Chapter 1223: Chapter 1242: Unforgiving

She was startled and quickly pulled the covers back up.

"Who changed my clothes?"

Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow. "Of course, it was your man, me. Besides me, who would dare to take your clothes off? Looking for a death wish, aren’t they?"

"That’s not it, you could have woken me up!" Besides, she had never worn this nightgown before; it was too revealing. The thin shoulder straps almost bared half of her white and full chest—if she wasn’t careful, everything would be exposed with a simple movement.

The hemline was also very low, barely covering her perky buttocks, with her long, straight legs exposed. Even Nan Fei felt embarrassed looking at herself. The most shame-inducing aspect was the presence of kiss marks that still lingered on her pale skin, marks that hadn’t yet had the chance to fade.

Wait a second... Why are there new kiss marks?

Ashamed, Nan Fei covered her chest with her hands and glared angrily at someone. "How could you steal a kiss from me?"

"I’m kissing my wife; how can you use the word ’steal’?" He spoke seriously, his bowl moving slightly in his hand, signaling, "Don’t you feel guilty? Is there a spot on your body that I haven’t touched, haven’t kissed?"

Nan Fei gritted her teeth; she really had no way of dealing with him. Because what he said was indeed quite true. But to just accept it like that didn’t feel quite right. It wasn’t until she finished freshening up and came out of the shower that she suddenly remembered—

The nightgown had been hidden away in the very corner; where had Bei Jiang found it from?

Huo Beijiang had already switched over to sitting in a smoke-gray armchair. The wide and soft chair swallowed his entire figure, positioned not far from a floor-to-ceiling window. Half of his body was shadowed, half caught in sunlight. The half-lit environment made his expression all the more elusive.

The playful sunlight danced across his prominent nose, the dense lashes casting a shadow over his masculine features.

That was the sight Nan Fei saw upon emerging, and she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Without speaking, his expressionless face seemed worlds apart from his usual demeanor; even more profound and restrained, charming and elegant. Gone was the usual flamboyance and unruliness.

Huo Beijiang noticed she had come out and lifted an eyebrow, "What is it? Stunned? Only realizing now how handsome your man is?"

"Cough cough..." Nan Fei came back to her senses and glared at him irritably. Barefooted, she padded across the carpet and sat next to Huo Beijiang. She slowly began sipping the nourishing soup from the coffee table.

"Eat more. There’s also your favorite green vegetable nubs."

"How do you know I like nubs?" Nan Fei asked in surprise.

With one hand propping his chin, he chuckled. "There’s a lot I know!"

"Then guess how I plan to handle Zhuanzhuan’s matter?"

"Zhuanzhuan, huh!" Huo Beijiang’s eyes narrowed dangerously. "With your lack of decisiveness, what can you do? Go along passively! If she explains, you believe her; if she apologizes, you forgive her." Ah, wife, you’re just too kind-hearted. You’ve suspected it for so long, and yet you drag it out till now.

His brother-in-law’s actions impressed him more. No! It’s because his brother-in-law, deep down, is just like Wei Qin.

But his little wife was not heartless at her core.

As for his sister-in-law, she truly was a sight to behold.

"Wrong!" Nan Fei raised her spoon and gently tapped it against the bowl. "I won’t forgive her, never ever." Her words were directed at Bei Jiang, but also at herself.

She simply couldn’t forget the hurt and suffering from her past life; she might refrain from seeking revenge, but she certainly couldn’t bring herself to forgive.

She was no saint, she couldn’t just forget the nights of anguish and tragedy just because Zhuanzhuan was her younger sister.
