Chapter 1817: Chapter 1851: Empress Dowager, Let’s Share a Kiss

Soon, Shuobude walked out slowly from the secret room, his steps heavy. He held a bloodstained cloth in his hand, which was for wiping his hands.

Lin Zifeng and Jia Zhenjing leaned against the wall outside the secret room and saw Shuobude coming out.

They didn’t say a word. Lin Zifeng stepped forward, patted Shuobude on the shoulder, then turned and entered the secret room, looking at the corpse of Hai Zhilan lying quietly on the ground, he showed no expression and said nothing.

Hai Zhilan’s fate was in his hands, but he ended up like this mostly because of his own choices. Therefore, Lin Zifeng felt no guilt.

"The path is your own choice, growth requires paying the price!" Lin Zifeng said lightly, throwing the cigarette butt in his mouth onto Hai Zhilan’s corpse, then walked away coldly.

The successful rescue of Shuobude was entirely thanks to the handsome guy and his extraordinary sense of smell.

As soon as they entered the Hai Family’s residence, he had already detected Shuobude’s scent. Finding him naturally became much easier.

That night, the death of the Hai Family Head, Hai Zhilan, caused an immediate uproar within the Hai Family. The entire Hai Family residence fell into chaos.

Everyone started discussing Hai Zhilan’s death. In their hearts, they all knew it was the work of the South Heavenly Gate.

By now, almost everyone in the Hai Family who commanded respect had died.

It wasn’t until the next day when South Heavenly Gate’s people arrived at the Hai Family that the residence completely changed.

After Huo Zhengfeng led his people into the Hai Family residence, the elders of the Hai Family finally realized that Hai Zhilan wanted to resist South Heavenly Gate to avoid becoming their puppet!

But now it’s almost too late to say anything, as Huo Zhengfeng has taken over the Hai Family residence. Including their largest auction house in Yanjing, which was merged into the South Heavenly Gate!

The actions of the South Heavenly Gate shook the entire Yanjing, Zhonghai, Jiangzhou... But who could stop what the South Heavenly Gate aimed to do now?

......

On the third day, Lin Zifeng drove Nangong Bing to the hospital for a fetal examination, and after obtaining the examination report, Lin Zifeng took her to a very tranquil little countryside in Yanjing...

To be honest, since Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing had known each other for so long, he had never really taken his wife out for a relaxing time.

Even when Lin Zifeng offered to take her out to the countryside today for some fresh air, it made Nangong Bing quite suspicious.

"What’s wrong? You’ve been staring at my face for so long, is there a flower on it?" Lin Zifeng asked, grinning cheekily at her.

Being stared at so closely for such a long time made him feel a bit tingling all over...

"Ahem... Mr. Lin. How long have we known each other?"

Nangong Bingshui’s moist face showed a hint of playful smile as she suddenly asked that.

"Why are you suddenly asking this question?" Lin Zifeng shrugged, shaking his head helplessly. Women, always asking some strange questions, is quite normal.

"Be honest and straightforward with me. How long have we known each other already?"

Nangong Bing’s eyes sparkled as if she wouldn’t relent until Lin Zifeng answered her.

"It should be about half a year by now." Lin Zifeng answered casually.

In truth, if he counted the days, he really didn’t know exactly how long he and Nangong Bing had been together. But roughly calculating, it really was half a year.

"Nonsense! I want an exact time. You’re brushing me off like this. Aren’t you valuing our relationship?"

Nangong Bing rolled her eyes, looking at him with feigned annoyance.

"Hehe, it’s just that I haven’t counted the days. Besides, when we first met, it was during a rather cold season, likely around March or April."

"..."

Nangong Bing was speechless. It seemed like he hadn’t remembered the day they met at all, completely forgetting it.

"Can you organize your thoughts and think about it again?" Seeing his clueless demeanor, Nangong Bing’s ire was hard to quell.

This guy just didn’t pay attention to detail.

"Okay, my dear. Aren’t we together now? You see, don’t start finding fault with me now. If I really calculate the time, I honestly don’t know how long it’s been."

"Alright. I’ll let it go this time. But let me ask you, after knowing each other for so long, why do you suddenly have the rare interest to take me out for a walk today? Previously when I took you out, you were too lazy to go, always using ’busy’ as an excuse. Aren’t you busy this time?" Nangong Bing asked with her neck raised arrogantly, her posture akin to a proud little swan.

"Hehe, I was thinking that I haven’t taken my wife out for fun and relaxation for so long, I felt a bit guilty. Besides, we’ve known each other for so long. Even if I don’t care for the big one, I have to care for our little one at home."

Lin Zifeng appeared servile, ready to comply with any request.

"Tch~ Big one, little one. Aren’t you just thinking about it? You haven’t even thought about me." Nangong Bing’s face flushed slightly, as she turned and gently patted her stomach. It was a mix of joy and shy pride.

"Haha~ The little one is certainly important, but the big one is just as important." He laughed, reaching out to hug Nangong Bing, but she cleverly twisted her body and slipped out of his embrace.

"Lin Zifeng, if I let you hug me so easily, wouldn’t that be too easy for you?"

Thinking of the many women in the villa who had ambiguous relationships with him, although she was generous, she wasn’t so generous as to share her man with others.

She felt conflicted now; on one hand, there were so many women debts in the villa. She didn’t know how to face it, even though everyone together didn’t really discuss emotions, Nangong Bing knew well.

For instance, Mu Yang, Zhang Xixi, Phantom, and Tangtang Huahua most of them followed Lin Zifeng all the way.

Their acquaintance time was even no less than hers.

For example, Zhang Xixi and Mu Yang knew Lin Zifeng no less than she did. The time spent together was long too.

If you count who was first, Phantom was ahead of her in line.

"I’m going!~ My love, hugging, and giving a little kiss to feel what it’s like to have a little romance. Don’t make it such a difficult task!~"

Lin Zifeng looked at her, her face full of pride and rosiness, with a look of bitterness.

It had been so long since they had been affectionate; he really missed it.

"Hey hey, Mr. Lin, after saying a few words, you jump right into being a rascal." Nangong Bing rolled her eyes, giving him a sidelong glance.

"Come on! What was vulgar? Just a little kiss; how was that vulgar?" Lin Zifeng was filled with dark lines in his mind. Saying he’s being vulgar, wasn’t it only natural for a husband to kiss his wife?

"Come on, come on, such a nice scene, such a pleasant environment, the interest is quite good. Why don’t we get cozy here first?" As he spoke, Lin Zifeng leaned in to hug her.
