This perfunctory attitude naturally made her angry, especially after thinking about it carefully, she felt even more upset.
"If you go out again in the future, you must send a letter, you can't let me worry about you like this all the time."
"I know, it was my fault this time, and there will never be a next time."
Ling Mohan vowed sincerely, but whether he was telling the truth or not, no one could say.
"However... it's been a whole day today, and I haven't even seen a shadow of Lu Shi..."
Speaking of Lu Shi, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Lu Shi had disappeared without even saying goodbye.
In the past, he felt that Lu Shi's presence by his side was dispensable. Today, with Lu Shi gone, he felt a bit unaccustomed. When he assigned tasks to others, the results were simply unbearable and could not be reviewed.
Now, with a comparison, Lu Shi's work efficiency was much better. After all, Lu Shi understood his thoughts very well, and he didn't need to say much for Lu Shi to make all the arrangements. In this regard, no one could compare with Lu Shi.
"Lu Shi has been guarding me since this morning, and then he asked me to agree to his marriage with Cai Qing. After that, I haven't seen him again."
She simply told Ling Mohan what she knew so that he wouldn't worry so much.
"He's getting married, shouldn't he tell me first? To seek my consent, why did he come to you directly?"
This made Ling Mohan hesitate. According to common sense, Lu Shi should have sought his consent first before asking Feng Jin.
But he went straight over his head. He should have punished Ling Muzhu severely to teach him a lesson.
"I don't know about that. Perhaps he was worried that you wouldn't agree."
From her understanding, Ling Mohan would never agree so easily. He might even come up with other difficult methods. Lu Shi was indeed pitiful in his hands.
"Would I disagree? They are of the right age to marry, it's a normal thing. I'm not an unreasonable person, so why would I disagree?"
Ling Mohan quickly denied it, still very dissatisfied with Lu Shi's actions. He harbored some anger and made a mental note of Lu Shi's offense, planning to settle the score with him when the opportunity arose.
At this moment, while counting the dowry gifts purchased indoors, Lu Shi sneezed several times in a row. He thought it was because the window was open, so he got up to close the window and continued counting, checking if anything was missed.
"Look at your stingy expression."
Feng Jin rolled her eyes and glared at Ling Mohan with contempt. He was so angry over such trivial matters. He truly had a narrow mind.
Being scolded, Ling Moran touched his nose awkwardly. He didn't think he had gone too far at all.
"Don't think too much about it. Hurry up and sleep. Anything can be discussed tomorrow."
Ling Mohan yawned. He had been tired all day and was truly sleepy now. He embraced Feng Jin and fell into a deep sleep in a short time.
Hearing the even breathing by his ear, Feng Jin looked at Ling Mohan, who was already sleeping soundly. She deliberately mischievously pinched his nose. Just as he was about to suffocate and wake up, she immediately let go and nestled into his embrace, pretending to be asleep.
Ling Mohan stirred slightly, glanced at the still sleeping Feng Jin, and pulled her tighter into his arms, continuing to sleep soundly.
Now that he was even more tightly bound, Feng Jin struggled slightly. It was still useless, so she stopped bothering. It was getting late, and she was also feeling sleepy. She found a comfortable position in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when Feng Jin opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky. The place where the man had slept beside her was already cold. It seemed Ling Mohan had already left.
Feng Jin got out of bed, tidied herself up, and then went out.
As soon as she reached the courtyard, she heard the sounds of children playing. Upon listening carefully, she realized it was Da Bao and Er Bao's voices.
The sound of weapons clashing was also mixed in. Feng Jin's brows furrowed tightly. What were they doing? She then immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing Da Bao and Er Bao wielding wooden swords, she was so scared that she rushed forward and snatched the wooden swords from their hands: "Who let you play with this? It's so dangerous! And how can you fight each other? What if you get hurt!"
Who gave them these wooden swords? They were so young and already playing with them. What if they got hurt accidentally?
Feng Jin directly took away the wooden swords and had no intention of returning them. If she found out who gave them to Da Bao and Er Bao, she would settle the score with them.
"Mom..."
Da Bao called out softly, his gaze still fixed on the wooden swords in Feng Jin's hands, wanting them back, but he didn't dare to speak. After a moment, he glanced at Er Bao and signaled him with his eyes to ask for them.
Usually, their mother was most strict with him, and only slightly lenient with Er Bao. If Er Bao asked, perhaps they could get them back.
These were made by their father after a long time of begging. They had only played with them for a short while before their mother took them away.
Er Bao secretly glanced at his mother's increasingly gloomy expression and didn't dare to ask for them anymore.
"You are not allowed to play with these anymore. Mom is taking them away."
Feng Jin left with the wooden swords, leaving the two children standing dejectedly.
"Didn't I tell you to ask? Why aren't you saying anything!"
Da Bao put his hands on his hips, his eyes full of anger, glaring fiercely at Er Bao. What a coward! He told him to ask their mother, but he didn't even speak. Now they were all taken away, and neither of them could play.
"Mom is angry!"
Er Bao said lightly. Their mother was clearly very angry, and he would definitely not ask for them again, lest their mother get even more angry.
"Hmph, see what you play with!"
Da Bao snorted angrily and sat down on the steps. His chubby face was puffed up with anger.
"Let Dad ask for them."
He had already thought of it. When Dad came, he would ask Dad to get them. That way, even if Mom was angry, she wouldn't scold them. If the sky fell, Dad would help them hold it up.
"That's impossible. Dad wouldn't dare to offend Mom."
