16. His jealousy

“Your makeup product was given by a good friend?”

“You’re awake.” Hearing the voice, Qiao Han turned to look at him, and continued to apply makeup in front of the mirror, “Yes, a good friend sent it.”

“Male or female?”

Last night, he lost most of his interest when he saw that those things were cosmetics, and subconsciously thought that these powdery things were given by a woman, so he didn’t ask much.

Now he was suddenly curious about this “good friend”. This was the first time she took the initiative to mention her friend, and she liked the things that this friend gave her so much. She had been appreciating it with great interest last night, and even used it early this morning. Since their marriage, except on the wedding day, he hasn’t seen her put on makeup.

It could be seen how important this friend was in her heart.

They knew very little about each other’s social circles and should get to know each other more.

“Male.”

Qiao Han replied without hesitation, and continued to apply powder on her face in front of the mirror.

……Male?

His heart froze for a while. Leng Feng stared at the cosmetics on the table, frowning gradually.

A man gave her makeup? And she was treating it as a precious treasure?

“Why did he send you makeup?” Leng Feng turned around, facing Qiao Han and propped his chin with one hand.

“He is the second young master of Ye’s family. We have been familiar with each other since we were children. He went to the United States when he was a teenager, and just came back a few days ago. He said that he missed my wedding and wanted to give me a gift.”

Leng Feng wanted to ask more but, Qiao Han turned her face and asked him, “How is it, do I look good?” She had finished putting on the makeup.

“…Beautiful.”

Qiao Han put on a light makeup, and the orange blush made her look more youthful and girly.

Well, looking at Qiao Han’s reaction, they seemed to be just normal friends. He felt much better!

Leng Feng lifted the quilt, his pair of long legs touched the ground, and went straight to the bathroom.

After breakfast, Lin Manqiu asked Leng Feng and Qiao Han to choose the new maid together, saying that since they are married, the mansion should also add more staffs, especially to prepare for the future when they have children.

The three sat on the sofa and asked the five maids who had come to apply for employment and were standing in front of the coffee table.

Qiao Han said that the original staffs of Leng Mansion was already enough, but it would be good to add one or two, so Leng Feng let Qiao Han to choose whom she liked.

Qiao Han chose a smart-looking girl named Xiaoxi, but of the remaining four, Qiao Han didn’t know who to choose.

Leng Feng suddenly remembered an important thing. Although his subordinates were guarding the front and back yard of the Leng Mansion, he wanted the maid to be a skilled one, so he asked them if they knew kung fu.

One of the girls named Mu Dan said that her father opened a martial arts hall and had learnt quite a few since she was a child. She heeded Leng Feng’s request and showed several set of punches. Leng Feng saw that she made a neat move, and indeed was good with her fist, so he kept her.

Leng Feng buried his head in the study room on the second floor to deal with official affairs until afternoon, before putting down the pen.

Remembering that Qiao Han hadn’t been upstairs since lunch and didn’t know what she was doing, he went downstairs to have a look.

Lin Manqiu lived in the main hall, and Leng Feng lived in the side hall. After Qiao Han married in, Lin Manqiu instructed the servants not to stay in the side hall except for regular cleaning work. Just stand by in front of the telephone booth between the side hall and the main hall, so the entire side hall was currently empty.

Qiao Han was also not on the first floor either. Leng Feng was about to go to the main hall to find her when she walked in with a tray on which there were two bowls of stewed snow pears with rock sugar.
