Feng Bai’s expression tightened, "I... Can I owe you the thing I promised you for now, and do whatever you ask of me later, is that okay?"
Her hand remained on the car door, looking at Li Jingmo with a certain nervousness.
"Do you want to run or are you planning to back out? If you run now, where can I find you?"
Li Jingmo sat in the back seat, his legs elegantly crossed, his right hand resting on his left, tapping lightly, his voice casual and indifferent, but those familiar with him knew this was a prelude to his growing anger.
Feng Bai’s face tightened, realizing the gravity of the situation, "Then you, what do you think I should do?"
Li Jingmo looked towards Feng Bai, who pressed her lips together, "Go back with you? To do what? You can tell me what you want me to do right now. I have nothing, I don’t even know who I am, so how can I know what I can do for you?"
Li Jingmo’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed, "You don’t remember who you are?"
Feng Bai nodded, "I remember being sold here by a man. I woke up here and don’t remember who I am."
Her voice carried a low, sad tone, as anyone would be distressed by not remembering their own identity.
"What’s good about that?!" She lifted her head and stared at Li Jingmo, puzzled by his response. She had forgotten everything, and yet he said it was good!
"You think you can survive in the sea market without remembering anything?"
"If you leave my car right now, the people from Dark Cabinet will definitely capture you again."
Feng Bai’s complexion turned pale; she hadn’t even considered that, "Then what should I do?"
She had heard that one needed money for food and everything else, and she seemed to have nothing at all, let alone money. What was she supposed to do?
If she were caught and brought back there, she wouldn’t want it, she absolutely wouldn’t.
Feng Bai looked at him, her fingers slightly hooked, "Go back with you and do what? Do you expect me to repay you for your kindness?"
Feng Bai bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and nodded. After all, she had nowhere to go, didn’t even know who she was. She might as well go back with Li Jingmo for now. Once she found out who she was, or if she had money, she would leave Li Jingmo.
As Feng Bai thought this, she didn’t realize that once she had stepped into the wolf’s den, it wouldn’t be so easy to leave.
"By the way, I don’t even know your name."
She knew nothing about him, and surely she couldn’t keep calling him ’Hey’ in the future?
His phoenix eyes fixed on her, he slowly said, "Li Jingmo."
"Li Jingmo? My name is Feng Bai, given to me by Ding Lin. You can also call me Feng Bai."
Feng Bai smiled, "You really are a good person."
To remind her and to let her avoid being destitute, he truly seemed like a good person, apart from being a bit too handsy.
Li Jingmo’s lips curled. A good person? She would find out soon enough whether he was a good person!
But Feng Bai... Feng Bai, that name really did suit her.
The white curtains billowed with the cool breeze, bringing with it slivers of sunlight.
On a large bed, a woman around twenty years old lay there, covered with a light blue blanket, her breathtakingly beautiful face with her eyes tightly closed, peaceful like a sleeping beauty.
A maid of about fifty entered the room, and upon beholding the sleeping beauty, she couldn’t help but be astounded. She had been caring for her for a day and a night now, but every time she saw her, she was blown away by her breathtaking beauty, even though she was a woman herself, not young anymore, and there were the beautiful second and third young ladies in this family. However, this woman before her was the most beautiful she had ever seen. Even in a coma, her face was stunningly gorgeous, and her brows, eyes, nose, and delicate lips were all perfect. Her complexion was also fair and rosy, flawless. To think that such a perfect woman existed in this world.
The middle-aged maid bent down and touched the sleeping beauty’s forehead, "No fever, why aren’t you waking up?"
The maid was in the midst of her confusion when her expression suddenly froze, "You... you’re awake?"
A pair of eyes so beautiful they could overshadow the heavens and earth opened, sparkling and clear as the most beautiful sky and landscape, stunning the middle-aged maid. Such a beautiful face paired with those eyes was incredibly captivating.
She opened her eyes, looking at the person before her in surprise, her clear and beautiful voice asking, "Who are you?"
The maid was so mesmerized by her voice that she didn’t respond immediately.
"I am a servant of the Fu Family; others call me Aunt Hong, you can call me Aunt Hong as well."
She nodded and said softly, "Aunt Hong."
