Chapter 73 - 73: What's Mine Is Yours

While Nathan was showering on the bathroom, Kim Eunji was on the balcony as she was talking to J on the phone.

"Have you checked on that person's background?" Kim Eunji asked J.

"Well, your guess is both right and wrong Eunji." J said on the other line.

"You're right that Aunt Xi was connected to Feng Chen. She was his mole in the Mo Residence but you're wrong at the same time."

"What do you mean?" Kim Eunji asked as she was puzzled.

"The Aunt Xi that you met that day was probably not the real Aunt Xi." He vaguely explained but Kim Eunji was able to get it.

"So the Aunt Xi that I met that day was an impostor?" She asked in confirmation.

"Yes." He confirmed.

"We had received a police report a couple of days ago about a woman's dead body being found inside a freezer. Though the body was found a couple of hours after the incident, we urged the police to do an autopsy of the body. The results revealed that the body was long dead two days prior to the incident." He explained.

"That means that person was still alive." Kim Eunji drawn her conclusion.

She had seen the list of the casualties and badly injured servants during that day. She frowned when she did not see Aunt Xi's name on that list.

Therefore she sought J's help for it. Now that she knew the truth, it'd be harder to find the person since she didn't know that person's true identity.

But it didn't mean that person could forever be unnoticed by her.

"Much more like it, Eunji. I have a bad feeling that someone was behind all of this. And whoever that person who killed Aunt Xi, he/she was skilled in doing it. That person knew how to have a perfect disguise, too." J expressed his opinion with regards to this matter.

"I know. I'll be more careful from now on. By the way, I'm bringing someone over. Please don't bully him." Kim Eunji reminded J.

J had the tendency to become overprotective of her.

"Him?" J asked from the other line.

"Yes. He's someone very important to me. I'll explain the details later. And we might be arriving a bit late." Kim Eunji told him beforehand so that J won't be worried about it later.

"O-okay." J answered from the other line. He sounded a bit sad but Kim Eunji decided to brush it off.

"Anyways, I got to go. I still have to get ready."

"Wait. It's a dinner party later. It's up to you to buy gifts or not."

"Dinner party? What's the occasion?"

"Honestly, I don't know. But I'm having a bad feeling with this party. That's why I warned you beforehand to not come but you still insisted to come." He reminded.

"Well, they invited me over so who am I to refuse them? It might be a trap but trust me, I won't fall for it. Thank you for reminding me though." Kim Eunji warmly thanked him.

"I trust your judgment. And I'll be there to protect you from them."

"I know. And I'm thankful." Kim Eunji believed him.

"Okay, I won't hold you any longer. Tell me when you and your friend arrived at the airport, Tiger will get you both."

"Sure! No problem." Kim Eunji happily said.

"Bye. See you later. Take care on the trip." J bid his goodbye.

"Bye, J. Don't worry, we will."

Kim Eunji then went back inside their room.

She saw Nathan was already changing into his working suit.

He was looking at her with an apologetic look.

"What's wrong?" Kim Eunji asked him.

"I'm sorry...I think you'll have to head first to Hainan. Something came up. I know I promised to go with you in going there but--" Nathan wanted to explain why but Kim Eunji interrupted him.

"Shh. It's okay. It's a very important matter therefore, I understand." Kim Eunji was a bit disappointed as she thought he would accompany her as planned. But she was not someone unreasonable and stingy.

Nathan received a call from Marco that his uncle, Andrew would be arriving and was seeking for his audience.

He knew this day would come as he had agreed to marry a different woman but he decided to marry Kim Eunji instead without informing his uncle. He knew the latter would definitely be disappointed when he found out about it.

The situation was different now that he's married. He would never let anyone to bully his wife. Even if that person would be his uncle.

He heaved a sigh when he found out that his wife understood him nor did not ask any question.

"I promise, I would be there before the dusk comes." Nathan reassured her.

"Okay. I'll count on that hubby."

"Will do my beloved wife." Nathan then wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"What time will you be leaving?" Nathan asked as he lovingly looked at her.

"Since you won't be coming with me, I still have to book my flight."

"No. Use the private plane. I'll fly there via helicopter." Nathan immediately dismissed her idea of riding a commercial plane alone.

"Are you sure? It's your plane. You should use it instead."

"I'm sure. You're legally married to me therefore what's mine is also yours from now on."

"Oh then does that mean I'm now super rich?"

Nathan suddenly had the urge to laugh at his wife's silly remarks. He could not hold back anymore and he burst out and laughed hard.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Kim Eunji frowned when she saw him bursting out and was laughing so hard.

"What's funny about what I just said?" She innocently asked.

Nathan had calm down after quite some time and he looked at his wife.

"Yes, you're super rich now." He said with an underlying meaning.

He had the hunch that his wife was rich. No one could simply own a black bank card.

With his wealth and hers, her fortune would be beyond one could imagine.

"Okay?"

Nathan claimed her lips suddenly and caught her off guard.

Nathan could not resist Kim Eunji's charm. Especially when she looked cute.

Nathan's hand roamed around her lower back and he smiled when he finally found what he was looking for.

"Mm." Kim Eunji moaned when Nathan squeezed her butt cheeks.

Nathan broke off from the kiss and huskily asked.

"My wife, do you trust me?" He asked her.

"Yes, I do trust you. I love you, you know that." Kim Eunji sweetly replied.

"I know, and I love you, too." He smiled at her and continued, "Go freshen up, we'll go downstairs together, okay?"

"Okay."

After breakfast, Nathan left for work while Kim Eunji packed a day worth of clothes for them both. Since they'd be attending a party, she also packed a change of clothes for Nathan. She also picked a dress from the collection of dresses inside her wardrobe.

Now that she thought about the party, her head started to ache. Of course there would be a lot of people who would attend the party. Especially businessmen and business partners of Jin Group.

A lot of elites and socialites would be attending, too.

Then they would surely recognize Nathan.

What would she answer if they'll ask his relationship with him? Are they going to tell everyone the truth? That would be equivalent to publicizing their relationship.

She had not told him about this matter that's why she was in a conflict as she didn't want to hurt him.

When she was done, she changed into her high-waist black jeans and white V-neck shirt under her velvet cardigan.

She combed her hair and tied it in a low ponytail. She did not bother putting make-up on as she knew it was unnecessary. She then grabbed her favorite white sneakers which was already rugged because of always using it.

It's not because she was short of money from buying one, she just liked it as it's Kelly's birthday gift for her. And she liked the style and comfort the shoes had given to her feet.

She then grabbed her baseball cap and wore her Polarized eye glasses on.

She hanged her camera on her neck and pulled her suitcase as he made her way out of the room.

The servants took it from her when they saw her in the hallway.

"Thank you." She thanked them after they reached the first floor.

"You're welcome, Mistress. Have a safe trip." The servant politely said.

"Have a safe trip Mistress," everyone sending her off followed suit.

"Thank you."

Kim Eunji entered the car and it was driven by Man 1while Man 2 was sitting on the passenger's seat.

"Good morning, Mistress. Boss told us to accompany you during your trip to Hainan." Man 1 explained.

"Is that so? Okay." Kim Eunji said.

Well since Nathan had arranged for everything, she reluctantly agreed even though having a security escort was unnecessary. She wanted to give her husband the peace of mind.

***

While Kim Eunji was on her flight to Hainan, Nathan was having a serious talk with his uncle inside his office at Bai Corp.

"Is it true?" Andrew asked him.

"Yes." Nathan immediately answered.

"Are you insane?! You're in a relationship with a nobody? You're about to get married Nathan! Gosh!" Andrew Johnson said in frustration.

"Uncle, she has a name and she's not at least a nobody to me." Nathan told him.

"About the engagement, I'm not doing it." He added.

"What?! I thought you already agreed to it! Nathan, you're compromising your position in the family by calling off the engagement." Andrew told him the consequences of his actions.

"For what? For what is money and power if I can't be with her? Everything would be meaningless. I'd rather give up being the head of the Johnson family and be with her." Nathan expressed.

Andrew became angry when he heard it. "I didn't train you for nothing! Break up with her or something will happen to her! You choose."

Nathan shook his head as he looked at his uncle in disbelief. 'Let's see if my wife would allow you to hurt her.' Nathan thought.

"Uncle, I'm grateful for everything that you've done for me. You knew I didn't ask for this from the very beginning. But you shoved the responsibilities into my shoulder. For what? To be your puppet? To be someone you can control? Yes, I owe you but that does not mean you'd demand for my happiness!" Nathan angrily said.

"Dare to lay a finger on her and I would send Net International into it's destruction. If I can't someone will." He threatened.

"For the sake of an unknown woman, you would turn your back from your family! That's ridiculous!"

"No family would want to make its member to be sad. And the woman you're speaking ill to is now my wife."

"What?! You married her without my knowledge?! Are you insane?

"No, I'm not insane and yes I married her but so what uncle? I'm sorry for answering you in an impolite manner but if you're going to insult my wife more without even knowing her first then please leave!"

"You!" Andrew bellowed.

"I'm not expecting you to give your blessing to us. But as an elder, do respect my happiness. Respect my marriage with her. Respect my wife for she's mine and I'm his."

"You would regret this Nathan. What she's after is money." Andrew immediately judged Kim Eunji's character.

"Uncle, you don't know a thing about my wife. I'm afraid, you would be slapped on the face if you'd confront her."

"Hmmp! Watch out Nathan, you'll see that your wife would leave you!" Andrew stormed out of Nathan's office in anger.
