Chapter 721 You won't be so lucky next time

It seems I still need to treat Lin Yuwei better in the future. If she truly runs away, I won't even have a wife in the end.

"I've said all I can. Think it over yourself."

Feng Jin didn't bother saying anything more. She had said what she needed to, and it was all up to Chu Chenyi's understanding now.

As soon as her words fell, Feng Jin turned to leave. The moment she lifted a foot, the tightly shut door was violently kicked open from the outside.

Then, Ling Mohan's face, full of rage, appeared before her. Feng Jin was stunned for a moment upon seeing him before reacting, "Why are you here?"

Why did he come at this time, and with such a furious demeanor? Looking at his sour face, which was like a rock in a latrine, she felt incredibly annoyed.

Ling Mohan's gaze swept over Feng Jin, inspecting her from head to toe. Seeing that she was unharmed, he slowly let out a sigh of relief. He reached out and pulled Feng Jin directly into his embrace, holding her tightly.

Startled by his sudden action, Feng Jin was held in his arms in a daze, forgetting even to resist.

It wasn't until his arms tightened, making it difficult for Feng Jin to breathe, that she forcefully slapped him, "Let go quickly, I can't breathe."

With a fierce slap on his body, Ling Mohan realized his impropriety and quickly released her.

Feng Jin gasped for air and coughed incessantly. She had almost lost her life to Ling Mohan. She suddenly felt a sense of surviving a disaster and glared fiercely at Ling Mohan, "What's wrong with you? Why are you using so much force!"

"Sorry, I was momentarily agitated and couldn't control my strength."

He had rushed here without a moment's rest. Seeing Feng Jin, he naturally became emotional and lost control of his temper. Fortunately, Feng Jin had snapped him out of it in time.

Feng Jin rolled her eyes and said impatiently, "Who asked you to come? Didn't I tell you to stay home and look after the children? I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Despite all her calculations, she never expected Ling Mohan to arrive at this moment. It was completely beyond her anticipation.

"You're here, what about the children? Who did you leave them with!"

Realizing the children were alone at home with no one to accompany them, Feng Jin immediately became anxious, her tone towards Ling Mohan intensifying.

"I sent the children to Grandfather. Everything is fine, don't worry."

Ling Mohan quickly explained. He was concerned about the children now, but didn't he consider them when he stayed out all night?

Moreover, Feng Jin hadn't said a single word of concern for him from beginning to end, only talking about the children. He felt he held no place in her heart at all.

With this realization, the man's expression grew increasingly grim. His face was filled with dejection, and he cast a resentful glance at Feng Jin, looking exactly like a wife who had been wronged.

"What's with that expression?"

Feng Jin also noticed Ling Mohan's peculiar and wronged look. She felt an inexplicable guilt and a hint of pity.

"Don't look at me like that."

"You don't even care to ask about me, abandoning me at home without a second thought. You're truly heartless!"

Ling Mohan voiced his true feelings, glaring resentfully at Feng Jin, making her realize how heartless and excessive her actions had been.

"I..." Feng Jin opened her mouth, unsure of what to say. The words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

Why had Ling Mohan become like this? These words were utterly unbelievable coming from him. How thick-skinned could one be to say such things?

He wanted her to go back and accompany him? Was he a three-year-old child who needed company? He actually had the nerve to say it.

She felt embarrassed for Ling Mohan just hearing it and wanted to pull the shame-faced man away. Then, Chu Chenyi's obnoxious voice rang out from behind them.

"General Ling is still inseparable from his wife. Why doesn't he just tie Feng Jin to his body?"

Chu Chenyi raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing with a provocative glint, looking like he was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

These obnoxious words didn't anger Ling Mohan, but they thoroughly ignited Feng Jin's fury. She casually grabbed a teacup from the table and threw it with all her might in Chu Chenyi's direction.

Caught off guard by the sudden projectile, Chu Chenyi barely managed to react. Fortunately, at the last moment, he narrowly dodged it.

The expensive teacup smashed into the bookshelf behind him, shattering into pieces and spilling tea all over the floor.

Chu Chenyi, startled and shaken, patted his racing heart. It had been a close call... so close. That teacup had almost hit him directly in the face.

If that teacup had hit him, his face would have been disfigured, making it impossible for him to show himself in public.

"Consider yourself lucky to have dodged it. If you dare to spout nonsense again, what I throw next won't be a teacup, and you won't be so fortunate to dodge it."

Not having hit Chu Chenyi, Feng Jin felt deeply unsatisfied. If she had silver needles in hand, she would have unleashed a flurry of them to see if Chu Chenyi dared to babble nonsense again.

"Serves you right!"

Ling Mohan glanced at Chu Chenyi, who looked as if his soul had been half-scared away, and scornfully sneered at him. With such little courage, he dared to provoke Feng Jin? Wasn't that asking for trouble?

If it were him, what he would have thrown might have been a dagger, and he certainly wouldn't have let Chu Chenyi dodge so easily. He had truly gotten off lightly.

"Stop embarrassing yourself here and leave quickly."

Feng Jin turned to look at Ling Mohan, who was still standing in the same spot, and pulled him away. It was all because of his actions that she had been so humiliated.

As they reached the doorway, Ling Mohan's steps suddenly halted. In his haste to drag Feng Jin away, he had almost forgotten the important matter. He then pulled Feng Jin's hand and walked back.

Seeing the two people return, Ling Mohan froze, his eyes warily fixed on them, "Why have you two come back?"

Could it be they regretted it and were here to cause more trouble? Chu Chenyi immediately became alert, his gaze full of caution as he looked at the pair.

"Baili Xi has invited you to discuss the wedding etiquette matters tomorrow. Don't forget."
