She waited for him to respond but he didn't say much except to confirm what she knew that he would. And of course in the confirmation came the endless questions as to why he had one in his office and one in his home. She didn't know if she should tell him that Yi Long had one in his home and that that one had been acquired rather recently. She'd seen it because she had been there recently on a down spike. She wasn't perfect and she was drawn to her ex still on many levels despite knowing better. Four month ago while she was vulnerable she found herself at his front door asking to be let in and he let her in alright. She knew better but she was swirling from all the stress of her job was piling on top of her. She knew what she needed to do but actually doing it was harder. The worst part was the fact that no one in management wanted to be the person to do so. The lucky worker that needed to be terminated was the son of the CEO. Everyone swore that the person who fired him was next in line to be fired and Xiao Yu got the short end of the stick. The moment she handed the poor kid his severance package, she was staring down her own path of HR chaos. That night, the CEO fired her, turned around offered her a position if she would get down on her knees and suck his cock then let him fuck her. She walked out and never looked back, but she did find herself seeking solace in the bed of Yi Long. She just needed to feel something and he knew how to make her feel a lot of things. That night she noticed the glowing pearl after they had exhausted themselves. Yi Long passed out but she couldn't sleep. Even though he held her tight against his body and murmur words of love to her, she felt disgusting. And that's when she noticed it.<br/><br/><br/>"If he had has it with him why isn't it logged in the list of artifacts that were recovered from the dig site?" She wasn't actually asking Milo why Yi Long had the item, just talking out loud. Milo could chime in with his thoughts if he wanted too but she was still wondering if she should tell him about the second pearl or perhaps the replica. There was a possibility that there was more than one baolinzhu but now she was getting too far into the realm of fiction fantasy writing and mythical history without any logical proof of anything. "The one in the picture was found in 1939 and bought by his family in 1976. So this one is older which means that there is more than one. I like that probability better than the other which is someone devised fakes and buried them among the tombs, but now with all the experts and technology that we have at our disposal we can't spot a fake from the real thing." She sipped her tea and sighed heavily.<br/><br/><br/>"The other interesting thing that I found was that the wheelchair was deemed a hoaxed in 1992, by a team of American scientist that worked for NASA in conjunction with the top scientist from five countries in the UN and China. It was said to be an elaborate hoax made to attract foreign travelers to the place where it was said to be discovered. The wheelchair was actually found in a empty tomb belonging to the Zheng clan, Their lineage trances back to the Ming Dynasty where the line of hereditary survived through a daughter Zheng Lìlǐng (beautiful zither). It is writing that Zheng Lìlǐng a was a strange child, being a bit of a recluse, and a woman of few words. They say the wheelchair was hers and passed down from mother to daughter. There weird thing is that every three generation there would be a daughter that needed to use the wheelchair."<br/><br/><br/>She looked up at Milo with a pale look in on her face. "My mother's maiden name is Zheng and her little sister, my aunt is the a third generation and she needed a wheelchair....."
