"You, you, you..." Emil stamred, opening his mouth but unable to complete a single sentence.
Nan Fei released Emil, her mood infinitely better compared to the previous gloom and depression. It was as if she saw sunlight again; a beam of light had entered her eternal darkness, ensuring she no longer had to feel hopeless and pretend to be strong when she was actually in despair!
At this mont, she was certain she had boundless courage and a lot of strength.
"Why are you smiling?" Emil was unnerved by her smile, shrinking back slightly.
Nan Fei was smiling because of the success of her recent experint. Although she couldn’t see, her brain and ears had reconstructed a new world for her.
She had found hope again!
"Emil, you have to cover you from now on," Nan Fei said with a grand gesture, exuding the aura of a big sister.
"Pfft!" Emil scoffed dismissively, rolling his eyes, "Who do you think you are? You think you can cover ? I’m the little Prince of Kannaya, the first in line to the royal inheritance."
Nan Fei was almost amused by this little kid, "Is that so? Then, Prince, whose territory are you in now? And whose bed are you on?"
Emil was left speechless, muttering for a while before letting out a cold snort. He lay back on the bed, pulled the quilt over himself tightly, and refused to engage further with this annoying woman.
Indeed... won are no good, just like crazy Uncle said.

At the break of dawn, Huo Beijiang arrived under the cover of night.
Lu Jin was staying in the sa courtyard and not far away. As he was on a mission, he had been keeping a lookout and imdiately went out upon spotting Huo Beijiang.
"Boss."
Huo Beijiang stopped in his tracks, "What’s up?"
"You’re back?"
"Mm!" Huo Beijiang gave a slight nod, looking up at his room, standing silently at the door. He neither spoke nor moved, his tall and straight figure like a towering mountain, frozen in place.
It gave the impression of having stood at the edge of a lengthy river of ti, destined to linger there until the end of ti.
Lu Jin initially intended to report the situation but now kept silent and stood there as well.
After an unknown period, Huo Beijiang finally moved. He turned his body slightly and glanced at Lu Jin, "Let’s go!"
"To where?" Lu Jin was stunned, not quite reacting. Wasn’t the boss going to rest? His room was the largest and most luxurious, except for Kaka’s.
"I’m staying at your place." Huo Beijiang’s voice was low and hoarse, each word laden with endless bitterness, "Nan Fei certainly doesn’t want to see . She can’t have any major emotional fluctuations, and I can’t risk upsetting her right now."
If it were before, he would shalessly insist on going back.
But not now!
Nan Fei’s attitude made him feel as if his heart was shattering!
"Boss, don’t be sad. I believe Sister-in-law is just montarily upset; she’ll forgive you soon," Lu Jin attempted to salvage his mistake, "When it’s light, I’ll go to Sister-in-law and explain everything. The issue with Ding Jiaqi is my fault. If I hadn’t let my guard down just because she was a woman, you wouldn’t have been implicated."
"It’s not your fault." Although during the day Huo Beijiang had ntioned sending Lu Jin back to the troop, he clearly understood in his heart.
The wife’s anger stemd entirely from his own mistakes.
Lu Jin was moved to tears, "Boss, do I still need to return to the troop? Can I not go?"
Huo Beijiang resolutely declined, "No way!"
