Chapter 1470: Chapter 1504: I Forgive You Because of Your Good Attitude

“The blow is pretty heavy, but she seems fine. I think she’ll recover after resting for a few days. Don’t worry.”

“Worry! How can you ask me not to worry? If you hadn’t come back pretending to be a good friend, how would I know what happened to her today?”

Nangong Bing was furious, arms crossed, turning her head away, deliberately ignoring him.

She was upset because Lin Zifeng never told her anything upfront; they are husband and wife, after all. Why didn’t he tell her the crucial things at the time, only confessing at the end? This felt like executing actions first and reporting later.

This kind of approach between husband and wife made Nangong Bing so angry her lungs hurt.

“Hehe, is this situation all my fault? If anything like this happens again, I’ll tell you first. Is that not enough?”

To appease the empress’s anger, he smiled broadly, pouring water and massaging her shoulders.

His smile was as radiant as a blooming flower…

Nangong Bing’s arms remained crossed, unwilling to acknowledge him, but finally, under his apologetic grin, she agreed to reconcile.

“Alright, judging by your sincere apology and skills at flattery, I won’t hold it against you this time. But if you do this again, don’t blame me.”

“Yes, yes, yes. May the Empress be at peace; your servant will never do it again~”

Oh my gosh…

After all this effort, he finally soothed her. Lin Zifeng understood that women do enjoy flattery; at least he thinks beautiful women enjoy it more~

…

Late at night, Lin Zifeng jumped out of bed, searching around the villa for traces of “Big Handsome Boy.” But after looking for two hours, he even ventured into the woods ten miles away from the villa.

Until after three o’clock in the morning, Lin Zifeng hadn’t found a single trace related to “Big Handsome Boy.”

“I’ve been back for several days, could this dead dog really have left Zhonghai City?” Lin Zifeng stood in the dark woods, searching for its scent, but found nothing.

A few days ago, he had asked Zhang Yuxuan to look into “Big Handsome Boy,” and the intelligence Zhang Yuxuan gathered said there was no trace of it.

Now Lin Zifeng really suspected this troublesome dog had indeed left Zhonghai City.

“Where could it have gone?” Lin Zifeng couldn’t figure it out.

…

…

Early the next morning, Zhang Mengjie sent information stating that there was no sign of “Big Handsome Boy” anywhere in Zhonghai City, and all surveillance at Zhonghai City’s exits showed no trace of it.

It seems this dead dog really left this time…

In the morning, Liu Ruyan didn’t look well from getting up until she finished breakfast.

Her mood was low and lifeless. She wasn’t talkative either. Usually, at this time, she would take out her phone and flaunt her recent extravagant lifestyle in front of Nangong Bing.

But now, the three of them sat around the table, not saying much.

Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing glanced at each other, holding chopsticks without knowing what to say.

“Well… how about Ruyan, I take you shopping today?” In an attempt to soothe Liu Ruyan’s mood, Nangong Bing figured she should spend some time with her.

“No need. It’s boring.” Surprisingly, Liu Ruyan acted as if possessed and refused.

“Then you…” Nangong Bing wanted to bring up last night’s motel incident Lin Zifeng told her, but seeing Lin Zifeng wink at her, she held back.

“Bingbing, I might not come back recently. I want to have some peaceful time alone. I’ll return when I’m in a better mood.”

Upon reflection, Liu Ruyan felt she needed time alone to calm down. With her current mental and emotional state, living with Nangong Bing was really difficult.

Her mood was at its lowest, fearing she might affect their mood as well.

“Give me a reason that convinces me.” Nangong Bing gently set down her chopsticks, elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin, exuding a composed demeanor.

“I’m emotionally unstable. Living with you, I might bring my emotions into your life, so let me go off alone to find peace.”

Although Liu Ruyan didn’t state the reason, Nangong Bing was fully aware.

“Sure, but you have to come back once every three days.” Nangong Bing replied calmly.

Lin Zifeng, sitting opposite her, found this unsettling. Every three days? Then why let her go in the first place? Why not just stay here?

“Fine.” Liu Ruyan finished speaking, didn’t even glance at Lin Zifeng, and headed to her room.

“I wonder if she’s taking this seriously?” Lin Zifeng felt uneasy seeing Liu Ruyan leave decisively.

“Definitely, and she’s very serious. She’s a capricious yet earnest person. Since she was exploited by King Yan, perhaps now she even feels like dying. If I try to persuade her to stay or negotiate with her, she might never come back again.”

“You really know her well?!”

Lin Zifeng looked at her surprised.

“We’ve been sisters; do you think that’s knowing her or not?” Nangong Bing shot him a cold look.

“Oh.” Lin Zifeng nodded and continued sweeping through breakfast.

…

Soon, Liu Ruyan only carried a small bag, casually taking two pieces of clothing as she came downstairs.

“Bingbing, enjoy your meal. I’m heading to work.”

“Alright, drive safely.” Nangong Bing smiled and nodded. With her psychology background, she knew persuading now was unnecessary—it was better to let Liu Ruyan leave lightly, leaving her with a curious thought, wondering why Bingbing didn’t try to stop her. Why didn’t she stop me?

Maybe if she persuaded just a little longer, I might’ve stayed after all. It’s just a fleeting, impulsive thought…

Once her mood improved, Nangong Bing would advise her again. That might be far more effective than now…

“Bang!”

After Liu Ruyan left, the entire villa felt unusually cold and quiet.

The duo glancing at each other. Neither was first to break the silence.

“By the way, have you found Big Handsome Boy?”

“No, it seems it really has left Zhonghai City.” Lin Zifeng looked disappointed.

“Things that are meant to leave will leave; those meant to stay will stay. Leaving might be liberation for it.” Nangong Bing sighed then took a few sips of porridge before heading upstairs…

“Really adept at philosophical reflections.” Lin Zifeng gulped down the remaining porridge then went to the garage to get the car to find Phantom the instructor…
