I narrowed my eyes when I saw Black Emperor's expression change so drastically.
This big black dog clearly didn't want my grandpa to know about this!
And he looked a little guilty, like a thief with a guilty conscience. Did my grandpa really hope that I could get married and have children, or had this big black dog come up with it himself? Was he acting on his own?
Could the claim that my grandpa had, at most, three years left to live have been fabricated by Black Emperor?
No, it didn't look like that was the case.
But the matter of having children was worth considering carefully.
"Black Emperor, didn't you say my grandpa wanted me to carry on the family line? Why can't we tell him?"
I spoke as I drove.
Black Emperor only winked and pulled faces. "It's not that we can't tell him. It's mainly that your grandpa keeps it in his heart and doesn't want to say it, so I came to talk to you alone. Just listen to your Uncle Emperor. Find a female—no, a woman—and have a child. Don't bother with all that dating and falling in love. Just have one..."
My face was full of embarrassment. Black Emperor seemed awfully obsessed with having children!
But we humans had feelings. Only when our values aligned and we were mutually attracted could we cherish one another.
We weren't animals who pounced on any member of the opposite sex we saw...
"Black Emperor, let's put the child issue aside for now. My girlfriend and I don't have any plans for that at the moment!"
"Oh, come on, little Ningzi. What is there to plan? I know you humans don't like having children. How about this? Bring your girlfriend over someday, and I'll talk to her.
