Zhao Lan got worried about Hu Feng: “That Qian Furen, doesn’t look someone you can mess up with. She is Gu Daren’s sister. I’m afraid Gu Daren will not let us go.”

Bai Zhi was not worried at all: “No, you can rest assured, Gu Darem will not be so bold.”

Zhao Lan was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Bai Zhi sat up and said to Zhao Lan, who was walking towards the bed: “Niang, you put your heart at ease. Yesterday, when I was being beaten by Gu Pengkang, Boss Chen came to save me. Although I don’t know what exactly Boss Chen said to Gu Pengkang, I think he used Meng Nan’s name to scare him. Gu Pengkang is so fierce in here, but he doesn’t dare to offend people in the capital. And I already suffered in his hands, if something went wrong, can he still get out of it? So, he will not harm me, but rather, protect me. At least for a while, he will not let something bad happened to me, because he can’t afford to face it!”

Zhao Lan said: “I didn’t expect that Meng Gongzi would protect us even after he left, he is really our great benefactor.”

Seeing the happy face of both mother and daughter, Hu Feng’s flat eyebrows slightly raised. He coughed and said: “Are you feeling better now?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head and said: “Much better.”

When Zhao Lan saw that Hu Feng seem to have something to say, she pulled Zhao Sue to leave: “Let’s go to cook. It’s not too early. Awu should be back by now.”

Today is the day of harvesting melons. Awu took some villagers to the fields early in the morning. It’s about time for them to come back.

Zhao Sue was a smart person, she knows what Zhao Lan mean to say, so she pulled Ru’er outside.

Only Bai Zhi and Hu Feng were left in the cabin house. Bai Zhi was sitting on the bed, while Hu Feng was standing in front of the bed. No one spoke, so the atmosphere became strange.

Hu Feng turned his head and his eyes swept to the teapot on the small table. “Do you want to drink tea?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Mmm, I feel a bit thirsty.”

Hu Feng poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Bai Zhi. Then, he sat down at the bedside, only an arm further away from her.

Bai Zhi drank half a bowl of tea and handed it back to Hu Feng, then said: “Did you go out last night?”

Hu Feng was not surprised that she will know about it. Zhao Lan doesn’t know anything, but Zhao Sue must have known. She came here early the morning, she must have told her.

Hu Feng nodded his head: “Mmm, I went out to do something.”

Bai Zhi asked: “Do something? I heard you burned Gu Fengkang’s warehouse and beat him?”

Hu Feng’s facial expression didn’t change as he said: “He deserved it!”

Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “He really does.” Then, she turned her head and looked at Hu Feng. He was sitting up straight. His face looked cold and calm as usual, but she felt a little different. He seemed to be not the usual Hu Feng.

“You remember everything now, right?” Bai Zhi asked.

Hu Feng denied it: “No.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “I don’t believe you!”

Hu Feng turned his head, and his original cold eyes gradually became warm when he met her eyes. “You don’t want to pay your account?”

Bai Zhi didn’t understand his meaning at the moment, so she asked: “What account?”

Hu Feng’s lips curved upward, his faint smile reflects from eyes. This smile was like a burning fire that can warm up a person’s feelings: “If I can’t recover my memory, you will pay with yourself. You really forgot about it?”

Oh, right. She has forgotten about it… …

“That doesn’t count, you obviously cheated on me. I made a promise at that time so that you will drink your medicine. It’s not like I really want to… …” Bai Zhi’s words suddenly stopped as her face turned red.
