25 Hubby’s First ‘Report’

"In the Starry Sky, stars litter the sky and are scattered around. It seems random, but in reality, there's a pattern to it. The soul of the design isn't on the adorned diamonds, but rather the design on the waist. 4 diamonds form a constellation and this pattern is applied to each of the 12 wedding dresses in irregular arrangements, making up the 12 constellations. This is the reason why it's called the Starry Sky series. Meanwhile, these… are just plagiarized without attempting to make it original. There is no meaningful content and it's poor quality." Mo Lixin said slowly. 

For a moment, Gong Zeyun was in a daze while staring at Mo Lixin. She was always like this. No matter in the past life or this life, she had never changed her firm belief that wedding dresses should be pure and innocent. Thankfully, he still had time right now in this lifetime. 

"You don't understand, so why are you muttering rubbish?" The salesperson was upset. Obtaining a Starry Sky wedding dress was a dream of countless women. They knew that they could not own one, however. Yet, they were impressed by the fact that they could work as salespersons in the store. But, this woman said that the clothes were not even worth mentioning and that it was poor quality. 

"Don't worry. We won't buy these clothes and I don't think I need to buy them either. Let me advise you to change your jobs. I believe that these stores won't be able to stay open for long." Xu Qingman who had been quiet on the side said. 

They dared to plagiarize her Xin Xin's designs. Shameless people. She must sue this store and make them pay for this.

In the end, Mo Lixin took the car home. She left the driver to Xu Qingman and recalled the beautiful man that suddenly appeared. Coming out of the wedding dress store, they walked for a while. She noticed that they had a lot of common topics to talk about and they didn't feel awkward when talking to each other either. However, she felt like he gazed at her strangely. 

When she returned home, Ji Nanfeng hadn't returned yet. She glanced at the floor of shopping bags and decided to organize the things first. By the time she finished, it was already past 10 pm. In this medium-sized apartment building, there was a sense of warmth due to the new arrangements. 

She glanced at her phone. Ji Nanfeng had sent her 6 messages an hour ago, saying that he was busy and needed to come back later and for her not to worry. 

Mo Lixin glanced at the message and laughed. This was the first time he "reported" to her!

She placed her phone down and went to shower. However, no one expected for there to be a power failure midway. Mo Lixin felt fortunate that she had washed away the bubbles. She grabbed her bath towel and draped it around her shoulders. When she just returned to the bedroom, she heard the sound of the living room opening. 

"Nanfeng? Is that you?" Mo Lixin asked hesitantly, a bit alert.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? Are you afraid?" Ji Nanfeng's pleasant voice rang. 

"I'm… I'm fine." Mo Lixin answered and sighed. She was pretty scared of the dark. 

After the short interaction, the two returned to bed and Ji Nanfeng hugged Mo Lixin. 

"You didn't wash your hair?" Ji Nanfeng asked. 

"Mhm! When the doctor applied medicine for me, they said that I can't wash my hair for the next three days." Mo Lixin said, feeling down. However, she seemed to have thought of something.

"That day…you also got injured?!" He knew the answer, but he still asked anyway. Ji Nanfeng didn't feel good as he knew what exactly happened. 

"Mhm. It wasn't too serious. You're the one that was seriously injured. Plus…" She didn't want to mention that person.

"Duan Anran?" Ji Nanfeng asked. 

"Mhm…" Mo Lixin answered weakly. 

"It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry. I already investigated what happened that day. The hotel caught on fire, but there are security cameras. You are not a suspect."

In his last life, because the hotel caught on fire, his and Mo Lixin's relationship was on the brink of falling apart. 

In this life, although he knew about the cause and effects, he still needed to find evidence in order to clear Mo Lixin's name. 

Needless to say, Duan Anran was still sneaky in some aspects. This was because not only could she make the victim seem like the culprit, she also made people speechless and feel deeply guilty because she was the one injured.
