In truth, since Feng Jin married him, she had suffered no small amount of grievances.
From the very first day Feng Jin married him, she had endured the disdainful glances of outsiders. On their wedding day, she was the only one to enter the Ling manor in a sedan chair, while countless people watched her with amusement.
They had not even performed the wedding ceremony, and yet now she had to follow him through life and death every day, finding it difficult to even have a single day of peace.
What he owed Feng Jin was more than he could count, a debt he could never repay in this lifetime.
"Ultimately, it is I who have wronged you."
The man's deep voice sounded from above, and as it reached Feng Jin's ears, her entire body trembled. Why was he bringing this up today? She raised her head to look at Ling Mohan, "Why did you suddenly start talking about this?"
"I just suddenly thought of it, and only then did I realize how much I have wronged you."
"Since you understand, then make it up to me properly in the future."
Feng Jin was too lazy to dwell on past events with Ling Mohan anymore. She casually made a remark or two and moved on from the topic.
"By the way... don't you need to keep an eye on things? Is there anything for me to do here?"
She and the child were both unharmed, not even experiencing a moment of fright. Ling Mohan was still guarding here; didn't he have other matters to attend to?
"I feel at ease only when I am guarding you and the child."
This was the first time he had been so worried, fearing that the assassin might harm Feng Jin and the child, and for a moment, he had been blinded by rage.
It wasn't until Chu Qing came to find him to report that Feng Jin and her son were safe and sound that the redness in his eyes began to fade.
Now, all he wanted was to stay by Feng Jin and their child's side, not caring about anything else.
"It's alright, Lu Shi is watching. There's no need to worry."
The man leaned on Feng Jin's shoulder, his tone considerably more relaxed.
"You're exploiting Lu Shi like this; you have to give him some time for dating and courtship."
Constantly being exploited by Ling Mohan, when would Lu Shi and Cai Qing have time for love and dates? When would they finally get married? Feng Jin became anxious. She hurriedly warned, "In the future, you are not allowed to hand over everything to Lu Shi. You must do your own work yourself, or find someone else. In any case, you must free up Lu Shi's rest time!"
Feng Jin stood before Ling Mohan with her hands on her hips, meeting his gaze, and spoke with authority.
"You are showing concern for another man in front of your husband; do you think that is appropriate?"
Ling Mohan's face darkened instantly, and his tone was full of displeasure. He was very unhappy with Feng Jin's actions just now.
"That's not the same thing. I want to play matchmaker for Lu Shi and Cai Qing..."
Feng Jin tried her best to explain the reasons behind it, "Have you understood all this?"
She had explained it quite clearly; could it be that Ling Mohan still couldn't understand...
After a pause, the man finally spoke faintly, "You just engage in those useless things... You can't force matters of the heart. You have to let them resolve it themselves. With that time, you could think about how to please me..."
Ling Mohan's ability to change the subject was indeed quite fast. It was no wonder Feng Jin had been paying him less attention these days.
Hearing this, Feng Jin's mouth twitched uncontrollably. She found herself speechless, and the air fell into a sudden silence.
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acknowledgment. I'll give you two days to think it over carefully, and I'll come to check the results tomorrow."
Two days was enough time. Ling Mohan was already beginning to imagine what ideas Feng Jin would come up with to please him.
Instantly, his long-dormant heart began to beat wildly again, and his restless gaze scanned Feng Jin from head to toe.
Feng Jin immediately sensed the shift in the man's gaze. She slapped his shoulder and angrily rebuked, "Throw all those messy thoughts out of your head! No more overthinking!"
Caught red-handed, Ling Mohan felt a bit awkward. He awkwardly reached up and touched his straight nose.
It was Da Bao's cry that finally eased the awkwardness between them.
Feng Jin hurriedly turned her attention to the two children. She instinctively reached out and picked up the crying Da Bao, coaxing him gently.
Meanwhile, the younger child, Er Bao, watched the two of them with a calm expression, still holding his weapon.
"Why did you hit your brother?"
Ling Mohan picked up Er Bao and asked sternly.
Before Er Bao could explain, Da Bao, nestled in Feng Jin's arms, eagerly cried out his grievances.
"Didi... hit... hit..."
Da Bao's speech was still not fluent. He pointed at Er Bao, then at his own head.
A mother's heart understands her child. Feng Jin instantly understood the meaning behind Da Bao's words.
"Did Didi hit your head with the little wooden figure?"
Although Da Bao's speech was not fluent, it did not hinder communication.
Seeing that Feng Jin had understood what he meant, he nodded eagerly and reiterated his point persistently.
Feng Jin looked at the very composed Er Bao with some helplessness, and asked in a gentle tone, "Did you hit brother?"
Er Bao was also a responsible child. When Feng Jin asked him, he directly nodded and admitted it.
"Then why did you hit brother?" Feng Jin asked patiently.
She had to start dealing with the children's fights now; when would it ever end?
"Grab... then... then hit..."
Er Bao kept pointing and expressing himself, his emotions uncharacteristically agitated. He even held up the little wooden figure in his hand, looking ready for a battle.
"Did you snatch Didi's wooden figure?"
The suddenly questioned Da Bao seemed to feel guilty. He burst into loud sobs, burying his head deeply in Feng Jin's arms, refusing to lift it no matter how much they called him.
Feng Jin finally understood what had happened. Da Bao must have tried to snatch Er Bao's wooden figure, lost the battle, and then cried. He had then resorted to a false accusation. Now that his deception was exposed, he continued to act out, trying to deceive them.
"You were clearly the one who tried to snatch Didi's toy, and when you failed, you got hit and then cried first."
The personalities of these two children were truly like night and day, but their stubbornness was identical.
They were already fighting over things at this age; who knew what they would be like when they grew up.
"Play with this wooden figure, and don't snatch Didi's anymore."
Feng Jin took out another wooden figure and handed it to Da Bao. Fortunately, she had bought two; if she had only bought one, it would have been truly difficult.
Upon receiving the coveted little wooden figure, Da Bao finally stopped crying and his face lit up with joy.
"They're already fighting over things now; who knows what they'll be like when they grow up."
Ling Mohan was also impressed by these two little fellows. They were already fighting over things at such a young age.
"In the future, when buying anything, buy two identical ones. It will be fairer, and they won't fight."
Feng Jin felt helpless towards the two of them.
