Ji Nan Feng really wanted to put his hands on her, but when he saw her ignorant state, he was unable to. Ever since he returned from the hospital, he had been sleeping on the sofa every night. He had no choice, he could not change so drastically in such a short period of time. Furthermore, he could feel Mo Li Xin’s resistance.
Yet tonight, he felt more reluctant to leave. Hence without too much conflict, he dried his hair and climbed into bed with her. He gathered Mo Li Xin into his embrace and rested his chin on top of her head. The faint fragrance from her recently washed and dried hair wafted into his nose. The scent was comforting and his grip unconsciously tightened around her.
“Hmm… Hot…” Mo Li Xin felt like she was about to be stifled awake.
Ji Nan Feng loosen his hold slightly upon hearing her words. He shifted downwards to be face to face with her. He studied her beautiful face for a long time. Under the faint night glow, he could clearly see her pinkish pouting lips. He unwittingly drew closer and kissed her. The first few kisses were gentle, subsequently, it got rougher as he lost control. In the end, Mo Li Xin was tossed under the duvet and ‘violently shaken’ awake by him.
In actuality, he did not do much; just the places that he could touch and places that he should not have, have all been pawed at by him. His technique was also somewhat stimulating…
One moment, Mo Li Xin felt that she was floating amongst the clouds. The next, she was drifting out at sea. The overall sensation was like a dream, and it was not uncomfortable. On the contrary, this dream was very rousing and she did not dislike the feeling at all.
Ji Nan Feng grew more courageous when he saw that she did not resist his advances. The ever ignorant Mo Li Xin was unaware of the ‘bullying’ she was about to be subjected to.
It was not until the latter half of the night that Ji Nan Feng was finally fully satiated. He leisurely carried the physically drained and dazed Mo Li Xin to take another shower before returning to bed. And there they stayed, till the dawn of the next day.

‘Ji Nan Feng, I hope you’ll always remain like this.’
“No, at least not now. I’m still on probation for the next half a year. This period, I don’t wish to commit to other things before my probation finishes,” Mo Li Xin said.
To her, this was not just a job; it was her dream. She had given it up once before, she did not want to let go of it the second time. She enjoyed designing wedding dresses. She liked that her dresses could witness other people’s most important and most beautiful day of their lives. Her wedding dresses were like her blessing to the nearly wedded couples.
Ji Nan Feng froze for a while before compromising, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Besides you, nothing else matters.”
Ji Nan Feng was still hugging her from the back. As long as she stayed by his side, he would cater to her every whim. Whether it was to reach for the stars above or to dive into the deep ocean below, as long as she wished for it, he would not hesitate to get it for her. The bright sun could not compare to the radiance of one of her smiles.
In the end, Mo Li Xin went to work in the afternoon. As it was Saturday, he had nothing else planned for the rest of the day. So after he dropped Mo Li Xin at Jiu Zi, he went to AK Club.
“I say, Third Brother, why are you here? It’s a perfectly good Saturday, why did you come to my humble abode instead of spending it with your girl?” Gan Yun Ting quipped. Today was one of the rare days that he wore plain clothes, dressed in complete black casual wear.
“There is something suspicious regarding my father’s death. You recognize more people in that field, help me investigate it.” The words that left his mouth was like a bullet shot out from a gun and it hit the heart of the issue. Yet, neither of them reacted differently, it could be seen that this was a common occurrence among them.
“It is fishy. But wasn’t Uncle Ji’s cause of death already determined? Wasn’t it Cheng Xiang Yi’s doing?” Gan Yun Ting asked. Although until now, the police could not find any evidence.
“Everyone is a possibility. But it’s definitely not her, she is Li Xin’s mother,” Ji Nan Feng calmly stated.
“What?! She’s actually sister-in-law’s mother? But you two… Was that why you didn’t introduce sister-in-law to us before now? If so, then why now…”
“Previously I was muddled. Now that I’m more rational, I understand that it’s not connected to her mother. As for how to go about investigating, you can start from Duan An Ran. She may know something about it. If you found anything, you can inform me or Elder Brother. He is also investigating from his end. It might be linked to the drug trafficking cases that occurred in the last two years.” Ji Nan Feng said.
“That’s serious. But how is Duan An Ran involved in this? Isn’t she just your old flame?” Gan Yun Ting candidly stated. It was only after the words left his mouth that he realized he said the wrong things.
Not surprisingly, Ji Nan Feng glared at him. Gan Yun Ting shivered as he felt the air around him dropped a couple of degrees.
“Third… Third Brother, I feel that recently you all have changed. Especially you and Second Brother. Previously you two were refined and elegant. However, now it seems that you two are more hostile and vicious like Eldest Brother,” Gan Yun Ting complained.
Did he change? Indeed, he had. If he remained the same as per his last life, then would he not end up like his previous life? His wife and child passed away, and he was completely alone in the world.
As for his Second Brother’s change, it was not that he did not notice. But as of now, he was unable to put his finger on it. It never crossed his mind that his second brother was reborn like him. After all, being reborn was not something that occurred as commonly as buying cabbages from the market.
“Change represents progress” Ji Nan Feng faintly replied with three words. Like his previous words, it was accurate and blunt, fired out without hesitation.

On the other hand, Mo Li Xin and Cheng Si Hao were seated at a desk. Their expressions were solemn, but it contained hints of excitement that could not be hidden.
“So, regarding this Bai Sha Exhibition. In our region, only two people’s designs would be selected?” Mo Li Xin asked incredulously.
“En, it’s exactly because of this. We must secure a win for our company. In the future, it will pave the way for our company’s designers. Additionally, it would boost the firm’s reputation and there are many more long-term benefits.” Cheng Si Hao explained.
“Then why are you telling me this?” To put it bluntly, she was just a newcomer. It was impossible for the company to let her participate in such a tremendous role. Could it be Gong Yue’s instructions?
“It’s not just you. The other four who recently joined the company will also be participating. This is equivalent to a test given to you all by the firm. Although company’s progression is important, they value cultivating our talents more. This is our firm’s belief. Moreover, everyone that joined the company will have to take part in these types of competitions.” Cheng Si Hao continued.
“Oh, so that’s the case. But is the company not afraid that the talents that they groomed would leave and join greener pastures?”
“Then such people will not be considered as talents. The moral character of a person also plays a part in whether they could rise above the rest.”
“I see, then how should I proceed?” Mo Li Xin, who was new in the industry, was unfamiliar with the procedures.
“Bai Sha Exhibition is an expo for wedding dresses and it occurs once every three years. This international exhibition is for displaying the best designs of emerging designers. There will only be a hundred dresses presented. At most, a designer will only be able to display two wedding dresses.
“But as of now, you don’t need to think so much. You’re firstly competing in the preliminaries. During the preliminaries, one thousand sets of wedding dresses will be accepted. Of which, a hundred will be selected and ranked accordingly to which will be their display ranking order. Most designers would only have one of their designs chosen.
“Despite that, it’s not impossible that a brilliant designer will have two sets selected. However, this probability is extremely minuscule. Bai Sha Exhibition had been held for ten sessions so far, yet there were no more than five who had two sets displayed in the expo. Those people are now the leading figures in the industry.
“Your participation will not only hone your skills, but it’s also good for the company’s growth.” Cheng Si Hao pointed out.
“Oh, so what I have to do now is to design two sets of wedding dresses?” Mo Li Xin asked.
“By right, that will be the case. But there are limited slots within our company, so only one person can participate in the competition. We will screen through all applicants before selecting one to represent the company. The deadline is two weeks from now. Time is tight, will you be able to make it?”
“Hmm… There should not be an issue.”
“And one more thing, if your designs were selected to participate in the Bai Sha Exhibition, you will be directly promoted to Design Director. And your probation period will end.”
“Ah!” Mo Li Xin was floored. To become a design director, it was not only a high position, but one could also get five percent of the company’s shares. This was no small amount.
“Do your best! When you get promoted in the future, remember your Brother Cheng. Don’t forget your friends when you become rich,” Cheng Si Hao teased.
Mo Li Xin smiled, “Then hopefully it will be as Brother Cheng said, may the path be smooth sailing and there are no obstacles in the way.”
Just as Mo Li Xin exited the conference room, she came across two other coworkers that joined the firm at the same time as she did. The woman was Mao Hong and the man was Ryan. Both were about thirty years old, they were not new in this industry, only new in the company.
“Little Li Xin, did Brother Cheng brief you on the competition already? From this moment forth, we’re competitors. Don’t expect me to show mercy to you due to your young age!” Ryan might not be from Country A as he spoke with an accent, but Mo Li Xin was able to understand him.
“Ryan, Little Li Xin might be young, but don’t underestimate her ability. Who knows? We might have been shot without knowing how we died then!” Mao Hong joked, there was no malicious intention behind her words
I love how light and non-toxic (so far) the office environment is. She deserves all the best huhuhu
