..."

After saying this, JO didn’t allow Xia Wan’an any opportunity to respond, and headed straight for the elevator.

Watching JO leave hurriedly, Xia Wan’an furrowed her brows and then, with a hint of confusion, looked down and examined the bracelet on her wrist.

After JO left, Xia Wan’an went to greet Mrs. Han briefly and chatted for a few moments before parting.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to talk; she truly couldn’t continue the conversation. Seeing Mrs. Han reminded Xia Wan’an of many things related to Han Jingnian... and then her whole person uncontrollably wanted to return to the desolate and distraught state of a few days previous.

After leaving Han Family Enterprises, Xia Wan’an went somewhere...
