Ling Mo Han was also greatly surprised, never having expected Feng Jin to appear here.
Only Gu Bei Chen, as if he had known all along, sat leisurely on a chair nearby, waiting for the good show to unfold.
The brothel madam, who had rushed to catch up, saw Feng Jin kick open the room door again, and that the person inside was someone she couldn't afford to offend. She immediately felt as if the sky was about to collapse and the ground beneath her feet split open.
"My dear ancestor, where are you not barging in!" The madam cried out in distress, chasing after Feng Jin and pulling her aside. She bowed and apologized profusely to the three people inside, "Your esteemed guests, please forgive us. It was my fault for not keeping a better eye on her, causing her to disturb you. We shall leave now."
After speaking, the madam reached out to grab Feng Jin, intending to drag her away. Before her hand could touch Feng Jin's sleeve, a teacup flew out and struck her hand, causing it to burn with pain.
"Take your dirty claws away!" Ling Mo Han's voice, dark and tinged with anger, rang out. His figure, like a phantom, appeared before Feng Jin. He took her hand and was about to lead her out.
The madam was instantly so frightened that she couldn't stand steadily, slumping to the ground. She didn't know Ling Mo Han's identity, but she knew he was not to be trifled with. It seemed she had courted great trouble today.
Feng Jin did not allow Ling Mo Han to lead her out. Instead, she violently shook off his hand and looked at the man before her with a hint of distance, "Why are you here? Don't you have anything to explain!"
He came to this kind of place behind her back, and now he was putting on an act as if she owed him money. Feng Jin's anger could no longer be suppressed. Today, she was determined to get a clear explanation from Ling Mo Han.
"Come home with me first. Is this a place for a young lady like you to be!"
This place was a den of iniquity. The thought of those men staring at Feng Jin with their lecherous eyes made his chest feel like it was burning.
At this moment, he only wanted to take Feng Jin back, preferably to lock her in a room forever, unable to step outside.
"If it's not a place for me to be, then it's a place for you to be? Ling Mo Han, you're truly remarkable! You're sneaking around behind my back to 'have fun,' do you have any conscience!"
Feng Jin shouted angrily, drawing the attention of everyone around them.
Ling Mo Han's head was about to explode from the surrounding chattering. He stepped forward, grabbed Feng Jin's fair hand, and said patiently, "We'll talk about it when we get home."
He truly regretted following Gu Bei Chen to such a place. Now that Feng Jin was misunderstanding, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clear his name.
"If you don't explain things clearly to me, then there's no point in continuing this marriage. Let's divorce, and then you can find as many girls as you want. It will have nothing to do with me!"
She was a purist when it came to love. Since Ling Mo Han was with her, he belonged to her alone, body and soul, for all eternity. If even a tiny bit of him was touched by another, she would find it disgusting.
If Ling Mo Han truly harbored such intentions, then she would only choose to divorce him.
"What nonsense are you speaking? Why are you bringing up divorce? Go back with me first, and we can talk slowly!"
As soon as Feng Jin mentioned divorce, Ling Mo Han panicked. His tone became somewhat anxious. Without waiting for Feng Jin's reply, he directly pulled her into his arms, ignoring everything else, and lifted her up.
At this moment, he had to hold her tight. Otherwise, if Feng Jin found an opportunity to sneak away again, he would truly be in tears.
"Let me down! Let me down..."
Feng Jin struggled with all her might, but she was firmly held by the man, unable to move at all.
"Stop struggling, you might get hurt."
The man lowered his voice and warned, his arm around Feng Jin tightening unconsciously, afraid of her getting injured.
Ling Mo Han carried Feng Jin straight out of the brothel. Everyone they saw lowered their heads and whispered.
Feng Jin felt as if her face had been utterly disgraced, all thanks to Ling Mo Han. Displeased, she fiercely pinched his waist.
The sudden pain made Ling Mo Han frown tightly, but his expression remained calm, betraying no emotion.
He simply held Feng Jin tightly, placed her on the horse, then mounted the horse himself and galloped towards the Ling Manor.
...
"Well... they've left, and this excitement is over," Gu Bei Chen watched Ling Mo Han and Feng Jin depart with a hint of regret on his face.
He had been looking forward to a good show, but it ended so quickly. It wasn't satisfying at all.
Such a good opportunity was wasted. It would be truly difficult to find another such opportunity next time.
"Did you tell Feng Jin... that Ling Mo Han was here?"
From his expression, Chu Chen Yi vaguely guessed the truth and asked, not expecting his guess to be entirely correct.
"You're quite clever this time, you actually guessed it."
Gu Bei Chen did not hide anything, choosing to admit it openly. Besides, it wasn't just one or two people who knew about this; the truth would come out sooner or later, so there was no use in hiding it.
"You've schemed against both of them!"
At this moment, Chu Chen Yi genuinely admired Gu Bei Chen's boldness. To dare to scheme against these two. May Gu Bei Chen's death not be too tragic in the end.
In the past, Gu Bei Chen couldn't even handle Ling Mo Han alone. Now, with Feng Jin added, offending these two consecutively, was Gu Bei Chen tired of living and trying to end his life early by doing this?
"How much have they schemed against me? This is just a small act of revenge, what's the big deal?"
Gu Bei Chen asked righteously. How many times had he fallen into their hands before? This was just a minor lesson, a small scheme.
These two wouldn't discard all past affection and directly kill him, would they?
Chu Chen Yi let out a cold laugh, shaking his head and sighing. He placed a hand on Gu Bei Chen's shoulder, patted it gently twice, and said, "Don't worry, if you happen to meet your unfortunate end, I will handle your funeral arrangements perfectly. I will absolutely ensure you depart with dignity."
This was all he could do. In this way, it would be considered worthy of their acquaintance.
