The more perfect and flawless it was, the more suspicious Ling Mo Han became of what Fan Shun was hiding.
"I believe you can definitely find out. That little nobody Fan Shun can't even compare to a single toe of yours..."
Feng Jin couldn't praise Ling Mo Han enough, using all the complimentary words she could think of, for fear of not praising him enough.
"I never thought my wife held me in such high regard. Your husband is truly touched!"
Although he knew Feng Jin's words were just casual remarks, hearing them made Ling Mo Han's entire body feel comfortable.
If anyone else had said it, he would have immediately packed them up and thrown them out. But coming from Feng Jin, Ling Mo Han found these words exceptionally pleasing to the ear, and he could never get enough of them.
"If you like to hear it, I'll say it to you every day!"
Ling Mo Han's lips curved into a smile as he lowered his head and captured the woman's lips, savoring them.
It was only after a quarter of an hour that Ling Mo Han released the woman's lips.
With a gap to breathe, Feng Jin gasped for air. She had almost been suffocated by his kiss.
"Silly girl, how long has it been and you still haven't learned to breathe with your mouth?"
Ling Mo Han's teasing voice echoed as he tightened his embrace around Feng Jin.
"Can't you be gentler? You're squeezing me so hard I can barely breathe!"
Ling Mo Han immediately lightened his grip, his gaze sweeping over Feng Jin's entire body. Her small frame made him feel that if he applied any more force, he could crush her bones.
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Jin's eyes flickered open as she saw Ling Mo Han lost in thought.
"I was thinking, if I just used a little more force, would I be able to crush your bones?"
Ling Mo Han stated his thoughts in a calm tone, even gesturing towards Feng Jin's neck with his hand.
Feng Jin involuntarily shivered, then forcefully slapped away the hand that Ling Mo Han had placed on her neck, and quickly retreated a step, watching him with a wary eye.
"You pervert! Take those filthy thoughts out of your head and stop thinking about abusing me all day!"
She felt like she was in danger now, her safety threatened at any moment.
Especially the way Ling Mo Han was looking at her now, it was too strange and sent chills down her spine.
"I do want to try..."
"Get lost!"
Feng Jin yelled angrily, restraining the urge to kick him. "You sadist, get lost, the further the better."
As Feng Jin was about to leave, Ling Mo Han suddenly grabbed her hand, pulled her into his embrace, and whispered something in her fair earlobe.
Instantly, Feng Jin's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed. She stood up abruptly, pushed Ling Mo Han away, and stammered, "You... you... stay away from me from now on, and... and stop thinking those filthy thoughts. I warn you, what you're thinking will never happen!"
A ball of anger seemed to be brewing in Feng Jin's chest. She truly hadn't expected Ling Mo Han to say such things. He was simply... simply a pervert, a damn pervert.
"You can continue to blow your cold wind out here. I'm going back to sleep!"
Having said that, Feng Jin turned and left without looking back. As she stepped out of the pavilion, her steps faltered. She turned to look back at Ling Mo Han. "Also, you are not allowed to sleep in my room for the next two days. Stay away from me!"
She felt Ling Mo Han was too dangerous now and needed to keep her distance. Only when he managed to dispel those filthy thoughts would she allow him into her room.
"Feng Jin, let's talk about this properly."
Ling Mo Han realized things were not developing as he had envisioned and quickly got up to walk towards Feng Jin.
'Bang!'
He was still a step too late. By the time he reached her, the door had been heavily slammed shut from the inside by Feng Jin, leaving him to face a closed door.
He tentatively peered at the door for a few moments. The only response he received was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Ling Mo Han, worried about waking the child, had no choice but to give up. "I'll find another room to make do for the night. You should sleep early."
After his words landed, there was no response for a long time. He could only leave dejectedly.
Inside the room, Feng Jin heard the footsteps outside gradually fade away. Only then did she confirm that Ling Mo Han had left and let out a sigh of relief.
However, Ling Mo Han's words kept echoing in her mind, and the blush crept uncontrollably onto her face. Feng Jin's expression was filled with embarrassment. She shook her head violently, constantly telling herself to forget these things.
But the more she tried to forget, the more deeply she remembered and the more she thought of them.
After a long internal struggle, Feng Jin still couldn't control her thoughts. It was late, and it seemed she was destined to be sleepless tonight.
But... what was this hint of anticipation that sprang up in her heart? When did her thoughts become so filthy?
Feng Jin gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, forcing herself to calm down and stop overthinking. She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. As long as she fell asleep, she wouldn't think of anything.
...
The next morning, Feng Jin looked at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror, looking like a giant panda. It was all thanks to Ling Mo Han that she had been sleepless all night.
"Young Madam, what's wrong with your eyes? Who hit you?"
Cai Qing put down the basin she was holding and picked up the comb to style Feng Jin's hair. When she caught sight of the dark circles under her eyes, her voice rose with surprise.
"I had insomnia last night and couldn't sleep well. Please help me with my hair. Just a simple style will do."
After Cai Qing finished styling her hair, Feng Jin used a generous amount of foundation and concealer to cover up the dark circles.
It wasn't that she was bragging, but her self-developed cosmetics were indeed good. This concealer alone was her masterpiece. When she returned to the capital, she would definitely launch it as a new product for Yu Yan Fang, and it would surely be a bestseller.
"Young Madam, what is this? With just a dab, the dark circles under your eyes disappear. It's too magical."
It was more amazing than a disguise technique. She saw her young madam gently dab this white substance, and the dark circles vanished. It was too magical, as if she possessed magical powers.
"This is concealer. It can cover up any blemishes and spots on our faces. Let me try it on you."
"It really disappeared!" Cai Qing looked at herself in the mirror, full of surprise. It was too amazing, it was completely gone.
"I'll give this bottle to you. I'll get you more after you've used it up."
All she had left was these cosmetics. Cosmetics had become Feng Jin's go-to gift for holidays, and they were always well-received. It not only fostered goodwill but also boosted Yu Yan Fang's business, killing two birds with one stone.
