Chapter 70 - 70: Morning After The Storm

As usual, Kim Eunji woke up earlier than Nathan. She was snuggling inside his warm embrace when her eyes opened.

It was still five in the morning and the sun was about to rise on the East.

She then adjusted her eyes to the darkness and with the light coming from the outside, she could see the silhouette of Nathan's perfect features.

She lovingly looked at the sleeping man beside her. The feeling of warmth and joy then surged inside her.

She then raised her left hand to trace his face.

His face was so soft under her fingertips. She was so lost appreciating it that she did not realize her hand moved down towards the direction of his lips.

She could still remember how soft his lips was when clashed against hers.

Aside from his eyes, the second feature that he liked the most in his face was his lips.

The thought of wanting to steal a kiss from him suddenly came into her mind.

She drew her face closer until the distance between them until her face and his almost touched.

She could feel Nathan's hot breath fanning her face.

She drew her face closer to his and kissed him.

Her face immediately flushed in embarrassment after she realized what she had done.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Nathan did not woke up because of what she did.

She would definitely be more embarrassed when caught in the act.

She then slowly removed his arm that was wrapped around her waist and decided to got up.

She saw her phone on the bedside table and checked for any update regarding Kelly. She had also left a message from Mike Roland about what happened to Kelly last night since the man was unreachable when she made a call.

She heaved a huge sigh of relief when she saw Mo Jing-sheng's message telling her that Kelly had woken up and was very upset and emotional because of what happened.

Kim Eunji decided to message Kelly her words of encouragement. Kim Eunji's expression darkened when she recalled the incident yesterday.

Yesterday was supposed to be a happy day for them but it became a horrible day instead.

Now, she's more than determined to punish Feng Chen and possibly their entire clan, given that they would interfere.

She then got out of her bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and do her sanitary routine.

When she's inside, she was shocked to see that she was now wearing a new underwear and pajamas. She did not remember changing one last night!

"Did he change my clothes? My sanitary pad?" Kim Eunji asked in disbelief.

"No. It's impossible. It should be Aunt Lucy." She comforted herself with that thought.

But as she thought of how Nathan was so caring towards her, the chances that it was him who did it and not Aunt Lucy was probable.

"Yeah. It should be Aunt Lucy." She said with finality. She reminded herself to thank the latter later when she met her on the kitchen.

She then got out of the bathroom and went into their big walk-in closet to change.

She pulled a pair of sweat pants and her sports bra. She also grabbed her grey sweat jacket and towels. She then grabbed her pair of sneakers and wore it.

She then tied her hair into a ponytail and neatly tied her bangs using a rubber tie, showing her stitched wound which was slightly reddish. A sign that it's already healing. She then applied the healing wound cream which she usually applied on her wounds back then.

It was made from natural herbs which her Master had given her back then.

If she would not strain the wound, she could tell that it would completely heal next week. The same goes with her wound on the sides.

She then placed the plaster on her wound for protection.

Then she recalled something. Since the mansion had so many vacant rooms waiting for its purpose, she would ask one to be her medicinal lab room aside from the red room that she had already asked from him.

She went out of the bathroom and approached the bed. She then fixed the blanket and wrapped it around Nathan's body and she also adjusted the temperature in the room.

When she was contented, she then went out of their room and decided to have a morning walk around the property. A couple of rounds would do.

After she was done, she then looked for a perfect spot to practice Tai Chi.

She found an open spot near the second gazebo and decided to settle there.

Removing her sweater she started. She did her stretching and after that, she started Tai Chi.

While Kim Eunji was out, Nathan woke up the moment he felt that he could no longer feel the familiar warmth on the space beside him.

Just like yesterday, he again woke up without his wife beside him.

He got up from the bed and took his thick bathrobe and wore it.

He then went out and looked for his wife.

"Have you seen my wife?" He asked the butler whom he met on the hallway.

"I'm sorry Master but I have not seen the Mistress, Master Bai." The butler replied which made Nathan to be in panic.

He then hurriedly ran downstairs and called her name.

"Eunji!"

"Eunji!" His call alarmed the servants present in the area.

"Master, what's the matter?" Aunt Lucy asked.

"Eunji...Have you seen my wife?" He asked her.

"I saw her outside Master heading towards the second gazebo." The latter replied.

Nathan then rushed there and there he saw Kim Eunji seriously doing her routine.

Nathan heaved a sigh as he looked at his wife but frowned when he saw her only wearing too little clothes.

'Can't she feel cold at all?' He asked.

He watched for a while and then walked towards her and stayed on the spot not to close so he could not interrupt her.

Kim Eunji was doing her routine with eyes closed for better concentration.

When she was done, she then opened her eyes and calmly turned around to get her towel to wipe off her sweat but to her surprise, she saw Nathan walking towards her.

Nathan saw that she was finally done so he walked towards her and took the towel where she left it together with her jacket.

"Good morning." Kim Eunji greeted him and he responded with a passionate good morning kiss.

Kim Eunji was stunned by the kiss. Good thing there was no one in the area except the both of them.

"What was that for?" She asked him after he let her go.

"My good morning kiss." He simply replied and Kim Eunji chuckled.

Nathan then wiped her sweat for her and then after let her wore her jacket.

"Don't wear too little next time okay? You might catch cold or might get sick." Kim Eunji could only smile as he heard him.

"Alright. I'll remember that. So don't be upset now, okay?" She coaxed him.

"Come. Let's freshen up. Breakfast would be served soon." Nathan then offered his hand and Kim Eunji gladly took it.

The two walked hand in hand as they went back inside.

"Do you want to use the shower first?" Nathan asked her when they walked inside their room.

"No. You go ahead. I'll just change into a clean shirt instead."

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked her again.

"Yes. I'll shower later."

"Okay." Nathan replied and walked inside the bathroom.

Kim Eunji then walked towards the walk-in closet to changed into a comfortable t-shirt.

She then looked at Nathan's side and decided to do something for him. She decided to chose his outfit for today. She didn't find it difficult to do since his working outfits has one theme, black and white.

There were a few blue shirts but the white dominates it. She also chose his vest, his scarf and his cufflinks.

As for the watch and shoes, she left them for Nathan to decide.

While Nathan was in the shower, she then grabbed her phone and her laptop.

She then browsed for the latest business news to check on the current trends and then shifted her attention to stocks.

At the same time, since she was not able to do it last night, she'll do it now.

She decided to hack the Feng International Logistics Corporation.

Kim Eunji's brows arched when she saw that the company was pretty clean on the surface.

She gave them two thumbs up for that. However when she dug deeper, that's when she hit the jackpot.

Kim Eunji knew that if she would release this in public, it would make FILC to go bankrupt.

She also hacked Master Feng's personal computer and mobile phone and placed a bug in there that would record every future mails, audio and video conversations to monitor his every move.

Kim Eunji was satisfied with what she had achieved so far, turned off her laptop and grabbed her phone.

When she did, Nathan walked out of bathroom and headed towards their walk-in closet. He warmly smiled when he saw his clothes being prepared for him.

He then quickly changed into them as he didn't want her to wait that long for him.

He then placed the jacket and the scarf in his left arm and came out.

"Let's go?"

"En."

***

Kim Eunji and Nathan ate peacefully ate their breakfast together in the breakfast room of the mansion.

While eating, Nathan let his two assistants, Tang Hao and Marco to make their reports.

Tang Hao was making his reports when Nathan suddenly asked Kim Eunji for her plans for the day.

"I'll go visit Kelly on the hospital today."

"Any other plans?" Nathan asked her.

"Not really. I might stay for the entire day. Kelly... want to comfort and be there with her." Kim Eunji sadly expressed.

"Alright, I'll pay them a visit after work so that we could go back home together." Nathan would be discussing with Mo Jing-sheng on what they should do with the bastard that was locked up in their base.

"Okay. I'll inform Kelly and brother-im-law when I get there then."

After they had breakfast together, Nathan then bid goodbye to his beloved wife.

"Take care. Be a good girl, okay?" Nathan said and then kissed her lips.

Kim Eunji subconsciously hold on to his shoulder as the kiss became hot.

He lost control once again.

Kim Eunji was panting hard when Nathan let go of her.

"What was that for?" She asked while catching her breath. Her face had also turned into tomato red in embarrassment as they kissed with a lot of servants around.

"My goodbye kiss slash energy source. Since I'd be away from you for the entire day, I need my energy pack." He casually explain.

Kim Eunji was speechless as she looked at his very handsome face.

Nathan then kissed her once again. But this time, it was a peck. No tongue involved.

"I love you my beloved wife." He sweetly said with a smile.

"I love you, too my husband. Take care too. Okay?" Kim Eunji responded.

"En. Bye for now."

"Bye for now."

Nathan hugged her one last time before he entered into his Rolls Royce and drove off to work.

After realizing that the car was no longer in view, Kim Eunji decided to go back to their room and had a shower.

She then changed into a pair of jeans and chiffon top this time.

"Eunji-yah!" Kelly's face brightened a bit when she saw her best friend entered the room.

"Kelly. How are you? Where's brother-in-law? Why are you alone?"

"I'm okay...Ah Jing had to do some scans. He'll be back later." She sadly said.

"Why? What's wrong?" Kim Eunji asked her.

"Well, he was complaining of having a headache that it made me worried. I want to be with him but they would not allow me to go." Kelly was really worried for him and her situation really made her to be frustrated.

"Don't get so worked up okay? You have to control your emotions." Kim Eunji gently reminded.

"I know."

"Then stop sulking. And stop saying you're okay when you're not. It's okay to show some weakness you know?"

Kelly's lips twitched when Kim Eunji used the lines she usually told to Kim Eunji when she was acting tough back then.

"I'm just glad that you don't look traumatized after what happened yesterday."

Kelly was indeed traumatized that she even got nightmares last night. But she would not let Kim Eunji to know about it.

She knew her friend would feel guilty even more.

In fact dark circles were the evidence of that.

She only managed to have some sleep after Mike Roland called and talked to her over the phone.

"Seeing you in this state, I could not help not to blame myself for what happened." Kim Eunji admitted.

"Where's he?" Kelly asked in a shaky voice.

Kim Eunji's heart ached because of this.

"You don't have to worry about him, okay? He's locked somewhere Nathan and probably brother-in-law knew. He's done for. I would never let him off this time."

"Eunji-yah, don't." Kelly pleaded. This was what she was afraid of. She was afraid that Kim Eunji would place the law on her hand to avenge her.

"I'm sorry…You can't stop me this time Kelly. Don't worry, I'll be punishing someone deserving this time."

Kelly knew it was useless to stop Kim Eunji at this moment so she had no choice but to step back.

"Your job now is to not worry on everything except your baby. So you should take some sleep."
