Chapter 6 – Fear Of Being Pampered

Her mouth was tender like jelly, making it easy for others to become addicted to the sensation. Ji Nan Feng steadily placed the bowl on the coffee table next to him. Wrapping both his arms around Mo Li Xin to deepen the kiss.

The temperature within the room gradually increased. Ji Nan Feng almost lost his control, hence he reluctantly released her.

“Hu… hu…” Mo Li Xin took a much-needed breath. The impression of nearing suffocation just now was unpleasant.

“Xin’er, do you know who am I?” Ji Nan Feng asked observing her flushed face.

“You… you are… eh… a good-looking person! En, you’re Ah Feng!” Mo Li Xin slurred as she staggered and slumped onto the sofa.

“Ah Feng wants you to drink this medicine, I’ll be angry if you don’t. So will you drink it?” Ji Nan Feng suddenly thought of coaxing her to consume the concoction that way.

Mo Li Xin’s pretty brows wrinkled, “Ah Feng, don’t be angry. I’ll… I’ll drink it. Ah Feng… don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Ji Nan Feng felt his heart clenched. To her, he had always been the most important. Contrastingly, the way he treated her in the previous life, he must have been blinded.

Within the steamy bathroom, a woman was splashing around in the tub.

“En… I want to swim! Swim… swim… I’m swimming, swimming!”

Ji Nan Feng suppressed his beastly urges and patiently attempted to bathe her. It was not that he had never seen her body before. Previously on their wedding night, although he had hated her, he still took her fiercely.

Thinking about it now, there were emotions involved. It was him that tried to find excuses to keep her away.

After much hesitation, he ended up bathing her. As, after all, she was his wife. When he was done, he wiped her body dry, wrapped her in a bathrobe and carried her onto the bed.

Then, heading back into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came back out, Mo Li Xin was already asleep. However, the frown on her face showed that she was having an unpleasant dream.

He laid down beside her and drew her into his arms, but the unconscious Mo Li Xin displayed no sign of being disturbed or waking up.

Indeed, Mo Li Xin was having a nightmare. She dreamt that Ji Nan Feng abandoned her. He married Duan An Ran and drove her out of their house. But unexpectedly, the scene changed; Ji Nan Feng was embracing her, proclaiming that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

The night was long, unsure if Mo Li Xin was able to enter deep slumber due to the consumption of alcohol prior or because of the man embracing her. Her subsequent sleep was long and peaceful. And when she finally woke up, it was already dawn.

“Sss… it hurts,” Mo Li Xin slowly sat up, supporting her aching head. ‘Wasn’t I supposed to be at Man Man’s place yesterday? Why am I back home? Wait a minute, why does my head hurt so much? Oh yes, I drank… Man Man! How is she?’

There were countless questions circulating in Mo Li Xin’s mind. Yet, she sluggishly washed up and trudged downstairs.

‘What smells so good? Is there someone in the kitchen?’ Mo Li Xin pondered. ‘Did he hire a helper?’ as the thought occurred, she shook her head negatively.

Ji Nan Feng disliked strangers entering the house. After being married for so long, the only outsider that frequented their place was Duan An Ran. But then again, Ji Nan Feng might not have considered Duan An Ran as an outsider, Mo Li Xin smiled bitterly.

“You’re up, does your head still hurt? Come and have some porridge, you’ll feel better after having something. Give me a minute,” Ji Nan Feng’s voice transmitted from the kitchen.

Mo Li Xin froze at the stairs, wondering if she had misheard. How was it possible that Ji Nan Feng was in the kitchen?

“Do you prefer your eggs to be sunny side up or over easy?” Ji Nan Feng poked his head out of the kitchen and asked. His scorching gaze did not leave her.

“Over… over easy,” Mo Li Xin announced, she could not help but feel nervous.

She had heard it correctly, Ji Nan Feng was in the kitchen. Unbelievingly, he was preparing their breakfast, and he even asked how she liked her eggs to be done. Mo Li Xin’s heart was overflowing with sweetness, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Yes, he lost his memory and could not remember what happened in the past. Although there was a reason why he was being nice to her, she was still very delighted. It would be nice if things remained that way.

“Why aren’t you down yet?” Ji Nan Feng carried two plates of eggs as he exited the kitchen.

“Coming,” She replied as she quickly descended from the wooden stairs.

Watching her dash over in her fluffy slippers, she did not look balanced. Ji Nan Feng knitted his brows, worried that she would fall, “Be careful, don’t rush over.”

By the time he finished his words, Mo Li Xin had already reached in front of him.

Due to inertia, she was unable to stop in time hence, she came too close to his person. She hurriedly stumbled back a couple of steps before slipping into the kitchen, “Is there anything else? I’ll bring it out”

Just as she was about to reach for the earthenware pot of porridge, Ji Nan Feng blocked her, “Let me do it, it’s hot”

Mo Li Xin did not dare to refute him, so she embarrassedly withdrew her hands that were stretched out towards the pot.

Ji Nan Feng, satisfied with her reaction, picked up the dishcloth next to him and wrapped it around the pot’s handles before carrying it out.

Mo Li Xin sat at her seat, using a small spoon she mechanically scoped porridge into her mouth. She was apprehensive to make sudden unnecessary movements or voice out unneeded words.

“You don’t have to be so afraid of me. I truly have forgotten about the past. Yesterday, I managed to ask grandpa, he roughly told me what happened. So don’t worry.

“I’m sure those things have nothing to do with you, I might have misunderstood the situation previously. Let me investigate what had really occurred.”

Ji Nan Feng tried to appease her as he watched her timid and cautious behaviour. Mo Li Xin slowly raised her head, and by coincidence, their eyes met.

Originally, Mo Li Xin was scared. However, meeting his warm gaze, she felt her courage increase.

“Really?” she probed warily.

“En. Otherwise, I won’t have gotten up so early to make porridge for you.” Ji Nan Feng could only assure her helplessly. He understood that even though she liked him she was still guarded. It was an instinctive reaction as a form of self-protection, an unconscious response to defend oneself from harm.

Mo Li Xin was slightly dazed as she buried her head and continued to drink the bowl of porridge.

Ji Nan Feng felt relieved when he detected her unconcealed smile as she lowered her head.

“Oh, yes, were you the one that picked me up yesterday? What about Man Man?” Mo Li Xin promptly questioned as she remembered.

“I have gotten someone to send her to a hotel. The both of you were so drunk yesterday and I didn’t know where she lived.”

“Oh!” Mo Li Xin was finally reassured.

“When are you going to work?” She continued questioning.

Ji Nan Feng obtained a postdoctoral position at a young age. Besides being well-versed in geology and history which he studied, he was also knowledgeable in other aspects. Among his peers, he was known to be a very accomplished man, even outshining his elder brother who was much older than him. He differed from many and had the makings of becoming a shrewd businessman, having strong business acumen. The only reason why he had no position in the family business was only due to his lack of interest in that field; he loathed the deception and dog eat dog notion of the business world.

Hence he chose to hold a simple job. Currently, he was a Ph. D. advisor at Jiang Bei University. A position that was one up a professor and just below the principal.

“I can continue anytime. I’ve instructed the chauffeur to take you to Jiu Zi tomorrow,” Ji Nan Feng informed Mo Li Xin.

“Jiu Zi?”

She was certain that it was a wedding dress design firm that established itself this year. Although its scale was not very large, as long as Jiu Zi introduced a new product, it was guaranteed to be of high quality. Within the wedding dress design industry, it was extremely rare to find a customized wedding dress. Even though their dresses were made-to-order, the release dates were periodic with only ten to twenty sets displayed every round. It was probably due to this gimmick that led to Jiu Zi’s popularity.

“Yes, Gong Yue is the boss,” Ji Nan Feng clarified.

‘Ah, so that was the case,’ Mo Li Xin reflected, turned out he did not forget his agreement to allow her to look for a job yesterday. On top of that, she might be able to work at Gong Yue’s company.

She was ecstatic but was hesitant to express it outwardly in fear that it would accidentally upset Ji Nan Feng. Which would result in her not being able to step out again.

Ji Nan Feng noticed that even when she was over the moon, she still pretended that was nothing. She kept her façade with no signs of cracking.

“Do you have anything planned for the afternoon? If not, I can accompany you out,” Ji Nan Feng asked.

Coincidentally, Mo Li Xin just finished her last sip of porridge.

When she heard his words, she felt a little embarrassed and was unsure to know how to reply. Originally, she had planned to wait for Ji Nan Feng to leave before she headed out to find Man Man. After all, Man Man was not in a good mental space right now. Howeve-

“Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have something on in the afternoon. It seems that I wouldn’t be able to accompany you,” Ji Nan Feng noticed her dilemma and was able to guess the reason.

“Okay!” Mo Li Xin hasty reply betrayed her; even she felt that it was too inconceivable and could not help but to blush. How she wished that she could bury herself under the table.

‘Ah! Can I be any more obvious? He must have been able to tell what I was thinking.’ Mo Li Xin scolded herself a thousand times over in that short few seconds, this mouth of hers, it creates trouble for oneself.

“Don’t worry about the bowls and chopsticks, just leave them there. I’ve hired an auntie to help out around the house. In the future, you don’t have to do the chores yourself. Just leave them to the auntie.

“And this is my secondary card, you can use it to buy anything you want.” Ji Nan Feng said as he presented her his credit card.

Mo Li Xin was overwhelmed by his affections. The sudden gentleness that Ji Nan Feng displayed in the past couple of days made her disconcerted. Even when she knew the reason for his sudden tenderness.

However, she felt the discrepancy as even before they were married, and before so many issues popped out; he had not been so considerate of her. This was too frightening.

Ji Nan Feng, “…”

“There is nothing that… I want to buy. Even if I want to purchase something, I… have money.” Mo Li Xin weakly muttered with her head lowered.

She indeed had her own funds. Before she married Ji Nan Feng, her grandfather gave her a sum of money. Furthermore, Grandpa Ji and Mother Ji regularly gave her allowances, even if Ji Nan Feng never gave her a penny. The sum within the card was never touched since she married, hence, even she did not know how much was inside there.
