Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Less Talk, More Action, to Your Satisfaction
"Of course, that’s not all. I’m not finished yet."
Feng Xuan smiled and continued, "I also know that you have a space."
Yu An froze, her cold gaze shooting toward him.
’Only I know that I have a space. How could this man...’
’Could it be that everything he’s said is true?’
"In that space, there’s a lot of kitchenware, and even a food cart. We used to run a food stall together..."
He recounted slowly, and as Yu An listened, her expression became inscrutable.
"An’an, please believe me, okay?"
After saying all that, Feng Xuan said in a low voice, "We really are husband and wife. I don’t know why you’ve lost your memories, but our past can’t be erased."
"And then there’s Da Hu and Xiao Hu. They’re our children. If it weren’t for the bond between a mother and her children, I doubt you would have kept them with you. Even if they had been separated from their family, you would have just had someone else look after them, not done it yourself."
Yu An wanted to refute him, but she didn’t know how. Everything Feng Xuan said was completely logical.
She wasn’t a soft-hearted person, but when it came to Da Hu and Xiao Hu, she couldn’t help but feel a rush of affection.
"Let’s assume for a moment you’re not lying." Yu An waved her hand, and the vines loosened. "But I am now the Hall Master of the Beast God Hall. Whatever we had before, from this moment on, let’s just forget it all."
She turned away, her voice cold and hard. "Leave now. Take Da Hu and Xiao Hu with you."
Feng Xuan stiffened. He subconsciously took two steps forward, only to be blocked by the vines.
"An’an, please let me stay, okay?"
Feng Xuan pleaded, "Give me any identity. A servant, a guard, anything is fine. I’m not asking for anything else. Just being able to see you every day is enough."
"And Da Hu and Xiao Hu... you used to dote on them so much. If their mother drives them away, they’ll be heartbroken."
Seeing that Yu An wasn’t responding and was about to have the vines bind him and throw him out, Feng Xuan gritted his teeth and tore open his collar.
Lu Lu shot far away from him with a WHOOSH, screaming that there was a pervert and that Yu An should handle it herself, as it couldn’t cope.
Yu An turned around curiously, and her eyes immediately fell upon the man’s half-removed clothes. His chest was well-built and his muscles were full, his arms firm and powerful.
Her face flushed red in an instant. "You... you... you—"
’Such a pervert!’
’Why is he taking his clothes off for no reason!’
Feng Xuan slowly stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and blew softly against her ear.
"An’an, you always loved my body the most. You even said that more than touching, you preferred biting."
"Every time we... you would bite and gnaw, leaving so many marks..."
"Shut up!"
Yu An was both furious and embarrassed. "You’re talking nonsense! Who... who was biting and gnawing!"
’I have no memory of that, which means it never happened!’
"Not going to admit it?"
Feng Xuan chuckled lightly. "It’s alright. I’ll help you relive it."
He opened his mouth and bit down on Yu An’s earlobe, his teeth grinding and nibbling as he mumbled, "An’an, you once told me that the body has its own memory. Let’s relive it. Sometimes, the body is more... honest... than anything else."
There was no need to relive it, because Yu An found her body was already growing weak.
He hadn’t done anything, just bitten her earlobe, and she was already...
Yu An tried to push Feng Xuan away, but he held her tightly. Then, he swept her up into his arms and walked straight toward the bed.
"Lecher!"
Yu An’s hands were pinned, so she bit him in anger, but Feng Xuan just beamed with a brilliant smile.
"An’an, bite harder. It’s okay."
He chuckled. "If you bite too lightly, it’ll fade away too quickly. I want it to last a few days."
Yu An: "..."
’Pervert!’
While she was stunned by Feng Xuan’s perverse behavior, he had already pressed down on top of her.
"First, a kiss."
As he spoke, he kissed her. The moment their lips met, Yu An actually felt a sense of familiarity.
Then he moved lower, a dense shower of kisses falling one after another. Not only did her body not pull away, but it actually began to respond on its own.
When a cool draft hit her skin, Yu An abruptly came to her senses.
"Stop," she said, a little breathless. "Don’t you dare continue!"
"But..."
Feng Xuan sounded troubled. "An’an, if I stop now, won’t you feel... uncomfortable?"
His large, calloused palm brushed over her waist, sending shivers through her. Feng Xuan kissed her again. This kiss lasted for a long time—so long that he only let go when Yu An was out of breath.
Yu An did feel a strange sort of displeasure, but if she slept with a man she didn’t even know under such unclear circumstances, how could she continue to be the Hall Master?
"Get off," Yu An said after catching her breath. She gave him a hard kick. "No more touching, or I’ll throw you out right now."
Feng Xuan’s eyes lit up. "An’an, does this mean you agree to let me stay?"
Yu An was about to say that wasn’t what she meant, but Feng Xuan spoke first. "An’an, what job will I have? Where will I live? Can I live with you?"
The barrage of questions left Yu An a bit dazed, and she subconsciously replied, "You can live in this room... Wait, no!"
Feng Xuan immediately said, "A gentleman’s word is his bond. An’an, since you’ve said it, you can’t take it back."
"I’ll live in this room. As for my position... how about being your personal guard?"
Yu An shot him an exasperated glare. "You’ve already arranged everything for yourself, so why are you even asking me?"
Feng Xuan said joyfully, "An’an, does that mean you agree? Then it’s settled."
"Of course, if you need a bed-warmer, I’m also available at any... OUCH!"
Yu An kicked him again, pulled her nightgown together, and got off the bed. "Fine, you can stay. Less talk, more work. And one more thing: I don’t keep useless people around."
"Oh," Feng Xuan said, sounding aggrieved. "An’an, I’ll definitely talk less and do more. Also, I am useful. I can absolutely perform to your satisfaction!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "do" and "perform," and Yu An immediately understood his underlying meaning.
The corner of her mouth twitched. ’How did I end up with a husband like this before?’ she thought to herself.
It was true. The secrets Feng Xuan had revealed about her personal space had indeed convinced Yu An that their previous relationship was anything but shallow.
She had a few friends at the Divine Mountain’s training grounds, but she had never told anyone about her space.
It was her ultimate life-saving secret. She wouldn’t have revealed it to anyone unless she could entrust them with her life.
’Feng Xuan... was he really her lover from before?’
Yu An’s mind was a mess. She thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight, but after pulling the two Zaizai into her arms, she started to feel drowsy after just a short while.
Da Hu mumbled something in his sleep. Lying close, Yu An heard him clearly.
He was calling out, "Female Mother."
Yu An felt a daze wash over her and kissed the little one’s forehead.
"Am I really... your Female Mother?"
Why did she have no memory of this? She was certain all her memories, from childhood to the present, were intact. There were no missing pieces.
’If they were replaced, then who could have done it?’
’Who would have such immense power, to be able to replace a person’s memories?’
An image of a person surfaced in Yu An’s mind, but she quickly forced herself to forget it.
’No, it can’t be.’
