Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

After Fang Xiaonuan learned that her parents were ¡°Selling their daughters for glory,¡± she hurried home. As soon as she entered the house, she saw a mountain of gifts piled up by the door. She just stood there. She ced her hands on her hips and shouted loudly, ¡°Dad! Mom! Come out and exin what this is!¡± Hearing her voice, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mother came over and poked Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s flushed cheeks. ¡°Look at you. You¡¯re in such a hurry. You don¡¯t lookdylike at all.¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯t lookdylike you would¡¯ve sold me off by now. Lookingdylike doesn¡¯t do me any favours either,¡± Fang Xiaonuan grumbled and kicked the presents that were in her way. Then, she angrily followed Mrs. Fang to the living room and sat down. Mr. Fang sat a little ways away and drank his tea silently. His usual cheery face was full of worry. Even Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s gentle and generous mother wore a worried expression. Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. She had just finished her final exams for her sophomore year. Before she could arrange her holiday itinerary, she heard that someone hade to her house to ask for her hand in marriage. Her parents had even epted the betrothal gifts. Fang Xiaonuan did not ask for details and just hurried home. But now, it seemed that the situation was not quite what she had expected. No matter how she looked at it, her parents did not seem to be selling her for wealth. ¡°Dad, mom, those things...¡± Fang Xiaonuan raised her chin at the gift mountain at the door and asked, ¡°Who sent them?¡± Mr. Fang nced at her, put down the teacup, and sighed. ¡°The Ji family.¡± Who?! Whose family?! Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. She sat on the sofa with a shocked expression, unable to move as if she had been struck by lightning. No wonder her parents were so worried. The Fang family certainly could not offend the Ji family. In Jing City, the Ji family was a behemoth that could shake the country¡¯s economy with a single stomp. ¡°Today, a person who identified himself as the Ji family¡¯s butler came to our house with gifts. He said that his master thinks that you are a perfect match for him and wants our families to join in marriage. He even made a lunch appointment for tomorrow. Your father and I wanted to refuse, but his demeanour was polite and upromising. He insisted on settling the matter. We didn¡¯t even have the chance to refuse.¡± Mother Fang held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand, her well taken care of face was full of worry. ¡°Xiaonuan, tell me, why are you acquainted with the Ji family? How could Old Master Ji...¡± Never mind Old Master Ji, Fang Xiaonuan had been so busy recently that she had barely even met any men! ¡°Mother, I have no rtionship with the Ji family, and I don¡¯t know Old Master Ji.¡± Fang Xiaonuan cupped her chin as she thought. ¡°As for what the Ji family wants, we can just ask them tomorrow.¡± In any case, with the Ji family¡¯s influence, they had to attend the dinner, even if they did not want to. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang looked at each other, their eyes filled with uncontroble worry. ...... The next day, Fang Xiaonuan and her parents arrived at the restaurant as promised. However, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s originally fair and tender little face was now covered with red scars and blemishes. When she grinned, one could see that two of her front teeth were missing. Her hair was messy and looked like it had not been washed in 800 years. Mrs. Fang was shocked when she saw her, and Old Master Ji would no doubt have a worse reaction. Mr. Fang coaxed Fang Xiaonuan forward and introduced her to Old Master Ji. ¡°Old Master Ji, this is my daughter, Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s hair was white, and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan with a little doubt in his expression. ¡°This... Are there any other girls in the Fang family who are of age?¡± Mr. Fang coughed softly and shook his head. ¡°No, Xiaonuan is the only daughter in our family.¡± Old Master Ji frowned, put on his sses, andpared the photo he had of Fang Xiaonuan with the girl before him. In the photo, Fang Xiaonuan had delicate features, and when she smiled, her eyes were bright and sweet. No matter how hard he looked, this slovenly girl before him did not resemble the girl in the photo. Fang Xiaonuan could guess what Old Master Ji was thinking. She deliberately used her finger to pick her nose. She pretended to be inconsiderate and rude. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look so closely. The person in the photo is me. You¡¯re too old to understand modern technology. Photo editing applications now have beauty filters that can people look beautiful.¡± Old Master Ji hesitated for a moment. If he were to set this girl up with his second son, Ji Lingchen, his second son would sever their father-son rtionship, right? Fang Xiaonuan saw Old Master Ji¡¯s expression and instantly felt that this might work out. Although she did not know why the Ji family had taken a fancy to her, a wealthy and influential family could not possibly ept a rude and ugly woman as their daughter-inw, right? Mr. Fang took the opportunity to speak. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Old Master Ji. We¡¯ve spoiled our dear Xiaonuan. Our spoiling her was inevitable. I¡¯ll get someone to return the gifts you sent over yesterday to the Ji residenceter. The marriage you mentioned earlier is also...¡± Chapter 2

Chapter 2: I¡¯ll Get Married

¡°It¡¯s okay. I like this Xiaonuan girl.¡± Old Master Ji put down the photo. His gaze was sharp and prating. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart clenched. She felt that Old Master Ji had seen right past her ridiculous disguise. She calmed down and was about to speak when Old Master Ji said, ¡°I have something I want to say to Xiaonuan alone. Look...¡± Mr. and Mrs. Fang hesitated. Fang Xiaonuan secretly tugged on Mrs. Fang¡¯s arm. Only then did Mrs. Fang say, ¡°Sure, I happen to feel a little restless. Hubby, let¡¯s go for a walk.¡± After Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang left, Fang Xiaonuan pulled a chair out and sat down. Her behavior seemed rude and inconsiderate, but it was not annoying. One could disguise one¡¯s appearance, but one could not disguise one¡¯s eyes. Old Master Ji stared into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s striking eyes for a while. ¡°Little girl, do you not want to marry into the Ji family? Do you know...¡± ¡°Representatives of the Ji family don¡¯t need you to say much. I believe that everyone in the capital is aware of the Ji family¡¯s status.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s back was stiff. ¡°I don¡¯t like to beat around the bush. Although I don¡¯t know why you like me, I really don¡¯t want to marry into the Ji family. If you want to use wealth and power to tempt me, I¡¯ll make myself absolutely clear that I won¡¯t marry. If you use your influence to threaten me...¡± Old Master Ji raised his eyebrows and waited for her next words with interest. Fang Xiaonuan smiled as she yed with the cup on the table. ¡°If I¡¯m thinking of myself, no matter how much you use power to threaten me, it¡¯s pointless. No one can force me to do things that I don¡¯t want to do. If I¡¯m forced toply, I might even bite off a chunk of your family¡¯s wealth. However, I have parents. I can¡¯t let the wealth that they have worked so hard for in the majority of their lives disappear just because of a moment of impulse. I also don¡¯t want them to lead a wandering life because of me at their age. So, if you decide to choose me, I can¡¯t resist you. I can only agree to get married.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a sensible little girl.¡± Old Master Ji stroked his beard. ¡°I think July 16th is a good date. Let¡¯s set the wedding date on this day.¡± He knew that Fang Xiaonuan did not want to marry into the Ji family. However, the master said that his second son, Ji Lingchen, was destined to marry Fang Xiaonuan. For his son¡¯s sake, and because he was already so old, he could only shamelessly threaten the little girl. Things were exactly as Fang Xiaonuan had expected. If she had seeded in persuading Old Master Ji, the feared Ji family would not have lived up to its reputation. She epted her fate and wiped her face. ¡°Alright, I can get married, but I have a condition.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Tell me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°ording to the normal procedure of a blind date, apart from the parents, the husband and wife should also be present. However, your son did not show up, which means that he is not satisfied with this marriage. I have no control over the internal affairs of the Ji family, nor do I care about the strained rtionship between a father and a son. I am just a little unlucky that I was forced into your fight. So... I need you to guarantee the safety of my parents and my family¡¯spany, Old Master Ji.¡± She did not want to be coteral damage from the Ji family¡¯s disagreements. This condition was not difficult to fulfill. Old Master Ji nodded. ¡°Fine, you have my word.¡± ...... After Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang came back, they heard that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s wedding date had been set. Their jaws dropped. Fang Xiaonuan smiled at them. ¡°Father, mother, now you don¡¯t have to worry that I won¡¯t be able to get married in the future.¡± In the CEO¡¯s office of the Ji Corporation, the man who was working behind the desk had a cold, handsome face. His gaze was sharp, and his eyebrows were subtly menacing. The bridge of his nose was high, and his thin lips were distinct. He was unapproachable. When Old Master Ji pushed open the door and entered, the man only cast him a cold nce before continuing to work. Old Master Ji did not mind. He sat down on the sofa and announced, ¡°Your wedding date is set for the 16th of July. Clear your schedule for that day in advance.¡± Ji Lingchen paused in the middle of signing a document. He raised his head to look at his father, who was sitting on the sofa. Old Master Ji picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips. He gently blew on the tea¡¯s surface. ¡°I understand your persistence in not getting married for so many years, but think about your mother. She wouldn¡¯t want to see you in heaven unmarried and alone.¡± He paused, then he continued, ¡°The woman is from the Fang family. Her name is Fang Xiaonuan. She¡¯s quite an interesting girl. She¡¯s just twenty years old this year, a sophomore.¡± Chapter 3

Chapter 3: He Did Not Mind Having a Stepmother

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°Only twenty? Give her to Ji Wen. She¡¯s just his cup of tea.¡± Ji Lingchen sneered and spoke without thinking. ¡°B*stard!¡± Old Master Ji put down the teacup with a bang. ¡°This is your future wife. How can you give her to your nephew!¡± If he had no business here, Old Master Ji would not have wanted to see Ji Lingchen. His second son was extremely rebellious. He was always defying him. Dealing with him was a headache. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you don¡¯t give her to Ji Wen, then whoever decided she should join our family should marry her. Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t mind having a stepmother who¡¯s younger than me.¡± ¡°Ji Lingchen!¡± Old Master Ji was so angry that he saw red. ¡°This time, it¡¯s not up to you. The betrothal gifts have been given, and the wedding date has been set. I¡¯m warning you, you have to get married this time!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was sharp, and he said coldly, ¡°Impossible!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s chest heaved up and down. As he looked at Ji Lingchen, who was so resistant to the wedding, he threw out his final trump card. ¡°You get married, and I¡¯ll tell you everything about that person.¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Old Master Ji. ¡°You found out?¡± Old Master Ji did not answer. He leaned on his cane and stood up to remind him again. ¡°The wedding date is the 16th of July. Make the appropriate preparations.¡± Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the wedding. It was said that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s wedding dress was designed by a famous designer that the Ji family had spent a lot of money to hire. A wedding dress that was worth tens of millions was clearly a gesture of respect to the Fang family. However, Fang Xiaonuan was not particrly happy to wear such an expensive wedding dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked young and tender, with baby fat still in her cheeks. Her fair face was supple and soft. When she wore the wedding dress, she looked even more beautiful and charming. Mrs. Fang entered the house and dismissed the makeup artist. Soon, only the mother and daughter were left in the house. Mrs. Fang helped to straighten up the hem of her dress. Looking at her slim and graceful daughter, she sighed. ¡°Xiaonuan, you shouldn¡¯t have agreed to this marriage. No matter how powerful the Ji family is, we don¡¯t have to ept. We can just find another ce to live.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled and held onto Mrs. Fang¡¯s arm. ¡°I don¡¯t want to. We didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Why would we leave the capital? Moreover... Mother,?do you think I¡¯m suffering? If the Ji family has proposed marriage, I dare to ept. If they want to bully me, the dissent in their family will be their own doing.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was known to be fierce and bold. No one dared to provoke her. Even though she said that, Mrs. Fang was still worried. ¡°Xiaonuan, what exactly did Old Master Ji say to you that day?¡± She understood her daughter well. If she had not been forced into a corner, she would never have given in. ...... Fang Xiaonuan looked at her mother¡¯s worried face and pretended to smile mysteriously. ¡°I won¡¯t tell you.¡± If there was some pressure, she could bear it alone. There was no need for her mother to worry. Meanwhile, in the study of the Ji family¡¯s old residence, Old Master Ji took out a USB sh drive and a stack of documents. ¡°Here is all the information you want.¡± Ji Lingchen was about to reach out to take it, but Old Master Ji stopped him. ¡°Come and get it from me after the wedding.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed, and he snorted coldly as he got up to leave. At the wedding, the guests were all gathered, and the media and paparazzi were all excluded. The people who attended were all prominent figures in the capital city. Ji Lingchen was the most popr bachelor in the capital city. The news of his wedding had shattered the hearts of many socialites. The Fang family, which was not considered famous in the capital city, had be rich in an instant due to the marriage. During the ceremony, Fang Xiaonuan held up her wedding dress and wore high heels that she was not ustomed to. She walked toward Mr. Fang slowly, taking it step by step. When she saw Mr. Fang¡¯s slightly red eyes, Fang Xiaonuan forcefully suppressed the bitterness in her heart. As she walked closer, all the lights in the room fell on her and Mr. Fang. Fang Xiaonuan held onto her father¡¯s arm and made her way to the path paved with petals. Not too far away, a tall and slender man was silently waiting for her. This was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s first meeting with her soon-to-be husband, Ji Lingchen. Fang Xiaonuan was not unfamiliar with the name Ji Lingchen. He was twenty-eight years old, had a sessful career, and was handsome. He was the CEO of the Ji Corporation, the uncrowned king of the capital city. He controlled the capital city as well as several of the nation¡¯s economic cornerstones. He was someone countless people feared, but now, he had be her groom. As the distance between them grew smaller, Fang Xiaonuan could clearly make out Ji Lingchen¡¯s features. He was indeed as handsome as everyone said, but... his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his deep eyes concealed an undetectable resistance. Chapter 4

Chapter 4: May-December Romance

It seemed that things were going just as Fang Xiaonuan had predicted. This person was also opposed to this marriage. As she thought of this, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s red lips curled up. This was great. Mr. Fang reluctantly passed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand to Ji Lingchen. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s fingertips were cold, and Ji Lingchen¡¯s palm was warm. The moment they touched, Fang Xiaonuan reflexively wanted to withdraw her hand. Ji Lingchen was quick to react. He quickly closed his palm and grabbed her hand tightly. Fang Xiaonuan was shocked. She raised her head and met Ji Lingchen¡¯s sharp gaze. She paused andughed under her breath. ¡°What? Are you afraid that I¡¯ll go back on my word?¡± Ji Lingchen narrowed his eyes. While he was helping Fang Xiaonuan straighten up her veil, he threatened, ¡°Go back on your word? Can the Fang family bear the price of you going back on your word?¡± Like father like son, their methods of delivering threats were exactly the same. Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Lingchen with a mocking gaze. This person clearly did not seem to be willing to get married. If she went back on her word right now, wouldn¡¯t that be exactly what he wanted? ¡®Why...¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan was deep in thought, but her gaze did not leave Ji Lingchen¡¯s face. To everyone else, they just looked like two newlyweds gazing at each other lovingly, unwilling to part for even a moment. When the auspicious time was approaching, the priest had no choice but to interrupt them. ¡°Do you, Fang Xiaonuan, take Mr. Ji Lingchen to be your husband, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, to love him, to care for him, to honor him, to ept him, and to be loyal to him until the end of your days?¡± Fang Xiaonuan came back to her senses and faced the priest. ¡°I do.¡± Perhaps her voice was too firm, but Ji Lingchen could not help but nce at her. She was even younger than he had imagined. Her fair and tender face still had baby fat in it, and she looked dainty. He was very close to her, so close that he could smell her milky fragrance. If the circumstances had allowed, Ji Lingchen would have massaged his temples. The wife his father had chosen for him was too young. They were eight years apart... He was truly in a May-December romance. After the priest finished asking Fang Xiaonuan to say her vows, he asked the same of Ji Lingchen. When the man answered ¡°I do¡±, his voice was deep and pleasant, but when Fang Xiaonuan heard it, she wanted to roll her eyes. ¡®What a hypocrite.¡¯ When it came to the exchanging of rings, Ji Lingchen finally let go of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand. He took the ring and put it on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s finger. He found that the back of her hand waspletely red, and he could vaguely see the imprints of his fingers. Ji Lingchen said nothing. He only shook her hand lightly. How could there be such an obvious mark? Was this woman made of porcin? Would she break when he touched her? ...... Fang Xiaonuan also saw the red blemish on her hand. She snorted lightly. When it was her turn to put the ring on Ji Lingchen¡¯s finger, she deliberately used brute force to put the ring on his ring finger. The pain in his fingertip made Ji Lingchen subconsciously look at Fang Xiaonuan. It seemed that his new wife not only had tender skin and a bad temper, but she was also very vengeful. Fang Xiaonuan noticed Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze and she stared back fearlessly! After the wedding, Fang Xiaonuan was taken directly to the Ji family¡¯s old mansion. The servants took her to a room on the second floor then left. Fang Xiaonuan grabbed fistfuls of the wedding dress that was in the way and sat down on the sofa. She was exhausted from the tedious etiquette. Why had no one told her that getting married was such a troublesome thing! When Ji Lingchen pushed the door open and entered, he sawyers of the snow-white wedding dress piled up on the sofa. Fang Xiaonuan sat in theyers of wedding dress. Her small face was scrunched up as she massaged her calf. She was mumbling something. Hearing his voice, Fang Xiaonuan stretched out her legs and raised her chin at the sofa opposite her. ¡°Sit, let¡¯s talk.¡± Ji Lingchen was just about to say something when he saw Fang Xiaonuan wave her hand. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t sit. I just want to say a few words to you. I was forced to marry you. You know your old man¡¯s personality. The strength of our Fang family is nothing in the face of your family. In order to protect my family, marriage is the only option. I don¡¯t like you, and you don¡¯t like me. We can just maintain this superficial marriage without any problems. You can do whatever you want. Do as you wish. I won¡¯t care.¡± Ji Lingchen sneered. ¡°ying hard-to-get? Do you think you can gain my interest that way? Protecting your family? That¡¯s quite an excuse. If your family had not signed for more than 20 orders in my family¡¯s name, I might even believe you.¡± Chapter 5

Chapter 5: The Most Suitable Person for You

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°More than twenty orders?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was surprised. She rolled her eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to make money after marrying you. This is a pleasant surprise.¡± She shrugged. ¡°You don¡¯t have to feel bad. I¡¯m just a virgin giving up my carefree life and marrying into the wolf¡¯s den that is your family. So what if my family¡¯spany makes more money? I¡¯llpensate you by marrying you then.¡± Ji Lingchen had a new understanding of Fang Xiaonuan. As his new wife, she had a sharp tongue. He took a step forward, his tall body gave off a sense of oppression. ¡°Miss Fang, I¡¯ll remind you onest time. Don¡¯t have any improper thoughts about me. Otherwise... the price will be too high for you to bear.¡± Fang Xiaonuan burst outughing, her clearughter was as melodious as a wind chime. ¡°Mr. Ji, aren¡¯t you being too narcissistic? Do you think I have improper thoughts about you? What kind of joke is this? I¡¯m young and beautiful. Why would I have improper thoughts about an old man who¡¯s eight years older than me? Is it because you think the younger boys don¡¯t interest me?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression did not look too good after being tantly despised for his age. He reminded her, ¡°Miss Fang, when you marry into the Ji family, you have to abide by the Ji family¡¯s rules. Every word and action of yours represents the Ji family¡¯s image. I don¡¯t want to hear any words that will ruin the Ji family¡¯s reputation.¡± Fang Xiaonuan waved her hand. ¡°You¡¯re really nagging about how old you are. Don¡¯t worry, I know what I¡¯m doing. If you came to me to talk nonsense, then you can leave.¡± She did not think that Ji Lingchen would be willing to sleep in the same room as her. Ji Lingchen choked. He really came here with an intention. He came to the new house to show Fang Xiaonuan that he was a threat. He wanted to make her stop thinking about certain things. Who would have thought that Fang Xiaonuan would despise him in the end? When Ji Lingchen left the house, he did not look too good. On his way to the study, he happened to meet the family¡¯s butler. The butler asked curiously, ¡°Young master, shouldn¡¯t you be in the new house at this time? Why are you here?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m here to see Grandfather.¡± In the study, Old Master Ji pointed at the documents and USB sh drive on the table and said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°You can take what you want.¡± Logically speaking, Ji Lingchen should have left when he got what he wanted. However, he suddenly stopped and said, ¡°Dad, do you think a forced marriage will lead to happiness?¡± Old Master Ji froze. He sat back down on the chair and looked at Ji Lingchen¡¯s steady and fierce expression. ¡°Believe me, she is the most suitable person to be your wife.¡± Ji Lingchenughed mockingly. ¡°I hope so.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had just changed out of her heavy wedding dress. Before she had the chance to wash up, she heard an argument downstairs. She thought about it and decided to go out to take a look because she had heard Ji Lingchen¡¯s cheapskate voice! ...... ¡°Young master, tonight Is your wedding night. You should be with the young madam. Leaving on your wedding night is bad luck for newlyweds.¡± The butler had heard from the servant that Ji Lingchen was going out, so he hurried over to dissuade him. Coincidentally, Ji Lingchen¡¯s eldest brother, Ji Kangde, was going out as well. He followed the butler¡¯s lead and persuaded him too. ¡°Lingchen, you are almost 30 years old. Can you not be childish? Xiaonuan is the wife you just married. You have to be responsible for her. If you leave recklessly tonight, how will she be able to hold her head up tomorrow?¡± ¡°Brother, you know very well how this marriage came about. I listened to you and got married, but it doesn¡¯t mean that I will enter the bride¡¯s room. Move aside, don¡¯t force me to do it.¡± Ji Lingchen was about to leave, but Ji Kangde once again blocked his way. ¡°Lingchen, Xiaonuan is watching you from the second floor.¡± Ji Lingchen raised his head when he heard that. He just happened to see Fang Xiaonuan smiling and waving at him in her pink pajamas. She mouthed, ¡°Goodbye.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. ¡°See? Fang Xiaonuan herself doesn¡¯t mind me leaving. Big brother, don¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± With that, he walked past the silent Ji Kangde and left the Ji family¡¯s old residence. Ji Kangde¡¯s wife, Feng Qi, happened to see this y out. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan coldly. ¡°You can¡¯t even keep your own man on your wedding night. Trash.¡± Fang Xiaonuan cocked her head and looked at Feng Qi, who was standing not far away. She knew that this woman was Ji Kangde¡¯s wife and Ji Lingchen¡¯s sister-inw. She was not bad-looking and had a good temperament, but she was not very likable. Fang Xiaonuan smiled and withdrew her hand. She used Ji Lingchen¡¯s words to rebuke her. ¡°You both know what¡¯s going on with this marriage, so... don¡¯t be too demanding. Otherwise, before Ji Lingchen goes back on his word, I¡¯ll quit.¡± Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Yes, You are the Most Disciplined

There were so many rich and famousdies in the capital, and her family background was good but there was no telling how many other families were just as good. Still, Old Master Ji had chosen her... Fang Xiaonuan knew that there was something fishy going on. There was more to this marriage than the Ji family were letting on. Feng Qi did not expect Fang Xiaonuan to be so arrogant. His face was livid. Just as she was about to reprimand her, she saw Fang Xiaonuan p her hands and swagger back to her room. With a bang, she closed the door. She was about to reprimand her! Feng Qi was shocked. She was even angrier now! Meanwhile, Ji Lingchen drove to his residence. He usually lived alone in the Spirit Creek Vi, and the number of times he went to the old residence in a year could be counted on one hand. Just as he parked the car, he noticed a drunk woman sitting at the entrance of the vi. The woman was holding a bottle of wine, and her eyes were on the car headlights that had not been turned off. Ji Lingchen paused for a moment and got out of the car. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Rou saw him and shed tears before she could say anything. ¡°Lingchen, why? Why did you agree to marry that woman?¡± Her tears were like pearls that had lost their thread, falling one after another. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You drank too much.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t drink too much, Lingchen. You know how I feel about you. I¡¯ve liked you for fifteen years. You weren¡¯t allowed to have other women around you, but you tacitly allowed me to be by your side. I thought that the person who would marry you would definitely be me, but why her? Why did you marry that strange woman, Fang Xiaonuan? Could it be that she¡¯s younger than me?¡± Lin Rou cried her heart out. Ever since she heard that Ji Lingchen was going to get married, her father had locked her up at home. He only let her out at night. Ji Lingchen silently looked at the woman who was sobbing on the steps. After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, ¡°If you¡¯re sober, then leave.¡± ¡°No!¡± Lin Rou staggered to her feet. ¡°Lingchen, you don¡¯t love that woman. I know you don¡¯t love her! I¡¯ve been by your side for fifteen years. No one understands you better than I do. If you really loved that woman, you wouldn¡¯t be here alone. The woman who you let live in the Spirit Creek Vi is the one who has your approval. Lingchen, are you going through something you¡¯re not telling me about? It was the Ji family who forced you to marry that woman, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Ji Lingchen could not answer this question. He had not been forced into this marriage. This was a fair and just exchange. If he wanted to get what he wanted from his father, he had to marry Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You drank too much. I¡¯ll get the someone to send you home.¡± ...... When someone from the Lin family came over, Ji Lingchen watched them escort Lin Rou into the car before turning around to open the vi¡¯s door. Too many things had happened today. He now had a headache. After taking a simple shower, he flipped through the documents he had gotten from his father. He did not know if he had done the right thing by marrying a girl he did not know for the sake of this information. But when he thought about the benefits the Fang family had gained from this marriage, Ji Lingchen looked past it. ¡°We¡¯re just using each other to get what we want.¡± The next morning, Fang Xiaonuan slept soundly on the big bed all by herself until she was woken up by a servant knocking on the door. She rubbed her eyes, washed up, and went downstairs. Feng Qi looked at her and said mockingly, ¡°Youe from a small family and you don¡¯t live by any rules. You just married into the family and you¡¯re already sleeping in, making the whole family wait for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was not angry. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was not even seven o¡¯clock yet. She smiled and said, ¡°Yes, the Ji family is the most disciplined. I have to learn from them.¡± For some reason, Fang Xiaonuan was being very obedient. However, Feng Qi still felt that something was wrong. Yet, she could not put her finger on what it was. ¡°Hmph, I really don¡¯t understand how a person like you married into the Ji family. You are so different from Rou¡¯er.¡± Ji Kangde coughed and gestured to his wife to stop talking. ¡°Xiaonuan has just joined the Ji family. She doesn¡¯t understand many of the rules. As her sister-inw, you can slowly teach them to her.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have time to teach her.¡± Feng Qi did not look at Fang Xiaonuan who was quietly sitting in her seat. ¡°In the future, if anyone introduces a woman like that to my son, I¡¯ll kill myself in front of him.¡± ¡°Enough.¡± Ji Kangde was not a fool. He knew that Feng Qi was dissatisfied with the wife that he and his father had found for Ji Lingchen. He pulled a long face. ¡°You¡¯re only Lingchen¡¯s sister-inw. You have no right to interfere in Lingchen¡¯s marriage. Don¡¯t say such things in the future.¡± Old Master Ji slowly made his way downstairs. ¡°What are you arguing about so early in the morning?¡± Chapter 7

Chapter 7: The Two of Us Were Together Last Night

Having finally resolved his second son¡¯s marriage, Old Master Ji¡¯splexion seemed much better. He sat down at the main seat and did not see Ji Lingchen. He asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Lingchen? Tell him toe downstairs for dinner.¡± Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head and did not say a word, pretending she did not hear him. Seeing this, the butler could only say, ¡°Old Master, young master leftst night. He said that he had something to deal with at thepany.¡± ¡°What? He went to thepany on his wedding night? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to let him leave? Why didn¡¯t anyone tell me!¡± Old Master Ji was furious. Feng Qi said sarcastically, ¡°Ji Lingchen doesn¡¯t like to be at home to begin with. Now that there¡¯s a woman he doesn¡¯t like in the room. Naturally, he would stay far away.¡± Ji Kangde mmed the table. ¡°Shut up!¡± He could not stand his wife¡¯s behavior. He stopped eating and directly pulled Feng Qi away. Old Master Ji said angrily, ¡°Call Ji Lingchen and get him toe back!¡± The butler quickly replied, ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Ji Kangde pulled Feng Qi back to the bedroom. ¡°Feng Qi, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking. You¡¯re not satisfied with Fang Xiaonuan marrying into the Ji family, but don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re only Lingchen¡¯s sister-inw. You have no right to interfere in Lingchen¡¯s marriage! Also, get rid of your little ns as soon as possible. Whatever Ji Wen wants to do in the future is Ji Wen¡¯s business. Don¡¯t interfere recklessly.¡± ¡°What do you mean? What do I have nned? Ji Kangde, I¡¯ve been married to you for twenty years. Don¡¯t tell me that you think more of Fang Xiaonuan who just got here?¡± Feng Qi was furious. ¡°What do you mean by getting Lingchen a wife? I think getting Lingchen a wife is a lie. You wanted to trick Fang Xiaonuan into the Ji family so that you can satisfy your own desires!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Ji Kangde gritted his teeth. He raised his hand and almost hit Feng Qi in the face. He was so angry that his breathing became heavier. ¡°Don¡¯t let me hear you say something like that again. Otherwise, you know the consequences.¡± Looking at Ji Kangde¡¯s back as he left, Feng Qi was crying so hard that she was out of breath. It was all Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s fault. She had just married into the Ji family and she had already caused her to quarrel with her husband! Disaster! Slut! The innocent Fang Xiaonuan, who had just beenbeled as a disaster, was dozing off as she apanied Old Master Ji to wait for Ji Lingchen¡¯s return. However, as she waited, she did not see Ji Lingchen. Instead, she saw a beautiful woman. ...... Fang Xiaonuan looked at Old Master Ji in confusion and tried to ask who she was with her eyes. Old Master Ji¡¯s expression was unsightly, but the rtionship between the Ji family and the Lin family made it impossible for him to turn a blind eye to Lin Rou. He could only say, ¡°Why are you here, Rou¡¯er? Quick, sit down.¡± Rou¡¯er? This name sounded a little familiar. When Lin Rou entered the house, the first thing she saw was Fang Xiaonuan, who was sitting next to Old Master Ji. She had been to the Ji family¡¯s house many times, but she had never seen someone like Fang Xiaonuan here. In that case, she could only be the wife that Ji Lingchen had married yesterday. Lin Rou endured the pain in her heart and said with a smile, ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m here to meet sister-inw.¡± ¡°Looking for Feng Qi? I¡¯ll get Feng Xiaonuan to help you call her down.¡± Old Master Ji was a shrewd person. Lin Rou hade to the Ji family¡¯s house many times, but he had never let her go up to the second floor. She was only allowed to move around on the first floor. Most of the Ji family lived on the second floor, so the second floor was considered a private area. Only acknowledged members of the Ji family could go upstairs. Thus, every time Old Master Ji spoke, he would take a roundabout way to express his stance. Letting Fang Xiaonuan go up to call her meant that Fang Xiaonuan was recognized as a member of the Ji family. Fang Xiaonuan keenly sensed the atmosphere between Old Master Ji and Lin Rou. She cleverly stood up and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, Dad. Then I¡¯ll go upstairs and ask sister-inw toe down.¡± The way she addressed him made Old Master Ji extremely satisfied. ¡°Go on.¡± When Fang Xiaonuan knocked on Feng Qi¡¯s door, Feng Qi¡¯s eyes were still red. Fang Xiaonuan pretended that she did not see that. ¡°Sister-inw, someone named Rou¡¯er is downstairs waiting for you.¡± Hearing that Lin Rou hade, Feng Qi¡¯s eyes lit up. When she saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s calm expression, a trace of resentment shed through her eyes. She deliberately said, ¡°Is that so? Rou¡¯er should be looking for Lingchen, right? The two of them were... Hey, look, why am I talking about this? Lingchen is already married. Let bygones be bygones.¡± ¡®What did she mean by...¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan pondered for a moment. She did not care that Lin Rou and Ji Lingchen were having an affair, but Feng Qi clearly said this to annoy her. She could not let her get what she wanted. Thinking of this, Fang Xiaonuan smiled and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. If the rtionship didn¡¯t work out, I guess they weren¡¯t meant to be. There¡¯s no other way to say it.¡± Feng Qi choked. With an unfriendly expression, she walked past Fang Xiaonuan and went downstairs. She deliberately raised her voice and said to Lin Rou, ¡°Rou¡¯er, you¡¯re here to see Lingchen, right? Unfortunately, he didn¡¯te homest night.¡± Lin Rou¡¯s gaze turned from Fang Xiaonuan to Feng Qi. She stood up and said, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m not here to look for Lingchen, and...¡± She paused for a moment before speaking again. She pretended to be embarrassed and lowered her head. ¡°I know Lingchen isn¡¯t home. We were at Spirit Creek Vist night.¡± Chapter 8

Chapter 8: If People Don¡¯t Offend Me, I Won¡¯t Offend Them

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Hearing this, Old Master Ji¡¯s expression darkened. It was not that he did not know about Ji Lingchen and Lin Rou¡¯s rtionship. However, if Ji Lingchen had really liked Lin Rou, he would have married her long ago. He would not have waited until now. However, Lin Rou¡¯s words clearly indicated that she was with Ji Lingchenst night, while his new daughter-inw spent their wedding night alone in an empty room. It was clearly a p to the Ji family¡¯s face. Everyone present knew that this was Lin Rou provoking Fang Xiaonuan. So what if Fang Xiaonuan married Ji Lingchen? The one who apanied Ji Lingchen on his wedding night was Lin Rou. On the other hand, the person she was trying to provoke was just calmly sitting on the sofa, as if all of this had nothing to do with her. Feng Qi could have even thrown caution to the wind and said with a smile, ¡°The two of you were togetherst night, so you should havee back together today. This Lingchen kid is really something. What¡¯s there to hide?¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s expression turned even darker. He asked the housekeeper with a dark expression, ¡°Where is Ji Lingchen?¡± ¡°Master, second young master didn¡¯t answer the phone!¡± the housekeeper replied carefully. At the same time, a ck Maybach stopped in the front yard. The man who got out of the car had a cold expression on his face. His figure was tall and slender. He closed the car door and entered the living room of the old residence. Old Master Ji looked at the door. Before he could say anything, his eldest daughter-inw, Feng Qi, stood up and greeted him. ¡°Where have you been? Look at you. You were with Rou¡¯erst night. Why didn¡¯t youe back with her today? Who are you hiding from?¡± Ji Lingchen ignored her. He looked at Lin Rou and then at the innocent-looking Fang Xiaonuan. She seemed to have nothing to do with this. Fang Xiaonuan kept herints to herself. Although joining a wealthy family held many benefits, conscience had be just a passerby. She had not even done anything yet, and her love rival had alreadye to provoke her. This Feng Qi was too brainless. ¡°Housekeeper, send the guest out! On the first day of Ji Lingchen¡¯s wedding, he and the young madam want to offer incense to their mother. It¡¯s not appropriate for outsiders to stay in the house.¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s expression was even darker now. He patiently gave his instructions. Feng Qi said, ¡°Dad, Rou¡¯er isn¡¯t an outsider. She can...¡± ...... Before Feng Qi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Old Master Ji. He angrily said, ¡°If you also want to leave the Ji family, no one will stop you. Housekeeper, send the guest out!¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± The butler stepped in front of Lin Rou and gestured for her to leave. Feng Qi was frightened by Old Master Ji¡¯s words. Old Master Ji¡¯s temper was unwavering in the Ji family. If she said anything else, he might really chase her away. Thus, she did not dare to fight for Lin Rou to stay. She could only watch as the butler escorted her out. Lin Rou stared straight at Ji Lingchen, as if wanting him to say something to let her stay. However, Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He did not even look at her, so she could only leave dejectedly. ¡°In a while, you have to light incense for your mother. Go and get changed.¡± After Lin Rou left, Old Master Ji let out a sigh of relief and spoke to Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan. The two went upstairs to change their clothes. When they were alone again, Fang Xiaonuan warned herself, ¡®If he doesn¡¯t offend me, I won¡¯t offend him. If he offends me, I will definitely return the favor.¡¯ Ji Lingchen had not cleared up the misunderstanding with Fang Xiaonuan, and he did not hide his disgust for her at all. ¡°Since your appearance, I feel that the air here has be polluted.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I have no choice. I can only live on Earth. Why don¡¯t you go live in space? Don¡¯t let my presence dissatisfy you,¡± she immediately retorted. She had never been patient when it came to insults. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I don¡¯t want to see you at all.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You can choose to stab yourself blind. That way, you won¡¯t be able to see me.¡± Since Ji Lingchen did not like her, and she did not like Ji Lingchen, why should she endure this? This was the conclusion Fang Xiaonuan had drawn. ¡°Hehe, so these are your true colors. I underestimated you.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a sneer as he spoke. ¡°Unfortunately, this is still another fake side of me because you don¡¯t deserve to see my true colors,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said and looked up at Ji Lingchen. ¡°Very well, I don¡¯t deserve it,¡± Ji Lingchen said slowly. Fang Xiaonuan felt a little uneasy. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was obviously angry when he said that. Although he had a smile on his face, it made her feel cold. However, Fang Xiaonuan still pretended to be fearless and did not let her fear show at all. The servant knocked on the door. It turned out that Old Master Ji was rushing them. Fang Xiaonuan took this opportunity to withdraw her gaze. Otherwise, if she continued to look at him, she was afraid that she would reveal the trace of fear she felt inside. However, Ji Lingchen saw everything. Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Holding Back Isn¡¯t Important Anymore

¡°Your acting is really mediocre.¡± Ji Lingchen still had a faint smile on his face, and his tone of voice was hard to understand. Fang Xiaonuan ignored him and went to change. When she finished burning the incense for her mother-inw and returned to her room, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly called out to Ji Lingchen. ¡°Shall we talk?¡± ¡°Why? Did your family already ask you to speak with me?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with interest. Fang Xiaonuan was a little surprised. ¡°My family?¡± Ji Lingchen was a little puzzled. Could it be that the Fang family did not tell Fang Xiaonuan about the materials? Ji Lingchen turned the tables and asked, ¡°What do you want to talk to me about?¡± ¡°Two things. First, when we return, you have to put on an act with me. Don¡¯t let my parents find out that we don¡¯t get along. That¡¯ll make them worry. If my parents find out that the two of us hate each other, they will definitely ask me to get a divorce. This will go against your father¡¯s wishes. Although I don¡¯t know how your father forced you to get married, once I argue for a divorce, I think you¡¯ll have a hard time. Second, I¡¯m not on good terms with your sister-inw. We¡¯ll move out. Continuing to stay here will worsen the internal conflicts in your family. Of course, if we move out, I know that you won¡¯t return home at night. However, even if you go to the brothel and get arrested by the police, since I¡¯m still your wife on paper, I¡¯ll personally go and get you. Furthermore, if you move out, no one will be able to say anything about whatever you want to do privately with Miss Lin. If necessary, I will also cover for you. In short, these two solutions are beneficial to us and won¡¯t cause us any harm, as long as you agree.¡± Ji Lingchen sized up his wife and said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, what makes you think that I will agree to it?¡± ¡°Because these two solutions don¡¯t do you any harm. Do I still need to give you time to think about it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan deliberately turned things around again and spoke very confidently. Ji Lingchen suddenly approached Fang Xiaonuan, and she subconsciously stepped back. ¡°Just say it directly whether you agree or not. Why are you walking towards me?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You¡¯re too short. You don¡¯t deserve to negotiate with me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head and looked at her own legs. She was not very short, but she appeared a little short in front of Ji Lingchen. ¡°If you don¡¯t agree, then fine. There¡¯s no need for a personal attack!¡± This was the first time Ji Lingchen was showing Fang Xiaonuan a knowing smile. It was as if he was happy that he had won the argument. It was a sincere smile that made him a little happy. After realizing what he had done, Ji Lingchen¡¯s face immediately turned cold. ...... He coughed lightly and took his suit jacket out. ¡°Hmph! Wearing a jacket in the middle of the summer. I¡¯ll strangle you to death, you idiot. I¡¯ll let you call me short,¡± Fang Xiaonuan shouted indignantly. When Ji Lingchen left the house, he saw the butler waiting at the door. ¡°Young master, the master has something important to tell you.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s important, I don¡¯t want to talk about it now. If it¡¯s not important, then we¡¯ll talk about it.¡± Ji Lingchen said. He was in a rare good mood and he said that knowing it would cause dissatisfaction. He swaggered out the door and got into the car. He still seemed to be in a good mood as he looked at the jacket he was holding. Then, he threw the jacket he meant to wear to one side. When Old Master Ji heard his own son¡¯s exact words, he was furious. ¡°Unfilial son! You never make things easy for me!¡± Ji Lingchen had been living on his own since he was a teenager. The father and son had gradually drifted apart due to their different views on certain matters. Apart from their unalterable blood rtionship, the two of them were like a pair of strangers. The butler said, ¡°Master, calm down. That¡¯s just the young master¡¯s personality. There¡¯s nothing we can do.¡± Ji Lingchen had already gotten used to being alone. He did not need other people to care about him, nor did he need the warmth of a family. These were things that he, who had been living alone ever since he was young, could not change for the time being. ¡°Forget it, forget it. I shouldn¡¯t have let him live alone outside in the first ce.¡± Old Master Ji sighed deeply. He turned around and looked at the scenery through the window. He seemed a little deste. The butler said, ¡°Master, don¡¯t me yourself. You are not to me for what happened back then.¡± ... Ji Lingchen returned to thepany. His assistant immediately entered the office. ¡°CEO Ji, why are you in such a hurry toe back to work? Aren¡¯t newlyweds supposed to go on a honeymoon?¡± Ji Lingchen continued, ¡°Has anyone from the Fang family contacted you?¡± The assistant said, ¡°No. Could it be that you really want to buy over the Fang family?¡± Ji Lingchen was very confused. He did not understand why the Fang family had not contacted him. Shouldn¡¯t the Fang family be using his identity to ask the Ji family for materials? ¡°Did the Fang family use ourpany¡¯s name to buy raw materials from otherpanies?¡± This was the only emergency n that Ji Lingchen could think of. Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Affectionate Address

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

The assistant shook his head. ¡°CEO Ji, I think I know what you want to know. This is also what I want to report to you. The Fang family has returned all the new projects they received in the past two days.¡± ¡°Something¡¯s wrong. Have you found out the reason?¡± The Fang family had returned the projects. Ji Lingchen had not expected this at all. The assistant said, ¡°The Fang family didn¡¯t provide an exnation to the public. I had people secretly contact the source of the raw materials, but Chairman Fang rejected them all.¡± Ji Lingchen waspletely unable to figure out what the Fang family¡¯s intentions were. Just as he was racking his brain, Fang Xiaonuan called. Ji Lingchen actually did not know that this number was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s. It was only after he subconsciously picked up the call and heard the malicious ¡°Uncle¡± that he recognized her voice. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan!¡± Ji Lingchen was a little angry when he heard this form of address. ¡°It¡¯s me, uncle. Your father wants you to go home. He said that he has something important to tell you.¡± Since he had already revealed his ¡°true colors,¡± it would be a little hypocritical for him to take it back now. Fang Xiaonuan gave Ji Lingchen an affectionate form of address ¡ª uncle. From his tone, it was clear that he did not like this form of address very much. Ji Lingchen held onto his phone and suppressed his anger. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, try calling me ¡®Uncle¡¯ again!¡± ¡°Uncle.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was in a good mood and immediately called him that. ¡°Now you¡¯re starting to listen to me.¡± Ji Lingchen gritted his teeth and enunciated every word. ¡°Uncle, uncle, why are you angry that I called you ¡®Uncle¡¯? Come back if you can!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mood was very good. She enjoyed the fact that Ji Lingchen disliked her but he could not do anything to her. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡®Hmph, this woman is really devious.¡¯ She was trying to goad him into going home. He refused to return. ...... Ji Lingchen hung up the phone. Not long after, Fang Xiaonuan called again, ¡°Tell me, what are you angry about! ! I¡¯m not angry that you called me short! But, you¡¯re angry that I called you uncle. You¡¯re such a man and you¡¯re still so narrow-minded. You won¡¯t lose out if I call you uncle, right, uncle? Hello? Ji Lingchen...¡± He hung up the phone again. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the phone screen and muttered to herself, ¡°Ugh! No way, no way. This man is really narrow-minded. So what if I call you uncle? I¡¯ll continue to call. I¡¯ll anger you to death.¡± Next, Fang Xiaonuan began making a series of angry calls. Ji Lingchen hung up immediately. If she called again, no one would pick up. She continued to call, but he was in the middle of another call. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°D*mn, he¡¯s cklisting me.¡± After realizing this, she went downstairs and picked up thendline to call Ji Lingchen. At this moment, Ji Lingchen was about to have a meeting when he saw that home was calling. He picked it up and put it to his ear, but the voice on the other end of the phone was that familiar voice that provoked him. ¡°Uncle, your father wants you toe back for something very important. Come back quickly, uncle...¡± ¡°Beep, beep, beep...¡± He hung up again. Not long after, Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang again. Ji Lingchen took a nce and picked it up immediately. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, are you courting death!¡± ¡°Ji Lingchen, why are you talking to your wife like that?¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s voice rang out. He had juste downstairs and saw his daughter-inw, who had just entered the house. She was using the living room phone to make a call, and when he went up to ask, he found out that Fang Xiaonuan was calling Ji Lingchen. She was doing it for his sake. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Dad, I heard that you had something to talk to Lingchen about, so I wanted him toe back.¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s gaze swept over Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s innocent eyes, and he liked her a little more. He indeed had something to say to Ji Lingchen. Thus, Old Master Ji took the initiative to call Ji Lingchen himself. He did not expect to hear Ji Lingchen¡¯s furious tirade as soon as he picked up the call. Thinking of Lin Rou¡¯s attempt at provocation, Old Master Ji became furious. ¡°Ji Lingchen, you have half an hour toe back and apologize to Nuannuan!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s loud scolding scared Fang Xiaonuan and she instinctively took a few steps back. She could not help but be curious. ¡®What exactly did ¡°Uncle¡± say to make Old Master Ji act this way?¡¯ She did not know what was said on the other end of the phone, but she saw Old Master Ji angrily hang up the phone. He said to his daughter-inw, who was trembling with fear, ¡°Nuannuan, don¡¯t worry. When Lingchenes back, I¡¯ll ask him to apologize to you!¡± ¡°Dad, there¡¯s no need,¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Within half an hour, Ji Lingchen had indeede home. The moment he entered the door, he saw Fang Xiaonuan, who was hiding behind Old Master Ji. At this moment, through his eyes, it seemed like this woman was deliberately acting pitiful in front of his father. Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Changing Your Face Faster Than Flipping a Page

Seeing Ji Lingchen return, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s thoughts changed. She smiled and went forward to greet him. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re back.¡± After all, she was the one who had provoked him first. Fang Xiaonuan was very sensible at this time. Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who had changed her face faster than one could flip a page. Fire burned in his chest. Earlier, she had called him ¡®Uncle¡¯, but now she was calling him ¡®Hubby¡¯? ¡°Hubby, I was wrong.¡± Seeing that Ji Lingchen was not paying attention to her, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s attitude was still impable. She spoke with a smile and lookedpletely harmless. No one could find fault with her in this moment. ¡°Stay away from me!¡± Seeing that Fang Xiaonuan was approaching with ¡°bad intentions¡±, Ji Lingchen could not help but speak up. ¡°Ji Lingchen, did your father teach you to bully your wife like this?¡± Old Master Ji got angry and yelled at Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen nced at Fang Xiaonuan, then walked around her and sat on the sofa. ¡°My time is precious. If you have something to say, say it!¡± ¡°Apologize to Nuannuan!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s voice did not be softer. It was clear that he was quite angry. Ji Lingchen¡¯s sharp, eagle-like gaze was trained on Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan felt guilty under his gaze. At the same time, she was thinking about why Old Master Ji kept asking Ji Lingchen to apologize to her. It did not seem like anything had happened! ¡°Dad, don¡¯t be angry. Family members should not hold grudges. There¡¯s no need for Lingchen to apologize to me. Since he¡¯s back, you guys can chat. I¡¯ll go back to the bedroom first.¡± After all, she was the one who had offended Ji Lingchen. Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to stay any longer. She simply took over the conversation and quickly fled the scene. After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan ran upstairs. Fang Xiaonuan, who had returned to her room, heaved a sigh of relief. If looks could kill, she felt as if she had been dismembered thousands of times by Ji Lingchen. She reflected in her bedroom, and after a while, she understood a lot more. First of all, if she wanted to survive in the Ji family unscathed, the most obvious thing she had to do was make sure she did not offend Old Master Ji. Old Master Ji could be said to be her backer. Her childish actionsst night had already challenged Old Master Ji. If he found out today that she called his son ¡°Uncle¡±, she would be finished. He would be very furious. No matter how uncontroble Ji Lingchen was, he would still reluctantlyply under the threat of Old Master Ji. Therefore, Old Master Ji was a person who should not be provoked at all. ...... There was also Ji Lingchen. This person was too narrow-minded. She could not provoke him all the time. It was fine to be angry at him every few days. If she was angry all the time, she would not have an easy time in the future. She had thought it through, but the reality was that with her fiery temper, it was hard for her to stay calm when provoked. Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Fang Xiaonuan immediately recollected her thoughts and greeted Ji Lingchen. ¡°Hi, uncle!¡± Ji Lingchen had never met a woman like Fang Xiaonuan. Not only did she change her expression so quickly, but she was also not afraid of him at all. The way she challenged his authority was simply infuriating. He approached Fang Xiaonuan and suddenly raised his hand to pinch the back of her neck. ¡°Ah... You can¡¯t afford to y. Youunched a sneak attack!¡± He pinched Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s neck, and his strength was so great that she could not move at all. ¡°Ji Lingchen, let go of me!¡± Even though she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Fang Xiaonuan did not show any signs of weakness. Her hands were tightly clutching the palm of Ji Lingchen¡¯s other hand. Ji Lingchen had one hand clutching the back of her neck, and she was unable to break free. Both of them were not feeling well at the moment. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°What exactly did you say to the old man?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t asked you what you said. What did you say that made your father so angry that he wanted you to apologize to me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not raise her head, but her grip was not weak at all. Both of her hands were tightly pressed against the palm of Ji Lingchen¡¯s other hand. The two of them were too stubborn to give in now, and both of them felt a little wronged. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan was the first to speak. ¡°How about this! You agree to my two requests, and I won¡¯t call you uncle anymore. After we move out, we¡¯ll stay out of each other¡¯s way. Is that okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let go of your hand first. If you let go, I¡¯ll take it as your agreement.¡± From this angle, Fang Xiaonuan could not see Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression. To show her sincerity, she let go of his hand first. ¡°You¡¯re really smart.¡± Ji Lingchen understood that Fang Xiaonuan was beating around the bush to get him to agree to her request. In other words, she knew that he could not hold her like this forever. So as long as he let go, it meant that he was agreeing to her request. Ji Lingchen did not expect that he would get tricked by a little girl when he was so invincible in the business world. He let go of Fang Xiaonuan, which meant that he was agreeing to her two requests. Chapter 12

Chapter 12: You¡¯re Disgusting

Fang Xiaonuan had finally achieved her goal. She stretched her neck and nced at Ji Lingchen¡¯s hand from the corner of her eye. The nail marks she left on it were clearly visible. It indeed looked a little tragic. Ji Lingchen¡¯s thoughts had already drifted far away. He did not know what to think anymore. ... The day to return home arrived as scheduled. Fang Xiaonuan had already packed up early in the morning and was waiting for Ji Lingchen to appear. The moment she saw him, she could not help but say, ¡°Remember what you promised me.¡± Ji Lingchen ignored her. Instead, he ced all the gifts that he had prepared at home into the trunk of the Maybach. The Fang family¡¯s house was more than an hour¡¯s drive from the Ji family¡¯s residence. On the way, Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to behave well. She could not give Ji Lingchen any reason to embarrass her in front of everyone. Ji Lingchen nced at Fang Xiaonuan from the corner of his eye. He thought to himself, ¡®It¡¯s so quiet now. She¡¯s sodylike. I can even stare at her.¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ji Lingchen, drive properly. Why are you looking at me like you have nothing else to do?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You¡¯re making me sick.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not say anything else and forced herself to endure it. An hour passed in the blink of an eye. The Maybach was already approaching the Fang residence. Fang Xiaonuan immediately saw her parents waiting to wee her at the door. She was a little nervous and looked at the man beside her. What if he did not keep his promise to her? The car stopped. Ji Lingchen unfastened his seatbelt and prepared to go to the trunk to pick up his things. Fang Xiaonuan was in a hurry. She originally wanted to grab Ji Lingchen¡¯s clothes, but she did not expect that she would grab his hand. ¡°Ji Lingchen, you have to remember what you promised me.¡± ...... ¡°In your eyes, am I that untrustworthy?¡± Ji Lingchen asked in return. ¡°I don¡¯t doubt you. I¡¯m just reminding you in case you forgot.¡± Fang Xiaonuan withdrew her hand and stepped away from the trunk of the car first. Beside the car, Fang Xiaonuan saw the familiar figures and smiled sweetly. ¡°Dad, mom, Lingchen and I are here.¡± Ji Lingchen went to the trunk to pick up the gifts. When he walked over and saw the expression on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face, he was slightly stunned. So, it turned out that a forced smile could still look so sincere. Ji Lingchen was deeply moved. The exchange of sincere smiles in his family were a luxury, but to her, it was a piece of cake. Fang Xiaonuan hugged her parents lovingly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s hands were full of gifts as he followed behind her. ¡°Quicklye inside. It¡¯s hot outside.¡± Mrs. Fang brought the two of them into the house. When they were in the living room, Fang Xiaonuan kept saying that her life was very good since joining the Ji family. ¡°Dad, mom, I¡¯ve finally realized the benefits of marrying someone. I¡¯m so free now that I¡¯m married. I can sleep for as long as I want, and Lingchen doesn¡¯t care.¡± Ji Lingchen could not respond to her, and it seemed unnecessary. He could only put on a smile to back up Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words. In reality, he had not even slept with her on the wedding night. In order to show her parents that she was really living well, Fang Xiaonuan pretended to be very good and her smile looked very real. Ji Lingchen felt that he should say something, so he asked, ¡°Dad, mom, where¡¯s Fang Hang?¡± Mrs. Fang replied, ¡°His semester isn¡¯t over yet.¡± Fang Hang was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s younger brother. He was sixteen years old and was studying abroad. His family had not told him about his sister¡¯s marriage. ¡°I heard from Xiaonuan that Fang Hang has always wanted toe back here for his university studies.¡± Ji Lingchen continued to chat with the Fang family. Fang Xiaonuan turned and looked at Ji Lingchen with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She had said that? ¡°That¡¯s true, but the pressure of the National College Entrance Examination is too great. It¡¯s harder here than it is abroad. We don¡¯t want him toe back for the time being,¡± Mrs. Fang continued. Her brother wanted toe back for the National College Entrance Examination? Why did she not know about this? ¡°Nuannuan, stop looking at Lingchen. Don¡¯t you see him enough at home. Come to the kitchen with me.¡± Mrs. Fang smiled as she brought her daughter to help her cook. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face instantly turned red. ¡°No, I wasn¡¯t.¡± After saying that, she was dragged away. Only Ji Lingchen and Fang Dong were left in the living room. They looked at each other, feeling annoyed and awkward. There was nothing much to say about personal matters, so Ji Lingchen took the initiative to ask about official matters. ¡°Dad, I heard that you¡¯ve rejected quite a few projects in a row. Is it because you don¡¯t have enough funds and materials? If it is, you can tell me.¡± Ji Lingchen was very puzzled, he looked at Chairman Fang, but he could not understand his thought process at all. ¡°That¡¯s not the case, Lingchen. You and I both know how these projects came about. Those people just want to curry favor with the Ji family and use the Fang family as a means to an end. To tell you the truth, the Fang family has sufficient funds and raw materials. I won¡¯t ept any of these projects,¡± Chairman Fang said, he paused and calmly drank some water. Chapter 13

Chapter 13: He Doesn¡¯t Love You

Ji Lingchen seemed to be deep in thought, but he did not say anything. Chairman Fang continued, ¡°If the Fang family epts these projects, in the eyes of the public, it would seem like we are selling women for glory. Thus, I didn¡¯t ept them. Not only will I refuse now, I will refuse in the future too. I¡¯m doing this to tell everyone that the Fang family will not rely on the Ji family, that we will only ept as many projects as we can. We would also like to convey to the Ji family that we will not use their reputation to receive any benefits. Please don¡¯t think of this marriage as business, and treat Nuannuan as an equal.¡± Ji Lingchen had never imagined that things would turn out this way. Mr. Fang¡¯s words made him feel somewhat ashamed. So, it turned out that the Fang family had not married off their daughter for the sake of glory and wealth. In fact, because they had agreed to let their daughter marry him, they had to deliberately avoid certain things. ¡°Dad, you love Nuannuan so much. Why did you agree to let Nuannuan marry me?¡± After hearing Mr. Fang¡¯s words, Ji Lingchen no longer suspected that the Fang family had ulterior motives. The doubts in his heart grew even more pronounced. His instincts told him that this was not a simple arrangement. After all, the two had never met before. The age difference was not insignificant, and they did not have a romantic foundation. In other words, Ji Lingchen understood why Old Master Ji would force him to marry Lin Rou. Mr. Fang said, ¡°Nuannuan hasn¡¯t told you about this yet?¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. Just as Mr. Fang was about to speak, Fang Xiaonuan came over and shouted, ¡°Dad, hubby,e and eat.¡± ... After the meal, Ji Lingchen patiently waited for Fang Xiaonuan to finish chatting with her parents. It was not until the afternoon that he left with the reluctant Fang Xiaonuan. When they left, Fang Xiaonuan sat in the passenger seat. She opened the window and looked at her parents as the car started moving. They gradually drove further and further away. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were moist and tears began to flow uncontrobly. Ji Lingchen sped up. He only slowed down when Fang Xiaonuan could no longer see the Fang family¡¯s vi in the rearview mirror. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were red. She did not say a word as she stared nkly out the window. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Do you usually talk that much when you¡¯re at home?¡± ¡°No! This is your first time visiting. It¡¯s also my parents¡¯ first time meeting their son-inw. I¡¯m a wife and daughter now. I was afraid that if I didn¡¯t make conversation, you and my parents would feel embarrassed,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said without hesitation. ...... This was the first time Ji Lingchen heard a girl call herself ¡°wife.¡± It was like a child calling himself an adult. He found it very interesting. On second thought, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words were not wrong. She was indeed his wife. ¡°Ji Lingchen, thank you for today.¡± ¡®Thank you for being willing to help me put on an act in front of my parents.¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan said thest sentence in her heart. After being married for three days, this was the first time they had a peaceful conversation. Today, Ji Lingchen was worthy of Fang Xiaonuan retracting her fangs and revealing her true colors. ¡°I will find out for myself.¡± It was not clear whether Ji Lingchen was saying this to Fang Xiaonuan or to himself. Today, his rtionship with Fang Xiaonuan and the Fang family hadpletely changed. They drove all the way to the Ji family¡¯s residence. The husband and wife were quite cordial, but as soon as they entered, they saw someone who should not have been there ¡ª Lin Rou. Fang Xiaonuan spoke just loud enough for Ji Lingchen to hear her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You¡¯ve helped me so much today. I¡¯ll definitely help you.¡± Ji Lingchen cocked his head and looked down at Fang Xiaonuan. At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan was also looking up at him. She blinked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Watch me.¡± Then, Fang Xiaonuan walked to Old Master Ji¡¯s side with a smile and said, ¡°Dad, we¡¯re back.¡± Old Master Ji instantly understood and pretended to yawn. ¡°It just so happens that I¡¯m also tired. Nuannuan, you¡¯re the hostess of the house now. You should handle the guests!¡± When Old Master Ji mentioned the word ¡®hostess¡¯, Lin Rou¡¯s expression changed. She understood that Old Master Ji was saying these words so that she would hear them. He was trying to tell her that it was impossible for her to be with Lingchen. ¡°Got it, Dad. I¡¯ll bring you upstairs first,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with a nod. ¡°No need. I can walk on my own.¡± Old Master Ji went upstairs with the help of the housekeeper. Fang Xiaonuan made no move to hide that she was sizing Lin Rou up. She was not bad looking, but she wore too much makeup. The branded bag she was carrying looked brand new, as if she had literally just bought it. The perfume she wore was a little too pungent. Noticing Fang Xiaonuan sizing her up, Lin Rou got up angrily. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, Lingchen doesn¡¯t love you.¡± ¡°I know!¡± They had not even met before they got married, so this was something Fang Xiaonuan already knew. Chapter 14

In other words, if Ji Lingchen really did like her, Fang Xiaonuan would get the shock of her life. She pointed at Lin Rou and said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°Dad is gone, you can go out with her!¡± After saying this, Fang Xiaonuan waved her hand and happily got ready to go upstairs. As soon as she stood up, she was met with Ji Lingchen¡¯s burning gaze. She did not know that since they had returned home, Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze had been fixed on her. ¡°You helped me when we were at my family¡¯s house, and now I¡¯ve helped you as well. Ji Lingchen, now we¡¯re even!¡± Fang Xiaonuan exined everything clearly and happily continued walking upstairs. Ji Lingchen watched her back until she disappeared. Lin Rou¡¯s gaze had been fixed on Ji Lingchen. When she saw that his gaze had been fixed on that woman, she was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. She pretended to be gentle as she tugged at the corner of Ji Lingchen¡¯s shirt. ¡°Lingchen, why did youe back sote?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Did you drink today?¡± Lin Rou saw that her sweetheart was being indifferent towards her and mistakenly thought that Ji Lingchen did not like her when she was drunk. She immediately shook her head. She promised, ¡°No. Since you don¡¯t like me drinking, I definitely won¡¯t drink in the future.¡± Ji Lingchen nced at the empty stairs once again. He turned around and said to Lin Rou, ¡°Let¡¯s chat.¡± Lin Rou shyly nodded and immediately followed him. Ji Lingchen led Lin Rou to the balcony outside the old residence and ordered the servants to brew a pot of tea. He politely ced the teacup in front of Lin Rou. Noticing Ji Lingchen¡¯s sudden politeness, Lin Rou felt a little uneasy. She took the initiative to ask, ¡°Lingchen, what do you want to talk about?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t waste your time on me. It¡¯s been years. If I had feelings for you, we would have been together a long time ago. I only treat you with kindness. You are already at the age where you can get married. If there¡¯s someone you like, you can try to get in touch with them.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s tone was still a little restrained. He could not speak ill of the woman in front of him. Hearing Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, Lin Rou¡¯s tears silently flowed down. She did not say anything, and only looked at Ji Lingchen pitifully. Perhaps she was testing whether he had feelings for her or not. ¡°You know about my situation. I¡¯m married now. If youe to my house to look for me in the future, it won¡¯t be good for you or her. If something urgentes up, just call thendline.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s words were clear and straightforward. He meant to help Lin Rou understand and he did not want to leave her with any confusion. Hearing that it would not be good for her, Lin Rou cried even more fiercely. Her makeup was starting to run. ¡°Are you referring to Fang Xiaonuan?¡± ...... Ji Lingchen did not reply. He only nced at her. Lin Rou reached out to grab his hand, but he picked up the teacup and dodged her grasp. She shook her head, crying, ¡°It¡¯s not like that, Lingchen. You said that you liked me. How can you say you were doing me a kindness? You didn¡¯t hesitate to buy Lingnan Group for me. You even saved my father¡¯spany. On your wedding night, you came to me instead of that woman.¡± ¡°I never said that I liked you. You are deceiving yourself and others. Buying Lingnan Group was something that thepany had spent half a year nning to do. Saving your father¡¯spany was to thank him for his kindness to me back then. It wasn¡¯t because of you that I didn¡¯t apany her on our wedding night,¡± Ji Lingchen said coldly. He did not like people who did not know their own limits. ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that. Didn¡¯t you admit that you liked me that night? You loved me, Lingchen. You loved me.¡± Lin Rou cried loudly, as if she wanted to get the rest of the Ji family¡¯s attention. ¡°I never talk to people who arepletely drunk,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Because Lin Rou was drunk that day, Ji Lingchen was not indulging her, nor was he tacitly admitting that he liked her. Rather, he did not like talking to drunk people. Ji Lingchen¡¯s cup was empty now, and he had already said what he needed to say. He asked Lin Rou to leave. ¡°It¡¯s hot outside, head home quickly!¡± After saying this, Ji Lingchen got up and went back into the room. Lin Rou had not moved yet, but she had been crying. She was crying pitifully, and her tears were heartbreaking. Ji Lingchen sighed and slowly walked upstairs. Fang Xiaonuan was a little surprised to see hime back. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go on a date with her? Why are you back so soon?¡± Ji Lingchen rolled his eyes at her and then went to the cloakroom. ¡°Tsk, you rolled your eyes at me again. Do that some more and you¡¯ll have only the whites of your eyes left,¡± Fang Xiaonuanined indignantly. In the courtyard, Feng Qi had just returned from a shopping trip when she saw Lin Rou crying. She ordered the servants to take her things back to the bedroom and then walked towards Lin Rou. Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Feng Qi¡¯s Weak Spot

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°Rou¡¯er, what¡¯s wrong? Who bullied you?¡± Feng Qi¡¯s face was full of concern. She walked over to Lin Rou¡¯s side and patted her shoulder. When Lin Rou saw Feng Qi, she felt like she was looking at someone from her own family. She wiped her tears and said, ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re finally back.¡± ¡°Rou¡¯er, why are you crying? What happened? Did Fang Xiaonuan bully you? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let her bully you.¡± Feng Qi looked around and saw that there were two teacups. She was certain that Lin Rou had been bullied, which was why she was crying so fiercely. Lin Rou shook her head. She could not tell Feng Qi what Ji Lingchen had said, so she stood up and stopped her. ¡°Sister-inw, no one bullied me. Don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. The two of them shouldn¡¯t be at home.¡± It made sense. Today was the day that Fang Xiaonuan and Lingchen were returning home. She could not tell whether they had even arrived yet. Feng Qi felt that she had been too impulsive. She had pushed the me onto Fang Xiaonuan. Before Feng Qi could finish her introspection, Lin Rou deliberately said, ¡°She¡¯s already back. Sister-inw, please don¡¯t stand up for me. She¡¯s not someone to be trifled with. She still ns to...¡± Lin Rou stuttered, then looked at Feng Qi with evasive eyes. Feng Qi had a one-track mind. Lin Rou¡¯s words made her angry and she continued to ask, ¡°What does she n to do?¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan ns to be the female head of the Ji family. Just now, she tried to curry favor with Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji said that you¡¯re too narrow-minded and that you aren¡¯t suitable to be the female head of the Ji family.¡± Lin Rou continued to stutter. Feng Qi¡¯s anger waspletely ignited. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she asked Lin Rou, ¡°Is that really the case?¡± ¡°Sister-inw, you mustn¡¯t tell her that I told you this. I¡¯m afraid that she will fan the mes with Mr. Ji. In the future, I won¡¯t be able to enter the Ji family¡¯s residence. Such a powerful and scheming woman like her isn¡¯t suitable to stay by Lingchen¡¯s side.¡± Lin Rou stopped crying, but she continued to sow discord. Lin Rou knew Feng Qi¡¯s weakness. Seeing that Feng Qi¡¯s anger had not reached its peak, she continued, ¡°Sister-inw, she¡¯s going to take the power of the Ji family away from you. It¡¯s obvious that she won¡¯t allow your son to have any shares of the Ji Corporation in the future. Sister-inw, the Ji Corporation belongs to the Ji family. Although I love Lingchen, I¡¯m not a greedy person. Lingchen has a share of the Ji Corporation, big brother has a share, and Ji Wen is the eldest grandson of the Ji family. He should have a share too. But there¡¯s nothing I can do. Now that Fang Xiaonuan is here, I¡¯m no longer allowed here without a prior invitation. You must be careful in everything you do.¡± Lin Rou had been friends with Feng Qi for many years, so she naturally understood her worries. Feng Qi¡¯s greatest fear was that the Ji Corporation would one day bepletely under Ji Lingchen¡¯s control, and that her son, Ji Wen, would no longer have a ce in it. Lin Rou deliberately said these words to Feng Qi, just to sow discord between her and Fang Xiaonuan. She knew that Ji Lingchen did not love her, but she just could not swallow this anger. ...... After saying these words, Lin Rou left the house, feeling wronged. Once Feng Qi could no longer see her, her face instantly changed. Her eyes, which had been red from crying, were now filled with viciousness. She definitely wanted to get Fang Xiaonuan kicked out of the Ji family. She wanted to use Feng Qi to make sure that the Ji family would never have peace. She wanted to chase away Fang Xiaonuan. She wanted to make Old Master Ji and Ji Lingchen regret it! As she thought this over, Lin Rou started the car and left. At dinner, Fang Xiaonuan had alreadypletely adapted to the Ji family¡¯s lifestyle. She washed her hands before eating. Feng Qi sat opposite her. No matter how she looked at Fang Xiaonuan, she still did not like her. She said, ¡°There are things in this world that I don¡¯t understand. Tell me, why did an ugly duckling sneak into the group of white swans and humiliate herself? Today, when I went out, I encountered an interesting incident. An ugly duckling snuck into the group of white swans in the park. It was really very funny.¡± When Feng Qi said this, her gaze never left Fang Xiaonuan. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was mocking Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s family background and insinuating something. After Fang Xiaonuan washed her hands, she sat quietly beside Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen nced at the silent girl beside him, then at his sister-inw across from him. He realized that the two of them were looking at each other. ¡°There¡¯s more! Mrs. Wang went out with me today. She brought her poodle along, and a dirty mutt approached us. It wanted to y with Mrs. Wang¡¯s poodle, but it really didn¡¯t have a discerning eye. It didn¡¯t even have the least bit of self-awareness. What a coincidence! That mutt¡¯s name seemed to be Xiao Fang. I almost bought that dog just so I could give it to Nuannuan!¡± Feng Qi saw that Fang Xiaonuan showed no reaction at all, so she continued. Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Predicting Your Prediction

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

It was not that Fang Xiaonuan could not hear the sarcasm Feng Qi was putting forth. She just did not want to waste everyone¡¯s time at the dining table. She did not want to argue with a person who did not have a proper outlook on life. However, Feng Qi had actually used her surname in her insinuations. She could not tolerate it anymore. Fang Xiaonuan had no patience for these remarks. She took a deep breath and shook her head. She said, ¡°Sister-inw, your words are really unpleasant. Ugh, you¡¯re clearly a human being. Why do you want to be a dog of the Wang Family? If you feel that it¡¯s glorious, then go ahead. Our entire family will be happy to have a beast that understands human nature.¡± Feng Qi was so angry that she could not take it anymore. She stood up and pointed at Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°You, you¡¯re disobedient. Are you courting death?¡± Feng Qi had been ndering her using insinuations. Fang Xiaonuan was being direct and unbearable. Ji Lingchen was shocked by Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words. This girl was not afraid of anything and she dared to say anything. She dared to insult Feng Qi. She had called her a beast in front of the family. Moreover, Ji Kangde was sitting next to Feng Qi. When everyone heard her words, their expressions turned ugly. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words were indeed unpleasant, but Ji Kangde was not deaf. This argument was indeed instigated by Feng Qi. ¡°Sit down, sit down. We¡¯re all a family. What¡¯s this noise about?¡± Ji Kangde did not say much. Instead, he was putting on a show. Logically speaking, Ji Lingchen should have said something at this time. If he stepped up to teach Fang Xiaonuan a lesson, this matter would be over. However, he did not seem to want to say anything. He deliberately did not say anything. He wanted to see how Fang Xiaonuan would resolve this matter. Feng Qi flew into a rage out of humiliation. She nced at the basin beside her and nned to ssh the water on Fang Xiaonuan. However, Fang Xiaonuan had already guessed what she was going to do when she approached the basin. Fang Xiaonuan stood up, picked up the basin, and sshed the water on Feng Qi. The water identally hit Ji Kangde, who was beside her. Fang Xiaonuan bowed politely. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, big brother. I identally sshed you.¡± Ji Kangde was at a loss for words. Ji Lingchen was speechless as well. ...... The two brothers were equally shocked at this moment. ¡°Ah! You b*tch, how dare you ssh me!¡± Feng Qi said angrily, soaking wet. ¡°I only predicted your prediction. You and I are both young madams of the Ji family. I¡¯m younger than you, but my status is not lower than yours,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said calmly. Then, she went back to her seat. Old Master Ji walked in with the butler. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he took note of the unusual atmosphere. As he walked closer, he realized that things were not as simple as they seemed. Fang Xiaonuan waited for Feng Qi toin, but she did not say anything. In any case, she was not the one in the wrong. Feng Qi had provoked her first. Feng Qi only shouted in exasperation and quickly left the restaurant. ¡°What happened?¡± Old Master Ji asked. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Sister-inw likened herself to a beast of the Wang family. I saw that she was a little confused about her position, so I helped her clear her head. She might have gone back on her word just now.¡± Ji Kangde nced at Fang Xiaonuan, then stood up and said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going to go follow Feng Qi.¡± He could not say anything at the moment. ¡°Is what Nuannuan said true?¡± Old Master Ji asked before Ji Kangde could leave. Ji Kangde did not answer and left the restaurant directly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze never left Fang Xiaonuan. He thought to himself, ¡®It seems that you still have the ability to lie and remain calm.¡¯ ¡°That¡¯s how it went,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said to Old Master Ji. Ji Lingchen then stood up and left without saying a word. He did not need to give a reason for his departure. Fang Xiaonuan realized that she and Old Master Ji were the only ones left at the dining table, so she stood up as well. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going to look for my husband.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan followed behind Ji Lingchen obediently. The two of them walked out of the door one after the other and went outside. A warm breeze blew past, blowing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hair into her face. The wind blew her skirt up as well. Then, the hem of her skirt slowly drifted down again. The man in a suit in front of them stopped when he sensed someone behind him. Fang Xiaonuan also stopped. ¡°Why are you following me?¡± Ji Lingchen turned around and asked. ¡°Ji Lingchen, let¡¯s move out! Didn¡¯t you promise me before?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were sincere, and her mood was not good. ¡°Do you see what happened today? If I stay at your house any longer, your family will be angry or hospitalized.¡± Seeing that Ji Lingchen did not answer, Fang Xiaonuan asked with pleading eyes, ¡°I¡¯m begging you, okay?¡± Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Why Don¡¯t You Sleep on the Bed?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

She really did not want to stay with the Ji family any longer. She did not like everyone here. Fang Xiaonuan could not handle living with the domineering Old Master Ji, the bored Feng Qi, and the unfathomable Ji Kangde. Ji Lingchen was her husband. Logically speaking, he should be the person closest to her in the Ji family, but he was the person the Ji family hated the most. Fang Xiaonuan thought about it. She realized that even renting a small apartment would be morefortable than staying in this mansion. Ji Lingchen could see Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s intense desire to escape. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t anger me into being hospitalized, the others can do as they please.¡± With that, the man left without a backward nce. At that moment, Ji Lingchen could never have imagined that he would, one day, be so angry that he would be hospitalized by the woman he had married. He was still thinking about how likely it was that Fang Xiaonuan could make his family so angry that they would be hospitalized. Letting her go out and livefortably was letting her off too easily. ¡®Marrying into the Ji family was not an easy thing, so how could she not ¡°enjoy¡± life with the Ji family?¡¯ Ji Lingchen thought to himself. In the restaurant, Old Master Ji listened to the servants¡¯ exnations with a dark expression. Because the servants of the Ji family had received professional training, he learned everything that happened without missing a single word. ¡°Are you sure that they really said that?¡± Old Master Ji asked the servants present. One of the servants nodded. ¡°Master, these are the exact words of the first and second young madam.¡± ¡°Take away the cutlery. You can all leave now!¡± Old Master Ji ordered with a frown. The crowd dispersed, leaving only the butler by his side. ¡°I just thought that she was very obedient and a little likable. I did not think that she would immediately do something that disgusted me.¡± The butler knew who he was talking about. Other than Fang Xiaonuan, who had just moved in, no one else fit the bill. The butler stayed neutral and said fairly, ¡°Master, this matter seems unusual to me. Although the first young madam has a prejudice against the second young madam, she would not normally publicly humiliate the second young madam. She would not say such degrading words without provocation. I think that someone must have said something behind her back. The second young madam¡¯s mistake was to directly insult the first young madam. In essence, it should not be like this. However, if we think from another perspective, the second young madam is a filial child. Otherwise, she would not even be here. The first young madam had insulted her family. She is young and impetuous, so it is only natural for her to have such a reaction.¡± Old Master Ji and Feng Qi had been inws for more than 20 years, and he had long regarded Feng Qi as his daughter. Therefore, when he heard the servant¡¯s words, Old Master Ji first med Fang Xiaonuan, who had just moved in. After all, parents would not think that their children were at fault. Fortunately, the butler of the Ji family was a shrewd person and had always been fair and just. He always analyzed and reminded Old Master Ji to see different perspectives so he could be alert. ¡°You¡¯re right. Go and investigate. Find out what Feng Qi has been doing recently, who she has met, and what she has said. If I find out that someone is deliberately trying to sow discord, I definitely won¡¯t let them off easily.¡± Old Master Ji agreed with the butler¡¯s words. He instructed the butler to investigate. ...... The butler said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go and investigate right away.¡± It waste at night, and no one in the Ji family had eaten that night. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s stomach was growling, but she did not dare to go down to look for food. She might as well starve until tomorrow. She made up the sofa, grabbed a nket and used a backrest as a pillow. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s clothes were still in her suitcase. She had never used the Ji family¡¯s cloakroom before. After changing into her pajamas, Fang Xiaonuan folded the clothes that she was going to wear the next day and ced them on the coffee table. She was ready to lie down and sleep. The bedroom door opened, and Fang Xiaonuan instantly sat up. She was extremely vignt. ¡°Ji Lingchen, why are you back?¡± The person who pushed open the door was the other owner of the room ¡ª Ji Lingchen. Ever since they got married, Ji Lingchen had never stayed in the new room. Usually, he came to this room to change his clothes. Presumably, he came back tonight to get his clothes. Thinking of this, Fang Xiaonuan calmed down. Shey back down on the sofa and prepared to rest. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You¡¯ve been sleeping on the sofa for the past few days?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Yeah, why?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at her in surprise. He had never thought that Fang Xiaonuan deserved to be mistreated. Instead of sleeping on the sofa, she had fashioned the sofa into afortable bed. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep on the bed?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°On our wedding night, we got into a fight. If I sleep on the bed again and make you sleep on the sofa, you might throw me out.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I never realized that you are afraid of me.¡± Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Beg Me

Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of you!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll throw you out?¡± Ji Lingchen was very confused. ¡°This is the third floor. I¡¯m not afraid of you, but I¡¯m afraid of being disabled. If you throw me out in a hurry when I¡¯m on the third floor, I¡¯ll lose my arms and legs.¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged her pillow and sat up. She looked at Ji Lingchen as she spoke. Ji Lingchen got up and walked to the bedside. He took off his watch, went to the cloakroom, and took his pajamas. Fang Xiaonuan heard his movements. She asked, ¡°You¡¯re not really sleeping here, right? What about your Rou¡¯er? You and I are in the same room. How are you going to exin this to your Rou¡¯er?¡± Ji Lingchen wanted to tell Fang Xiaonuan that there was nothing going on between him and Lin Rou, but then he thought about it. Why should he tell her? Ji Lingchen did not leave that night. He took a shower and went out to dry his hair. After drying his hair, he left again. Just as Fang Xiaonuan let out a sigh of relief, he came back. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the book in his hand. There were some words in a foreignnguage written on it. Ji Lingchen walked straight to the bed, lifted the nket, and sat down. He then got into bed. The lights in the room were turned off, leaving only the tablemp beside Ji Lingchen¡¯s bed. Fang Xiaonuan, who was on the sofa, had been staring at him for more than an hour. He looked up, meeting her gaze. ¡°Am I good-looking?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No.¡± He was just a little handsome. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Then why are you looking at me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan still did not avert her gaze. She asked curiously, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping in the study?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I have a bedroom and a bed. Why would I sleep in the study?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pressed the issue. ¡°But I¡¯m in your bedroom. The two of us are in the same room. This isn¡¯t appropriate. Besides, how are you going to exin this to your Rou¡¯er?¡± ...... Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Both our names are on the marriage certificate. Why do you think we¡¯re doing something bad?¡± As for Lin Rou, Ji Lingchen still did not say anything. Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. It was like he was saying that this waspletely appropriate. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly said, ¡°Ji Lingchen, don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re plotting against me. You¡¯re trying to sleep in the same room with me on purpose!¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, put away your unnecessary thoughts. I¡¯m not interested in a child.¡± Ji Lingchen continued to flip through the book he was holding, not even raising his head. What thoughts could Fang Xiaonuan be having? She just wanted to use this method to deliberately provoke Ji Lingchen so that he would leave the bedroom. If he was not here, she could sleep on the sofa or on the floor as she pleased. No one knew, but now that he was sleeping in this room, she felt uneasy. The room was quiet. The lights were slightly warm, and the central air conditioner was running. Every few minutes, she could hear the sound of a him turning the page. This sound was like a luby, and Fang Xiaonuan almost fell asleep listening to it. Her eyes were closed, and this was the first time she felt sofortable listening to someone turn pages. Suddenly, an unusual sound broke the silence. Then, the sound rang again. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face could not be any redder because the sound came from her stomach. ¡°Gulp...¡± Fang Xiaonuan pressed on her stomach with all her strength. Her stomach was really noisy, warning her that she was hungry. She thought, ¡®When I was hungry earlier, you werepletely quiet and now, you¡¯re making so much noise. You are absolutely horrible.¡¯ Her stomach made the sound again. ¡°Grr...¡± The man on the bed moved. He put the book aside, got out of bed, and walked to the sofa in his slippers. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hands were still pressed on her stomach. She was pressing down on it because she did not want it to grunt anymore. Ji Lingchen walked toward the sofa. He wanted to take this opportunity to mock Fang Xiaonuan, but he did not say anything. He turned around and left the room. Fang Xiaonuan heard the door close and immediately got off the sofa. She found a ss of water and gulped it down. She gulped down a few more sses of water. She wanted to stuff herself with water. By the time Ji Lingchen came back, she had already drunk four sses of water. She was full now. When their gazes met, she thought of her stomach growling just now. Her face turned red and she immediately ran to the sofa to cover her face with the nket. Ji Lingchen looked at the ss of water on the coffee table and guessed what she had done. He was holding a muffin and he walked towards the sofa. ¡°I have food here. Get up and eat,¡± Ji Lingchen said as he pulled away the nket covering Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face. Fang Xiaonuan did not hesitate as she stretched out her little hands to take the food from Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen suddenly felt disgusted. He deliberately raised his arms high and said, ¡°Beg me.¡± Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Can Drinking Water Really Fill You Up?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Fang Xiaonuan said to him, ¡°Well, the ancients said that we shouldn¡¯t eat food thates from other people¡¯s mouths.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. This little thing must have drunk a belly full of water, right? This made him angry. His original intention was to tease her, but he did not expect her to react like this. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ll put the muffin next to you. If you want to eat it, beg me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was still full of water. She pulled her nket over her head, wanting to go to sleep. However, she realized that Ji Lingchen was holding onto the nket. With her sharp ws, she pped the back of his hand a few times, causing it to turn red. Then, she forcefully pulled the nket away and covered herself with it, preparing to sleep. This little girl was really hitting him with all her strength. Ji Lingchen looked at the red marks on the back of his hand and thought to himself, ¡®Is she trying to murder her husband?¡¯ He ced the food on the coffee table, got up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep. If you¡¯re hungry, help yourself.¡± Ji Lingchen, who had always been arrogant, had be a bit more humble with her. However, he did not notice that until he turned off the lights and went to sleep. He also did not realize that he had already begun to let his guard down with Fang Xiaonuan. In the middle of the night, Fang Xiaonuan woke up a few times because she drank too much water. Ji Lingchen only managed light sleep. Every time she woke up, he could sense that Fang Xiaonuan was being very quiet. She did not want to wake him up, so she went to the bathroom without wearing her slippers. Once again, after Fang Xiaonuan fell asleep, Ji Lingchen got up to see if she had eaten anything. In the end, he realized that this stubborn girl really did not eat the muffin. Would drinking water really fill her up? Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who had fallen asleep again. She had kicked the nket to the ground. Ji Lingchen looked at her, deep in thought. ¡®If she was still here, she would be the same age as you this year. You¡¯re a sophomore this year... She would be a university student now, right?¡¯ ... The next morning, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ringtone woke the two of them up at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan struggled to get up from the sofa and took her clothes to the bathroom to change. Then, she crept into a small corner and pulled out her suitcase. She opened it on the ground, put her pajamas in, closed it, and locked it. Then, she ced the suitcase back in the small corner. Her actions surprised Ji Lingchen once again. He suddenly remembered that the cloakroom was filled with his things, and there wasn¡¯t a single thing of hers. Other than the cloakroom, there did not seem to be anything of hers in any corner of the room. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze fell on the few suitcase in the corner. Could it be that all of her things were still inside? Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, where did you put your clothes?¡± ...... Fang Xiaonuan pointed at the suitcase in the corner. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I didn¡¯t use your cloakroom and cab. They¡¯re all in there.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Ji Lingchen felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Fang Xiaonuan always made him feel like she was going to escape unscathed at any moment. Fang Xiaonuan casually replied, ¡°I don¡¯t want to use them.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan walked into the bathroom and started to wash up. Ji Lingchen was at the door, observing her through the mirror on the sink. He was very confused. What kind of girl was she? She seemed to have many faces. Some were arrogant, some were stubborn, some were sensible, and some were cute. However, if anyone bullied her, she would fight with them without any fear. However, she did not sleep in his bed. Instead, she slept on the sofa. Her act of keeping a distance between the two of them made a strong impression on him. Doubt was the prerequisite for curiosity. When curiosity was aroused, one would unconsciously want to deepen their understanding. When it came to wanting to understand a person, one would take the initiative to understand that person. That would be dangerous... Fang Xiaonuan very ufortable here. Every meal in the Ji family¡¯s house felt like a fishbone in her throat. When the two of them went downstairs, she said to Ji Lingchen again, ¡°Think about it. Let¡¯s move out and live together!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then, think about it carefully. Moving out is only good for us. There¡¯s no harm. You don¡¯t want to see me make your family angry, do you? You don¡¯t want to be bound by these rules, do you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan understood one thing. In the Ji family, only Ji Lingchen could help her move out. Even if she had the ability to rent a house, she could not do so. What daughter-inw would be allowed to rent a house after being married for only a few days? Moreover, she was married into the Ji family. The rules of the Ji family were strict, so they would not allow it. ¡°No one can restrain me at home. As long as you don¡¯t anger me, others don¡¯t care.¡± To put it bluntly, Ji Lingchen did not want to move out. He was deliberately letting Fang Xiaonuan experience life in the Ji family¡¯s old residence. Fang Xiaonuan was a smart person and immediately understood what he meant. Chapter 20

Chapter 20: A Book That He Had Flipped Through

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°Ji Lingchen, what do you mean? You¡¯re free and unrestrained here, but I feel like I¡¯m on a battlefield every day. Are you a real man? Let me tell you, if we continue to stay here, you will have to visit your family in the ICU.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said these things out of anger. She had a talent for making people angry, and that was something she taught herself when she was young. One day, she might not be able to help but anger the old man until he was admitted into the hospital. ¡°I¡¯d like to see how you¡¯ll make them so angry that they¡¯ll end up in the hospital,¡± Ji Lingchen said with interest. Old Master Ji had arrivedte at the restaurantst night. His daughter-inw, Feng Qi, had an argument with his second daughter-inw, Fang Xiaonuan. Today, he had woken up early on purpose. In order to maintain the peace of the family, he did not dare to bete. Seeing Old Master Ji arrive, Ji Lingchen turned to leave. Fang Xiaonuan and Old Master Ji exchanged awkward nces. Not long after, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, pointing in the direction Ji Lingchen had gone. She said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going to look for Lingchen.¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan quickly ran to catch up with Ji Lingchen. ¡°Am I being ignored again?¡± Old Master Ji turned to ask the butler when he saw the two of them disappearing in the distance. The butler did not answer this fatal question. Instead, he said something that Old Master Ji was more interested in. ¡°Master, the second young master, Ji Lingchen, slept in the new roomst night.¡± ¡°What? Lingchen stayed in the same room with Nuannuanst night?¡± Old Master Ji was a little surprised. Others might not know, but he knew Ji Lingchen¡¯s personality the best. Ordinary people would not be able to hold his attention. The butler nodded. Ji Lingchen had indeed stayed in the same room as Fang Xiaonuanst night. As for what was going on in the room, only the two of them knew. Old Master Ji looked very pleased. As for the dissatisfaction over being ignored earlier, it had already disappeared. He gazed in the direction of their departure, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. When it was time to eat, Old Master Ji sat at the head of the table. His gaze had been constantly shifting between Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan. At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan was talking to Ji Lingchen about wanting to move out. After all, Ji Lingchen had promised Fang Xiaonuan, thus, she seized this opportunity and started lecturing him. ¡°It¡¯s not good to go back on your words. Moreover, I can save you some trouble if you move out. You promised me that we¡¯d move out. You can¡¯t break your promise just because it¡¯s a verbal agreement...¡± Fang Xiaonuan keptining in a low voice, so no one could hear their conversation. She said a lot of things to Ji Lingchen that could not be heard. She only stopped to drink when her mouth was dry. ¡°I promised you that we¡¯d move out, but I didn¡¯t promise you when we¡¯d move out.¡± Ji Lingchen took the opportunity to interject. He did not know how a little girl could have so much to say. ...... Fang Xiaonuan was so angry that she did not know what to say after that. Deep down, she did realize the truth of that statement. Her curved willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her cherry-like little mouth was puffed up in anger. Ji Lingchen saw that Fang Xiaonuan was angry at him, and a rare smile appeared on his face. At this time, Old Master Ji, who had been staring at the two people, was very shocked. He looked back and forth between them, thinking to himself, ¡®The young ones¡¯ rtionship is indeed progressing fast... These two only slept together once...¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan slowly began to understand. Ji Lingchen would not let her move out of the Ji family¡¯s old mansion so easily. She pretended to be fierce and said, ¡°Hmph, just you wait. You¡¯ll definitely regret it!¡± Feng Qi and Ji Kangde arrived a littlete. The harmonious and warm atmosphere immediately disappeared. Feng Qi had been humiliatedst night, and with Lin Rou¡¯s provocation, her opinion of Fang Xiaonuan had been solidified. And when Fang Xiaonuan saw Feng Qi, she immediately became cautious, because she knew that Feng Qi would not pass up any opportunity to humiliate her. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes held a smile. He looked with interest at the girl beside him, who was preparing for battle. She was not afraid at all, and she looked directly at Feng Qi, who was sitting opposite her. Ji Kangde also noticed the strangeness between the two of them. In hopes of maintaining peace, he patted his wife¡¯s shoulder, indicating that she should not cause any trouble. But for some people, telling them to stop would only spur them on. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, Lingchen¡¯s true love is soft-spoken, unlike you.¡± Ji Lingchen was watching the show with relish, but he did not expect that it would involve him. His eagle-like sharp eyes immediately darted to Feng Qi. Feng Qi not only ignored Ji Lingchen¡¯s death stare, she also ignored Old Master Ji, whose expression was deeply unsatisfied. ¡°If she is his true love, then why didn¡¯t my husband marry her? Lin Rou is just a book that my husband has flipped through. That is Lingchen¡¯s past. Why point out the past? I don¡¯t care as long as he loves me now,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said very indifferently. Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Homesickness

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Feng Qi said, ¡°Hehe, Fang Xiaonuan, I advise you to be self-aware. Look at your whole body. The word ¡®cheap¡¯ is written on it. The Fang family cannot even measure up to one-tenth of the Ji family. You know very well how you married into this family. How can youpare to Rou¡¯er? The two of you arepletely different!¡± Fang Xiaonuan nced at Feng Qi, and then her gaze paused on Feng Qi¡¯s neck. She looked at the expensive ne, and said, ¡°Yeah! I¡¯m cheap, unlike you! That ne is worth tens of millions. Those who know about it know where the money came from. Those who don¡¯t know would think that big brother was embezzling and taking bribes!¡± ¡°Impudent!¡± Old Master Ji said sternly. In just a short while, he was so angry that his entire body began trembling. His eldest daughter-inw was extremely stupid although she was middle-aged, while his second daughter-inw was so young, yet so rude. One was talking about Lin Rou, whom he hated the most, while the other was daring enough to say such outrageous things. It was simply worrying. Ji Kangde¡¯s expression was not too good either. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, seeing that you¡¯re still young, I won¡¯t pursue this matter.¡± After saying this, he looked at Ji Lingchen and said, ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore. Take care of your woman.¡± Even though Ji Lingchen¡¯s felt uneasy, he still appeared calm on the surface. He replied, ¡°The same goes to my big brother.¡± ¡°In the future, no one is allowed to speak like this at restaurants. In the future, if anyone speaks like this again, they will have to get the h*ll out!¡± Old Master Ji gritted his teeth and dered. As soon as he finished speaking, the four people who had spoken earlier suddenly stood up and walked out of the restaurant at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan followed behind Ji Lingchen. She said, ¡°See for yourself. That¡¯s who I am. With me around, your family will not be peaceful.¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to dare to speak up.¡± Ji Lingchen stopped in his tracks and turned around to say. ¡°That means you¡¯re not ready to move out, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was about to explode from anger. She had deliberately said such outrageous words today to get Ji Lingchen to move out of the mansion with her. She did not expect this guy to be so stubborn. ¡°That¡¯s right. Anyway, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s angry at them, not me.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled wickedly. Then, he left the house and got into the car to go to work. It was over. She had offended everyone. Fang Xiaonuan clearly understood this. She returned to the bedroom and locked the door tightly. She sat on the sofa dejectedly. The more Fang Xiaonuan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She missed home. If her parents knew about her experience in the Ji family, they would definitely take her away without hesitation. She had not eaten anythingst night. This morning, she was even more hungry. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tears streamed down her face. ...... The hungrier Fang Xiaonuan felt, the more aggrieved she felt. Ji Lingchen¡¯s meaning was clear enough. He would not take Fang Xiaonuan away from the Ji family¡¯s residence. Fang Xiaonuan thought that she should not offend the Ji family again. She had not meant to infuse so much venom in her tone this morning to argue with Feng Qi. Instead, she wanted to make Ji Lingchen feel that she was capable of offending someone that much. That way, he would move out with her as soon as possible. But unexpectedly, she had offended Ji Kangde and Old Master Ji. Her goal had not been achieved yet. ¡®I¡¯ll stay for another ten days or so, then I¡¯ll find an excuse to go back to school. I better act more obedient in theing days!¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan thought to herself. Thus, for the next few days, Fang Xiaonuan barely left the bedroom. She tried her best to hide from all the Ji family members. She thought that she could continue hiding like this, but Feng Qi had humiliated her parents. On this day, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s father and mother were worried that their daughter would be treated poorly in the Ji family¡¯s home, so they wanted to visit their daughter. Before they came, they had bought expensive gifts. It was their first time visiting, so Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mother was a little embarrassed. She was worried that her words and actions would affect her daughter¡¯s situation in the Ji family. Feng Qi saw this and scoffed at her. Feng Qi received the two guests as the matriarch of the Ji family. When she saw the gifts they brought, she immediately expressed her distaste for them. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang wanted to see their daughter, so Feng Qi asked the servants to go upstairs and call Fang Xiaonuan down. However, Fang Xiaonuan was not called down. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang stood up and left without saying a word. Fang Xiaonuan only found out that her parents had juste when she went downstairs and saw Feng Qi stepping on the gifts that her parents had sent. Fang Xiaonuan stood behind Feng Qi and asked, ¡°Who sent these?¡± Feng Qi snorted. ¡°Hmph! They¡¯re as cheap as you are. Only your parents would give these sort of gifts. I just chased them away.¡± Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Who Attacked First?

¡°What did you say?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked through gritted teeth. ¡°Ah, I said that your parents wanted you toe and visit. Unfortunately, I scolded them and chased them away,¡± Feng Qi said triumphantly. She was just relishing what she was saying. Earlier, she had not been very polite but she also did not chase them away. Fang Xiaonuan kicked Feng Qi in the stomach. Everyone was stunned. Feng Qi fell to the ground. The servants quickly went forward. One held Fang Xiaonuan back, and the other helped Feng Qi up. Another quickly went to inform the men at home. Everyone in the Ji family knew one thing. The two youngdies of the Ji family were not on good terms. The two of them would quarrel almost immediately when they met. However, no one expected that the two of them would actually fight this time. Fang Xiaonuan pushed away the servant who was blocking her and went forward to fight with Feng Qi. Feng Qi wed at Fang Xiaonuan like crazy, and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind was only filled with what Feng Qi had said just now. The two of them were in a fierce fight. Fang Xiaonuan thought that she would be fine with being mistreated. For the sake of the family¡¯s business, she had married a man she did not know. Not only was she living a miserable life, but now her parents were also suffering. Her eyes reddened, and she once again pinned Feng Qi down on the ground. Old Master Ji was the first to hear themotion. He immediately rushed over, and when he saw the two people fighting, he ordered the servants to separate them. The few servants did not dare to go forward, and the two Ji brothers who happened to hear themotion entered the house at the same time. When they saw Fang Xiaonuan push Feng Qi to the ground, they hurriedly ran over. His little wife¡¯s explosive strength shocked Ji Lingchen once again. He did not expect that not only did she have a vicious mouth, but she was also ruthless. Ji Lingchen ran over and directly picked up his wife, who was already beating someone up. Ji Kangde also hurriedly helped his wife up, who was lying on the ground. With a worried expression, he asked, ¡°Feng Qi, are you okay?¡± Ji Lingchen felt the girl in his arms trembling and crying. Her boiling hot tears fell onto the back of his hand. Old Master Ji roared, ¡°This is crazy! They¡¯re all f*cking crazy!¡± Old Master Ji was furious. Everyone knew that someone was going to suffer. Feng Qi¡¯s confidant immediately said to Old Master Ji, ¡°Master, it was second young madam who hit first young madam earlier. We all watched from the sidelines. We can all testify to it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan broke free from Ji Lingchen¡¯s hold and red at him. ¡°This is what you wanted to see, right?¡± ...... ¡°Old Master Ji, I won¡¯t let the matter of my parents being mistreated today go to waste,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said to Old Master Ji. She did not even call him father anymore. Instead, she called him Old Master Ji, which made him slightly unhappy. Fang Xiaonuan walked towards the ruined gifts on the ground. Some of the boxes had been ruined by Feng Qi. With tears in her eyes, she carried a few of them upstairs to her bedroom. Seeing that something was wrong, Ji Lingchen immediately followed her upstairs. Although Old Master Ji was furious, he could tell that something was wrong. He pointed at the gift boxes on the floor and asked the butler beside him, ¡°What happened?¡± The butler nced at Feng Qi and said, ¡°Today, Mr. and Mrs. Fang missed the second young master¡¯s wife, so they came to visit. It was the first young master¡¯s wife who received them.¡± The butler was a smart person. There were some things that he did not know. Although he could guess at what happened, he only said what he knew. Old Master Ji looked at Feng Qi, who had been beaten ck and blue by Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°What did you do?¡± Feng Qi narrowed his eyes and saw the anger in her father-inw¡¯s eyes. She was a little scared. Ever since Fang Xiaonuan entered the house, the Ji family had not been peaceful. Fang Xiaonuan returned to the bedroom. She wiped the gifts that her parents had brought and ced them in the corner. Ji Lingchen then entered the room and asked, ¡°What happened between you and sister-inw?¡± Fang Xiaonuan ignored Ji Lingchen and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She only came out after ten minutes. During this time, Ji Lingchen had been quietly sitting on the sofa, waiting for her toe out. Ji Lingchen saw that she did not want to bother with him, so he got up and left. Ji Lingchen went back downstairs and called for the maid who had spoken first. She was the one who had immediately reported that Fang Xiaonuan had hit her when she saw Old Master Ji appear. Ji Lingchen looked down at the obedient maid and asked in a cold voice, ¡°Who attacked first?¡± ¡°It really was second young madam who attacked first. Young master, many people saw it just now. It was indeed the second young madam who attacked the first young madam,¡± the maid replied nervously. There was no doubt that the servants of the Ji family were afraid of Ji Lingchen. Although he was not at home all year round, the servants in the family understood his temperpletely. They all knew that he was cold and ruthless. No one could do anything to him. He could even defy Old Master Ji. No one dared to provoke him. Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Are You Trying to Excuse Her?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Ji Lingchen said in a low voice, ¡°She has been safe and sound in the Ji family for many days. Why did she fight today?¡± The maid said, ¡°Young master, I really don¡¯t know about this.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out that you are lying. No one can bully my people except me.¡± Ji Lingchen warned them and went directly to the monitoring room. He got hold of all the living room surveince videos and watched them from beginning to end. An hourter, Old Master Ji had a rough idea of the whole situation. He mmed the cane in his hand onto the ground. It immediately broke into pieces. A piece of debris bounced andnded near Feng Qi¡¯s feet, giving her a fright. Old Master Ji was very angry. He got off the sofa. His breathing was a little irregr. He was so angry that his face and ears were red. He pointed at Feng Qi but could not say a word. Seeing this, Ji Kangde immediately stood up andforted Old Master Ji. ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll teach Feng Qi a lesson. Please don¡¯t jeopardize your health because you¡¯re angry. Feng Qi already knows that she was wrong.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll teach her a lesson? Hmph, Feng Qi, you¡¯ll apologize to the Fang family tomorrow,¡± Old Master Ji said, pointing at Feng Qi. Feng Qi said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m not going. I won¡¯t go even if you beat me to death.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Either apologize, or get the h*ll out of our family!¡± When Old Master Ji said this, everyone in the living room was stunned, and Feng Qi started sobbing uncontrobly. She thought about how she had been in the Ji family for so many years, but could not measure up to a daughter-inw who had just moved in. She felt a little indignant. ¡°Fine...¡± Feng Qi turned around and ran out. She was definitely very angry. Old Master Ji was so angry that he had to sit down again. With a serious expression, he said to his eldest son, ¡°Tomorrow,e with me to the Fang family to apologize.¡± Ji Kangde could not refuse his father¡¯s request, so he had no choice but to agree. After watching the surveince videos, Ji Lingchen returned to his bedroom. He pushed open the door and saw a big bump behind the curtain as soon as he entered. He knew immediately that someone was hiding behind the curtain. He could hear her. Fang Xiaonuan tried to calm down. She called her parents and said, ¡°Dad, I just got home. I heard that you and mom came by today. Why did you leave in such a hurry? Why didn¡¯t you wait for me toe back?¡± ...... He did not know what the reply was on the other end of the phone. Fang Xiaonuan smiled and said, ¡°Aww, don¡¯t you know me? I can¡¯t be bullied. Staying at home was too boring, so I thought of going out for a walk. I didn¡¯t expect that you old folks woulde to see me. Seriously, you two should have called me!¡± Ji Lingchen deliberately walked slower. He did not make any sound as he walked. He walked to the sofa and sat down, listening to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s conversation with her family. ¡°Ah? You mean Lingchen! He¡¯s been very good to me. Today, he was the one that suggested I go out more since I was bored. Old Master Ji is also very good to me. He looks fierce on the surface, but he¡¯s actually been taking care of me. He knew that I was having trouble adjusting to life here, so he sent a few servants to take care of me! Big brother and sister-inw are also great. Although sister-inw can be a little cynical, she is good to me. The Ji family has many rules. You know that I don¡¯t like to learn rules, so sister-inw taught me a lot. She would asionallyin, but it was mainly because I wasn¡¯t paying attention. As for big brother, I don¡¯t spend much time with him. After all, he¡¯s busy with business. Dad, mom, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m doing quite well here. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯ll go home to see you in a few days.¡± As Fang Xiaonuan spoke, tears silently flowed down her face, she was afraid that they would see through her act if she continued talking, so she quickly hung up. Ji Lingchen heard Fang Xiaonuan talk about everyone in his family. He felt an unprecedented sense of shame. A person in histe twenties was bullying a young girl in her early twenties. At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan pulled open the curtains and interrupted his thoughts. ¡°When did youe in?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a little shocked to see him on the sofa. ¡°Just now.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s small face and could not say anything harsh. Moreover, he had seen the video and now knew what had happened. Ji Lingchen deliberately copied the video onto his phone. He took the video from his phone and walked toward Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°I hope you can take a look at it first. It didn¡¯t happen like she said. She did show some disrespect toward your parents, but she did not order anyone to drive them away like she said.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not watch the video. She seemed like a frightened kitten who felt unsafe. She looked up at Ji Lingchen. ¡°Are you trying to excuse her?¡± Chapter 24

Chapter 24: You Are My Legitimate Wife

¡°I don¡¯t have to. In the end, you are my legitimate wife. I have to protect you, but you have to know the whole story.¡± Ji Lingchen said patiently, and handed the phone to Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan took Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone, took a deep breath, and pressed the y button. ... Feng Qi left the Ji family¡¯s house, crying. As soon as she walked out the door, she stopped and turned around. She did not see her husband chasing after her, which made her even angrier. It was all Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s fault! If it were not for her, she would not have been scolded by her father-inw, and would not have ended up being chased out of the family. She unlocked her phone and saw Lin Rou¡¯s note. Feng Qi thought of the rtionship between Lin Rou and Ji Lingchen, and her eyes lit up. Soon, she made up her mind. Since Fang Xiaonuan was giving her a hard time, she definitely would not let Fang Xiaonuan have it easy! Not long after, Lin Rou drove over to pick up Feng Qi. The moment she saw Feng Qi, Lin Rou was a little surprised. ¡°Sister-inw, what happened to you? Were you bullied by that scheming woman, Fang Xiaonuan?¡± Her words sounded casual, but Lin Rou knew that they were like thorns deeply embedding themselves in Feng Qi¡¯s heart. In the Ji family¡¯s residence, Fang Xiaonuan watched all the videos of her parents¡¯ discussion with Feng Qi. Then, she returned the phone to Ji Lingchen.?¡°Although she didn¡¯t go as far as she said, I can¡¯t forget her distaste and disgust. I don¡¯t regret fighting with her. I think I did the right thing.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m not saying that you did the wrong thing. It¡¯s only right and proper to protect your parents under these circumstances, but you have to understand...¡± Before Ji Lingchen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°There are no buts. I¡¯ll hit anyone who mistreats my family. If you mistreat my family, I won¡¯t let you off either.¡± ¡°Pfft, hahaha...¡± Hearing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words, Ji Lingchen immediatelyughed out loud. ¡°Just you? You really have a big mouth.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said very seriously, ¡°I¡¯m not messing with you. My family is the line you can¡¯t cross with me.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Mypany¡¯s capital makes tens of millions every minute. How free do you think I have to be to mess with your family?¡± ...... Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°This is a kind reminder. Don¡¯t me me for saying that I don¡¯t care about our rtionship if I hit you in the future.¡± Her words made Ji Lingchen feel happy. He was a grown man, yet he was being kindly reminded by his petite wife...that he might be beaten up in the future. It was interesting just thinking about it. Fang Xiaonuan was no longer so angry. It was probably because she had watched the video and knew that her parents had not suffered much. ¡°Nuannuan, why do you have two faces?¡± Ji Lingchen could not help but ask. She had a sharp tongue and refused to ept any grievances. She even dared to quarrel with Old Master Ji and fight with Feng Qi. However, when she called her parents just now, she was like a typical girl next door who spoke softly. She could speak gently and smile sincerely. She could also lie without blushing. Her small mouth was so venomous that you could not resist it. At this moment, Ji Lingchen did not realize that he had unknowingly developed a strong interest in Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan answered him. ¡°One is for our own people, and the other is for strangers. Isn¡¯t everyone like this? Aren¡¯t you the same?¡± He had never been patient with the wife that was forced upon him. He even watched her get bullied and mistreated. However, towards Lin Rou, he was affectionate, gentle, and meticulous. At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan did not realize that she was already beginning to feel sour about that. Ji Lingchen mistakenly thought that Fang Xiaonuan was talking about the difference in how he treated businessmen and how he treated family, so he smiled and nodded, replying, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes internally, but she only dared to retort in her heart. ¡®Marrying someone else when you love someone else. Scumbag!¡¯ That night, Feng Qi did not return to the Ji family¡¯s home. Ji Kangde went to her mother¡¯s house to search for her, but to no avail. He got someone to investigate and easily found out that she was at the Lin family¡¯s home. Ji Kangde had no choice but to go to the Lin family¡¯s home. Director Lin weed his arrival very much. Director Lin had invited Ji Kangde over many times and wanted to sit down with him for a meal, but he never gave him the time of day. Today, his daughter brought home the mayor¡¯s wife. He had to seize this opportunity. ¡°Mayor Ji, pleasee in.¡± Director Lin invited him into the room. In Lin Rou¡¯s bedroom, Feng Qi wasining about her experiences in the Ji family. Lin Rou was mocking her in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She held Feng Qi¡¯s hand. ¡°This Fang Xiaonuan is going too far!¡± she said. Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Older, the Wiser

These words really struck Feng Qi¡¯s heart. She felt even more wronged, so she added fuel to the fire and said a lot of bad things about Fang Xiaonuan. Lin Rou heard all of them and felt that she was even more certain of victory. A woman who dared to openly hit someone in the Ji family was not worthy of Ji Lingchen. ¡°Sister-inw, this Fang Xiaonuan is relying on Old Master Ji to support her. She thinks of herself as the mistress. You must not let this slide. Sister-inw, you can¡¯t let Fang Xiaonuan stay in the Ji family any longer. Even if you don¡¯t think of yourself, you have to think of Ji Wen. If Fang Xiaonuan takes over the Ji family one day, Ji Wen will definitely not have a ce in it. You have to fight back!¡± Lin Rou rolled her eyes, she continued to sow discord. ¡°Rou¡¯er, you¡¯re right. This new daughter-inw really thinks that she is the matriarch of the Ji family. I will definitely retaliate. As long as I¡¯m still in the Ji family, Fang Xiaonuan, will never be able to live in peace!¡± Feng Qi, who had been hesitating a moment ago, now had a firm look in her eyes. Her tone of voice had changed. Lin Rou said, ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t worry. I will always support you!¡± At this time, a servant knocked on the door. ¡°Miss, Mayor Ji is here. He said that he¡¯s here to pick up his wife.¡± Hearing the servant¡¯s words, Feng Qi got off Lin Rou¡¯s bed in surprise. Just as Feng Qi was about to leave, Lin Rou stopped her. ¡°Sister-inw, can you stay here tonight? The two of us can have a proper conversation and we¡¯ll convey to big brother that you¡¯re not an easy person tofort.¡± Feng Qi was tempted to stay after hearing Lin Rou¡¯s words. However, she thought about how her husband had personallye to look for her and realized that she should go to meet with him at least. She had to care about his pride. Feng Qi said, ¡°I¡¯ll go out and tell him.¡± Lin Rou¡¯s eyes were filled with worry, and her voice was trembling as she said, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m worried that Fang Xiaonuan will have brainwashed big brother. If you meet with him, big brother will bully you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. He won¡¯t.¡± Feng Qi still had this bit of confidence, so she walked straight out. As soon as Feng Qi appeared, Ji Kangde stood up and said to Director Lin, ¡°Sorry to bother you, Director Lin. This isn¡¯t a ce to talk about business. It¡¯s gettingte, so I¡¯ll take my beloved wife home first. If you¡¯re free tomorrow, juste to my office and look for me. The door to my office is always open.¡± Mayor Ji did not give Feng Qi a chance to speak. He went up and put his arm around her shoulders. His fingers tightened slightly, reminding her not to stir up trouble again and to be obedient. ¡°Honey, I want to stay and talk with Rou¡¯er tonight,¡± Feng Qi said. ...... Ji Kangde said, ¡°There will be plenty of time in the future. It¡¯s toote today. Why do you need to stay at her ce? Let Rou¡¯ere to our house to apany you another day.¡± He did not agree with his wife¡¯s wishes. He did not give anyone a chance to persuade her to stay either. He held onto Feng Qi¡¯s arm until he pushed her into the car. After Feng Qi got into the car, she wanted to get out, but she was hugged by Ji Kangde. He pulled his wife over so that she would sit properly and let the chauffeur drive them to the hotel. He knew that his wife was angry and that she did not want to go home, so he stayed at the hotel with her. When they reached the hotel, Feng Qi sat on the bed and cried bitterly. ¡°I was clearly the one who was injured. Why are all of you siding with her?¡± ¡°How old are you? You¡¯re an adult, yet you¡¯re fighting with a twenty-year-old girl over jealousy. You¡¯re both at fault for what happened today. Stop crying and rest well.¡± In the end, Ji Kangde did not have the heart to say such harsh words to his wife. He could onlyfort her. Lin Rou¡¯s words echoed in Feng Qi¡¯s mind like a line from a movie. She struggled for a long time, but in the end, she still spoke with resentment. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m old. I¡¯m not as calctive as her. Isn¡¯t she just trying to push me away so she can be the mistress of the Ji family? I just can¡¯t live up to her wishes. The older the ginger, the spicier it is after all!¡± Ji Kangde was sitting next to Feng Qi. Hearing her say this, he felt that something was amiss. ¡°Who told you that Nuannuan wants to be the mistress of the Ji family?¡± Ji Kangde also participated in setting up the marriage between Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan. In the beginning, that little girl deliberately pretended to be ugly so that she would not have to marry into the Ji family. In the end, she was forced to marry his younger brother under the threat of his father. How could she want to be the matriarch of the Ji family? There must have been a misunderstanding. Feng Qi and Ji Kangde had been married for many years, and their rtionship was strong. She had never hidden anything from her husband, so she told him everything that Lin Rou had said to her that day. ¡°Listen. What else do you dare to say? If she bes the matriarch of the Ji family, with her arrogant and despotic personality, do you think Ji Wen will still have a ce in the family down the line?¡± Feng Qi had a one-track mind. If she did not, Lin Rou could not have led her on so easily. Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Wishing She Hadn¡¯t Failed to Live Up to His Expectations

Mayor Ji frowned after hearing his wife¡¯s words. With a straight face, he said to his wife, ¡°Feng Qi, you are not allowed to have any contact with the Lin family in the future.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Feng Qi saw his wife¡¯s injured face, which had yet to recover. He swallowed the words of me that were about toe out of his mouth and looked at his wife with a gaze full of heartache. ¡°Silly, you are being used without knowing it.¡± ... The next day, Fang Xiaonuan woke up early. Ji Lingchen, who was lying on the bed, also got up. ¡°Nuannuan, if you want to go to your parents¡¯ house today, I¡¯ll send you there.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going. My parents will suspect something is wrong if I go back too often.¡± Fang Xiaonuan stuffed her pajamas into the suitcase. It had been the same for the past few days. Ji Lingchen wanted her to put her clothes in the cloakroom, but he swallowed his words. He did not stop her from using the cloakroom. During breakfast, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji were not at the table because they were not home. After Old Master Ji found out about yesterday¡¯s issue. Although he was dissatisfied with Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s behavior, he did not reprimand her. At the dining table, no one said anything. In the morning, Lin Rou made a trip to the Ji family¡¯s residence. Old Master Ji felt annoyed, so he asked someone to chase her away. At noon, Feng Qi returned. This time, she looked at Fang Xiaonuan with a sharp gaze. That was a promise. She was certain that she could not handle her sharp gaze. When Old Master Ji saw that his eldest daughter-inw, whom he had lived with for more than twenty years, had returned, his attitude was much better. Moreover, he did not mention the matter of Feng Qi going to the Fang family to apologize. After all, the eldest son was the mayor, and the eldest daughter-inw was the mayor¡¯s wife. If one of them were to apologize to rtives who were onlymoners, it would hurt the Ji family¡¯s pride. Therefore, Old Master Ji wanted to let this matter blow over quietly. ...... The Ji familypletely let this matter pass, but Fang Xiaonuan was stubborn. She always remembered this. Two dayster, Feng Qi¡¯s injuries had recovered to the point where they were no longer serious. On the way to dinner, she met Fang Xiaonuan again. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I will definitely pay you back for the injuries you gave me!¡± Feng Qi said fiercely. ¡°You still owe my parents an apology.¡± Fang Xiaonuan deliberately kept a distance from Feng Qi. Her tone was indifferent, making her appear much more stable. ¡°Hmph, let them wait! What father said was very clear. He won¡¯t let me do something that would hurt the Ji family¡¯s reputation. They would only suffer. Fang Xiaonuan, I¡¯m warning you. You have to know your ce in the Ji family. Don¡¯t dream of things that don¡¯t belong to you!¡± For the first time, Mayor Ji¡¯s words to Feng Qi were useless. After two days of constant goading from Lin Rou, Feng Qi stubbornly believed that Fang Xiaonuan was a scheming woman. Not only had she bewitched her father-inw, but she had also brainwashed her husband. ¡°Then you¡¯ll have to wait and see. I¡¯ll take care of it properly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled and walked quickly to the restaurant. During these two days, Mayor Ji and Ji Lingchen had a tacit understanding to go home early. Ji Lingchen wished he could run home as soon as he got off work. He did not dare to mute his phone, afraid that his little wife would stir up trouble again. Feng Qi was thest to arrive at the restaurant. She saw that everyone was washing their hands. Only Fang Xiaonuan picked up her chopsticks and started eating without waiting for Old Master Ji to move his chopsticks. Taking this opportunity to stir up trouble, Feng Qi said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, don¡¯t you know the rules? You have to wash your hands before eating, and you have to wait for the elders to move their chopsticks before you can. Didn¡¯t your parents teach you this?¡± ¡°Sister-inw, are you speaking like this because your wounds have almost healed and now you¡¯ve forgotten about the pain?¡± Fang Xiaonuan put down her chopsticks and looked up at Feng Qi. It would have been better if she had not mention it, but Feng Qi¡¯s anger could not be controlled once she mentioned it. She stood up and pointed at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s nose, her tone full of unbearable anger. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯re simply shameless. I¡¯ll tell you today. In the Ji family, there¡¯s no me, there¡¯s no you!¡± ¡°Sister-inw, are you old and muddle-headed, or are you going through menopause early? If you¡¯re not feeling well, hurry up and see a doctor. Don¡¯t dy. What¡¯s more, don¡¯t be so angry. Your anger will hurt your body. Don¡¯t be so angry that you¡¯ll ruin yourself. If you do that, you¡¯ll lose more than you gain.¡± When it came to bickering, Fang Xiaonuan had never lost to anyone in her entire life! Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words made Feng Qi self-conscious. It was not easy for two men to interrupt a war between women, especially Mayor Ji. He just watched as his wife was humiliated every time she picked on Fang Xiaonuan. It was as if he hated his wife for failing to meet his expectations. However, Feng Qi did not learn her lesson. Just as Feng Qi was about to retort, Old Master Ji, who was sitting at the head of the table, spoke up. Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Longing for a Reason

Old Master Ji suddenly stood up and threw the cane he had just reced onto the ground. He said in a dignified manner, ¡°Shut up, Fang Xiaonuan. Apologize to your sister-inw!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. She was the one who scolded me first. Why should I apologize?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately said. She had deliberately avoided quarreling and did not step out of the door. She did not see anyone all day long, but Feng Qi had brought up her parents. She did not want to stir up trouble, but Feng Qi just had to antagonize her. Fang Xiaonuan considered everyone in the Ji family. As her husband, Ji Lingchen waspletely indifferent to the matter and acted like a spectator. Ji Kangde and Feng Qi had been husband and wife for many years. Naturally, he would protecting his wife. Old Master Ji and Feng Qi had been inws for many years. As an outsider who had just married into the Ji family, how could she get justice? Until now, Fang Xiaonuan still could not figure out how she had offended Feng Qi so badly. The two of them had be arch-enemies. Old Master Ji could not bear to see Fang Xiaonuan argue with him. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, look at how restless the house has been since you moved in. You better reign in your personality. I¡¯ve indulged you long enough.¡± Fang Xiaonuan responded, ¡°Indulged? You¡¯re really indulging me, but I don¡¯t care.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, do you understand what respect is?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°The prerequisite for respect is to be respected. I want to ask, do you all respect me?¡± Old Master Ji immediately asked, ¡°You think we don¡¯t respect you?¡± ¡°How do you respect me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s question made the Ji family members fall silent. For a moment, no one answered. After a while, Old Master Ji said slowly, ¡°The rules of the Ji family are reasonable. Now that you are a member of the Ji family, you must obey our family¡¯s rules and apologize to your sister-inw.¡± When Feng Qi heard that Old Master Ji was still on her side, her face was full of pride. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan provocatively. Fang Xiaonuan looked straight at Feng Qi and said to her patiently, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Since the Ji family¡¯s rules are based on appearances, then I would like to ask when sister-inw will apologize to my parents. After all, this is what the oldest person in the Ji family said.¡± Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to quell her anger. She spoke slowly too. ...... Feng Qi said, ¡°You¡¯re simply delusional. Your mother is younger than me. It¡¯s impossible for me to apologize to her.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°The Ji family¡¯s rules are based on appearances. Isn¡¯t that a matter of appearances too? Age? Then, let¡¯s put aside Old Master Ji¡¯s previous instructions. Just based on the fact that I¡¯m already married to Ji Lingchen, my parents are of the same seniority as Old Master Ji. Thest time my parents came to visit, sister-inw did not treat them well. If that¡¯s the case, didn¡¯t sister-inw vite the rules of the Ji family? The Ji family is strict. Sister-inw must abide by the rules of the family! Father, do you think I¡¯m right?¡± Everyone in the family knew that they wanted to treat the previous incident as a small matter, but Fang Xiaonuan was the only one who was unwilling to do so. She had said these words to Old Master Ji¡¯s face now to intentionally embarrass him. In any case, they had already shed all pretense of cordiality. Fang Xiaonuan no longer cared. Seeing that Old Master Ji was silent, Fang Xiaonuan asked again, ¡°Dad, did I say something wrong?¡± ¡°Scram, all of you, Scram!¡± Old Master Ji roared angrily. When Fang Xiaonuan was about to speak again, the butler gave a look to the few servants. Someone immediately held onto Fang Xiaonuan and brought her out of the dining area. The atmosphere was already ice cold. Feng Qi did not dare to breathe, but Ji Lingchen did not move at all. His fingers tapped the table rhythmically. Mayor Ji knew his younger brother¡¯s temperament very well. He was afraid that he would cause any more trouble, so he said, ¡°Lingchen, quickly go and see Nuannuan.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze swept to the entrance of the restaurant. He quickly retracted his gaze and then looked at everyone at the table. He sneered and said, ¡°Don¡¯t you have to look at the owner before hitting a dog? Bullying my wife, isn¡¯t that just pping my face? Sister-inw, is what I said reasonable?¡± Feng Qi did not say anything. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was too fierce, so she did not dare to meet his gaze. Ji Lingchen spoke again. ¡°Sister-inw, I saw you humiliate my wife just now and talk a lot. Now, why have you be mute in front of me?¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Lingchen, that¡¯s what she deserves. Just listen to her. She really can¡¯tpare to Rou¡¯er.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at Old Master Ji and said, ¡°I wonder if my inws, the inws of Ji Lingchen, CEO of Ji Corporation, are worthy of an apology from the mayor¡¯s wife.¡± Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Not to Be Trifled With

Old Master Ji reminded, ¡°Lingchen, she is your sister-inw.¡± Ji Lingchen suddenlyughed, ¡°How interesting. She is my sister-inw. Have you forgotten that Fang Xiaonuan is my wife? Don¡¯t tell me you want me to make my wife suffer for my sister-inw? I, Ji Lingchen, will not allow such a thing.¡± Old Master Ji did not say anything else. Instead, he saw Ji Lingchen stand up and say to Feng Qi, ¡°The rules of the Ji family are based on appearances. Sister-inw, you must not forget that as a member of the Ji family, you must abide by our rules, unless you no longer want to be a member of the Ji family.¡± With that, Ji Lingchen strode out of the dining area. When he went upstairs to look for Fang Xiaonuan, he realized that the woman was not in the room. He stopped the servant and asked coldly, ¡°Where is the second madam?¡± The maid replied, ¡°The second madam ran out crying just now. I don¡¯t know where second madam is now.¡± Ji Lingchen walked around the Ji residence, but he did not see Fang Xiaonuan anywhere. It seemed that she had gone to hide somewhere to cry. In the end, he stopped looking and just let her cry outside. When she was done crying, she came back. Ji Lingchen picked up his phone and called his assistant.¡± Hello, help me buy a house near the Fang residence.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, sir. What are you looking for? How many rooms do you want? Is it for investment or for living? A vi or a foreign house?¡± The assistant quickly answered and began to ask questions. Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°To live alone. A vi. The sooner the better.¡± The assistant said, ¡°Yes, I will help you find what you¡¯re looking for.¡± After hanging up the phone, Ji Lingchen turned around and went upstairs. It seemed that they really could not stay in the Ji family¡¯s residence much longer. He originally wanted Feng Qi to bully Fang Xiaonuan, but in the end, it was Fang Xiaonuan who retaliated. The Ji family was bing more and more chaotic. Every day, Ji Lingchen¡¯s mind was stuck at home. With Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s personality, he clearly did not need to worry about being bullied, but he was always afraid that she would be wronged. In order to put an end to this matter, they had to move. After doing this, Ji Lingchen only had to wait for Fang Xiaonuan toe back. Then, he would inform her about moving out. He waited and waited. When it got dark, he did not wait for Fang Xiaonuan toe back. Instead, he called Fang Xiaonuan. His phone could be heard ringing through the cracks in the sofa cushions. ...... Fang Xiaonuan did not bring her phone with her when she left the house. Realizing this, Ji Lingchen started to look for her. He stopped a servant and asked, ¡°Have you seen the second young madam?¡± The servant shook her head. She did not dare to speak to Ji Lingchen directly. Ji Lingchen frowned and went to the monitoring room. Fang Xiaonuan was brought out by the servant in the afternoon. After she broke free, she went out alone. Ji Lingchen sat in the monitoring room thinking. He understood that Fang Xiaonuan would not return to her mother¡¯s house after being wronged. It was already sote. Where would she go? The young girl was penniless in the middle of the night. She did not even bring her cell phone. If she did not return home in the middle of the night, she could not possibly do anything else. Ji Lingchen had no clue at all. However, he understood one thing: he could not just wait. ... Fang Xiaonuan ran out of the Ji family¡¯s house in the afternoon after the angry fight. After she came out, she realized that she had not brought anything with her. In order to not let her parents worry, she could only look for her best friend, He Lili. He Lili¡¯s family background was not bad. Her father and brother were both police officers, and her mother was a businesswoman. Although He Lili was not a socialite like Fang Xiaonuan, no one dared to provoke her. This was mainly because she had a brother who doted on her like his life depended on it ¡ª He Qun. As long as He Lili said the word, there was almost nothing that her brother could not do. She and Fang Xiaonuan were fated to meet. She did not expect the two of them to have simr personalities and be best friends who talked about everything. As for the matter of the Ji family forcing the marriage, Fang Xiaonuan only told He Lili about it. At that time, He Lili was indignant and wanted to stand up for Fang Xiaonuan, but she stopped her. ¡°Please don¡¯t. The Ji family is not to be trifled with. Don¡¯t involve your mom in this.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had stopped her in the end, and He Lili finally gave up. Fang Xiaonuan never thought that when she met her best friend again, she would actually seek her help. She walked for three hours before she reached the He family¡¯s house. She knocked on the door, and the person who opened it was He Lili. ¡°Lili, can I stay at your house for one night?¡± When she saw her best friend, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s started crying. She wiped the tears off her face and asked the question in a pleading tone. He Lili said, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you can. Don¡¯t even mention it for a second!¡± Seeing her best friend, Lili pulled her into the house. ¡°Nuannuan, what happened to you? Did the Ji family bully you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. In front of He Lili, she would never hide anything. ¡°They did bully me, but I¡¯m not someone to be trifled with. I hit them back.¡± Chapter 29

¡°That¡¯s good, Nuannuan. If anyone bullies you again, you can hit them back. My brother says that self-defense is not illegal!¡± He Lili handed Fang Xiaonuan a tissue and patted her shoulder. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mood improved a lot. She nodded to her best friend and forced a smile. He Lili said, ¡°If you¡¯re upset, you should just cry! You have no idea that your forced smile is even uglier than your crying face.¡± That night, He Qun went home from work. He deliberately put his coat over his arm. He Qun looked decent, and he was full of righteousness. He looked like a meticulous person, but when he was with He Lili, he always had a friendly smile on his face. Being around He Lili had really made Fang Xiaonuan feel at ease. The attentive Fang Xiaonuan noticed the coat over He Qun¡¯s arm. She thought, ¡®He does not need his coat right now, but he¡¯s carrying it with him.¡¯ Only when she saw He Qun¡¯s hands did Fang Xiaonuan realize that he was deliberately using the coat to cover something in his hands. When He Lili walked over, Fang Xiaonuan reminded her, ¡°Look at what your brother is holding under his coat!¡± When He Lili heard this, she took the clothes from her brother¡¯s hands, catching him off guard. Then, He Qun quickly used the clothes to cover what he was holding again. He asked, ¡°Little gluttonous cat, do you want a drink?¡± ¡°My brother is the greatest!¡± He Lili smiled and her eyes sparkled. Her brother doted on her and gave her whatever she wanted. He Qun looked at Fang Xiaonuan, and a trace of unpredictability shed in his eyes. ¡°Sugar-free, don¡¯t worry. You guys have fun. I¡¯ll get going now.¡± He Lili took the milk tea and pulled Fang Xiaonuan back to her room. The two of them chatted happily. When she was with He Lili, Fang Xiaonuan forgot that she was already married. Everything seemed to be the same as before. She was still the daughter of the Fang family, the precious treasure that the Fang family cherished in their hearts, the eldest daughter of the Fang family that no one dared to provoke. She did not need to restrain her temper, and she did not need to suppress her anger. She liked her freedom to begin with. She did not like being confined to a bedroom that was only dozens of square meters wide so that she would not get into another argument. When she was with her best friend He Lili, Fang Xiaonuan forgot all her worries and chatted with her until it waste. ...... However, Fang Xiaonuan did not know that the Ji family was looking everywhere for her. Ji Lingchen realized that he could not wait any longer, so he called his subordinates and asked them to focus on the Ji family and start looking for Fang Xiaonuan. He then called his best friend for help. Ye Mubai, who was about to go to sleep, received a call from his best friend. ¡°What? Who¡¯s Fang Xiaonuan? You¡¯re Married? F*ck, my brother is married, and I didn¡¯t know? What¡¯s the situation now? Did you lose your wife?¡± His string of questions gave Ji Lingchen a headache. He changed from his usual cold demeanor and patiently replied, ¡°I¡¯m married. Fang Xiaonuan is my woman. She¡¯s lost now.¡± ¡°Wait, let me pinch myself. Am I dreaming?¡± Ye Mubai acted like he heard a big joke. He could note back to his senses for a long time. He simply could not believe it. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you three seconds to wake up. Get up immediately and help me look for her.¡± Ye Mubai was so shocked that he fell off the bed. He now knew that he was not dreaming. His good friend had secretly gotten married. Not only did he get married, but his wife was nowhere to be found. Thus, a few minutes after Ji Lingchen hung up, his cell phone was flooded with calls from his good friends who were living abroad. They all called to ask, ¡°Lingchen, I heard from Mubai that your wife ran away with someone right after you got married?¡± Ji Lingchen knew that Ye Mubai¡¯s big mouth would cause him trouble. If he was not so anxious, he definitely would not have told him about this. ¡°Brother, logically speaking, that wouldn¡¯t happen to you! Your charm isn¡¯t too bad. Why did your wife run off with someone else right after you got married?¡± Ji Lingchen took a deep breath. ¡°If I didn¡¯t need Ye Mubai now, I would definitely sew his mouth shut!¡± No, he would just use a strong medicine to poison him! ¡°I¡¯m not angry, I¡¯m not angry. As your good friend, I¡¯ll go back and apany you right now.¡± Murong heard that his good friend¡¯s wife had run away with someone else and immediately decided to check in with Ji Lingchen. At this time, good friends needed to be by his side so they could apany him through this period of darkness. Murong decided to go help, and so did three of Ji Lingchen¡¯s other friends. They all imed that they wanted to help, but in reality, they just wanted to see what kind of woman could make the great Ji Lingchen settle down. Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Small Dark Room

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

The Ji family had spent the entire night looking for Fang Xiaonuan. Even Old Master Ji was rmed. He sat on the sofa, his entire body exuding an aura that discouraged anyone from disturbing him. It was futile to educate Fang Xiaonuan now. Ji Lingchen did not sleep the entire night either. He was just waiting for Fang Xiaonuan to return home. The next day at noon, Fang Xiaonuan had mentally prepared herself. She returned to the Ji family¡¯s home. She stood in front of the Ji family¡¯s door for a while before slowly walking in. She had not returnedst night, and now she could not avoid being reprimanded. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s had lost her temper at the Ji family yesterday, and she did not hold back at all. Now, she was much calmer. She advised herself to hold back her anger and not lose her temper again. Her appearance made Ji Lingchen, who had been dozing off, suddenly open his eyes. He turned to look at his wife, who walked in somewhat awkwardly. He was sitting on the sofa, and he adjusted his posture. ¡°You didn¡¯te home at night and you didn¡¯t inform us at all. How could you do that? And you shouted at me?¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s eyes were wide with anger. He had truly scared Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Dad, I went to my friend¡¯s house yesterday. When I arrived, I realized that I didn¡¯t bring my phone with me, so I couldn¡¯t tell you guys.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me dad!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, and his roar was filled with anger. Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips, and she swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth. In this situation, she would be a fool if she opened her mouth again. Old Master Ji was originally filled with anger, and he even wanted Fang Xiaonuan to divorce Ji Lingchen. Now that he saw Fang Xiaonuan standing there, obediently waiting to be reprimanded, a portion of his anger subsided. Then, he thought of the butler¡¯s constant reminders. Only the person who made the mistake could rectify it. In the end, he was the one who had insisted on her joining the Ji family. ¡°Forget it, Fang Xiaonuan. Do you admit your mistake?¡± Old Master Ji sighed and red at Fang Xiaonuan as he spoke. Ji Lingchen did not say a word the entire time. He wanted to know if Fang Xiaonuan would apologize for what had happenedst night. After all, she had impulsively stayed out all night. If she had, at least, called home, he could still convince her toe back. ¡°I don¡¯t admit it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s answer was just as Ji Lingchen had expected. This little girl was as stubborn as an ox. Her answer, without a doubt, triggered the anger that Old Master Ji had been holding back. ¡°Then go to the istion room and face the wall to reflect on your mistakes. You will note out until you admit your mistakes.¡± Old Master Ji did not rebuke her this time. Instead, he spoke in a gloomy voice. Even if Fang Xiaonuan was a little soft-hearted, she would not do so. Old Master Ji gave the butler a look. He knew that Fang Xiaonuan was a stubborn girl, so he wanted the butler to persuade her. ...... The butler brought Fang Xiaonuan to the istion room. When they arrived at the istion room, the butler looked at the girl who was pretending to be calm. He said, ¡°Second young madam, go and admit your mistake to the master. Admit your mistake and this matter will be over. This istion can be avoided.¡± ¡°Thank you for your kindness. However, I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, so I won¡¯t admit anything.¡± Fang Xiaonuan entered the small dark room by herself and closed the door stubbornly. Fang Xiaonuan thought that she would be reprimanded, but she never thought that she would be punished. This punishment was still confinement. She shook her head helplessly. After closing the door to the small dark room, the room instantly fell intoplete darkness. It was so dark that she could not even see her own fingers. She raised her hand and searched the wall. Not long after, she found the light switch. A dim light lit up in the small dark room. The small space was only about ten square meters. Fang Xiaonuan sat cross-legged on the ground. Fortunately, the room was not that hot. She rested her chin on her hand and thought about what she had experienced over thest few days. It was so much more eventful than what she had experienced over the past few years. No wonder most women nowadays were afraid of marriage. She was tired. Marriage felt like jumping from herfort zone to a danger zone in which she did not know what would happen next. Every day was a mystery. Every day was a game. Fang Xiaonuan was a little depressed. She got up and walked around the small room. Suddenly, she saw a wall that was slightly different. The wall was full of potholes and many scratches. She thought to herself, ¡®Could it be that other people were locked in here for so long that they had to keep track of their istion period?¡¯ She had nned to continue the drawing, but she did not have any stationery with her. ¡°Looks like this person was punished often. He knew how to bring stationery in here,¡± the bored Fang Xiaonuan muttered to herself. In the living room, after Fang Xiaonuan left, Feng Qi, who had been listening from upstairs, came down. Ji Lingchen got up, ¡°Since everyone is here, let me emphasize one more thing. Fang Xiaonuan is my wife. Respecting me means respecting her. If you think my wife is an eyesore, then I¡¯ll take her away.¡± Chapter 31

Chapter 31: A Man Who Has Had Sex

Feng Qi did not dare to provoke Ji Lingchen. She said, ¡°Lingchen, you were there the entire time. You can tell who was right and who was wrong. Sister-inw definitely did not hold back. She was too much.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at her. ¡°So what if she¡¯s right and you¡¯re wrong? Will you apologize if she¡¯s right? So what if she¡¯s wrong? Do you expect me to speak badly of my wife? Dream on!¡± He left the living room and went outside. He went straight to the small dark room they used to punish Ji Wen. The door was now locked. He picked up the lock and looked at it. Then, he said to the servant who was guarding the door, ¡°Open the door.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened her eyes. She could not have misheard. This was Ji Lingchen¡¯s voice. What was he doing here? The servant said, ¡°Second young master, it was master who asked that second young madam be locked up. Now, we don¡¯t dare to open the door without master¡¯s permission.¡± Ji Lingchenughed mockingly. He took a step back and kicked open the door. ¡°I¡¯ll make sure you get your sry.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was so frightened by his kick that she trembled. She scooted further inside so that the door would not hurt her. Ji Lingchen entered andid eyes on the girl who was hiding in the room ¡°Do you really want to stay here so badly? I can get someone to fix the door.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to stay here, thene out.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s legs were a little numb from sitting for so long. She did not stand up for a moment. Ji Lingchen, who was standing at the door, said, ¡°Why aren¡¯t youing out? Do you want me to help you pack your luggage?¡± Ji Lingchen could not wait any longer. He did not give Fang Xiaonuan any opportunity to react. He entered the small dark room and bent down to carry her. He took her away and returned to the living room. Back in the living room, Fang Xiaonuan met with Old Master Ji. Ji Lingchen put her down, and she stopped in her tracks. Old Master Ji looked at her. ...... ¡°Ji Lingchen, what is this?¡± Old Master Ji was so angry that his eyes were red. He had just ordered Fang Xiaonuan to go to solitary confinement, and in less than ten minutes, his son had gone to rescue her. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°She¡¯s my wife. Letting you lock her up was already showing you enough respect. Even if you locked her up for a few seconds, you still locked her up.¡± With that, he pulled Fang Xiaonuan upstairs. When they reached the bedroom, Ji Lingchen let go of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s arm. He said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to move out of the Ji family¡¯s house? Now, pack up your things and we¡¯ll leave tonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a little surprised. ¡°What? You¡¯re doing what you promised?¡± ¡°For everyone¡¯s sake, it¡¯s better if we move out as soon as possible,¡± Ji Lingchen said slowly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier! If you had said so earlier, there wouldn¡¯t have been such a mess,¡± Fang Xiaonuan muttered. Then, she quickly packed her things. She did not have many things in the Ji family¡¯s house to begin with, so she quickly packed them up. Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone suddenly rang. It was Ye Mubai. Ji Lingchen hung up without thinking. Not long after, he called again. This time, he picked up. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Ye Mubai said, ¡°Brother, have you found your wife who ran away with someone?¡± Ji Lingchen nced at Fang Xiaonuan who was sitting on the sofa. ¡°Mubai, do you want to meet up?¡± ¡°Of course! Murong is back too. Why don¡¯t we all meet up?¡± Ye Mubai did not know that a crisis was about to descend. When Fang Xiaonuan heard that Ji Lingchen was going out, she asked softly, ¡°Are you going out? Are you taking me away?¡± ¡°Ugh, why do I hear a woman¡¯s voice? Lingchen, is this your wife¡¯s voice or your new lover¡¯s voice? It sounds so good...¡± Ye Mubai sounded gossipy. Ji Lingchen did not respond to that. He hung up the phone and said to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while. Pack up. I¡¯m going out to meet someone. I¡¯lle back to pick you up tonight.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had just been rescued. Moreover, Ji Lingchen had promised to move out with her. At this moment, she was naturally very obedient and she listened to Ji Lingchen¡¯s instructions wholeheartedly. Right now, Ji Lingchen looked very pleasing to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes. Fang Xiaonuan watched Ji Lingchen leave the house. Then, she quickly went to charge her phone. After she turned it on, she reported to her good friend He Lili, telling her that she was safe. Ji Lingchen arrived on the top floor of the vi, and Murong and Ye Mubai were already waiting. The others wereing from quite far away, so they were still on the way. Ye Mubai was wearing a white shirt and he was leaning against his sofa. When he saw who it was, he immediately sat up. ¡°Goodness, the groom is here!¡± Ji Lingchen had just sat down when Murong immediately leaned over. ¡°I heard from Mubai that CEO Ji has a new lover? Sure enough, this man is too much. He can¡¯t control his urges for even one night.¡± Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Why Don¡¯t the Two of You Do It Together?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Ji Lingchen took off his suit jacket and looked at the two of them. He stretched his muscles and muttered, ¡°Which one should I take care of first? Why don¡¯t the two of you do it together?¡± Half an hourter, Yao Qian and Zhao Yu arrived. The moment the two of them entered, they saw Ye Mubai and Murong lying on the ground, out of breath. Ji Lingchen was sitting elegantly on the sofa, drinking tea. ¡°Lingchen, long time no see. Why didn¡¯t you tell any of us about the wedding?¡± Yao Qian tactfully walked towards Ji Lingchen and sat on the single-seater sofa not far from him. ¡°No, have you found your wife? The one who ran away with someone else?¡± Zhao Yu asked, as if he could not see the miserable state of Ye Mubai and Murong. Ji Lingchen put down the teacup, stood up, then threw Zhao Yu over his shoulder. Murong and Ye Mubai had recovered quite a bit by now, so they stood up and prepared to fight. An hourter, the brothers finally sat down peacefully. One of them had not arrived yet. This person was Wang Yubo, who was still on the ne. He would only arrive tomorrow. ¡°Come, let¡¯s drink tea instead of wine. Let¡¯s go. I wish you a happy birthday, CEO Ji. No, no, no, a happy marriage!¡± Ye Mubai flexed his wrist, which Ji Lingchen had left injured. Then, he picked up the teacup. Ye Mubai¡¯s injuries were the most serious, followed by Murong. Zhao Yu had only been hit once, and that was only because he had begged for mercy in time so that Ji Lingchen would let him go. Originally, Ye Mubai had wanted to bring out the wine, but that idea had been shot down by Ji Lingchen. He had to go back to pick up Fang Xiaonuan tonight, and he did not want to drink. Therefore, everyone could only drink tea instead of wine. Yao Qian, who was the most sensible, asked, ¡°Lingchen, why are you married?¡± Not long ago, Yao Qian had thought that Ji Lingchen might be single for the rest of his life. ¡°The old master asked me to marry her.¡± It was indeed the case, so Lingchen did not hide it. Ye Mubai had heard her voice over the phone just now. He continued to linger on the edge of courting death, ¡°Lingchen, is the girl who sounded very gentle on the phone just now your wife or your new lover?¡± Murong was even more fearless and said, ¡°That must be Lingchen¡¯s new lover, of course. Think about it! Lingchen¡¯s wife had already run away with someone else. Even if she came back, Lingchen would not ept her. Moreover, it was an arranged marriage. He did not want it in the first ce.¡± ...... ¡°Right, right, right. What you said makes sense. Moreover, his wife would never speak to him so gently. Only his new lover would do that to please him.¡± Ye Mubai expressed his full agreement with Murong¡¯s words. Ji Lingchen did not say anything, but everyone could feel that the air around them had turned a few degrees colder. His sharp gaze was fixated on Ye Mubai and Murong. Ji Lingchen now looked like a ferocious starving tiger. His eyes seemed to be locked on his ¡®prey¡¯. Ye Mubai looked at Ji Lingchen with a creepy gaze. He moved a little closer to Yao Qian. ¡°Could it be that Murong¡¯s analysis is wrong?¡± Seeing this, Yao Qian also acted as a mediator. He said, ¡°Lingchen, we¡¯ve been brothers for so many years, but you still have the same old problem. You always hide things from us. If you don¡¯t tell us, how will we know? You don¡¯t like it when we guess blindly.¡± ¡°Right, right, right. Lingchen, don¡¯t just get angry. Talk to us. What¡¯s going on?¡± Zhao Yu also spoke politely. After all, under such circumstances, anyone would be extremely curious. Ji Lingchen put down the teacup, thought for a moment, and said, ¡°The old master forced it on me. I n to move out with her. She has been offending everyone in my family.¡± Ye Mubai let out an ¡°Oh.¡± Then, he asked, ¡°Is your house in chaos right now?¡± This question had struck a chord in Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart. He immediately replied, ¡°It¡¯s not just in chaos! The old master is about to be hospitalized because of his anger. She beat up my sister-inw, and she even beat up my older brother. Do you think this is just a little chaos?¡± When Murong Heard Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, he pped his hands and eximed, ¡°Your wife is simply incredible. She has offended your entire family. Lingchen, are you the only one who hasn¡¯t offended her?¡± These words once again kindled Ye Mubai¡¯s curiosity. He curiously asked his good friend, ¡°Yes, what about you?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s mind was currently reying the incident of Fang Xiaonuan calling him ¡®Uncle¡¯. He snorted and picked up the teacup, drinking the tea in one gulp. It was clearly tea in his cup, but he felt like he had just drunk strong liquor. ¡°I was toozy to pay attention to her, so she hasn¡¯t made me angry.¡± ¡°Then, you¡¯re wrong. She ran away with someone elsest night...¡± Ye Mubai had not finished speaking, but Yao Qian covered his mouth. Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Brothers¡¯ Get Together

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Yao Qian said, ¡°Calm down. Do you want to get beaten up again?¡± When he thought about how terrifying Ji Lingchen was, Ye Mubai was terrified. He quickly changed the topic. ¡°Lingchen, describe your wife to us!¡± Ji Lingchen recalled everything that had happened between him and Fang Xiaonuan. In the end, he said, ¡°She¡¯s too strange. I can¡¯t describe her.¡± At this moment, Wang Yubo, who was supposed to be on the ne still, pushed open the door. When he saw his brothers, tears welled up in his eyes. The first thing he did was lunge toward Ji Lingchen. As he lunged toward him, he said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m back to apany you. There are many obedient, sensible, and good-looking women. Don¡¯t be depressed. I¡¯ll find them for you.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the big musclehead that had just pounced on him. He knew that he could not dodge him, so he changed his posture and let Murong, who was closest to him, bear the guy¡¯s weight too. ¡°Ah!¡± Before Murong could react, he was attacked by a ¡°cannonball¡±, so he let out a scream. Those who did not know were not guilty, so Ji Lingchen did not argue with Wang Yubo. After everything was exined, no one mentioned anything about Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife running away with someone else. Ye Mubai ordered someone to bring out the wine that he had kept for many years. Now that his brothers were all here, Ji Lingchen could not refuse. It had been a long time since theyst saw each other, so they raised their sses together tomemorate their friendship. Not long after, Ye Mubai and Wang Yubo began to secretly pour wine into Ji Lingchen¡¯s cup. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time, brother. I didn¡¯t expect you to be married. Come, we¡¯ll drink to your wedding.¡± For this reason, Ji Lingchen relented and drank. Back then, he had only gotten married to exchange for information, so he did not tell his brothers. Everyone drank one cup each. Not long after, Ji Lingchen¡¯s face turned slightly red. Ye Mubai raised his eyebrows at Wang Yubo, indicating that he was almost at his limit. In the Ji family¡¯s old residence, Fang Xiaonuan had packed up everything and she was now waiting for Ji Lingchen¡¯s return. She waited until it was diner time. Lately, mealtimes had be synonymous with conflict in the Ji family¡¯s home. Every time it was time for dinner, everyone in the Ji family, from Old Master Ji to the servants, would have butterflies in their stomach. ...... When it was time to eat, Fang Xiaonuan did not appear at the dining table. She frequently took out her phone to check the time. She was waiting for Ji Lingchen. At the dining table, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji had arrived. Not long after, Old Master Ji arrived as well. Only Fang Xiaonuan was missing. The butler immediately asked the servants to call Fang Xiaonuan down for dinner. Fang Xiaonuan heard the knocking on the door and hurriedly got up to open it. She thought that it was time to leave, but when the door opened, she saw that it was not Ji Lingchen. It was the Ji family¡¯s servant. The servant said, ¡°Second young madam, it¡¯s time to eat. Master is waiting for you in the dining room!¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the time and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Ji Lingchen?¡± The servant replied, ¡°Second young master hasn¡¯t returned yet.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked in the direction of the door and then at her phone. She was hesitating whether or not to go down. The servant sent by the butler liked Fang Xiaonuan. She kindly reminded her, ¡°Second young madam, Mayor Ji is here too.¡± Fang Xiaonuan understood and nodded. ¡°Alright then! I¡¯ll go down now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not stay for long and soon appeared in the dining hall. As soon as she appeared, the servants became more cautious. Fang Xiaonuanmended herself for getting this far with the Ji family. If someone else were to marry into the Ji family, they would definitely be very careful and obedient every day. Only she could force everyone in the family to feel ¡®fear¡¯. All of this was thanks to Feng Qi. Fang Xiaonuan had never been the one to start up trouble, but she was not the least bit afraid when it came to arguing. Fang Xiaonuan nced at the serious-looking Old Master Ji, then sat down in her seat obediently without saying anything. This was herst night in the Ji family, and she did not want to cause any more trouble. Perhaps Old Master Ji had been siding with Feng Qi and he had locked her up in a small dark room to make her feel better. Or perhaps Feng Qi knew that Fang Xiaonuan was going to move out with Ji Lingchen, so she did not take the initiative to pick a fight tonight. ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s eat!¡± Old Master Ji said. Only then did everyone pick up their chopsticks and start eating. There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, and Fang Xiaonuan had only been eating from the two dishes in front of her. Firstly, she was not very hungry, and secondly, she was trying to make herself scarce. She was about to leave the Ji family¡¯s home, and she did not want to be picked on by Feng Qi. Halfway through the meal, someone came from the front hall. Then, she heard a few unfamiliar voices. ¡°Uncle Ji, are you home?¡± Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Is She an Adult?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Old Master Ji put down his chopsticks, stood up and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s that kid, Murong.¡± After saying that, Old Master Ji went out to wee him. Fang Xiaonuan nced at Feng Qi, and their eyes met. Feng Qi was also looking at Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°What are you looking at? Hurry up and go! Murong, Ye Mubai, and a few others havee. They are all Lingchen¡¯s lifelong friends.¡± Although Feng Qi¡¯s tone was not friendly, it was a nice reminder to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Alright!¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately put down her chopsticks and ran out. The chair made a sound when she pushed it back. Mayor Ji saw this and looked at his wife in surprise. It was unusual that his wife was not looking for trouble. She was actually behaving well. Feng Qi said, ¡°Why are you two looking at me? Do you think I still want to quarrel with her? I need a day off too, okay? I don¡¯t have the energy to quarrel with her today.¡± She was already quite old, and her energy levels were not what they used to be. Every time she quarreled with Fang Xiaonuan, it would take a toll on her. These days, she was so angry that her health and her sleeping patterns were not in order. Now that Fang Xiaonuan was leaving the Ji family, no one wanted topete with Feng Qi for the position of the mistress. Feng Qi found Fang Xiaonuan easier to be around. And even if she did not say it out loud, Mayor Ji understood.?As the mayor, he had seen all kinds of people. Plus, Feng Qi had a one-track mind. Mayor Ji suddenly said, ¡°That¡¯s good too. Everyone can be quiet.¡± In the living hall, Fang Xiaonuan caught up with Old Master Ji. She obediently followed behind Old Ji. Then, Fang Xiaonuan saw the drunk Ji Lingchen being supported by two guys. The other three people went up to talk to Old Master Ji. One of them had a very strange gait that got Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s attention. ¡°Uncle Ji, we came over to wish Lingchen a happy wedding. He didn¡¯t even tell us that he was getting married,¡± Murong said. Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to recall the two names that Feng Qi mentioned earlier. She remembered that they were Murong and Ye Mubai. The other three were Ji Lingchen¡¯s good friends that seldom came over. ...... Yao Qian looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was lost in thought. He said to Ye Mubai, ¡°That little girl looks pretty good.¡± Ye Mubai also nced at Fang Xiaonuan, who was behind Old Master Ji. Then, he whispered to Yao Qian, ¡°Huh? You mean her? She doesn¡¯t look like the one! She seems to be a student. Can students get married now?¡± Old Master Ji was close, so when he heard Ye Mubai¡¯s words, he coughed lightly to dispel the awkwardness. Then, he turned around and said to Fang Xiaonuan kindly, ¡°Nuannuan,e forward. I¡¯ll introduce you to her.¡± Fang Xiaonuan walked forward. She stood beside Old Master Ji very obediently. At this moment, Old Master Ji felt satisfied with her obedience. ¡°This is Ye Mubai, the heir of the Lingnan Ye family. This is Murong, the owner of more than ten overseas inds. The one beside him is Wang Yubo. The two who are propping Lingchen up, are Yao Qian and Zhao Yu. Our families are old friends, and they are also good friends with Lingchen.¡± After introducing the five of them one by one, Old Master Ji then introduced the girl beside him to them. ¡°This is Lingchen¡¯s...¡± Ji Lingchen drank a lot of wine, and he waspletely drunk at this moment. The smell of alcohol dissipated a little when the warm summer wind blew in. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his very obedient wife. Without waiting for Old Master Ji to finish introducing her, Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Wife, I¡¯m not at home. Are you angry again?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. ¡°This...¡± Ji Lingchen was being really nice to her. Once Ji Lingchen opened his mouth, there was no need to convey Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s identity anymore. He did not hear Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s reply, so he asked again in an overbearing manner, ¡°Answer me, who are you angry at today? Are you angry? Tell me. I¡¯ll help you vent your anger.¡± Once these words were said, the hall fell into a strange silence. It turned out that Ji Lingchen was like this when he was drunk. His five good friends were all very shocked, and they all looked at him. Fang Xiaonuan took a few steps forward and held the swaying Ji Lingchen. She shook her head and said, ¡°No! I¡¯m very obedient. I¡¯m not angry, and of course, no one is angry at me.¡± Ye Mubai said, ¡°Uncle Ji, may I ask, is she an adult?¡± Ye Mubai¡¯s voice rang out suddenly. This guy¡¯s words were shocking. No matter how they looked at Fang Xiaonuan, to them, she did not seem like an adult. The guys also had their doubts but the only one who dared to ask the question directly was Ye Mubai. ¡°I¡¯m already 20 years old. I got married legally,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said to ease the awkwardness Old Master Ji must feel. Chapter 35

Chapter 35: You Did It On Purpose

Then, Fang Xiaonuan introduced herself. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife. My name is Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Ji Lingchen was drunk, and his legs were a little weak, so he could not stand properly. He leaned on Fang Xiaonuan and whispered into her ear, ¡°Take me back to the bedroom.¡± Hearing that, Old Master Ji chimed in. ¡°Nuannuan, take Lingchen back to the room first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a little dejected. ¡°Dad, I can¡¯t carry him.¡± ¡°Butler, get two people to help second young madam,¡± Old Master Ji instructed. The butler stepped forward to help Ji Lingchen up, but to his surprise, he flung him away and snorted coldly. ¡°She¡¯s good enough.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately wanted to cry, but no tears came out. How could she do it alone? This man did not know how heavy he was! Now that he was drunk, his body felt even heavier. Ji Lingchen did not know what his little wife was thinking. He actually had a slight case of mysophobia and he did not like other people touching him. His brothers were an exception. As for Fang Xiaonuan, he subconsciously treated her as someone he was close to. Seeing this, Fang Xiaonuan could only ept her fate and carry Ji Lingchen back to the bedroom alone. After expending a lot of effort, Fang Xiaonuan finally led the man into the room. She led Ji Lingchen to the bed. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the sofa for a while.¡± ¡°You¡¯d better lie down on the bed obediently! The sofa is too small for you. You¡¯ll fall down in the middle of the night and I won¡¯t be able to help you up. Ah... If you move, you¡¯ll crush my hand.¡± Fang Xiaonuan helped Ji Lingchen to the bed. Ji Lingchen¡¯s weight ended up dragging her onto the bed as well. His back was still pressing down on her hand. Fang Xiaonuan was lying beside him, but her left hand was under the man¡¯s body. ¡°Ji Lingchen, turn over. You¡¯re lying down on my hand. I can¡¯t get it out.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had already used all her strength to help Ji Lingchen up the stairs, and now she had no strength at all. ...... Although Ji Lingchen was drunk, he was clear-headed. He felt ufortable so he rolled over. Without any warning, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body was pushed down by a ¡°mountain¡±. At the same time, her arm was freed, but... ¡°Ji Lingchen, you¡¯re taking advantage of me, aren¡¯t you? You¡¯re too heavy. Move.¡± Fang Xiaonuan tried to push him off her but to no avail. Ji Lingchen realized that sleeping on his stomach seemed morefortable than lying down. However, there was a ¡°sparrow¡± that kept chattering under him. This made him feel a little irritated. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Stop it. Stop talking.¡± ¡°Ji Lingchen, I¡¯ll continue talking. You¡¯re the one who¡¯s lying down on me. Why don¡¯t you just squeeze me to death? You¡¯ll have to pay with your life if you kill someone. You...¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not finish her sentence. She was in a daze. The sudden warmth on her lips told her that she had been kissed. The kiss carried a strong scent of alcohol. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart was beating irregrly. She forgot to push the man away. The hand on her waist was tight. It was so tight that it almost bruised her waist. ¡°Mm, let go.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s first reaction after being kissed was to worry about her waist. She used both her hands to force Ji Lingchen¡¯s hands away. Ji Lingchen became a little more alert. Seeing that Fang Xiaonuan was still moving around under his body, he let go of her arms. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s waist was freed, and she put her hands on Ji Lingchen¡¯s chest. ¡°I think I might be the first woman to be crushed to death by her husband.¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. ¡®Can¡¯t this woman be a little more serious?¡¯ He and Fang Xiaonuan looked at each other. His eyes were as clear as day. They were not as cloudy as before. He did not look drunk at all. Fang Xiaonuan only thought of the kiss just now. Her face turned red. ¡°You, you did it on purpose! You definitely did it on purpose!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s waist with both hands and turned her over with him. This time, he was on the bottom, and Fang Xiaonuan was on top. She was lying on top of him. Now, she was not the one being squished. It was much easier for Fang Xiaonuan to break free from Ji Lingchen. She used Ji Lingchen¡¯s chest as support and got up easily. She turned around and saw that Ji Lingchen had already fallen asleep. Fang Xiaonuan patted her chest and silently rejoiced. Fortunately, he was drunk. She left Ji Lingchen alone on the bed and ran out of the door. Hearing the sound of the door closing, the man who was pretending to be asleep on the bed instantly opened his eyes. This time, the rity in his eyes was not fake. He sat up and looked at the door with a profound gaze. He had been stunned by his own impulses just now. He had only felt his body go soft, and there seemed to be a very soft ¡°pillow¡± in his arms. Hugging her felt great, but why did he suddenly kiss her? Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Get Up and Hit Me

Ji Lingchen had a headache. He rubbed his temples. No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not figure out why he had kissed her. It was fine if he had just kissed her, but he had even left her lips swollen. Could this be the so-called promiscuity of a drunk man? Downstairs, Fang Xiaonuan sat alone on the steps. She took a deep breath to calm her heart rate. Then, she walked to the hall to entertain her husband¡¯s good friends. Old Master Ji asked, ¡°Is he asleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Yes, he went to sleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat beside Old Master Ji. To be honest, she did not know how to entertain her husband¡¯s friends. To put it bluntly, they were all strangers to her. Ye Mubai was the first to notice Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth. It looked different from before. He gestured for Yao Qian to follow his gaze. Yao Qian looked at her lips, then nodded at Ye Mubai. Ye Mubai was confused. ¡®Why are you nodding at me?¡¯ Yao Qian thought to himself, no wonder this little girl was in the room for so long before she came out. It turned out that she had gone to touch up her makeup. This deep lipstick shade was not suitable for her. It was too obvious. Ye Mubai then shook Murong¡¯s arm and gestured for him to look at Fang Xiaonuan. Murong nudged him right back and stared at Ye Mubai. ¡®I¡¯m not blind!¡¯ The two of them kept fidgeting, and their eye contact was bing even more obvious. Even Wang Yubo felt awkward, he stood up and said goodbye. ¡°Uncle Ji, since Lingchen is home safe, we¡¯ll leave first. We¡¯ll visit again another day.¡± Yao Qian and Zhao Yu quickly stood up and echoed, ¡°Uncle Ji, we¡¯ll head back first. We¡¯ll visit you another day.¡± Ye Mubai had sustained the most injuries from being beaten by Ji Lingchen, so he got up slowly. Murong was there to help him, so Ye Mubai finally got up. The Ji family members also got up to see him off. It waste, and Ji Lingchen had fallen asleep. Old Master Ji did not ask any of them to stay longer. ¡°Mm, thank you for sending Lingchen back. If you¡¯re free, juste and visit me more often. It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen you guys.¡± Everyone nodded. Fang Xiaonuan shadowed Old Master Ji and watched them leave. ...... As Ye Mubai was getting into the car, Fang Xiaonuan kept watching his strange movements. Only when the car was far away did Fang Xiaonuan heave a sigh of relief. She asked Old Master Ji curiously, ¡°Dad, can I ask you a question?¡± Old Master Ji nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°That guy called Ye Mubai, is his tail bone broken?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked like an idiot. Old Master?Ji said, ¡°You can ask Lingchen yourself when he wakes up!¡± Fang Xiaonuan stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Why would she ask Ji Lingchen about this? She was puzzled. Old Master Ji smiled and looked at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth. An observant person could tell what had happened with just one look. He turned around and left awkwardly. Feng Qi followed closely behind Old Master Ji. Fang Xiaonuan called out to her, ¡°Sister-inw, thank you.¡± One thing led to another. Just now, she had reminded herself in the dining hall that she needed to thank her. However, this did not mean that she could let bygones be bygones. Feng Qi did not say anything. She turned around and returned to the bedroom. Her impression of this youngdy had changed slightly. In the bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Lingchen who was still in bed. She thought carefully. ¡®I definitely did not take off his shoes just now.¡¯ However, she looked at the neatly arranged pair of leather shoes and socks by the bed and fell into deep thought again. ¡®But he was clearly asleep when I left just now!¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan poked ji Lingchen¡¯s face with her index finger. ¡°Hey, are you awake?¡± Ji Lingchen usually had light sleep. Right now, even if he was not awake, Fang Xiaonuan would be waking him up. However, he still pretended to be asleep and ignored her with his eyes closed. ¡°He¡¯s really asleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tone actually carried traces of joy. She looked at Ji Lingchen who was sleeping soundly and clicked her tongue. ¡°My mother said that when a man gets drunk, he¡¯s like a ¡®dead pig¡¯. He won¡¯t wake up no matter what.¡± ¡°Ugh! I really didn¡¯t expect to get this lucky. You, this ¡®dead pig¡¯, have fallen into my hands now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat by the bed and reached out to pinch Ji Lingchen¡¯s face. The more she yed with him, the happier she became. ¡°I let you bully me. It¡¯s never toote for me to take revenge! No, no, no.¡± After making sure that Ji Lingchen would not wake up, Fang Xiaonuan became even more daring. She pinched ji Lingchen¡¯s nose, not letting him breathe. After a few seconds, she let go. At this moment, the man who was pretending to be asleep was secretly clenching his hands into fists. If not for the awkwardness from the kiss just now, he would have crushed Fang Xiaonuan right now! Fang Xiaonuan was very excited. ¡°Aren¡¯t you amazing? Get up and hit me!¡± Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Pretending to Be Asleep

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Having had enough of ying with her man¡¯s face, Fang Xiaonuan leaned on the bed and cupped her chin with one hand to admire her husband¡¯s face. She clicked her tongue. ¡°If I look closely, you actually look pretty handsome!¡± She then tickled Ji Lingchen¡¯s cheek, ¡°You look handsome, but I don¡¯t love you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words reminded Ji Lingchen, who was pretending to be asleep, of what was important. He had to find out why this girl married him so quickly. Fang Xiaonuan continued to talk to herself. ¡°Ji Lingchen, I can¡¯t stand your arrogance the most. Let me tell you, don¡¯t be arrogant. One day, I¡¯ll be even more powerful than you!¡± The man who was pretending to be asleep scoffed. ¡®In her dreams!¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s you, you big scoundrel. From time to time, you threatened me by buying my family¡¯s business. Your father just threatened me to marry you, and on the wedding night, you threatened me to tell the truth. I told you, but you didn¡¯t believe me. Fortunately, you¡¯re dead asleep now. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t say this much. Just you wait! Sooner orter, I will also threaten you. I will kill you first, and then I will threaten to acquire your business. I just don¡¯t know what to threaten you with. Hmm... What should I threaten you with?¡± Ji Lingchen was prepared to continue pretending to be asleep. He wanted to see how many secrets this girl would spill. He thought to himself, ¡®I have married a girl who likes to dream.¡¯ ¡°You, are you pretending to be asleep? I saw your Adam¡¯s apple move!¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was thinking of threatening Ji Lingchen, suddenly stood up in shock. She saw Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple move! Ji Lingchen kept quiet. This was not something he could control! Fang Xiaonuan shook Ji Lingchen¡¯s body with all her strength. ¡°Hmph, get up. I saw your Adam¡¯s apple move. You¡¯re pretending to be asleep!¡± Ji Lingchen did not move. He still wanted to hear his little wife mumble to herself. He wanted to see if he could find out more secrets. Fang Xiaonuan frowned. Ji Lingchen did not react. Could he really be asleep? She ced her hand on the man¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple and gently pinched it. ¡°Move! I¡¯ll see if you move again!¡± Ji Lingchen felt ufortable from the moment her cold little hand touched his Adam¡¯s apple. His breathing was a littlebored. Just as he was about to lose control, there was a knock on the door. Fang Xiaonuan immediately withdrew her hand and asked, ¡°Who is it?¡± ...... The servant said, ¡°It¡¯s me, second young madam. I¡¯ve brought dinner for you and second young master.¡± ¡°Oh, I happen to be hungry too.¡± Fang Xiaonuan ran to open the door. The man on the bed let out a sigh of relief and changed his position slightly. Ji Lingchen thought to himself, ¡®This woman is really young and frivolous. She doesn¡¯t know a thing.¡¯ She called him a ¡®dead pig¡¯ while he was sleeping, pinched his face, pinched his nose, touched his Adam¡¯s apple, and even tried to threaten him. ¡®Thinking about how to threaten me in the future? She is really a whimsical person. She has a wild imagination.¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan opened the bedroom door. She took the te and thanked the servant politely, ¡°Thank you. You guys should go eat too!¡± She set the food tray down and rubbed her hands happily. She was finally going to treat her stomach well. She ced the te on the coffee table and was about to dig in when her eyes drifted to the man on the bed. Should she call him? ¡°Forget it, forget it. I won¡¯t disturb his sleep. He can starve for a bit!¡± Even though Fang Xiaonuan said that, she still saved some food for the man on the bed before she started to eat. Ji Lingchen narrowed his eyes and watched Fang Xiaonuan eat with a serious expression. Her mouth was full and she looked like she had not eaten in days. Before she swallowed, she already stuffed another bite in her mouth. It seemed that she had indeed restrained herself a lot at the dining table downstairs. Ji Lingchen was a little tired. He closed his eyes and began to truly sleep. He slept until one o¡¯clock in the morning. Then, he sat up. The effects of the alcohol hadpletely worn off. He nced at the sofa and saw that Fang Xiaonuan was sleeping on the single sofa. She had not changed her clothes during the day, and her phone screen was still lit. There were a few bags of luggage and gift boxes on one side of the sofa. Ji Lingchen remembered that he was going to move out with her tonight, but he did not expect that he would end up drunk with his five friends. They wanted toe to the Ji family¡¯s home to see his wife. If he did not get drunk, he definitely would not have let them see Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was profound. It seemed like he had to make them pay again. He lifted the nket off himself and went to the bathroom. He looked down and saw his slippers by the bed. His leather shoes and socks had already been taken away. He nced at Fang Xiaonuan and put on his slippers to go to the bathroom. Chapter 38

Chapter 38: ckout

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Fang Xiaonuan heard themotion and woke up. She was still in a daze and she was afraid that Ji Lingchen would fall. She got up and walked to his side. She held his arm and said, ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll help you. Don¡¯t fall.¡± Ji Lingchen pulled his arm back. ¡°No need.¡± Fang Xiaonuan grabbed Ji Lingchen¡¯s arm again. ¡°What if you fall? I can¡¯t carry you. Where are you going?¡± This time, Ji Lingchen did not pull his arm back. Instead, he pointed to the bathroom. When he arrived, he stood in front of the toilet without moving. Fang Xiaonuan seemed to still be asleep. She stood beside him and turned to look at him, but he did not move. ¡°Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? Why aren¡¯t you leaving the bathroom?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan was a little confused. She only reacted when she saw the toilet. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Please take your time. I¡¯m leaving now!¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan sprinted out of the bathroom. She closed the bathroom door behind her. Ji Lingchen watched her departure and smiled. Fang Xiaonuan was afraid that Ji Lingchen would fall, so she stood guard at the bathroom door. After a while, she heard the sound of watering from the bathroom. She asked, ¡°Ji Lingchen, are you taking a shower?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Are you still dizzy? Do you need me to get someone to help you?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°No.¡± Fang Xiaonuan exchanged pleasantries with him. ¡°Okay, let me know if you need anything.¡± However, she regretted her words. If he really needed something, what would she do? ¡°Thene and help me scrub my back!¡± Ji Lingchen teased his little wife. ...... Fang Xiaonuan kicked the bathroom door as if she wanted to kick Ji Lingchen. ¡°I¡¯ll ask big brother toe and scrub your back!¡± That being said, Fang Xiaonuan was not stupid enough to call Mayor Ji. She sat on the sofa and wondered if he had cked out. If he forgot everything that happened when he was drunk, he would not know about the kiss. But if he did not have a ckout, their next interaction would be awkward. Fang Xiaonuan looked up and sighed. Her first kiss was gone just like that. After a while, the man in the bathroom called, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I¡¯m here. You¡¯re not really going to ask me to go in and scrub your back, are you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said without hesitation. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Where are the towels?¡± ¡°I packed them. I thought we would leave immediately. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go get them for you,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied awkwardly. After that, Fang Xiaonuan ran to the cloakroom. She took out the white towel she had put away and rushed to the bathroom door. She knocked on the door and said, ¡°Open the door a little so you can get the towel.¡± Ji Lingchen unlocked the door and opened it a little. When he reached for the towel, he saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tightly shut eyes through the gap in the door. He put on the towel and walked out. Fang Xiaonuan stood there in a daze. Ji Lingchen was shirtless, and his abs were clearly visible. Fang Xiaonuan saw the hair on his waist and abdomen. Her face turned red instantly. Ji Lingchen dried his hair. Then, he looked at Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°If you¡¯re embarrassed, why don¡¯t you turn around?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stubborn. ¡°I¡¯m not embarrassed. When I went swimming, the men there were wearing even less than you are now.¡± Ji Lngchen retorted, ¡°Then, why are your ears so red?¡± ¡°This room is too stuffy. I¡¯m hot.¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked and immediately found an excuse to turn around and leave. She did not look at Ji Lingchen again. Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up. He went to the cloakroom to change into his pajamas. When he returned to the bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan ced the dinner that she had kept for him on the table. ¡°It¡¯s a little cold, but just eat it! Everyone¡¯s asleep at this hour, so there¡¯s no way I can heat up your dinner for you.¡± Ji Lingchen sat on the sofa, and Fang Xiaonuan passed him the chopsticks. ¡°I haven¡¯t touched the food I left for you.¡± ¡°How did I get back?¡± Ji Lingchen asked despite knowing the answer. ¡°Huh? You don¡¯t know?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were filled with joy and curiosity. Ji Lingchen pretended to have a headache. ¡°I drank too much and forgot.¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. This was great. He cked out. She spoke with ill intentions. ¡°I don¡¯t know how you got back, but it was really fun when you were drunk. You were dancing in the hall, and you even forced us to be your audience. After you danced, we had to apud you.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. ¡®Do you really think that I¡¯m not aware of anything when I¡¯m drunk? Do you think I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re trying to trick me?¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan rubbed it in. ¡°Really, really. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask big brother. After you danced, you even politely bowed for us.¡± Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Lights Out, Lights Out

Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°What dance did I do? Did I y a song?¡± ¡°You did. It was that song. You danced in the most dazzling ethnic style. You danced so hard that we all had to watch. In the end, you even forced me to apud you.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°What was that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s that popr song, ¡®Legend of the Phoenix.¡¯ You¡¯re the most beautiful cloud in the sky. Let me try my best to make you stay...¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly realized that something was wrong after singing for a while. She was a little surprised, ¡°You haven¡¯t heard of it?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I haven¡¯t heard of it. There¡¯s no way I yed that song.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not believe him. She patted Ji Lingchen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Stop pretending. This song is popr all over the country.¡± ¡°I never listen to music. No matter how popr it is, I don¡¯t know. My phone doesn¡¯t have this song,¡± Ji Lingchen said teasingly. This made Fang Xiaonuan blush. He had seen through her lies. ¡°You took advantage of my situation and lied to me?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan blinked awkwardly and immediately changed the topic. ¡°You¡¯ve been eating for a while. Are you thirsty? I¡¯ll go get you some water.¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan ran out. He had only eaten for less than two minutes. Ji Lingchen looked at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s retreating figure and shook his head helplessly with a smile. When she reached the living room, Fang Xiaonuan saw that Feng Qi was there as well. She stopped in her tracks, and Feng Qi was stunned when she saw her. Both of them knew that they were afraid of quarreling with each other, but their destination was the same ¡ª the water dispenser. They got their water. It was so quiet that only the sound of the water dispenser could be heard. ¡°What time will you move out tomorrow?¡± Feng Qi looked at the water dispenser and pretended to ask as if she did not care about the answer. She no longer had a domineering aura, and she looked much gentler. ...... Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°We¡¯ll see once my husband sobers up.¡± ¡°If you leave, don¡¯te back. The Ji family should belong to Lingchen, and not a single cent will go missing. But the Ji family¡¯s mistress can only be me. You¡¯re too young topete with me. Although we don¡¯t like each other, we can be polite to each other to keep the peace. If you dare to be greedy and if you make Lingchen monopolize the Ji Corporation, I won¡¯t let it slide.¡± Feng Qi said as she closed her bottle. Fang Xiaonuan waspletely confused. Mistress? Monopolizing? ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you mean. What are you talking about?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand? Didn¡¯t you want to step on my head and be the mistress of the Ji family? Then, you can make Lingchen to do whatever you want, and the two of you can monopolize the Ji family.¡± Feng Qiughed mockingly. She did not understand why she had spoken so bluntly. What was Fang Xiaonuan hiding? Fang Xiaonuan held onto Ji Lingchen¡¯s cup of water, and her gaze was very sincere. She said to Feng Qi, ¡°I never thought of stealing the matriarch title from you. Also, the Ji family belongs to the Ji family. It has nothing to do with me. Sister-inw, I did not want to fight with you over anything.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, have you forgotten what you said when you bullied Rou¡¯er?¡± ¡°I bullied her?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pointed at herself and asked in surprise. Feng Qi replied, ¡°I know that Lingchen is outstanding, and that all the girls like him. You acted arrogantly in front of Rou¡¯er, arrogantly bullying her, and you even said that you wanted to lead the Ji family and steal my ce. Why, are you afraid to admit it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan wanted to iron out the misunderstanding. She tugged on Feng Qi¡¯s arm and said, ¡°This matter must be exined clearly. Now, I understand why you have been finding fault with me for the past few days. It seems that someone is trying to sow discord between us. I can swear to you that I never said that I wanted to be the matriarch of the Ji family, nor did I mention anything about the Ji Corporation. In fact, I didn¡¯t even say more than a few words to Lin Rou. If what I said today is even half false, I will die a horrible death. Please tell me, sister-inw, what did Miss Lin Rou tell you?¡± Feng Qi looked at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s serious expression. As the old saying went, a person¡¯s eyes told the truth. Feng Qi could see the sincerity in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes. Feng Qi suddenly remembered that night at the hotel. Her husband had told her that she was being used by the Lin family and cheated by Lin Rou, but she did not believe him. Now, Fang Xiaonuan had also said that someone had caused their discord. ¡°It was the day you returned home. That afternoon, what did you say to Rou¡¯er that made her cry?¡± Feng Qi asked Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°I was the one who met her that day.¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly came out from behind. He had already finished his food, and he wanted the water that Fang Xiaonuan was supposed to bring up. Thus, he went out to look for her, but in the end, he overheard their conversation. Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Scumbag

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°Sister-inw, Nuannuan has only met Miss Lin three times. I¡¯ve been there all of those three times. She has never had an argument with Miss Lin, let alone bullied her. On the day we returned, it was actually me and Miss Lin who were talking.¡± Ji Lingchen heard the gist of their conversation. When Feng Qi questioned Fang Xiaonuan, he spoke up. Feng Qi looked up at the tall Ji Lingchen. ¡°How could it have been you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me. I¡¯m sure you know how she feels about me. Now that I¡¯m married, I told Miss Lin not to waste her time on someone she has no chance with.¡± Ji Lingchen was a smart person. He had already figured everything out. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Right. I remember that day when father asked me to deal with her. I led him away and gave you two a chance to spend time together.¡± Feng Qi did not dare to believe it. After all, she had been friends with Lin Rou for many years. Her face was filled with confusion as she looked at Ji Lingchen. She wanted to say something, but she was hesitating. After all, no one in the Ji family dared to question him. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Sister-inw, I heard a lot of your conversation just now. After so many years, I know what you¡¯ve been worried about. Think carefully. Why would I lie to You? Right now, I can tell you very clearly that my wife will not ept this title as the matriarch of the Ji family. I will definitely not touch the Ji corporation. That belongs to Ji Wen.¡± Finding out that Ji Lingchen had wanted nothing to do with Lin Rou was shocking for both Fang Xiaonuan and Feng Qi. She had always thought that her husband was a scumbag who married her but had feelings for someone else. She poked Ji Lingchen¡¯s waist. ¡°You don¡¯t like Miss Lin?¡± Ji Lingchen asked Fang Xiaonuan in return, ¡°Do you think I would marry someone else if I was in love with someone else?¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment. She looked into Ji Lingchen¡¯s sincere eyes and shook her head. If he had someone in his heart, he definitely would not marry her, even if he was forced to. ¡°Seriously, you should have said it earlier! I even scolded you in my heart before.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was straightforward, did not know how to say what she was thinking. After saying this, she regretted it. Ji Lingchen smiled and asked, ¡°What did you scold me for?¡± He was smiling, but Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart was full of confusion. Fang Xiaonuan had once misunderstood his rtionship with Lin Rou. Thus, in her heart, she had called Ji Lingchen a scumbag for marrying her and having feelings for someone else. She found it hard to ept that sudden kiss as well. Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize that Ji Lingchen and Feng Qi were innocent. All of this was caused by Lin Rou¡¯s trickery and her own imagination. ...... Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Lingchen inadvertently looked at each other, and she immediately turned her face away in panic. Then, she said to Feng Qi, ¡°You should go back and think about whether this is the work of a viin.¡± Ji Lingchen held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Is the water ready?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said obediently. She raised the ss of water in her hand for Ji Lingchen to see. ¡°Then let¡¯s go back up and rest!¡± Ji Lingchen led Fang Xiaonuan past Feng Qi, leaving her alone in the hall to reflect. When they reached the bedroom, Ji Lingchen held onto the question from before, not letting go. ¡°What did you secretly scold me about?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you should know. I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll lose your wife as soon as you get married.¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought about it again and again, not daring to say it out loud. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me the truth, we won¡¯t move out tomorrow. You can enjoy yourself at the Ji family¡¯s house.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Jerk.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°What else?¡± ¡°Scumbag.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan hung her head and apologized. She secretly raised her head and nced at the man whose face was as hard as steel. He was staring at her intently. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. You can¡¯t me me for this. You didn¡¯t tell me that the two of you were not together,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said after mustering up the courage to speak. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Continue. What else have you scolded me for in your heart?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She did not dare to say anything else. ¡°My brain capacity is limited. I don¡¯t know enough words to scold people with. That¡¯s really it.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I don¡¯t think your brain is small.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s the same size as yours.¡± He simply could not talk too much with Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Lingchen¡¯s anger would rise every now and again. In the other bedroom, Feng Qi woke her sleeping husband when she returned to the room. ¡°Hubby, you told mest time that I was being used by the Lin family and that Rou¡¯er was lying to me. Why?¡± Mayor Ji picked up his sses on the bedside table and put them on. He asked in a groggy voice, ¡°What time is it? Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Feng Qi asked anxiously, ¡°Honey, wake up. Tell me clearly, why did you say that Rou¡¯er was deceiving me?¡± Chapter 41

Chapter 41: You Really Dare to Say It!

Mayor Ji was annoyed by his wife in the middle of the night. He sat up and looked at the person next to him. He sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s been so long, and you still haven¡¯t figured it out. Lin Rou has liked Lingchen for a long time, and now that Lingchen has married Fang Xiaonuan, doesn¡¯t that mean that Nuan Nuan is Lin Rou¡¯s enemy? Last time, Father already publicly stated that the Ji family does not wee her. If she wasn¡¯t allowed toe in, she could only use you to make things difficult for Fang Xiaonuan and cause a huge ruckus in our family. And since you¡¯ve been in our family for so many years, it¡¯s natural that Father would favor you. Everyone would think badly of Fang Xiaonuan, and under such circumstances, Lin Rou would be able to take advantage of the situation. Do you understand? Don¡¯t you love to read about gossip? If you can¡¯t see through such scheming tactics, then it¡¯s a waste of time.¡± Feng Qi nodded, still not fully understanding. Not long after, she asked again, ¡°Then why do you think Fang Xiaonuan doesn¡¯t want to be the mistress of the Ji family?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan was forced to marry Lingchen. Do you know why Fang Xiaonuan, who has settled down, fought with you that day? That¡¯s because everyone has a weakness, and Xiaonuan¡¯s weakness is her parents. Back then, Father used Xiaonuan¡¯s family to force Xiaonuan to marry Lingchen. Otherwise, why would that youngdy marry Lingchen, someone she hasn¡¯t even met before this, in her prime! Father forced her into marriage, so why would she be interested in fighting you for the title of the Ji family¡¯s mistress? You and I both know that this title does not mean much. It¡¯s because you care too much about your reputation. That¡¯s why you fell for Lin Rou¡¯s schemes little by little.¡± Mayor Ji understood Feng Qi¡¯s character. If he had said these words in the hotel a few days ago, she would definitely have thought that he had been brainwashed by Fang Xiaonuan or something. He had been waiting, waiting for his stupid wife, who had been taken advantage of and didn¡¯t even know it, to react. After she took the initiative to ask, he would give her this detailed exnation. This would be useful to Feng Qi. ¡°She was forced to marry into the family?¡± Things were much clearer for Feng Qi now. The truth was about to be revealed. ¡°Let me tell you one more thing and you¡¯ll understand. For the sake of Xiaonuan, the Fang family has reduced all their cooperation with thepany. They only work with their old clients to prove to the Ji family that they are not selling their daughter for glory. Moreover, given Xiaonuan¡¯s age, she could even pass for our daughter. The Fang family¡¯s two elders are famous for spoiling their daughter. How could they bear to let Xiaonuan marry? Feng Qi, we¡¯re not kids anymore. We need to analyze everything carefully. Our brains are for thinking, and not for being tricked.¡± After saying this, Mayor Ji took off his sses and put them on the bed. Feng Qi reacted. She recalled Lin Rou¡¯s words and thought about them carefully. Everything Lin Rou said was to rope her in and incite her hostility towards Fang Xiaonuan. At the same time, Feng Qi also thought about how Fang Xiaonuan had always wanted to move out. Her fighting for power in the Ji family was highly unlikely. Clearly, she did not want to have anything to do with the Ji family. This time, she waspletely wrong. Mayor Ji slowly fell asleep. Feng Qi did not sleep the entire night. She was awake until the servants knocked on her door at dawn. ... The next day, the breakfast table of the Ji family was exceptionally calm. Old Master Ji wiped his hands with a wet towel and asked Ji Lingchen, ¡°Are you preparing to leave today?¡± Ji Lingchen nced at Fang Xiaonuan, who was following him, and replied, ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll take Xiaonuan away after breakfast.¡± Old MasterJi said, ¡°Where will you live?¡± Old Master Ji wanted to hear the answer. Although he might not, he still wanted Ji Lingchen to tell him where it was. ¡°I just bought a new house. It¡¯s closer to thepany.¡± Ji Lingchen did not specify the exact location of the house. Old Master Ji was a little disappointed. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan behind Ji Lingchen and reminded her, ¡°I hope you won¡¯t be too free once you¡¯ve moved out of this house. If you have nothing to do, bring Lingchen back to visit often.¡± ...... ¡°Dad, haven¡¯t I made you angry enough yet!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was in a very happy mood because she was about to leave the Ji family¡¯s old house. Her tone was rarely rxed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll definitely bring Lingchen here soon ande back just to make you angry.¡± After being in the Fang family for so long, Fang Xiaonuan also understood what Old Master Ji meant. Ji Lingchen did not live in the old mansion to begin with, he would note back of his own ord. Her words were also making it clear to Old Master Ji. Although they had moved out, she would bring Lingchen back to visit him. Old Master Ji was not angry after hearing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words. He understood the hidden meaning in her words, so he smiled and said, ¡°You really dare to say it!¡± Feng Qi washed her hands and sat down quietly. She stirred the porridge with her spoon and did not say a word. Chapter 42 - Rich Young Master Ji

Chapter 42: Rich Young Master Ji

After breakfast, when the two were about to leave, a cool sports car stopped at the entrance of the Ji family¡¯s old mansion. Then, a servant came into the house and reported, ¡°Master, eldest young master, eldest young madam, Xiaowen is back.¡± ¡°Ah? My son is back.¡± Feng Qi immediately stood up and went out to wee him. Fang Xiaonuan realized the change in the atmosphere at the entrance of the mansion. It was likely that the rich young master of the Ji family had returned. At this moment, she would never have thought that she would meet someone she was familiar with. Old Master Ji said to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°When you and Lingchen got married, Xiaowen was out traveling and had note back yet. This a good opportunity for you to meet Xiaowen.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded obediently. She really wanted to see what Feng Qi¡¯s child looked like. Ji Lingchen wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Initially, he wanted to say that it was not necessary to meet a naughty child, but on second thought, Fang Xiaonuan was also older than Ji Wen. If he wanted to meet her, then so be it! A familiar voice sounded from outside the house. ¡°Mom, I brought you a bunch of gifts, like skin care products and cosmetics. It will be enough for you to use for a long time! Dad, I bought you a big box of good cigarettes and wine. I also brought back a lot of good things for my grandfather...¡± Fang Xiaonuan heard this voice and thought to herself, ¡®This is not good.¡¯ Could it be that the rich young master of the Ji family is that little demon? He definitely did not want to see her. With that question turning itself over in her heart, Fang Xiaonuan wanted to confirm her guess even more. Ji Wen looked like a ruffian. His hair was dyed in several colors, and he wore earrings. His entire body exuded the aura of a sunny youth. He was the only grandson of the Ji family, so naturally, he was pampered and doted on by Old Master Ji. He had the temperament of a rich family¡¯s son. Feng Qi realized that her son had missed her, so she patted her son¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Quicklye inside. Your grandfather is waiting!¡± ¡°Okay! Mom, more than a dozen cars will being to deliver things. Pick them up. I¡¯m going in to look for my grandfather.¡± Ji Wen gave Feng Qi a big hug and was about to enter the house. ¡°Okay, wait a moment. Your uncle is married, and his wife is also inside. Behave yourself. Don¡¯t scare her.¡± Feng Qi did not have any bad intentions. Everyone had a weakness, and Lin Rou knew that her weakness was her son. Thus, she had used this opportunity to rile her up. After thinking about itst night, Feng Qi acknowledged Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ce. However, she was more concerned about her pride, so she did not say anything. ¡°What? My uncle is home!¡± Ji Wen¡¯s first reaction when he heard that Ji Lingchen was at home was that he wanted to escape, so he quickly ignored her mention of his uncle getting married. Ji Wen was afraid of Ji Lingchen. He was extremely afraid of him, just like how a mouse was afraid of a cat. Ever since he was a child, his entire family had doted on him. Only his uncle was a devil, and whenever he saw him, he would scold him. No one was willing to touch him, but he was beaten ck and blue by his uncle. If he did not study hard, his parents would not take it seriously, but his uncle punished him by making him copy out whole books. If he could not finish copying them, he would be beaten. ...... ¡°You didn¡¯t do anything wrong this time. Don¡¯t be afraid. Your uncle can¡¯t beat you,¡± Feng Qi said. Ji Wen shook his head. He wanted to escape, but Feng Qi stopped him. ¡°Your uncle is married. You must go in and see his new wife. Don¡¯t worry. Your uncle will be moving out soon. No one will hit you.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see Lin Rou. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen her before. Mom, let me tell you. This Lin Rou isn¡¯t a good person.¡± Hearing his son¡¯s evaluation of Lin Rou, Feng Qi paused. After a while, she said, ¡°It¡¯s not her. It¡¯s someone else.¡± Ji Wen was a little happy. It was fine as long as it was not Lin Rou. However, howe his uncle got married so quickly? He did not leave. Instead, he prepared to go in to take a look. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as it¡¯s not that Lin Rou. My uncle got married so fast. I have to go in and take a look!¡± Inside, Fang Xiaonuan had already confirmed Ji Wen¡¯s identity when she heard the voices outside. She asked Old Master Ji, ¡°That... Dad, is Xiaowen¡¯s full name Ji Wen?¡± Old Master Ji nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! The two of you are in the same university! When school starts, the two of you can go together and take care of each other.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who had just received confirmation about her suspicions, blinked and muttered softly, ¡°He might not want to go with me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words aroused Ji Lingchen¡¯s curiosity. He looked at his wife, who seemed very worried. Again, his eyes seemed to be able to see right through her. Outside the door, Ji Wen¡¯s fear of Ji Lingchen was defeated by his own burning curiosity. He walked straight into the Ji residence, walked under the eaves, and entered the main hall of the Ji residence. Three people were sitting on the sofa. Sitting in front was Old Master Ji, and he was still as imposing as ever. Ji Lingchen, who was sitting beside him, was the person Ji Wen feared the most. On the other side of Old Master Ji sat his very serious father, who had neverid a hand on him. Chapter 43 - Deskmate, Hello

Chapter 43: Deskmate, Hello

Just as Ji Wen was wondering where his uncle¡¯s new wife was, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly appeared in the hall. ¡°Hi, Ji Wen, I¡¯m your aunt, Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had just gone to the washroom. When she came out, she saw this familiar figure, so she went up to greet him. Ji Wen let out a blood-curdling scream, and without any exaggeration, he was so scared he fell to the ground. If Ji Lingchen was the person he feared the most, then Fang Xiaonuan was only second to him. ¡°Deskmate, hello. I heard that we are from the same university!¡± Seeing Ji Wen¡¯s reaction, Fang Xiaonuan began to tease him. However, this was also a fact that she had just learned. The entire room was shocked. Everyone looked at Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen. Even Ji Lingchen was a little surprised. Fang Xiaonuan and his nephew were deskmates? Ji Wen waspletely shocked. He had never thought that his uncle, who he was most afraid of, would get married in a sh and marry his deskmate, who he feared as well. He turned around and wanted to escape from this chaotic ce. For now, he only thought of saving himself. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Lingchen said in unison to Ji Wen, who was nning to escape, ¡°Come back!¡± After saying that, the newlyweds looked at each other. Ji Wen had happily returned home. He had not expected to receive bad news on his first day back. First, his uncle was home. Second, Fang Xiaonuan was also at his home. Third, his uncle had married Fang Xiaonuan. It was over. It was over. His hard days were about to begin. Everyone in the room was stunned. From Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tone towards Ji Wen,it seemed like the two of them had argued before. Old Master Ji was the first to ask, ¡°Xiaonuan, are you and Xiaowen deskmates?¡± Fang Xiaonuan walked over to Ji Lingchen¡¯s side and sat down. She nodded. ¡°Yes, we were deskmates in high school.¡± ¡°No, we were deskmates in primary school, junior high school, and high school,¡± Ji Wen added, restraining himself. He wanted to cry but no tears woulde. Fang Xiaonuan agreed and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, we have always been deskmates.¡± Ji Wen was simply a little tyrant in school until he started to be deskmates with Fang Xiaonuan. That was when his miserable journey had begun. He had said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, wipe the table for me, clean up for me, and do my homework for me. I¡¯m telling you, if you don¡¯t dare to do my homework for me, I¡¯ll beat you up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had said to him, ¡°You want to beat me up?¡± The young Fang Xiaonuan had not given Ji Wen a chance to say anything. She punched Ji Wen in the face, then grabbed his hair and pushed him onto the desk. ¡°You still want to order me around? How¡¯s your pride doing?¡± ...... That happened in the second grade of elementary school. It was the first time Ji Wen was beaten up by Fang Xiaonuan. In Ji Wen¡¯s spoiled childhood, Fang Xiaonuan was simply a shadow that loomed over him. After that, he was in charge of wiping Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s desk, cleaning up, and doing her homework. ... In junior high, Ji Wen grew very quickly. He was the tallest among his ssmates. Originally, he and Fang Xiaonuan were not in the same ss, but when he thought of the humiliation he had suffered in primary school, he had his family pull some strings so that he could purposely share a desk with Fang Xiaonuan. He wanted to get back at her for the humiliation he had suffered in the past, but it was not surprising what happened next. Ji Wen fell right into his old job of wiping desks, cleaning up, and doing her homework again. In high school, Ji Wen thought that he was tall and strong, even taller than Fang Xiaonuan by half a head. It was no problem for him to defeat her. In the end, he found out that Fang Xiaonuan had started studying at the taekwondo dojo when she was young. She had long been a ck belt all these years. Not only did she know taekwondo, but she also knew other forms of martial arts. At that time, Ji Wen took a week off to rest at home. After school started, he transferred to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ss and continued his three-year term as her little brother. Finally, he was in university. Ji Wen had finally gotten through it. He was so happy that he had cried. His wonderful university life had made him forget all about the humiliation he had suffered as a so called little brother all these years. He had also forgotten about the great devil, Fang Xiaonuan. However, fate had yed a huge joke on him. The great devil, Fang Xiaonuan had now be his aunt. How could Ji Wen ept this? Fang Xiaonuan had never thought that the boy she had bullied since young would turn out to be the only child of the Ji family. He had even be her nephew. It seemed that their fate was predestined. ¡°It seems that my fate and the Ji family¡¯s fate are very intertwined!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words got Ji Lingchen¡¯s attention. The way he looked at his nephew changed. ¡°Get over here and sit properly. Get to know your aunt.¡± Ji Wen was not willing to go over. ¡°Uncle, you might as well marry that Lin Rou. Lin Rou is a scheming b*tch. She¡¯s a tigress.¡± Fang Xiaonuan clicked her tongue. ¡°What did I do to you? Didn¡¯t I treat you wellwhen we sat at the same table?¡± Did she not let him do chores for her, run errands, and do her homework? Thanks to Ji Wen, Fang Xiaonuan rarely did her homework. She did not even do much cleaning at school. Even when she wanted to drink water, this little boy would fetch her water bottle for her. Chapter 44 - The Two Demons Are Part of One Family

Chapter 44: The Two Demons Are Part of One Family

The story between the two could not be told in one night. Old Master Ji called Ji Wen over and asked him to sit with him. ¡°Your uncle won¡¯t dare to do anything to you when you¡¯re with Grandpa.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s gaze was fixed on Ji Wen. She said with a smile, ¡°Ji Wen, so you¡¯re afraid of my husband!¡± The Ji family believed that Fang Xiaonuan was saying ¡°afraid¡±, but to Ji Wen, Fang Xiaonuan meant ¡°still afraid¡±. The youth who had been in high spirits at the Ji family¡¯s entrance was now sitting timidly beside Old Master Ji. Of course, the Ji family did not expect Fang Xiaonuan to know Ji Wen. The person in question was also surprised. After finding out that Ji Wen was part of the Ji family, she was now feeling entertained. Because Ji Wen had returned, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Lingchen decided to move out in the afternoon. During lunch, Ji Wen gave Fang Xiaonuan a look. They had been deskmates for more than ten years, so there must be some tacit understanding between the two of them. With just a nce, Fang Xiaonuan knew what he was trying to do. After lunch, Fang Xiaonuan found an opportunity to sneak up the stairs. Seeing that no one else was paying attention, Ji Wen held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand and they walked toward the backyard. However, the man on the second floor saw this clearly. Ji Lingchen ced his hands on the railing and looked in the direction his nephew and wife had run off to. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed, and his gaze became sharp. He pretended to walk down the stairs as if nothing had happened and walked toward the backyard too. When they reached the small dark corner in the backyard, Fang Xiaonuan shook off Ji Wen¡¯s hand. ¡°Nephew, I¡¯m your aunt now. You have to keep a certain distance from your aunt.¡± ¡°D*mn you! Fang Xiaonuan, why did you marry my uncle?¡± Ji Wen questioned Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan smiled. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be begging me not to tell your family about your embarrassing incidents at school?¡± Ji Wen was extremely frustrated. He was upset that Fang Xiaonuan had married her uncle. ¡°Why do you think you should be married to my uncle?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your uncle?¡± Ji Wen whispered into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ear. He was so mischievous and he was ready to stir up trouble. He really could not ept the fact that two demons were part of the same family. ...... ¡°Really?¡± Fang Xiaonuan widened her eyes in shock. She covered her mouth with both hands, afraid that she would shout out loud. ¡°Your uncle really...¡± Ji Wen nodded and said very sincerely, ¡°I overheard what my grandfather said. Shhh... Don¡¯t tell anyone. I only told you because you¡¯re my senior.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Of course, I won¡¯t tell anyone about such a big thing.¡± The two of them were leaning close as they whispered to each other. Ji Lingchen stood behind the two of them and just looked at them. ¡°Emmmm, that... Fang Xiaonuan, please don¡¯t tell my family that you knocked me down three times.¡± She sighed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t ruin your pride. Besides, if I tell your family, your mother will kill me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan patted Ji Wen on the shoulder. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect your uncle to be Ji Lingchen. I only knew that you were a second generation, but I didn¡¯t know that you were a rich second generation.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°You haven¡¯t told me why you married my uncle!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That¡¯s a good question. I also want to know why I married your uncle.¡± Only Old Master Ji knew the real reason for this ridiculous marriage, but he had not disclosed it. ¡°Hey, look, have you entered that small ck room?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, pointing at the small ck room where she had been locked up for a while. Ji Wen said, ¡°That room was specially designed for me by my uncle. How could I not have entered it before?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°So you were the one who drew the vertical lines on the wall?¡± ¡°Do you mean that you¡¯ve been in there?¡± The two of them were very surprised. ¡°Yes, I drew those.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve gone inside before.¡± The two of them immediately saw each other as if they wererades-in-arms. Fang Xiaonuan shook hands with Ji Wen. ¡°So we¡¯re on the same side. We share weal and woe!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right, Fang Xiaonuan. You¡¯re a new wife. Why did you enter the dark room?¡± Ji Wen was a little curious. Usually, he would be thrown in when he made an unforgivable mistake. How could Fang Xiaonuan be punished when she was a new wife? ¡°You don¡¯t know because you haven¡¯t been home. Your mother and I fought countless times and even got into a physical fight.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Senior, I thank you for showing mercy to my mother.¡± ¡°No need to thank me. I never knew that she was your mother. I¡¯ll be moving away in the afternoon. I won¡¯t have any more disagreements with your mother.¡± Fang Xiaonuan only found outst night that someone had coaxed Feng Qi to behave like this toward her. Chapter 45 - He’s Your Nephew

Chapter 45: He¡¯s Your Nephew

Ji Wen said curiously, ¡°I know my mother¡¯s character. She values her reputation very much. Logically speaking, the two of you won¡¯t quarrel.¡± ¡°This matter can¡¯t be exined in a short amount of time. Your mother and I only found out the reasonst night.¡± Ji Wen turned around and saw his uncle standing not far from him under the scorching sun. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and took a closer look. It really was his uncle. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, why is my uncle standing under the scorching sun and looking at us?¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned around and narrowed her eyes at her husband. She said, ¡°He¡¯s probably sunbathing to replenish his calcium!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°That makes sense.¡± Ji Lingchen could not bear to watch any longer. He took his hands out of his pockets and walked toward the two of them aggressively. The weather was obviously hot, but the two of them felt a gust of cold air approaching them. The two of them stood properly as if they were mischievous students waiting for a lecture from their teacher. Ji Lingchen walked in front of the two of them, his face dark, and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t get enough of the sun outside? You think I still have to go out to sunbathe when I get home?¡± Ji Wen acted a little innocent. He leaned over to his deskmate. ¡°Aren¡¯t you also sunbathing to replenish calcium?¡± Ji Lingchen pulled Fang Xiaonuan to his side. ¡°And you, watch your step. He¡¯s your nephew!¡± The two of them stayed quiet. Ji Lingchen grabbed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand and pulled her away from the backyard. Fang Xiaonuan staggered and almost fell. Ji Lingchen picked her up. ¡°You need to have eyes to see where you¡¯re going.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was dragged away. She turned her head and mouthed to Ji Wen, ¡°Your uncle is angry.¡± Ji Wen mouthed back, ¡°I can tell.¡± Ji Lingchen noticed the interaction between his nephew and his wife, so he tugged hard again. Fang Xiaonuan stumbled again, and Ji Lingchen carried her horizontally into the hall. ...... Ji Lingchen did not want to stay any longer. When he thought about his wife and his little rascal nephew, who had been deskmates for more than ten years, he did not feel good. He informed Old Master Ji that he was going to leave, but because Ji Wen had just returned today, Old Master Ji did not want him to leave in such a hurry. He stopped him. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Leave tomorrow.¡± ¡°After dinner, we¡¯ll leave.¡± Ji Lingchen made his final concession. For the rest of the afternoon, Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze never left Fang Xiaonuan. Even when she went to the bathroom, he kept his gaze on the door. Fang Xiaonuan could sense that there was something wrong with the man. He did not leave her sight either. This made Fang Xiaonuan feel suffocated. Finally, it was nighttime. Because Ji Wen had returned, Old Master Ji was very happy. Even the dinner was exceptionally sumptuous. When Ji Lingchen pulled Fang Xiaonuan down the stairs, everyone had already arrived. Mayor Ji said a few words to ask Ji Lingchen to stay. Even Feng Qi wore a rare pleasant expression. If it was before Ji Wen had returned, Ji Lingchen might have stayed. But now, he explicitly refused. Ji Wen slowly cut the steak in front of him. He did not say a word to ask Ji Lingchen to stay, because even if he did, everyone knew that it would sound insincere. As he cut the steak, the tattoo on his hand became harder to miss. Feng Qi pointed at Ji Wen¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? How could you turn into a bad child?¡± ¡°Mom, a tattoo doesn¡¯t mean I¡¯m a bad child. That¡¯s the proof that I¡¯ve stepped into society,¡± Ji Wen said. Feng Qi looked at Ji Lingchen. ¡°Lingchen, we can¡¯t control him. Tell Ji Wen.¡± Ji Lingchen was the only person in the Ji family who could control Ji Wen. Ji Lingchen usually returned to the old mansion to discipline his nephew. When Ji Wen saw Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze, he immediately put his hand behind his back. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m old enough. You said before that when I turned eighteen...¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t let me see the tattoo on your hands. Either chop off your hands or remove the tattoo.¡± Ji Wen had a mournful look on his face. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan, hoping that his aunt and deskmate would speak up for him. However, Fang Xiaonuan was confused. ¡°Why are you looking at me? Your uncle asked you to chop off your hands, not me.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Three minutes. If you can¡¯t remove it, I¡¯ll get someone to help you.¡± ¡°No, no, no need to trouble yourself. One minute will do.¡± Ji Wen, who was alone and helpless, had a sad expression on his face. He got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out, his hands were clean and there was not a single trace of a ¡°tattoo¡±. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly understood. ¡°So, it wasn¡¯t permanent!¡± Ji Wen did not dare to really put a tattoo on his body. However, to satisfy his desire for one, he paid a high price for a very realistic tattoo to be put on his hands. Mayor Ji hated that his son¡¯s hair was always colorful. Taking advantage of Ji Lingchen¡¯s presence at home, he said, ¡°Dye your hair ck.¡± Chapter 46 - Holding On Tightly

Chapter 46: Holding On Tightly

Ji Wen subconsciously looked at Ji Lingchen and made a final struggle. ¡°Uncle, you said that you wouldn¡¯t care about me once I was over eighteen.¡± Ji Lingchen looked coldly at his nephew. ¡°You should know that I don¡¯t like to talk nonsense.¡± Ji Wen pulled at the roots of his hair with one hand. ¡°Uncle, this hair is real. To dye it back to ck, I have to go to a barbershop. It¡¯s already sote. Can I dye it tomorrow?¡± Ji Wen was afraid that Ji Lingchen would disagree, so he added, ¡°I¡¯ll get up early in the morning to dye it.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°There are many barbershops that are open 24 hours a day. Within an hour, I want to see that your hair is ck.¡± Feng Qi had not spoken to Ji Lingchen and his wife today. Now that she had the opportunity, she tried to persuade them to stay. ¡°Lingchen, why don¡¯t you stay? You can help me discipline Ji Wen if you stay at home.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll give you some food. Eat, eat quickly.¡± Ji Wen quickly covered his mother¡¯s mouth, determined not to let her continue. Uncle Devil and Little Devil were seated at the same table. If the husband and wife wanted to leave, they would leave. If they wanted to stay, they would naturally stay. Ji Wen only wanted them to leave and leave quickly! After the meal, Ji Lingchen asked the servants to carry all the luggage down. Now, all that was left was Ji Wen¡¯s hair. Ji Lingchen stared at Ji Wen¡¯s head and said, ¡°When are you going to dye your hair?¡± Ji Wen¡¯s little heart pounded as he looked at Ji Lingchen. He calmed himself down. ¡°Uncle, can you leave first? I¡¯ll dye it in a while. I promise you today that I¡¯ll dye it ck.¡± Feng Qi pped her son¡¯s back. ¡°What are you saying?¡± How could he say something so direct? He sounded like he was chasing Ji Lingchen away. Feng Qi was very hesitant. She wanted Ji Lingchen and his wife to leave, but she also wanted Ji Lingchen to help her discipline Ji Wen. Ji Lingchen was impatient now. An hour had passed during dinner, so he ordered, ¡°Butler, go get the hairdresser!¡± ¡°No, no, no. Uncle, I¡¯ll go now. I¡¯ll go now.¡± Ji Wen reached out to grab the butler. He was terrified in front of Ji Lingchen. He had originally nned to meet a few friends tomorrow to show off his new hair color. In the end, because he met his uncle first, that was no longer an option. The most infuriating thing was that the woman beside his uncle had been holding back herughter. What was so funny about this! From the moment Fang Xiaonuan saw Ji Wen, the smile on her face had never wavered. Whenever she saw Ji Wen admitting defeat to her husband, she could not help butugh. It seemed that she was really Ji Wen¡¯s nemesis! ...... In Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s snickering seemed more like a young woman¡¯s joy when she looked at someone she cared about. Coincidentally, whenever Ji Lingchen turned his attention to Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan were looking at each other. Ji Wen mouthed to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Stopughing. Hurry up and help me out.¡± They had been deskmates for many years. Even though Fang Xiaonuan could not see Ji Wen¡¯s lips clearly, she understood his message instantly. She shook her head. ¡°You want me to help you? That¡¯s impossible.¡± Themunication between the two made Ji Lingchen, who had been observing his wife, angry. He narrowed his eyes. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, are you happy to see Ji Wen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was ¡°chatting¡± with Ji Wen when her husband suddenly asked. She did not hear him clearly and subconsciously replied, ¡°Huh?¡± Unfortunately, this ¡°Huh?¡± was misinterpreted as an affirmation. This made the fire in the man¡¯s heart burn brighter. Feng Qi, who was standing beside them, could feel Ji Lingchen¡¯s displeasure. However, her brainless son and the unlikable Fang Xiaonuan did not notice it at all. They even made it worse! Ji Wen stepped in front of the two of them and grabbed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s wrist. ¡°Come with me.¡± After saying that, Ji Wen pulled his uncle¡¯s wife away in front of his uncle. Most importantly, Fang Xiaonuan even left with Ji Wen with a smile. After the two of them disappeared, the hall became silent. One could even hear a pin drop. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°Sister-inw, Ji Wen is twenty-one this year, right? He¡¯s not young anymore. It¡¯s time for him to get married.¡± Feng Qi¡¯s mouth twitched. Twenty-one years old? Not young anymore? Time to get married? ¡°Lingchen, he¡¯s still young,¡± Feng Qi said weakly. After they disappeared, the two went to the backyardwn. Ji Wen stuffed his phone into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Quick, take a photo of me. I have to dye my hair backter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan held the phone andughed out loud. ¡°Ji Wen, this is all you¡¯ve got. You¡¯ve been bested by your uncle. Your dignity is lost!¡± Chapter 47 - Shaved Head

Chapter 47: Shaved Head

Ji Wen was a little unconvinced, but when he thought of his uncle, he did not dare to show it in the slightest. He stood on thewn with his hands in his pockets, making the pose that he thought made him look the most handsome. ¡°Isn¡¯t he handsome? Isn¡¯t he charming?¡± Ji Wen asked Fang Xiaonuan, who was taking photos for him, narcissistically. Fang Xiaonuan stepped back, holding her phone and tapping the camera button non-stop. ¡°Quickly change your pose. If you don¡¯t do it now, you won¡¯t have another chance.¡± Ji Wen thought about how he would have ck hair in the future. He changed poses as fast as a model at Taobao might. Even before Fang Xiaonuan could capture him in a new pose, he switched poses again. Ji Lingchen stood by the window and watched the young people ying outside. Fang Xiaonuan looked the happiest she had ever been since marrying into the Ji family. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Men, bring Ji Wen back here and shave his head.¡± Feng Qi was shocked by Ji Lingchen¡¯s words. She did not expect him to be serious, so she quickly went forward to plead with him. ¡°Lingchen, listen to sister-inw. Xiaowen knows he¡¯s wrong. Don¡¯t really shave his head. He¡¯s your nephew.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was unwavering as he gestured for the servants to do as he said. In no time, Ji Wen was dragged into the living room. ¡°Hey, what are you doing? I¡¯m just taking photos. I¡¯m going to post it on my WeChat moments to prove that I really dyed my hair. Why are you apprehending me? Why aren¡¯t you doing it to Fang Xiaonuan?¡± Ji Wen felt that it was unfair and protested loudly. Fang Xiaonuan held Ji Wen¡¯s phone and yelled at him, ¡°Ji Wen, why are you so shameless? I ran out in the sun to take photos of you, and you want me to get apprehended by servants? I¡¯m going to kick you in the face for three days, so hard that you won¡¯t even know which way is up.¡± She took her phone and followed him into the living room. ¡°Do you think that I won¡¯t delete all the pictures I just took?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Don¡¯t, please don¡¯t. That¡¯s my life!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was dark. He pointed at the stool. ¡°Let him sit down. Hold him down. Butler, shave all of his hair off.¡± What? Shave his head? For real? Realizing what was about to happen, Ji Wen immediately begged for mercy. ¡°Uncle, I was wrong. I¡¯m going to dye my hair back to ck now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a vengeful person. Ji Wen had asked the servants to apprehend her and she now held a grudge. At this moment, she was gloating. ¡°Hubby, shave his head and teach him a lesson.¡± ...... Feng Qi red at Fang Xiaonuan. This was a troublemaker. She did not mind watching the show. Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart skipped a beat because of how she addressed him. He turned to look at his gloating wife. He could see the anticipation in her eyes. Feng Qi said anxiously, ¡°Lingchen, you were going to find Xiaowen a wife just now. If you shave his head now, he¡¯ll be too ugly. What girl would like him?¡± Roar... Roar... Roar... Ji Wen was going to get a wife? Ji Wen looked at Ji Lingchen in horror. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed and his legs trembled in fear. ¡°Uncle, what do you mean by finding a wife?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. She ran to Ji Lingchen¡¯s side excitedly and reached out to pull on his sleeve. ¡°Ji Lingchen, who is Ji Wen¡¯s wife?¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. The way his wife addressed him changed from time to time. ¡°What did you call me?¡± ¡°Ji Lingchen, Lingchen, husband? Who Is Ji Wen¡¯s wife? Tell me quickly! I want to see if I know her, okay!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s great curiosity made her ignore the fact that she was acting coquettishly towards Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen heard the pleasant nickname again, and his face became less serious. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been decided yet. As his aunt, his marriage is something you have a say in.¡± ¡°Definitely. Don¡¯t worry, leave this matter to me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. She looked at the man who was being held down by the maid and smiled evilly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, nephew. As your aunt, I will definitely arrange your marriage. I will definitely find you a good wife!¡± Feng Qi saw that the situation had reached a point where she could not control it, so she immediately found a maid. ¡°Quickly, find the master and ask him to save Xiaowen.¡± The servant understood everything that had just happened in the hall. For the sake of Ji Wen¡¯s hair, she jogged upstairs to look for Master Ji. ¡°Master, youngest master is in trouble.¡± ... In the hall, Ji Lingchen was already preparing for the shaving to start. Only by solving Ji Wen¡¯s hair problem would he be able to leave this ce with his wife. ¡°Ji Lingchen, what are you doing?¡± Old Master Ji was still on the stairs when his voice rang out. ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa quickly, save me.¡± Ji Wen seemed to have heard a savior¡¯s voice and he was in tears.

At this moment, Ji Wen was happy that his grandfather was still alive and had some say in the Ji family. He would not let his uncle control everything. However, what Ji Wen did not know was that if Ji Lingchen was determined to do something, even the heavenly king would not be able to stop him, let alone his father. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eloquent little wife opened her mouth and exined to Old Master Ji, ¡°Dad, my husband is styling my deskmate¡¯s hair!¡± Ji Lingchen nced at his wife. How could she say something like that? When Old Master Ji appeared, he waved his hand and dismissed the servants who were holding Ji Wen down. Ji Wen was freed and he escaped in a sh. He was so fast that even Fang Xiaonuan was shocked. She thought to herself, ¡®If this guy could run this fast when we were in school, I wouldn¡¯t have bested him so many times.¡¯ Old Master Ji looked at Ji Lingchen and his wife, who were standing side by side. He then looked at the push-cart in their midst and said, ¡°The two of you¡­¡± ¡°Dad, do you want to have your hair styled? My husband will do it himself. It¡¯s free!¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked yfully. Old Master Ji snorted. His expression was darker than coal. He pointed at his head. ¡°What? Are you going to shave my head?¡± It seemed like a certain irritating young woman could no longer control her mouth. She pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice, ¡°Anyway, Dad¡¯s hair is almost gone. It¡¯s better to shave my head. That¡¯ll make my hair easier to wash.¡± Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was courting death. He immediately relinquished his hold on the trolley and pulled Fang Xiaonuan to the bedroom. Following that, the sound of things being smashed could be heard from the hall. However, the culprit still had an innocent look on her face. ¡°Hubby, is Dad angry because of what I said?¡± ¡°In the entire Ji family, you¡¯re the first person who dares to say that he¡¯s bald. You really dared to say that,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Ugh, how do I put this! Honest words are harsh to the ear, but they are not harsh words! My words are not pleasant, but I am honest!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said very seriously. ...... Ji Lingchen did not speak, and the sound of destruction in the hall did not stop. It seemed that the old man was once again affected by Fang Xiaonuan. She also suspected that he was doing this to protect Ji Wen¡¯s hair. ¡°Alright, alright! It doesn¡¯t matter. Anyway, we are leaving today. Once we walk out the door, I will be free. I will fly high in the sky.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Lingchen who was frowning and evenforted him. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You can¡¯t say that the old man is bald and continue to be a troublemaker even if we move away.¡± ¡°Think about it! We¡¯ll be leaving soon. No matter how angry your father is, he can¡¯t control me anymore. Hubby, don¡¯t frown. It¡¯s not pretty, and it¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s scary,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said jokingly. It was clear that when Old Master Ji was angry, he would try to control her. It was already past eight o¡¯clock in the evening. Ji Lingchen and his wife were still at the Ji family¡¯s old residence. Theter it got, the more uneasy Fang Xiaonuan felt. She urged Ji Lingchen more than once, ¡°Let¡¯s hurry up and leave!¡± Old Master Ji red at Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Have you ever seen anyone move out at night?¡± Judging from Old Master Ji¡¯s attitude, he would not let the couple leave tonight. Fang Xiaonuan was frightened by his re. She inconspicuously moved closer to Ji Lingchen. ¡°Everything is packed. We can leave at any time,¡± Ji Lingchen said when he felt as if there was a frightened kitten hiding behind him. Old Master Ji looked down on the little person who hid behind the man whenever something happened. She dared to say that he was bald, but now she was hiding. Where was her confidence now? He continued looking down at her. Old Master Ji said, ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave tonight. Don¡¯t you still have to style my hair?¡± Hearing Old Master Ji¡¯s words, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart turned cold. She thought to herself, ¡®It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. I¡¯ve already said it. I said it once and he¡¯ll remember it forever. He¡¯ll never let it go. Why did I forget that? Ahhhh! Ji Lingchen was secretly protecting his wife. ¡°Dad, my fees are too high. You can¡¯t afford it.¡± Hur! Didn¡¯t he say that it was free? Old Master Ji was lucky that he did not have a heart attack just then. Otherwise, the husband and wife would definitely send him straight to the ICU. Would the husband and wife team up to anger him? Then he would get back at them with anger! ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave today! Butler, lock the door for me!¡± Old Master Ji knew that these two people were anxious to move out. The butler, who was standing by the side, reminded him, ¡°Xiaowen went out to dye his hair, but he hasn¡¯te back yet.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Leave a back door open for him.¡± Coincidentally, Ji Wen had just returned. His hairstyle was back to normal, and it was much more pleasing to the eye than the gaudy hair from before. When he entered the house, the first thing he did was walk in front of Ji Lingchen. ¡°Uncle, please check it. I¡¯ve dyed it a few times to ensure that every strand of hair is ck.¡± Chapter 49 - Harming Others Without Benefiting Oneself

Fang Xiaonuan, who was hiding behind Ji Lingchen, immediately emerged from her husband¡¯s protection when she saw Ji Wen return. ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Fang Xiaonuan reached out her hand to check her hair. Ji Wen pped Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand away. ¡°I asked my uncle to check. I didn¡¯t ask you to check it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m your uncle¡¯s wife. Me checking it is the same as him checking it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan rubbed the back of her hand. Then, she showed the back of her hand to Ji Lingchen andined in a cute voice, ¡°Hubby, look, it¡¯s red.¡± Ji Lingchen grabbed his wife¡¯s soft hand and looked at it carefully. Then, he said to Ji Wen with a cold gaze, ¡°Apologize.¡± Ji Wen held onto thest bit of stubbornness he had left. ¡°I won¡¯t. She deserves it. I¡¯m asking you to check my hair.¡± ¡°Yes, she deserves it,¡± Old Master Ji added angrily. Men, women, and young people all cared about their appearances. A taboo subject for women was their wrinkles; for men, it was their balding. Although Old Master Ji was no longer young and had lost a certain amount of hair, he refused to be called bald! Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. She continued to hide behind Ji Lingchen silently. Right now, it was more prudent to rely on her husband. The most important thing now was to leave the Ji family¡¯s home as soon as possible. ¡°Ji Lingchen, there¡¯s nothing wrong with Ji Wen¡¯s hair. Let¡¯s go!¡± Ji Lingchen listened carefully to the way his little wife was addressing him. Now, he had a name again. It seemed that when he was being useful to her, she called him ¡°Husband¡± and when he was not, he was ¡°Ji Lingchen¡±. He was displeased. ¡°Dad is right. It¡¯s not suitable to move out at night.¡± With that one sentence, Fang Xiaonuan knew that she was destined to stay with the Ji family for another night. At that moment, she felt as if her sky had copsed. The farce temporarily ended, and everyone returned to their own rooms. Fang Xiaonuan sat on the sofa and grumbled to herself, ¡°I was about to leave this ce, but I offended someone just because I said something stupid. Now, I¡¯ve harmed others but not benefited myself. I can¡¯t leave anymore.¡± What Fang Xiaonuan did not know was that the reason she was not allowed to leave was not herment about Old Master Ji, but the way she was speaking to Lingchen. ¡°Ji Lingchen, can we leave tomorrow morning? School is about to start, and I won¡¯t have time to move out.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll see! We¡¯ll see how I feel tomorrow.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen went to take a shower. ...... In the bedroom not far away, Ji Wen squeezed into his parents¡¯ master bedroom and sneakily moved to his mother¡¯s side. ¡°Mom, tell me quickly what happened between you and Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Feng Qi told her son everything he knew. She told Ji Wen everything that had happened during this period of time. After finding out the truth, Ji Wen sighed. ¡°A female tiger can¡¯t win against a scheming b*tch!¡± He then said to his mother, ¡°Mom, trust me on this matter. Lin Rou is lying to you. I don¡¯t dare to say anything else, but I can guarantee you that I know Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s character. She definitely won¡¯t steal your title as the Ji family¡¯s mistress. She is extremelyzy. If she¡¯s given the option to lie down, she definitely won¡¯t sit instead. And, if she can sit, she definitely won¡¯t stand. She even wanted someone to feed her during meals. She definitely won¡¯t snatch this title that has already made someone so tired that they¡¯ve be a fool.¡± ¡°Son, what did you say?¡± ording to her son¡¯s words, she was the person who was so tired that she became a fool. ¡°Last night, I just realized that I fell into Lin Rou¡¯s trap.¡± She sighed. ¡°Things have already developed to this point. They are also moving out. Let¡¯s leave it at that!¡± It was said that this curiosity was passed down from generation to generation. Ji Wen was curious about how his mother could fight with a feisty tigress over the dinner table, while his mother was curious about how her son knew Fang Xiaonuan. Feng Qi asked Ji Wen, ¡°Xiaowen, how do you know Fang Xiaonuan? You guys have been deskmates for so many years. Yet, why have you never brought her up?¡± Ji Wen thought back to the years he had been ¡°humiliated¡± and considered Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s underling. He was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he lied to his mother. ¡°Mom, I defeated Fang Xiaonuan. She could not measure up to me in school.¡± Feng Qi knew her son¡¯s character and believed his lie. ¡°How could you hit a girl? Have you forgotten all the gentlemanly manners I taught you?¡± Hearing Feng Qi¡¯s words, Ji Wen felt a little guilty. ¡°Mom, I know. I won¡¯t bully her in the future. It¡¯s gettingte. Mom, go to bed early. I¡¯ll go apologize to her.¡± Because he knew about Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s skills, Ji Wen knew that she had already shown mercy to his mother. His own mother had misunderstood her so many times. Now, he wanted to apologize to her on behalf of his mother. ¡°It¡¯s sote, don¡¯t go. Your uncle will be unhappy if you go to your aunt now.¡± Feng Qi did not stop Ji Wen from speaking to her, but asked him to go another time.

With Feng Qi¡¯s personality, asking her to apologize was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. It would not be a bad thing if she asked her son to apologize on her behalf. Ji Wen said, ¡°No worries.¡± Ji Wen was not afraid of anything. The only thing he was afraid of was that the two of them had be husband and wife. He might as well give up. He left his mother¡¯s bedroom and went to his uncle¡¯s bedroom. He knocked on the door and said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, open the door. I know you¡¯re not asleep.¡± The unhappy girl on the sofa sat up. She nced at the man who was reading on the bed and said, ¡°Put on your clothes. I¡¯ll go open the door.¡± Ji Lingchen closed the book he was holding. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire. The more he looked at his nephew, the more he disliked him. Fang Xiaonuan opened the door. She said unhappily, ¡°What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Is something the matter?¡± ¡°Of course. Why would Ie to you if nothing¡¯s going on?¡± After saying that, Ji Wen walked into the couple¡¯s room without hesitation. When he saw the pillows and nkets on the sofa, he shouted, ¡°D*mn, the two of you¡­ the two of you won¡¯t be sleeping separately forever, right?¡± Seeing this, Fang Xiaonuan raised her hand and punched his forehead. ¡°Lower your voice.¡± At the same time, Ji Lingchen lifted the nket and got off the bed. It was time to set his nephew straight. Ji Wen pushed his intention of apologizing to Fang Xiaonuan to the back of his mind. His gaze moved between the two of them in surprise, ¡°Oh dear, I thought you had long be my uncle¡¯s woman. I didn¡¯t expect you to still be¡­ Ah, spare my life, uncle.¡± Ji Lingchen grabbed Ji Wen¡¯s ear, pinching it until it turned red. ¡°So, your aunt is still something?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Still a virgin. Uncle, my ear is going to fall off. You didn¡¯t touch her. Isn¡¯t she a virgin?¡± The pain in his ear made Ji Wen stop talking. His uncle seemed to have no intention of releasing his grip, so he could only ask his deskmate for help. ¡°F*ck, Fang Xiaonuan, don¡¯t just stand thereughing like a fool. Come and save me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband was bullying his nephew, and she was watching with interest. Her mouth twitched as she thought to herself, ¡®This is too tragic. Ji Wen is too pathetic.¡¯ ...... Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Ah? It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you. I can¡¯t beat my husband.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was in a good mood. The term ¡®husband¡¯ came out of her mouth again. Ji Wen pretended to spit in disgust. ¡°You always had such an imposing manner when you were beating me up. Where is that now? If you don¡¯t want to help, then say you won¡¯t help. Don¡¯t be so hypocritical.¡± Ji Lingchen loosened his grip, and his tone softened a lot. He turned around and asked Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Answer for him.¡± Thispletely stumped Fang Xiaonuan. She said without hesitation, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with what Ji Wen said! We¡¯ve been sleeping separately since we got married. Nothing happened. I¡¯m just a virgin.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. Was sheining that he had not slept with her? Ji Lingchen let go of his nephew¡¯s ear. He walked closer to his wife. Fang Xiaonuan was so scared that she covered her ears with both hands. ¡°What are you doing?¡± If she answered incorrectly, would her ears be pulled as well? If she had known earlier, she would not have answered. Ji Lingchen grabbed his wife¡¯s small arm and pulled her into his arms. One hand wrapped around her waist from her back. He bent down and grasped his wife¡¯s legs with his other arm. Then, he stood up and he was princess carrying her right in front of Ji Wen. The moment Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body was suspended in the air, she was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed as he carried his wife to the bed. He lifted the nket and threw Fang Xiaonuan onto the bed. Ji Wen was excited. Wow! Was his uncle going to give him a live broadcast? How exciting, how exciting! Fang Xiaonuan was panicking. She got up and sat by the bed. ¡°Ji Lingchen, we have a rule. Don¡¯t cross the line.¡± Ji Lingchen turned to look at his reckless nephew and said coldly, ¡°Are you still going to stand here and watch?¡± Ji Wen took a few steps back and said desperately, ¡°You guys continue. I¡¯m too tired to stand and watch. Sit and watch¡­¡± Ji Lingchen did not even look at his nephew. He roared angrily, ¡°Get lost.¡± Ji Wen was so scared that he reflexively forgot to save his ¡®deskmate¡¯ who appeared to be in deep trouble. He quickly ran out, forgetting to close their bedroom door. In the house, the husband and wife looked at each other. Fang Xiaonuan wanted to escape, but Ji Lingchen was confining her to the bed. ¡°Ji Lingchen, are you going to sleep on the sofa?¡± Ji Lingchen did not answer. His handsome face got even closer to Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan was so nervous that she did not dare to breathe. She held her breath. ¡°Do you feel wronged because I did not sleep with you?¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly asked. Chapter 51 - Turning a Blind Eye?

This sentence instantly broke Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s defenses. She breathed in the fresh air inrge gulps. ¡®Ridiculous, I don¡¯t feel wronged. It¡¯s best that you don¡¯t touch me for the rest of your life!¡¯ Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze moved down and he inadvertently saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s beautiful form. Fang Xiaonuan also lowered her head to follow his gaze. Her forehead actually collided with the man¡¯s forehead. Fang Xiaonuan quickly raised her head. Coincidentally, Ji Lingchen also raised his head. ¡®D*mn it.¡¯ This time, their lips met. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart pounded, and her mind went nk. She even forgot to dodge his kiss. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. Looking at his little wife who was so close to him, he opened his mouth slightly and enveloped her lips. The moist heat on her lips instantly made Fang Xiaonuane back to her senses. She raised her hands and ced them on the man¡¯s shoulders, forcefully pushing him away from her. Then, she rolled off the bed, ran barefoot to the sofa, and covered her head with a nket. Under the nket, Fang Xiaonuan felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her body. Sheforted herself in her heart, ¡®It¡¯s not like I¡¯ve never been kissed before. Why did I have such a big reaction this time?¡¯ A small voice suddenly popped up in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind. The voice told her, ¡°Last time, he drank too much and cked out. Only you know that, so it¡¯s not awkward. But just now, the two of you were staring at each other. Hehehe, I¡¯ll turn a blind eye.¡± Fang Xiaonuan spoke freely to the little voice, ¡°If anyone should feel awkward, it¡¯s him. I¡¯m the one who knows we kissed that night.¡± The little voice did not seem to ept this. ¡°This man has probably experienced being with many women and he is probably perfect. It won¡¯t be awkward.¡± ¡°No, he and Lin Rou weren¡¯t even boyfriend and girlfriend.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not realize that she was already defending Ji Lingchen. Fang Xiaonuan kept arguing with the little voice in her mind. The man on the bed unknowingly walked to the sofa. She felt the man¡¯s arrival and immediately curled up in the nket. After a short while, her body was once again suspended in the air. She was lifted along with the nket. Fang Xiaonuan was once again carried to the bed. Her heart was beating extremely fast. Ji Lingchen grabbed her nket, wanting to pull it away, but she refused to let him. She did not want to see Ji Lingchen. ¡°Put this on the sofa and cover yourself with the nket,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan stuck her head out and saw that Ji Lingchen was still calm andposed. His face was not red and his heart was not beating quickly. Sure enough, this man had experienced. He was not embarrassed at all. ¡®Hmph, scumbag!¡¯ ...... ¡°No.¡± Fang Xiaonuan refused decisively. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, who had wrapped herself up like a dumpling, and reached out to pull the nket off her. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who had her nket taken away, immediately bristled. She looked at Ji Lingchen angrily. Ji Lingchen was not angry. Instead, he smiled. ¡°Sleeping on the bed is much morefortable than sleeping on the sofa.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled away and once again hopped to the ground, preparing to escape to the sofa. ¡°If you take one more step, I¡¯ll buy the Fang family. Do you believe me?¡± Ji Lingchen threatened. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s footsteps paused. She turned around and replied, ¡°Hmph, you wouldn¡¯t dare, and you won¡¯t.¡± ¡®Scumbag!¡¯ Of course, she said thest part in her heart. After saying that, she even stuck out her tongue yfully at Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen¡¯s smile grew wider. Seeing his little wife¡¯s mischievous expression made his eyes fill with affection. This young woman hadpletely revealed her true character. It was useless to threaten her. This time, Ji Lingchen did not go down. Instead, he patted the space beside him. ¡°If you don¡¯t listen to me, I¡¯ll be in a bad mood. If I¡¯m in a bad mood, we¡¯ll have to keep staying here.¡± ¡°Ahhhh!¡± Fang Xiaonuan let out a scream. ¡°You viin!¡± ¡°I¡¯m used to being a gentleman. I suddenly realized that it¡¯s not bad to feel like a viin,¡± Ji Lingchen said slowly. ¡°You¡¯re not a gentleman! Hmph! A gentleman always keeps his word. You¡¯re not. You¡¯re not a gentleman!¡± Fang Xiaonuanpletely exploded. ¡°Think about it. When have I ever gone back on my word with you? Since we got here, when have I failed to do right by you? Or is this about moving out? I¡¯ve already bought you a house. It¡¯s your behavior that hasn¡¯t been satisfactory,¡± Ji Lingchen argued. Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°You¡¯re not a gentleman. You think that I¡¯m behaving badly if I don¡¯t share a bed with you? If you were really a gentleman, you should have moved out with me much earlier!¡± ¡°Since I¡¯m a viin to you, then I¡¯ll be a viin to the end. We¡¯ll keep living here. We won¡¯t move out.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen lifted the nket andid down where Fang Xiaonuan had just been. Chapter 52 - Does Being Good-looking Mean Everything to You?

After a while, Ji Lingchen reached out and patted the space next to him. ¡°Whether we leave tomorrow or not depends on your performance tonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was very angry. She stood where she was and thought for a moment. In the end, for her freedom, she gave up and walked to the side of the bed. ¡°Let me make it clear to you first. I don¡¯t feel wronged because we haven¡¯t slept together.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan slowly climbed onto the bed for the sake of her lofty goal. It was her first time sleeping on Ji Lingchen¡¯s bed in this room. God knew how nervous she was. Ji Lingchen deliberately turned over, scaring Fang Xiaonuan so much that she immediately rolled over and wanted to get off the bed again. Ji Lingchen quickly grabbed her hand and put his weight on her. ¡°Why are you running again?¡± ¡°You¡¯re squishing me,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said aggrievedly when she failed to free herself. ¡°I¡¯m turning off the tablemp.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen reached out and turned off the orange light. The room instantly fell into darkness. However, Ji Lingchen still did not get off Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You could¡¯ve told me to turn it off.¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°I turned on themp, so I turned it off.¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and pouted. ¡°Excuses. You were clearly trying to crush me.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled happily. He realized that the girl beneath him was even softer than the bed, and he did not want to get up right now. Fang Xiaonuan pushed him away forcefully. ¡°Ji Lingchen, you have to move out with me tomorrow.¡± It waste, and it was rare for Fang Xiaonuan to be lying in afortable bed. Not long after, the sound of her deep breathing could be heard. The moonlight was brilliant, and the moon outside the window was bright and cold. It was quiet. The room looked slightly orange, like a soft halo was shining on their faces. ...... Ji Lingchen turned on anothermp after his wife fell asleep. He admired his lovely wife and thought back to the kiss just now. She did not know that the kiss just now had been executed on purpose. He had hidden it under the guise of coincidence. Just now, when their foreheads collided and she raised her head, he also raised his head and deliberately moved his weight forward to kiss her. Last night, the fragrance of her lips was on his mind for a long time. Tonight, nothing happened, but she pushed him away, and then she ran away in fear. What happened today was not his fault. After his nephew returned, his nephew had be very close with his wife. They had been disrespecting him. However, now, it was as if two things became clear to him. There was no reason to punish Ji Wen, and there was no reason to bully her. Tonight, the starry sky was bright, and the flowers in the courtyard were especially delicate. The person in his arms was very soft. The next day, Fang Xiaonuan woke up. She was still on the bed. She stretchedfortably. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve slept sofortably. The bed is morefortable.¡± She turned her body to the right and identally rolled into the man¡¯s arms. Fang Xiaonuan hesitated for a few seconds before rolling off the bed at the speed of lightning. She ran to the bathroom at a speed that was even faster than Ji Wen¡¯s escape yesterday. The bathroom door mmed shut and the man¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His little wife was really very interesting. He got up and went to the bathroom door. ¡°Quickly wash up, we¡¯re moving out early today.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at herself in the mirror, her face flushed. She patted her face, and said to herself, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, how can you be deceived by his beauty! Is being good-looking the biggest thing in the world? Well, he seems really great.¡± Ji Lingchen realized that she had not replied. He knocked on the door. ¡°Ready? Once you¡¯ve washed up, we¡¯ll leave right away. We won¡¯t eat breakfast here. I¡¯ll take you to a restaurant.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned on the faucet and sshed her face a few times. Then, she opened the door and walked out. Ji Lingchen saw that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was still wet. Then, he went into the bathroom, got a towel, and wiped her face dry. Fang Xiaonuan was overwhelmed by his actions. She thought to herself, ¡®It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. This Ji Lingchen must be a fake. The real Ji Lingchen must have been captured by a demon.¡¯ Ji Lingchen had changed too much in the past two days. Fang Xiaonuan was somewhat caught off guard and she was unable to respond. Was this still the same husband who had been teasing her and making fun of her all this time? Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s clean little face and said with satisfaction, ¡°Perfect. Let¡¯s go!¡± When the husband and wife were about to reach the door, Old Master Ji¡¯s angry roar made them stop in their tracks. ¡°Ji Wen, get your *ss over here!¡± Then, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Lingchen felt someone move in front of them. The person seemed to be hiding behind the couple who were about to leave. Chapter 53 - Looked Rather Sturdy

Fang Xiaonuan was still in a daze, while Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was already dark. Someone as smart as him could tell from this that they might not be able to leave today. Then, Old Master Ji quickly appeared in the living room. He was holding his walking stick and chasing after Ji Wen, seeming like he wanted to beat him up. Thanks to his grandson, it appeared that his legs were still working fine. Fang Xiaonuan felt that Old Master Ji was running toward her aggressively. She was afraid that he would identally hurt her, so she sought her husband¡¯s protection. She slowly approached her husband and said softly, ¡°Husband, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± Her whisper went right to his heart. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He pulled his wife behind him to protect her from getting identally hurt. Still, she was very curious about what was happening. Even though she hid behind her husband, she could not quell her curiosity. Fang Xiaonuan grabbed her husband¡¯s arms with both hands and poked her head out to see what was going on. Old Master Ji walked in front of the two of them. He was so tired, and he was panting heavily. He pointed at Ji Wen, who was behind Ji Lingchen and said, ¡°Get out of the way. I want to beat this b*tard grandson to death!¡± Ji Lingchen held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand and led her out of the way so that his father could beat up his nephew. ¡°Uncle, uncle.¡± Ji Wen looked at his menacing grandfather. He wanted Ji Lingchen to help him. Unfortunately, Ji Lingchen was paying no attention to him. Thus, Ji Wen looked at Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯re going to stand there and watch me get beaten up? You¡¯re too disloyal!¡± Fang Xiaonuan peered around her husband, her eyes innocent. She had no idea what had happened this morning. Old Master Ji would not really hit his grandson with the walking stick. He was just putting on an act to scare Ji Wen. He calmed down and exined what had happened to the confused crowd. Ji Wen had asked him for money early in the morning. He had asked for too much, so he did not give it to him. In the end, this unfilial grandson had used his favorite blue and white porcin vase as a threat. Ji Wen had threatened to smash the vase if he did not get the money. Old Master Ji could not bear to see his precious vase in the hands of his grandson. He was so frightened that he had agreed to Ji Wen¡¯s request with wide eyes. However, he had not expected Ji Wen to push his luck. He said shamelessly, ¡°Grandpa, fifty million isn¡¯t enough. I want one hundred million.¡± This made Old Master Ji so angry that his blood pressure soared. He could not deal with his grandson, so he could only temporarilypromise. ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you. Put the vase down.¡± ¡°Impossible. I¡¯ll return it to you when I get the money. Let me y with it first.¡± After saying that, Ji Wen turned the vase back and forth between his hands. After a short while, they heard a shattering sound. The grandfather and grandson looked at the blue and white porcin vase that nowy on the ground. It had been smashed to pieces. ...... Old Master Ji was shocked. His beloved porcin vase was gone just like that! ¡°Ji Wen!¡± Old Master Ji gritted his teeth and shouted his grandson¡¯s name. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Wen immediately ran away. Old Master Ji chased after him with his walking stick, wanting to beat him up. This was what had happened just now. After learning what had happened, before Ji Lingchen and his wife could say anything, another scream rang out. ¡°Ahhhhh! Ji Wen!¡± Fang Xiaonuan heard Feng Qi¡¯s angry cry and her heart trembled. She looked at her friend who was in trouble and felt sorry for him. He was going to be in big trouble! Ji Wen retreated to the door of the house, as if he was ready to escape at any moment. Feng Qi jogged down the stairs holding a ne. She pointed at Ji Wen and asked angrily, ¡°Ji Wen, where are the pearls on my pearl ne?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked carefully at the ne. The pearl ne, which had once looked shiny and noble, was now bare. Only the chain was left. Everyone looked at the man at the door, and Ji Wen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°Emmmm, I sold it for money.¡± Mayor Ji also appeared with his broken cup. ¡°Ji Wen, why is my cup broken?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Dad, let me exin this to you. I went to steal mom¡¯s ne and identally touched your award-winning Honorary Cup. I thought the cup looked rather sturdy, but it broke when I dropped it.¡± D*mn it. Ji Wen had offended everyone in the house in just one morning. He did not dare to offend Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan because he was afraid. Ji Wen, who was closer to the door, wanted to run away. In just a few seconds, Ji Lingchen had caught him. On the sofa, Old Master Ji, Mayor Ji, and Feng Qi were sitting in a row. They looked at Ji Wen, who was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, while Ji Lingchen and his wife were sitting on the other sofa. Old Master Ji said, ¡°Lingchen, you better teach this b*stard a good lesson.¡± Mayor Ji did not want to beat his son up, so he did not say anything. He also wanted his younger brother to beat Ji Wen up. Chapter 54 - Letting Go of Arrogance

Feng Qi said directly, ¡°Lingchen, don¡¯t leave with Xiaonuan. Help me discipline Ji Wen!¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan straightened her back. What? Not letting her leave? ¡°No, sister-inw, my husband has already bought our new house. We have to leave now.¡± After saying this, Fang Xiaonuan naively held Ji Lingchen¡¯s hand. She did not want him to meddle in the family¡¯s affairs so that she could quickly move. Ji Lingchen did not move at all, remaining seated on the sofa. He allowed the young woman to hold his big palm. No one knew what he was thinking. Everyone in the Ji family knew that the person with the strongest desire to move away was Fang Xiaonuan. The reason she wanted to move away was that she did not get along with Feng Qi. And now, everyone in the family wanted Ji Lingchen to stay because Ji Lingchen was Ji Wen¡¯s nemesis. With him around, Ji Wen would not be able to cause trouble. If this was in the past, Ji Wen would have jumped three feet in the air upon hearing that his uncle would be disciplining him. Today, he was unusually quiet, as if this was his ultimate goal. In order to make Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan stay, Feng Qi even suggested to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Xiaonuan, can I speak with you alone?¡± Fang Xiaonuan refused her request without thinking. She stopped tugging at Ji Lingchen¡¯s hand and instead sat beside him, hugging his arm. ¡°No, just say what you want to say. If there¡¯s a misunderstanding, my husband can still exin it to me.¡± Ji Lingchen had a smile on his face today. He was very satisfied with his new title. Feng Qi knew that this was Fang Xiaonuan being sarcastic. She had indeed done something wrong, ¡°Xiaonuan, stay at home with Lingchen! Help me discipline Ji Wen. What happened between us was my fault. I apologize to you. From now on, we¡¯ll get along well.¡± As soon as she finished saying that, the entire living room fell into silence. Everyone¡¯s breathing became softer as well. Fang Xiaonuan waspletely dumbfounded. Feng Qi was such an arrogant person, and now she was apologizing to her? Ji Lingchen had already weighed the pros and cons in his heart. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°Sister-inw, what about my inws?¡± Fortunately for her husband¡¯s reminder, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes gradually regained their focus. She looked at Feng Qi with determined eyes, waiting for her reply. Feng Qi swallowed. After thinking for a moment, she replied, ¡°I will personally go to them and apologize.¡± Some parents would do everything to create a good learning environment for their children. Some people were willing to do anything for their children. Feng Qi was also a mother. For her son, she was willing to lower her pride to apologize to her sister-inw and her family. ...... Whether it was Ji Wen breaking the blue and white porcin vase, stealing her pearls, or identally breaking her husband¡¯s cup, these minor matters did not matter to her. The major issue was that Ji Wen was short of money. As the only child of the Ji family, he naturally had ess to the family¡¯s expenses. His monthly allowance was also in the hundreds of thousands or millions. Buying a car or a house could be done through thepany¡¯s ount, so he would not need to spend his own money at all. But Ji Wen was still short of money. Why? Feng Qi had a terrifying thought. Perhaps, her son had a gambling addiction and had fallen into a high-interest loan. He could not afford to pay back the loan, so this was the only way. Thinking of this, Feng Qi was scared out of her wits. Someone had to take good care of Ji Wen. In the Ji family, apart from Ji Lingchen, no one had any hope of changing him. Feng Qi was willing to sacrifice her pride to keep the couple under this roof for the sake of her son¡¯s future. She was also willing to put down her pride and apologize for her previous mistakes. She had changed so much. If Fang Xiaonuan refused again, it would seem that she was being unreasonable. Fang Xiaonuan did not know what to do. She could only look at her husband, hoping that he would give her an idea. Ji Lingchen took the opportunity to coax his wife. ¡°Now that the conflict between you and sister-inw has been resolved, and sister-inw is willing to apologize to mom and dad, why don¡¯t we just stay at home?¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned slightly. She grabbed Ji Lingchen¡¯s arm. ¡°But I still want to leave.¡± ¡°Now, there is someone of your age to y with you. There are also servants who will take care of your meals three times a day. It¡¯s also more convenient to have a chauffeur. If we move out, you¡¯ll be the only one at home when I go on business trips.¡± Ji Lingchen paused. He saw that Fang Xiaonuan was a little moved, so he continued to focus on the things she cared about the most. ¡°Besides, if we move out, mom and dad will be worried that you¡¯re having a bad time in the Ji family. They know very well that you¡¯re a person who likes to report good news but doesn¡¯t report bad news. They will definitely be careful and make wild guesses.¡± Old Master Ji also said something to persuade her to stay. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to live with us in the front yard, there¡¯s an empty loft in the backyard. You and Lingchen can move in there.¡± Now that everyone was persuading her to stay, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s determination to move out wavered. Ji Lingchen backpedaled, hoping to persuade his wife. ¡°We can stay at home for a while. When we get bored, we can move out, okay?¡± Chapter 55 - Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire

If that was the decision, then it was fine. Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Then, she thought of her husband¡¯s previous actions and asked worriedly, ¡°Hubby, are you going to keep your word this time?¡± Ji Lingchen was not angry at her question. Instead, he smiled and replied gently, ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll keep my word. This time, I¡¯ll promise you in front of Dad and my big brother and sister-inw. If you want to move out, I¡¯ll take you with me immediately.¡± Fang Xiaonuan gave uppletely. She obediently put her luggage back into the bedroom. Just as she sat down and sighed, Ji Wen entered. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, quickly thank me! This young master has risked his life to keep you here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan narrowed her eyes. She did she not understand what he had said. ¡°Ji Wen, please don¡¯t tell me that everything that happened today was because of you. Did you want to keep me from moving out?¡± ¡°What else? Do you think I¡¯m stupid? Asking Grandpa for 100 million and taking away the pearls from my mother¡¯s expensive deep-sea pearl ne. Don¡¯t tell me that you think I¡¯m short on money.¡± Ji Wen continued and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s expression darkened. Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Ji Wen, can you repeat that for me?¡± Ji Wen was a big-headed person. He had no foresight at all. In order to show his loyalty, he said, ¡°I broke grandfather¡¯s vase on purpose for you. Grandfather chased after me and beat me up. Look at how much I¡¯ve sacrificed to keep you here! If you stay here, my uncle will bully you and I can at least protect you¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not want to listen to this reckless brat in front of her anymore. She punched him in the face and then at the corner of Ji Wen¡¯s mouth. ¡°D*mn you, you¡¯re such a fool. I¡¯ll thank you properly!¡± Just because he wanted her to stay, he had not even ask her about it. Fang Xiaonuan was furious. Ji Wen saw that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s expression was not right and he looked at her hands. He knew that he was in danger! D*mn it, he had just jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire! In the hall, Ji Lingchen got up and was about to go back to the bedroom to help Fang Xiaonuan tidy up. Feng Qi suddenly stopped him and brought him to his husband¡¯s study. Not only was Mayor Ji there, but Old Master Ji was there as well. Both of their expressions were gloomy, and Feng Qi¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Lingchen, let¡¯s have a family meeting.¡± Ji Lingchen looked around, but he did not see Fang Xiaonuan. He frowned. ¡°Either sister-inw leaves, or I leave.¡± Either the three members of the Ji family had a meeting, or both of them left at the same time. Feng Qi keenly sensed Ji Lingchen¡¯s dissatisfaction because he did not see Fang Xiaonuan here. She exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t invite Xiaonuan, it¡¯s because she¡¯s still a child, just like Ji Wen. We can¡¯t let her know what we¡¯re saying today. It¡¯s a matter of life and death for Xiaowen. Please understand where I¡¯ming from.¡± ...... Feng Qi¡¯s words were tactful, and her attitude was very humble. Ji Lingchen could not refuse. He finally gave up on the idea of letting his wife participate. If that troublemaker really talked about Ji Wen, she might really snitch on him. When he thought about how they still stayed in the end, the corners of Ji Lingchen¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. Fang Xiaonuan was too soft. If he moved out, he definitely would not be able to hug her in the future. Furthermore, her scent was very lovely. Unlike those expensive perfumes, her fragrance seemed to spread from the inside out, mesmerizing his heart. In addition, Ji Lingchen also wanted Fang Xiaonuan to get along well with his family. Now that they had been forced to stay, they could work on the family issue. It was better to solve the problems at home before moving out. During this period of time, they also needed to get used to each other. Staying in the old residence could also avoid a lot of trouble, like Lin Rou. Due to all these reasons, Ji Lingchen had a lot of reasons to stay. And the only reason he did not want to stay was his nephew, Ji Wen. He did not expect that in the end, the circumstances would make him stay because of him. Seeing that Ji Lingchen¡¯s attitude had be much friendlier, Feng Qi spoke her concerns. ¡°Xiaowen has been traveling outside for a month. When he came back, he asked for money and stole jewelry. I just checked his records and found that he had stayed in Macau and Cambodia. I¡¯m really worried that she has a huge debt.¡± Feng Qi showed the three men the bank statements. Ji Lingchen nced at the list, then sat down calmly. Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji, on the other hand, were silent. The highest expenditure on the bill was 10 million, and the odd transactions were about 300,000 to 500,000. All of these transactions added up to tens of millions of dors. This was not a small expenditure for a twenty-something-year-old child. Chapter 56 - Dared Ji Wen

Chapter 56: Dared Ji Wen

Old Master Ji felt that the situation was serious. Mayor Ji felt that his son had gone astray, while Feng Qi felt that his son had been led astray by the people around him. Only Ji Lingchen said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s normal.¡± Old Master Ji raised his head to look at him and asked in return, ¡°Is this normal?¡± Ji Lingchen had a long-term perspective. He saw things more broadly than everyone present. When the Ji family made decisions, they would usually make decisions based on his opinion. Although he was young, he had experienced no less than them. What the Ji family valued was not money, but Ji Wen¡¯s education. If this child had gotten into gambling, it would be a big problem if he did not correct it as soon as possible. While everyone was worried about Ji Wen, Ji Lingchen was calm. He thought that all of this spending was reasonable. Ji Lingchen said casually, ¡°I dared Ji Wen. He definitely won¡¯t dare to indulge in gambling and even owe a loan shark. I took Ji Wen to gamble once. I gave him a billion but he wasn¡¯t interested. Do you think a few tens of millions can satisfy him?¡± Everyone was shocked by Ji Lingchen¡¯s words. When did he take Ji Wen to gamble? When did he even gamble? Actually, this was the result of Ji Lingchen¡¯s effort in educating his nephew. When Ji Wen was in junior high school, he already had his own ideas and he had a new understanding of money. In order to educate his nephew, Ji Lingchen took his nephew with him on a business trip. He brought him to Las Vegas. That night, Ji Wen was so scared that he had followed behind his uncle the entire time, tightly clutching the corner of his shirt. Ji Lingchen waved his hand and booked the entire ce. When the pile of money was on the table and everything was ready to go, Ji Wen had forcefully pulled his uncle away. That was the first time he was not afraid of his uncle¡¯s righteous lecture. It was clear to him that gambling was not a good behavior. Later, Ji Lingchen left the casino with his nephew. After that, no matter what, Ji Wen did not care about gambling. He was not interested in it at all. After Ji Lingchen finished telling the story, the three of them were left shocked. Ji Lingchen stood up and said, ¡°Brother and sister-inw, the problem of Xiaowen¡¯s education cannot always be my responsibility. I will have my own children in the future. Let¡¯s take care of our own children!¡± Ji Lingchen left the study room without looking back. When Old Master Ji heard Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, his ssy eyes seemed to be bright and alert. He looked at his eldest son and daughter-inw with great joy. ¡°Did he just say... that he will have his own children?¡± Feng Qi was somewhat embarrassed to be talking about her brother-inw¡¯s married life with her husband and father-inw. ¡°If their marriage goes well, in another two to three months, Fang Xiaonuan should have some good news to share.¡± ...... Old Master Ji already had a smile on his face, as if those three months had already passed. He smiled with satisfaction and said, ¡°He is indeed a master. With just one sentence, the prosperity of our family is clear!¡± ¡°Dad, what are you saying?¡± Feng Qi did not quite understand. Old Master Ji smiled and waved his hand, then left the study as well. When Ji Lingchen returned to the bedroom, he found his nephew in his room. Ji Wen shrugged and squatted on the floor with his hands covering his head, not daring to get up. Fang Xiaonuan sat angrily on the sofa where she usually slept. When she saw Ji Lingchen return, she pointed at Ji Wen andined to him, ¡°Ji Lingchen, hurry up and control your nephew. He did all of this on purpose today.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°What did you call me just now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Ji Lingchen!¡± Ji Wen, who had his head lowered, muttered softly, ¡°My uncle wants you to call him husband.¡± As soon as he said that, Fang Xiaonuan hit the back of his head. She did not care if Ji Lingchen was present. ¡°Shut up. If it wasn¡¯t for you, I would have been far away from here by now!¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows. Who would have thought that he had married a violent wife! She was really merciless when it came to beating people up. As he walked in, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little hand reached out for his. ¡°Hubby, he deliberately broke Grandpa¡¯s vase and stole his mother¡¯s things just to stop us from moving.¡± Ji Lingchen had guessed his nephew¡¯s intentions early in the morning, but he did not understand why his nephew would not let him leave. He looked at his petite wife who was holding his hand and suddenly understood. This was not because he did not want him to leave. This was because it did not matter if he left or stayed. Fang Xiaonuan had to stay. Thinking of this, Ji Lingchen was a little angry. ¡°Go to my study!¡± Ji Wen got up and left the bedroom with his tail between his legs. He felt very wronged. This Fang Xiaonuan really did not know what was good for her. He had risked his life to keep her here, but she did not appreciate it. Chapter 57 - I Won’t Sleep With You

The most horrible thing was not that Fang Xiaonuan had hit him, but that she had actuallyined to his uncle. Ahhhhh! After Ji Wen left, only the husband and wife were left in the room. One was in a good mood because of the benefits he would receive tonight, while the other was so angry that her mouth was puffy. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s angry expression and raised his hand to pinch her face. ¡°Go and unpack the clothes in the cloakroom. We might have to stay here for a while. I¡¯ll go out for a while. When Ie back, I¡¯ll help you tidy up. If Ie backte, go to bed first. There¡¯s no need to wait for me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned slightly. She asked her husband in a soft voice, ¡°Do I still have to sleep in the bed tonight?¡± Since they were not moving, she did not need to be threatened. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You don¡¯t want to sleep with me? Or is the big bed lessfortable than the sofa?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded honestly. ¡°No, I don¡¯t feelfortable sleeping with you.¡± ¡°I saw that you slept quite wellst night. I didn¡¯t feel that you were ufortable at all.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen went to his study. Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue at his back. ¡°Hmph, I won¡¯t sleep with you!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s study was dark gray. The moment he entered, he gave off a strong aura of oppression. ¡°I need a perfect exnation for what your aunt said just now.¡± Ji Lingchen sat at the head of the table and spoke in a low voice. Ji Wen raised his head and met his uncle¡¯s gaze. Ji Lingchen saw the wound at the corner of his mouth and was a little surprised. So, the reason why he had kept his head down was that his face had been injured. The culprit was his wife. Judging from his eyes, his little wife did not go easy on him. ¡°Exin. If your exnation is reasonable, I won¡¯t punish you.¡± Ji Lingchen was a little moved deep down. In a way, Ji Wen was also helping him. Otherwise, it would be a little difficult for him to ask Fang Xiaonuan to stay. ¡°Uncle, I don¡¯t want you to move out. Here, if you bully Fang Xiaonuan, at least I can protect her. If you were to move out and force yourself on her, she might shut you out every day.¡± However, Ji Wen did not dare to lie to Ji Lingchen. He told him everything. Ji Lingchen suppressed the anger he felt and asked, ¡°Why do you think I would bully your aunt?¡± ¡°Last night, in front of me, she wasn¡¯t willing to¡­ She definitely refused. You insisted on that¡­¡± In fact, Ji Wen was very embarrassed aboutst night. After he leftst night, the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his deskmate. His uncle told him to get lost, so he did. He let his deskmate suffer from his uncle¡¯s torture on the bed. He felt that he had been too disloyal. Why didn¡¯t he save his deskmate? Therefore, in order to keep Fang Xiaonuan and his uncle here, he came up with this n and risked his life. He did not expect to be beaten up. ...... Ji Lingchen¡¯s tone became more serious. ¡°Your aunt and I are husband and wife. It¡¯s perfectly normal for something like this to happen. I won¡¯t bully her, I¡¯ll only protect her.¡± ¡°You know the situation of your marriage with Fang Xiaonuan. Only people like my parents are called husband and wife. This might be disrespectful but between the two of us, she could¡¯ve even married me instead of you.¡± Ji Wen regretted saying this. He did not know what came over him. He had be bolder when it came to Fang Xiaonuan and dared to be stubborn with Ji Lingchen. Ji Wen hadpletely ignited Ji Lingchen¡¯s anger. He pped the table with a deafening sound. Ji Wen was so scared that he stepped back. ¡°Uncle, you can¡¯t even listen to the truth now. I¡¯m telling the truth.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Where did you get that sense of superiority? What makes you think you canpare yourself to me? Do you think your naivety and your constant trouble-making will catch Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eye? How do you think you got the title of the rich young master of the Ji family? At your age, I was already the president of thepany. You¡¯re still spending the money I earned. What makes you think you deserve her interest?¡± Ji Wen was rendered speechless. His uncle was right! Ji Lingchen had already entered thepany and had the decision-making power at his age, but he had not earned a single cent so far. He was only squandering money and enjoying himself. Compared to his uncle, he was neither handsome nor capable. He could not bepared to him. ¡°But there¡¯s one thing. I¡¯ve known Fang Xiaonuan since primary school. We¡¯ve been deskmates for eleven years. I know her better than you do and know how to make her happy. Also, I understand her personality. If she had the right to choose, she would definitely not choose to marry you. ¡°The most important thing is that I¡¯m younger than you.¡± Ji Wen¡¯s voice became even softer. He even clung to the door of the study so that it would be easier for him to escape. Chapter 58 - The Heartless Tigress, Fang Xiaonuan

Ji Lingchen also had no way to refute Ji Wen¡¯s words. He was a simple person but he clearly knew that what he was saying was true. It was all his fault for not investigating clearly beforehand. His wife actually had a close rtionship with his nephew. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Ji Wen, no matter what you think, and no matter what you say, the truth is right in front of you. Fang Xiaonuan is now my wife and your aunt. If I hear you talk about your rtionship with her again, I¡¯ll cut off your source of ie!¡± ¡°Uncle! You¡¯re practically ourndlord now!¡± Ji Wen was now a spoiled child. Without his source of ie, he had absolutely nothing and could only twiddle his thumbs. Ji Lingchen looked at his own nephew teasingly. ¡°How long has it been since I taught you a good lesson? You dare to argue with me now.¡± When Ji Wen looked at his uncle who had always taken care of him, he did not dare to refute his words. He could only hold back what he wanted to say. Since Ji Lingchen had already understood everything, he let his nephew leave. Ji Wen was about to push the door open and go out, feeling wronged, when Ji Lingchen called out to him. ¡°Wait, no matter who asks you about your injuries, just tell them that I hit you.¡± Ji Wen subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth and hissed in pain. Fang Xiaonuan was indeed a heartless tigress. He did it for her own good, but she had hit him with all her might. The heartless tigress, Fang Xiaonuan, was busy working in the cloakroom in the bedroom. The originally spacious cloakroom instantly became crowded from the addition of her clothes. Ji Lingchen¡¯s clothes were mostly dark in color. The sudden addition of a girl¡¯s light-colored clothes formed a stark contrast. It was as if an uncle and a little girl¡¯s lives had suddenly collided. Ji Lingchen¡¯s ss drawer was once filled with branded watches. It now held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s dazzling array of items: nes, bracelets, and earrings. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her work and nodded in satisfaction. The colorful clothes matched perfectly with the dark-colored clothes. Ji Lingchen¡¯s cloakroom used to give off a solemn and uptight feeling. Now, the cloakroom was full of vitality and gave off a brand new feeling. ¡°Perfect, go to sleep!¡± Fang Xiaonuan took the nket to the sofa. Only the orange wallmp was left on, and she began to feel sleepy. When Ji Lingchen returned and saw the mound on the sofa, he felt a little ufortable, and his nephew¡¯s words echoed in his ears. Hmph! Would she choose him, the man who had aplished nothing? His nephew had actually be arrogant after going on his long trip. He walked over and directly lifted the nket on his wife. He bent down and carried the young girl, who was still in shock, to the side of the bed. ...... ¡°Ji Lingchen, it¡¯s not appropriate for the two of us to share a bed!¡± Fang Xiaonuan tried to negotiate with her husband. ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate to share a bed with your husband? Who should you share a bed with then?¡± Ji Lingchen tucked his wife into bed, then, he picked up his phone and called the housekeeper at home. ¡°Get a few people toe to my bedroom and move the sofa away.¡± The housekeeper asked, ¡°Second young master, why?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife who was trying to escape on the bed and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°It¡¯s in the way.¡± When Fang Xiaonuan heard that her ¡®bed¡¯ was about to be removed, she angrily punched Ji Lingchen in the stomach. ¡°No, where am I going to sleep if you carry my sofa away?¡± Ji Lingchen did not reply. Not long after, the housekeeper asked someone to move the sofa away as Fang Xiaonuan watched. Ji Wen also saw that the sofa was being moved out of his uncle¡¯s room. He said, ¡°D*mn, my uncle is inhuman.¡± In the bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were red. She sat by the bed aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes. Ji Lingchen realized that he might have been too impulsive just now. He patientlymunicated with Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Nuannuan, we are already husband and wife now. There are some things that you need to get used to as soon as possible.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°I don¡¯t want to get used to sleeping with you. Can¡¯t I get used to something else?¡± Ji Lingchen could no longer hold back his anger. Why did he marry such an infuriating troublemaker? Didn¡¯t she know that what she said was infuriating? Ji Lingchen took a deep breath and tried his best to soften his voice. ¡°No. Not only do you have to get used to sleeping with me, but you also have to get used to living with me. We have already be husband and wife. You have to be one with me. Some things will not happen now, but don¡¯t think about hiding. I will give you time to adjust.¡± Chapter 59 - Don’t Slap His Face

Fang Xiaonuan did not have anything to say to refute Ji Lingchen¡¯s words. Previously, she could say that his rtionship with Lin Rou was ambiguous, and she could criticize Ji Lingchen as a scumbag from a moral point of view. But now that the misunderstanding had been resolved, Fang Xiaonuan felt that although Ji Lingchen was not a good person, his private life was still very scandal-free. She was his wife, and they had already received their marriage certificate. It was normal for her husband to have such needs. Sigh! Did she really want to spend the rest of her life with him? ¡°Ji Lingchen, we have an agreement. You¡­ If you really can¡¯t control yourself in that aspect, I¡¯ll give you¡­ Don¡¯t hit me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan had not finished her words when she received a critical blow. Fang Xiaonuan covered the spot on her forehead that he had flicked. Her eyes were filled with protest as she looked at the man who was approaching her. Ji Lingchen¡¯s deep and maic voice rang out. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not someone who can¡¯t endure a little hunger and thirst. Now, I¡¯m officially informing you that the previous agreement is void.¡± ¡°How can you do this?¡± If some things happened on the wedding night, she could still ept it, because, at that time, she was already mentally prepared to be a wife. But now, after she had gradually gotten to know Ji Lingchen, she still wanted to keep her old identity as the only daughter of her family. This way, after the marriage was over, she could leave at any time. ¡°In the future, distance yourself from Ji Wen. Remember that he is your nephew,¡± Ji Lingchen said as he approached Fang Xiaonuan. He was about to kiss her. ¡°Okay, I¡­¡± When she said ¡°I,¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and happened to touch the man¡¯s lips. Ji Lingchen saw that his n had seeded, so he did not give his wife any time to run away shyly. He put his arm around her back, grabbed the back of her head, and took the initiative to kiss her soft lips. At this moment, it was as if he had found peace in a fickle world. Fang Xiaonuan, who was in love, even forgot to push the man in front of her away. Knock. Knock. Knock. There was a knock on the bedroom door. Fang Xiaonuan shuddered and immediately pushed the man in front of her away. Feng Qi¡¯s greeting came through the door. ¡°Xiaonuan, are you asleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was extremely grateful for Feng Qi¡¯s arrival. If she had note, she was not sure what might have happened tonight. ...... Some people were happy and some were sad, but Ji Lingchen had never been so annoyed with Feng Qi today. ¡°Not yet, I¡¯m here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to look Ji Lingchen in the eye. She lowered her head and got off the bed. She ran to open the door barefooted. ¡°Sister-inw, why are you looking for me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was very grateful to Feng Qi. Even when she called her sister-inw, the gratitude was clear in her voice. Feng Qi was going to visit the Fang family tomorrow to apologize. To show her sincerity, she wanted ask Fang Xiaonuan about her parents¡¯ hobbies. ¡°Xiaonuan, what do your parents like? Or is there anything they don¡¯t like?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was already grateful to Feng Qi. Seeing her sincerity, the unhappiness in her heart caused by the misunderstanding instantly disappeared. ¡°My parents like everything. I¡¯m sure they¡¯re already very happy to receive you as their guest.¡± Feng Qi added, ¡°Why don¡¯t you and Lingchen apany me and your big brother tomorrow! You can also pay your parents a visit.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to agree on behalf of Ji Lingchen. ¡°He might have something to do tomorrow.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Lingchen isn¡¯t out here. Why don¡¯t you go and ask him? If there¡¯s nothing important going on tomorrow, I¡¯lle with you to see your parents.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was too embarrassed to speak to the man. Ji Lingchen had also heard it clearly. He deliberately did not say anything. He wanted to wait for his wife to take the initiative to ask him. ¡°Sister-inw,e in first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan invited Feng Qi into the bedroom. She nced at the man who was already sitting on the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she still did not speak to Ji Lingchen. ¡°Sister-inw, you can ask him!¡± They were both experienced people, and Feng Qi saw the uneasiness between the two of them. She smiled and said, ¡°The husband and wife are too embarrassed to talk!¡± Feng Qi did not make things difficult for Fang Xiaonuan, she asked Ji Lingchen directly, ¡°Lingchen, are you free tomorrow?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If Xiaonuan goes back to her mother¡¯s house tomorrow, I can push back my obligations.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face flushed red. She thought to herself, ¡®D*mn it, Ji Lingchen must have been reced.¡¯ ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll go to the Fang family¡¯s house tomorrow morning.¡± After Feng Qi finished speaking, she could not help but give her brother-inw a small suggestion. ¡°Lingchen, can I ask you for a favor? Although Ji Wen did something wrong, can you be gentler when you punish him? My point is, don¡¯t hit his face. He has an injury at the corner of his mouth. How is he supposed to show his face now?¡± Chapter 60 - Fang Xiaonuan is Going to Kill Someone

Fang Xiaonuan was confused. ¡°I think I¡¯m the one who injured Ji Wen¡¯s face.¡± She tugged Feng Qi closer to verify. ¡°Sister-inw, who do you think injured Ji Wen¡¯s face?¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Who else could it be other than Lingchen? He didn¡¯t hit him lightly either. His face is swollen. My heart aches so much.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly remembered that after she had beaten up Ji Wen, her husband had called Ji Wen into the study. So, it was her husband who was bearing the me. She looked at Ji Lingchen, but Ji Lingchen did not look at her. ¡°Sister-inw, since you want me to discipline Ji Wen, don¡¯t interfere with my methods. Everything I did was for his own good,¡± the man sitting on the sofa said seriously. ¡°But you hit him too hard. Can you try not to hit his face in the future?¡± Feng Qi said kindly. Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head guiltily. She quietly retreated to Ji Lingchen¡¯s side and then to his back. Ji Lingchen was in a good mood. When he was in a good mood, he would ept the advice others gave him. ¡°Then I¡¯ll be careful next time. I¡¯ll try not to hit him in the face.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°I know how hard it¡¯s been to educate Xiaowen. Your brother and I only have one son. Lingchen, when you hit him, think twice. Don¡¯t hurt him too much.¡± Feng Qi secretly added in her heart, ¡®If you want to hit your own son in the future, hit him in the face.¡¯ Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I understand.¡± After sending Feng Qi off, the culprit in the bedroom stayed quiet. Ji Lingchen looked down at his little wife. ¡°Next time, when you beat Ji Wen up, be gentle and try not to hit his face. Got it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan obediently answered, ¡°Got it.¡± Ji Lingchen took the me for her, which made her favor him even more. Ji Lingchen knew that his wife was embarrassed about what had happened just now, so he did not mention it again. He went to the cloakroom. When he picked up his pajamas, he saw the girl¡¯s things in the closet. He smiled. ¡°No wonder there are so many luggage boxes. There are quite a lot of clothes.¡± ...... He found his pajamas in the crowded cloakroom and walked back out. When he saw that Fang Xiaonuan was still sitting on the sofa, he said, ¡°Go and sleep on the bed first.¡± Therger sofa in the bedroom had been moved away, leaving only the spacious and soft bed. Fang Xiaonuan did not argue anymore. She went to the bed. By the time Ji Lingchen finished washing up and came out, the little mound on the bed had already fallen asleep. Ji Lingchen sat on the side of the bed, lifted the nket, andy down on the other side. He lifted her head and put his arm under her neck, letting her sleep on his arm. He smiled as he moved closer to Fang Xiaonuan and breathed in her faint fragrance. ¡°That¡¯s weird. You smellpletely different than your toothpaste and body wash. Why do you still smell so good?¡± He had never been so close to Fang Xiaonuan before, so he did not notice her natural scent. The first kiss was their closest contact, which also allowed him to discover the unique scent she had. He was obsessed with her scent. It was as if everyone spent their entire lives searching for a unique scent that belonged to them, and he had found a scent that belonged to him, but it wasing from her. The next day, Fang Xiaonuan was woken up from a beautiful dream by her husband. ¡°Get up early and wash up. We¡¯re going back to visit Mom and Dad today. You should call them first and ask if they have anything to do today. Also, tell them that we¡¯re going to visit.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat up from the bed in a daze for quite a while. Ji Lingchen was already dressed neatly. He looked at his wife¡¯s condition and said, ¡°Wake up and wake up. I¡¯m going to thepany to make some work arrangements. I¡¯lle back to pick you upter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan yawned and nodded repeatedly. Ji Lingchen went to the cloakroom. When he came out, a certain girl was still lying on the bed. He ced his hands on his hips, feeling a little helpless. ¡°Are you that sleepy?¡± After saying that, he patted his wife¡¯s little face. ¡°Don¡¯t forget to contact your parents.¡± The woman on the bed still had her eyes closed. Her attitude was obviously perfunctory as she nodded. Ji Lingchen saw her sleepy face and could not bear to wake his wife up. Anyway, he still had time. He could also contact his inws on the way to thepany. Thus, Ji Lingchen left the house and instructed the servants, ¡°Make sure to wake second young madam up in another hour.¡± On the way, Ji Lingchen contacted his inws and agreed on a time for the visit. Fang Xiaonuan hugged the nket and continued to sleep. One had to know how blissful it was to stay in bed early in the morning! However, things did not go ording to her wishes. Not long after shezed around in bed, she was woken up by Ji Wen. She was so angry that she wanted to smash Ji Wen¡¯s head with a hammer. ¡°Your uncle couldn¡¯t bear to wake me up in the morning. What are you showing off for? Didn¡¯t he beat you up enoughst night?¡± Fang Xiaonuan chased after Ji Wen and tried to beat him up while Ji Wen ran toward the front of the house. As he ran, he shouted, ¡°Help! Fang Xiaonuan is going to kill someone.¡± Chapter 61 - Infuriating a Tigress

Chapter 61: Infuriating a Tigress

Old Master Jiughed out loud. The Ji family¡¯s hall had never been so lively. Ever since his blue and white porcin vase had been broken by that rascal, Ji Wen, he appreciated whoever was beating Ji Wen up. Feng Qi was busy preparing gifts for the Fang family. She was holding the gift list to check with her husband and had no time to care about her son¡¯s safety. Besides, Fang Xiaonuan looked small. How painful could it be to be hit by her? Ji Wen thought to himself, I¡¯m done for. I¡¯ve angered the tigress this time! Before ten o¡¯clock, Ji Lingchen¡¯s car appeared at the door of the house. He got out of the car and asked the servant, ¡°Is the second young madam up?¡± The servant said, ¡°Second young master, second young madam got up after you left. She was chasing young master Ji Wen around the house just now!¡± Why were the two of them together again?! Ji Lingchen straightened up his tie and strode into the hall. The two people who were fighting just now had stopped. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were sitting opposite each other on the sofa. Old Master Ji who was trying to stifle hisughter was sitting between the two of them. Old Master Ji seemed to be in a good mood. When he saw that his second son had returned, he waved at him. ¡°Come over and sit down. Just now, your wife vented her anger on me!¡± Ji Lingchen sat beside her and looked at his angry little wife. He smiled and asked, ¡°What did you do this time?¡± With her around, the house was never quiet. It was always lively. The house was now filled with life. Fang Xiaonuan pointed at Ji Wen, who had already been beaten up, andined to her husband coquettishly. ¡°Hubby, I was sleeping just now. He woke me up.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the silent Ji Wen and asked, ¡°And then you beat him up?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes! Our dad also provided me with a weapon. Our dad also yed a part in beating him up.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his father, who was holding back hisughter. He saw Old Master Ji pick up his walking stick with a smile and said proudly, ¡°Yes, I provided the weapon. I also contributed to this.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless for a moment. His father seemed to be acting a little childish. ...... Seeing Ji Lingchen return, Fang Xiaonuan realized that she had not contacted her parents, Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s toote to hope for you to contact them. Don¡¯t worry! I spoke to your parents in the car this morning. They are waiting at home today.¡± At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan felt that it was quite good to have a husband. At least, she could count on him. It was time to go home. Fang Xiaonuan excitedly got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and waited for her husband to drive. Behind her, Mayor Ji¡¯s son got into his car. Ji Wen¡¯s face was covered with injuries. ¡°Dad, mom, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Feng Qi did not want her son to go. She felt that her son was a little embarrassing. ¡°Wait until your face is better before you go out! For the time being, just stay at home and don¡¯t meet anyone else.¡± ¡°No, I have to go to the Fang family.¡± He wanted to show the Fang family the injuries he had sustained. They were all caused by their bad-tempered daughter. Mayor Ji did not want to waste time. He said on behalf of Ji Wen, ¡°Forget it. Anyway, it¡¯s Xiaowen¡¯s loss. If he wants to go, then he can go!¡± With that, he started the car and followed his second brother¡¯s car out of the Ji family¡¯spound. When they arrived at the Fang family home, the Fang couple¡¯s enthusiasm had exceeded Feng Qi¡¯s expectations. She did not even know how to start her apology. ¡°Thest time you went to the Ji family home to look for Fang Xiaonuan, I¡­¡± ¡°Oh, she already told us. She was out ying that day and wasn¡¯t at home, so we didn¡¯t see her.¡± Mrs. Fang smiled as she interrupted Feng Qi. She continued, ¡°Nuannuan is still young. When she married into the Ji family, her father and I could not offer much, and we were worried that she would cause trouble in the Ji family. However, thanks to you being by her side, she did not make too many mistakes. Nuannuan has already told us all of this. Recently, we were nning to find a time to visit you to thank you, but we didn¡¯t expect you guys toe first.¡± Feng Qi was a little surprised. ¡°Is that what Xiaonuan told you guys?¡± It turned out that Fang Xiaonuan had notined to her family about the grievances she had suffered in the Ji family. Instead, she had swallowed them all by herself, while behind their backs, she was speaking highly of them. At this moment, Feng Qi felt that she had behaved much worse than the little girl. On this day, the Fang couple also met Ji Wen. ¡°Xiaowen, so you¡¯re Lingchen¡¯s nephew?¡± The Fang couple¡¯s pleasantly surprised expressions hung on their faces. Ji Wen deliberately raised his head to let the Fang couple see the wound at the corner of his mouth. He obediently replied, ¡°Yes! Let¡¯s talk. Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Fang!¡± The Fang couple looked at each other. Only the two of them could understand the nce they had exchanged. ¡®Look, our daughter beat up Xiaowen again.¡¯ Chapter 62 - Jealous Ji Lingchen

Chapter 62: Jealous Ji Lingchen

Ji Wen and the Fang couple seemed to be very familiar with each other, which made everyone wonder what kind of rtionship he had with Fang Xiaonuan. Of course, Ji Lingchen was the most concerned about this issue. He had always felt that his little wife and nephew were too close, so he asked Mr. Fang, ¡°Dad, do you know Xiaowen?¡± Mr. Fang replied, ¡°Of course we know each other. During the winter and summer holidays, he would oftene over to y with Nuannuan. Since he was young, we would basically see him every winter and summer holiday.¡± Ji Wen corrected him in his heart. ¡®I wasn¡¯t looking to y with your daughter. I was here to do yourzy daughter¡¯s homework.¡¯ Ji Lingchen was furious. It seemed that his wife and his nephew were closer than he had thought. ¡°Does Xiaowen usuallye to hang out with Nuannuan often?¡± Mrs. Fang thought about it carefully. ¡°These two children have a good rtionship. Sometimes, they even go out on weekends.¡± These words made Ji Lingchen even more certain that the rtionship between the two of them was not ordinary. He turned to look at the girl who had been sitting beside him. Fang Xiaonuan also turned to look at her husband. He let out a coldugh. Coupled with his cold and emotionless gaze, it made the girl beside him feel inexplicably afraid. Fang Xiaonuan was fearless, but Ji Lingchen was the first person who could scare her away with just a nce. Fang Xiaonuan blinked her misty eyes a few times. ¡°Hubby, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Go back and follow me to the study.¡± The Ji family had originallye to apologize, but Feng Qi found out that the Fang couple did notin about her. In the end, it became a family visit instead. After having lunch at the Fang family home, Feng Qi left under the excuse that her husband had work to attend to. Fang Xiaonuan did not want to leave so early. She excused herself by saying, ¡°I¡¯ll stay at home to pack a few clothes. I¡¯ll go back by myself tomorrow.¡± Ji Lingchen knew that she was avoiding him, so he deliberately stayed behind and said, ¡°I¡¯ll help you pack.¡± ...... Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No, that¡¯s my boudoir.¡± Ji Lingchen did not back down. ¡°As your husband, am I not worthy enough to enter your boudoir?¡± Ji Wen did not leave either. His eyes darted left and right, as though he was waiting for a good show. In the end, Fang Xiaonuan still brought Ji Lingchen into her pink youngdy¡¯s bedroom. Ji Lingchen said that he would help her pack up her clothes. After he entered, he sat on the bed, looking at the decorations around him. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s bed sheets were hemmed withce. There was a huge photo hanging on the wall by her bed. It looked like it was taken during her high school days. The person in the photo did not look much different from her now. The photo was taken well, and it was very lifelike. Fang Xiaonuan was not in the mood to pack up her clothes. She had been secretly observing what the man was doing in her room. When she saw that the man was done admiring her room, he asked Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Xiaonuan, what is your rtionship with Ji Wen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°It¡¯s a ssmate and deskmate rtionship!¡± Ji Lingchen was fuming with jealousy. ¡°If you were just that, why was he meeting your parents?¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought of the winter and summer homework that Ji Wen hade to her house to help her with. She hesitated over telling her husband that Ji Wen had always been her little brother. If she did, given the Ji family¡¯s protective character, would Ji Lingchen think that she was bullying his nephew and stand up for him? Furthermore, she had promised Ji Wen that she would not tell his family about how she bullied him back then. Fang Xiaonuan thought that she had found a good reason. ¡°That¡¯s because we often went out to y. After a while, he became familiar with my parents.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Went out to y? What do you guys y?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was not good at lying, so she told him what she and her best friend often did. ¡°We went to the movies together, went shopping together, ate together, travelled together¡­¡± ¡°You two went on a trip together?¡± Hearing this, the jealous Ji Lingchen immediately lost hisposure. ¡°Did you stay together when you went on trips?¡± ¡°Of course we would stay together! No, no, separate, separate!¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought she was talking about her best friend, but she suddenly realized that she was talking about Ji Wen, so naturally, they could not have slept together. Ji Lingchen walked over to his wife with a menacing aura. He looked into her eyes and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, what is your rtionship with Ji Wen?¡± They had done everything that could be done between a boyfriend and girlfriend. How could they be just ordinary friends? Fang Xiaonuan took a deep breath. She did not dare to look directly into Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes. Nothing seemed to escape him. After weighing the pros and cons, she still did not tell the truth. ¡°It¡¯s an ordinary rtionship between ssmates or deskmates!¡± Ji Lingchen could not get anything out of his wife. He was ready to set his sights on his nephew. Chapter 63 - Absolutely Not

¡°You have 15 minutes to pack up. I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs.¡± Ji Lingchen gave his wife an order with a cold expression. His tone was cold as well and he gave off a heavy sense of oppression. After Ji Lingchen left, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s worried heart finally calmed down. She could already imagine what life in the Ji family would be like if she were to reveal the fact that she had bullied Ji Wen for 11 years. She could not say it. She definitely could not say it. Fifteen minutester, Fang Xiaonuan appeared in the car right on time. She turned to look at her husband and realized that he had a serious expression on his face. His expression could not be any darker. Seeing this, Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to say anything. The two of them remained silent throughout the journey. When they reached home, Ji Lingchen entered the house and barked an instruction at his nephew, who was lying on the sofa. ¡°Ji Wen, go to my study!¡± The confused Ji Wen said, ¡°Uncle, what did I do this time?¡± Ji Lingchen red fiercely at Ji Wen and said, ¡°Don¡¯t make me repeat myself!¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen went upstairs and waited for him in the study. After a while, Ji Wen walked up. He entered the room and closed the door. He stood in front of Ji Lingchen obediently. When he realized how angry the man in front of him was, he did not even dare to take a deep breath. Ji Lingchen asked him snappily, ¡°What exactly is your rtionship with Fang Xiaonuan?¡± ¡°Just deskmates, ssmates, and friends!¡± Ji Wen thought to himself that it would be too embarrassing to tell him that I was her ¡°little brother¡±. He must not let his uncle know. This answer was exactly the same as Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s. Ji Lingchen mistakenly thought that the two of them had alreadye to an agreement beforehand. He narrowed his eyes and asked, ¡°Is there a history between the two of you?¡± ¡°What? That sounds like torture!¡± Ji Wen was stunned. ¡°Uncle, who said that?¡± Ji Wen had to rify this matter. Ji Lingchen answered evenly and without blushing. ¡°Who else could have told me this apart from the other person involved?¡± Ji Wen thought to himself, ¡®Fang Xiaonuan, you are really ruthless. You could¡¯ve rejected my uncle directly. How dare you say that we have a rtionship? Did I get an ex-girlfriend for no reason?¡¯ ...... Ji Wen misunderstood Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s excuse for having a rtionship. He thought it had something to do with his uncle courting Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan probably thought highly of him if she wanted to use him as an excuse to reject his terrifying uncle. ¡°Oh, no wonder you¡¯re so angry. I wonder if Xiaonuan can win your favor. That¡¯s right! I have a rtionship with her. Do you think about it? We¡¯ve been deskmates for eleven years. How can there not be any exciting stories between us?¡± Ji Wen thought smartly, ¡®I¡¯ll save her one more time!¡¯ Seeing how Ji Wen generously admitted to having a ¡®rtionship¡¯ with his wife after his little trick, Ji Lingchen clenched his fists tightly, and it was like the temperature around him dropped a few degrees. When he suddenly learned that his wife and nephew were exes, he almost lost hisposure. No wonder Fang Xiaonuan had beenughing ever since Ji Wen returned. No wonder they had held hands and ran out to y as soon as they met. No wonder¡­ Ji Wen had risked his life to do his best to keep Fang Xiaonuan in the Ji family¡¯s old mansion. The silence between Ji Lingchen and Ji Wen was loaded. Ji Lingchen suppressed the urge to beat Ji Wen up. He chased him out. Ji Wen immediately ran out of the study. Only then did he feel the warmth of summer. ¡®Oh my God! My uncle was too scary!¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan heard someonee out of the study. She opened the bedroom door and quietly stuck her head out to see Ji Wen, who was still worried. She called out to him in a low voice, ¡°Come here¡­¡± Ji Wen looked over when he heard that and immediately headed towards Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°D*mn you! You lied and didn¡¯t even discuss it with me before telling my uncle about our rtionship?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pulled him into the bedroom and closed the door quietly. ¡°Your uncle was in a hurry this morning and I didn¡¯t have time to discuss it with you. Ji Wen, what were you guys talking about just now?¡± Before Ji Wen could say anything, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Ji Lingchen saw the two of them alone and clenched his fists tightly. Ji Wen saw that the situation was not right and immediately fled. Based on their current rtionship, he was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ¡®ex-boyfriend¡¯, and Fang Xiaonuan was his uncle¡¯s wife, so wasn¡¯t he now his uncle¡¯s love rival? The scariest thing was that his uncle was the person he was most afraid of. It was over. Ji Wen had scolded Fang Xiaonuan for being unreliable more than once in his heart. He clearly knew that he was afraid of his uncle, yet he still attested to a made-up rtionship between himself and his uncle¡¯s wife. He could have lied some other way. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was dark. He did not care about Ji Wen who was running away. Instead, he closed the door. The aura he gave off scared Fang Xiaonuan so much that she shivered. It was strange. She had been fine when she left in the morning. Why did Ji Lingchen be so terrifying when she went back to her parents¡¯ house? It was hard to understand. Chapter 64 - No More Guilt

Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, why did you marry me back then?¡± This was the second time the two of them had discussed this matter after their marriage. The first time, they parted on bad terms. Now, Ji Lingchen needed a clear answer. Otherwise, the person next to him was his nephew¡¯s ex-girlfriend. When he kissed her, his heart would be filled with guilt. Fang Xiaonuan thought of the promise she made with Old Master Ji. She shook her head and stubbornly remained silent. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I can do everything he promised you, and I can do it better than he can. Marriage concerns both of us for the rest of our lives. I hope you can tell me everything you know.¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt Ji Lingchen¡¯s mood and bit the tip of her tongue. ¡°I cannot go back on my word. Since I promised father that I wouldn¡¯t tell you, I can¡¯t break that promise.¡± Ji Lingchen suppressed his anger and tried to make his voice sound gentler, ¡°You should have heard of the saying, ¡®One must be tactful when dealing with the situation.¡¯ Look at the current situation of the Ji family. Listening to me is much better than listening to him. After all, what I can give you is much more than what he can give you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a little lost in the face of her husband who suddenly seemed so serious. She felt that Ji Lingchen had changed too much these days. This person waspletely unfathomable to her. Ji Lingchen added, ¡°What did he threaten you with?¡± ¡°You know?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was very shocked. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s reaction and boldly guessed, ¡°Your family? Yourpany?¡± Now that Ji Lingchen had guessed it himself and not her, Fang Xiaonuan instantly felt no guilt. She nodded, ¡°When your father came to my house, he directly proposed marriage and insisted that I marry you. I really had no choice. I couldn¡¯t live just for myself. I still have a younger brother, and thepany is my parents¡¯ life¡¯s work, so I could only agree.¡± The truth was exactly as Ji Lingchen had guessed. He did not say anything else and left the Ji family home. He was furious at Old Master Ji¡¯s arrogance. He had married his nephew¡¯s girlfriend, but he had fallen in love with this girl. He fully intended to make do with this marriage. He had never cared about marriage. If he married her, so be it. Fortunately, he did not dislike Fang Xiaonuan and liked her looks. Since that was the case, he would try to get along with her and live a good life. ...... Even if he had known three days earlier that Ji Wen and his wife were lovers, he would not have been so conflicted. But now, there was no way he would send Fang Xiaonuan to his nephew. He thought back to when his father had asked him to go to Fang Xiaonuan. When he had heard that he was much older, he had actually told his father to give her to Ji Wen. But now, when he thought about his little wife and his nephew lying on the same bed doing intimate things¡­ He crushed the goblet in his hands. Without realizing it, Ji Lingchen had spent the entire afternoon at the Spirit Creek Vi. Fang Xiaonuan was at home, pacing around the house with her phone. She waited until twelve o¡¯clock for him toe home. Fang Xiaonuan was so tired that she could not open her eyes, so she could only give Ji Lingchen a call. The man at the Spirit Creek Vi saw the caller ID pick up the phone and put it to his ear. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Are youing back tonight? The flowers that I¡¯ve been waiting for are about to wilt. If you don¡¯te back soon, I¡¯ll lock the door and go to sleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tone was soft, it was like a soft marshmallow with a hint of boredom. When she spoke to Ji Lingchen, she even sounded a little coquettish. Ji Lingchen sat up from the sofa and asked, ¡°You¡¯ve been waiting for me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Yeah! Who else would I be waiting for? Are youing back?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Why are you waiting for me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes. Her voice became softer and softer, as if she did not even consider what she was saying. She said it subconsciously, ¡°Hubby,e back quickly! Remember to lock the door when youe back. I won¡¯t wait for you¡­¡± Then, nothing could be heard on the other end of the phone. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He looked at the broken ss beside him and listened to the silence on the other end of the phone in a daze. He hesitated for a moment and got up to grab the car keys. When he got home, it was already past one in the morning. The bedroom door was indeed not locked. He pushed the door open and entered. He saw Fang Xiaonuan sprawled on the bed, the phone in her hand still showing the call screen. Ji Lingchen hung up her phone. He sat beside her. Fang Xiaonuan saw that he hade back and she turned over. She said peacefully, ¡°Hubby, change your clothes and go to sleep.¡± Ji Lingchen saw that his wife had fallen asleep after saying this, and his heart was instantly a mess. He covered her with a nket and went to the bathroom. The next day, Fang Xiaonuan woke up and there was no one beside her. Only the pillow showed traces that someone had slept there.

Fang Xiaonuan scratched her head in a daze. ¡°What time did hee backst night?¡± She was so sleepy that she had lost track of time. Thest thing she remembered fromst night was calling Ji Lingchen. She got up and walked out of the room. She was about to go down for dinner when she suddenly heard Ji Wen scream. ¡°Ahhhh! My uncle is a pervert. I, a man of steel, have never been humiliated like this before!¡± Feng Qi looked troubled. ¡°Your uncle has already found a good teacher for you.¡± Ji Wen jumped up. ¡°Let his wife learn. I won¡¯t go no matter what. I won¡¯t go and learn even if you threaten to kill me today.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was dumbfounded. She said unforgivingly, ¡°You keep screaming so early in the morning. Do you need a beating?¡± Ji Wen¡¯s reaction was even stronger when he saw the culprit. He pointed angrily at Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°It was you who did this. Now my uncle is trying to teach me a lesson!¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked puzzled. ¡°What did I do to you?¡± Feng Qi exined from the side, ¡°Lingchen told me before he left this morning that he had enrolled Xiaowen in an interesting ss. I just found out that he could dance.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Mom, tell the whole story. That¡¯s called belly dancing!¡± Fang Xiaonuan sized up the 1.8-meter-tall Ji Wen and could not help butugh. ¡°Hahaha, why did your uncle send you to a belly dancing ss?¡± Ji Wen pointed at the heartless woman he had saved once again and said indignantly, ¡°It¡¯s all because of you. Otherwise, how else would he have gotten his revenge?¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that she was innocent. What did it have to do with her? Ji Wen dragged her away and they left the hall together. They went to thewn outside to confront each other. ¡°You told my uncle that I¡¯m your ex-boyfriend?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Who would believe it if it got out? Am I blind?! Why would I ever fall for you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s what my uncle said to me yesterday. Then, I admitted that we shared a rtionship once. Now, he thinks of me aspetition,¡± Ji Wen exined. ...... Fang Xiaonuan thought about what happened yesterday and shook her head. She even swore, ¡°I swear that if I say something like that, I¡¯ll be your underling for the rest of my life!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°D*mn, you dare to swear such a poisonous oath? Then what exactly did you say to my uncle yesterday?¡± Fang Xiaonuan recalled, ¡°Yesterday, your uncle suddenly asked about my rtionship with you. I promised you that I wouldn¡¯t say that you were once my underling, so I told him our rtionship was like the one I share with my best friend. I told him we did things like going shopping and going out to y together. Then, your uncle gave me fifteen minutes to pack my clothes, and he went to the car to wait for me. That¡¯s it.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± ¡°Yeah! That¡¯s all. We didn¡¯t say a word on the way home.¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not understand why Ji Lingchen would say that to Ji Wen. Ji Wen scratched his head in confusion. ¡°That doesn¡¯t sound wrong.¡± Fang Xiaonuan agreed. ¡°That¡¯s right! It doesn¡¯t sound wrong at all, but why did your uncle suddenly say that to you?¡± After a short while, Ji Wen reacted. ¡°I know. My uncle deliberately tricked me. He felt that there was something going on between the two of us. It must have seemed like our rtionship was too good.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Scram. Do you think I¡¯m blind or do you think my heart is blind? Why would I fall for you?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯m blind either. What did my uncle think? Why would I fall for you?¡± After the two of them found out the reason, Ji Wen ced his hopes on Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Hey, since I served you for eleven years, help me exin this to my uncle! Stop my belly dance ss!¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. She was full of evil thoughts. ¡°This, this¡­ We¡¯ll talk about itter!¡± In the afternoon, Ji Wen was forced by the butler to go to his belly dance ss. Fang Xiaonuan was worried that it would be boring, so she followed him there to watch. There were ten students in the dance studio. Nine of them were girls, and Ji Wen was the only boy. Other people could easily move, but when it came to Ji Wen, Fang Xiaonuan could hear his screams from outside the ssroom. ¡°Ah! It hurts¡­ My bones are breaking¡­ it hurts! It hurts!¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly took out her phone to record it and send it to her best friend. ¡°Siyu, you won¡¯t guess who Ji Wen is to me now.¡± ¡°Hasn¡¯t he always been your little sidekick?¡± ¡°Ji Wen is actually Ji Lingchen¡¯s biological nephew. There¡¯s actually an invisible rich second generation hidden among the four of us,¡± Fang Xiaonuan exined. ¡°Oh my God, isn¡¯t Ji Wen your nephew then?¡± Liu Siyu sat up from the bed in shock, held the phone in both hands, and messaged Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan sent an emoji and replied, ¡°Yes! I¡¯m his aunt now.¡± Chapter 66 - Ji Lingchen Likes Her?

Following that, Fang Xiaonuan recorded another video and sent it to Liu Siyu. ¡°Ji Wen is the only guy in the dance studio. My husband asked him to learn belly dancing.¡± Liu Siyu had a ton of questions. She was extremely curious about what happened when Fang Xiaonuan married into the Ji family. In the dance studio, Ji Wen was screaming in pain while Fang Xiaonuan wasughing loudly outside. The two of them formed a sharp contrast. ¡­ In the afternoon, Ji Lingchen came home from work. From afar, he saw a couple sitting side by side under the eaves of the Ji family¡¯s old residence. He took this to be some kind of insult. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were holding the same type of ice cream in their hands. They sat side by side under the eaves to avoid the sun. The two of them did not feel his threatening energy at all. Ji Wen said to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Hey, I¡¯ll treat you to ice cream. You have to help me get things done!¡± It was not that Fang Xiaonuan did not want to help Ji Wen, but Ji Lingchen had changed too much recently. She was not sure about him. ¡°What if he doesn¡¯t listen to me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the woman he likes now. Listen to me. Just sweet talk him a little, he¡¯ll listen to everything you say.¡± Those who were caught up in it often had no idea, but those who were watching from the sidelines could see things clearly. If it was before, Ji Wen definitely would not have thought that his creepy little brother turned out to be such a lovebird. The corner of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth twitched. Ji Lingchen likes her? It was without a doubt the biggest joke of her life. Ji Wen said, ¡°If my uncle was not interested in you, he would not have married you.¡± ¡°Did it ever ur to you that he married me because your grandfather threatened him?¡± Ji Wen understood Ji Lingchen¡¯s temperament the most out of everyone else in the Ji family. ¡°Anyone can threaten my uncle. However, he never does anything he does not want to. Even if the king were standing before him, it would be useless.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. It was obvious that she had no credibility herepared to Ji Wen. She took a bite of the ice cream and said, ¡°I promise to speak on behalf of you, but I can¡¯t guarantee that I¡¯ll be able to do it.¡± ...... ¡°Okay, it¡¯s a deal!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s car stopped in front of the two of them. Then, Ji Lingchen got out of the car with a dark expression. The two people who were eating ice cream looked up at the man who got out of the car at the same time. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°What are you doing sitting here?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Waiting for you to get off work.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Apanying her to wait for you to get off work.¡± Ji Lingchen bent down and picked up the girl on the ground. He red at her and said in amanding tone, ¡°Throw away the ice cream.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the half-eaten ice cream and then took another bite. ¡°No.¡± Ji Lingchen directly snatched the delicious food from her hands and threw it into the trash can. He had heard the conversation between the two just now. His nephew had bought her that ice cream. Ji Lingchen was jealous, and the ice cream suffered. Fang Xiaonuan was provoked, while Ji Wen cowered away from the center of the battlefield. Back in the bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan was pouting, and her eyes were burning with anger. She looked at her husband. ¡°Ji Lingchen, you could¡¯ve let me keep the ice cream!¡± Ji Lingchen threw his phone to Fang Xiaonuan and said coldly, ¡°Contact the assistant yourself. Tell me what you want to eat in the future.¡± When Fang Xiaonuan was angry, her mouth got puffed up.It looked as if her mouth was stuffed with something. Ji Lingchen thought this looked very cute. Indeed, beauty was in the eyes of a lover. The current Fang Xiaonuan looked good in his eyes. It would be even better if she could stay away from Ji Wen. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯ll pay for it. Why should I call?¡± Fang Xiaonuan threw the phone back. Clearly, she was still angry. Ji Lingchen took his phone and called his assistant. ¡°Buy an ice cream and send it to the old residence.¡± The assistant who received the call was shocked. The CEO wanted to eat ice cream? He asked boldly, ¡°CEO Ji, what vor do you want to eat?¡± Ji Lingchen frowned slightly. There were different vors of ice cream? He looked at his angry wife and asked, ¡°What vors are there?¡± His assistant said, ¡°Ah? A lot. Strawberry, matcha, chocte¡­¡± ¡°Buy all of them and send them over,¡± Ji Lingchen interrupted his assistant. He did not know what vor this little girl wanted to eat, so he simply bought all of them. The assistant hung up immediately and began buying all the ice cream vors. Fang Xiaonuan pouted and looked at her husband. ¡°Why are you willing to buy me a new ice cream after you threw it away?¡± ¡°I think that ice cream is in the way.¡± Ji Lingchen walked into his wife and reached out to tap his wife¡¯s forehead. He emphasized to her again, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Wen is your nephew. The two of you have to maintain a certain distance.¡± ¡°I understand, I understand,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied softly. ¡°If you understand, why are you eating the ice cream he bought for you?¡± Ji Lingchen finally got to the point. Chapter 67 - You Abused Me!

Fang Xiaonuan replied stupidly, ¡°I used to eat the ice cream he bought!¡± ¡°You still dare to mention the past to me?¡± Ji Lingchen pinched Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s cheek, feeling jealous. ¡°Who¡¯s your husband?¡± ¡°You are, you are. Alright!¡± Fang Xiaonuan pped her own hand on her face. ¡°Ji Lingchen, I want to sue you for abusing me!¡± Ji Lingchen was a little helpless. His grip gradually loosened. Fang Xiaonuan rubbed her face and immediately ran away from him. He pointed at his little wife who was hiding and warned, ¡°Don¡¯t spend other men¡¯s money in the future.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen took out a bank card from his suit jacket and ced it by the bed, ¡°This is your pocket money. Ten million a month. If it¡¯s not enough, ask me for more. If I find out that you¡¯re spending other men¡¯s money, I won¡¯t forgive you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded as if she was admitting defeat, but she did not touch the bank card on the bed. The assistant was very efficient. Not long after, he sent over a box of ice cream. Fang Xiaonuan saw more than ten vors inside and was instantly overjoyed. ¡°It¡¯s worth it. Lose half an ice cream for a whole box. This is not a bad deal.¡± After muttering to herself, she immediately took one out and started eating it. The assistant had never seen the CEO¡¯s wife before. Now that he saw the young girl in front of him, he thought she was a guest of the Ji family. Thus, he said awkwardly, ¡°Miss, this is for our CEO¡¯s wife. You¡­¡± Before the assistant could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m your CEO¡¯s wife.¡± The assistant¡¯s eyes widened in shock. What? Her CEO married a student? At this moment, Ji Lingchen also slowly walked down the stairs. He walked into the hall and saw his wife, who was already eating ice cream. He stared at the ice cream at the corner of her mouth. Thus, he pulled out a tissue from the table and wiped it for her with his own hands. ¡°There¡¯s ice cream everywhere. Wipe it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan red at him fiercely. ¡°None of your business!¡± Ji Lingchen did not reply. Seeing that his wife was holding the ice cream he had bought, he found it much more pleasing to the eye. ...... The assistant, who had been standing off to the side, trying his best to make himself scarce, was now dumbfounded. CEO Ji had married a student. Wasn¡¯t their age gap far too wide? CEO Ji had personally wiped his wife¡¯s mouth. Where was his invincible germaphobe of a boss? CEO Ji did not even reply when his wife yelled at him. Where was his insufferably arrogant temper? ¡®Oh my God!¡¯ Would he be silenced now? Was there a fissure in the ground he could crawl into? Unfortunately, not. Fang Xiaonuan was angry with her husband. As she ate the ice cream, she did not forget to pick up a box and leave the hall. Shepletely ignored Ji Lingchen. The assistant at the side was so embarrassed that he was at a loss for words. He spoke with difficulty, ¡°CEO Ji, um¡­ Do you have any other orders?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°No, let¡¯s go back!¡± The assistant, who had received the pardon, left the Ji family¡¯s home in a sh. He was afraid that if he was too slow, he would be silenced by the CEO. Fang Xiaonuan, who had left the hall, had turned into a sharing expert. She hugged the ice cream that Ji Lingchen had bought for her and shared it with everyone. When she saw Old Master Ji and the butler, she brought the box up for them to have some. ¡°Dad, try it. It tastes good.¡± Old Master Ji did not want to eat it at first, but he could not resist Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s enthusiasm. He picked up some ice cream and tasted it. The ice cream tasted cold and sweet in his mouth. It was soft and creamy. ¡°It¡¯s really good.¡± It was Old Master Ji¡¯s first time trying ice cream. He had said before that it was not healthy to eat it all the time! Fang Xiaonuan gave another one to the housekeeper. Then, she carried the box and went to find Feng Qi. Feng Qi was in the study looking at the Ji family¡¯s expenses. This was something that a mistress of the Ji family had to know. Fang Xiaonuan did not have any spare hands to knock on the door. She could only shout at the top of her voice from outside, ¡°Sister-inw, are you in there?¡± ¡°Yes, juste in!¡± Feng Qi was not on guard against Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan pushed the door open with a box of ice cream in her arms and handed one to Feng Qi. ¡°Sister-inw, my husband bought it. It tastes good. Ice cream is perfect for the summer!¡± Feng Qi smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t eat ice cream. You can eat it for me!¡± ¡°I¡¯m still eating it!¡± Fang Xiaonuan ced the ice cream on Feng Qi¡¯s table. ¡°I still have a lot here! Sister-inw, try it. It¡¯s very delicious.¡± She nced at Feng Qi¡¯s work and pursed her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t understand anything. Sister-inw, you go ahead! I¡¯m leaving!¡± Feng Qi watched her leave with a smile. Ever since the two of them had talked things out, their rtionship had improved by leaps and bounds. Chapter 68 - What Should I Eat Then?

Perhaps Feng Qi had misunderstood Fang Xiaonuan and had done too many things to make things difficult for her, causing her to feel a sense of guilt whenever she saw Fang Xiaonuan. It was this feeling that made her more patient when facing this girl who was the same age as her son. Soon, Feng Qi discovered that this little sister-inw of hers was a straightforward and entric person. She could not hide anything and would say whatever she wanted. She was much better than Lin Rou, who would do anything to achieve her goals. Feng Qi picked up the ice cream on the table, tore open the packaging, and took a bite. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very sweet.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shared the ice cream with everyone. Almost all the servants in the house had some, but Ji Lingchen did not. Back in the bedroom, he asked, ¡°They all have one. Where¡¯s mine?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll eat yours for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had originally saved one for Ji Lingchen, but after eating one, she felt that one was not enough, so she decisively ate her husband¡¯s ice cream. In other words, he probably would not have liked it anyway. He was so cold. She would get rid of it for him! Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife, his Adam¡¯s apple bobbing slightly. ¡°Then what should I eat?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even want to eat it! Who told you to throw mine away?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice became softer and softer. She bit her lip, feeling a little guilty. Ji Lingchen approached her, raised her chin, and stared at her lips. ¡°I bought all of it. Wouldn¡¯t it be a loss if I didn¡¯t try it?¡± After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the girl¡¯s lips. Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. He had just bought her ice cream. Why was he kissing her? ¡°Ji¡­ Mmm.¡± She opened her mouth to give a man an opportunity to take advantage of her, so much so that her mouth was filled with his masculine taste. Ji Lingchen tasted her fragrance in her mouth. It was the smell that he was now infatuated with. The fragrance did not dissipate for a long time. The tip of her tongue still retained the sweet smell of the ice cream from earlier. He became more and more intoxicated with the kiss, and even forgot that she was his nephew¡¯s ¡°ex-girlfriend¡±. Fang Xiaonuan was dazed by the kiss, and once again forgot to push the man away. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang. The ringtonepletely made the mane back to his senses. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes regained their rity, and she pushed away the man who was kissing her passionately. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were also filled with emotion. He looked at his little wife in front of him. Her cheeks were abnormally red, and her breathing was rapid. Her gaze was evasive. The redness on her lips was the best proof that they had just kissed. ¡°Answer the phone first!¡± Fang Xiaonuan picked up the phone and realized that it was Liu Siyu calling. She stood up and walked to the window. She took a deep breath before answering the call. ¡°Siyu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ...... On the other end of the phone, Liu Siyu said excitedly, ¡°Of course, something¡¯s up. It¡¯s a joyous asion!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was puzzled. ¡°Eh? What joyous asion?¡± Liu Siyu said excitedly, ¡°Didn¡¯t youe to mest time to talk about changing majors? My brother helped you do it. After school starts, we¡¯ll be ssmates!¡± Fang Xiaonuan had almost forgotten about this matterpletely. She had been forced into marriage by Old Master Ji, and had been threatened by Ji Lingchen. In a fit of anger, she had decided to study business, and had even confidently nned to acquire the Ji Corporation in the future. She asked happily, ¡°Really? I seeded in transferring to a business school?¡± ¡°Yes! You seeded. I got my brother to transfer us into the same ss. The four of us will have to go to ss together in the future!¡± Liu Siyu was a transfer student, and she felt extremely uneasy in this unfamiliar ce. Fortunately, fate had treated her well. When she had just transferred over from high school, she had already gotten to know three of her best friends. One was a rich girl, the straightforward Fang Xiaonuan. Another was a second-generation official¡¯s son, the handsome Ji Wen. Thest one was a genius student, the well-read and reasonable Jiang Yang. However, after Jiang Yang had gotten a girlfriend, he did not hang out with them anymore. He waspletely focused on his girlfriend, but his academic results did not plummet at all. ¡°What? Ji Wen, Jiang Yang, we¡¯re still in the same ss?¡± This news made Fang Xiaonuan a little happy. Didn¡¯t that mean that Ji Wen, this little brother, woulde to serve her again? Fang Xiaonuan only cared about her own happiness and ignored the man in bed. Ji Lingchen had heard her words clearly just now. He had mistakenly thought that she had transferred to business school just to be in the same major as Ji Wen, and that the old rtionship between his wife and nephew was still there. When he thought of this, his head ached endlessly. The passionate kiss just now was like a tight p on his face at this moment. He took a deep breath to keep himself calm. He looked at his wife indignantly. She wasughing and talking on the phone by the window. Fang Xiaonuan ended the call. She put down the phone and turned around to meet her husband¡¯s gaze. The kiss just now suddenly urred to her. She did not say a word. She leaned against the wall and slowly shifted her position. Once she was far away from Ji Lingchen, she ran out.

She ran out to find Ji Wen. It was not hard for Ji Lingchen to guess that his wife was going to tell his nephew the good news, but he hadpletely misunderstood the two of them. Up until now, neither of them had exined anything. Even if they did exin, he might notpletely believe them. What should he do now? Ji Lingchen sat on the sofa, thinking of moving away! This was the fastest way he could think of. He could prevent the two from meeting, and at the same time, prevent the school from changing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s major. As time passed, the rtionship between the two would definitely fade. If the two were allowed to live together, no one knew how their rtionship would develop. After all, they were only twenty-something-year-old students, and they were young and impetuous. They might act impulsively and not care about the consequences, Ji Lingchen felt that he had to kill all of this. Ji Wen¡¯s bedroom. When Fang Xiaonuan appeared, he was ying games on the sofa. When he saw her, he immediately abandoned his teammate and threw his phone aside. He asked expectantly, ¡°Did it work?¡± ¡°It worked.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pped happily. Ji Wen thought that he had done it, so he clenched his fists and cheered her on. ¡°You¡¯re so loyal! That belly dance is really not something that I can pick up. After just one day, my waist feels like it¡¯s going to break.¡± Fang Xiaonuan paused. ¡°Well, Ji Wen, I¡¯ve seeded, but your task hasn¡¯t beenpleted yet.¡± She told him a piece of good news. ¡°I¡¯ve changed majors!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°And then?¡± ¡°Business school, year two, ss nine.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled as she said this piece of good news. ¡°I said I can¡¯t avoid you anymore, right?¡± What kind of task was this! Ji Wen thought that he did not need to dance anymore, but he had not expected that he would be caught by this tigress after just one year of happiness. Fang Xiaonuan could not hide her smile. She walked over and patted Ji Wen on the shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As an aunt, I will definitely take good care of you, nephew.¡± Ji Wen¡¯s mood copsed. He roared, ¡°Bah! Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯re just pushing your luck. I¡¯ve served you for eleven years, and you still want me to serve you for three more years?¡± ...... Fang Xiaonuan smiled smugly. ¡°It¡¯s been more than ten years. I won¡¯t miss these three years.¡± After the good news was announced, she was very satisfied with Ji Wen¡¯s reaction. She hummed a tune and returned to the bedroom. Ji Lingchen¡¯s face darkened when he saw her smug look. ¡°Are you very happy?¡± ¡°Yes, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked in return. Then, she took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. Her good moodsted until the evening. Before she went to bed, she was still using her phone to send a voice message to Liu Siyu. ¡°You don¡¯t know. When Ji Wen found out that I was going to be in the same ss as him, he was dumbfounded.¡± Ji Lingchen was sitting next to her, reading a book. He was halfway through the book when he heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice message. The book instantly became boring. Then, Fang Xiaonuan sent another voice message. ¡°Hahaha, Ji Wen feels that he can¡¯t hide anymore.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her phone was suddenly snatched away. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her empty palm and then at her husband who had snatched her phone away. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger. ¡°Ji Lingchen, what are you doing? You want to snatch my ice cream and my phone?¡± Ji Lingchen was furious. He ced her phone behind his back and suppressed the anger in his heart. With his other hand, he pulled the girl into his arms and tried his best to soften his tone. ¡°Shall we move?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not moving!¡± She was currently in a fit of anger! Now, no matter what he said to her, she would note anyway. Moreover, living in the old house was veryfortable. She did not have to worry about anything all day long. There was still someone to y with her. How wonderful. Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife and pondered for a long time. He took a deep breath and said the words that he had been thinking about for a long time, ¡°What about Spirit Creek Vi? Do you want to live there?¡± He had once said that the woman who could live in Spirit Creek Vi was one he had approved of. Now that he had invited Fang Xiaonuan, he wanted her to know what it meant. However, the girl who had been invited was still angry. Without even thinking, she rejected the offer. ¡°I don¡¯t want to live there.¡± The big-hearted Fang Xiaonuan did not know what the Spirit Creek Vi meant to Ji Lingchen, nor did she know that the Spirit Creek Vi was the ce where he had grown up alone. She only felt that this name was very familiar. She felt as if she had heard it before. Ji Lingchen took a deep breath and looked at Fang Xiaonuan. In the end, he got up and left. There was nothing he could do to her. Fang Xiaonuan did not care about her husband¡¯s whereabouts. She picked up the phone that had been snatched away and continued to chat with Liu Siyu. Ji Lingchen did note back the entire night. The next day, when they went to have breakfast, Feng Qi asked her, ¡°Xiaonuan, where¡¯s Lingchen?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know! He disappeared early in the morning.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat at the dining table, preparing to eat. Simrly, Ji Wen did not appear at the dining table. ¡°Sister-inw, where¡¯s Ji Wen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Feng Qi said, ¡°He escaped.¡± Chapter 70 - Shattered Dreams

Because he did not want to continue learning belly dancing, Ji Wen went to his grandfather for help. However, when Old Master Ji saw his grandson, he immediately thought of his own blue and white porcin vase, so he firmly refused to help his grandson. Ji Wen went to his parents again. His father said, ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± His mother said, ¡°I can¡¯t help.¡± Ji Wen¡¯s request for help was hopeless, and Fang Xiaonuan was unreliable. He could only pack his luggage in the middle of the night and escape from the Ji family¡¯s home. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it was the start of school. Fang Xiaonuan packed her belongings, picked up her school bag, and was prepared to leave. Ji Wen was also caught. It was said that the day after he left, Ji Lingchen had caught him and sent him to the dance club to continue his sses. These days, Ji Wen¡¯s bones were in pain as if they had been broken and reconnected. Fang Xiaonuan could not stand it any longer. Once, she intercepted Ji Lingchen and tried to persuade him to take back his decision to make Ji Wen learn to dance. Unexpectedly, Ji Lingchen had coldly and arrogantly rejected her. ¡°If there¡¯s a next time, you¡¯ll join him in that ss!¡± This frightened Fang Xiaonuan so much that she did not dare to say anything more. It was finally the start of school. This meant that Ji Wen was safe during the day. However, Ji Lingchen had changed his dance ss from day to night. After learning about this, Ji Wen suddenly felt that he had no more hope in life. On the first day of school, Fang Xiaonuan went to the academic affairs office with her school bag and certificate to change majors. Liu Siyu personally apanied her to go through the procedures. Ji Wen also saw Liu Siyu. When the three of them met, Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyuughed evilly. Liu Siyu asked Ji Wen, ¡°Oh dear, how¡¯s our little brother Ji Wen¡¯s dance training going?¡± ...... Ji Wen thought of his own experience and gritted his teeth. ¡°Liu Siyu, Fang Xiaonuan, did I owe you two in my past life? You¡¯vee to punish me in this life.¡± Fang Xiaonuan wanted to change her major, while Ji Wen wanted to change shifts to escape from the tigress. However, when they arrived at the administrative office, the teacher told the two of them, ¡°Neither of your demands is eptable.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Teacher, are you mistaken? During the summer vacation, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s student status was clearly transferred to the business school. I still have the transfer certificate and the signatures of the two principals. Why can¡¯t it work now?¡± The teacher at the academic affairs office did not check further and did not hide anything. Instead, he replied, ¡°It¡¯s your family members who did not agree to your transfer and informed the higher-ups. Why don¡¯t you discuss it with your family members beforeing back?¡± ¡°My parents have not interfered with my decisions since I was ten. Teacher, you should find a more reliable reason for lying!¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and questioned the teacher. Ji Wen said, ¡°That¡¯s right! I can testify to her words. Even if she can¡¯t change majors, why can¡¯t I change sses?¡± The teacher from the academic affairs office smiled and said, ¡°Young Master Ji, you should go back and ask your uncle about this. Your uncle is a major shareholder of our school. We don¡¯t dare to disobey his words.¡± Ji Lingchen had never interfered in his nephew¡¯s school life before. Ji Wen was already highly regarded in the school just because he was the second generation of an official. The people around him did not know what kind of official his father was. If others found out that he was Ji Lingchen¡¯s biological nephew, this kid would get to do whatever he wanted in school. That was why Ji Lingchen and Mayor Ji never let Ji Wen enjoy the convenience of their status. This was the first time Ji Lingchen had interfered with his nephew¡¯s matters, which was actually because of Fang Xiaonuan. When Ji Lingchen mentioned this matter when he was having a meal with the school leader, everyone¡¯s jaws dropped in shock. Ji Wen¡¯s father was actually the mayor of this city, and his uncle was actually the king of the business world. Therefore, the principal immediately adjusted Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s school records ording to Ji Lingchen¡¯s instructions. The people involved in this matter also knew of Ji Wen¡¯s identity and began to address him as a young master. Ji Wen began to feel uneasy. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan and was about to ask her if his uncle had done something to her when he noticed that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s young and tender face was tightly furrowed. Fang Xiaonuan asked the teacher in the academic affairs office, ¡°Teacher, Ji Lingchen was also the one who stopped my transfer certificate, right?¡± The teacher in the academic affairs office nodded at Fang Xiaonuan. They were also very puzzled. It was fine if Ji Wen was Ji Lingchen¡¯s nephew, but they understood why he did not want to transfer him to sses in other majors. However, Fang Xiaonuan was just an ordinary student. Why would Ji Lingchen bother to manage her affairs? Because they did not know Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s identity, the academic affairs office people did not respect her much. Fang Xiaonuan mmed the documents in her hands onto the table with great force, then turned around and left the academic affairs office. She hade to school early in the morning in high spirits, hoping to start the new sses with new students. However, now she realized that it was not happening. The beautiful dream of spending time with her old friends was shattered by Ji Lingchen. ¡°Xiaonuan, where are you going?¡± Liu Siyu shouted from behind her. Chapter 71 - I Want to See You Right Now

Fang Xiaonuan naturally had to go to the Ji Corporation to argue with Ji Lingchen. If she really could not, she would fight him to vent her anger. Liu Siyu did not catch up to Fang Xiaonuan. She returned to the administrative office, took Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s information, and said to Ji Wen, ¡°Let¡¯s follow Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°She went to look for my uncle to settle the score. Why should we follow her? With her temper, if she fights with my uncle, I really don¡¯t know who will win,¡± Ji Wen said, as though he knew everything. After the group of people left, the teachers of the administrative office began to discuss amongst themselves. They were still suspicious of the identities of Fang Xiaonuan and the Ji family. The surrounding teachers all loved to gossip. ¡°I reckon that the Ji family¡¯s young master is in a rtionship with this girl, and the two of them are going to transfer to ss one. If CEO Ji finds out, he¡¯ll be trying to break up the couple!¡± Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. Fang Xiaonuan had already taken a taxi to the JI Corporation¡¯s building. As soon as she entered, she ran to the front desk and asked, ¡°What floor is Ji Lingchen¡¯s office on?¡± The receptionist had a look of disdain on her face. ¡°Ma¡¯am, do you have an appointment?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯m sorry, ma¡¯am. Thepany has a rule that you cannot see the CEO without an appointment.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took out her phone and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll make an appointment now.¡± She dialed Ji Lingchen¡¯s number. After the call was connected, Ji Lingchen¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m at the lobby of yourpany right now. The front desk said that I need to make an appointment to see you. Let¡¯s make an appointment now!¡± The front desk was dumbfounded. They watched in shock as the little girl in front of them called their CEO. They heard the voice on the other end of the phone confirm that it was undoubtedly their CEO, but the girl called him ¡°hubby¡±? Ji Lingchen raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch. Today was her first day of school. It seemed that she had found out what he had done. ¡°I¡¯m busy. I¡¯ll talk to you at hometonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Home? husband, how many days have you not been home? When I go home, will I see your people?¡± ...... Ji Lingchen was currentlypleting his work in the office. In front of him stood the manager of the finance department. He was holding a report and waiting for the CEO¡¯s approval. ¡°I promise you that I¡¯ll go home tonight,¡± Ji Lingchen said calmly. ¡°No, I want to see you now,¡± Fang Xiaonuan yelled at Ji Lingchen in the lobby. Then, she hung up the phone, turned around, and announced to the front desk, ¡°I have an appointment with Ji Lingchen now. Send me up!¡± The front desk was still in shock. ¡°Ah, you¡­ you are the CEO¡¯s wife?¡± She looked too young! Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Indeed. Do you need me to call the housekeeper at home and ask her to send me a marriage certificate to prove my identity?¡± The receptionist quickly shook her head. ¡°Madam, please wait a moment. We still need to verify it.¡± The receptionist called the staff in the CEO¡¯s office and exined the situation. The person who answered the call was Ji Lingchen¡¯s secretary. She did not know that the CEO was married, so she said, ¡°She should be a liar. Chase her away!¡± The receptionist did hear the CEO¡¯s voice just now. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan hesitantly. ¡°Madam, please leave. The CEO¡¯s secretary doesn¡¯t know your identity. If you disturb our office again, I¡¯ll have to call security.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not know that it would be so hard. ¡°Ji Lingchen doesn¡¯t want to see me?¡± The receptionist nodded. Fang Xiaonuan saw peopleing and going in the hall. She could not force her way in, but Ji Lingchen did not want to see her. She nced at the sofa not far away and said, ¡°Fine, he doesn¡¯t want to see me, right? I¡¯ll just sit there and wait for him.¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan sat there with her schoolbag on her back. The man in the office was in a bad mood after his wife hung up on him. He knew that she was here to settle the score with him, but he was avoiding her. He was not even in the mood to look at the financial statements. ¡°You can leave first!¡± ¡°Yes, CEO.¡± The finance manager carefully left the office with the documents in his hands. The girl downstairs was still waiting. Not long after, the secretary walked in with the documents and talked about how the receptionist had contacted him just now. ¡°CEO Ji, I heard from the receptionist that there was a girl downstairs who imed to be your wife and wanted to meet you. I refused and asked the receptionist to chase her away. Children nowadays really dare to say anything.¡± Ji Lingchen paused, holding a teacup. He raised his head and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me of this matter first?¡± ¡°CEO, you don¡¯t have a wife?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with a cold expression, ¡°Have you been misinformed, or is the ring on my ring finger that inconspicuous?¡± The secretary sensed that the CEO was angry. Her gaze immediately went to Ji Lingchen¡¯s ring finger. Chapter 72 - Are You Out of Your Mind?

There was actually a wedding ring on the CEO¡¯s finger. The secretary¡¯s eyes widened. Could the girl downstairs really be the CEO¡¯s wife? ¡°CEO Ji, was that really your wife just now?¡± Ji Lingchen ignored the secretary. He put down the teacup and stood up, intending to personally go downstairs to bring Fang Xiaonuan up. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. The secretary was terrified, thinking that the CEO was angry. ¡°CEO Ji, our staff chased your wife away just now. I really didn¡¯t know that you had a wife. I¡­¡± Ji Lingchen guessed that Fang Xiaonuan was such a stubborn person that she definitely would not leave. He chased the secretary away and called his assistant. ¡°Go downstairs and bring Fang Xiaonuan up.¡± The assistant said, ¡°The young madam came to the office?¡± Ji Lingchen was not satisfied with the way his assistant addressed him. ¡°What you said makes it sound like I have another wife. A first madam?¡± The assistant immediately understood what he had done wrong. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, CEO Ji. I¡¯ll go downstairs immediately to pick up the madam.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Ji Lingchen hung up the phone. He sat back in his seat and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache. He could even predict how Fang Xiaonuan would argue with him when she arrived. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, ah, Fang Xiaonuan, why did you call me that night to ask me to go home?¡± Ji Lingchen knew that his little wife and nephew had a rtionship, so he went to the Spirit Creek Vi. He thought he would be doing her a favor if he stayed there for a night. However, she had called him in the middle of the night to ask him to go home. She would never know what this call meant to him. Just as Ji Lingchen was nursing a headache, the office door was kicked open with a bang. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hair was standing on end, ¡°Ji Lingchen, what do you mean? Why is it a problem for you if I change my major? You want to control the world and control me? Who do you think you are? Are you not busy enough with such argepany? Are you so crazy that you have to meddle in my affairs when you have nothing to do?¡± The assistant who sent Fang Xiaonuan upstairs was stunned. The people working outside the office were also stunned. The door of the CEO¡¯s office was not closed just now, so they heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words clearly. This girl actually dared to scold their CEO. Was she courting death? The assistant did not dare to enter the president¡¯s office. He silently closed the door of the CEO¡¯s office, then leaned his back against the door and touched his own heart. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s beating so fast.¡± The secretary had just learned of the shocking news, and now she was shocked by Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s kick at the door. Then, she was shocked by her scolding. She hurriedly asked the assistant, ¡°Is that the CEO¡¯s wife?¡± The assistant nodded. ¡°Yes, the wife wanted to eat ice cream that day. The CEO asked me to buy all the vors and send them over. That day, the CEO personally admitted that she was his wife.¡± In the office, Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was dark. ¡°Have you finished scolding me?¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re not listening. I¡¯ve already scolded you today. Do you feel too bored?! Why does my going to business school bother you? Did I spend your money or use your connections? I¡¯m married to you, and I can¡¯t even study what I want to learn? If you do this, our marriage will be ruined!¡± Ji Lingchen suppressed the raging anger in his heart. Who said that he had never been angered by his little wife¡¯s words? Was he not angry enough? She had been the most angry with him out of everyone in his entire family! Fang Xiaonuan could not control her temper at all, so her mouth was like a machine gun as she aimed at Ji Lingchen and fired. ¡°You¡¯re already so old, so can you not be a tyrant? Don¡¯t think that just because you have power and influence, you can interfere in everything I do. Can you not be so overbearing?¡± Ji Lingchen closed his eyes. As expected, he had thought that she was too kind just now. ¡°Continue scolding. I¡¯ll see what else you say.¡± ¡°I¡¯m scolding you because I¡¯m giving you a chance. I won¡¯t scold you anymore. I¡¯ll just be angry with you forever,¡± Fang Xiaonuan retorted. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to talk, then it¡¯s my turn. If you change majors because you really like this major, I¡¯ll support you and be willing to give you all the help you need. But if you flirt with Xiaowen right under my nose and fall in love with him, I¡¯m hereby warning you. Changing majors is a small matter, and it¡¯s possible to even change schools. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, we¡¯ll move overseas. You¡¯ve married me, so you have responsibilities as a woman. No matter what you had with Ji Wen in the past. That¡¯s already history. Now, I am your spouse. Me. Ji Lingchen.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned by what he said. ¡°You¡¯re saying that I¡¯m not a proper woman? That I flirted with Ji Wen? Are you out of your mind? Why would you say such things?¡± Chapter 73 - Misunderstanding

Chapter 73: Misunderstanding

Ji Lingchen kept silent. Fang Xiaonuan waspletely enraged. ¡°If I were in a rtionship with Ji Wen, would I still marry you? Can you find a decent excuse for lying? It¡¯s out of character and unbing.¡± Ji Lingchen controlled his temper and suppressed his anger. He said, ¡°You went out with Ji Wen to watch movies, go shopping, and even went on trips together. You both did everything that a boyfriend and girlfriend should do. Aren¡¯t you two a couple? Xiaowen met your parents. Haven¡¯t you two been together for a lifetime? Xiaowen personally admitted that you two had a rtionship. Could it be fake? Fang Xiaonuan, while you were with Xiaowen, you were ying around with him right under my nose. At the same time, you were hanging on to me. You called me in the middle of the night and told me toe home to sleep. You were acting coquettishly and calling me husband. Are all women as hypocritical as you?¡± When Fang Xiaonuan heard Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, she was confused again. It seemed that there was a misunderstanding between the husband and wife. Moreover, this misunderstanding was not small. If she allowed it to continue, the consequences would be out of control. ¡°Ji Lingchen, do you think that your nephew and I are ex-boyfriend and girlfriend?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked again, ¡°So you didn¡¯t let me transfer to business school and didn¡¯t let Ji Wen transfer sses because you didn¡¯t want our ¡®old rtionship to rekindle¡¯?¡± This time, Ji Lingchen did not answer. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan with a nk look in his eyes and asked sincerely, ¡°Will you rekindle your old rtionship?¡± ¡°Nonsense! Rekindle?! How can it be reignited if it hasn¡¯t been ignited in the first ce? I don¡¯t understand. How does that brain of yours manage such a bigpany? And a business emperor? Ugh, Ji Wen is my little sidekick. How can I have feelings for my own little brother? Am I crazy? You are really unreasonable!¡± Fang Xiaonuan ced her hand on her forehead. She was a little speechless. After going around in circles, it turned out that the source of the misunderstanding was here. Then, she could only let Ji Wen down first. Ji Lingchen listened to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words. Her nephew was her little brother? Her little sidekick? Then what was the rtionship between them? Fang Xiaonuan calmed down. Since there was a misunderstanding, she had to resolve it. She began to tell Ji Lingchen the story in chronological order. ¡°In the second grade of elementary school, he wanted to bully me and I beat him up. Then, I returned the favor. In grade one, he went to me for revenge, and I destroyed him instantly. In grade one, he still couldn¡¯t understand his own strength and challenged me again. I hit him a little too hard this time and beat him up badly¡­¡± In line Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s story, Ji Lingchen did remember that his nephew had been badly beaten up for a period of time and had even taken a leave of absence. It turned out that the girl who had beaten him up was his little wife. He sat on the sofa and continued listening to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°After graduating from high school, he and I, along with Siyu, and one more genius student coincidentally went to the same university. Ji Wen had chosen business school in order to avoid me. He thought that he had escaped from my clutches, but he didn¡¯t expect that I would marry you and be his aunt.¡± Ji Lingchen was immersed in his memories. When Ji Wen first met Fang Xiaonuan, he did not look surprised. Instead, he looked shocked. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°He had asked me to keep this a secret. He had always been the tyrant at home. He loved his reputation and didn¡¯t want me to tell everyone about the eleven years of his student days when I bullied him. In exchange, he promised that if there were any more disputes between his mother and me, he would mediate the conflict and protect me. And I would help him hide the fact that he was my underling. That time when I went back to my house, it was not surprising that my parents knew him. This is because he woulde to my house every winter and summer vacation to help me with my homework. When he came to my house, Siyu was always there. My parents also knew that I always bullied Ji Wen in school. After that, you asked me about my rtionship with Ji Wen. At that time, I promised Ji Wen that I wouldn¡¯t tell his family about him being my underling. So, I told you about things I did with Siyu. The shopping and traveling didn¡¯t happen between Ji Wen and me. The real person I went on those outings with was my best friend, Siyu.¡± Ji Lingchen looked into the girl¡¯s eyes, which were as clear as water. He had already begun to believe her. If that was really the case, then he had misunderstood the rtionship between the two of them from the very beginning. ¡°Then why did Xiaowen make such a big fuss? Why did he not hesitate to anger the old man who could protect him for a while to keep you here?¡± Fang Xiaonuan answered in detail. ¡°He thought he was smart and thought that you would force yourself on me that night. After all, we¡¯ve been friends for more than ten years. He won¡¯t turn a blind eye to my problems. At least I can call for help at home. He can save me.¡± Chapter 74 - Isn’t it Good to be My Wife?

Ji Lingchen asked again, ¡°Then why did he admit to having a rtionship with you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°This is all your fault. Only you know what you said when you pressured him to answer. Ji Wen mistakenly thought that you were interested in me, but I wasn¡¯t interested in you. I used him as a shield, so he admitted it. I didn¡¯t realize that you were digging a hole for him to fall into.¡± Ji Lingchen thought that this was the first time in his life that he had misunderstood something of this magnitude. Fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved, and his doubts dissipated. He felt much better. Fang Xiaonuan did not expect it to be a misunderstanding either. She was so angry that she directly hit Ji Lingchen¡¯s chest. ¡°I told you to keep your wild guesses to yourself if something happened. It¡¯s a misunderstanding! You¡¯re driving me crazy!¡± Ji Lingchen received a huge blow from his irritable wife. He did not say anything. He stood up and walked to his desk to pick up his phone to call the school¡¯s leader. ¡°Hello, this is Ji Lingchen.¡± The principal on the other end of the line greeted him respectfully. ¡°Hello, CEO Ji. What can I do for you?¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s transfer procedures are normal. Send her to ss 29,¡±Ji Lingchen instructed. The principal asked, ¡°CEO Ji, what if Young Master Ji wants to transfer sses?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Everything can proceed as normal. He will stay in ss 9 and continue to serve his aunt!¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked in surprise as she watched the man¡¯s actions. The principal took the liberty to ask, ¡°CEO Ji, who is his aunt?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my wife, Fang Xiaonuan.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen hung up the phone on the shocked principal whose jaw had dropped. Fang Xiaonuan was so shocked that her mouth had turned into an ¡°O¡± shape. ¡°Didn¡¯t you suspect that I have a rtionship with Ji Wen? Why did you say that we have a rtionship?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was obviously very shocked, but she did not forget to be angry. Ji Lingchen apologized directly, ¡°I was wrong to misunderstand. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not know how precious Ji Lingchen¡¯s apology was. She only knew that Ji Lingchen¡¯s good attitude in admitting his mistake quelled her anger. Fang Xiaonuan waspletely appeased and sat on the sofa, ¡°Then, you can¡¯t tell the principal about our rtionship as husband and wife! I¡¯ll be the subject of school gossip. Besides, I just became the campus belle of our school. I don¡¯t want to be a campus belle with a husband.¡± Ji Lingchen sized up his little wife from head to toe. She was indeed delicate and charming. The more he looked at her, the more interesting she was. If she was single, it would be really dangerous. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to be my wife?¡± ¡°I still don¡¯t want others to know that I got married so early. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be the center of attention in school. I want to have a calm university life instead of having people talk about me behind my back,¡± Fang Xiaonuan muttered. Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan looked at each other. His little wife¡¯s eyes were filled with stubbornness. If he did not agree now, this girl would probably quarrel with him again in the next moment. Thus, the once fierce and arrogant CEO Ji, once again,promised in front of his little wife. He called the principal in front of Fang Xiaonuan, asking him to keep their rtionship a secret. Ji Lingchen realized that ever since he met Fang Xiaonuan, he had always been on the side ofpromise. Regarding the agreement, hepromised; regarding moving, hepromised; regarding changing majors, hepromised; and now regarding the secret marriage, he stillpromised. ¡°Are you satisfied this time?¡± Ji Lingchen hung up the phone and asked his wife who was sitting in front of him. ¡°It¡¯s alright! Seeing that you admit your mistake and have a good attitude about it, I¡¯ll forgive you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded and looked to the side, still looking a little angry. Ji Lingchen was so proud of his cute wife that heughed out loud. Fang Xiaonuan nced at him and realized that he was smiling at her. She was a little nervous and asked, ¡°What are youughing at?¡± ¡°What else can I smile at? I¡¯mughing at how brave you are. How dare youe into my office and scold me? You¡¯re the first one to do that.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s smile did not fade as he said this. His gaze never left Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan finally realized that she had indeed gone a little overboard. However, she still said without mercy, ¡°Why not? You did something wrong. Besides, it¡¯s not illegal to scold your husband.¡± Ji Lingchen agreed with Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words. There would always be times when a husband and wife would quarrel. Fortunately, the misunderstanding had been resolved, and he was in a good mood now. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s issues had been resolved. She felt ufortable being in the same room as Ji Lingchen in thepany, so she walked out without looking back. Before closing the door, she did not forget to politely say to Ji Lingchen, ¡°I¡¯m leaving. If you don¡¯te home tonight, don¡¯te back at all. Goodbye!¡± Chapter 75 - Nothing is Too Difficult in this World

With that, Fang Xiaonuan ran out as if she was running away. With Ji Lingchen¡¯s instructions, Fang Xiaonuan was able to go through the procedures for changing majors very smoothly. Ji Wen also went to change sses in high spirits, but he received a polite reply from the teacher in charge of academic affairs. ¡°Young Master Ji, CEO Ji still doesn¡¯t agree with you changing sses. You should go back andmunicate with him beforeing back!¡± ¡°No, why should I? She can change majors, I can¡¯t¡­¡± Ji Wen was most afraid of the current situation, Fang Xiaonuan could be transferred into his ss, but he could not change sses. This meant that in the next three years, he would have to continue to serve Fang Xiaonuan, that tigress. Fang Xiaonuan was in a great mood. Afterpleting the procedures, she took her certificate to change majors and was about to report for duty. Ji Wen pulled her along and asked, ¡°How did you convince my uncle?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I went to your uncle¡¯s office and scolded him.¡± Ji Wen asked, ¡°Can you tell me something that¡¯s actually possible?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said sincerely, ¡°I really scolded your uncle a few times. The people outside the door of his office heard it. In the end, he agreed to let me change my major. You can go and try. There¡¯s nothing that¡¯s too difficult in this world. Maybe if you scold him, you won¡¯t be afraid of him anymore. But there¡¯s also a possibility that next year, Siyu and I will be visiting you at your grave.¡± Before Ji Wen could say anything, Liu Siyu called. Fang Xiaonuan pressed the answer button. ¡°Siyu, I¡¯m done here. You¡­¡± Before Fang Xiaonuan could finish, Liu Siyu rushed to say, ¡°The brainiac, Jiang, left. He went to study abroad with his girlfriend.¡± When Ji Wen heard this, he was instantly unhappy. From time to time, that Jiang kid would speak up for him. ¡°This kid really forgets loyalty when he¡¯s seeing someone. He abandoned me the second he got a girlfriend!¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that something was off. He felt that Jiang Yang was not such a person. His academic results were excellent. If he wanted to go abroad, he would have done so long ago. The few of them had agreed to study in their home country. She had never expected that the first person to break the agreement would be him. ¡°Siyu, did Jiang Yang leave directly? Or is he in ss now?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°The teacher said that he had already applied for it before the holidays. I just found out about this matter, and I couldn¡¯t get in touch with him just now.¡± It seemed that he was leaving without saying goodbye. Fang Xiaonuan hung up the phone and slowly walked toward the ssroom. Ji Wen, who was making a ruckus at the side, interrupted her thoughts. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t worry about that heartless person. Help me think of a way!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve given you a way. Whether you dare to do it or not is up to you.¡± Since he had left without saying goodbye, Fang Xiaonuan simply did not think about it anymore. Ji Wen said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, don¡¯t you feel bad when you put me in such a position?¡± Even if Ji Wen had boundless courage, he would not dare to scold his uncle. After finishing the formalities for Fang Xiaonuan, the principal immediately called Ji Lingchen to report the situation to him. After hearing this, Ji Lingchen was in a good mood and thanked the principal. Ever since he resolved the misunderstanding with Fang Xiaonuan, he was free of his internal struggle and his conscience was now clear. Fang Xiaonuan had been his wife from the start and she had nothing to do with Ji Wen. He did not need to hesitate to kiss her at night. Ji Lingchen was in a great mood when he thought of all this. He even wanted to personally pick up his wife from school. He sent a message to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°What time is school over? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had already arrived at ss by this time. She sessfully met up with Liu Siyu. She looked at the message Ji Lingchen sent her and said to Siyu, ¡°Siyu, help me analyze something. Ji Lingchen doesn¡¯t seem to be normal. Listen to me. See if he¡¯s the legendary multiple personalities.¡± Ji Wen leaned over. ¡°Let me see it too. That¡¯s my uncle. I¡¯ll definitely give you better advice.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. The three of them gathered together and she told the two of them about Ji Lingchen¡¯s recent strange behavior. Then, she showed the two of them the message on her phone. ¡°Ji Lingchen ising to pick me up from school. Why is my first reaction fear?¡± After Ji Wen and Liu Siyu heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words, they looked at each other. There was only one thought in their minds: Ji Lingchen had fallen for Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°My uncle has fallen for you. Half of the things you¡¯re saying are because he¡¯s jealous,¡± Ji Wen said straightforwardly, and Liu Siyu chimed in. ¡°ording to what you said, he has indeed fallen for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan subconsciously denied it. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. We have nothing to do with each other. Why would he be jealous?¡± Ji Wen was filled with bitterness at the mention of this. ¡°My uncle sent me to the dance club to learn belly dancing. Isn¡¯t that jealousy? Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯re a bit slow.¡± Chapter 76 - Ji Lingchen Has Taken a Liking to You

Liu Siyu said, ¡°You two haven¡¯t done anything yet? You¡¯re already on his household register. He was jealous and sent Ji Wen to learn dance, and he didn¡¯t let you change majors. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, he¡¯s letting you transfer and not letting Ji Wen transfer. Isn¡¯t that the same as letting him stay in ss 9 to serve you? Nuannuan, your Ji Lingchen really likes you.¡± ¡°See! I told you that my uncle is interested in you. Previously, she didn¡¯t believe what I said, but now even you¡¯re seeing it, Siyu. You should believe it!¡± Ji Wen said in a deep voice, as if he had discovered something extraordinary. When Fang Xiaonuan heard the two of them say this, her heart was slightly moved. ¡°This¡­ can¡¯t be!¡± Her face was flushed red, and her mind was like a movie, ying all the memories she had shared with Ji Lingchen thus far. Liu Siyu was rather surprised. She looked at her friend. ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯re awesome! You¡¯ve only been married for a short while, and you¡¯ve already made every girl¡¯s dream guy fall in love with you!¡± Ji Wen stood beside them and said, ¡°Just Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s looks alone have won my uncle¡¯s heart. My uncle likes how she looks innocent and ignorant. Besides, my uncle has never had a woman in his entire life. Fang Xiaonuan isn¡¯t bad looking. Such a beautiful woman lies beside him every day. If he wasn¡¯t impotent, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold himself back.¡± Fang Xiaonuan red at Ji Wen and spoke evenly. ¡°I¡¯ll tell your uncle what you said.¡± Ji Wen immediately backed down. He made a gesture to shut up and looked at Fang Xiaonuan with anticipation, hoping that she would find her conscience and not tell his uncle about this. Liu Siyu said, ¡°I don¡¯t think what Ji Wen said ispletely unreasonable! You¡¯re good-looking. If you weren¡¯t you wouldn¡¯t have been chosen as the campus belle. Men are all visual creatures. I think that Ji Lingchen has taken a fancy to you. In addition to the rtionship between the two of you, it¡¯s perfectly normal for him to have feelings for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan carefully recalled the minute details of her interactions with Ji Lingchen, but she still felt that it was a little abnormal. She stretched out her arm and said, ¡°Can you guys smell any fragrance on me?¡± The two of them leaned their heads closer and took a careful sniff. Liu Siyu shook her head, and Ji Wen shook his head as well. ¡°Xiaonuan, you usually don¡¯t use perfume. There¡¯s no fragrance. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Ji Lingchen always says that I smell good, and he even asks me what toothpaste, shampoo, and body wash I usually use, but the ones I use are all odorless!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said truthfully. Liu Siyu, the top gossiper, caught the main point. She said happily, ¡°So, you kissed Ji Lingchen!¡± Ji Wen stared at her as well. ¡°Could it be that you and my uncle are now truly husband and wife? Am I going to have a little brother? Or a little sister?¡± Fang Xiaonuan interrupted their thoughts. ¡°No, what are you two thinking about? I just don¡¯t understand why he keeps saying that I smell good when I don¡¯t.¡± After a moment of depression, Ji Lingchen called. The three of them held their breaths at the same time. Usually, they were not this nervous when answering calls. Fang Xiaonuan picked up the call. She put it to her ear. ¡°Hello¡­¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Did you see the WeChat message I sent you just now?¡± ¡°Ah? I was busy just now and didn¡¯t notice. Um¡­ Um, is something the matter?¡± Fang Xiaonuan listened to Ji Lingchen¡¯s maic voice. The words that Liu Siyu and Ji Wen had said with certainty just now rang in her ears. ¡®Ji Lingchen had taken a fancy to you.¡¯ Thus, when she answered the phone, she was unusually shy and gentle. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°What time will school be over? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan rejected him without hesitation. ¡°No need. I¡¯m going out with Siyu after school.¡± Ji Lingchen did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and talked as though he had been hurt. ¡°This is my first time offering to drive you myself, and you cruelly rejected me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then you should get used to being rejected! You¡¯ll get used to it in the future.¡± Ji Wen and Liu Siyu, who were eavesdropping, gave Fang Xiaonuan a thumbs up. What an awesome person! She was not afraid of Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen was in a good mood and did not force her. Since she had an appointment, he could only hang up the phone regretfully. After he hung up, Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip and leaned on the table, her gaze never leaving the phone. Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just feel ufortable.¡± Chapter 77 - Complete Surrender

Liu Siyu propped her face up with one hand, looking as if she knew something big. ¡°Xiaonuan, please don¡¯t tell me that you have feelings for Ji Lingchen as well.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°Ji Wen, do you know where your uncle has been staying these past few days?¡± ¡°Spirit Creek Vi!¡± Ji Wen answered without thinking. Ji Lingchen did not live in the old residence to begin with. He only started living in the old residence after he got married. Previously, Ji Lingchen had only returned to the old residence for one reason: to deal with him. Fang Xiaonuan was familiar with that ce. Suddenly, she remembered Ji Lingchen asking her, ¡°Do you want to move to Spirit Creek Vi?¡± Without waiting for Fang Xiaonuan to ask, Liu Siyu asked first, ¡°Spirit Creek Vi? Why haven¡¯t I heard of this ce?¡± ¡°Of course, you haven¡¯t heard of it. Spirit Creek Vi is my uncle¡¯s private residence. Apparently, my uncle has lived there since he was young, and no one can enter at will. Only those who are very important to my uncle can enter. To tell you the truth, my uncle only came to the Ji family¡¯s old residence to discipline me. Spirit Creek Vi is my uncle¡¯s real home.¡± Ji Wen did not notice Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s reaction. She was in a daze. He even said to himself, ¡°If Fang Xiaonuan one day lives in the Spirit Creek Vi with him, then she might be my aunt for the rest of her life.¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked quickly and asked Ji Wen in disbelief, ¡°Spirit Creek Vi is Ji Lingchen¡¯s home?¡± Ji Wen answered without hesitation. He had nothing to hide from Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Yes! Spirit Creek Vi means a lot to my uncle. Spirit Creek Vi is his home.¡± Fang Xiaonuan drank some water nervously. She should not have misheard that day! In order to confirm her guess, she asked Ji Lingchen when she got home that night, ¡°That, that old¡­ Husband, can I ask you something?¡± Ji Lingchen saw his little wife¡¯s stuttering. He felt that her nervous expression was extremely cute. He deliberately teased her, ¡°Why, aren¡¯t you used to calling me husband?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s okay! It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not used to it, it¡¯s just¡­ It¡¯s just a little awkward.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. Just get used to it, just like how you made me get used to being rejected. Remember, you can only call me husband from now on,¡± Ji Lingchen said as he sat by the bed and picked up a foreignnguage book. Fang Xiaonuan squatted by Ji Lingchen¡¯s side and grabbed the book he was holding with one hand. She raised her head and asked, ¡°Old¡­ Husband, I just wanted to ask you, did you say that you were going to take me to the Spirit Creek Vi that night?¡± Ji Lingchen looked down at her. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking about this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan got up and sat by the bed. She hung her head and did not look at Ji Lingchen. She said, ¡°Oh, I was just curious. I heard Ji Wen say something today.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say no to me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was shocked upon getting that confirmation. It turned out that he was really talking about the Spirit Creek Vi that night. ¡°Ji Lingchen¡­ you¡­¡± ¡°What did I say just now? Call me hubby.¡± Ji Lingchen took the initiative to ask. Fang Xiaonuan paused for a moment before she spoke again. ¡°Hubby, why did you want to bring me to stay at Spirit Creek Vi?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s cocked his head slightly as he looked at his little wife beside him. ¡°You want to know?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded frantically. She really wanted to know. She really wanted to know what this man thought of her. Ji Lingchen inconspicuously approached Fang Xiaonuan and whispered into her ear, ¡°If you want to know, act coquettishly with me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. What sort of weird request was that? She stood up and punched Ji Lingchen¡¯s shoulder. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to tell me, then don¡¯t tell me. Hmph! I don¡¯t want to know!¡± She was about to go to sleep when Ji Lingchen suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Fang Xiaonuan leaned back as Ji Lingchen held her. While she was in a daze, Ji Lingchen lifted her chin and kissed her. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s teeth were still clenched. Ji Lingchen¡¯s tongue went straight into her mouth and intertwined with hers. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were wide open. She was being kissed and remained stiff, but did not resist. Suddenly, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body was suspended in the air. Ji Lingchen carried her and theny on top of her. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s nervous hands were holding onto the bedsheet. Her body was tense, while Ji Lingchen was still kissing her passionately, tasting her fragrance. The shoulder straps of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s nightgown slid down without her realizing. They slid down to her chest. Ji Lingchen propped himself up and looked at the girl beneath him with tenderness in his eyes. ¡°Do you know why now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. Before she could react, Ji Lingchen kissed her again. This time, his gentleness made Fang Xiaonuan fall for himpletely. Chapter 78 - So, You’re Embarrassed

Fang Xiaonuan slowly closed her eyes, and the hand that was gripping the nket slowly loosened. Ji Lingchen took off his jacket and reached out to take off his white shirt. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s nightgown had long since slipped down to her waist, and her upper body was exposed. Ji Lingchen was barely able to endure it. He propped himself up and asked Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Do you know why now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded this time. Ji Lingchen asked his wife, who was already in a trance, ¡°Do you want to continue?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips in fear and did not dare to move. Ji Lingchen continued, ¡°If you want to continue, close your eyes and I¡¯ll kiss you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan blushed shyly. She had never experienced such a thing and did not know what to do. Ji Lingchen knew that the girl was young and did not know what to do, so he leaned over and tried to kiss her again. Fang Xiaonuan did not refuse. Just as their clothes were in disarray, there was a knock on the door, and the couple on the bed regained their senses at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan realized that she was not wearing anything, and Ji Lingchen¡¯s clothes were off as well. She covered her face in embarrassment. At the door, Ji Wen, who did not know that he had ruined his uncle¡¯s ns, shouted, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I have something to talk to you about. Come out for a while.¡± Ji Lingchen lowered his head and looked at his wife, who was inches below him. Perhaps it was because he was shy, but her pinkish body was beautiful. He pulled the nket over her and got off the bed. As he walked away, he put on his shirt. When he reached the door, Ji Lingchen opened the bedroom door and kicked Ji Wen without saying a word. ¡°Ah! It hurts¡­¡± Ji Wen screamed in pain. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Go to my study. If you don¡¯t have anything important to do tonight, I won¡¯t forgive you.¡± Ji Wen covered the part Ji Lingchen had kicked and stepped back in pain. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m looking for Fang Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°She¡¯s asleep. If you have something to say to her, you can say it to me.¡± The more Ji Lingchen looked at Ji Wen, the more he disliked him. It looked like he had to set a rule to prohibit anyone from knocking on his door after nine in the evening. Ji Wen did not dare to refuse. He followed Ji Lingchen to his study. As soon as he entered the study, Ji Lingchen roared angrily, ¡°Speak your mind.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I just wanted to tell Fang Xiaonuan that someone is ndering her in the school belle evaluationpetition.¡± Ji Lingchen narrowed his eyes. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the one in second ce, Gao Qianqian.¡± There was a difference of several thousand votes between her and Fang Xiaonuan. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t catch up. Now, she¡¯s saying on the school forum that Fang Xiaonuan is a kept woman who has had stic surgery,¡± Ji Wen exined in detail. Ji Lingchen already had a solution in mind. He tapped the table rhythmically and asked, ¡°I understand. Is there anything else?¡± Ji Wen took a deep breath and said carefully, ¡°Uncle, actually, there¡¯s nothing else. It¡¯s just that the misunderstanding has been resolved. So, can I stop going to dance club? Please let me off.¡± Ji Lingchen waved his hand. ¡°Sure, there¡¯s no need to go tomorrow. But from now on, you¡¯re not allowed to look for your aunt and me after 9 at night. If there¡¯s anything you need to bring up, we¡¯ll talk during the day.¡± Ji Wen nodded obediently. Then, he thanked him profusely and was about to leave when Ji Lingchen stopped him. ¡°Wait, there¡¯s more. From now on, you have to call her aunt ording to her seniority at home. Also, she¡¯s the school belle now. There will be more and more members of the opposite sex around her. Do you know what to do?¡± Ji Wen pped his hands excitedly. He patted his chest and said with a look of understanding, ¡°Leave this matter to me. Don¡¯t worry, uncle.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded in satisfaction at his nephew¡¯s self-awareness. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell the butler. Go back!¡± Ji Wen bowed to Ji Lingchen, turned around, and ran away. Ji Lingchen was in the study, reminiscing about the erotic moment in the bedroom just now. If Ji Wen had not suddenly disturbed him tonight, perhaps everything that should have happened tonight would have happened. In the future, they would get along much better. He took a deep breath, stood up, and walked back to the bedroom with a smile on his face. Fang Xiaonuan, who was curled up on the bed, heard the door opening. Her eyes instantly closed, and her body tensed up. The messy bed had now returned to its original state. Ji Lingchen¡¯s space was now empty, and she was curled up on the side of the bed, pretending to be asleep. Ji Lingchen stood by the bed, unmoving. He sized up his wife, who was pretending to be asleep. With a smile on his face, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, ¡°So, you¡¯re embarrassed.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was still under the nket, did not move. She continued to pretend to be asleep, but her face turned even redder. Ji Lingchenughed out loud. He got up and walked into the bathroom to take a cold bath. The next morning, during breakfast, Ji Lingchen helped Fang Xiaonuan get her favorite food. Chapter 79 - Do Good Deeds Without Seeking Credit

The Ji family members at the dining table were stunned. Ji Lingchen, who had always been a neat freak, had actually taken the initiative to put food in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s bowl. Meanwhile, Fang Xiaonuan kept her head lowered and tried to make herself scarce. Ji Lingchen did not take everyone¡¯s surprise to heart. Seeing that his little wife was about to finish eating, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you and Ji Wen to schoolter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately refused. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need.¡± Ji Lingchen tilted his head slightly and looked down at his wife. ¡°Do you know how to drive? If you don¡¯t want me to send you, I¡¯ll pick up a car today so that you can drive yourself to and from school in the future.¡± Ji Wen raised his hand, unable to see clearly. ¡°Uncle, I know how to drive.¡± Ji Lingchen swept a cold nce at his nephew who had just interrupted him. Seeing that the situation was not right, Feng Qi immediately pulled her son¡¯s raised hand down. ¡°Lingchen, Xiaowen doesn¡¯t want a car. You can just buy one for Nuannuan. He has one.¡± Ji Wen was frightened by his uncle¡¯s gaze, so he continued to eat quietly. Fang Xiaonuan could feel the difference in how Ji Lingchen was treating her. ¡°I have one, but I don¡¯t dare to go on the road.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you some other day.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to learn. I¡¯m nervous about learning how to drive from you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan still had her head lowered. She was avoiding Ji Lingchen¡¯s burning gaze. When he said this, Ji Lingchen¡¯s face showed a rare smile. ¡°You¡¯re nervous about learning how to drive from your husband? No one else in this world can teach you how to drive better than I can. No one else can take you on the road.¡± Old Master Ji simply put down his chopsticks and kept his eyes on Ji Lingchen. He wanted to know how Fang Xiaonuan had changed his second son into a different person. Wasn¡¯t he usually cold to everyone? What about his mysophobia? What about his insufferable arrogance and temper? After breakfast, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen took the same car to school. The driver was the family¡¯s chauffeur. Ji Lingchen watched the car disappear before he drove off. Feng Qi quietly tugged at Mayor Ji¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Hubby, did you notice anything?¡± Mayor Ji looked at his brother¡¯s departing back and nodded. ¡°Lingchen has changed. He¡¯s not so cold anymore.¡± ¡­ As soon as she entered the schoolpound, Fang Xiaonuan learned that she had been ndered by Gao Qianqian. She had yet to gather her strength to deal with her, but Gao Qianqian¡¯s various ndering posts had already taken over the school forum¡¯s homepage by the afternoon, and their poprity had not subsided for a long time. Gao Qianqian had found someone to nder Fang Xiaonuan. She had only posted Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s chat records with a certain senior, as well as the stic surgery hospital¡¯s personal confession, which had greatly damaged Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s reputation. Photos could be faked, but videos could not. Now, there were scandalous videos on the school forum featuring Gao Qianqian. She was the one who had stic surgery, and she was also the one who had gotten close to the senior. There was even a video of her going to a nightclub. The whole thing was uncensored. All of a sudden, Gao Qianqian¡¯s reputation plummeted. She went to Fang Xiaonuan and used, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯re the one who framed me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was in the ssroom watching Gao Qianqian¡¯s videos with Liu Siyu. Shepletely ignored Gao Qianqian. Seeing this, Ji Wen got someone to ¡°invite¡± her out. Not long after, the topic of Fang Xiaonuan was brought to the top again on the school forum. It showed pictures of Fang Xiaonuan growing up. Then, the hospital doctor who had spread the rumor that she had undergone stic surgery was arrested. It was said that the mistress had sent awyer¡¯s letter in her name. The other party was frightened and immediately went to the school forum to apologize and exin what had happened. When the three of them saw this news, they fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan had never thought of using awyer¡¯s letter! Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, did you really only find out about this morning?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. She asked her best friend, ¡°Siyu, did you ask your brother to help me settle this matter?¡± Liu Siyu shook his head. ¡°We even went to the toilet together today. You¡¯d know if I had. Besides, I don¡¯t tend to do good deeds without taking credit. Who did it then?¡± Ji Wen suddenly eximed, ¡°I know who did it!¡± The two besties looked at him at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Was it you?¡± Ji Wen shook his head. ¡°It was my uncle. I went to look for youst night. You were asleep, so my uncle brought me to his study. I told him about it. The only one who can do such a thing is my uncle. Most people wouldn¡¯t be able to find such an obscure video, let alone send awyer¡¯s letter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was so shocked that she could not speak. Liu Siyu looked at her good friend with fear in her eyes. ¡°Xiaonuan! What did you do to make Ji Lingchen fall so hard for you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not believe it. She said, ¡°Impossible. Ji Lingchen has a lot of work to do at thepany. How would he have time to deal with such a small issue like mine?¡± Chapter 80 - t Was Your Man Who Did It

Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Then who did it? He handled it so perfectly in such a short time. Not only did he punish Gao Qianqian, he even cleared your name.¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment. ¡°Maybe it was my parents. Maybe they happened to be on the school forumst night and saw that someone was ndering me, so they acted.¡± No matter how many excuses Fang Xiaonuan could think of, Liu Siyu and Ji Wen firmly believed that Ji Lingchen was the one who did it. In the end, shepromised and said to the two of them, ¡°Fine! Fine! I¡¯ll go back and ask Ji Lingchen about it.¡± Ji Wen and Liu Siyu nodded heavily. ¡°Yes, yes, yes, it was your man who did it!¡± That night, Ji Lingchen got off work. Fang Xiaonuan sat under the eaves of the door and waited for him obediently. Ji Lingchen¡¯s car stopped at the door. He got out of the car, and when Fang Xiaonuan saw him, she got up and walked towards him. ¡°Ji Lingchen¡­ No, hubby. You¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She did not know how to say it. In the afternoon, she called her parents and realized that they did not know anything about what had been happening to her at school. This matter was undoubtedly resolved by Ji Lingchen. He treated her well for no reason. When she was waiting for him just now, she could not help but let her imagination run wild. When she thought of her good friend saying that Ji Lingchen liked her, she recalled what she had done to make Ji Lingchen fall in love with her. However, when she thought about it, she realized that since she married into the family, all she had cared about was fighting. She had also angered everyone and did not do anything to leave a good impression. Then, he definitely did not like her. However, she thought of the muddled kissst night. She had nodded her headst night to lie to Ji Lingchen. She really did not know why. Fang Xiaonuan was the kind of person who would not understand if you did not make it clear. Sometimes, she even thought that she was narcissistic. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ji Lingchen got out and locked the car. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan dotingly. Then, he reached out and put his arm around Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s shoulder as he walked into the house. ¡°Have you eaten?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you.¡± The corners of Ji Lingchen¡¯s mouth curled up in a happy smile. ¡°You don¡¯t have to wait for me next time. Sometimes, I work overtime.¡± Ji Wen was lying on the sofa. When he saw Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuane back together, he mouthed to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Did you ask?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to say it.¡± Ji Wen continued to mouth, ¡°Why are you so useless?¡± Fang Xiaonuan stole a nce at the man next to her. She signaled Ji Wen with her eyes, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask?¡± Before she could receive Ji Wen¡¯s mouthed response, Ji Lingchen suddenly intercepted the two of them, blocking theirmunication. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Xiaowen¡¯s eye disease hasn¡¯t recovered. Don¡¯t look him in the eye. You might get infected.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not realize that her husband was also great at picking on people. She replied and was dragged to the dining room to eat. In the dining room, servants were waiting. She was not alone with Ji Lingchen. Fang Xiaonuan was even more embarrassed to ask. She could only wait until they returned to the bedroom. Only when the two of them were alone did she feel it was appropriate to ask. Ji Lingchen also sensed that his wife had something to say to him. So, he grabbed her wrist and went upstairs early after dinner. When they were alone in the bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan felt awkward again. ¡°That¡­ Hubby, about the matter that Ji Wen came to talk to you aboutst night, you¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan stammered. Ji Lingchen directly interrupted her embarrassment. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be nervous when talking to me. We¡¯re husband and wife. If you have something to say, just say it. There¡¯s no need to think so much.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Since he had already said so, she did not hesitate to ask directly, ¡°Were you responsible for retaliating against Gao Qianqian?¡± ¡°I was the one who instructed my men to do it,¡± Ji Lingchen admitted openly. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth was wide open in surprise. She grabbed Ji Lingchen¡¯s white shirt with both hands. ¡°It was really you? Why do you have a photo of me from before?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Who else could it be? As for your photo, why don¡¯t you call your dad and ask him? He¡¯ll have everything.¡± ¡°But I called my dad in the afternoon and asked him. My parents said they didn¡¯t know anything about what happened to me at school.¡± Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip. She sounded a little coquettish when she spoke to Ji Lingchen. ¡°When I called my parents in the afternoon, I thought they did it.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled. He pointed at his wife¡¯s forehead with his index finger. ¡°I only asked your family for the photos of you from your younger days. I didn¡¯t tell them what I¡¯d use them for, so your parents didn¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Hubby, do you know who Gao Qianqian is?¡± Fang Xiaonuan probed carefully. Chapter 81 - Our Relationship Isn’t Normal

Ji Lingchen shook his head. ¡°No matter who she is, does she have the same status as my wife?¡± ¡°Of course not. My husband is the king of the business world.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had unknowingly gotten closer to Ji Lingchen, so she was no longer as reserved. Instead, she started to gossip with Ji Lingchen, ¡°She is Lin Rou¡¯sckey. Wasn¡¯t Lin Rou your suitor?¡± ¡°She had wishful thinking. I¡¯m a married man. Why would I need a suitor? If you feel unhappy, you can go and provoke her. I¡¯ll definitely stand with you. If you can¡¯t, I can go with you,¡± Ji Lingchen blurted out without thinking. Fang Xiaonuan smiled. The smile reached her eyes. This feeling of being protected by someone in the open and in the dark was really good. ¡°Hubby, isn¡¯t it bad for me to go and provoke her? People will think that I¡¯m unreasonable.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Your husband is Ji Lingchen. Of course, you have the right to be unreasonable.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s smile became even more charming. She and Ji Lingchen looked at each other. ¡°Hubby, why are you suddenly so good to me?¡± ¡°Do I need a reason to be good to my wife?¡± Ji Lingchen asked back. Fang Xiaonuan said somewhat dejectedly, ¡°Just because I¡¯m your wife? Is there any other reason?¡± Ji Lingchen did not understand the answer the woman wanted. ¡°What reason do you want to hear?¡± After he said this, the smile on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face immediately disappeared. ¡°Thank you for what you did for me today. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± Ji Lingchen felt that his wife was originally very happy, but after he asked thest question, her expression had immediately changed, and she found an excuse to leave. The man did not understand. Could it be that he said something wrong? Fang Xiaonuan, who made an excuse to go to the bathroom, was very disappointed. In the past two days, Ji Wen and Siyu had told her that Ji Lingchen liked her and she somewhat believed it. But just now, she had asked him herself. The reason why Ji Lingchen was good to her was only that she was his wife. There was no other reason at all. It was only because she was his wife. If it was someone else who married him, then he would also use these benefits to help them. Thinking of this, Fang Xiaonuan sighed dejectedly. ¡°You don¡¯t even know what¡¯s real, so why are you daydreaming!¡± Because Fang Xiaonuan had something on her mind, she took a long bath. The clueless man outside almost went into the bathroom to fish her out. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll be out in a moment.¡± She wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Without raising her head, she said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°Go take a bath.¡± Ji Lingchen saw the droplets of water on her body, and then looked at her flushed cheeks from the long bath. ¡°Did you fall asleep in there?¡± ¡°No, I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I lost track of time.¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan took out the hairdryer and went to the dressing table tob her hair. Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was sulking, but he did not voice his doubts. Instead, he walked into the bathroom to take a shower. By the time he finished showering and left the bathroom, Fang Xiaonuan was already lying on the bed. ¡°Xiaonuan, are you angry?¡± Ji Lingchen voiced the doubts in his heart. Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Ah? What would I be angry about?¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. He must have thought too much. He lifted the nket, took a book from the bedside, and went to read in bed. Fang Xiaonuan was lying beside him, feeling a little ufortable. Her eyes were blurry as she looked at her phone. The man naturally noticed her difort. He closed the curtains and confiscated Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s phone. ¡°Stop ying. Go to sleep.¡± Ji Lingchen turned over again. He reached past Fang Xiaonuan to turn off the bedsidemp. In the end, only themp beside him remained. Then, he did not lie down properly. Instead, he supported his body with his elbows as he looked down at his young wife. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s nervous heart was in her throat. The experience fromst night surfaced in her mind. Then, Ji Lingchen leaned over and kissed her. After a moment, he reluctantly stopped and said, ¡°Go to sleep!¡± Fang Xiaonuanined softly, ¡°You kissed me again¡­¡± Ji Lingchen smiled. He reached out and let Fang Xiaonuan lie on his arm. He pulled her into his arms and tucked her in. His goal was to get Fang Xiaonuan closer to him. ¡°Then do you want to kiss me back?¡± Ji Lingchen whispered into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ear. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and shyly crawled under the nket. Ji Lingchen lifted her up and let her face rest on his chest. ¡°Ji Lingchen, our rtionship is not normal,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchenughed. The bedroom was very quiet. His voice was clear. ¡°In ancient times, weren¡¯t all marriages just like ours?¡± Chapter 82 - You’re So Heavy

Fang Xiaonuan whispered very quietly, ¡°But we live in a modern society.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m old-fashioned.¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not figure out if this was Ji Lingchen¡¯s way of expressing his feelings. She felt the warmth in his arms and subconsciously moved closer to him. She narrowed her eyes, mustered up her courage, and asked Ji Lingchen, ¡°Hubby, if you had married another woman, would you be hugging another woman like this and saying these words now?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He had been pretending to be asleep, but now his eyes suddenly opened. He understood why his wife was so angry just now. She cared if he would be nice to another person. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Call me hubby, and I¡¯ll tell you.¡± ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan called sweetly. The next second, her chin was lifted, and the man¡¯s lips were on hers again. She felt his desire on her lips. Thanks to her previous experience, Fang Xiaonuan knew what to do. She ced her hand on the man¡¯s shoulder and did not push him away, nor did she take the initiative to go further. Ji Lingchen¡¯s body was pressed against Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s. When she felt his weight on her, Fang Xiaonuan tried to breathe more smoothly. She could only breathe through her nose and mouth, but the man¡¯s lips were still on hers. She could only push the man away. Her eyes were full of annoyance. ¡°You¡¯re so heavy!¡± Ji Lingchen answered his wife¡¯s question. ¡°If it were someone else, I wouldn¡¯t do all this. I¡¯d only do this for you.¡± When he finished saying that, Fang Xiaonuan forgot that his weight was still on her. She stared nkly at the man above her. In the next second, Ji Lingchen¡¯s weight left her. He turned off the tablemp on his side and hugged his wife to sleep. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind was still spinning. After an unknown amount of time, she finally fell asleep. In the night, Ji Lingchen heard the rhythm of his wife¡¯s breathing be peaceful. He slowly pulled his arm out from under her neck. Then, he lifted a corner of the nket and carefully got out of bed. He was about to go to the study to work overtime when he looked at his sleeping wife again. She was sleeping soundly, making him feel that the years would pass peacefully. ¡­ When she found out that Ji Lingchen was the one who had helped her, Fang Xiaonuan was in a great mood. She said to Ji Wen and Liu Siyu, ¡°If it was someone else who helped me, I would have to thank them properly. Now that I know that it was my husband who helped me, I don¡¯t need to thank the person who helped me anymore.¡± Liu Siyu joked with her friend, ¡°Who was the one who argued with reason yesterday and didn¡¯t believe what I said to Xiaowen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. ¡°Someone didn¡¯t believe you? I don¡¯t see anyone like that! Siyu, is your memory messed up?¡± Ji Wen pointed at Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°D*mn you. You were still arguing yesterday, but today it¡¯s over. Shame on you!¡± Fang Xiaonuan took her bag and smashed it on Ji Wen¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re finished. How dare you scold your aunt? Just wait for me to get home today and tell my husband to teach you a lesson.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk tsk! Poor Xiaowen. The two people he¡¯s most afraid of in his life have be husband and wife, and he¡¯s their nephew. He can¡¯t hide from them. I can just imagine what his future will look like. I can¡¯t bear to look at him!¡± Ji Wen pointed at Liu Siyu. ¡°Liu Siyu, d*mn you, you¡¯re not a good person either!¡± Liu Siyu did not spoil Ji Wen. She also took her schoolbag and smashed it at Ji Wen¡¯s head. ¡°How can you talk to your elders? I¡¯m your aunt¡¯s best friend. ording to seniority, you have to call me aunt too.¡± Ji Wen, who had been hit twice, was terrified. He picked up three schoolbags and followed behind the two tigresses. Gao Qianqian¡¯s scandal had already made it impossible for her to turn things around. Gao Qianqian had be the topic of conversation for most people in the school. Her peers avoided her like the gue. Gao Qianqian, Fang Xiaonuan, and the others had been schoolmates in high school. When they were in high school, Fang Xiaonuan had been liked by many people. Many boys had written love letters to Fang Xiaonuan. At that time, the school did not allow any jokes to be made during the selection, fearing that the students wouldpare themselves. At that time, Gao Qianqian had won many suitors with her gentle personality that she had pretended to have. Therefore, in her heart, she had always felt that she could measure up to Fang Xiaonuan. During her freshman year, the freshmen could not participate in the selection of the school belle. However, Fang Xiaonuan had already be famous at that time because when she came to register for university, her family had driven a Rolls-Royce Phantom to school. At once, everyone realized that she was very rich. Chapter 83 - Not Smart Enough

Chapter 83: Not Smart Enough

Later, when she saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face, she became a little famous in her first year. At one point, everyone secretly acknowledged her as the school belle. At that time, Gao Qianqian did not take it to heart. To her, the school belle was a title that gained nothing more than envy, jealousy, and hatred. But this time, she was several thousand votes behind Fang Xiaonuan in the school belle evaluation and got second ce. She was already jealous, but Lin Rou looked down on her and riled her up. Thus, she bribed the doctor to find someone to defame Fang Xiaonuan. She did not expect that she would be a joke in the end. Now, Gao Qianqian¡¯s second-ce spot in the school beauty rankings had already fallen again and again, until she dropped out of the running altogether. Gao Qianqian could only seek Lin Rou¡¯s help. Lin Rou was expressionless and did not want to interfere. ¡°You¡¯re just so useless. What does it have to do with me? I never care about brainless people.¡± Lin Rou thought that Gao Qianqian would be her ¡®weapon¡¯. In school, she could make things difficult for Fang Xiaonuan. From the looks of it, Gao Qianqian¡¯s IQ was not enough. ¡°Rou¡¯er, our families are on good terms, so please help me! In the end, you yed a part in this matter. If you hadn¡¯t provoked me that day, I wouldn¡¯t have been so impulsive.¡± Gao Qianqian absolutely did not dare to talk to Lin Rou like that. She had been forced into a corner. ¡°Do you know who Fang Xiaonuan is?¡± Lin Rou seemed emotionless. Her tone was calm, but it gave off a sinister feeling. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but her family is quite rich.¡± This was the only impression Gao Qianqian had of Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Didn¡¯t anyone tell you to investigate her background if you wanted to teach her a lesson? She married Ji Lingchen this year. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you, but Ji Lingchen was the one who acted.¡± Lin Rou was trying tofort Gao Qianqian. This useless chess piece would be useful in the future. Gao Qianqian was very shocked. She actually did not know about such a huge factor. What sort of man was Ji Lingchen! Lin Rou clearly understood Ji Lingchen¡¯s methods. He was using his own methods to deal with her. So, it was not hard to see that Ji Lingchen was the one who made the move. Gao Qianqian said, ¡°Rou¡¯er, why did she marry CEO Ji? Aren¡¯t you the woman who has always been by his side?¡± This question wounded Lin Rou. She had been by Ji Lingchen¡¯s side for more than ten years. If he had even the slightest interest in her, she would have had the chance to marry into the Ji family. However, he was just like a block of wood in terms of feelings. Old Master Ji had always been on guard against her, as if he had forgotten what had happened in the past. When she spoke about what had happened in the past, Old Master Ji would make it very clear that the Ji family had long since returned the favor. Now, Lin Rou was not allowed near the Ji family thank to Old Master Ji. She once went to look for Feng Qi, but for some reason, Feng Qi kept avoiding her. She either said she was sick or made other excuses. This made it very hard to learn about the current situation in the Ji family, as well as Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s cing in the Ji family. Now, Ji Lingchen had interfered with Gao Qianqian over a small matter, making Lin Rou even more uncertain. ¡°You can only admit defeat once and find an opportunity to do something good to cover up the bad news. Next year, you canpete with her again.¡± ¡°Rou¡¯er, I¡¯m not up to it.¡± ¡°Even if you¡¯re not up to it, you have to swallow your anger. You did those things. The one who retaliated was Ji Lingchen. He¡¯s someone we can¡¯t offend.¡± Lin Rou did not understand the internal affairs of the Ji family. She was still clear about the school¡¯s affairs. She asked, ¡°Ji Wen is also in the same ss as Fang Xiaonuan, right?¡± ¡°Yes, he is Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little follower. He is despicable,¡± Gao Qianqian answered truthfully. ¡°Shut up, idiot. Do you know who Ji Wen is? He is Mayor Ji¡¯s son, Ji Lingchen¡¯s nephew!¡± Lin Rou red at Gao Qianqian and rebuked her. ¡°What? Isn¡¯t he just an ordinary son of an official?¡± Gao Qianqian was even more surprised. ¡°Did you just say that Ji Wen is Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s sidekick? Are they very close?¡± Lin Rou asked again. Gao Qianqian answered defenseless, ¡°Very close. Fang Xiaonuan has three best friends. One is a handsome college student, but he left this year after studying abroad. The other is a youngdy from a police family. They are inseparable, and Ji Wen is closest to her after that.¡± Lin Rou had never thought that things would develop to this point. ¡°Qianqian, in the future, you can tell me anything about Fang Xiaonuan at school. This time, I¡¯ll take revenge for you.¡± That day, when Feng Qi was putting on her face mask at home, Lin Rou called again. These days, she often invited Feng Qi out to meet her, saying that they could go shopping together to unwind. ¡°Sister-inw, it¡¯s not good for you to be bored at home. Besides, seeing Fang Xiaonuan all the time must be unpleasant. If you¡¯re unhappy, you¡¯ll get wrinkles. Let¡¯s go out for a beauty treatment and cheer you up.¡± Chapter 84 - How Could I Be Old and Muddle-headed?

Feng Qi once again tactfully refused. ¡°At this age, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? When you reach my age, perhaps you¡¯ll have more wrinkles on your face than I do.¡± Lin Rou felt a little awkward after hearing this, but she still continued to say in a friendly manner, ¡°Sister-inw, even if you don¡¯t like seeing me, you should at least go and see your son Xiaowen! I heard that their school is going to hold some kind of activity for parents. My close friend even said that Ji Wen has a chance to be an image ambassador!¡± Feng Qi took off the mask on her face. She said expressionlessly, ¡°I see my son every day. Also, my son told me that he won¡¯t participate in the image ambassador selection activity that you mentioned. It will dy his studies too much. If you are interested in this, you can go and see for yourself.¡± Hearing that Feng Qi still did not want to see her, Lin Rou could not help but voice her doubts, ¡°Sister-inw, what¡¯s up with you recently? Why are you avoiding me?¡± Feng Qi was already being nice enough to answer Lin Rou¡¯s calls. Ever since she found out that she was used by Lin Rou, she felt that meeting her would be humiliating. Thus, she never epted her invitations. ¡°Why should I hide from you? Speaking of hiding, you should hide from me. After all, only those who have done something wrong will be tempted to hide.¡± Feng Qi¡¯s ability to rebuke others had be better and better. When Lin Rou heard Feng Qi¡¯s words, she waspletely dumbfounded. She could hear that Feng Qi¡¯s hostility toward her was unusually great. What exactly had gone wrong? Hadn¡¯t Feng Qi been arguing with Fang Xiaonuan a while ago? But now, she did not mention Fang Xiaonuan at all. Instead, she was mocking her. ¡°Sister-inw, are we having some sort of misunderstanding? Or did someone provoke you? If there¡¯s anything you want to tell me, you can say it.¡± Lin Rou did not understand, so she could only try to probe her. Feng Qi looked at the mask in the mirror. ¡°If I was provoked once, it was because someone took advantage of my weakness. I was stupid. But I will never give a second chance to those who want to provoke me.¡± Just then, Fang Xiaonuan came to give Feng Qi a gift. ¡°Sister-inw, are you there? I have something for you.¡± Feng Qi got up and opened the door for Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Yes, I just put on the mask that Ji Wen brought back for me. It¡¯s quite effective. You¡¯re here just in time. Take some and try it out.¡± ¡°No need, I still have a lot of things that I don¡¯t need! Here, this is for you. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Fang Xiaonuan put down the gift and ran back to her bedroom. She and her sister-inw did not know each other well. She had been married to the Ji family for so long, but she had never given her any gifts. Thus, she went to buy a set of clothes for her sister-inw. Feng Qi did not hang up the phone. She deliberately let Lin Rou hear Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice. On the other end of the phone, Lin Rou was holding the phone with one hand. Her other hand was clenched into a fist. Her fingernails dug into her palm, leaving a deep mark. ¡°Lin Rou, you are a smart person. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have been used by you. You heard it just now. Xiaonuan and I are getting along very well now. Some people aren¡¯t born into the Ji family. Xiaonuan is a very simple girl, but she has a short temper. But right now, I like her short temper.¡± Feng Qi started unwrapping the present that Fang Xiaonuan gave her. At the same time, she exined everything to Lin Rou. After saying that, Feng Qi hung up. She wanted Lin Rou to understand her situation so that she would not have to do anything to him. At night, Feng Qi even warned his son, ¡°In the future, protect Xiaonuan at school. You¡¯re a big man now. Not only do you have to learn how to distinguish right from wrong, but you also have to do something about it. Also, if that Lin Rou girl tries to get close to you, you have to stay far away from her. That woman is too cunning. You won¡¯t even know if you step into a trap she has set for you.¡± Feng Qi was afraid that Lin Rou would target her son. Thus, she he had to inform her son first. Ji Wen said, ¡°I know, I know. Lin Rou, isn¡¯t it? That woman is a scheming b*tch. I knew it long ago. Previously, you were the only one in our family who thought that she was a good person. You even wanted her to marry my uncle. Even my grandfather, that old muddle-headed man, knew that she wasn¡¯t a good person. You were the only one who made friends with her. Also, Fang Xiaonuan can protect herself in school. With that hot temper of hers, it¡¯s already good enough that she doesn¡¯t bully others.¡± Feng Qi did not refute her son¡¯s words. She also felt waves of regret in her heart. It was all her fault for not being able to recognize people¡¯s true nature clearly in the beginning. Fortunately, the misunderstanding had been cleared up now, and her rtionship with Fang Xiaonuan had improved a lot. Old Master Ji, who was nearby, was not too happy to hear Ji Wen¡¯s words. ¡°How am I old and muddle-headed? How could I be old and muddle-headed when I arranged such a good marriage for your uncle?¡± Chapter 85 - Adults Don’t Eat Ice Cream in the Summer

Ji Wen pointed at Fang Xiaonuan, who was eating some watermelon, and lectured his biological grandfather. ¡°Grandfather, you can¡¯t judge a person just by their appearance. Fang Xiaonuan is a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. She has a sweet and cute appearance on the outside, but underneath, she hides her violent and terrifying personality.¡± Ji Wen summarized, thinking of his childhood nightmares. Fang Xiaonuan used a toothpick to pick up another piece of watermelon. As she ate, she listened to Ji Wen¡¯s usations against her. Indeed, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but¡­ no one believed him! In her husband¡¯s heart, she was soft and cute, but she had a mouth that caused trouble. In her sister-inw¡¯s heart, she was naive, straightforward, and sincere. In her father-inw¡¯s heart, she was filial, sensible, and lively. Old Master Ji refuted Ji Wen¡¯s words. ¡°That¡¯s nonsense.¡± Ji Wen felt very wronged, and no one believed what he said. ¡°Grandpa, what I said is true!¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°If you say one more word about your aunt, your uncle will teach you a lesson!¡± Ji Wen looked at the man next to Fang Xiaonuan. He saw that Ji Lingchen, who had always been cold and unreasonable, was now taking the initiative to take a grape from the fruit te on the table and feed it to his wife. He even asked gently, ¡°Is it sweet?¡± ¡°Yes, sweeter than the watermelon.¡± Ji Wen, who knew Ji Lingchen very well, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. He pointed at Fang Xiaonuan and scolded angrily, ¡°Uncle, she¡¯s actually a violent maniac who often hits people.¡± His uncle did not believe him. So what if she did? Ji Wen continued to point at Fang Xiaonuan and said to his mother, ¡°Really? She really knows how to hit people. Have you forgotten that the two of you have even fought before?¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°I also know how to hit people. What¡¯s the problem?¡± Ji Wen looked at his grandfather again. Old Master Ji was still holding a grudge about his broken blue and white porcin vase. He turned away arrogantly, not looking at his grandson. Ji Wen said, ¡°D*mn, none of you believe me! This is unjust!¡± Everyone thought to themselves, ¡®You can¡¯t be trusted.¡¯ Later, when they went to sleep, Ji Wen bumped into Fang Xiaonuan in the corridor. He pointed at her andined, ¡°Your face has deceived countless people. Now, even my extremely smart uncle has been deceived by you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pointed at her innocent and cute little face and said confidently, ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can do about it. It¡¯s an innate factor. Being able to deceive others is also my advantage.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°You¡¯re really shameless.¡± ¡°Hubby, Xiaowen is scolding me.¡± Fang Xiaonuanined to the air behind Ji Wen. When Ji Wen heard that, he did not even dare to look at her and ran away in fright. Fang Xiaonuan said proudly, ¡°After I¡¯m done with you, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson. All I need to do is shout at the air and say hubby.¡± ¡°Shouting at the person involved will double the effect.¡± Ji Lingchen had suddenly appeared beside Fang Xiaonuan and spoke with a smile. Fang Xiaonuan was shocked. ¡°Why did you suddenly appear? Don¡¯t you know that people can be scared to death!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Someoneined to me. I came out when I heard it. Do You need your hubby to exact revenge for you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°Forget it! We¡¯ll give Xiaowen a break.¡± No one in the Ji family believed his honest words. Fang Xiaonuan believed him, but she could not admit it. To be honest, she felt sorry for Ji Wen. Fang Xiaonuan did not realize that her status in the Ji family had risen. It was a big weekend, and Ji Lingchen rarely stayed at home to spend time with his family. Everyone knew that he was spending time with a certain someone. However, a certain someone did not take it seriously. It was noon, and Fang Xiaonuan was fanning herself with her small hands. ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s so hot in the summer. How do you guys usually deal with it?¡± Ji Lingchen heard his wife¡¯s words and thought that she wanted to go out, so he said arrogantly, ¡°I¡¯ll buy you a vi. We¡¯ll go there to deal with the summer. How about that?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth twitched. He was so arrogant. ¡°There¡¯s no need to buy a vi, but you can buy something else. For example, ice cream.¡± Ji Lingchen saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s charming smile, and he unconsciously immersed himself in her smile. Without thinking, he immediately agreed. Ji Lingchen even took on the role of a driver and personally drove his wife out to an ice cream store. Along the way, Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up. Seeing this, Fang Xiaonuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, ¡°Hubby, why are you smiling?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I never thought that I would bring a child out to buy ice cream.¡± Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue and retorted, ¡°I¡¯m not a child.¡± Ji Lingchen nced sideways. He held onto the steering wheel with one hand and extended his right hand to stroke the back of his wife¡¯s head. ¡°You¡¯re not a child?

¡°Then, you¡¯re saying that you married a child!¡± Then, the person he kissed at night was also a child. If she was a child, how could he have the nerve to say it? Fang Xiaonuan did not say thest part out loud. She only dared to think about it in her heart. Ji Lingchen¡¯s smile didn¡¯t diminish. Heughed out loud. ¡°I hope you¡¯ll always be my little girl.¡± When they reached the location that Fang Xiaonuan had specified, she got close to the owner the moment she got out of the car. ¡°Mr. Zhang, do you still have the crispy rolls that I like to eat?¡± The man who was called Mr. Zhang walked out and said to Fang Xiaonuan with a smile, ¡°There are still quite a number of them! This year, there are a few more vors of crispy rolls. I know that you like them, so I bought all of them.¡± After saying that, the man opened the fridge and let Fang Xiaonuan choose. Fang Xiaonuan saw the cold air drift out of the fridge and was very happy. This summer was so hot that she just wanted to get in. Ji Lingchen naturally saw the girl¡¯s undisguised excitement. He hurriedly grabbed the girl¡¯s arm. ¡°You want to go in?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nced at Ji Lingchen and nodded frantically. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Do you dare to jump in?¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged Ji Lingchen¡¯s arm coquettishly. ¡°Well, I¡¯m not stupid. The weather is so hot. I¡¯m just thinking about it. Besides, this fridge can¡¯t fit me!¡± Ji Lingchen, who was in the midst of falling in love, looked at the fridge. It was basically filled to the brim. He really could not let go of his little wife. He let go and felt temporarily at ease. Mr. Zhang saw Fang Xiaonuan standing next to a man he had never seen before. She was hugging his arm and acting coquettishly, so he asked curiously, ¡°Xiaonuan, whose child is this?¡± The owner of a small shop had just called the business world¡¯s emperor, Ji Lingchen, a child? Fang Xiaonuan immediately looked up at her husband. As expected, his expression had turned dark. ¡°Is this child your partner? He¡¯s quite good-looking. I hope you get along well with him.¡± The owner was a dutiful person who managed his own small business. He did not pay much attention to the matters of the upper ss, so he did not know who Ji Lingchen was. When Ji Lingchen heard what the owner said, most of his anger dissipated. He took the initiative to introduce himself to the owner. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Xiaonuan¡¯s husband.¡± ¡°Husband? Xiaonuan, you can¡¯t be serious! You didn¡¯t even tell me when you got married.¡± The owner was clearly confused and he took a moment to react. Coincidentally, the television was broadcasting the first part of Ji Lingchen¡¯s interview. ¡°Wow! Hubby, you¡¯re on TV! Mr. Zhang, I got married during the summer vacation. I didn¡¯t tell you about the quick marriage.¡± Mr. Zhang turned to look at the television. This was a big deal. He had no idea that the man he called ¡®a child¡¯ just now was actually the king of the business world! ¡°Xiaonuan is a very good girl. You must live a good life together. I wish you both a happy marriage! Have a baby soon.¡± Mr. Zhang was a little excited. He had never thought that his little shop would be able to serve such a big shot one day. A smile appeared on Ji Lingchen¡¯s face once again. He epted the owner¡¯s well wishes. ¡°We got married in a hurry and didn¡¯t inform you. In the future, when our children celebrate their birthdays, we will definitely invite you.¡± ¡°Ahem¡­ ahem¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was enjoying eating ice cream, heard this, and immediately choked. Have a child? She would give birth to Ji Lingchen¡¯s child? Impossible, absolutely impossible! She could never picture holding a chubby son that she had given birth to. Her face was filled with disbelief. However, this was all in the future. After buying arge amount of ice cream in the shop and leaving, Fang Xiaonuan realized that Mr. Zhang had secretly stuffed a red packet into her hands. She had found it on the way home while secretly eating ice cream. Mr. Zhang and his wife¡¯s names were on the back of the red packet. Fang Xiaonuan held the red packet in her hands, not knowing what to do. She looked at the man who was focused on driving. ¡°Hubby, what should we do?¡± Ji Lingchen nced at it. ¡°Take it! It¡¯s a blessing for us. Send Mr. Zhang a message to express your gratitudeter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan listened to her husband¡¯s suggestion and put the red packet into her bag. On the way home, Ji Lingchen asked her, ¡°Are you close to this Mr. Zhang?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes, we¡¯re very close. Even Ji Wen knows about our rtionship.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was afraid that her husband would be angry, so she looked at her husband. However, the man who was driving seriously was expressionless. Fang Xiaonuan did not know whether he was angry or not. She took the initiative to exin. ¡°We were neighbors with Mr. Zhang when I was young. At that time, my parents were working very often. Theirpany was in the start-up period. They woulde home veryte every day. The caretaker who was responsible for taking care of my brother and I woulde in the evening.

Fang Xiaonuan spoke as she looked at Ji Lingchen¡¯s face. She realized that he was still expressionless, so she could not guess what he was thinking. She continued to exin, ¡°Later, my parents¡¯ business gradually expanded, so we moved. But every summer, my parents would drive me to Mr. Zhang¡¯s house for wholesale ice cream. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu also know about this ce. After all, when Ji Wen did my homework for me, I couldn¡¯t have him do it under my parents¡¯ noses. I would bring them to Mr. Zhang¡¯s shop. I would treat Ji Wen to ice cream, and he would do my homework for me. This year, before I went to visit Mr. Zhang, your father suddenly came to my house to propose our marriage. My family was in no mood to eat ice cream, so they did note to buy it. A summer without ice cream is iplete. I always felt that something was missing, so I brought you today!¡± The truth made Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression return to a gentle one. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you have any other underlings in school?¡± ¡°One is enough. I can¡¯t control too many,¡± Fang Xiaonuan answered truthfully. Upon hearing that, Ji Lingchen was relieved. ¡°You¡¯re right. Management is not a simple thing. Xiaowen alone is enough.¡± Fang Xiaonuan agreed with her husband¡¯s words. A person¡¯s potential was limitless. Under pressure, Ji Wen had already taken care of everything that an underling should do. There was no need for others to do it. ¡°Hubby, I didn¡¯t dare to tell you that Ji Wen was my little brother before because I was afraid that you would get angry that I bullied your nephew. I thought you would avenge him by bullying me.¡± ¡°Did I bully you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She looked at her husband¡¯s side profile and found him very attractive. ¡°No, hubby, you¡¯ve always been on my side.¡± Ji Lingchen turned his face, and the infatuated look in his wife¡¯s eyes caught his attention. Fang Xiaonuan shyly dodged his gaze, and the atmosphere in the car became tender. Ji Lingchen drove, a gentle smile ying on the corners of his lips. The girl sitting in the passenger seat was shy, and her cheeks were flushed. Only when the car slowly drove into the house did Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s shyness ease. She shouted in the courtyard, ¡°Ji Wen,e out and help your uncle carry the ice cream!¡± Ji Wen walked out unsteadily in his slippers. When he saw Ji Lingchen carrying a white insted box, he immediately went forward. ¡°Uncle, how much did you buy!¡± Ji Lingchen handed the small box to Ji Wen. He carried more than one box of ice cream into the house. ¡°Xiaonuan, close the trunk.¡± ¡°Got it, hubby.¡± Fang Xiaonuan happily closed the trunk. She ran into the living room of the old residence and pulled out the entire lower level of the refrigerator. Unfortunately, she found that it was filled with seafood. Old Master Ji noticed the disappointment on his daughter-inw¡¯s face. He instructed the servant, ¡°Empty the lower level of the refrigerator for the second madam.¡± The servant asked, ¡°Master, what about the seafood?¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°We can cook it and eat it tonight.¡± The servant said, ¡°Master, this is too much. I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to finish it.¡± Old Master Ji said decisively, ¡°If we can¡¯t finish it, then throw it away. Why did you even buy so much back then? Wouldn¡¯t you buy ording to how much we eat especially if the fridge is already full? It would still be fresh that way.¡± Hearing this, the maid shut her mouth. The master was simply asking for the second young madam to put in the ice cream, so she could only do as he said. Fang Xiaonuan looked at Old Master Ji and was very touched. ¡°Dad, you¡¯re simply too good to me.¡± Old Master Ji had a proud look on his face as he walked past Fang Xiaonuan with his walking stick. ¡®Hmph, d you¡¯re aware of it.¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan put all the ice cream into the fridge, then took out one container of ice cream that she thought was the best and ran over to give it to Old Master Ji. ¡°Dad, this is for you.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°I¡¯m not eating it. That¡¯s for kids.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯ve tried all types of ice cream. This ice cream is even better than regr ice cream. Really, Dad, if you don¡¯t believe me, try it.¡± Half an hourter, ¡°Xiaonuan, do you still have that chocte-vored ice cream? I don¡¯t think the strawberry-vored ice cream is as good as the chocte-vored ice cream.¡± After Old Master Ji tasted the ice cream, he could not help himself. On this hot summer day, the ice cream was simply too delicious. Feng Qi was alsopelled to eat three or four sticks of ice cream. ¡°Xiaonuan, I think the red bean-vored ice cream is more delicious. Do you still have more?¡± ¡°I have all of them. My husband bought a lot today. I¡¯ll go get them.¡± Fang Xiaonuan got up and walked to the fridge. Ji Wen shouted, ¡°Get me an ice cream cone while you¡¯re at it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m used to your bad habits. Come and get it yourself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s on the way anyway. Since you¡¯re my aunt, can¡¯t you get one for me?¡± Ji Wen did not move. Instead, he quickly ate the ice cream cone in his hand. It was summer! He wanted to sit under the air conditioner and just eat ice cream! Chapter 88 - Greedy

Old Master Ji ate another chocte-vored ice cream. He chewed on the crispy crust on the outside and the peanuts inside. With a crunching sound, he savored the special vor. ¡°This is still the best. It tastes good.¡± Mayor Ji just got home. When he saw his family sitting on the sofa and eating an ice cream each, he was very surprised. ¡°When did our family start eating ice cream? Howe I didn¡¯t know?¡± After saying that, Mayor Ji sat on the sofa and patted his son on the back. ¡°Did you ask for it?¡± ¡°Your son¡¯s words are useless. It was Xiaonuan who wanted to eat it. Lingchen went to buy wholesale ice cream.¡± Feng Qi did not bother about her son¡¯s reputation. Mayor Ji looked around and found that his younger brother who had changed a lot recently was not there. So, he asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Lingchen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My husband took a call after he sent me back. It seemed to be from an elder. I heard him calling the person on the phone, Mr. Wang.¡± Old Master Ji took another big bite of the ice cream. Chocte was stuck to his teeth. He added, ¡°Mr. Wang wanted to discuss the development of the south with Lingchen.¡± ¡°Big brother, what vor of ice cream do you want? I¡¯ll go get it for you,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said obediently. Mayor Ji had never eaten such a thing in his life. Now that he saw his family eating it, he wanted to try it too. ¡°Anything will do.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately stood up. She went to the freezer and took out an old popsicle, perfect for quenching thirst. She handed it to Mayor Ji and said, ¡°I think you¡¯ll like this.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s father liked to eat this old popsicle when he came home. The more social engagements he had, the better the vor. This old ice-cold popsicle was perfect! In the evening, Ji Lingchen, who was in the middle of social engagements, suddenly received a tearful phone call from his wife. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve done something wrong. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Ji Lingchen immediately cut off all the social engagements. He stood up and ran home with his phone. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. What¡¯s wrong?¡± He thought that his wife had gotten into a fight with his family again. ¡°Dad is in the hospital because of the ice cream. I¡¯m sorry, I¡­ ¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not stop crying. She regretted it to death. Ji Lingchen asked Fang Xiaonuan for her location, then drove to the hospital without stopping. He had bought his wife ice cream at noon, but something had happened in the evening. Ten minutester, Ji Lingchen rushed into the hospital. Mayor Ji and Feng Qi were in the ward with Old Master Ji for an infusion. In the corridor, Fang Xiaonuan was sitting with Ji Wen. Her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had cried just now, and there were tears on her eyshes. Seeing Ji Lingchen appear, the tears that had just stopped welled up in her eyes again. ¡°Hubby, I¡­¡± She saw that Ji Lingchen was seeking an exnation, but at that moment, she could not say it out loud. She looked at her husband, still crying. On one hand, Fang Xiaonuan was worried about Old Master Ji¡¯s health. On the other hand, she was worried that Ji Lingchen would me her and be angry with her. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He looked at his wife, who was crying non-stop in front of him. For a moment, he could not coax her. ¡°Xiaowen, stay with your aunt. I¡¯m going in to see your grandfather.¡± Ji Lingchen entrusted his wife to his nephew and pushed open the ward door. When Mayor Ji saw him, he immediately stood up and asked, ¡°Lingchen, aren¡¯t you busy? Why are you here?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his pale-faced father, who was still sleeping on the hospital bed. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. ¡°How¡¯s Dad?¡± Mayor Ji said, ¡°He received a painkiller injection and fell asleep. The doctor said that he will be discharged after a period of observation.¡± Ji Lingchen asked the two of them, ¡°Why is Xiaonuan crying?¡± Feng Qi sighed and began to exin what had happened in the afternoon. ¡°After you bought ice cream in the afternoon, Dad became addicted and ate more. Ultimately, he suffered from acute gastroenteritis in the evening. He was in so much pain that he could not eat. He vomited and had diarrhea. After the doctor¡¯s examination and after we learned that the acute gastroenteritis was caused by eating too much ice cream, Xiaonuan took the me on herself. She felt that if she had not been greedy, you wouldn¡¯t have apanied her to buy ice cream. Dad wouldn¡¯t have eaten, and he wouldn¡¯t have suffered from acute gastroenteritis.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. ¡°How much did Dad eat?¡± ¡°Just now, Xiaonuan said that he ate three sticks. I remember that too. Because when Dad wanted to continue eating, Xiaonuan was worried that his body wouldn¡¯t be able to take it and wouldn¡¯t let him eat more. At night, Xiaonuan realized that Dad¡¯s expression was not right, so she kept asking him to go to the hospital. Don¡¯t you know your own father? He was so stubborn that he refused toe to the hospital no matter how hard she tried to convince him. In the end, he fainted from the pain. Xiaonuan was scared to tears,¡± Feng Qi said honestly. Then, Feng Qi thought of her sister-inw who was sitting outside ming herself. She exined a little furthe Chapter 89 - Ji Lingchen Coaxed His Wife

¡°Lingchen, don¡¯t be angry with Xiaonuan. Your brother and I were busy with dad just now, so we didn¡¯t go out tofort Xiaonuan. After all, she is still a child. As a daughter-inw who has just joined the family, she med herself and felt sorry for what happened to her father-inw because of her greediness. Right now, she¡¯s worried that you¡¯re angry with her. You really can¡¯t me Xiaonuan for this. Don¡¯t me her. She was scared out of her wits today. Go out andfort her.¡± Feng Qi knew that she was right, and hoped he would listen to her advice, but it was up to him to decide what he would do. In the corridor outside, Fang Xiaonuan was still very anxious, and her tears could not stop flowing. Ji Wen handed her a tissue. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I don¡¯t me you for what happened to my grandfather. He¡¯s an old man in his 70s or 80s, and you can¡¯t control your cravings, right? Besides, we were all at home this afternoon and saw what happened. I really don¡¯t me you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took the tissue and sobbed. ¡°Do you think your uncle is angry with me? He ignored me just now. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± Ji Wen shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. If I understood my uncle¡¯s temper, I wouldn¡¯t have been beaten up so many times.¡± Ji Lingchen pushed open the door of the ward and came out. Fang Xiaonuan immediately stood up in shock and apologized while sobbing. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, hubby. I won¡¯t be greedy for ice cream anymore.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was slightly cold. He nced at his cautious wife. This made both of them think that Ji Lingchen was angry. Ji Wen hurriedly exined to him. ¡°Uncle, this matter really has nothing to do with her. Think about it! I wanted to eat it too. She couldn¡¯t stop me!¡± They were all exining to Ji Lingchen that this matter was not Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s fault. This made Ji Lingchen misunderstand. Did it seem like he was ming his wife for this? Ji Lingchen walked forward and wiped away the tears at the corner of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Brother and sister-inw will stay at the hospital tonight. Tomorrow night, it will be the two of us.¡± ¡°Hubby, I¡­¡± Ji Lingchen reached out to Fang Xiaonuan, pulling her into his embrace. He instructed Ji Wen, ¡°You will stay at the hospital tonight as well to help take care of your grandfather.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Alright, but uncle, please don¡¯t hit your wife! Don¡¯t let me Look down on you as a man.¡± After saying that, Ji Wen looked at his good friend who was in his uncle¡¯s arms. Ji Lingchen also lowered his head to look at his wife, who was in his arms with misty eyes. He did not say anything and left with his wife still in his embrace. When they got to the car, Fang Xiaonuan held onto her seatbelt. She asked softly, ¡°Hubby, will you hit me when we get home?¡± Ji Lingchen raised his hand and flicked her forehead. ¡°There, I did.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and cried again, feeling wronged. This time, Ji Lingchen did not know what to do. He rubbed his wife¡¯s forehead and asked, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head, crying. ¡°You hit me too lightly.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s weeping face and suddenlyughed out loud. He actually felt that his crying wife was a little cute. He started the car and headed home. In his opinion, rather than words offort, it was better to be more practical. The so-calledfort was just telling her that everyone would forgive her and not me her. In the end, Fang Xiaonuan would still think that it was her fault. However, Ji Lingchen coaxed his wife in a different way. He did not coax her, nor did hefort her. His wife was worried that he would go home and ¡°abuse¡± her, so he gently flicked her forehead to make her feel better. On the way home, Fang Xiaonuan stopped crying. She began to think about how she could make it up to him. Soon, they reached home. Ji Lingchen got out of the car. He walked to the front passenger seat, opened the car door, and held his wife¡¯s hand as they walked inside. Fang Xiaonuan did not understand. She could walk on her own. Why was her husband holding her hand as they entered? Could it be that he was no longer angry with her? Upon returning home, Fang Xiaonuan realized that the servants who had been secretly talking about her had instantly quieted down when they saw her and her husband¡¯s tightly sped hands. Without waiting for her to think further, the butler worriedly went forward and asked, ¡°Second young master, how is the master¡¯s condition now?¡± The Ji family¡¯s servants were all very concerned about this. They knew that the master had fainted from pain in the hall earlier. It could be said that it had frightened everyone. It was said that the second young madam had made the old master eat a lot of ice cream, causing him to fall ill. At the same time, the servants at home were all curious. If something were to happen to the old master this time, how would the Ji family punish the second young madam who had just joined their family? ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. Father is being treated in the hospital. He¡¯s asleep now. Butler,e with me to the study.¡± Ji Lingchen held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand and went up the stairs. Chapter 90 - What Moved Her

When they arrived at the study, Fang Xiaonuan stood beside Ji Lingchen like a pir. She did not know what the man wanted to do. She also did not know why he brought her into the study. Not long after, the butler arrived. Ji Lingchen asked directly, ¡°How many ice-creams did dad eat today?¡± The butler stayed silent. Fang Xiaonuan turned to look at her husband, who was asking a serious question. In her heart, she repeated what her husband had just said. ¡®Dad stole ice-creams?¡¯ Ji Lingchen faced the silent butler and said another sentence, ¡°Although I¡¯m not at home all year round, I still know Dad¡¯s character. If Xiaonuan didn¡¯t let him continue eating, he would have definitely eaten secretly until he got tired of it. The only person who can help him steal ice-creams in this house is you. I¡¯m not doing this to teach you a lesson and expose you. I just don¡¯t want my wife to take the me. Do you understand?¡± When Fang Xiaonuan heard Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, her eyes reddened once again, and her tears fell again. In that instant, she knew why she was moved. The incident happened so suddenly. The family members did not me her. Her brother-inwforted her, and Xiaowen did not want her to me herself. Sister-inw also understood her. She was moved to hear everyone say this. However, as she was forgiven, she felt even more strongly that it was her fault that Old Master Ji was hospitalized. However, Ji Lingchen did notfort her from the beginning to the end. Instead, he brought her home and showed her using facts that this incident had nothing to do with her. His actions were better than countless words. The butler also knew that the servants in the house were gossiping fervently and med the young second young madam for this. After all, no one knew that the old master had secretly eaten more ice cream. The butler looked at Fang Xiaonuan, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, and could not bear it. In addition, the second young master was extremely intelligent. Even if he wanted to hide it, the second young master could use all kinds of methods to find out. Thus, he could only tell the truth. ¡°The old master secretly ate one of those old popsicles, an ice cream cone, and two crispychocte ice cream sticks.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan was shocked. Even as a young person, her body would not be able to take it if she ate that much. Old Master Ji was an old man in his seventies. Something bad would definitely happen if he ate so much! Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Alright, I got it. You can go and rest!¡± The butler left the study, trembling with fear. When the husband and wife were alone in the study, Ji Lingchen stood up and turned to look at his wife beside him. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband. She hugged Ji Lingchen¡¯s waist and slipped into his arms. ¡°Hubby, thank you.¡± A gesture and a word of thanks showed that Fang Xiaonuan understood his good intentions. A smile appeared on Ji Lingchen¡¯s cold face. He hugged his wife¡¯s slim waist and put his other hand on her shoulder. ¡°You don¡¯t feel bad anymore, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in his arms. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Then, sleep early tonight so that we can go to the hospital to take our shift tomorrow.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded again, but she did not leave her husband¡¯s arms. After hugging for a few minutes, Ji Lingchen could not help but remind her, ¡°If you continue hugging me, you¡¯ll fall asleep in the study tonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan then blushed and released her husband. In the hospital, Old Master Ji woke up. He took some time to react, and when he saw the IV needle on the back of his hand, he knew that he was in the hospital. Seeing that he had woken up, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji hurriedly went up to ask him how he felt. ¡°My stomach still hurts a little, and I feel a little dizzy,¡± Old Master Ji replied. ¡°Xiaowen, go to the doctor¡¯s office and call the doctor over to check on your grandfather again.¡± Mayor Ji immediately instructed his son to call the doctor. Ji Wen ran out quickly. Not long after, the doctor followed him into the ward. Seeing that Old Master Ji had regained consciousness, the doctor asked him, ¡°Mr. Ji, how many ice-creams did you eat this afternoon?¡± Old Master Ji hesitated for a moment. He remembered stealing more ice cream, so he yed dumb. ¡°I don¡¯t remember it. I¡¯m old, after all.¡± Feng Qi said to the doctor, ¡°I remember it very clearly. I ate three of them. My sister-inw didn¡¯t let my father eat more. Also¡­¡± The doctor interrupted Feng Qi. He looked at Old Master Ji and said, ¡°Mr. Ji, you were admitted into the hospital. Of course, you know how serious your condition is tonight. If you really can¡¯t remember it, then you don¡¯t have to answer me, but you must remember one thing. You can¡¯t eat too many of these cold things in the future.¡± Old Master Ji nodded and did not say anything further. Mayor Ji, who was standing beside him, noticed that something was wrong. After the doctor left, he asked his father, ¡°Dad, were you lying?¡± Old Master Ji, who was lying on the hospital bed, instantly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Feng Qi¡¯s years as a daughter-inw in the Ji family were not in vain. She understood Old Master Ji. Seeing him immediately pretend to be asleep and hide made her firmly believe one thing: her father-inw had secretly eaten the ice cream. ¡°Dad, how can you do this? Do you still want to eat it tomorrow? You felt like you didn¡¯t eat enough today and even got admitted into the hospital. It scared Xiaonuan so much that her eyes were puffy from self-me. I didn¡¯t expect you to secretly eat more.¡± Old Master Ji naturally did not expect that he would secretlyeat ice cream and end up in the hospital. It would be embarrassing if word of this got out. He was already in his seventies this year. This was now a shameful matter for him, so he did not want to admit it. However, his eldest son kept forcing him to speak. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s just us. No one else will know what you did. Tell me the truth. How much did you secretly eat this afternoon?¡± Old Master Ji was pretending to be asleep, so he could only open his eyes and turn away without looking at anyone. ¡°I only secretly ate a few pieces.¡± Upon seeing this, Ji Wen¡¯s mind was filled with images of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tears of self-me, so he asked, ¡°Grandfather, how many pieces are you talking about?¡± Old Master Ji had never thought that he would one day encounter such a situation. It was one thing to be discovered for stealing food, but his son, daughter-inw, and grandson were questioning him at the same time. ¡°I only ate four pieces, and I didn¡¯t think it was a big deal.¡± Old Master Ji was a little impatient and spoke indifferently. The family of three in the ward all had shocked faces. Feng Qi was the first to speak. ¡°Dad, you¡¯re crazy. You already ate three pieces in front of everyone. Three plus four equals seven. You ate seven servings of ice cream in one afternoon. Ji Wen, a young man in his prime, doesn¡¯t even dare to eat like this.¡± Mayor Ji did not expect his father to have such poor self-control. In his eyes, his father had always been an absolutely majestic existence. Ji Wen said, ¡°Grandpa, tomorrow when my uncle and my aunte to take care of you, you should admit your mistake to them!¡± ¡°I¡¯m your grandfather, their father. Why do I have to admit my mistakes? How am I wrong?¡± Old Master Ji wanted to protect his image, so when he heard his grandson¡¯s words, he was a little riled up. Ji Wen continued, ¡°Grandfather, the servants in our house must be misunderstanding my aunt, but she¡¯s not to me! When we told her to go home just now, her expression made it seem like she thought my uncle was avoiding her. When they get home, he¡¯ll probably teach her a lesson. This is all your fault. Don¡¯t you think you should take the initiative to admit your mistake?¡± ¡°All of you, get out! This is so annoying. All of you, get out and call the butler over. All of you, leave!¡± Old Master Ji was so angry that he chased them away. Ji Wen said, ¡°Look at you. You¡¯ve done something wrong, yet you still refuse to apologize. You¡¯ve set a bad example for me. In that case, I won¡¯t apologize even if I do something wrong in the future.¡± ¡°Unfilial grandson, how dare you!¡± Old Master Ji now wished he could beat up his grandson with his walking stick. Mayor Ji saw that his father¡¯s temper was getting worse. He did not want his father to be angry again, which would be detrimental to his recovery. ¡°Xiaowen, leave with your mother first. Let your grandfather rest well.¡± Feng Qi did not want to leave. She said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ll stay here with you.¡± Mayor Ji patted his wife¡¯s shoulder and whispered a few words into her ear. Then, Feng Qi obediently got up and dragged her furious son out of the ward. ¡°Mom, what are you doing! I have to talk about my grandfather. He¡¯s too stubborn.¡± After he was dragged out, Ji Wen felt a little regretful. It was not easy for him to get hold of something against his grandfather, and he had not said enough! Feng Qi thought of her husband¡¯s words just now and asked her son, ¡°When your uncle left just now, did he really look angry?¡± Ji Wen nodded and said seriously, ¡°I also told him not to hit Fang Xiaonuan when he gets home. He ignored me and left with Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Feng Qi imagined the scene of Ji Lingchen hitting Fang Xiaonuan. She had seen her brother-inw hit her son before, and he was really ruthless. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she felt. What if he gave Fang Xiaonuan a good beating? Then, she took out her phone and called her brother-inw. In the Ji family¡¯s old residence, Fang Xiaonuan was still in the man¡¯s arms. She said in a soft voice, ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s hot.¡± Fang Xiaonuan wanted to say that she should not let her husband hug her anymore. The man¡¯s body was like a furnace. It was a hot day. Even after taking a shower, her body was drenched in sweat. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you¡¯re hot, take off your clothes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hmm, just pretend that I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± The man chuckled. He lifted the nket a little to let in some cold air, but he did not let go of her. He was slowly breaking down his wife¡¯s defenses. It only took him a while to get her from the sofa to the bed and then from the side of the bed into his arms. Chapter 92 - Liking is a Feeling That Alluded to Possessing

At this rate, their rtionship would definitely improve in the short term. He needed to take it step by step with her and lure her toward him slowly. Ji Lingchen closed his eyes. A smile hung on the corner of his mouth. When he swallowed, his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. Fang Xiaonuan could feel it. Tonight, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart felt warm because of her husband. When she thought about it, she could not hide her smile. Thus, she moved closer to her husband. Ji Lingchen noticed his wife was moving closer to him. Naturally, he hugged her even tighter. Ji Lingchen had a fairly nd personality. He would not like people, and he did not know what it felt like to like them. All he knew was that liking was a feeling that alluded to possession. Back then, when he was forced to marry a child, he had rejected the notion entirely. He even thought of humiliating his wife. He thought that this girl was a cunning woman. Later on, Ji Lingchen realized that he was wrong. This girl was not cunning. She was the type that would infuriate others to death. He still remembered how she had called him uncle on purpose. Ji Lingchen had been in a high position for many years, and it had been a long time since anyone had offended him on purpose. Later on, Ji Lingchen witnessed with his own eyes the uneasiness in his home. When she quarreled with others, no matter who the other party was, she would not give in. When she fought, no matter who the other party was, she would not show mercy. His little wife had a straightforward personality, and when she was dissatisfied, she would scold him directly. She had a strong personality, and she would even fight. However, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s personality also had a soft side. She would hide behind him like a kitten, and would softly call him husband. Language held so much charm. It was just that when she softly called him husband, his heart would tremble, and then he would pretend as if nothing had happened and walk away, or even pretend as if he was cold and indifferent to her. She was also very well-behaved. He never got tired of what she did. However, she also had a bad mouth. She often babbled non-stop. Sometimes, she was very sensible. She was so sensible that it made people¡¯s hearts ache. ¡°Hubby, do you think we should talk about him stealing ice cream today when we go to see Dad tomorrow? Dad is already so old. He definitely wouldn¡¯t want us to know about him stealing ice cream. Why don¡¯t we just pretend that we don¡¯t know? Let¡¯s respect his ego.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words interrupted Ji Lingchen¡¯s train of thought. ¡°I don¡¯t really care about what he feels. If you want to say it tomorrow, just say it. If you don¡¯t want to say it, just ignore it.¡± Ji Lingchen would not think as far as Fang Xiaonuan had. Even if he had, he would not admit it verbally. Fang Xiaonuan looked up at her husband who was not saying what he meant and said, ¡°That¡¯s not true! Hubby, deep inside, you really care about father.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°How did you know?¡± Fang Xiaonuany on the bed next to her husband. Her hands were restless, and she happened to be fiddling with her husband¡¯s left arm. She picked it up casually. She yed with her husband¡¯s arm and exined her thought process. ¡°Because I called you to tell you that Dad was in the hospital. You were obviously busy with an important social event, but you still rushed to the hospital immediately.¡± The man chuckled and asked, ¡°Then, why did you think that I was worried about him being in the hospital and not worried about you crying on the phone?¡± As the two of them chatted, the man shifted his arm. His left palm rubbed against Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s shoulder. He pulled off the strap of the girl¡¯s dress and let it hang. The girl was too engrossed in her words and ignored the man¡¯srge palm on her shoulder. ¡°Because Dad and brother-inw said that you were going to talk to someone about something very important tonight. Since Dad and him said that it was important, then this must be very important. ¡°You must have heard my crying and thought that I was causing trouble for you at home again. Then, when you heard that Dad was in the hospital, you became even more worried, so you rushed to the hospital. If you didn¡¯t care about Dad, you wouldn¡¯t have rushed to see him upon finding that out. When you arrived at the hospital, you saw your father lying on the hospital bed, and your eyebrows never rxed. You were clearly worried, but you made everyone think you were impatient,¡± Fang Xiaonuan exined in detail. Ji Lingchen looked at the first girl who understood him so well. ¡°Xiaonuan, what else have you found out about me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan yed with her husband¡¯s arm and asked in return, ¡°Do you want me to say everything?¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. ¡°Tell me everything.¡± He wanted to hear it. It had been a long time since someone understood him so well. Fang Xiaonuan turned around and saw the man¡¯s palm on her shoulder. She nced at it but did not push it away. Instead, she asked her husband, ¡°Husband, do you know that you have a habit when you hold my hand?¡± Ji Lingchen had his doubts. What habit could he have concerning hand-holding?

Fang Xiaonuan grabbed the big palm on her right arm. She held her husband¡¯s hand and then suddenly pulled her hand out. Ji Lingchen¡¯s hand quickly tightened and then loosened. Fang Xiaonuan looked at him. ¡°Every time you hold my hand, when you let go, you¡¯ll subconsciously grasp tight before releasing me. Why do you think that is?¡± Ji Lingchen opened his hands and looked at them. A long time ago, he had not held on tight enough to someone and lost that person. It turned out that, now, when he held someone¡¯s hand, he would subconsciously tighten his grip. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He asked his little wife beside him, ¡°Did you find out anything else?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a curious person. She mustered up her courage and asked her husband, ¡°Hubby, why do you have this habit?¡± Ji Lingchen ced both his hands on his wife¡¯s shoulders. He continued to hold her in his arms, letting her hide in his arms like a kitten. He hid the hostility in his eyes. ¡°This is new to me. Do I still do it?¡± ¡°Yes, of course¡­¡± Just as Fang Xiaonuan was about to continue, Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang. The couple nced at the bedside table at the same time. ¡°Hubby, your phone is ringing.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s ringtone was the default ringtone. As for Fang Xiaonuan, she would often change her ringtone to her favorite songs. Therefore, when she heard the regr simple ringtone, she knew without even thinking that it was Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone. Ji Lingchen stretched out his long arm and picked up the phone to see the caller ID. ¡°It¡¯s sister-inw.¡± He picked up the phone and put it to his ear. ¡°Hello, sister-inw. How¡¯s Dad?¡± ¡°Dad¡¯s awake. He¡¯s fine now.¡± After answering Ji Lingchen¡¯s question, Feng Qi asked tentatively, ¡°Lingchen, how are you and Xiaonuan?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the girl in his arms who was eavesdropping. He deliberately put the phone close to his ear so that Fang Xiaonuan could not hear him, so she could only get closer to him. As expected, in order to eavesdrop, the girl unconsciously climbed onto her husband¡¯s chest and eavesdropped. Ji Lingchen was happy. He hugged his wife in his arms. ¡°We¡¯re going to sleep. What¡¯s the matter, sister-inw?¡± Feng Qi began to persuade him. ¡°Lingchen, your brother and I just asked Dad. Dad was hospitalized because he ate too much ice cream. He carried some back to the bedroom and secretly ate four more servings of ice cream. Don¡¯t be angry with Xiaonuan. Don¡¯t bully her! Lingchen, it was so hard to find you a wife. Xiaonuan is just a little younger, you have to slowlymunicate with her. Don¡¯t treat her the way you treat Ji Wen. I know you believe you¡¯re in the right. Although we don¡¯t live together often, I still want us to live together happily. I don¡¯t care how you discipline Xiaowen. He was naughty and deserved to be beaten up. But Xiaonuan is different. She is your wife, and Xiaonuan means the world to her parents. If you hit her, the Fang family won¡¯t let it go. Ugh, I¡¯ve said so much. I want you to have a good life with Xiaonuan. She¡¯s a good girl.¡± Ji Lingchenughed out loud. He looked down at his eavesdropping wife, who was engrossed in the conversation. Then, he ced the phone by Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ear. ¡°Xiaonuan, tell your sister-inw. Did I hit you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan took the phone. She sat up on the bed and said, ¡°Hello, sister-inw, it¡¯s Xiaonuan.¡± Feng Qi asked worriedly, ¡°Xiaonuan, Dad is fine now. How are you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Sister-inw, thank you. My husband was reluctant toy a hand on me. After we returned home, he dragged the butler into the study to ask about what happened with Dad, and the butler confessed. My husband even coaxed me and made sure that I stopped ming myself.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Thank God that Lingchen didn¡¯t hit you. The two of you are fine. Since you are fine, I¡¯ll hang up. I¡¯ll go back and tell your big brother everything¡¯s fine.¡± Fang Xiaonuan also smiled. It turned out that Ji Lingchen¡¯s family thought he was a person who would hit his wife! ¡°Okay, okay. Sister-inw, go quickly! Tomorrow, Lingchen and I will go and help you with Dad.¡± After hanging up the phone, Fang Xiaonuan leaned on her husband and put the phone back on the bedside table. Then, she continued to lie under the nket and let her husband hug her. ¡°Hubby, why does everyone in the family think that you will hit me?¡± If she did not understand, she would ask. This was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s personality. However, she felt that her husband was quite sensible and gentle! How could his family think that he would hit his wife? Chapter 94 - If You Run Away, You Lose

Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°I don¡¯t live in this house. I haven¡¯t since I was young. Every time Ie back, it¡¯s mostly because of Ji Wen. Ie back to discipline him. Everyone probably saw that I hit Ji Wen too hard, so they suspected that I was prone to violence!¡± Fang Xiaonuan shifted so she was morefortable in her husband¡¯s arms. ¡°That violent behavior is directed towards Ji Wen. You have to be gentler towards your wife. Sister-inw is right. If you hit your wife, she will run away. If she runs away, she will be lost. If she is lost, she will never be found again.¡± Ji Lingchen patted Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little behind. ¡°Where do you want to run off to?¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m going back to my mother¡¯s house!¡± Fang Xiaonuan covered the spot where she had just been smacked. Her face instantly turned red from embarrassment. Ji Lingchen ruffled Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hair and asked, ¡°Are you going back to your parents¡¯ house toin?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll let my dad beat you up!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Haha, are you going back to your parents¡¯ house toin about me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell them you beat me up!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Where did I hit you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly lost her temper and did not say a word. It was a little embarrassing to be spanked, and she could not say it out loud. This made Ji Lingchen let out a heartyugh again. Fang Xiaonuan had a small temper. She turned around, her back facing Ji Lingchen, and ignored him. Her husband turned her over and hugged her again. This time, he did not tease the girl anymore. Instead, he patted her back gently and said softly, ¡°Go to sleep. You still have to go to the hospital tomorrow.¡± The next day, Fang Xiaonuan brought the food prepared by the servants to the hospital for her shift change. She was holding two ice cream sticks in her hands. Ji Lingchen did not know how delicious this ice cream could be. She had eaten breakfast early in the morning and still needed two more. ¡°Honey, try them. Don¡¯t worry, you will definitely fall in love with them.¡± Seeing her husband¡¯s questioning gaze, Fang Xiaonuan raised her hand and fed her husband the ice cream. After all, he should taste it for himself. Ji Lingchen expressed his refusal. He did not like sweet things. Fang Xiaonuan put her hand back and continued eating. When she arrived at the hospital, she had just finished eating her ice cream. She picked up the lunch box and entered the hospital. Last night, Old Master Ji suddenly had a stomachache and could not stand it anymore. He only fell asleep after a while. Ji Wen had been up all night and his face was tired. Feng Qi and Mayor Ji were sitting in the room, taking a nap. Fang Xiaonuan tiptoed into the ward. Feng Qi was resting her forehead on her hand and fell asleep. Fang Xiaonuan patted her shoulder and whispered, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m here.¡± Feng Qi woke up and saw the couple. ¡°Why are you here so early?¡± Fang Xiaonuan ced the food on the table and sat down beside Feng Qi. ¡°Lingchen and I came earlier. You and big brother can bring Ji Wen back to catch up on his sleep.¡± Feng Qi looked at Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan. Then, she secretly observed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s exposed skin. When she found that there were no marks on her fair and tender skin, she heaved a sigh of relief. Fang Xiaonuan felt her sister-inw¡¯s small movements. She smiled faintly. This sister-inw was so cute. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sister-inw. Lingchen didn¡¯t hit me. If we really fought, he wouldn¡¯t be able to beat me.¡± Feng Qi¡¯s worried heart finally settled. She said, ¡°Just now, I was dreaming that because Lingchen hit you, your rtionship with Lingchen couldn¡¯t go on.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Dreams are the opposite of reality,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. From the moment he entered the ward, Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze had never left the old man on the hospital bed, but he was unwilling to ask. As his wife, Fang Xiaonuan understood her husband¡¯s concern, so she took the initiative to ask on his behalf. ¡°Sister-inw, how was Dadst night?¡± Feng Qi replied, ¡°The injection stopped the pain, butter in the night, the pain became unbearable. I called the doctor over and only fell asleep after they gave him another injection.¡± Ji Lingchen nced at his wife. There were some things that he wanted to say, but he could not say them out loud. So, she spoke for him. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then let¡¯s not wake Dad up for dinner. Sister-inw, you and big brother can bring Ji Wen home to rest. Lingchen and I will stay here. If there¡¯s anything, we will handle it ourselves.¡± Feng Qi rejected her proposal. ¡°You are just like Ji Wen. You are still a child, and you don¡¯t know how to take care of others yet. Lingchen is busy with work all day long, and he doesn¡¯t seem like someone who knows how to take care of others either. The two of you don¡¯t know anything. It¡¯s better for you to go home!¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°How can that be? The responsibility of taking care of Dad cannot fall on you and brother-inw alone. Lingchen and I are also Dad¡¯s children, so we naturally have the obligation to take care of him. Although I might be a little stupid about these things, it¡¯s daytime now. There are many nurses in the hospital. If I don¡¯t know what to do. I can consult the nurses.¡± Chapter 95 - Patients Are Not Allowed to Eat These

Feng Qi was still insistent, but Fang Xiaonuan firmly rejected her offer. Ji Lingchen also said to Mayor Ji, ¡°Brother, bring sister-inw home! Your bodies won¡¯t be able to take it after an entire night of being here. Father has two sons. Xiaonuan and I can take care of him.¡± Mayor Ji looked at his exhausted wife and finally nodded. He led his wife out of the ward. When he walked out of the ward, he found Ji Wen sitting on a chair. He was leaning his head against the wall as he slept. The husband and wife felt sorry for their son. ¡°Xiaowen,e home with us before you fall asleep.¡± Ji Wen got up and followed his parents home. Because Old Master Ji had an honorable reputation, the doctor and nurses were only responsible for treating him. So, there were no ward rounds in the morning. The doctor only came into the ward once and found Old Master Ji sleeping, so he left. Ji Lingchen followed the doctor out. Before he left, he told his wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, call me when dad wakes up. You don¡¯t know how to take care of people, so I¡¯ll do it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. ¡°Hubby, I may not know how to take care of people, but that doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t learn! If you say that in front of the doctor, you¡¯ll be embarrassing me.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled dotingly. He looked at the doctor¡¯s back as he left and said, ¡°I only said it after the doctor left. It¡¯s not embarrassing. Only I know.¡± After he said that, he closed the door and chased after the doctor to ask about his father¡¯s condition. Fang Xiaonuan was guarding the ward alone. She was a little bored. She was so bored that she went to touch the flowers and nts around her. Perhaps, Ji Lingchen knew that his wife would be bored because he came back with two bags of snacks in his hands. Fang Xiaonuan looked at what he was holding. ¡°Hubby, who did you buy these for?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I never eat these things. Dad can¡¯t eat them. Who else is in this room?¡± Fang Xiaonuan reacted, a smile immediately appearing on her face. She hurriedly took the snacks from Ji Lingchen¡¯s hands and looked at her husband with a smile. ¡°Thank you, husband!¡± Fang Xiaonuan could already imagine her husband in a suit going to the store and standing in front of the shelves to pick out snacks for her. Other than thanking him, she felt an inexplicable urge to kiss her husband. But she did not dare. Ji Lingchen searched her expression and entered the ward. He went to sit on the sofa. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, what did the doctor say?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It was an emergency. He¡¯s old, so he¡¯s in the hospital for observation and treatment.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. She opened a packet of potato chips and started eating. In the quiet room, only the crunching sound of his little wife eating potato chips could be heard. Ji Lingchen turned sideways and looked at his wife, who was enjoying the snacks. One packet became two packets, then three packets. She even took another packet after that. He watched her eat for more than an hour. ¡°Xiaonuan, did you eat enough this morning?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°I¡¯m full!¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan looked at the empty bag of snacks on the table and felt a little awkward. ¡°Snacks are light food. The packaging looks quite big, but there¡¯s not much in it. It doesn¡¯t upy much space in my stomach.¡± Ji Lingchen did not berate his wife for enjoying the snacks. He just smiled. Not long after, Old Master Ji woke up. The couple quickly got up and moved to his side. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Dad, how are you feeling?¡± Old Master Ji saw that the couple was apanying him. He asked, ¡°Why are you two here?¡± ¡°We¡¯re here to take care of you. It¡¯s our shift now,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Old Master Ji sat up from the bed. He still looked very weak. Ji Lingchen poured him a ss of water. Coincidentally, the nurse came to give him an injection. Fang Xiaonuan immediately vacated her position. She was a little dizzy from watching the injection and did not dare to witness the needle being inserted into the man¡¯s flesh. Thus, she hid behind her husband. ¡°Old Master Ji, you have six bottles of medicine to take today. Last night, we found out that your blood pressure is a little high. Today, we added some medicine to lower your blood pressure. After you¡¯ve finished them, call us. We¡¯lle to deliver more medicine.¡± Old Master Ji nodded. Fang Xiaonuan poked her head out from behind her husband. When she realized that the nurse had already given Old Master Ji the injection, she stepped out from behind her husband. Before the nurse left, she saw bags of snacks on the table and reminded him, ¡°CEO Ji, patients are not allowed to eat these.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I bought these to help my wife pass the time.¡± The young nurse looked at Fang Xiaonuan enviously before leaving. In less than half an hour, all the nurses at the nurses¡¯ station learned that the usually stern and stern CEO Ji had bought snacks for his wife. When Fang Xiaonuan went out to fetch water, she could even sense the nurses¡¯ sneaky nces at her. She returned to the ward and told her husband, ¡°Hubby, when I go out to fetch water, they all stare at me.¡± Ji Lingchen did not understand. He asked, ¡°Who is looking at you? Why are they looking at you?¡± Chapter 96 - Don’t Worry, It’s Not Poison

¡°Those nurses are all talking about how nice you are to me for buying me snacks. They¡¯re saying that you¡¯repletely different from how you are on TV.¡± Fang Xiaonuan told her husband what she had overheard. Ji Lingchen smiled. ¡°Isn¡¯t that good?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°There¡¯s nothing bad about it. I¡¯m just a little embarrassed.¡± Feng Qi was right. The husband and wife were not good at taking care of others. They both ignored Old Master Ji. Fang Xiaonuan poured a ss of water for Old Master Ji. Ji Lingchen was beside him, taking a look at the drip from time to time. Old Master Ji, who had not eaten sincest night, could not help but ask out of hunger, ¡°Ask the butler when he cane and bring me breakfast.¡± Fang Xiaonuan froze. Old Master Ji had already been up for an hour. They had forgotten that they had brought breakfast for him. Ji Lingchen coughed awkwardly, ¡°Um, Dad, we actually have breakfast for you. We had it when we came but you had not woken up yet. We were afraid of disturbing your rest, so we did not awaken. We put the breakfast aside and forgot about it.¡± As expected, these two people were unreliable. Old Master Ji was furious. Were these two children supposed to take care of him? Shouldn¡¯t they be spending a long time waiting on him? They could even forget about the patient¡¯s meal. Ji Lingchen walked to the side and took the food and ced it on the small dining table. Fang Xiaonuan quickly arranged the food and prepared breakfast for Old Master Ji. She said with conviction, ¡°Dad, the porridge was too hot just now. The temperature is just right now, so you don¡¯t have to blow so hard when you eat.¡± ¡°So, I should thank you for letting the porridge cool down for me?¡± Old Master Ji said with some dissatisfaction. ¡°Isn¡¯t thatmon courtesy and a way of showing gratitude to your own family?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said shamelessly. Old Master Ji smiled when he saw her like this. Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up upon watching their interaction. In order to show her remorse for forgetting Old Master Ji¡¯s breakfast, Fang Xiaonuan took the initiative to feed him. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks and sat beside Old Master Ji. ¡°Come, Dad, let me feed you.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Alright, if you dare to feed me, I won¡¯t eat it.¡± ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s definitely not poisonous.¡± Fang Xiaonuan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it toward Old Master Ji¡¯s mouth. Old Master Ji opened his mouth hesitantly. Just as he took a sip, his tongue spasmed. How was this porridge cold? It was clearly still hot, so hot that tears were about to stream out of his eyes. Seeing this, Ji Lingchen hurriedly took out a piece of tissue and ced it beside his father¡¯s mouth. ¡°Dad, spit it out.¡± Old Master Ji spat out the scalding porridge into his son¡¯s palm. ¡°Xiaonuan, be good. Listen to me. Just go and rest! I¡¯m old enough, so you don¡¯t have to wait on me.¡± Old Master Ji tried to save himself from more pain. He took a deep breath before saying all this to Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head in embarrassment. It seemed that she had done something wrong again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dad. Then I¡¯ll let my husband feed you.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan got up from her seat and nced at her husband. Ji Lingchen went to wash his hands and returned to sit by the bed. He took the bowl that his wife passed to him. CEO Ji, who had never taken care of anyone before, was nervous. He did not find it difficult to deal with the intrigue in the business world. In fact, the more difficult it was, the more challenging it was for him. He could easily deal with it. Ji Lingchen, who was known as the king of the business world, did not know how to feed his father breakfast. His wife was still young, so it was understandable that she did not know how to feed him. However, if he himself did not know how to feed a patient, he would be aughing stock. No matter how nervous Ji Lingchen was, he did not show it. He learned from what had just happened with his wife. He blew on the porridge before feeding it to his father. Old Master Ji felt that the young couple was a little unreliable. Thus, when the porridge was brought to his mouth, he blew on it again, feeling worried. Then, he took his first bite. ¡°Lingchen, this is the first time you¡¯ve fed me.¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He continued to feed his father expressionlessly. His rtionship with his father had never been good. They were always cold with each other. Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband was not reacting to her father-inw¡¯s words, so she tried to liven up the atmosphere. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m really sorry. I didn¡¯t expect our Thermos cup to be so effective. The porridge has been in there for two to three hours, and it¡¯s still warm. Please don¡¯t be angry. I had no idea!¡± Old Master Ji nced at his daughter-inw, but he did not have any intention of ming her. ¡°You¡¯re not a servant.¡± Fang Xiaonuan patted his chest and promised him, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry, I will learn eventually.¡± Chapter 97 - You Can’t Learn It

Chapter 97: You Can¡¯t Learn It

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°You can¡¯t learn it, so don¡¯t waste your energy.¡± Old Master Ji knew that his eldest daughter-inw was different from his second daughter-inw. Fang Xiaonuan had been doted on since she was young. Judging by how the Fang family protected her, she definitely did not suffer much while growing up. To let a person who was doted on learn to serve others¡­ Based on Old Master Ji¡¯s experience, he thought that this was not something she could learn. Ji Lingchen was doing well in feeding him. At least, he did not burn him. One person fed him, while the other kept up the conversation so that the patient would not feel bored. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Just as Ji Lingchen finished feeding him, Old Master Ji realized that his hospital gown was stained with a lot of rice grains. He fell silent. It had just been one meal! What a mess! The mischievous Fang Xiaonuan walked over to her husband¡¯s side and tugged at his sleeve. ¡°Hubby, so you don¡¯t know how to feed either!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was awkward, which did not happen often. He replied, ¡°This is my first time.¡± Old Master Ji was restless. He could not change his clothes even if he wanted to. However, if hey down again, the bed sheets would get dirty too. Thus, he said with an unhappy expression, ¡°You two aren¡¯t here to apany me. You¡¯re simply here to torture me on purpose!¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked quickly, feeling guilty. She said without hesitation, ¡°Dad, you should be overjoyed. After all, you¡¯re the first patient Lingchen and I are taking care of.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°So, should I feel honored?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was not red. She nodded calmly and said, ¡°Yes!¡± Ji Lingchen lowered his head to look at his little wife¡¯s face. He was puzzled. How was she so brazen sometimes and so sensitive in other situations? Old Master Ji was so angry that he could not even speak. What kind of top-notch daughter-inw had married into his family? However, Old Master Ji thought that it was over. Not long after, the nurse came to clean Old Master Ji up. The nurse saw the state of his clothes. Old Master Ji was tired and wanted to lie down to sleep. However, he was also a clean freak. If his clothes were not clean, he could not lie downfortably. Fang Xiaonuan was the best ating up with odd ideas. ¡°Dad, take the needle out of your hand first. Then change your clothes, and then stick another needle back in.¡± Old Master Ji could not help but yell at his daughter-inw. ¡°That¡¯s easy for you to say. Stick another needle in my flesh? If you don¡¯t hurt me, I¡¯ll hurt you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan continued to speak desperately. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. It¡¯s like being bitten by a mosquito. It doesn¡¯t hurt at all.¡± Old Master Ji pointed at the nurse and said, ¡°Come,e,e. Quick, give my daughter-inw an injection. She thinks it¡¯s just like a mosquito bite, after all.¡± The nurse was new and could not quite catch up with what Old Master Ji meant. She said carefully, ¡°Mr. Ji, thisdy doesn¡¯t have an illness and can¡¯t be given an injection.¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s brain spun quickly. ¡°Who says she¡¯s not sick? Her brain disease is so serious. Can¡¯t you tell?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately became anxious. ¡°Dad, my brain is extremely smart. You¡¯re old and muddle-headed and that¡¯s why you think there¡¯s something wrong with my brain.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°That was a terribleeback. You think you¡¯re the smartest. I think you¡¯re only extremely smart.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I still have hair, but Dad, you¡¯re about to go bald.¡± This argument between the old and young was too funny. The man, who was sitting beside them and watching this y out, smiled wider and wider. Even the new nurse was stifling herughter. It was rare for Ji Lingchen to be so happy. He was no longer smiling, butughing heartily. When heughed, the corners of his eyes wrinkled. Hearing his daughter-inw¡¯s words, Old Master Ji angrily pulled the nket aside and was about to get out of bed. ¡°Mr. Ji, you¡¯re still hooked up to the IV. You can¡¯t move around freely,¡± the nurse beside him immediately reminded him. Old Master Ji pointed at Fang Xiaonuan angrily. ¡°She¡­ she said that I¡¯m bald. I can¡¯t take this lying down.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nced at him. ¡®Oh my God! Dad is going to beat me up!¡¯ Thus, she immediately hid in Ji Lingchen¡¯s arms at lightning speed. She was so fast that Ji Lingchen did not even have time to react. Suddenly, his wife was in his arms. She hugged his neck like a cat and even acted coquettishly to him. ¡°Hubby, your wife is going to be beaten up by your father. Are you going to protect her?¡± Ji Lingchen hugged his wife¡¯s waist with one hand and lifted her legs with the other. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m going to protect her!¡± ¡°I¡¯m so angry! The two of you, get out of here!¡± Old Master Ji was furious. These two were clearly here to take care of him, but in the end, they had made him furious. Someone knocked on the ward door. Under the watchful gazes of the people in the ward, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s parents walked in with ¡®Get Well Soon¡¯ gifts. The moment Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s parents entered, they saw Ji Lingchen carrying their daughter while the patient stood beside them. The patient¡¯s clothes were a little dirty, and he seemed to be quite angry. Chapter 98 - Trust and Reliance

¡°Dad, Mom.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was sitting on her husband¡¯sp. When she saw her parents at the door, she cried out in surprise. ¡°Nuannuan, why are you being carried by Lingchen?¡± Mrs. Fang asked. Fang Xiaonuan and her husband looked at each other. She immediately got out of her husband¡¯s arms and stammered, ¡°We¡­ we were just ying around!¡± The Fang couple put down their gifts and looked at Old Master Ji. ¡°Old Master Ji, why are you standing up? You should lie down.¡± ¡°I was arguing with Xiaonuan just now.¡± Old Master Ji red at his daughter-inw angrily and sat on the bed. Mrs. Fang naturally understood her daughter¡¯s character. She reached out and pped her daughter¡¯s back. ¡°Did you run your mouth again? Are you being irritating?¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not. I¡¯m already married. I already have a husband. You can¡¯t hit me anymore.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and hid behind her husband dejectedly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression immediately turned cold when he saw his wife get hit. He ced his hand on his wife¡¯s back and asked her, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Fang Xiaonuan acted coquettishly to her husband. ¡°Yes, it must be red now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was acting coquettishly to her husband, but Old Master Ji, who was lying on the hospital bed, listened to her. No matter how infuriating Fang Xiaonuan was, she was still his daughter-inw. It did not make sense for his inws to hit his daughter-inw in front of him! ¡°Mr. Fang! Do you guys hit Xiaonuan often at home?¡± Old Master Ji asked. Mr. Fang felt that Old Master Ji was intentionally bringing this up, and he felt a little aggrieved. His daughter was too old to be hit. Mrs. Fang answered on behalf of her husband, ¡°She doesn¡¯t listen to us. If we just nag, it won¡¯t be enough. She needs to be a little scared.¡± Old Master Ji nodded solemnly. ¡°My family never hits children. If there¡¯s a problem, you have to reason with them. If the children don¡¯t listen, it¡¯s because the parents aren¡¯t capable. In short, my upbringing style doesn¡¯t tolerate violence against children. You have to learn from my family!¡± Thankfully, Ji Wen did not hear what Old Master Ji just said. Was that really true of the Ji family? Had he not been beaten up since he was young? Why had no one reasoned with him when he was growing up! He would be willing to listen. Fang Xiaonuan understood. Old Master Ji was protecting her! She quickly stepped out to ease the awkward atmosphere. ¡°Dad, sometimes I really annoy people. When I behave like I did just now, my parents would hit me.¡± Old Master Ji immediately remembered that he had also been forced out of bed by Fang Xiaonuan. If that was really the case, then she really should be hit. He coughed awkwardly. Mr. Fang quickly changed the topic and asked, ¡°Old Master Ji, you seem fine now. Why haven¡¯t you gotten discharged?¡± Fang Xiaonuan exined, ¡°Dad, my dad, he¡­¡± She suddenly realized that there were three men in the room, and two of them were her fathers. How should she address them? She could only skip this title. ¡°He is getting old and his stomach isn¡¯t good. His digestion isn¡¯t good either, so he suffered from acute gastroenteritis and ended up in the hospital.¡± Fang Xiaonuan knew that the old man wanted to preserve his good image. Thus, she did not say that he was in the hospital because he had stolen ice cream. Instead, she said that he was getting older. Old Master Ji¡¯s expression looked better. He epted the good intentions of this clever daughter-inw. ¡°When you¡¯re old, your body will begin to have all sorts of problems. The two of you are so busy. There was no need for you to visit.¡± Mr. Fang said, ¡°What do you mean? After Xiaonuan told us that you were hospitalized, we rushed over to see what was going on. Why did someone who was still healthy a few days ago suddenly end up in the hospital? Nuannuan didn¡¯t exin it to us clearly this morning. On the way here, her mother and I were still feeling uneasy.¡± ¡°Dad, I was chatting with you guys this morning, and my husband came back with a bunch of snacks. When I was happy, I forgot about it,¡± Fang Xiaonuan exined aggrievedly. She felt aggrieved. It was clearly her fault, but Ji Lingchen felt like that did not sound fair. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Eating is the most important thing,¡± Ji Lingchen said. The Fang couple had been worried that their daughter would not have a good life in the Ji family. Now, after a mere ten minutes of conversation, they werepletely relieved. Old Master Ji protected Xiaonuan and did not let her parents hit her. The son-inw held his daughter in his arms, clearly cherishing her. Also, Mr. Fang noticed that when his daughter did something wrong, the first person she looked for was Ji Lingchen. When she was afraid, she would hide behind Ji Lingchen. Perhaps his wife did not realize it. As a man, he could feel it. It was a kind of inexplicable trust and reliance. Once, when his daughter did something wrong, she hid behind him. He felt his daughter¡¯s reliance on him. It was because she knew, in her heart, that he would protect her.

Now, his daughter was hiding behind another man. He believed that Ji Lingchen would feel the same way. For a second, Mr. Fang felt a sense of loss. It turned out that another man had be his daughter¡¯s protector. Ji Lingchen noticed his father-inw¡¯s strange expression. He nced at his little wife who was hugging his arm. He understood what was going on. ¡°Dad, Xiaonuan and I wille to visit you two in a few days.¡± Mr. Fang said, ¡°It¡¯s too troublesome to run back and forth. Take care of your father first. Go back and rest for a few days.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled. ¡°It¡¯s alright. It would be after school for her. I¡¯ll go straight home after work. If you miss her, just give us a call and we¡¯ll visit you. Now that she¡¯s married, you¡¯ll need some time to get used to it. I¡¯ll bring her back to visit you.¡± Hearing his son¡¯s words, Old Master Ji realized that his family had snatched the ¡°pearl of the Fang family¡± away. How lonely the couple must be at home! ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right! Mr. Fang, do you miss Xiaonuan? Bring her home today. It won¡¯t be a problem. Bring her home for a few days.¡± Old Master Ji hurriedly told this irritating daughter-inw to leave. If she stayed any longer, he would stay furious for longer. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her father-inw who was lying in bed. ¡°Dad, I won¡¯t leave you like this. My husband and I will take good care of you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. You should go back and y!¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not leave. Old Master Ji was so angry, but he was helpless. Seeing this, the Fang couple realized that their daughter had already gotten used to living in the Ji family. The couple did not stay any longer. After the short visit, they got up and left under the excuse of being busy. Before they left, Mrs. Fang tapped her daughter on the forehead and lectured her in a doting tone, ¡°Eat fewer snacks! You¡¯re already married, you¡¯re an adult now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan acted coyly. ¡°It¡¯s not that I wanted to eat them. My husband bought them for me.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. ¡°Dad and Mom, I won¡¯t let Xiaonuan suffer. If she enjoys certain things, I¡¯ll buy them for her.¡± Xiaonuan¡¯s parents looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. The two returned to the car. Mrs. Fang asked in puzzlement, ¡°Hubby, Nuannuan is married to Lingchen. Have they developed feelings for each other?¡± Mr. Fang started the car. He replied, ¡°Perhaps they are fated to be together!¡± Old Master Ji saw that Fang Xiaonuan, who did not leave the ward, did not even turn on the heater. He secretly swore in his heart, ¡®I¡¯ll get a hair transnt when I get back!¡¯ Due to the presence of two people who did not know how to take care of patients, Old Master Ji did not say anything when it was time for lunch. He sat on the bed and looked at his daughter-inw, who was sitting on the sofa not far from the bed. She was enjoying her snacks. Fang Xiaonuan opened a packet of spicy junk food. The spicy aroma filled the entire room. Old Master Ji kept swallowing his saliva. It smelled so good! Ji Lingchen saw that his father was hungry and asked, ¡°Dad, are you hungry?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry, I¡¯m not hungry!¡± Old Master Ji emphasized. He looked at the cold liquid being injected into his body and told himself, ¡®Hold on a little longer. There are only two bottles left.¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan also noticed that her father wanted to eat the spicy junk food. She approached him with the packet. ¡°Dad, open your mouth, I¡¯ll feed you a mouthful.¡± Old Master Ji really opened his mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll just have a little.¡± Ji Lingchen hurriedly stopped his foolish wife. ¡°Xiaonuan, Dad hasn¡¯t recovered yet. He can¡¯t eat these spicy things.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at her father-inw¡¯s pale face and thought of the nurse¡¯s warning. She retracted her hand. ¡°Dad, you can¡¯t eat them now. Once you¡¯re discharged, I¡¯ll take you to get some.¡± Old Master Ji red at his son. His son knew that he could not eat junk food now, but he still bought so much junk food for his wife. The worst part was that his wife was eating all of it right under his nose. Was she not tempting him? Ji Lingchen said to his wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t eat anymore.¡± Fang Xiaonuan saw that there were only a few pieces left. She said, ¡°I¡¯ll eat outside in the corridor. I¡¯lle back after eating. I don¡¯t want dad to smell it.¡± With that, she took the half-finished packet of spicy junk food and left. Only the father and son were in the ward. Old Master Ji¡¯s stomach began to rumble. He looked embarrassed. Fortunately, only his son was present. Ji Lingchen did not look at his father. He did not ask if his father was hungry. Instead, he went to the end of the bed and opened the gifts that his father-inw and mother-inw had brought. There was a whole box of pastries. He took out a packet and opened it, handing it to his father. ¡°Dad, have some of this. Use your left hand.¡± The needle was in Old Master Ji¡¯s right hand. Using chopsticks with his left hand was inconvenient, but the pastry would not be too hard to pick up. Chapter 100 - Brief Moments of Peace

Chapter 100: Brief Moments of Peace

Ji Lingchen was still worried that his father would feel ufortable, so he took out a piece of cake and ate with him. The ward was very quiet. Only the sound of breathing and chewing could be heard. Ji Lingchen and his father had not gotten along well for more than ten years. They never shared such peaceful moments. Old Master Ji coughed. Ji Lingchen immediately went to pour him some water. The father and son did not say anything else. Old Master Ji was even enjoying the momentary peace between himself and his second son. After they finished the pastries, Fang Xiaonuan returned. She was holding a bottle of fruit juice. Just now, she had also realized that her father-inw must be hungry. However, she knew that his right hand was hooked up to the IV. It would be hard for him to eat, so he needed to rely on someone to feed him. Meanwhile, she and her husband did not know how to feed him, so they forced themselves to say that they were not hungry. Fang Xiaonuan had just said that she was going to the corridor to finish the spicy junk food, but in reality, she did not. After all, eating in the corridor would disturb other people. She left the in-patient department and jogged to the supermarket outside the hospital. She bought a bottle of fruit juice for her father-inw. She twisted open the bottle cap and handed it to Old Master Ji. ¡°Dad, drink this to satiate your hunger first. When you¡¯re done with the infusion, Lingchen can drive us out for lunch. The food in the hospital is terrible.¡± Old Master Ji looked at the bottle and coughed. ¡°Did you run out to buy some juice for me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°I also bought another packet of spicy junk food for myself.¡± Old Master Ji and Ji Lingchen knew that this little girl was lying. She had obviously gone there just to buy the juice. Old Master Ji was so touched that he took a sip. He was still thinking about the pastries he had eaten with his son. He thought back to some old memories, and without realizing it, he started to tear up. Fang Xiaonuan stopped eating snacks. She sat on the sofa and looked at her father-inw¡¯s IV setup in boredom. Ji Lingchen saw that she was sitting quite ufortably, so he stretched out his arm and hugged his wife. He let her nuzzle into his arms. Fang Xiaonuan did not act pretentious. Instead, she leaned closer to her husband and really leaned against his chest. ¡°Hubby, after Dad finishes his IV treatment, let¡¯s go eat at Shuxiang Garden!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°What, are you craving?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°However, the food there is very expensive. I can¡¯t bear to spend money on it. You have money, so we can spend your money.¡± Ji Lingchen started chatting with his wife. ¡°Silly girl, isn¡¯t what¡¯s mine yours?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s different. Even though we¡¯re one now, I still feel like I didn¡¯t spend any money whenever you paid for something.¡± Ji Lingchen said dotingly, ¡°Alright, you can order whatever you wantter. I¡¯ll pay.¡± After a pause, he asked again, ¡°Before you married me, didn¡¯t you have money?¡± As far as he knew, although the Fang family was not a big family, their annual profit was not low. If she wanted to go to Shuxiang Garden for a meal, it would have been easy. Fang Xiaonuan answered without thinking, ¡°I have money, but I can¡¯t bear to spend it. I would always ask my father to take me out to eat, but he was always busy. He had to socialize and talk about corporate matters, so he did not have time to apany me. And my mother has never been extravagant. asionally, she would apany me. My brother was not home. It¡¯s too awkward to go alone. So, I rarely do.¡± Ji Lingchen thought to himself, ¡®So that¡¯s why.¡¯ It was because his wife was not willing to spend her own money. However, she loved to spend other people¡¯s money. Coincidentally, he was very rich. After Ji Lingchen heard his little wife¡¯s words, he said bluntly, ¡°In the future, do whatever you want to do. If you¡¯re not willing to spend your own money, you¡¯ll need to get a receipt. When you get home, your husband will reimburse you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Fang Xiaonuan raised her head and looked up at her husband. Her eyes were filled with surprise as she sought confirmation. ¡°Of course. In the future, thepany will add a new ount ¡ª the exclusive ount of the CEO¡¯s wife.¡± After Ji Lingchen finished speaking, Fang Xiaonuan hid her face shyly in his embrace. The poor patient, who was lying alone on the hospital bed, experienced a moment of regret. ¡®Why did I have to facilitate this marriage and let them act like this in front of me?¡¯ Before this, they were both unwilling to get married. He was the one who had threatened them. They only became a couple in the end. Now, this pair was tantly showing off their love in front of a patient, not caring about his feelings at all. Old Master Ji hated this young couple. An hourter, the nurse came to remove the needle. This also meant that Old Master Ji was relieved. After the needle was removed, he immediately chased the annoying couple out of the ward. ¡°Hey, Dad, why are you kicking us out?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was pushed out of the ward, followed closely by Ji Lingchen.

Old Master Ji mmed the door shut with a bang. It was finally quiet. As expected, he could not see that the couple was in a good mood! Five minutester, Old Master Ji slowly walked out of the ward and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go and eat.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked up in confusion. Old Master Ji had already changed his clothes. He even washed his face and fixed his hair. She asked in a low voice, feeling guilty, ¡°Hubby, do you think we forgot to get some water for dad to wash his face?¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned and did not say a word. Old Master Ji deliberately told the doctor where to go and the doctor gave him a few words of advice. Then, Ji Lingchen brought his father and wife to the restaurant, Shuxiang Garden. Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Shuxiang Garden. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the restaurant¡¯s signboard and her eyes were scrunched up in a smile. ¡°I want braised prawns, sea cucumber with gravy, smoked chicken, roasted abalone with salt, grilled corn with cheese, braised lion¡¯s head¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan started to mutter the names of the dishes before even entering the restaurant. Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up when he heard that. His little wife was really a foodie! Just as he entered the restaurant, the manager of the restaurant greeted him with a smile and said, ¡°CEO Ji, wee to our restaurant. What special dishes do you want to eat today?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not for me. It¡¯s for my greedy little cat who wants to eat. I specifically brought her here to satisfy her cravings,¡± Ji Lingchen said lovingly as he gazed at Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan walked over unhappily and hugged the man¡¯s arm. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you call me a greedy cat at home, but why would you say that about me here? You¡¯re embarrassing me! Hmph!¡± Seeing his wife¡¯s embarrassed and angry expression put the man in a good mood. He said softly, ¡°Got it, wife. I¡¯ll only call you that at home from now on.¡± Ji Lingchen had always had a serious reputation. He had never spoken to anyone with such a pleasant expression. Today, the manager of Shuxiang Garden was actually lucky enough to see Ji Lingchen¡¯s tender side. He was also shocked by Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words. Could it be that this little girl in front of him was Ji Lingchen¡¯s rumored wife? Everyone in the upper-ss circles knew about Ji Lingchen¡¯s marriage. He was only a hotel manager and did not have the qualifications to attend the wedding. However, the people who came to Shuxiang Garden to eat were either rich or noble. He always overheard guests¡¯ discussions about Ji Lingchen¡¯s marriage, so he knew a little about it. When he saw this young woman, he took a second nce. Ji Lingchen noticed the restaurant manager¡¯s gaze, and his expression darkened. He said unhappily, ¡°Have you seen enough?¡± Aftering back to his senses, he hurriedly said in a panic, ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m sorry, CEO Ji. I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Ji. I was being rude.¡± Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard someone¡¯s stomach growl. The sound came from Old Master Ji¡¯s stomach. He said somewhat angrily, ¡°We¡¯re here to eat. How long do you want us to stand here?¡± ¡°Old Master Ji, CEO Ji, Mrs. Ji, this way please.¡± The experienced man hurriedly invited the three of them to sit down. Ji Lingchen¡¯s appearance attracted the attention of many guests. Most of them were from the upper-ss circles, so they naturally knew Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen did not have the time to pay attention to the gazes of the people around him. His attention waspletely focused on the ¡°greedy little cat¡± beside him. Fang Xiaonuan kept pulling on his finger, and she shifted her weight impatiently. It looked like she was chasing after Ji Lingchen, but in fact, she could not keep up with Ji Lingchen¡¯s pace and was desperately chasing after him. He was holding her hand tightly, so she could not help but grumble to herself, ¡°Being led by my husband is really tiring!¡± When they arrived at their seats, the three of them sat down one after another. The ce they were seated at was a spectator stand on the third floor. If they sat there and ate, they could have a clear view of all the downstairs scenery. This was the best spot in the entire restaurant. The manager had deliberately led them here. Every time Ji Lingchen came to the restaurant, he would sit here. ¡°Wow, isn¡¯t this ce beautiful? This is my first time sitting here!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said excitedly. After saying that, she leaned against the railing and took in the beautiful scenery downstairs. Seeing that half of his daughter-inw¡¯s body was over the railing, Old Master Ji shouted worriedly, ¡°Nuannuan, move back a little. If you go any further, you will fall and be a pancake on the floor!¡± ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m an adult, I¡¯ll be careful!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied with a smile. He sighed. ¡°Then, why are you still acting like a child?¡± Old Master Ji muttered. The manager overheard the conversation and thought to himself, ¡®Old Master Ji really cares about his daughter-inw!¡¯ ¡°CEO Ji, should we still serve your regr orders?¡± the manager asked. Ji Lingchen shook his head, picked up the menu, and said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, stop ying. Quickly,e and order.¡± Chapter 102 - Chance Encounter

When Fang Xiaonuan heard that they were going to order, she immediately ran over and leaned against Ji Lingchen. She leaned against his side and when she saw the menu, her eyes lit up. She pointed at a fish and said, ¡°Hubby, I want to eat this!¡± Ji Lingchen nodded at the manager, and the manager quickly noted it down. Ji Lingchen patiently flipped through the menu while his wife ordered. Suddenly, she paused, seeming to have realized something. ¡°Bring some of this soup for Dad. Dad¡¯s stomach isn¡¯t good.¡± ¡°Okay, order this for yourself, hubby. And this. You like subtle dishes. This would suit you.¡± ¡°I love meat. Order two more meat dishes¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan mumbled as she ordered. Ji Lingchen looked at her serious expression and chuckled. ¡°When did you learn my tastes?¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged Ji Lingchen¡¯s arm and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m your wife. How can I be considered a wife if I don¡¯t even know this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was right. He liked subtle dishes, and he disliked food that was too oily or salty. However, very few people knew about this. His own family had yet to realize it, yet his new wife had picked up on it. He could not fight his answering smile and his mood instantly lifted. Fang Xiaonuan ordered a total of six dishes and a soup. Ji Lingchen hurriedly stopped her from ordering more dishes, or else she might have ordered dozens more. Fang Xiaonuan said unhappily, ¡°Hmph, hubby, we have enough, but there are still so many delicious dishes we haven¡¯t ordered.¡± Ji Lingchenforted her. ¡°Be good. Next time, you¡¯ll get the chance to order again.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked, ¡°When will that be?¡± ¡°As long as it¡¯s not today, any day is fine. We cane here whenever you want,¡± Ji Lingchen promised. ¡°Okay, got it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the manager obediently and reminded him, ¡°Please ensure that there isn¡¯t any chili in any of our dishes!¡± After checking the orders, the manager left. After the manager left, Ji Lingchen put his arm around Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s waist and asked, ¡°Is this your first time eating upstairs? Haven¡¯t you and dade up here before?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded and replied, ¡°Dad didn¡¯t bring me here. When I ate here with my family, we just sat in the lobby downstairs.¡± Seeing that Ji Lingchen did not understand, she exined, ¡°Dad said that the upstairs seating is for business discussions. He said that the family would find the downstairs seating morefortable.¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°That sounds reasonable. I¡¯ll try sitting in the lobby next time.¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked and felt annoyed. ¡®I¡¯m so stupid. Why did I have to run my mouth like that?¡¯ However, it did not matter where they sat. She would be happy as long as they could eat delicious food. After a while, the news that Ji Lingchen was eating at Shuxiang Garden spread. It was said that he had brought his wife along. A few minutester, many people came to greet Ji Lingchen, iming that it was a chance encounter. When they saw Fang Xiaonuan, everyone asked, ¡°This must be Mrs. Ji, right?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the girl who was leaning on him obediently and introduced her with a smile, ¡°This is my wife, Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan would also greet those people with a smile. She was graceful and she was not shy. This calmness made Old Master Ji very satisfied. Although this girl was sometimes childish, she was still very courageous. She was not petty at all. He thought of the first time he had met Fang Xiaonuan. Although she deliberately pretended to be ugly, her temperament and the look in her eyes had already set her apart from ordinary people. Thinking of this, Old Master Ji took a sip of tea and nodded in satisfaction. He seemed to be very satisfied with the tea, and he also seemed to be satisfied with his daughter-inw. After the acquaintance left, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s expression returned to normal. She opened her big, sparkly eyes and said, ¡°Hubby, I feel that these people aren¡¯t here by chance. What do you think?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ji Lingchen replied casually, reaching out to stroke Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hair. His actions were meticulous and serious, like he was stroking his beloved pet. A momentter, a waiter began to serve the dishes. Several steaming dishes were ced on the table. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. She said, ¡°Dad, let¡¯s eat. This all smells so expensive!¡± Old Master Ji could not help butugh. ¡°Doesn¡¯t it smell good?¡± ¡°Yes, it smells really good! That must be why it¡¯s so expensive.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan picked up a whole prawn and stuffed it into her mouth. The prawn meat was fresh, sweet, and tender. She only chewed a few times, then hurriedly swallowed it. Then, she quickly scooped up arge mouthful of cheese and corn and stuffed that into her mouth. Instantly, a sweet and rich fragrance filled her mouth. She squinted and said, ¡°Wow, it¡¯s too tasty. Hubby, try it! It¡¯s very delicious!¡± Ji Lingchen smiled dotingly, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating as well. Chapter 103 - The Baby Was Angry

But none of them noticed that there was someone staring at them from the opposite corner of the building. Lin Qian¡¯s phone was in her hand as she watched Fang Xiaonuan enjoy her meal. After a while, the call went through. She said, ¡°Cousin, I saw that woman¡­¡± Twenty minutester, an uninvited guest arrived. ¡°Lingchen.¡± Lin Rou appeared in front of everyone pitifully. When she heard the voice, Fang Xiaonuan looked up and saw this ¡°weak¡± woman again. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s expression darkened. Last time, this woman deliberately tried to sow discord between her and her sister-inw. She had not forgotten her hostile nature. She did not expect this woman to actually right up to them. Fang Xiaonuan put down the chopsticks and said, ¡°Miss Lin, why did you say my husband¡¯s name?¡± ¡°I need to see him.¡± Lin Rou had an aggrieved look on her face. As she looked at Ji Lingchen, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like she had suffered a great injustice. Pretending to be pitiful again? Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. Did this woman think that by pretending to be pitiful, she could win a man¡¯s heart? That might have worked with an ordinary man, but her husband was from the Ji family! Ji Lingchen only had eyes for Fang Xiaonuan. He did not even look at Lin Rou. He just looked down and stayed silent. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it to me. My husband hates you and doesn¡¯t want to talk to you.¡± Seeing that Ji Lingchen was ignoring her, Lin Rou looked at Old Master Ji. Old Master Ji did not say anything. He appeared to be ignoring her too. Ji Lingchen did not seem to see Lin Rou at all as he continued to put food on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s te. Lin Rou did not give up and asked again, ¡°Lingchen, can youe over here for a moment? I have something to tell you.¡± Seeing that she was pestering her husband, Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. She simply clutched her stomach and pretended to be in pain, eximing, ¡°Ah!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Xiaonuan?¡± Ji Lingchen immediately asked with concern. Old Master Ji also looked at his daughter-inw worriedly. He thought to himself, ¡®Could she have gastroenteritis too?¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan nced at Lin Rou¡¯s reaction and deliberately said to Ji Lingchen in a coquettish manner, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s probably just the baby kicking.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Hearing this caused Old Master Ji to spit out his tea. He started coughing non-stop. Did he hear wrongly? Baby? Where did the babye from? Fang Xiaonuan saw that Old Master Ji was coughing and hurriedly asked, ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Old Master Ji waved his hand and coughed a few more times before finally stopping. Fang Xiaonuan angrily red at Lin Rou and said, ¡°Miss Lin, my father-inw clearly isn¡¯t feeling well in your presence. How can you still have the nerve to stand here?¡± Old Master Ji, thought, ¡®I¡¯m not feeling well?¡¯ Lin Rou¡¯s face was ashen. She forcefully suppressed her anger and said to Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°I¡¯ll leave soon, but I have something to tell Lingchen. I¡¯d like to talk to him alone.¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes at her, then pulled Ji Lingchen¡¯s hand and ced it on her stomach. She said in a childish voice, ¡°Hubby, the baby was probably angry. You can¡¯t meet up with another woman and leave your wife and baby alone!¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned. The baby was angry? His wife actually dared to say that. ¡°Okay, I got it. I¡¯m not going anywhere,¡± Ji Lingchen promised. After saying that, he put his hand above hers and moved it lower. He reminded her in a low voice, ¡°Honey, the baby is here. That was the stomach just now.¡± ¡°Oh, okay,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied without changing her expression. Then, she continued to calmly caress her lower abdomen. Lin Rou¡¯s face turned furious. She stared at Fang Xiaonuan fiercely, as if she wanted to pounce on her and kill her. Seeing Lin Rou¡¯s reaction, Fang Xiaonuan was very satisfied. She said to her proudly, ¡°If you have something to say, say it quickly. Just say it here. After you say it, get lost. If you don¡¯t want to say it here, then get lost!¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, do you really want me to say it here?¡± Lin Rou said, biting her lip. Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯re full of lies. Our entire family has to be on guard against you. You¡¯re just a viin!¡± Lin Rou¡¯s blood was boiling. Before she could say anything, she had already been called a viin. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s stomach and mocked her. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s full of lies, right?¡± ¡°Me? Why don¡¯t you ask my husband and father-inw if I¡¯m lying? Also, do you think they want to hear what you have to say?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied provocatively. She wanted Lin Rou to know that even if she, Fang Xiaonuan, lied, her family would believe her. However, even if Lin Rou told the truth, no one would be willing to listen to her. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I still haven¡¯t settled the score with you for hitting sister-inwst time!¡± Lin Rou said. Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly stood up and strode in front of Lin Rou. She raised her hand and pped her. Lin Rou was stunned by the p and did not react for a moment. Ji Lingchen was also stunned. Old Master Ji waspletely shocked. He did not expect that his daughter-inw would actually make a move. Chapter 104 - Vent Your Anger

The sound of the p was very loud. The surrounding customers all heard it and looked in their direction at the same time. Lin Rou¡¯s face was burning. She took several huge steps forward and wanted to pounce on Fang Xiaonuan. She wanted to push her over the railing of the third floor. Ji Lingchen quickly stood up and stepped in front of his wife. He stopped the crazy Lin Rou and pushed her against the ss. Lin Rou¡¯s face was aggrieved. She pointed at Fang Xiaonuan and cried, ¡°She¡¯s a demon, Lingchen. Don¡¯t be deceived by her appearance!¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan stepped out from behind her husband. She did not say anything. Instead, she raised her hand and hit the other side of Lin Rou¡¯s face. This time, she used all her strength, and her palm was slightly red. Fang Xiaonuan said coldly, ¡°If you didn¡¯t mention my sister-inw, I would have cared about your pride and not embarrassed you. But you actually were bold enough to bring that up. Don¡¯t me me for embarrassing you!¡± ¡°This first p was on sister-inw¡¯s behalf. You deliberately tried to sow discord between sister-inw and me, causing many misunderstandings in our rtionship.¡± ¡°This second p was for myself. There was no special reason. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Who asked you to be so immoral? You always covet my husband. I don¡¯t like you, so I had to p you twice to vent my anger!¡± ¡°My husband said that Mrs. Ji doesn¡¯t need to act reasonably!¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchen did not feel angry because of his wife¡¯s rudeness. Instead, he wore a smile on his face and looked at his wife dotingly. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you were clearly the one who took everything that belonged to me!¡± Lin Rou said through gritted teeth. Old Master Ji said, ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. Mrs. Ji¡¯s position was never yours to begin with. Our family would rather let Lingchen be single for the rest of his life than allow a woman like you to enter the Ji family!¡± ¡°Mr. Ji, why? Why?¡± Lin Rou asked as she cried. She had stayed by Ji Lingchen¡¯s side for fifteen years. Could it be that she failed to get the Ji family¡¯s approval? ¡°Why? Even with sister-inw¡¯s background, she could enter the Ji family. Why can¡¯t I? In these fifteen years, I have never done anything wrong. Why can¡¯t I?¡± Old Master Ji coldly snorted and said, ¡°Hmph, you don¡¯t have a good character.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had just finished pping her up. She was extremely happy. She thought to herself, ¡®What¡¯s wrong with sister-inw¡¯s background? Wasn¡¯t she the daughter of the Feng family? Why did she listen to Lin Rou, someone who clearly looked down on her background? Father-inw had also mentioned this morning that I was different from sister-inw and that I don¡¯t know how to take care of others. Sister-inw was also a daughter, so why would father say that?¡¯ Ji Lingchen had made his stance clear to Lin Roust time, but he did not do it in front of his wife. Therefore, he said again, ¡°I¡¯ll say it again. There is no rtionship between us. Everything you see is from your own imagination. The fifteen years you mentioned, to me, is only the fifteen years we¡¯ve known each other. I owe your family a favor, and the Ji family has long since repaid it. If you still insist on pestering us and trying to sow discord between our families, I definitely won¡¯t go easy on you. Go back and tell your father that the Ji family and the Lin family aren¡¯t old friends!¡± Ji Lingchen and Old Master Ji¡¯s attitude was already very clear. Lin Rou could only leave with a red and swollen face and a broken heart. Lin Qian, who was waiting downstairs, saw her cousin¡¯s state and asked in surprise, ¡°Cousin, how did you end up like this?¡± Lin Rou wiped away her tears and said hatefully, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I¡¯m not done with you!¡± On the third floor, after Lin Rou left, Fang Xiaonuan returned to her seat. She was very happy, and she suddenly thought of something to ask her husband. ¡°Hubby, what did you just say about owing the Lin family a favor? And what about sister-inw¡¯s family background? Why does Lin Rou seem to look down on sister-inw? And how did she know that we were eating here? Hubby, you¡¯ve known her for fifteen years, and you really feel nothing for her?¡± Hearing this, the father and son looked at each other. Neither of them directly answered Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s question. Ji Lingchen smiled as he drew closer to his wife. He reached out and stroked her soft hair. ¡°What else could I feel for her?¡± Fang Xiaonuan interrogated him. ¡°Haven¡¯t the two of you ever eaten alone, watched a movie alone, or shopped together?¡± Old Master Ji said disdainfully, ¡°The Ji Corporation keeps him very busy. How could he have so much time to do these boring things?¡± Chapter 105 - Half-hour-old Son

Chapter 105: Half-hour-old Son

Fang Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. It made sense. Her father had once said that Ji Lingchen would work for the whole 24 hours a day if he could. He was a workaholic. Ji Lingchen looked at her t stomach. He put his hand on it and asked, ¡°Mrs. Ji, how old is my son?¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. She looked at her husband and chuckled. ¡°He¡¯s half an hour old!¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned. Then, he asked, ¡°He can kick people when he¡¯s half an hour old?¡± Fang Xiaonuan made up a story. ¡°Yes, he is squirming. And it feels like he¡¯s kicking me!¡± Ji Lingchen couldn¡¯t help butugh. He really couldn¡¯t do anything to this little wife of his. ¡°Xiaonuan, tell me the truth. Do you usually have such a hot temper?¡± Old Master Ji thought for a long time and asked. He had seen many fights in his life, but he was still shocked by the scene of his daughter-inw rushing up and hitting someone. Thinking about it, when she first joined the Ji family, the atmosphere in the house was always tense. Fang Xiaonuan pouted and replied, ¡°No, Dad. I¡¯m usually sweet and quiet. I¡¯ve never fought before. I have a very gentle temper. My younger brother is always afraid that I¡¯ll be bullied, so he¡¯s always by my side to protect me!¡± Old Master Ji looked at his petite daughter-inw. She was indeed soft and sweet and did not seem to have a bad temper. ¡°Then I should be overthinking it,¡± Old Master Ji muttered. ¡°That¡¯s right, Dad. Even if you¡¯re overthinking it, look at how docile and sweet I am. How could I have a bad temper?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said as she hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her father-inw. Ji Lingchen smiled faintly at his wife from the side and did not say anything. If he remembered correctly, his little wife had beaten up many people! But he didn¡¯t expose her. So what if his little wife had a fiery temper? Girls had to have the ability to protect themselves. Otherwise, if they were bullied and didn¡¯t know how to fight back, his heart would ache. in any case, as long as his little wife was docile in his arms, it would be fine. When the meal was almost over, the three of them began to chat. Actually, it was Fang Xiaonuan and Old Master Ji who were chatting. Ji lingchen only listened from the side and rarely contributed to the conversation. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Dad, why do you like me and not Lin Rou?¡± Old Master Ji smiled and replied, ¡°Xiaonuan, your skin is getting thicker. When did I say that I like you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan retorted, ¡°I know you like me. Otherwise, why would you want me to be your daughter-inw? We hadn¡¯t even met a single time before!¡± Old Master Ji said casually, ¡°Because you¡¯re more infuriating than her!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. Ji Lingchen lowered his head and did not say a word. No one could see that he had a gorgeous smile on his face. What his father said was right. His little wife was indeed very good at infuriating people. Fang Xiaonuan was panting heavily. She deliberately moved all the meat in front of Old Master Ji to her side and said, ¡°Hmph! Dad, if you don¡¯t answer me properly, I won¡¯t let you eat any of the meat!¡± Old Master Ji pretended to be angry and said, ¡°Hey, you little brat! My son spent money to buy this!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said unwillingly, ¡°Hmph! My husband bought this!¡± Old Master Ji pointed at Ji Lingchen and said, ¡°This is my son! He¡¯s my biological son!¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly hugged Ji Lingchen¡¯s arm tightly and said, ¡°This is my husband! He¡¯s my biological husband!¡± Neither of them was willing to admit defeat. They looked at Ji Lingchen and spoke at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m the one who will apany you until you¡¯re old!¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°I¡¯m the one who gave life to you!¡± Ji Lingchen was silent. In the long run, it was better for him to be on his wife¡¯s side! After all, if he really was too old to walk and had to sit in a wheelchair, he would still need his wife to push him around. Thinking of this scene, he felt that it was quite good to be together until he was old. ¡°Xiaonuan is right!¡± Ji Lingchen firmly supported his wife. Old Master Ji was furious and scolded him. ¡°What an unfilial son!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was overjoyed and kissed her husband¡¯s cheek. A smile appeared on Ji Lingchen¡¯s face. He could not hide it. Before leaving the hospital, the doctor had instructed that Old Master Ji should not eat too much. Seeing that Old Master Ji was almost done eating, Fang Xiaonuan had deliberately said those words to stop him from eating more. After sitting for a while, the three of them left the restaurant. It was already three in the afternoon. Ji Lingchen nned to use the time when his father was in the hospital to arrange for a full-body checkup for his father. When they returned to the hospital, the doctor had already written out all the checkup forms. When Ji Lingchen went to get the checkup forms, the doctor asked, ¡°What did Old Master Ji eat for lunch?¡± Ji Lingchen told the doctor about all the food they had had for lunch. After the doctor heard him, he smiled and said, ¡°CEO Ji, you¡¯re really filial. For Old Master Ji¡¯s health, you really put your heart into it!¡± Chapter 106 - Sweet Dreams

Ji Lingchen didn¡¯t understand what the doctor meant. He looked at the doctor in a daze. The doctor continued, ¡°I¡¯m talking about these dishes. All of them are good for the patient¡¯s health.¡± Ji Lingchen finally reacted. He thought of something and asked, ¡°Then can my dad drink fruit juice?¡± ¡°Of course. Drinking fruit juice can effectively replenish water and vitamins. But be careful. Don¡¯t let him drink milk,¡± the doctor replied. Ji lingchen nodded, indicating that he understood. He remembered that when his wife went out to buy water, she had deliberately asked for warm fruit juice instead of warm milk. She must have done a lot of research in advance. After all, hot fruit juice was not very easy to buy. Back in the ward, Ji Lingchen saw his wife chatting passionately with his father. Both of them were very happy. It seemed that as long as she was around, his father would not be bored at all. Her little head seemed to have endless interesting things to talk about. ¡°Really? You¡¯re bringing me along?¡± Old Master Ji asked in surprise. Fang Xiaonuan nodded affirmatively and said, ¡°Of course, Dad. I¡¯ll bring you along with my brother. We always go to that ce. We¡¯re very familiar with it.¡± Old Master Ji was as excited as a child. He just said yes. At this time, Fang Xiaonuan noticed Ji Lingchen at the door and quickly asked, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re back. What did the doctor say? Where should we take Dad now?¡± Ji Lingchen held a stack of checkup sheets and said, ¡°We can do whichever item on the list first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan helped Old Master Ji get off the hospital bed. The husband and wife took Old Master Ji to do a physical check-up. However, Ji Lingchen was very busy at this time. On the way to the check-up, he received five calls, all of which required him to make decisions. ¡°Put this matter on hold for a while. Wait for me to go back to thepany to deal with it,¡± Ji Lingchen replied calmly. Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband had hung up the phone and asked, ¡°Hubby, if you¡¯re busy, you can go to thepany first. I can take care of Dad by myself.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s fine,¡± Ji Lingchen said calmly. How could ji Lingchen bear to let his wife take care of the old man alone in the hospital? Fang Xiaonuan replied considerately, ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much about Dad. When Dad quarreled with me earlier, he didn¡¯t even pant. It¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s fine now.¡± Old Master Ji felt that his daughter-inw¡¯s words were a little unpleasant, but his health was indeed much better now. He said, ¡°Go back to the office, Lingchen. Xiaonuan can stay here and chat with me. You cane back to pick her up at night.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. Ji Lingchen did not listen to the two of them. Instead, he put down his phone and continued to help his father to the examination room. The afternoon sun was bright and dazzling. It shone through the window onto the marble in the corridor. The long bench seemed to have lost its color. Fang Xiaonuan sat on the bench with her eyes closed, quietly enjoying the warmth of the sun. She was a little tired. Ji Lingchen, who was sitting at the side, saw his wife¡¯s dazed look and asked gently, ¡°Are you sleepy?¡± Fang Xiaonuan opened her eyes gently and yawned uncontrobly. ¡°A little.¡± Ji Lingchen pulled his wife into his arms. ¡°Lie down for a while. Dad¡¯s examination isn¡¯t that fast. It¡¯ll take at least twenty minutes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan leaned against her husband¡¯s body and closed her eyes to rest. Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone didn¡¯t ring again but kept pouring in messages. He held his wife with one hand and replied to the messages with the other. After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the two quietly snuggled together under the sun. Their backs seemed to be coated with ayer of warm yellow light. The corridor was very quiet, and everyone seemed to be tired. Fang Xiaonuan only wanted to take a short nap, but she actually fell asleep in her husband¡¯s arms. She slept very deeply and seemed to have had a beautiful dream. In the dream, she and her husband were nting a tree. She didn¡¯t know what tree it was, but the two of them seemed to be very happy. Her joy in the dream was transmitted to reality, and sheughed out loud. Ji Lingchen heard the sound and looked down. Seeing his wife¡¯s raised lips, he asked softly, ¡°Did you dream of something happy?¡± ¡°Yes, Hubby¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan called out to him softly, but she did not wake up. Ji Lingchen smiled even more happily. ¡°Did you dream of me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not answer. She smacked her lips and continued to sleep. Ji Lingchen no longer had the mood to work. He put down his phone and quietly observed his wife¡¯s sleeping self. His wife¡¯s eyelids were as smooth as a painting. Her skin was as soft as a newborn baby. There was even ayer of fine hair on her face. Her lips were pink and alluring. They were supple and soft like peaches. He was tempted to take a bite. Chapter 107 - White Mouse

Ji Lingchen swallowed. He knew that his wife¡¯s lips were a hundred, even a thousand times sweeter than the sweetest peach. He reached out to put his hand through his wife¡¯s long hair. He sniffed it and smelled a faint fragrance. He discovered that he liked every part of his wife. He liked her appearance, her voice, her smell, her hot temper, and even the way she hit people. He held his wife¡¯s hand and squeezed it. It was soft, as if there were no bones. He was really happy to have such a wife. Not only did she understand him, but she also cared about his family. She even prioritized his father¡¯s health. She took the time to learn about it, and when ordering food, she ordered many dishes for him and his father. Her actions warmed his heart. But even so, she never asked for credit. If he had not found out by chance, he would not have known that his wife had quietly put so much effort in. ¡°Xiaonuan?¡± Seeing that it was almost time, Ji Lingchen gently woke her up. Fang Xiaonuan, who was sleeping soundly, did not hear her husband¡¯s voice at all. Ji Lingchen lowered his head and gently kissed the top of her head. He did not keep trying to wake her. Not long after, Old Master Ji¡¯s checkups ended and Fang Xiaonuan woke up. She seemed to have treated the hospital corridor as her home. She slowly emerged from the enclosure of her husband¡¯s arms. She sat up and stretched. ¡°It¡¯s sofortable here!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back,¡± Old Master Ji said. Ji Lingchen then stood up, took his wife¡¯s soft hand, and returned to the ward. Two hours had passed by now. Ji Lingchen went straight to the doctor¡¯s office. He wanted to understand his father¡¯s physical condition. Fang Xiaonuan stayed in the ward with Old Master Ji and said, ¡°Dad, look at how filial my husband is!¡± Old Master Ji was also very emotional. This was the first time he got to experience having his son be by his side when he was sick. ¡°Yes, Lingchen is a filial child,¡± Old Master Ji said. ¡°Although my husband can be cold, he is actually a person with intense feelings. He cares a lot about his family, but he is not good at expressing it,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with a smile. Old Master Ji nodded in agreement. His daughter-inw¡¯s words flowed directly into his heart like a warm stream. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s sweet smiling face and finally understood why that person wanted to marry her off to his second son. At this point, Ji Lingchen returned, but he soon left again. When he returned again, there was a hot water bottle in his hand. He walked to the bedside. He poured a cup of hot water for his father and said, ¡°The doctor told you to drink more hot water. Tomorrow, you will receive another day of infusions and you will be discharged the day after tomorrow. Once you¡¯re home, you must listen to the doctor and remember not to eat whatever you want. You are too old to eat like a kid. You must take care of your stomach. Otherwise, you will suffer in the end.¡± Although his words sounded cold, they actually held a lot of worry and concern. After pouring the water, he put cup of hot water beside the bed. He nned to let it cool before reminding his father to drink it. That night, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji came to visit. When Old Master Ji saw his eldest son and daughter-inw, he was very happy. He quickly said, ¡°Feng Qi, you¡¯re finally here. You can stay here with me tonight. Quickly tell these two to leave. These two don¡¯t know how to be caretakers. If it weren¡¯t for my good fortune, I would not have been able to experience an ounce of peace today.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily, ¡°Dad, you¡¯re exaggerating. It¡¯s not as scary as you say. You make it sound like my husband and I are abusing you.¡± ¡°I do hope to be abused by you. It¡¯s better than being treated as ab rat, right?¡± Old Master Ji said with disdain. Feng Qi asked in confusion, ¡°Xiaonuan, what¡¯s going on?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and had to exin what happened in the morning. She said, ¡°Ugh, actually, my husband and I forgot¡­¡± Hearing that, Old Master Ji added, ¡°Of course, she forgot about it. She wanted me to have another injection¡­¡± The more Old Master Ji spoke, the more agitated he became. Feng Qi paused and frowned. ¡°I see. Actually, your brother and I have rested enough. We¡¯ll take care of Dad tonight. The two of you can go home and rest.¡± ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t make us go. Lingchen and I have already discussed it. We have to apany Dad today,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with heartache when she recalled how her sister-inw¡¯s eyes looked when bloodshot from exhaustion. That night had been the most tiring. Her father-inw needed an infusion and someone had to keep an eye on him. At that time, her brother-inw and his wife took care of her father-inw. No matter what, they could not be allowed to stay here today. Chapter 108 - Fang Xiaonuan’s Words

Chapter 108: Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s Words

Old Master Ji waved his hand anxiously and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, I know that you¡¯re a filial child. I understand your good intentions. You don¡¯t have to stay here. The two of you can head home first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said resolutely, ¡°No, intentions are illusory. I want you to feel true filial piety!¡± ¡°Besides, you have two sons. You can¡¯t let brother-inw and sister-inw do everything. People who don¡¯t understand your bond with them will think you¡¯re biased and that you take advantage of them. How does that make Lingchen and I look?¡± ¡°No matter what, I am your daughter-inw who just joined the family. My reputation matters a lot, you know? I also want everyone to know that we have a good rtionship!¡± Hearing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words, everyone in the wardughed. Although these words sounded simple, they made everyone feel at ease. They also understood that the second son would also want to take care of his father when he was sick. They were both willing to take care of him. Feng Qi felt warm when she heard this. Fang Xiaonuan had said that her father-inw had a good bond with them and that it was invisibly improving their rtionship. Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. His wife¡¯s words were exactly what he wanted to say. Old Master Ji was the happiest. These words made everyone¡¯s hearts feel at ease. Not only did they avoid the impending fight between sister-inw and brother-inw, but it also mitigated any me. If he still refused, it would indeed be a little unreasonable. Old Master Ji hedged, ¡°But, Lingchen is too busy.¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly said, ¡°He¡¯s not too busy to take care of his father. No matter how important work is, it¡¯s not as important as you!¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I can¡¯t beat you. Since you insist on staying, then stay. Your older brother and sister-inw should rest well. They were too tiredst night,¡± said Old Master Ji. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s n seeded. She proudly blinked at her husband. Ji Lingchen helplessly smiled, but his eyes were full of affection. He was liking his wife more and more. Mayor Ji and Feng Qi sat in the ward for a while. Old Master Ji took the initiative and said, ¡°There has never been a person like Xiaonuan in our family. Once she opens her mouth to argue, no one can beat her. Even Lin Rou could not hold a candle to her.¡± Hearing this, Feng Qi¡¯s interest was immediately piqued. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, tell me, what did you do to Lin Rou today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan casually replied, ¡°Nothing much. I just pped her twice.¡± Feng Qi worriedly asked, ¡°What about you? Are you okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sister-inw. I¡¯m fine. With my husband and Dad by my side, she won¡¯t dare to do anything to me.¡± Feng Qi still felt that her sister-inw had acted too rashly. Fang Xiaonuan smiled andforted her, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m usually very gentle.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Feng Qi expressed her disbelief. ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t you believe that? My husband often says that I¡¯m a kitten,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Ji Lingchen smiled and said, ¡°Yes, a wild cat who scratches can cause a lot of pain!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, how can you say that about me¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°We¡¯re not strangers. What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pretended to be angry and pushed her husband¡¯s shoulder, saying, ¡°You¡¯re such a bad guy!¡± The ward was filled withughter and joy. It was gettingte. Feng Qi and her husband had now left for the house. In the end, only the three of them were left in the ward. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her father-inw¡¯s reluctant gaze and said, ¡°Dad, stop looking. No matter how hard you look, big brother and sister-inw won¡¯t be able toe back.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say I wanted them toe back,¡± Old Master Ji replied helplessly. This was the first time he had been in the same room with his second son for such a long time, and now it was suddenly a little awkward. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind was very sharp. She noticed the subtle atmosphere between her father-inw and her husband. She rolled her eyes, then she thought of a good idea. She said, ¡°Dad, hubby, I thought of something. Wait for me.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Ji Lingchen had just gotten the words out when his little wife disappeared. When Fang Xiaonuan came back, she had a deck of cards in her hand, some snacks, and beer. Ji Lingchen frowned and asked, ¡°Who did you buy the beer for?¡± Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, I bought it for you.¡± Of course, she also bought two cans for herself. Hearing this, Ji Lingchen immediately lost his temper. He saw something else and asked, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Poker cards! It¡¯s so hard being here at night, can we not y for a while?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. After saying that, she threw all the snacks on the bed and pulled out the chair beside it. She shouted to her hubby, ¡°Hubby,e and sit!¡± Chapter 109 - Slip of the Tongue

Ji Lingchen walked over, sat down, and asked, ¡°What do you want to y?¡± He had thought that his wife wanted to y some high-level card games, but Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Old Maid or Fight the Landlord? You choose.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless for a moment. He coughed a few times and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, have you been to a casino?¡± Fang Xiaonuan blurted out, ¡°Underground or legitimate? Gambling or swordsman slots?¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Have you been to all of these?¡± ¡®Oh no, it slipped out!¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan felt uneasy and quickly said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve only seen them on TV. I¡¯ve never been to any of them.¡± Ji Lingchen obviously did not believe her and asked again, ¡°Then have you been to a casino where they y cards?¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly shook her head and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m not allowed to go. My father forbids it.¡± ¡°Yes, your father is right.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded in agreement. His little wife was still young, so how could she go to such ces? There were all kinds of people, and it was very dangerous there. After saying that, he took out a deck of cards and put it in his palm. Then he looked at his father and asked, ¡°Do you know how to y Fight the Landlord?¡± It was not that he liked to y Fight the Landlord, but this was the first time he had heard about Old Maid, so, Fight the Landlord was the only option. When Old Master Ji saw the poker cards, he suddenly became excited. He seemed to be full of fighting spirit and said, ¡°Of course, I know how to y. When I was young, I was already an expert. Almost no one could beat me.¡± After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to y. ¡°Xiaonuan, tell me, what should the winner¡¯s prize be?¡± Old Master Ji said. Fang Xiaonuan frowned and thought carefully. She could not y with money. She would feel bad if she lost. After thinking for a long time, she said, ¡°Dad, why don¡¯t we y with stickers? The winner will put a sticker on the loser¡¯s face.¡± Old Master Ji felt a little bored and said with disdain, ¡°Stickers are for children. We used to y with money. Stickers are too boring.¡± Fang Xiaonuan retorted, ¡°Ugh, Dad, we¡¯re family. Win or lose, it¡¯s our family¡¯s money. That¡¯s what makes it boring, okay?¡± ¡°Just say that you¡¯re too poor to y with money!¡± Old Master Ji said, seeing through his daughter-inw¡¯s lie. Fang Xiaonuan made a face at Old Master Ji and said, ¡°Hmph, who says I¡¯m not rich? Just you wait. Dad, my husband will open a special ount for me, for the wife of the CEO. When the timees, I¡¯ll use my money to smash you!¡± Ji Lingchen listened to their bickering as he shuffled the cards. He felt a rare sense of peace in his heart. Perhaps life could be so simple. On ordinary days, he could chat with his family and gossip. ¡°Hubby, why are you so good at shuffling cards? Don¡¯t tell me that you spend a lot of time shuffling cards for other people?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said enviously when she saw her husband¡¯s shuffling skills. Old Master Ji snorted coldly and said, ¡°Hmph, if CEO Ji is ying cards, who would be brave enough to let him shuffle the cards?¡± Fang Xiaonuan stared straight at her husband¡¯s hands. In order to let his little wife watch for a while longer, Ji Lingchen shuffled the already shuffled cards again. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, you look really handsome when you¡¯re shuffling cards. Can you teach me?¡± ¡°How handsome?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband¡¯s face in admiration and said coquettishly, ¡°Super handsome, especially handsome. Please teach me, I beg you.¡± Ji Lingchen waved his hand and said, ¡°Alright,e and sit. I¡¯ll teach you right now.¡± ¡°Hey! Have you two had enough? Are you here to apany me or to show off your love?¡± Old Master Ji shouted angrily. ¡°Aren¡¯t you here to y Fight the Landlord with me? Now, you only want to shuffle the cards. You also want to teach her on the spot. If you don¡¯t want to y, you can go home and teach her whatever you want. Don¡¯t be an eyesore for me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan knew that Old Master Ji was angry and quickly said, ¡°Ah, dad, we were wrong. Please don¡¯t be angry.¡± Ji Lingchen also immediately ced the cards on the bed and said, ¡°Dad, grab the cards first.¡± When Old Master Ji saw that they were finally going to y, he finally calmed down and began to y. Twenty minutester, Fang Xiaonuan had three stickers on her face and Old Master Ji had two on his face. Only Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was clean and still as handsome as ever. He calmly held the cards in his hand as if everything was under his control. In fact, that was the case. He had never lost a game. Old Master Ji grumbled unhappily, ¡°I missed a king just now. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have won.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Yeah. If I had yed a king just now, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to win.¡± The two of them had formed a united front. After losing, they discussed in detail what went wrong. They were both filled with regret. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, did not say much. He focused on studying the cards in his hand to see how he could win. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s card ying skills were very poor. Old Master Ji thought he was a master, but his son beat him each time. He could not win at all. Chapter 110 - Understanding the Situation

Fang Xiaonuan had caught a winning king in this round, but she still failed to win in the end. Fang Xiaonuan was angry that she lost. She shouted, ¡°Hubby!¡± Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was throwing a tantrum, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He tore off a strip of toilet paper, dipped it in water, and stuck it on her face. In order to prevent the strip of paper from falling off, he even deliberately pressed on it. ¡°Did you admit your mistake?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. He had been winning cards all this time so that his wife would regret not being on his side. Fang Xiaonuan blinked in confusion and asked, ¡°Admit my mistake?¡± What did she do wrong? However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that¡­ She suddenly realized that it was because of what she had said just now. Previously, there was a game where Ji Lingchen called thendlord. Old Master Ji¡¯s cards were very good, and he wanted to call, but he was still hesitant. Fang Xiaonuan advised, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t call this game. The two of us are on the same side. You¡¯re going to lead me to a victory!¡± So in the end, Ji Lingchen had the winning hand. Fang Xiaonuan was a little helpless. So, he was mad because of this. Just because she said that she was on his dad¡¯s side? Seeing his wife¡¯s shocked expression, Ji Lingchen poked her little face and said, ¡°It¡¯s your own fault for not reading the situation well. Pay attention. Otherwise, there¡¯s no way you can win.¡± Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue. She quickly spread her arms and pounced on her husband, acting coquettishly. ¡°Hubby, I was wrong. Next time, I¡¯ll definitely be with you. Dad¡¯s skills are too poor.¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡­ You¡¯re a fence-sitter!¡± Old Master Ji said angrily. Ji Lingchen reluctantly epted Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s disy of weakness, but his smile had long revealed his inner joy. ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to a poker game next time,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°Okay, okay. Hubby, you¡¯re really good to me. Oh right, quickly go and ce a sticker on Dad. Let him be a white-bearded old man,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with a mischievous smile. At that moment, the nurse pushed open the ward door. When the young nurse entered and saw what was happening, she said in a flustered manner, ¡°CEO Ji, I¡¯m here to take Old Master Ji¡¯s blood pressure.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly got up and helped Old Master Ji back to the bed. Then, she made way and said, ¡°Alright,e over and check his blood pressure.¡± The young nurse timidly walked over and found that there were several stickers on Old Master Ji¡¯s face and the girl¡¯s face. They looked very funny. She held back herughter and thought to herself, ¡®It¡¯s a good thing that I¡¯m wearing a mask. Otherwise, they¡¯d find out that I¡¯mughing. However, this family seems very harmonious. They get along very well.¡¯ After a short while, she was done taking his blood pressure. The nurse looked at the reading and asked doubtfully, ¡°Why is his blood pressure higher than it was in the afternoon?¡± Old Master Ji said angrily, ¡°It must be because of these two little b*stards!¡± After saying that, he even rolled his eyes at the two of them. The nurse looked at Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan who were standing off to one side and said, ¡°CEO Ji, Mrs. Ji, the patient¡¯s body is recovering. Try not to let his emotions fluctuate too much. Otherwise, it¡¯s not good for his health.¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything but he nodded. After sending the nurse away, Fang Xiaonuan looked at Old Master Ji, who was fuming on the bed. She looked at her husband and said, ¡°Hubby, I think it¡¯s better for me to be on Dad¡¯s side. Only then will I have a chance of winning.¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Could it be that she already knew that he would lose to his father on purpose, so she wanted to be on his father¡¯s side? That was exactly what Fang Xiaonuan was thinking. Her husband was a slow learner. No matter how much he cared about her father, he would not say anything nice. He would only use actions to express it. The nurse¡¯s words were already unambiguous. Therefore, she was certain that her husband would lose on purposeter on. That way, Old Master Ji would be in a better mood. Sure enough, when they yed again, Old Master Ji won three rounds in a row. Fang Xiaonuan was eating french fries. She looked at the cards in her hand and then looked at Old Master Ji. She said, ¡°Dad, how many four-of-a-kinds do you have?¡± No one could counter Old Master Ji¡¯s four kings, so he yed two three-of-a-kinds. This time, Ji Lingchen did manage it, but Old Master Ji was clearly not panicking. He definitely had something big in his hands. Fang Xiaonuan simply closed the cards and focused on eating her french fries. ¡°Four aces,¡± Old Master Ji said excitedly. As expected, he had a winning hand. Seeing that Old Master Ji¡¯s cards were getting fewer and fewer, she simply gave up ying. She would win anyway. At this time, Old Master Ji only had two cards left in his hands. Fang Xiaonuan guessed that it was a pair. However, after waiting for a long time, Ji Lingchen still did not y the king. He seemed to have given up struggling. Sure enough, Old Master Ji mmed thest two cards on the bed and shouted excitedly, ¡°Kings!¡± After saying that, he pped. He had been winning for the past few rounds. The cards in his hands were simply heaven-defying. He had won too quickly. Ji Lingchen ced the cards in the pile and waited quietly for his father and wife to ce a sticker on his face.

Old Master Ji did not show any mercy to his own son. As he stuck the sticker, he mocked him. ¡°I¡¯ll just stick one under your nose. When you breathe out, the note will fly up.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless at his own father! Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband¡¯s handsome face from the side and admired him intently. He was so handsome from every angle. Where should she stick it? Suddenly, she met her husband¡¯s gaze. Her heart instantly stopped beating. It was as if the tenderness in her husband¡¯s eyes was like a vast ocean. She was drowning in it. She waspletely bewitched by her husband and hadpletely forgotten where she was. ¡°Hey, Xiaonuan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and find a ce to put the stickers. After that, we can continue ying!¡± Old Master Ji urged. He was very happy with his win and wanted to take advantage of his good luck to win a few more rounds against that rascal. ¡°Have you seen enough?¡± Ji Lingchen said in a low voice, the corners of his mouth still holding a smile. Fang Xiaonuan came back to her senses and scolded herself. ¡®Oh my God, I was so engrossed in watching my husband just now. If this gets out, people willugh at me.¡¯ In the end, she casually ced the sticker on her husband¡¯s face. Her face was slightly red as she returned to her seat. She continued eating her snacks and ying cards at the same time. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes, four.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Yes, two.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you¡­¡± Old Master Ji said proudly, ¡°Haha, I knew you would not be able to counter. Three kings and two fives.¡± Ji Lingchen immediately put down his cards and said, ¡°Pass.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly lost interest in the potato chips she was eating. Was she going to win without ying a single card? She had barely touched the cards this time. ¡°Dad, you¡¯re so good! Let me y too. Let me do something,¡± Fang Xiaonuan prompted. Old Master Ji¡¯s love for his daughter-inw swelled in an instant. He smiled and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll will give you a chance to y a card. A queen.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the cards in her hand and said helplessly, ¡°I can¡¯t¡­¡± Old Master Ji said with disdain, ¡°What cards have you been ying? Don¡¯t y anymore. I¡¯m about to win.¡± After saying that, Old Master Ji threw the cards in his hand onto the bed. ¡°Straight again, hahaha!¡± Fang Xiaonuan ced her hand on her chin, looking gloomy. There was something wrong with these cards. There must be something wrong. Otherwise, why would her father-inw¡¯s cards be so good every time? Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at her husband who was shuffling the cards. Could it be that he had tampered with the cards? It must be! Even if he had deliberately let her father-inw win, it was impossible that he got such good cards every time. The cards must have been tampered with during the shuffling. Fang Xiaonuan watched her husband¡¯s hands carefully as he shuffled the cards, but after looking for a long time, she still could not see anything. ¡°Hubby, let me shuffle the cards,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, and then she reached out to grab the cards. Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows. His wife was really smart. She had guessed his trick. Ji Lingchen reached out to hand the cards to his wife and asked, ¡°Do you know how to shuffle?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t need you to shuffle the cards,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily. Ji Lingchen did not say anything else. Instead, he picked up the half-eaten bag of chips and ate a few. He opened a can of beer and took a sip. The beer was ice-cold and delicious. It tasted great. Fang Xiaonuan munched on the chips as she got ready to shuffle the cards. Then, she saw her husband drink the beer. She said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, let me have a sip.¡± Ji Lingchen pretended not to hear her and ignored her. Fang Xiaonuan continued to act coquettishly. ¡°Please, hubby, just a sip, just a small sip. I¡¯m thirsty from eating all the snacks.¡± Ji Lingchen helplessly handed the beer over and said, ¡°Only a sip.¡± Fang Xiaonuan held the beer in her two small hands and brought it to her mouth. She tilted her head back and started to drink. Just as Ji Lingchen began to imagine kissing his wife, he heard his wife burp and say, ¡°Hubby, I identally drank all the beer.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who had finished more than half of the can in one go, looked at Ji Lingchen guiltily. Ji Lingchen was speechless. How had she done that identally? She was clearly doing it on purpose! However, as he looked at his wife¡¯s big innocent eyes, he could only suppress all the anger that had boiled up. What could he do? He could not bear to me her, so he could only endure it. After that, Ji Lingchen did not let Fang Xiaonuan drink beer. Fang Xiaonuan was only allowed to eat the snacks. Ji Lingchen drank the rest of the beer. Old Master Ji, meanwhile, won every game of cards. After a while, the young nurse came to check his blood pressure again and found that Old Master Ji¡¯s blood pressure was still high Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Dad has already won so many rounds, why is his blood pressure still high?¡± The young nurse exined helplessly, ¡°Being too emotional will also cause your blood pressure to rise.¡± The husband and wife were instantly speechless. They could not lose, nor could they win. They had also finished eating the snacks and drinking the beer. Fang Xiaonuan threw her cards down. ¡°I¡¯m not ying anymore!¡± Chapter 112 - Buying Medicine

Old Master Ji had not had enough fun yet, but neither of them wanted to keep ying with him anymore. In addition, it was gettingte, so both of them wanted to let Old Master Ji sleep. Ji Lingchen put away the cards. He sat on the sofa and started reading a document on his phone. Fang Xiaonuan rested her head on her husband¡¯s leg and yed with her phone. An hour passed quickly. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly put down her phone and cried out in pain, ¡°Hubby, my stomach hurts¡­¡± Ji Lingchen had not finished reading the documents. He thought that his wife was about to act coquettishly again, so she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did the baby kick you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little face was red. She hurriedly sat up, and she suddenly felt something warm between her legs. It was her period. She did not bring anything! Fang Xiaonuan quickly crossed her legs and went to the bathroom. After she came out, she rushed to the nurses¡¯ station. After a while, she returned to the ward with a pack of sanitary pads. Ji Lingchen looked at what Fang Xiaonuan was holding and finally understood what his wife was doing. A few minutester, Fang Xiaonuan came out again. Shey back on the sofa and curled up. Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was frowning and that her face was pale. Could it be that she had lost too much blood? ¡°Xiaonuan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ji Lingchen asked worriedly. Fang Xiaonuan waved her hand weakly and said, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t talk to me first. I need to rest for a moment.¡± ¡°Does your stomach hurt?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan nodded reluctantly and said weakly, ¡°I feel like a big rock has fallen onto my stomach. Even breathing hurts.¡± She did not even have much strength to speak. She seemedpletely different from the energetic girl she had been a moment ago. Ji Lingchen saw his wife¡¯s ufortable expression and touched her head with heartache. There was actually ayer of sweat on her forehead. It looked like it was really painful. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s physique was not very good. She always failed to pay attention to her menstrual cycle. She would have menstrual cramps if she ate something spicy or cold. However, she did not expect the pain to be so severe here in the hospital. She kept taking deep breaths, but the pain did not ease at all. She was in so much pain that she was about to cry. She whimpered pitifully and sobbed. ¡°I won¡¯t dare to eat ice cream, snacks, cold beer, and french fries anymore.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife who was curled up into a ball. He was no longer in the mood to work. When he saw his wife clutching her stomach with her small hands, he quickly rubbed his hands together to generate some warmth and put them on her stomach. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s stomach felt warm. Her eyes were misty as she said, ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Ji Lingchen was suddenly at a loss. He quickly pulled his hand back and grabbed a pillow for his wife toy down on. He said, ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± Ji Lingchen left the ward. He stood in the corridor and typed in a string of words. He typed ¡°What should I do if my wife has menstrual cramps? What should I do when I have menstrual cramps?¡± Twenty minutes passed quickly, but Ji Lingchen still had not returned to the ward. Fang Xiaonuan was in so much pain that she was about to copse. She wanted to get some hot water to ease the cramps, but the pain was so severe that she could barely move. At that moment, Ji Lingchen returned with a bag in his hand. Seeing that his wife had already sat up, he asked, ¡°Why are you suddenly up?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m in too much pain. I want to get some hot water.¡± Old Master Ji had already fallen asleep. The two of them spoke softly and did not wake him up. Ji Lingchen helped his wife lean on the sofa and opened the bag. The bag was filled with medicine. He took out two painkillers and a thermos cup. Fang Xiaonuan did not understand what her husband wanted to do, so she asked, ¡°Hubby, what¡¯s wrong? Why do you need to take the medicine?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife and said, ¡°Open your mouth.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was already in pain, but she was still concerned about her husband. ¡°Hubby, I didn¡¯t steal anything. What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Ji Lingchen had no choice but to pull Fang Xiaonuan into his arms. He reached out and put the medicine in her mouth. ¡°Be good. Eat the medicine.¡± Fang Xiaonuan finally understood. ¡°Oh? This medicine is for me?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s for pain relief. It can relieve menstrual cramps.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two small pills in her husband¡¯s hand. She felt warmth in her chest. Her nose started burning and tears filled her eyes instantly. Her husband had gone out just now to buy medicine for her. It was sote. The pharmacy had closed long ago, so he would have had to go to many ces to find this medicine. In fact, she hadpletely forgotten that she was still in the hospital, and the hospital had all kinds of medicine. At this moment, she was only immersed in how moved she was. She was gazing at her husband with deep affection. Chapter 113 - Private Matters

Ji Lingchen was nervous when his wife looked at him this way. He had only done a very small thing. How could his wife be so touched? He blew on the drink in the thermos and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, have the medicine first. Be good.¡± Fang Xiaonuan obediently opened her mouth. Ji Lingchen put the medicine into her mouth and handed the thermos to her. He said, ¡°Lie down. I¡¯ll go get you some hot water.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan had the medicine, shey on the sofa obediently. Her period was probably making her emotions very vtile. At this moment, she was also teary-eyed. After a while, Ji Lingchen returned. He borrowed a hot water bag from the nurse and filled it up with hot water. He had looked it up. The Inte said that if you had menstrual cramps, you should drink more hot water and use heat packs to warm your stomach. You must not touch cold things and foods that were too stimting, such as cold beer and spicy snacks. He sat beside his wife and gently ced the hot water bag on her lower abdomen. Her husband was so attentive that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face had be so red. She could feel a pair of eyes staring down at her, but she did not dare to raise her head to look at him. Ji Lingchen helped his wife hold the hot water bag. The hot water in it quickly took effect, and Fang Xiaonuan was already feeling much better. Ji Lingchen took the nket next to him, unfolded it with one hand, and covered his wife with it. Fang Xiaonuan could not care less about the pain. She was filled with the satisfaction of being cared for by her husband. ¡°Xiaonuan, didn¡¯t you know that you would get your period today?¡± Ji Lingchen asked gently. Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and nodded. ¡°I always forget the date.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°The 20th. You have to remember that you are not allowed to secretly eat ice cream, drink ice-cold things, and eat snacks when you go home. Don¡¯t eat them for now. You can have them again in a few days.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded obediently. Now that she was in so much pain, she was not in the mood to eat snacks. Every month, she would forget the day of her period. Before her period came, she would always want to drink ice-cold things. It was really hard to remember. Only when the pain was killing her would she swear not to eat these things. After the period was over, she wouldpletely forget the pain of menstrual cramps. Under thebined effects of the painkillers and the hot water bag, Fang Xiaonuan actually fell asleep. Her head was on Ji Lingchen¡¯s thigh. Ji Lingchen caressed her little face gently. She was sleeping really soundly. The usually noisy little person was actually so quiet now. He was the only one awake in the ward. No insects or birds were chirping outside. He took advantage of this moment to gently bend down and kiss his wife¡¯s supple, pristine lips. ¡°I seem to like you more and more¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said softly. ¡­ The next day, Mayor Ji and Feng Qi arrived at the hospital early in the morning. Feng Qi woke Fang Xiaonuan who was on the sofa and told the couple to quickly go home to rest. Ji Wen also came over. He saw the weak Fang Xiaonuan and teased her. ¡°What did you two dost night? Why are you so tired?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was pale, and she did not have the strength to answer. The painkiller had long lost its effect, and her stomach had begun to hurt again. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Your aunt is not feeling well.¡± Ji Wen then asked seriously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What hurts?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with difficulty, ¡°Nothing. It¡¯s normal.¡± Ji Wen immediately understood what was going on. He quickly said, ¡°I¡¯ll be your moral support for the next few days. Good luck!¡± As he said that, he made a cheering gesture. Ji Lingchen frowned. He sized up his nephew and wife. Why did his nephew immediately understand the situation when his wife only said, ¡®It¡¯s normal¡¯? Why couldn¡¯t he react in time? Could it be that they had often talked about this subject before? Why would his wife tell his nephew about such private matters? After letting his imagination run wild, Ji Lingchen ended up jealous. Either way, his big brother and sister-inw were already here. He had to bring his wife home as soon as possible. On the way back, Ji Lingchen intentionally or unintentionally asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, you and Ji Wen have a good rtionship, right? Do you talk about everything?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. She did not think her husband was acting strange. She was in so much pain that she did not have the time to think about anything else. Ji Lingchen¡¯s frown deepened. He continued, ¡°The past is the past. But now that you are his aunt, there are some private matters that you can only talk to me about. Don¡¯t tell anyone about it, right? Especially Xiaowen. You are older than him.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not answer her husband. She just said in a spoiled voice, ¡°Hubby, my stomach really hurts¡­¡± Chapter 114 - Jealousy

Ji Lingchen did not bother to ask any more questions and quickly replied, ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll drive quickly now. When we get home, quickly lie down and I¡¯ll rub your stomach.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sobbed and said, ¡°Okay¡­¡± When they got home, Ji Lingchen fed his wife some medicine and then carried her back to the room. He ced her on the bed and covered her with the nket. He half leaned on the headboard and reached under the nket to rub his wife¡¯s stomach. After being tucked into the nket, Fang Xiaonuan felt much better. She said in a childish voice, ¡°Hubby, your hands are really strong. I won¡¯t feel any pain after you rub my stomach.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You want me to rub your stomach so badly, but that¡¯s not enough.¡± ¡°Oh, then it¡¯s because you¡¯re very handsome. My stomach likes handsome guys, so it won¡¯t hurt anymore,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Hearing this, Ji Lingchen¡¯s mood became much better. Since he was young, many people had said that he was handsome. However, not only was he indifferent about it, but he felt disgusted. He always felt that a man¡¯s ability was much more important than his looks. Therefore, he did not like others to praise his appearance. However, he loved listening to his wife¡¯spliments. ¡°Tell me the truth. Other than praising me for being handsome, who else have you praised?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. He had never cared about his appearance, but now he really wanted to know who else his wife had called handsome. It was said that women could be narrow-minded, but when men were jealous, they were even pettier. Fang Xiaonuan looked up at the jealous man and asked softly, ¡°Hubby, are you jealous?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not jealous.¡± Ji Lingchen hurriedly denied it. Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue and got an idea. She said, ¡°Hubby, since you¡¯re not jealous, I¡¯ll tell you. I¡¯ve praised many people for their handsomeness.¡± Hearing that, Ji Lingchen stopped what he was doing. Fang Xiaonuan smiled as she looked into her husband¡¯s eyes which were gradually filling with anger. She continued, ¡°I¡¯ve also praised many people for being rich, for their good figures, for their beautiful, and tall figures.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s mood was getting worse. A certain someone continued to tease him. ¡°Hubby, would you be jealous if I praised others?¡± Ji Lingchen still refused to admit it. ¡°No.¡± Fang Xiaonuan tilted her head and asked curiously, ¡°But, hubby, why do I feel that there¡¯s something wrong with your eyes?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Have you really praised many men?¡± Fang Xiaonuan continued to make up nonsense. ¡°Of course, I¡­¡± Ji Lingchen kissed her to stop her from continuing. He was not jealous, but he wanted to eat her up! Fang Xiaonuan had no hope of escaping. She was already weak and could not push her husband away. She wanted to exin, but his mouth was right on hers. She could not speak at all. It was really infuriating! ¡°H-hubby, um, I¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan tried to speak for a long time, but she could not even finish a sentence. She could only give up struggling. She simply closed her eyes and began to respond to her husband¡¯s overbearing kiss. She even deliberately bit his lips lightly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s mind instantly buzzed. Desire surged in his heart. He let go of his wife and looked at her red, kissed lips. ¡°Give me the names of all the men you¡¯ve praised.¡± ¡°Hubby, what do you want?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked guiltily. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°I want to hear about all the men my wife has praised.¡± ¡°Ji Lingchen!¡± Fang Xiaonuan called his name as she looked into his eyes. Ji Lingchen was stunned and asked, ¡°Why are you calling me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said again, ¡°Ji Lingchen!¡± Ji Lingchen was confused. ¡°Huh?¡± Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°Ji Lingchen, Ji Lingchen, Ji Lingchen¡­¡± Ji Lingchen was mesmerized by his wife calling his name. He did not respond and just quietly listened to his wife¡¯s voice. After calling out his name countless times, Fang Xiaonuan finally said, ¡°The only man I¡¯ve praised is my husband, Ji Lingchen. You should go and admire him!¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have understood something and asked, ¡°So, you were lying to me just now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan held back herughter and said, ¡°Yes, my husband is a big idiot!¡± His wife¡¯s bright eyes seemed to contain the brilliance of the Milky Way. They sparkled, causing Ji Lingchen to be involuntarily intoxicated. He kissed his wife¡¯s lips once again, savoring the way she tasted. Fang Xiaonuan was angry now. She said intermittently, ¡°Ugh, you¡­ I¡­ I already said it¡­ I only praised¡­ You, why are you still¡­ jealous and kissing me¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m not jealous!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hmph!¡± Ji Lingchen warned her, ¡°However, you¡¯re only allowed to talk to me when ites to private matters. No matter how close you are with someone of the opposite sex, you are not allowed to talk about private matters with them, and especially not with Ji Wen!¡± Chapter 115 - The Clever Butler

¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and muttered, ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s obviously jealous, but he still refuses to admit it. What a stubborn man.¡± Ji Lingchen heard his wife¡¯s words and pretended not to hear anything. He continued to rub her stomach. With the help of his gentle hands, Fang Xiaonuan quickly fell asleep, tuckedfortably under the nket. She subconsciously turned around and crawled into Ji Lingchen¡¯s arms. Ji Lingchen was very satisfied with his wife¡¯s subconscious movements. However, he had wasted an entire day¡¯s work yesterday and had to work overtime at thepany today. He could no longer apany his wife, so he quietly got out of bed. After cing the nket over his wife, he reluctantly left the house. It was noon when Fang Xiaonuan woke up. When she opened her eyes, she did not see her husband. She got off the bed and went straight to her husband¡¯s study. When she pushed open the door to the study, there was no one inside. There was no sign of her husband. ¡°Hubby?¡± Fang Xiaonuan called out tentatively, but there was still no response. She went downstairs again. When the maids saw her, they greeted her and asked, ¡°Young mistress, do you want to eat now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan put her hands on her hips and asked, ¡°Have any of you seen my husband?¡± The maid replied, ¡°After you fell asleep, the second young master went to the office. Before he left, he told us not to disturb your sleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sighed and grumbled with heartache, ¡°Sleep well before you go to work. You didn¡¯t have much rest yesterday.¡± The housekeeper heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s distress and quickly said, ¡°Young mistress, the second young master also went to the office without eating.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Huh? He didn¡¯t eat?¡± Her heart ached even more. She no longer had any appetite. With a bang, a loud sound came from the initially quiet dining room. It was the sound of Fang Xiaonuan putting down the cutlery. The maid saw that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mood was not right, so she asked carefully, ¡°Second young mistress, have you finished eating?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She pointed at a few dishes and said, ¡°This dish, this dish, and this dish, pack them all up. Use an insted lunch box.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± The maids looked at each other, not knowing what she wanted to do. The butler understood what she meant and quickly ordered, ¡°Quickly go and get a disposable insted lunch box. Pack up the dishes that the second young mistress pointed to immediately.¡± The maids said, ¡°Yes sir.¡± The maids quickly brought the lunch box over and began to pack up the food on the table. The butler asked considerately, ¡°Second young mistress, do you want me to prepare the car for you now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the butler and smiled. ¡°I finally understand why they are only maids and you are the butler.¡± The butler smiled so wide that the area under his eyes was scrunched up. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I will have to trouble you. Help me prepare the car now. You know where I¡¯m going.¡± The butler nodded and immediately left to do it. A few minutester, Fang Xiaonuan picked up the big bag of food and sat in the Ji family¡¯s private car. When the door was closed, Fang Xiaonuan even deliberately thanked the butler. If it weren¡¯t for the butler¡¯s reminder, she would not have thought of bringing food to her husband. The butler smiled in response. He truly liked this mischievous young mistress. The car quickly arrived at the Ji Corporation. At the door, there were still the same two receptionists. Fang Xiaonuan walked over and asked, ¡°Do I need to make an appointment to see CEO Ji?¡± One of the two receptionists came over and stuttered, ¡°Ma¡­ Ma¡¯am, you don¡¯t need to make an appointment.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in satisfaction and said, ¡°Yes, you have a good memory.¡± With that, she swaggered into thepany with the bag of food. No one stopped her at all. It was lunch break now. Many people had already eaten and returned to thepany, ready to get to work again. The elevator was full of people. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the CEO¡¯s private elevator at the side and muttered to herself, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to use it, right?¡± But in her mind, another voice told her, ¡®Fang Xiaonuan, wake up. Your rtionship with Ji Lingchen has only been good for a few days. Don¡¯t act rashly! This was apany, and it was a private elevator for others at work. Was It suitable for you to take it?¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan understood that, but there were too many people in the general elevator. ¡®I don¡¯t know how long I would have to wait.¡¯ That other voice in her head then said, ¡®If you¡¯re not afraid of being scolded, then go.¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment. However, after considering it, she started taking small steps toward the CEO¡¯s private elevator. When she reached the door, she decisively pressed the elevator button. In a few seconds, the elevator door opened. She quickly climbed in and pressed the button to close the door. Chapter 116 - Surprise

Fang Xiaonuan thought that as long as she moved fast enough, Ji Lingchen would not know how she got up. However, as soon as the CEO¡¯s private elevator started running, the surveince footage in the elevator would be disyed on Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone screen in real-time. The man saw his wife¡¯s figure appear on the phone screen, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The assistant noticed the CEO¡¯s expression and asked, ¡°CEO Ji, what did you see? Why are you in such a good mood?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Look at the kitten.¡± The assistant did not understand what the CEO was talking about. Ji Lingchen waved his hand and told the assistant to leave the office. Then, he leaned back in his chair and could not help butugh. It seemed that his little kitten missed him! He deliberately zoomed in on the surveince footage and carefully looked at his little wife¡¯s expression. In the elevator, Fang Xiaonuan nervously stared at the elevator numbers that were lighting up in session. She sighed and muttered to herself gloomily, ¡°If my husband asks why I¡¯m hereter, how should I answer him?¡± ¡°He won¡¯t be so narcissistic to think that I can¡¯t even eat without him, right?¡± ¡°I wonder what Ji Lingchen is doing right now. I didn¡¯t even call him to tell him that I wasing. Isn¡¯t that bad?¡± ¡°What if he¡¯s in a meeting right now?¡± ¡°What if he has a client in his office?¡± ¡°It¡¯s so annoying! I¡¯m just here to deliver food. Why do I feel so conflicted?¡± In his office, Ji Lingchen had turned the volume of the surveince app to the maximum when his little wife started talking. The smile on his face grew wider and wider. His little wife had actually brought him food and was still letting her imagination run wild. How adorable! Ji Lingchen¡¯s current mood could no longer be described as good. His current level of happiness would not waver. Even if someone suddenly told him that the Ji Corporation had gone bankrupt, it would not affect his current mood. In fact, he might even reply with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just bankruptcy. It doesn¡¯t matter!¡± Ding! The elevator arrived. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the floor. She had really arrived. She tiptoed out of the elevator. The surrounding employees looked at her in shock. Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. Why are these people looking at me? ¡°Madam?¡± Suddenly, someone recognized her and called out tentatively. Fang Xiaonuan quickly made a silent gesture and replied softly, ¡°Shh¡­ be quiet.¡± She did not want to rm Ji Lingchen right now, or else he would know that she had taken his exclusive elevator. The people in the CEO¡¯s office hurriedly shut their mouths, not even daring to breathe loudly. When everyone saw the bag in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand, they all understood that CEO Ji¡¯s wife definitely wanted to give him a surprise. The secretaries all nodded, indicating that they would cooperate with her and not spoil the surprise. Fang Xiaonuan quietly walked to her husband¡¯s office and gently knocked on the door. ¡°Come in!¡± A man¡¯s clear voice came from the door, and there was a hint of anticipation and joy in his voice. Fang Xiaonuan quickly pushed open the office door and poked her head in. She smiled and said, ¡°Hello, husband.¡± The man sat calmly in the boss¡¯s chair. When he heard the voice, he immediately stood up to wee her. He pretended not to know anything and asked, ¡°Why are you here? Did you sleep well?¡± Only then did Fang Xiaonuan carry the bag into the office and close the door. The secretaries outside the room were already bursting with curiosity, and they started discussing among themselves. ¡°Why do I feel that the madam is especially gentle today?¡± ¡°Yeah, I think so too. Last time, she came over to scold the CEO and scared me. I keep feeling that if I hear one more word, I¡¯ll be executed!¡± ¡°Could it be that Madam is here to apologize this time? She even brought a surprise, and her tone sounded like she was trying to curry favor.¡± ¡°Come to think of it, it¡¯s really possible¡­¡± The discussions outside continued, but the atmosphere inside was unusually sweet. Fang Xiaonuan sat on the sofa and took out the food in the bag like it was a treasure, cing them on the table one by one. ¡°Hubby, the butler told me that you came to work without eating. I thought, since I want to eat anyway, I might as well pack the food so that we can eat together. You¡¯re not upset, right?¡± Ji Lingchen helped to open the lid of the lunch box and replied, ¡°Why would I be?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°So you¡¯re not upset!!¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°But how did you get up here?¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment before she replied guiltily, ¡°I, I squeezed into the elevator with the employees. There were so many people.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled at her. ¡°Then you should have arrived up here long ago, right?¡± Chapter 117 - CEO Ji’s Cat

¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s just that, um, there were quite a lot of people. They stopped at every floor, and it did take some time.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was getting more and more guilty. She did not dare to look Ji Lingchen in the eye. Ji Lingchen was a little confused. He did not understand why his wife did not tell him that she came up in the private elevator. He asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, since there were a lot of people, why didn¡¯t you take my private elevator?¡± ¡°Huh? Can I take that? I thought that was for you only. I thought that I couldn¡¯t take it without your permission,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied in surprise. Ji Lingchen looked intently into his wife¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°In this world, only you can enjoy everything I have unconditionally without my permission.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was very touched and wanted to confess, ¡°Hubby, actually I¡­¡± Ji Lingchen interrupted her and said, ¡°Because you are my wife.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and did not speak. She felt ufortable because of her lie. Ji Lingchen handed over the chopsticks and said, ¡°So when youe here in the future, remember to use my exclusive elevator. Don¡¯t squeeze into the elevator with others anymore.¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly nodded. Ji Lingchen did not expose his wife¡¯s secret directly. He wanted to help her save face. Even if he knew that she was lying, he still had to believe that his wife had her own reasons for doing that. Thinking of this, Ji Lingchen suddenly felt that he had changed. Could love change a person¡¯s character? However, he did not panic because of the change. Instead, he felt very happy. While eating, he kept smiling. On the other hand, Fang Xiaonuan was feeling the opposite. She had been thinking about lying, and nothing tasted good. Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and they heard a familiar voice. ¡°CEO.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned to look at the door. Ji Lingchen put down his chopsticks and said, ¡°Come in!¡± The assistant pushed the door open and entered. He was carrying a stic bag filled with snacks. ¡°CEO, I heard that your kitten wasing. I realized that you didn¡¯t have any food for the cat, so I brought the snacks and cat food that I bought for my cat. You can feed it to your cat first.¡± With that, the assistant ced the bag of snacks on the floor of the office. When he raised his head again, he saw Fang Xiaonuan and quickly greeted her, ¡°Hello, Madam.¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and nodded at the assistant. Then, the assistant did not leave immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked around the office. He asked curiously, ¡°Eh? CEO, where¡¯s your kitten? Where is it?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze fell on the face of his little wife in front of him. She was small and had soft hair. She looked adorable. He looked at his wife and smiled. ¡°She¡¯s right in front of me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. She quickly looked up at her husband. Their gazes met. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart raced. After a while, she regained her senses and reached out to pat her husband¡¯s arm, she pouted and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say that I¡¯m a kitten!¡± The assistant was dumbfounded. His face turned red. He really did not know that the kitten he meant was his wife. This was too awkward. He looked down at the cat food on the floor and his mind went nk. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Take the cat food and snacks back. My cat is special, so she has to eat with me. She doesn¡¯t eat normal cat food.¡± Fang Xiaonuan patted her husband again and said angrily, ¡°Hubby, haven¡¯t you said enough!¡± The assistant did not dare to watch the CEO and his wife flirt anymore, so he quickly ran away with the bag of snacks. They were left alone in the office. Fang Xiaonuan put down her chopsticks angrily. She did not even eat. ¡°Hubby, you told everyone that I¡¯m your cat. You promised me that you wouldn¡¯t tell anyone! I¡¯m not your pet, I¡¯m your wife!¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°But because of you, I fell in love with cats.¡± His words made Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mood improve again. ¡°Why don¡¯t you get a cat as a pet?¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head and said, ¡°No, you¡¯re enough for me.¡± ¡°What if I¡¯m not around?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. ¡°Then I¡¯ll hate cats from now on,¡± Ji Lingchen replied seriously. ¡°So, don¡¯t leave me, understand?¡± He only liked cats while he liked her. If she left, then he would not like cats and he would not like her. This was the first time Ji Lingchen had said something so possessive. When Fang Xiaonuan heard this, her heart suddenly felt stifled. She asked, ¡°Hubby, has anyone left you before?¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned for a moment, but he did not answer. He did not want to lie to his wife, but he did not want to answer this question, so he could only choose to remain silent. Chapter 118 - Grandfather’s Bedsheet

Fang Xiaonuan understood that she had hit a sore spot with her question, so she did not press the subject. Instead, she quietly sat back down on the sofa and started eating. Then, she asked again, ¡°Hubby, then can you tell me, is the person who left you a man or a woman?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, whose tone had be cautious, and did not say anything. Fang Xiaonuan immediately knew the answer. She replied dejectedly, ¡°I understand.¡± Although she did not ask more questions, she was silently picturing the woman¡¯s appearance in her head. Fang Xiaonuan was so distracted during the meal that she did not even notice Ji Lingchen putting food in her bowl. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Nothing¡­ you wouldn¡¯t be happy if I told you.¡± Ji Lingchen chose to respect his wife and did not pursue the issue. After lunch, Ji Lingchen used his own cup to fill his wife¡¯s cup with hot water and asked, ¡°Did you get the medicine?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She knew that her husband was referring to painkillers. Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He pointed in the direction of the lounge. ¡°Go in and lie down to rest for a while. I¡¯ll go out and buy you another box of medicine.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, hubby. I¡¯m all better now.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was full of disbelief. ¡°It¡¯s true, hubby. I only have cramps on the first day. I¡¯m normally fine after that,¡± Fang Xiaonuan exined. She only had seven days of menstruation in a month. If the pain was severe every day, how could she bear it? Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s face and temporarily chose to believe her. ¡°Hubby, go and sleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You were busy taking care of me and Dadst night. You didn¡¯t sleep this morning and came straight to thepany. If this continues, your body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± Ji Lingchen saw the heartache in his wife¡¯s eyes. He looked at the lounge and said, ¡°In a while, I¡¯ll¡­¡± ¡°No, not in a while. Go now,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said domineeringly. Seeing that her husband had no intention of going, she simply walked over and put her arm around his waist, pulling him directly to the lounge. Ji Lingchen smiled helplessly and said, ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡± When the two of them arrived at the lounge, Fang Xiaonuan immediately saw arge clean bed. Beside the bed was an apricot-white door, and behind the door was the bathroom. The furnishings of the lounge were simple, but the color of the bed sheets was pure ck. She curled her lips in disgust. Ji Lingchen noticed his wife¡¯s expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? It doesn¡¯t look good?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My grandfather¡¯s bedsheets are even brighter than yours.¡± Ji Lingchen paused. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m old?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I think your life is too monotonous.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s go to sleep first.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan took off her shoes and sat by the bed. She looked at the dark bed and asked, ¡°Hubby, which side do you think I should sleep on?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Whichever is fine.¡± He walked to the front of the room, took off his coat, and hung it on the clothes rack. Then, he untied the tie around his neck. His wife suddenly came up behind him. She muttered, ¡°Hubby, your suit will wrinkle if you hang it like this. You have to hang it up.¡± As she spoke, she reached out her little hand and took off the man¡¯s suit jacket. Then, she hung it up. She even patted it a bit and brushed the lint off it. She sighed and said, ¡°You¡¯d really ruined such good clothes.¡± The man leaned against the cupboard and looked at his nagging little wife with interest. After hanging up the clothes, Fang Xiaonuan picked up the tie that the man had just taken off and nagged, ¡°You have to hang the tie properly too. Put it on the table and it¡¯ll be wrinkled in no time.¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly reached out to grab the woman¡¯s wrist and pulled her to his side. ¡°Such a virtuous woman. How about you take care of my clothes from now on?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head decisively. ¡°No, I¡­¡± ¡°What if I pay you?¡± Ji Lingchen quickly interrupted before she could finish refusing. ¡°Sure, no problem!¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly swallowed what she was about to say and answered straightforwardly. Ji Lingchen smiled and rubbed the girl¡¯s head. ¡°Little money-grubber.¡± Then, he carried the girl back to the bed. ¡°Honey, your bed is so hard.¡± ¡°Honey, your pillow isn¡¯tfortable either.¡± ¡°Honey, it¡¯s too bright. Close the curtains.¡± ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s a little cold. Turn up the temperature of the air conditioner.¡± ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was lying on the bed, never stopped talking.

Although Ji Lingchen liked to hear his wife saying, ¡°Hubby,¡± he kept being ordered to leave the bed again and again. In the end, he stood beside the bed and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, if you have any other concerns, tell me now. I¡¯lle back to bed after I¡¯m done fixing them.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat up and looked up at her tall and handsome husband. ¡°Yes, hubby, I¡¯m thirsty. I don¡¯t want to drink water. I want another drink.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°What else?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, help me get my phone too. It¡¯s on the table outside.¡± Ji Lingchen then said, ¡°Continue.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That¡¯s all for now.¡± Ji Lingchen walked out of the office. The lunch break was not over yet. The people in the CEO¡¯s office were still gathered in groups and chatting when they suddenly saw their CEOing out of the office. They were so frightened that they immediately returned to their seats and asked nervously, ¡°CEO, you¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Continue to rest. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± After saying that, he took his cup and went to the pantry. The head secretary thought that the CEO wanted to drink tea, so she quickly trotted after him, nning to make him tea. The head secretary said, ¡°CEO, do you want to drink Longjing or Pu¡¯er tea today?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the row of drinks in the vending machine and asked, ¡°What kind of drinks do young girls usually drink?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The head secretary was puzzled, but she realized that she had lost hisposure. She quickly asked, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, CEO. How old would the young girl be?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Twenty years old.¡± The head secretary immediately understood. It was not a little girl. It was clearly the CEO¡¯s wife who wanted a drink. The head secretary thoughtfully selected a peach-vored drink for Ji Lingchen and said, ¡°Your wife looks very young. She might like this sweet drink. The peach-vored drink should be suitable.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. His little wife was so pink and tender that she really looked like a pretty peach. ¡°CEO, do you want to add ice to the drink?¡± the head secretary asked. The image of his wife curled up in pain yesterday shed through Ji Lingchen¡¯s mind, so he said, ¡°No need for ice.¡± He did not want to see his wife so ufortable again, so he had to keep an eye on her during her period. He should not let her have anything cold. Ji Lingchen carried the peach drink back to the office. As soon as the CEO¡¯s figure disappeared, the people in the office immediately gathered again. They discussed the CEO¡¯s strange behavior and his new wife. The CEO¡¯s wife was not old, and she was beautiful. The CEO was outstanding, and he was handsome and rich. These two would definitely be the subject of discussion. However, those who worked in the CEO¡¯s office were capable and well-educated people. They were only instinctually curious. They would not discuss it endlessly nor would this affect their work. The requirements for working under Ji Lingchen were very strict. Therefore, the people in the CEO¡¯s office were picked after many rounds of filtering. They were considered elites wherever they worked. After entering the lounge, Ji Lingchen handed the drink to his wife. Then, he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and closed the curtains. After everything was done, he asked again, ¡°Think carefully. Do you have any other requests?¡± Fang Xiaonuan clutched the drink in satisfaction and said, ¡°No.¡± Even if there was, she would not dare to mention it. Otherwise, her husband would get angry. Ji Lingchen then got on the bed, picked up the nket, andid it on the bed. He was ready to let his wife sleep on top of it. Fang Xiaonuan quickly stopped him and said, ¡°Hubby, there¡¯s no need. Although the bed is a little hard, I can still fall asleep. It¡¯s good to sleep in a hard bed asionally.¡± In fact, she did not say that the bed was not a big problem. The pillow, however, was indeed too hard. It would be difficult for her to fall asleep on such a hard pillow. Ji Lingchen had already gotten into bed, but Fang Xiaonuan was still sitting there in a daze. Ji Lingchen looked at her, and the two of them looked at each other. Fang Xiaonuan thought to herself, ¡®If I say that I want to sleep on the sofa outside now, would my husband be so angry that he¡¯d throw me out the window?¡¯ The man could not hear the young woman¡¯s thoughts. He reached out and pulled the little woman into his embrace. Then, he pushed the pillow to the end of the bed and let her use his arm as a pillow. ¡°Sleep.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± With this new and warm ¡°pillow¡±, Fang Xiaonuany down obediently. But not long after, she was in the man¡¯s arms. She looked up at her husband who had closed his eyes and choked back the words she wanted to say. She had slept too much in the morning, so she was not sleepy at all right now. She just leaned against the man¡¯s chest and listened to his even breathing. After a long time, she asked in her baby voice, ¡°Hubby, are you asleep?¡± Chapter 120 - Mistake

Chapter 120: Mistake

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Speak.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m sorry. I made a mistake.¡± The man slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the little woman in his arms. He asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t squeeze into the elevator when I came earlier. I secretly took your private elevator.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice became softer and softer. She could barely hear herself saying the words ¡°private elevator¡±. The lounge suddenly fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan nervously waited for her husband to reprimand her. Unexpectedly, the man did not reprimand her. Instead, he asked, ¡°Then why are you suddenly telling me the truth now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan ced a palm over her heart and said, ¡°Because if I lie to you, I¡¯ll feel ufortable in here.¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchenughed. He did not reprimand her. Instead, he felt that she looked very cute. He touched the top of her head and said softly, ¡°Be good. I know. It¡¯s okay.¡± In the dim lounge, Ji Lingchen could feel that the little woman¡¯s body was still tense. He reached out to touch his wife¡¯s face and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. ¡°It¡¯s really okay.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Are you angry with me?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°I¡¯m not angry with you.¡± She looked up. Although she could not see the man¡¯s face clearly, she still looked at him and said, ¡°But I lied to you.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I know, but it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not know what to say. She lowered her head and slowly moved into the man¡¯s embrace. Ji Lingchen also turned his body sideways and hugged the little woman in his arms tightly. There was a smile on his lips. He wanted to sleep with his ¡°kitten¡±. After some time, Fang Xiaonuan woke up and was stunned. Her husband was long gone. She did not even know when she had fallen asleep. The lounge was very dark. She did not even know what time it was. She quickly found her phone and checked the time. Fortunately, it was only three in the afternoon. If she slept until seven or eight in the evening like this, she would be so embarrassed. After getting out of bed, she tidied up the lounge. Before she left, she even restored the original temperature settings of the air-conditioner and pulled open the curtains. She walked out of the lounge just in time to see her husband get angry. ¡°You¡¯re just going to use this little bit of data to brush me off? If you don¡¯t have the ability to do it well, then give up your position to someone else as soon as possible!¡± Fang Xiaonuan hid at the side and watched her husband¡¯s expression. It seemed that he was really angry. Ji Lingchen was reprimanding a middle-aged man. He looked very simple and honest. The middle-aged man stood in front of Ji Lingchen with his head lowered and did not move. He looked like a statue. He was too afraid of Ji Lingchen and did not dare to move at all. Ji Lingchen flipped through a few more pages of data. The more he looked, the darker his expression became. He simply threw the reports onto the ground in front of the middle-aged man. The reports were scattered all over the ground. A few of themnded on the middle-aged man¡¯s shoe. Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was still cold, and his entire body exuded a sense of oppression. He had been in a high position for many years, and his aura was far superior to that of an ordinary person. He looked at others with a measure of dignity that could not be ignored. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Pick it up and sit down again. Hand it to me tomorrow. If you want to keep brushing me off like this, just leave.¡± Only then did the middle-aged man move. He bent down in fear and apologized, his voice trembling. ¡°Yes, CEO. Yes, CEO.¡± With that, he picked up the reports on the ground one by one. Fang Xiaonuan immediately felt some sympathy for the middle-aged man. He was not young anymore and should be more than ten years older than her husband, but now he was being reprimanded like this. Without thinking, she quickly ran over and squatted down to help the man pick up the report. Ji Lingchen suddenly saw a small figure running over. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was his little wife. She was currently helping the middle-aged man pick up the reports. She even ran to a distance to pick up the reports that had drifted away. She straightened them up and handed them over to the middle-aged man. ¡°Thank you.¡± The middle-aged man bowed as he thanked her. When he raised his head again, he realized that the person in front of him was actually a young girl. He was stunned for a moment. He did not know why a little girl would be in the CEO¡¯s office. This little girl looked about the same age as his own child. However, due to his status, he did not ask. After all, this girl was not wearing a uniform, so she was obviously not an employee of thepany. She was probably someone important, someone that he should not gossip about. Fang Xiaonuan nced at her unhappy husband and said, ¡°I¡¯m his niece. You should go.¡± The middle-aged man turned around again and bowed to Ji Lingchen as another apology apologize. He also said that he would definitely hand in the report on time tomorrow. Only then did he leave the office. Chapter 121 - Not Being a Good Person

After the middle-aged man left, only the husband and wife were left in the office. Fang Xiaonuan had already sensed her husband¡¯s increasingly intense gaze, so she went up to him directly. The man who had a murderous aura just now waspletely different from the gentle husband from before. In that moment just now, it was as if she had transported to the time when the two of them had just gotten married. She did not like how bad his temper was. Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart was already filled with anger. Just now, he was interrupted by his wife, and the anger in his heart began burning even more intensely. He suddenly sat down on the boss¡¯s chair, and the chair creaked from the impact. ¡°Did you sleep enough? You don¡¯t even remember who I am?¡± Ji Lingchen asked in a low voice. His gaze had been fixed on this little wife who seemed to have no regrets about her actions. After so long, she still did not exin, so he could only speak first. Ji Lingchen did not know that his current behavior was a form ofpromise. Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said angrily, ¡°I just don¡¯t want that man to know that you¡¯re my husband.¡± Without a doubt, Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression turned even darker when he heard this. Clearly, he was even angrier. His eyes were pitch ck as he stared into his wife¡¯s eyes and waited for an exnation. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My husband should be the good-tempered, mild-mannered, reasonable, and extremely respectful Ji Lingchen. He¡¯s not someone who yells at his subordinates or throws things at people.¡± Huh? His little wife wasining that he was too harsh on his subordinate just now. Fang Xiaonuan was not afraid of Ji Lingchen. If he bullied her, she would fight with him. Her mindset was very simple. She continued, ¡°So if I say that you¡¯re my husband, everyone will know that I, Fang Xiaonuan, married a bad-tempered man. He¡¯s simply inhuman. Shame on me!¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. His wife was scolding him again for being inhuman. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll let you experience what it feels like to be disrespected.¡± Then, she deliberately called Ji Lingchen ¡°uncle¡± and said that Ji Lingchen was an old man who liked to date young women and that he had a bad character. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words were like gasoline to Ji Lingchen¡¯s anger. However, she was also the fire extinguisher. When Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s cute demeanor, he would not be able to lose his temper no matter what. If anyone else said these things to Ji Lingchen, even members of his own family, he would not take it sitting down. However, the person who was saying these things was his little wife, his little kitten. He could only endure it! Fang Xiaonuan did not know what her husband was thinking at all. She was still chattering non-stop. ¡°You just threw reports at someone. That¡¯s too much. You don¡¯t look like a good person at all.¡± Ji Lingchen said nothing. It was over. His own wife saw him as a bad person. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That man just now was about the same age as Dad. You scolded him just like that and even threw things at him. You didn¡¯t care about his pride at all. If his children saw this, wouldn¡¯t they want to scold you for it? If someone treats my dad like that, I¡¯ll definitely get even with that person!¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly realized that his little wife had turned things around and made him think of his subordinate as her father. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Your father is the chairman of the Fang Corporation. No one would treat him like this.¡± Right now, he was Ji Lingchen¡¯s father-inw as well. People would fawn over him. Who would dare to get angry at him? Fang Xiaonuan frowned and stomped her feet. ¡°Hubby, why don¡¯t you understand what I mean? The point is that you don¡¯t respect people!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°But he¡¯s just a subordinate. I¡¯m paying him a high sry¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°So you can humiliate him with a high sry?¡± Ji Lingchen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He patiently exined, ¡°Xiaonuan, listen to me. The mistake he made just now was the lowest mistake a new employee could make. There are two possibilities. First, he took the data directly from his subordinates. Second, he deliberately wanted to fool me. That¡¯s why I¡¯m so angry.¡± ¡°He is a veteran employee of thepany, so I asked him to do it again. If it were anyone else, I would have fired him immediately and he wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to correct his mistake.¡± ¡°You said that I threw the reports at him. That is indeed my fault. I admit my mistake.¡± ¡°I was really too angry, so I couldn¡¯t control my actions. I promise there won¡¯t be a repeat of this, okay?¡± Ji Lingchen patiently exined it all to his wife. However, Fang Xiaonuan did not seem to be able to ept such an exnation. Her brows were still tightly furrowed and she did not say a word. Chapter 122 - Recent Developments of the Finance Director

Ji Lingchen simply rose from his office chair and walked over to his little wife. He took her hand and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, I will definitely listen to your suggestions and heed them.¡± ¡°But there are some things that you shouldn¡¯t interfere in. The Ji Corporation would not be where it is right now if I was gentle on everyone.¡± ¡°Sometimes, using certain methods is very normal. There are definitely things that you won¡¯t be able to ept, so it¡¯s best that you don¡¯t see them.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s attitude softened. She said, ¡°Hubby, although this is the case, I still feel that your actions just now were very excessive. Since he is an old employee, he definitely knows your temper. He must be a supervisor if he was allowed to provide a report at your office. How could such a high-level employee make such a low-level mistake? There must be a reason for this.¡± Hearing his wife¡¯s words, Ji Lingchen fell into deep thought. What his wife said made sense. Thinking back, his subordinate was acting a little strange just now. Although he would usually make some small mistakes, this person was generally very serious about his work. It was precisely because of this that he slowly promoted this employee to his current position. Therefore, there was definitely something wrong here. After thinking about it carefully, he said to his wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, you head home first. I will investigate this matter properly. If he really has something to hide, I will do as I see fit. Is that okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. Then, her husband coaxed her into the exclusive elevator. Just as the elevator door was about to close, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly stretched out her small hand to stop the doors from closing. She asked, ¡°Hubby, are youing home for dinner tonight?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°I have something to do tonight, so I¡¯ll be hometer.¡± When Fang Xiaonuan heard the answer, she let out a disappointed ¡°Oh¡± and let go. The elevator doors slowly closed and she was sent downstairs. After returning to the office, Ji Lingchen called his assistant in. ¡°Go and investigate the director of the finance department. Look into recent developments of his home life as well.¡± The assistant asked doubtfully, ¡°Jiang Rui, Director Jiang?¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. He sat in the chair and leaned back. He looked at his assistant and asked, ¡°Has there been anything unusual about him recently?¡± The assistant said, ¡°CEO Ji, he has been the focus of discussion among the employees of thepany recently. Everyone feels sorry for him.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. It turned out that something had really happened. He looked at his assistant and waited for his next words. The assistant said, ¡°His wife abandoned him and ran off with someone else. She even took away all his money. His mother is old. When she heard about this, she was so angry that she had a stroke. His daughter is studying abroad. I heard that the chaotic rtionship at home might lead to the school expelling her.¡± Ji Lingchen rarely cared about his subordinates¡¯ family matters. He only cared about his work and never cared about their home life. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Why did his wife leave with someone else?¡± The assistant said, ¡°This is his second wife. I heard from thepany¡¯s older employees that his mother didn¡¯t like her first daughter-inw. She had forcefully separated the two of them.¡± ¡°Originally, his life was pretty good. His second wife even gave birth to a son. His son is going to enter junior high this year.¡± ¡°Who knew that his wife would actually fool around with her fitness trainer? I don¡¯t know if she was bewitched by someone, but she hardened her heart and took all his assets away. Then, she eloped with the fitness trainer. She didn¡¯t even want her own son, let alone her husband.¡± ¡°The daughter living abroad was conceived in his first marriage. The stepmother naturally could not discipline her wholeheartedly. The daughter was also unhappy in her new family, so Director Jiang sent her to study abroad. However, when she went abroad things became more and more outrageous¡­¡± The assistant told Ji Lingchen many stories about Jiang Rui. Ji Lingchen frowned and said, ¡°How troublesome!¡± The assistant nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, we really can¡¯t do anything about these things. It¡¯s not just about the money; everything in the family is a mess. He has been in a daze recently.¡± Hearing that, Ji Lingchen massaged his temples. Dealing with family matters was not his strong suit at all. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I understand. You can leave.¡± The assistant asked curiously, ¡°CEO, was this all you wanted to know about Director Jiang?¡± Ji Lingchen thought of his little wife throwing a tantrum at him and felt a little depressed. He was not in the mood to answer the assistant¡¯s question. Instead, he instructed, ¡°Go and call the head secretary over.¡± The assistant said, ¡°Yes sir.¡± The assistant left the office. Not long after, the head secretary came in. Chapter 123 - How to Coax A Child

Everyone in the capital knew that Ji Lingchen had two capable right-hand men by his side. One was Assistant Liu, who was responsible for all public affairs and was good at diplomacy. The other was Head Secretary Song. Secretary Song was a middle-aged woman who was very capable. She was mainly in charge of all the internal operations of thepany. She was both courageous and meticulous. Ji Lingchen was very good at managing people. He knew what kind of people to ce in those positions. There had been people who had tried to poach these two, but they refused to be tempted. They wholeheartedly stayed with Ji Lingchen. After this happened a few times, the two felt that the outside offers were getting too annoying, and so they directly said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°CEO Ji, they have recently gotten very annoying. We want to work in peace.¡± Ji Lingchen was furious. He had directly purchased the Aki Company, turning it into a subsidiary of the Ji Corporation. This action of his was a warning to others. If anyone wanted to poach talent from him, not only would they be unsessful, they might even lose theirpany. ¡°CEO, you were looking for me?¡± Secretary Song entered the office and asked respectfully. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°I just wanted to ask you, if a child is throwing a tantrum, how do I coax her? What should I give her?¡± A child? Secretary Song¡¯s brain worked at lightning speed. She immediately knew that the CEO was talking about his young wife. Secretary Song calmly replied, ¡°It depends on what she¡¯s angry about.¡± After all, there were many things to consider when giving gifts. Secretary Song had been responsible for thepany¡¯s employee benefits and customer business gifts over the years. She was able to handle things properly every time. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°She was angry because she felt that my style of doing things is too excessive.¡± Secretary Song thought for a moment and replied, ¡°You can give Mrs. Ji jewelry. Mrs. Ji is very particr about how she dresses but doesn¡¯t wear any jewelry. Why don¡¯t you give her a bracelet or ne that she can wear on a daily basis?¡± While Ji Lingchen was thinking about it, Secretary Song said again, ¡°Madam is angry, but she should not be picky about a gift. So, I believe that as long as you choose a gift carefully and there are no further arguments, she will understand your intentions and won¡¯t pursue this matter any further.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded and said, ¡°Come with me to the social gathering tonight.¡± Secretary Song said, ¡°Then Assistant Liu, he¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°He doesn¡¯t have good taste. He often works overtime at thepany.¡± Secretary Song said, ¡°Yes.¡± Ji Lingchen was referring to taste in jewelry. He was going to pick something out for his wife. After work, Secretary Song and Ji Lingchen headed to the social gathering venue together. On the way there, they deliberately took a detour to the shopping mall. ¡°CEO, I thought you would call the boss of the jewelrypany to order it and have it sent to your office directly,¡± Secretary Song said. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Since it¡¯s an apology gift, you have to buy it in person to show sincerity. If I wait for it to be sent to thepany, I will have to wait till tomorrow.¡± Ji Lingchen was already able to picture how angry his wife would look tonight. She would call him ¡°uncle¡± again and insult him left and right. ¡°Let me see this bracelet,¡± Ji Lingchen said, pointing to a golden bracelet on the brochure. The manager heard this and immediately ordered his staff to open the safe to get the bracelet. When Ji Lingchen personally arrived at a store, the store would send the highest management staff to receive him. The store would be closed immediately and would no longer receive any customers. ¡°May I ask, CEO Ji, is this bracelet for¡­¡± the manager trailed off. ¡°My wife,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. The manager was so surprised that his mouth was wide open, and he was speechless for a while. He did not expect the decisive CEO Ji to be such a romantic person. After they took out the bracelet, Ji Lingchen carefully looked at the seemingly ordinary, but exceptionally eye-catching bracelet in his hand. The manager quickly exined the design philosophy of the bracelet, the technology used to make it, the emotions expressed, and so on. Secretary Song often read fashion magazines, and she recognized the bracelet at a nce. She said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°CEO, this bracelet is the work of an internationally famous designer, Mr. Phelps. It¡¯s not cheap, and it¡¯s a very sincere gift. The bracelet is very dazzling, and Madam¡¯s skin is already fair. She¡¯ll definitely look very beautiful in it. I believe that she will love such an exquisite and thoughtful gift.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded in satisfaction. He put the bracelet back into the box, took out a ck card, and said, ¡°I¡¯ll take it.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled as he left the jewelry store with the small gift. In the car, Secretary Song said, ¡°CEO Ji, you¡¯re really good to your wife.¡± That was obvious. He just bought a bracelet worth millions. Ji Lingchen was in a good mood. ¡°She¡¯s just a child. If I don¡¯t go along with her wishes, her little temper will be hard on the whole family.¡± Chapter 124 - Children Don’t Listen

The child Ji Lingchen was talking about was quietly walking to the refrigerator. When no one was looking, she stole an ice-cream and went back to the bedroom. Now that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s stomach was no longer hurting, she had begun craving things again. After eating the ice-cream, Fang Xiaonuan leaned on the bed and called Old Master Ji, who was far away in the hospital, to ask him how he was feeling today. ¡°Dad, Lingchen has a social engagement tonight, so we won¡¯t be able to visit you. Moreover, you will be discharged tomorrow,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Old Master Ji drank the stomach-nourishing vegetable porridge made by his eldest daughter-inw and said happily, ¡°Yes, yes, you don¡¯t have toe. I¡¯m fine here. With your brother-inw and sister-inw here, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Fang Xiaonuan could hear the hidden meaning in her father-inw¡¯s words. She deliberately tried to scare him and said, ¡°But if you really miss me, I can also ask the chauffeur to send me to the hospital.¡± ¡°No, no, no, there¡¯s really no need. I don¡¯t miss you. Just stay at home and be good!¡± Old Master Ji quickly refused. ¡°Hahaha, got it, Dad.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled and hung up the phone. After hanging up, Old Master Ji said, still in shock, ¡°Fortunately, she didn¡¯t insist oning. Otherwise, she would make me so angry that I¡¯d get sick again. My blood pressure was so high yesterday.¡± ¡­ It was dinnertime, and she was the only one in the Ji family home. The maids were busy fussing over her. The maid took the basin. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I just washed my hands. Take it away.¡± The maid left with the basin. Another maid came over to help her with her meal. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I have hands of my own. You all may leave!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was left alone in the dining hall, and she finally began to eat heartily. Meanwhile, Ji Lingchen was watching the young woman on his phone. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°A big table of delicious food that belongs to me alone. How blissful!¡± Ji Lingchen smiled and sent a thumbs up emoji. He alsomented, ¡°Don¡¯t eat spicy food or cold food. Be good.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately replied with a funny cat emoji. She even said, ¡°I¡¯m not listening. I¡¯m not listening.¡± Ji Lingchen could not help butugh out loud in front of everyone. Someone asked curiously, ¡°CEO Ji, what¡¯s making you so happy?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°Nothing much. The child at home is being disobedient.¡± Secretary Song obviously knew who CEO Ji was talking about, so she took the initiative to change the topic and speak on behalf of him. Not long after, Chairman Fang arrived. Seeing that his son-inw was also present, he said excitedly, ¡°Lingchen?¡± Ji Lingchen hurriedly stood up and greeted him. ¡°Dad.¡± Then, he took the initiative to give up his main seat for his father-inw. He was still wondering why no one had told him that his father-inw would being. When the host saw this, his heart tightened. When he had sent out the invitations, he had not invited Chairman Fang. Who had invited Chairman Fang? If he had known that Chairman Fang wasing, he would not have arranged for Ji Lingchen to sit at the main seat. This was really¡­ Thinking of this, the host¡¯s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, the two of them did not say anything. They just automatically adjusted their seats. The people at the dining table were all shrewd. The conversation was interesting and it was not awkward. No one felt ufortable. Chairman Fang asked, ¡°How is Old Master Ji¡¯s health?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Thank you for your concern. Father¡¯s illness is no longer serious. He will be discharged tomorrow.¡± Chairman Fang said again, ¡°Then tomorrow, ask Xiaonuan to go with you to the hospital to pick up Old Master Ji.¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head and said, ¡°Xiaonuan has sses tomorrow, so I won¡¯t bother her. The environment in the hospital is not good, so I don¡¯t want her to be there so frequently. I can go there by myself tomorrow. It won¡¯t take long.¡± Hearing this, Chairman Fang grew more and more fond of his son-inw. The crowd toasted andughed. At this moment, Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and quickly got up to leave the private room. Chairman Fang also caught a glimpse of his son-inw¡¯s phone screen from the corner of his eye. He was a little puzzled. Who was ¡°Kitten¡±? In the corridor, Ji Lingchen picked up the phone and asked lovingly, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, you haven¡¯te home yet. How could I fall asleep? When will you be back?¡± Ji Lingchen looked in the direction of the private room. The people inside were chatting happily, and it would not be over anytime soon. He said, ¡°I might bete. You can go to bed first. You still have sses tomorrow.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said aggrievedly, ¡°Alright then. I left the door open for you. Don¡¯t be toote!¡± Ji Lingchen heard his wife¡¯s quiet voice and his heart softened. He smiled and replied, ¡°Alright, got it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan urged, ¡°Don¡¯t drink too much.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Dad Is here too.¡± Chapter 125 - Different Thoughts

Fang Xiaonuan asked in confusion, ¡°Huh? Dad is at the same table as you?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t know beforehand.¡± ¡°Then take care of Dad. Don¡¯t let him drink too much. Send him home tonight,¡± Fang Xiaonuan instructed. ¡°Got it,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. After coaxing his wife to hang up, Ji Lingchen returned to the private room with a smile. Looking at the smile in Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes, Chairman Fang asked warily, ¡°Who called you?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°It was Xiaonuan. She asked me what time I would be back.¡± ¡°Oh, Xiaonuan.¡± Chairman Fang suddenly realized that the kitten was his daughter. However, this nickname was too easy to misunderstand. Chairman Fang smiled awkwardly. Young people nowadays even had such strange nicknaming conventions. ¡­ Meanwhile, Fang Xiaonuan was packing her school bag. After she was done packing, she threw her school bag on the sofa before climbing into bed. She really did not like the empty space beside her. She tossed and turned a few times before slowly closing her eyes. Because he had a ss the next day, Ji Wen also went home. At around ten in the evening, Ji Wen was washing up when he suddenly received a call from Ji Lingchen. ¡°Ji Wen, are you at home or at the hospital?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°I¡¯ve already gone home, uncle.¡± Ji Wen replied. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you¡¯re not doing anything,e and pick me up. I¡¯ve had too much to drink, so I can¡¯t drive.¡± Ji Wen was extremely surprised. Ji Lingchen had once said that he would not let hime into contact with any of the Ji Corporation¡¯s business partners before he graduated. Ji Lingchen had even taken the initiative to ask him to pick him up. If he did, those people would know who he was. Ji Wen asked, ¡°Uncle, you really want me to go over?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Come. Go to Room 608 of Jade Water Deluxe.¡± After speaking, Ji Lingchen hung up. Ji Wen held onto the phone, staring nkly for a long time. He did not understand what his uncle meant. After leaving, he drove out of the Ji family¡¯s residence and made his way to Jade Water Deluxe. In the past, Ji Lingchen would bring a chauffeur with him for social engagements. But today, Assistant Liu was not here, and Secretary Song was a woman. Thus, he had simply asked his nephew toe pick him up, and at the same time, let Ji Wen make an appearance in front of all his business partners. It was time for him to make contact with these people. Knock, knock, knock. There was a series of knocks on the door. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Come in!¡± Ji Wen pushed the door open and entered the room. He looked at the dozen or so people in the room, and for a moment, everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on him. ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m here,¡± Ji Wen said in neither a servile nor overbearing manner. Ji Lingchen nodded and beckoned Ji Wen toe to his side. Ji Wen hurriedly walked to his uncle¡¯s side. When he saw Chairman Fang beside him, he politely greeted him, ¡°Hello, Mr. Fang.¡± There was no way to change the way he addressed him. Ji Wen was used to calling him Mr. Fang. Chairman Fang did not hesitate to address him. He smiled and replied, ¡°Xiaowen, you¡¯re here.¡± Ji Lingchen stood up and introduced him to everyone, ¡°Everyone, this is my nephew, Ji Wen.¡± ¡°So, this is young master Ji Wen. He looks a little like CEO Ji.¡± ¡°How old is he?¡± ¡°CEO Ji, he really does look like your nephew. He really has an extraordinary temperament.¡± Hearing thepliments, Ji Wen politely thanked everyone. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s go home. The Madam at home might lock the door,¡± Ji Lingchen said. When he said this, everyone knew that it was time to leave. Ji Lingchen patted Ji Wen on the shoulder and led him and Chairman Fang away. After they left, Ji Lingchen said to Chairman Fang, ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll have Xiaowen drive you. You¡¯ve been drinking, and the driver isn¡¯t here.¡± Chairman Fang did not hesitate and directly got into his son-inw¡¯s car. Ji Wen drove away from Jade Water Deluxe. After the three of them left, everyone was puzzled. They did not understand why Ji Lingchen would suddenly let his nephew appear at such an asion. Some of them began to wonder where his nephew was studying, how old he was, and whether he was married. In the car, Ji Wen asked, ¡°Uncle, didn¡¯t you say that you wouldn¡¯t let me get in touch with our family¡¯s business partners too early? Why did you let mee today?¡± If he needed someone to drive him, he could have just called the chauffeur. Ji Lingchen clearly wanted him toe. Ji Lingchen said indifferently, ¡°You¡¯re already in university, so it¡¯s time for you to get in touch with our family¡¯s business partners. Today is just the beginning. In the future, during the winter and summer holidays, you shouldn¡¯t y around too much. Attend all the social engagements with me and get used to these social functions.¡± Chairman Fang also nodded in agreement and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiaowen. There¡¯s no harm in learning these things early. You should pick up your uncle¡¯s skills. Even if you master a few skills, you can still be an elite in this industry.¡± Chapter 126 - Omniscient

After epting the invitation, Ji Wen did not say anything else. The husband and father-inw in the back seat, on the other hand, were having a lively conversation. Chairman Fang said, ¡°Lingchen, don¡¯t you feel that what happened today is a bit strange?¡± He had invited him, but for no apparent reason. Also, the gathering started ten minutester than usual. Something must be going on. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were clear and bright. He said calmly, ¡°Internal strife in thepany.¡± The person who had organized the gathering today was Director Tang of the Tang Corporation. He had intended to maintain a cooperative rtionship with the Ji Corporation and extend the contract. But the people of hispany seemed to want him to make a fool of himself in public, which was why they hade up with this idea. If Ji Lingchen was going to vent his anger on Director Tang, then the cooperation would naturally be ruined. During the meal, Ji Lingchen had thought of this. He had already asked Secretary Song to send someone to investigate the internal affairs of the Tang Corporation. After he had received the information, Ji Lingchen told his father-inw. ¡°The second-inmand of the Tang Corporation wants to rece Director Tang. Only by destroying this contract renewal with the Ji Corporation will he have a chance to do that.¡± ¡°If Director Tang is able to convince me to continue the partnership, then it will prove that the Ji Corporation recognizes Director Tang¡¯s ability, and his position will be unshakable.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why the other party came up with this idea, to have you appear at the gathering.¡± ¡°Although everyone was very happy at the dinner table, in truth, in their hearts, they already have their own judgments about the Tang Corporation.¡± Chairman Fang was filled with endless admiration for his son-inw¡¯s efficiency. He was practically omniscient. In the short time it took to eat, he was able to understand this matter thoroughly. Looking at his son-inw once more, Chairman Fang¡¯s heart felt somewhat conflicted. Chairman Fang asked, ¡°Then will you renew your contract with Director Tang this time?¡± Ji Lingchen was silent for a moment before replying. ¡°I¡¯ll go home and ask Xiaonuan.¡± Chairman Fang said, ¡°Ah? Why ask her? She doesn¡¯t understand either.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°But this time¡­ we have to listen to her.¡± Chairman Fang did not ask any more questions. He could not understand them. After a while, the car approached a 24-hour convenience store. Ji Lingchen asked Ji Wen to stop the car. He got out of the car and entered the convenience store. After a while, he returned to the car with a big bag of things. ¡°What did you buy?¡± Chairman Fang asked. ¡°I bought these for Xiaonuan,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. The bag was open. Chairman Fang saw a bag of brown sugar. After being married for many years, he knew what brown sugar was for, so he did not ask more questions. However, after returning home, he told his wife how attentive and gentle his son-inw was to his daughter. Of course, he alsoined about the strange nickname he had given her. Ji Lingchen arrived home at around eleven o¡¯clock, and Fang Xiaonuan had already fallen asleep. When the two of them reached home, Ji Wen told Ji Lingchen what he really thought. ¡°Uncle, I don¡¯t want to take over the family business.¡± Ji Lingchen pretended not to hear him and said, ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. You still have to go to school tomorrow. Go to sleep.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Got It.¡± Ji Lingchen returned to the bedroom and found that his wife was sleeping on her stomach. He walked over and picked her up. He turned over and put her back on the bed. He covered her with the nket again and went downstairs to wash up. When he came back, Fang Xiaonuan was lying on her stomach again. He turned her over again. ¡°Um¡­ Hubby.¡± Fang Xiaonuan opened her eyes in a daze and called out, but she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep again. Ji Lingchen gently patted her back, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep. The lights in the room were off, but Fang Xiaonuan deliberately left a wallmp for him, probably because she was afraid that he would not be able to see clearly once he was back. Looking at the young woman who was sleeping soundly, Ji Lingchen gently caressed her cheek, then tiptoed to open the jewelry box and put the bracelet on her wrist. Fang Xiaonuan slept very soundly,pletely unaware of it. After doing everything, Ji Lingchen kissed the young woman on the forehead. Then, he crawled into bed and cuddled his wife. The next day, Fang Xiaonuan woke up. There was still no one around her. She seriously suspected that her husband had note homest night. Thinking of this, the little me in her heart kindled. Suddenly, she found that the pillow next to her looked used. The little me was extinguished in an instant. She leaned on the pillow and smelled it. Yes, it smelled like her husband. It seemed that he hade homest night. ¡°What do you smell?¡± Ji Lingchen leaned against the door frame and looked at his wife with a smile. ¡°I smell that my husband came homest night.¡± Fang Xiaonuan got up. Suddenly, she realized that there was something on her wrist. She hurriedly brought her wrist closer and took a look. There was a bracelet on her wrist. It was the work of the old Mr. Philip, a designer she had long admired. Chapter 127 - Your Husband Will Reimburse You!

¡°Magnificent!¡± Fang Xiaonuan shouted in surprise. Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had chosen the right gift. It was something his little wife liked. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Do you like it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan kept nodding and said, ¡°I like it. I like it very much, but it¡¯s so expensive. I was never willing to pay for it.¡± ¡°Silly, didn¡¯t I tell you to buy whatever you want? If you don¡¯t want to spend your own money, just look for me after you buy it. Your husband will reimburse you!¡± Ji Lingchen said with a smile. ¡°Really? Hubby, can you buy me luxury items too?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked with twinkling eyes. ¡°Of course,¡± Ji Lingchen replied without hesitation. Fang Xiaonuan happily opened her arms and threw herself into her husband¡¯s arms. She hugged his waist tightly and pressed her face against his chest. She nestled against his chest excitedly to express her joy. Ji Lingchen caressed her head lovingly. His smile reached his eyes. ¡­ The next morning, Fang Xiaonuan was washing up when Ji Lingchen suddenly said, ¡°I found out why the subordinate behaved that way yesterday.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked curiously. Ji Lingchen told his wife everything about Director Jiang¡¯s family. Then, he asked, ¡°Xiaonuan¡­ do you have any idea how we can help him?¡± Fang Xiaonuan stopped brushing her teeth and shook her head in annoyance. ¡°I don¡¯t have any ideas either¡­¡± She quickly washed up and walked out of the bathroom. Then she said, ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s very difficult for outsiders to interfere in family affairs. He can only handle it himself. His wife took his property and ran away, so he reported her to the police. When his mother was sick, he found a doctor to treat her. As for his daughter, he should have been more attentive. We can¡¯t help him, but¡­¡± She suddenly looked at Ji Lingchen with a smile. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My husband might have a way to help him.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Ji Lingchen waited for his wife¡¯s next words with interest. Fang Xiaonuan held her husband¡¯s hand and said coquettishly, ¡°Actually, my husband can give him a leave of absence. That way, he¡¯ll have enough time to deal with these matters.¡± ¡°Given his current state, he won¡¯t be able to work properly. If that¡¯s the case, it would be better for him to go home and focus on dealing with the family matters beforeing back to work.¡± ¡°That way, when hees back, he won¡¯t make such a low-level mistake.¡± ¡°If he doesn¡¯t make mistakes, my husband won¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°My husband will still be my handsome, gentle, and good husband!¡± ¡°In addition, if this is the case, the Ji Corporation will find out that my husband is a good leader who cares about his employees.¡± ¡°Everyone will admire you even more, and will be proud of having a leader like you!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Then¡­ From now on, when youe to thepany, will you call me husband or uncle?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll definitely call you husband. I¡¯m your wife. What else would I call you?¡± Ji Lingchen cupped Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little face and lowered his head to kiss it. Then he said, ¡°It¡¯s a deal!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little face turned red and said, ¡°Then, hubby, when you see him tomorrow, remember to exin what happened. Tell him that I¡¯m actually your wife and not your niece. Don¡¯t let him continue to misunderstand!¡± Ji Lingchen scratched his little wife¡¯s nose and said, ¡°Wasn¡¯t this misunderstanding caused by your little mouth?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said coquettishly, ¡°Hmph, wasn¡¯t I angry yesterday?¡± If Fang Xiaonuan acted coquettishly, no matter who was right or wrong, she would win. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Alright, I got it. Oh right, there¡¯s still one more thing that you need to decide.¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly asked, ¡°There¡¯s still something that needs to be decided by me? Hubby, tell me quickly.¡± The man was holding her in his arms. Ji Lingchen told his wife everything that had happened yesterday. ¡°Now, should we continue to work together? I¡¯ll listen to everything you say.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. This coboration was worth at least one billion, and her husband dared to ask her to make such a hasty decision? Ji Lingchen did not want to put too much pressure on his wife, so he exined, ¡°Actually, even if we don¡¯t work with them, there will still be manypanies that will beg for a coboration with Ji Corporation. So, you can choose whatever you want. There¡¯s no pressure.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°But, hubby¡­ What would you choose?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If I stuck to my own standards, I would choose not to work with them anymore.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t even manage your own employees well, it can only mean that your management skills are very poor.¡± ¡°I would not feel sorry for him. I would only think about how to maximize thepany¡¯s profits.¡± Chapter 128 - 8: Pink Bubbles

Fang Xiaonuan asked curiously, ¡°Hubby, then why do you want me to make a decision? Don¡¯t you already have your own ideas?¡± Ji Lingchen smiled lightly as he stroked his wife¡¯s hair. ¡°I¡¯ll let you decide.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. Her husband was just going to let her decide when the contract was worth more than a billion? She continued to ask, ¡°What if my decision is the opposite of what you want?¡± ¡°I think that the second-inmand of thepany schemes too much. He wanted topete fairly for the position, yet he insisted on using underhanded methods.¡± ¡°Furthermore, he even took advantage of my husband and my father. He must have a very bad character!¡± ¡°Rtively speaking, I think that Director Tang may not be very capable, but his character is not a problem. Working together would put us at ease¡­¡± ¡°So, husband, let¡¯s continue working with them!¡± Ji Lingchen knew that his little wife would definitely not let him down. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get thewyer to deliver the contract in a while.¡± After saying that, he even touched his little wife¡¯s hair. Her hair was thin and soft, like that of a child. Fang Xiaonuan was wearing the bracelet that her husband had given her. She thought about it and felt that she should express her gratitude. Therefore, before going downstairs, she stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed her husband on the cheek. Then, she ran downstairs to eat. Ji Lingchen was left in the same spot with a face full of lust. ¡­ In the ssroom. Fang Xiaonuan was holding arge cup of dark red liquid and drinking it. Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, what are you drinking?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said proudly, ¡°Brown sugar water. My husband purposely made it for before he left.¡± Before going to school in the morning, Ji Lingchen took her cup of water away. Then, he looked at the picture on her cup and said, ¡°The kitten looks a little familiar.¡± Ji Wen asked, ¡°Uncle, when did you get a cat?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife and said, ¡°It looks like the kitten in my arms.¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied shyly, ¡°Ugh, why did you call me a kitten again?¡± Her tone was full of sweetness. It gave Ji Wen a headache. Ji Wen thought, ¡®Showing off your love so early in the morning, that¡¯s enough!¡¯ After arriving at school, Ji Wen told Liu Siyu many stories about his uncle and Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Oh my God, Xiaonuan met her true love after marriage?¡± Liu Siyu said in surprise. The two looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was giggling foolishly, and nodded in unison. ¡°Looks like she really met him.¡± Liu Siyu sighed. ¡°You¡¯ve been single for so many years, but then you met your true love after marriage. This must be a gift from the heavens!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°When will the heavens give me a gift? Let my uncle and Fang Xiaonuan go somewhere else. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be too sullen at home.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°You probably don¡¯t deserve a gift. It¡¯s better for you to rely on yourself.¡± During ss, whenever Fang Xiaonuan heard boring knowledge, her husband¡¯s face would pop up in her mind, and then she would begin to giggle foolishly. Liu Siyu and Ji Wen looked at each other, then said helplessly, ¡°Though I¡¯m sitting so far away, I can practically see pink thought bubbles popping up above her head. She is giving off the sweet scent of love!¡± ¡­ Ji Corporation, CEO¡¯s office. Jiang Rui, who had been criticized yesterday, brought a new report to the CEO¡¯s office today. He hurriedly handed the report to Ji Lingchen. When Ji Lingchen looked at the data, his heart seemed to jump out of his throat. Ji Lingchen looked at it carefully. This time, there was finally no problem with the data, but a single nce from him would cause Jiang Rui to feel a ton of pressure. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I know what¡¯s been going on with your family. How are you going to deal with it?¡± Jiang Rui suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Lingchen, his face full of shock. He had never thought that Ji Lingchen would find out about his family matters. However, thinking about it, his scandal would have spread throughout thepany. He said in a panic, ¡°CEO Ji, I won¡¯t let my family matters affect my work anymore. Please give me another chance!¡± There were already enough things to worry about at home. He could not lose his job again, or his family would really have no hope at all. Ji Lingchen took a deep breath. He began to have self-doubt. How heartless was he in the eyes of the employees? His normal questions of concern actually made his subordinates fear him to such an extent. He quickly said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to fire you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m prepared to give you a week¡¯s vacation. Can you handle your family matters in this timeframe?¡± ¡°CEO, I. . .¡± Jiang Rui looked at Ji Lingchen pitifully. Vacation? But why did he feel that he was still fired?

Ji Lingchen was helpless. Gentleness did not seem normal on him. On the contrary, he made people feel afraid. He coughed a few times andposed himself. With a solemn face, he said, ¡°Within this week, go and settle your home matters. Thepany will hire people to temporarily take your ce. After a week, if you still have not solved your family issues and if you¡¯re still bringing unnecessary emotions into work, hand in your resignation letter!¡± ¡°Yes, yes. Thank you, CEO!¡± Jiang Rui saw that the CEO had gone back to normal and he finally believed his words. He quickly bowed and thanked him. ¡°No need to thank me. This was all my wife¡¯s idea,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Wife?¡± Jiang Rui was puzzled. He had never met the CEO¡¯s wife. Why would the CEO¡¯s wife know about his family matters and even intercede on his behalf? Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s the little girl you saw yesterday. She¡¯s not my niece. She¡¯s my wife, Fang Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Jiang Rui was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground. That little girl, he really thought that she was the CEO¡¯s niece. So, it turned out that she was the legendary CEO¡¯s wife! ¡°Thank you, CEO. Thank you, Madam!¡± Jiang Rui said and left the office. He entered the elevator. The elevator door was about to close when Secretary Song suddenly appeared. ¡°Secretary Song, what Instructions do you have for me?¡± Jiang Rui asked. Secretary Song said, ¡°I just received the order from the CEO. I have already transferred 100,000 yuan into your ount. Director Jiang, don¡¯t let the CEO down.¡± Jiang Rui was stunned. The CEO not only gave him a holiday, but also gave him money to help with emergencies. He had mixed feelings, and tears were welling up in his eyes. He could only express his gratitude. ¡°Thank you!¡± ¡­ Just as Fang Xiaonuan had said, after this incident, Ji Lingchen¡¯s status in the hearts of the employees had risen once more. Assistant Liu had lunch with Ji Lingchen at noon. Suddenly, he brought up the topic that the employees of thepany had been discussing fervently. ¡°CEO, everyone is proud and happy to be working at Ji Corporation.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Pass it down. All of this is because of the CEO¡¯s wife, not me.¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°No, CEO Ji. What you said when you signed the contract with the Tang Corporation has already caused everyone in the capital¡¯s business circle to start asking about the madam.¡± ¡°If everyone in thepany finds out that the madam has such a good heart, she will definitely be surrounded by many people the next time she shows up.¡± Two days had passed since the signing of the contract with the Tang Corporation. Jiang Rui had also been gone for two days. That day, after Ji Lingchen had signed the contract, Director Tang was very grateful to him. However, Ji Lingchen was passive-aggressive. ¡°For me, if I can¡¯t even manage my subordinates well, I won¡¯t continue to work with them.¡± ¡°If you really want to thank me, you should thank my wife. She was the one who asked me to give you another chance. Make good use of this opportunity.¡± After that, Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife became popr. Ji Lingchen asked coldly, ¡°Who is asking about Xiaonuan?¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°Manypanies are asking about her. They probably want to win her sympathy in advance so that she can put in a good word for them.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Remember thesepanies. Never cooperate with them! Also, spread the news. If anyone dares to disturb her, they will bear the consequences!¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°Yes.¡± Assistant Liu never expected his boss to be like this after marriage. He wanted everyone to know how good his wife was and did not want anyone to disturb her. Fang Xiaonuan naturally did not know her husband¡¯s intentions. She was still a rebellious child. Before her period was over, she started having cravings again. After dinner, she ¡°identally¡± walked to the fridge. She looked left, right, and all around. When she saw that there was no one around, she quietly opened the fridge door and reached her naughty little hand towards the ice cream. ¡°Ahem.¡± Suddenly, a cough came from behind her. Fang Xiaonuan heard the familiar voice and pouted. ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the chocte ice cream in her hand and said calmly, ¡°Put it back.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the fridge and then at the ice cream in her hand. She said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, I just want a small bite¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Put it back!¡± His eyes were filled with an unnegotiable look. Fang Xiaonuan immediately became like a deted balloon and obediently put the ice cream back. Ji Wen, who was watching this, said mockingly, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, don¡¯t be afraid. You¡¯re not a coward!¡± Ji Lingchen raised his leg and kicked Ji Wen¡¯s butt. ¡°How can you talk to your aunt like that?¡± Ji Wen rubbed his butt like a frightened little mouse. He put his hand over his butt as he left. Chapter 130 - Saving Her Butt

Chapter 130: Saving Her Butt

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Fang Xiaonuan did not expect her husband to kick him. She was d that she understood the situation and put the ice cream back. Otherwise, she would not have been able to save her butt too! ¡°Go upstairs and take a shower, then sleep,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan went upstairs obediently. However, after a while, her appetite returned and she pretended to have a stomachache. Just as Ji Lingchen was anxiously looking for medicine for her, she said, ¡°Hubby, actually, one ice cream would help.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. ¡°You¡¯d be in even more pain!¡± ¡°Hubby, my stomach hurts!¡± Fang Xiaonuan simply tossed and turned on the bed and rolled to Ji Lingchen¡¯s side. Ji Lingchen was sitting by the bed, leaning against the headboard while reading, but the kitten beside him rolled over. He nced at her and told her to stop. ¡°Honey, my stomach really hurts. I¡¯m in so much pain, I¡¯m crying!¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not give up and tried again. This time, Ji Lingchen reached out his hand, then ced it on her lower abdomen and gently rubbed it. ¡°Honey, your hand won¡¯t work this time. Only ice cream can stop the pain.¡± Fang Xiaonuan continued to act shamelessly. Ji Lingchen closed the book and ced it on the bedside table. Was he going to relent? Fang Xiaonuan was about to celebrate when the man pulled her into his arms. ¡°Since rubbing your stomach is useless, go to sleep. You won¡¯t feel any pain once you fall asleep.¡± ¡°But, I, I¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan was full of steam. She did not want to sleep! Ji Lingchen never pictured bickering his wife. ¡°Hubby, I don¡¯t want to sleep. I want to see the stars,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°There are dark clouds today. You can¡¯t see the stars.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I have something to talk to Ji Wen about.¡± Ji Lingchen pinched his wife¡¯s little face and said seriously, ¡°After eight o¡¯clock in the evening, I won¡¯t allow the two of you to meet.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll talk to Dad. I have something to discuss with him.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Dad¡¯s asleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If I find out that you¡¯ve been secretly eating ice cream before your period ends, next time, I¡¯ll make sure there is no ice cream in the fridge.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sighed gloomily and mumbled softly, ¡°Dad and Mom always say that you¡¯re good to me, but you won¡¯t let me eat ice cream. That¡¯s not treating me well.¡± Ji Lingchen said perfunctorily, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not good to you. I always mistreat you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s good that you know!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was still protesting in his arms, but soon fell asleep without realizing it. She finally stoppedining about her stomachache and her craving for ice cream. Ji Lingchen woke up in the middle of the night and deliberately instructed the maids to hide all the ice cream in the house, in case his little greedy cat wanted to eat it secretly while he was out. ¡°If second young mistress asks you for ice cream tomorrow, no one is allowed to tell her where the ice-cream is. Otherwise, they will be fired!¡± Ji Lingchen threatened. The maids quickly nodded in agreement. The butler naturally also joined the ice cream-hiding team. ¡°Second young master, what if the master wants to eat it?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the butler and said sternly, ¡°Let him ask me for it!¡± The butler smiled awkwardly. It seemed that only the second young master could manage the old master! After Ji Lingchen¡¯s midnight activity, the next morning, the two people at the dinner table had sullen faces. Both of them looked depressed. Fang Xiaonuan woke up very early. The first thing she did when she woke up was run to the refrigerator to get ice cream. However, when she opened it, she found that all the ice cream had disappeared! Simrly, Old Master Ji had also woken up early to look for ice-cream. He had also sneaked to the fridge. Looking at the empty fridge, he said in confusion, ¡°Why is it gone? There were more than ten yesterday.¡± Old Master Ji rummaged through the fridge from top to bottom but could not find a single ice-cream. Fang Xiaonuan and Old Master Ji both chose to ask the butler, ¡°Where¡¯s the ice cream?¡± The butler replied, ¡°Second young master says you must ask him for ice cream if you want it!¡± Ji Lingchen clearly knew that the two of them were afraid of him and did not dare to ask him for the ice cream. Therefore, at the dining table, the two of them red fiercely at Ji Lingchen. Feng Qi asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you all staring at Lingchen?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°Sister-inw, it¡¯s fine. Xiaonuan just loves me too much.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hah! You hid my favorite ice cream. I don¡¯t love you!¡± She could not take it anymore and yelled at her husband in front of everyone. The maids in the dining hall felt their hearts tremble. She was yelling at second young master. Even if they were husband and wife, second young master had a very bad temper. No one could figure him out. Plus, the young mistress quarreling in public would make the second young master look bad. Wouldn¡¯t this start a fight? Chapter 131 - Son of a B*tch

However, Ji Lingchen only smiled faintly and did not get angry. He turned to look at his little wife, stroked her hair, and said, ¡°What did I sayst night?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t listen, I won¡¯t listen. I don¡¯t want you to care about me,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said shamelessly. Old Master Ji suddenly felt that his daughter-inw was too amazing. She had helped him vent his anger. ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t waste your breath with Lingchen. Today, you can go out and buy more ice cream. Don¡¯t forget to bring one back for me too. I want one that¡¯s chocte-vored.¡± Fang Xiaonuan snorted coldly and agreed. Ji Lingchen leisurely ate his breakfast. He was in a particrly good mood. Before sending his little wife off to school, he leaned over and whispered something into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ear. Fang Xiaonuan immediately turned into a furious kitten and roared, ¡°No!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Then be good. You¡¯re not allowed to eat ice cream until your period ends.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s n seeded. He watched as the car sped off with Fang Xiaonuan. Old Master Ji asked curiously, ¡°What did you say to Xiaonuan just now? Did you threaten her?¡± ¡°No, I just told her that if she wasn¡¯t good at school and stole ice cream, I would go straight to school and tell everyone I¡¯m her husband,¡± Ji Lingchen said with a chuckle. He knew that Fang Xiaonuan did not want to reveal their identities at school, but he deliberately used this to threaten her. Fang Xiaonuan could only listen obediently. Old Master Ji pointed at his son and scolded, ¡°You sly little man, you used all your tricks in the business world on your own wife. Ji Lingchen, don¡¯t drive Xiaonuan away in the end. When she divorces you, I won¡¯t defend you!¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his father who was burning with anger. ¡°You were the one who asked her to marry me, and¡­¡± The corners of his lips curled up. ¡°If she became my wife without my consent, can she divorce me?¡± This sentence immediately made Old Master Ji choke. Ji Lingchen slowly walked to his car and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be too angry. Until a week passes, don¡¯t even think about eating a spoonful of ice cream!¡± ¡°D*mn you! Ji Lingchen, I¡¯m your father. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re overbearing about your wife, but you¡¯re actually going to do the same to your father?¡± Old Master Ji roared in exasperation. He was so angry that he was about to stomp his feet. Ji Lingchen leisurely drove past him. Old Master Ji was so angry that he wished he could pick up a brick from the ground and smash his car¡¯s window. However, there were no scattered bricks in the Ji family¡¯s courtyard. He could only return to the living room angrily. ¡­ Ji Lingchen thought that he could really control Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s desire to eat ice cream. However, when he got home from work that night, he smelled the strong scent of spicy snacks in the living room. He walked over to take a look. Fang Xiaonuan and Old Master Ji were sharing a new delicacy together ¡ª spicy snacks! ¡°Dad, look at the spicy snacks. They are almost the same in length, but there are so many brands. We just ate Wei Long¡¯s brand of spicy sticks, and now we are eating another brand of big spicy sticks. I also bought a big bag of them. Let¡¯s taste them one by one today!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said happily. ¡°I agree! Xiaonuan, you¡¯re so good to me. You¡¯re so filial.¡± After Old Master Ji finished speaking, he even sniffled. It was obvious that he had been eating spicy chili strips. There was a cup of water on the coffee table, and there was red chili oil floating on the water. Old Master Ji felt that the chili strips were too spicy, so Fang Xiaonuan prepared warm water for her father-inw to rinse the chili strips with. Before Old Master Ji ate the chili strips, he had to rinse the chili strips in the water before he could eat them. After a while, Ji Wen came over with threerge bottles of milk. There was red oil smeared on the corner of his mouth. After he sat down, the three of them each opened a bottle of milk. Then, they ate the spicy snacks and drank the milk. Ji Wen asked Old Master Ji, ¡°Grandpa, is your grandson filial?¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Yes. You and Xiaonuan are both filial. Only the son of a b*tch, Ji Lingchen, isn¡¯t filial. He micromanages everything every day. Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s busy enough managing thepany every day? He actually still has the time to manage our diets. He¡¯s really full of himself!¡± After saying that, Old Master Ji took another spicy snack, rinsed it in a cup of water, and stuffed it into his mouth. Ji Wen also took one. As he ate, he said, ¡°My uncle definitely wouldn¡¯t have guessed. Although he managed to control your ice cream intake, you guys can still eat these spicy snacks! In my opinion, my uncle has met his match with Fang Xiaonuan. She¡¯s very cunning. My uncle will suffer in the future.¡± Ji Lingchen stood in the dark without saying anything. He quietly listened to his family¡¯sints. With his hands in his pockets, he stood behind the pir in the living room. He stood there for a full five minutes before deciding to show himself.

At this moment, his wife suddenly said, ¡°My husband will be back soon. Let¡¯s clean up the rubbish on the table now. We can¡¯t let him catch us. Otherwise, we won¡¯t have anything to eat tomorrow.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, aren¡¯t you quite powerful? Why do you seem like a mouse staring down a cat? Don¡¯t be afraid! Take on the attitude of a big sister and fight with my uncle. Maybe from now on, he will kneel in front of you!¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchen smiled. It seemed that his nephew did not want to live anymore. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare. Besides, I can beat him. What if one day your uncle thinks that I¡¯m not gentle and despises me? What if he secretly finds another woman and cheats on me? If I can¡¯t beat him, it¡¯ll be even worse. Won¡¯t I be beaten up in the future?¡± CEO Ji, who was eavesdropping, was speechless Old Master Ji started talking about his son. ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t worry. I can promise you this. I don¡¯t think he can cheat on you. If he had the ability to cheat on you, he wouldn¡¯t have been without a partner for 28 years. I had been worried about him. Finding a wife was even more impossible. In any case, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible.¡± ¡°Why, Dad?¡± At this point, Fang Xiaonuan subconsciously opened another bag of spicy snacks and started eating it. She hadpletely forgotten that her husband was about to return home. Old Master Ji said, ¡°He treats you like a kitten. Have you ever seen anyone abuse their pet?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. ¡°Dad! How did you know that my husband treats me like a pet?¡± Old Master Ji nodded. ¡°Of course, I know. I have nothing to do at home, so I chat with the butler. I know everything about the family and thepany.¡± ¡°By the way, I heard that he renewed the contract with Tang Corporation a few days ago because of what you said.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My husband was trying to keep me entertained¡­¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t he let us y? He only let you y? Isn¡¯t he still spoiling you?¡± Old Master Ji said. The spicy snacks in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth suddenly did not taste good. She began to think about her grandfather¡¯s words. Could it be¡­ ¡°Second young master, you¡¯re back. What are you standing here for?¡± The maid suddenly saw Ji Lingchen and asked in confusion. The maid¡¯s words caused the three people who were secretly eating in the living room to be stunned. Their minds went nk, and they all turned to look in one direction. Ji Lingchen, who had been discovered, did not keep trying to hide. He slowly walked out from behind the pir and appeared in front of everyone. The three people who were secretly eating were dumbfounded. Ji Lingchen wore a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with a sense of oppression. ¡°The food is quite delicious!¡± The three of them were stunned at first, then they spoke at the same time. Ji Wen said, ¡°Uncle, Fang Xiaonuan bought these.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I didn¡¯t buy these.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Lingchen, I only ate a few mouthfuls.¡± After saying that, the three of them looked at each other. They were all good friends when they ate. When they were discovered, they wanted to push the me around. Ji Lingchen sat on the sofa and picked up a bag of spicy snacks from the ground. He asked, ¡°Tell me, who brought it up first?¡± Old Master Ji and Ji Wen pointed at the girl beside them without hesitation. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two hands in front of her and gritted her teeth in anger. She wished she could pounce on each of them and bite them. Ji Lingchen slowly got up from the sofa and walked in front of Fang Xiaonuan. He said, ¡°Come, follow me to the study.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pretended not to understand and said to Ji Wen, ¡°My husband wants you to go to the study.¡± But as soon as she said that, Ji Lingchen had grabbed her arm. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, hubby, why are you pulling me? I can walk on my own!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly. But Ji Lingchen was not buying it at all. He tugged his disobedient wife along and went straight to the study. As soon as they entered the study, Fang Xiaonuan changed the topic, trying to get Ji Lingchen¡¯s attention. ¡°Wow, hubby, why is your study all ck? It¡¯s so cool¡­¡± Actually, she did not like ck at all. ¡°Wow, hubby, there are so many books on your bookshelf. Hubby, you¡¯re really amazing!¡± Ji Lingchen sat on the chair, with one hand casually ced on the table as he quietly watched her performance. ¡°Continue.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and silently lowered her head. What was meant to be was meant to be. She said softly, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m sorry. I know I was wrong.¡± Ji Lingchen asked as if he was interrogating a criminal, ¡°Tell me, what did you do wrong?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was truly terrified at this moment. She resigned herself to her fate and said, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have bought spicy snacks and ate them during my period. I shouldn¡¯t have encouraged my father, who had just been discharged from the hospital after being admitted for gastroenteritis, to eat spicy snacks.¡± Chapter 133 - Apology

Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°But, hubby, I really paid attention. I brought warm water for dad. The spicy snacks he ate were rinsed in some water first. They weren¡¯t too spicy after that, so it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for him to eat some.¡± Ji Lingchen asked again, ¡°What else?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Nothing else.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Do I have to say it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, ¡°Tell me. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve made any other mistakes.¡± She seemed to shirk all fear of Ji Lingchen suddenly. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Did you eat ice cream today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. Ji Lingchen asked again, ¡°Are you sure?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again. Ji Lingchen asked for the third time, ¡°Do I have to produce evidence before you admit it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and said, ¡°Hubby, I was wrong to bring the spicy snacks, but don¡¯t nder me. I really wanted to eat ice cream today, but I only looked at it for ten minutes in the freezer at the entrance of the supermarket. If I said I didn¡¯t eat it, then I didn¡¯t eat it! I promised you. No matter how greedy I am, I wouldn¡¯t break a promise!¡± Ji Lingchen was actually just bluffing his wife. He did not expect her to be so obedient and stay away from ice cream. And because of his distrust, his wife was angry now. But in the beginning, it was clearly her fault. Now, he felt guilty. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I know. You didn¡¯t have ice cream. I was wrong to use you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said, ¡°Then apologize to me!¡± She was getting bolder and bolder. She did not know if it was because Ji Lingchen had been spoiling her too much recently. Ji Lingchen reached out to tap the tip of his wife¡¯s nose and said gently, ¡°Your hubby was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have doubted you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan crossed her arms across her chest and turned her head away proudly. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s toote to apologize now. I won¡¯t forgive you!¡± With that, she walked straight out of the study. Ji Lingchen was speechless. His status in the family seemed to be getting lower and lower. He was clearly the one who wanted to settle the score with his wife, but in the end, his wife became angry instead. After they left, Ji Wen quickly pulled Fang Xiaonuan to the side and asked, ¡°So how exactly is uncle nning to punish you?¡± Old Master Ji also curiously went over. Fang Xiaonuan surprised them by saying, ¡°We just apologized and it was over. We¡¯re husband and wife, so we can¡¯t fight.¡± Old Master Ji asked in confusion, ¡°When did he be so easy to talk to? You just apologized and he let you off?¡± Ji Wen was also very curious. ¡°Did my uncle really not give you any other punishment?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°What are you guys talking about? He apologized to me. Why should I be punished?¡± ¡°What? He apologized to you?¡± Old Master Ji shouted excitedly. He did not understand what had gone wrong. Was he a little confused? Did they not make a mistake first? Why would he apologize to Xiaonuan? Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, he actually used me of stealing the ice cream. Although he has already apologized to me, I haven¡¯t decided to forgive him yet!¡± The grandfather and grandson were at a loss for words. Ji Wen knew Fang Xiaonuan better. Although she was small, she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve. He asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, did you forget that we stole the spicy snacks first? Didn¡¯t you go to apologize?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. That¡¯s right! She had just entered the study to apologize. When she remembered, she said with a sad face, ¡°What should I do? I forgot. I didn¡¯t even treat your uncle well in the study just now.¡± Ji Wen patted her shoulder and said, ¡°Since we¡¯ve known each other for twelve years, I can¡¯t just leave you to the sharks. I¡¯ll prepare a good coffin for you. I¡¯ll also choose a good ce for your grave.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at Old Master Ji pitifully. ¡°Dad, save me. I¡­ I just lost my mind, and I suddenly lost my temper with my husband. What should I do?¡± Old Master Ji rolled his eyes and came up with a devious idea. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go in again and admit your mistake? Maybe you¡¯ll get lenient treatment.¡± ¡°But, but I don¡¯t dare to¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan was afraid. Thinking of her husband¡¯s temper toward his subordinates that day, she was very worried that she would not be able toe out alive if she went in again. However, Ji Wen actually pushed her shoulder and urged her forward. ¡°Go quickly. I¡¯ll definitely find you a beautiful cemetery with beautiful scenery. I¡¯ll also buy golden wood to use for your coffin. I guarantee that your corpse won¡¯t decay for a thousand years.¡± ¡°Ji Wen, Grandpa, don¡¯t push me!¡± While she was talking, Ji Wen had already pushed her back to the door of the study. Then, Ji Wen and Old Master Ji quickly fled, leaving her at the door. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two of them miserably. The two of them hid in a corner and waved at her, shouting in a low voice, ¡°Go quickly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to knock. Knock! Knock! Knock! There was no response. Chapter 134 - Letter of Guarantee

Fang Xiaonuan secretly pushed the door open a crack and observed the man inside through the small opening. The man was sitting there expressionlessly. Her heart trembled. She had not entered yet and was already scared out of her wits. But she had alreadye this far. She could not retreat any further. She mustered up her courage and opened the door. She walked in and closed the door softly. Her legs were short, and her steps were small. She slowly moved to Ji Lingchen¡¯s side. Then she lowered her head, fiddled with her fingers, and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, hubby. I didn¡¯t apologize just now. I was wrong.¡± Ji Lingchen was in a good mood. He looked up at his little wife. ¡°Wasn¡¯t your temper quite bad just now? Howe you¡¯re not throwing a tantrum?¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly shook her head. ¡°No, no, no. I don¡¯t have a bad temper.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°The way you have admitted your mistake is not satisfactory. I won¡¯t forgive you.¡± ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly, ¡°I understand my mistake. Please be patient and teach me. You can¡¯t hit me, right?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Hit you? Wouldn¡¯t that be domestic violence?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes, hubby. I knew you wouldn¡¯t hit your wife.¡± ¡°Your wife is so young and insensible. You have to be patient with her!¡± ¡°I¡¯m still a child. If I do something wrong and I¡¯ve already admitted my mistake, don¡¯t you have to give me a chance to correct it?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, who was trying to argue with him. ¡°Then what if I don¡¯t give you a chance?¡± ¡°Hubby, just give me one chance. Don¡¯t be so heartless. I beg you¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged her husband¡¯s arm and said coquettishly, ¡°I swear that from today onwards, I won¡¯t eat any snacks during my period. I won¡¯t eat any snacks.¡± ¡°I swear that from now on, I will listen to you. I will not talk back, fight, or make you angry.¡± ¡°I also swear that I will not lose my temper with you in the future. I will not speak ill of you behind your back. How about this? Hubby, I beg you¡­¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was still cold. He took out a piece of A4 paper and handed it to his wife. ¡°There¡¯s no proof. Go and write a guarantee.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said in surprise. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Once the guarantee is written, stick it on the headboard of the bed. This way, you can see it every day and that¡¯ll remind you to abide by the words written on it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°No, hubby, I will remember it¡­¡± Ji Lingchen smiled evilly. ¡°No!¡± Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip. If she had known this would happen, she would have said less. She was dawdling on the spot. It was obvious that she did not want to write it out. Ji Lingchen took his wife¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°Are you going to write it or not?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said aggrievedly, ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s too embarrassing to write a guarantee.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°How about this? You say something that I want to hear. If I¡¯m satisfied, you don¡¯t have to write a guarantee. How about it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan could ept this punishment. Wasn¡¯t it just saying something nice? She was full of nice sentiments. She opened her mouth and said, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re so handsome!¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re the most handsome man in the world. All the women in the world like you.¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head again. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re my heart, my baby, my sweet, candied fruit!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t keep watching those TV shows. You don¡¯t seem to care at all. Keep trying!¡± Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue. ¡°Hubby, what exactly do you want to hear?¡± ¡°Think about it yourself. If you can¡¯t think of anything, just write a guarantee,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan was anxious. What exactly did her hubby want to hear? Suddenly, she had an idea. ¡°Hubby, why don¡¯t I learn how to meow for you?¡± Didn¡¯t her hubby always treat her like a kitten? Ji Lingchen pulled his wife into his arms and flicked her forehead. ¡°Toss away all the dirty ideas in your head.¡± Fang Xiaonuan hung her head. ¡°Okay.¡± She looked up at the white paper. Was she really going to write a guarantee? So annoying! After a moment of silence, she suddenly whispered, ¡°Hubby, do you want to hear me say that I like you?¡± Although her voice was as soft as a mosquito¡¯s buzzing, Ji Lingchen could hear it clearly. His little wife¡¯s voice was soft to begin with, and her words were so direct. It was as if his heart had been shot by an arrow. It made his entire body ache and go numb. He had never felt anything like this before. It was very novel and veryfortable. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed as he looked at the girl in front of him, whose cheeks were flushed red. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was tomato red. She muttered to herself, ¡°So, you don¡¯t want to hear that either.¡± Just as she had given up on struggling and was about to obediently write the letter of guarantee, the A4 paper on the table was suddenly taken away. Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. ¡°Huh? Hubby?¡± Chapter 135 - Lie

Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m satisfied.¡± With that, he ced his wife on the ground, got up, and held her hand as they walked out of the study. Outside the room, the grandfather and grandson were still waiting for Fang Xiaonuan to be punished. They were surprised to see here out unscathed, and with her hand grasped by Ji Lingchen. Ji Wen leaned over and asked softly, ¡°How did it go?¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Ji Wen asked, ¡°What did my uncle say?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°He didn¡¯t say anything, and he didn¡¯t punish me.¡± Ji Wen asked suspiciously, ¡°Then how did you repent for your mistake?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I told you that I liked him.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. Old Master Ji was speechless. Sure enough, it was easy to get things done with a sweet mouth! Fang Xiaonuan followed her husband back to the bedroom. She asked tentatively, ¡°Hubby, did you hear what I said just now?¡± Ji Lingchen smiled and said, ¡°Which part?¡± With just a nce, Fang Xiaonuan knew that the man had heard it. She said angrily, ¡°Hmph, I won¡¯t say it again if you didn¡¯t hear it.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled even more happily. ¡°Don¡¯t forget the oath you swore to me. If you¡¯re still not obedient, I¡¯ll really have to punish you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°Oh, I understand.¡± ¡­ After this warning, Fang Xiaonuan became extremely obedient for the next few days. Every morning, she would bring a cup of brown sugar water to ss. When she returned home, she would ask for her husband¡¯s approval. ¡°Hubby, I was extremely obedient today. I didn¡¯t eat ice cream or snacks. I didn¡¯t even go to the supermarket to look at them.¡± Each time, Ji Lingchen rewarded his wife with a smile and apliment. ¡°You were so obedient today!¡± When Ji Lingchen had social events to attend, he would call Fang Xiaonuan in advance to inform her. ¡°Have dinner without me. Don¡¯t wait up tonight. I have social events to attend.¡± Fang Xiaonuan would also kindly reply, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ll leave the door open for you. Don¡¯t drink too much ande back early.¡± Every time Ji Lingchen reached home, his wife would already be sleeping soundly. However, there was always a small light on the bedroom wall left on for him. ¡­ Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiaonuan had already been in school for a month. She treated the Ji family¡¯s residence as her own home and the ce no longer repulsed her. After living in the Ji family residence for a long time, she felt that everyone in the Ji family was very cute. Originally, she had thought that Old Master Ji was a serious and old-fashioned little old man. Later, she realized that he was sometimes like an old child, always willing to y cards with her, eat snacks and watch TV. Ji Wen was originally a little bully at home. After Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan moved into the Ji family residence, even the little bully became obedient every day. Feng Qi was a simple-minded person. She would treat people well if they treated her well too. After the misunderstanding between her and Fang Xiaonuan was resolved, they became best friends. Sometimes, Feng Qi would even treat her as a daughter. She would always say, ¡°Xiaonuan, if you weren¡¯t Lingchen¡¯s wife, I could take you as my goddaughter.¡± When he heard this, Ji Lingchen would quickly pull his little wife away, as if he was afraid that she would be snatched away. Mayor Ji did not speak much, but he was indeed a very tolerant person. He was tolerant of everyone in the family and was very much like a big brother to everyone. Fang Xiaonuan would asionally make Ji Lingchen angry, and she would run to Feng Qi¡¯s room to hide. Mayor Ji wouldfort his younger brother. If Feng Qi¡¯s temper red up, he would alsofort his wife. Old Master Ji was still as stubborn as ever. When he quarreled with Ji Lingchen, Mayor Ji would act as the mediator. Of course, Ji Wen was an exception. Every time Ji Lingchen punished Ji Wen for his mistakes, Mayor Ji would say, ¡°Serves him right!¡± Of course, Fang Xiaonuan loved her husband the most. Not only did he bring her to nice restaurants, but he also apanied her to her mother¡¯s house, gave her gifts, and hugged her every night while she slept. Every day when she woke up, she was happy to see Ji Lingchen. ¡­ That day, Fang Xiaonuan had just finished a ss when Ji Lingchen suddenly called. ¡°Do you want me to pick you up from school today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan decisively refused. ¡°No, I¡¯m the school belle now. So many eyes are watching me. If youe over, our rtionship will soon be exposed.¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°So, do you despise me?¡± ¡°Did I make it so obvious? Ugh, you should have kept it to yourself. Did you have to say it out loud?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with a smile. Lin Qian had seen this. Fang Xiaonuan said happily, ¡°I won¡¯t talk to you for now. I have a ss to get to soon. Bye bye.¡± After hanging up the phone, she was still smiling. After a while, she made another call and said excitedly, ¡°Come quickly¡­ Don¡¯t let my husband find out, or I¡¯ll be finished.¡± ¡°Yes, park your car under the second tree at the eastern gate. Wait for me. I¡¯lle right away.¡± ¡°I just lied to my husband that I have a sster. He probably did not suspect a thing.¡± Chapter 136 - Grasping at Straws

Ever since Lin Qian found out that Fang Xiaonuan had married Ji Lingchen, she had been controlling herself. She had even forced herself to tter Fang Xiaonuan, but she had not expected Fang Xiaonuan topletely ignore her. However, she did not give up and ran off to seduce Ji Wen again. She had deliberately acted pitifully in front of Ji Wen, pretending to be weak, hoping to get Ji Wen¡¯s love. However, Ji Wen was an unromantic guy. He actually called her sick in public. From then on, every time Ji Wen saw her, he avoided her like the gue. He did not give her a chance to get close to him at all. And Liu Siyu, who was with Ji Wen, was even more direct. She said, ¡°Ugh, isn¡¯t this the legendary Lin Qian, a cousin of the family that heads the Lin Corporation? Isn¡¯t this the girl who released an indecent video? She spent money to pay off a troll army to nder my best friend, but in the end, she was mercilessly exposed!¡± Her words clearly exined Lin Qian¡¯s past scandals. Furthermore, her voice was loud, and the surrounding people all gathered around to watch, making Lin Qian very embarrassed. From then on, Lin Qian gave up on the idea of fawning over them. However, she would secretly observe them, hoping to find something that could be used against them. This way, not only would she be able to cover up her dark history, but she would also be able to take revenge on them. Finally, she had gained something! Fang Xiaonuan had actually lied to Ji Lingchen! They clearly had no more sses, yet she had lied and said that there would be more sses in a while. She was definitely arranging a secret meeting with a man. Lin Qian smiled. How interesting. She wanted to see what Fang Xiaonuan was about to do! Lin Qian was not a brainless person. She would not casually spread the news that Fang Xiaonuan was married. After all, Ji Lingchen was not some street thug. He was the king of the business world in Jing City. He was someone that they often talked about in ss! If she were to spread the news that Fang Xiaonuan was married to Ji Lingchen, not only would it be of no benefit to her, but it would also make Fang Xiaonuan even more popr in school! She would not want to tter Fang Xiaonuan like that. Furthermore, she hated Fang Xiaonuan. There were many students on campus, so Fang Xiaonuan had no idea that she was being followed. She first went back to the ssroom and asked Liu Siyu, ¡°Are you really noting with us?¡± Liu Siyu shook her head. ¡°My brother got off work early today and wanted me to go clothes shopping with him.¡± Ji Wen raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Liu Siyu, although you¡¯re supposed to apany your brother, why do you always end up buying clothes and skirts?¡± ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m spending my brother¡¯s money, and my brother doesn¡¯t have any objections. Do you have any objections?¡± Liu Siyu said and rolled her eyes at Ji Wen. Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen. ¡°Are we going or not? Dad is already waiting for us under the second tree at the eastern gate!¡± Ji Wen shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not going. If I go, I¡¯ll have to pay for everything, and I¡¯ll have to contribute. I might as well just go home.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯ll pay this time.¡± Ji Wen replied, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. You¡¯re so stingy!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s true. My husband has already said that he¡¯ll pay for all my expenses!¡± Ji Wen pointed out the window excitedly. ¡°Hey, big sis, have you ever seen anyone eat at the snack street and ask for a receipt so she can get reimbursed? Have you forgotten that you secretly went there? And you even dared to ask my uncle to reimburse you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan kept silent. Liu Siyu pped her thigh andughed. ¡°Hahaha, Xiaonuan, you¡¯re going to lose money today!¡± Ji Wen was not stupid. He definitely would not go! After school, the three of them took off in different directions. Fang Xiaonuan was carrying a backpack as she skipped out of the eastern gate. As soon as she walked out of the school gate, she saw a well-dressed old man standing by the side of the road. The old man¡¯s hair was already more than half white, but he was full of energy. The old man was holding his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery outside the school. Students passed by him one by one. Every one of them was so youthful and energetic. The old man smiled and nodded. He said to himself, ¡°Well, as expected of Xiaonuan¡¯s ssmates. They are all quite energetic. All of them are handsome young men!¡± ¡°Dad, why are you standing here? Get in the car quickly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly ran over and opened the car door. She practically grabbed Old Master Ji¡¯s arm and led him into the car. Then, she put down her backpack and got into the car. ¡°Dad, Xiaowen isn¡¯ting. He can¡¯t bear to spend money.¡± As expected, Old Master Jiined, ¡°My grandson is really stingy! He can¡¯t even bear to spend some money on his grandfather. Xiaonuan, Tell Ji Lingchen to cut off his allowance and let him have a taste of his own medicine.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°No problem, leave it to me.¡± The pair in the car did not know that someone was filming them.

Fang Xiaonuan had already promised her father-inw that she would bring him to the snack street near the school to eat delicious food. When Old Master Ji was in the hospital, she had agreed to this to make him happy. The weather today was cloudless and sunny. It was a good day to go to the snack street, so she and Old Master Ji had secretly agreed to go there after school. In the car, the two of them discussed which snacks were worth tasting. Behind their car, a taxi was quietly following them. When they arrived at the ce, Fang Xiaonuan pointed at the slightly dpidated small shop on the side of the street and said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t look down on these ces. They are small but they are old establishments. ording to previous students of our school, they serve real delicacies here!¡± Old Master Ji looked around and seemed to be very satisfied with these small and dpidated stores. ¡°Coming here feels like returning to Beijing forty years ago. I like it very much.¡± With his hands behind his back, Old Master Ji seemed like a big leader who hade to inspect the space. What was different was that Old Master Ji was very satisfied with the dpidated scene here. Old Master Ji asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, which restaurant are we going to?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pointed at a restaurant not far away that served fried shrimp and said, ¡°Dad, I strongly rmend that restaurant!¡± Old Master Ji beamed as he followed his daughter-inw to that restaurant. Meanwhile, their little spy took many pictures of the two of them. They were eating happily when their phone suddenly rang. When they took out their phones to take a look, Fang Xiaonuan was so scared that she dropped her chopsticks. Old Master Ji nced at his daughter-inw¡¯s phone screen. The caller ID was ¡°Big Tiger¡±. He asked curiously, ¡°Xiaonuan, who is Big Tiger?¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly took off her disposable gloves, drank some water, and rinsed her mouth. She cleared her throat before pressing the answer button and said sweetly, ¡°Hello¡­¡± Looking at his daughter-inw¡¯s expression, Old Master Ji was even more curious about who ¡°Big Tiger¡± was. Just as he was about to ask, Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, what¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Old Master Ji was stunned. ¡°Big Tiger¡± was his second son, Ji Lingchen? What kind of strange nickname was that? However, he wisely kept his mouth shut. The two of them had secretly snuck out and he could not let his son know he was here. On the phone, CEO Ji was in a good mood. He asked gently, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said softly, ¡°I¡¯m still in ss.¡± CEO Ji asked in confusion, ¡°Why does it sound so noisy?¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly hid under the table and said, ¡°We were discussing a problem, so it got a little noisy. Um, hubby, what are you doing?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m working overtime at the office.¡± Fang Xiaonuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Oh, I see.¡± What she was actually thinking was, ¡®It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine.¡¯. When the waiter saw Fang Xiaonuan squatting under the table for so long, he thought that she had dropped her chopsticks and was prepared to go forward to ask. Old Master Ji was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up to stop the waiter and made a silent gesture toward her. Old Master Ji mouthed, ¡°It¡¯s alright, she¡¯s on the phone.¡± Although the waiter was a little puzzled, he did not say much. He quickly made an OK gesture and left. Their behavior in the shop attracted a lot of attention. Everyone looked at them curiously. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°What time does school end?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I might be a littlete today. It depends on when the teacher will let us go¡­ Take what? Hubby, I can¡¯t talk anymore. I have to rejoin the ss. Mwah, Bye bye.¡± After finally hanging up the phone, Fang Xiaonuan climbed out from under the table. She let out a long breath and said, ¡°Phew¡­ I was really scared to death.¡± Old Master Ji asked, ¡°How did it go? You didn¡¯t get discovered, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said proudly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Dad. My acting is great. I won¡¯t get discovered!¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought about it. Although her husband was at thepany, she still had to remind Ji Wen that they were in the same ss. If Ji Wen returned early and she was still in ss, she would be exposed. She hurriedly called Ji Wen. In a car not far away sat two men with outstanding looks. Their gazes were fixed on a small shop on the street. To be precise, they were looking at the people in the shop. The one in the driver¡¯s seat was none other than the king of Jing City¡¯s business world that Fang Xiaonuan often talked about in ss. In the passenger seat sat a young boy. He said, ¡°Uncle, are you really not going to catch my grandfather and aunt in the act?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s mind was still filled with the sound of his wife¡¯s kiss through the phone. His temper was not ring anymore. He shook his head. His gaze was locked on the girl who was eating shrimp. ¡°That¡¯s not your aunt. Your aunt is in school!¡± Chapter 138 - My Grandson is Jealous!

Ji Wen was speechless. Now, he seriously suspected that his uncle had been possessed! He had clearly seen it with his own eyes, but he refused to admit it. Could it be that a man¡¯s IQ would decline after marriage? At this moment, his cell phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Ji Wen said, ¡°Uncle, my aunt, who is currently in ss, is calling me.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Put her on speaker. Answer it.¡± CEO Ji¡¯s attention was on the phone. Ji Wen picked it up and put her on speaker. ¡°Hello, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Xiaowen, don¡¯t go home now. Just find a ce to drink milk tea or eat something. Just don¡¯t go home! My husband is working overtime at the office. If he finds out that you went home earlier than me, you¡¯ll expose me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said quickly. Ji Wen turned to look at his uncle. His wife was lying to him. Why was he still smiling? Why did he look like he was in a good mood? ¡°Hey, Xiaowen. Ji Wen? Are you listening?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not hear his reply. She asked anxiously, ¡°Where are you now? Did you go home already?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°No, I haven¡¯t. I haven¡¯t gone home yet.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That¡¯s good then. You mustn¡¯t go back!¡± Ji Wen did not dare toply immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen nodded at Ji Wen. Only then did Ji Wen say, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t go home. Then¡­ Good luck!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. ¡°What does that mean?¡± But Ji Wen had already hung up. No one answered her question. After hanging up, Ji Wen looked at his uncle and asked, ¡°Uncle, what exactly are you happy about?¡± Ji Lingchen did not answer. Instead, he asked, ¡°Tell me, is she hiding it from me because she¡¯s afraid of me?¡± Ji Wen nodded. ¡°Is that why you¡¯re so happy?¡± Ji Lingchen turned to look at his wife, who was enjoying her meal. The corners of his lips curled up. ¡°Being afraid of me means that she cares about me.¡± She cared about him. How could he not be happy? Ji Wen wondered if all married people experienced such a strange sense of satisfaction. ¡®This is really too¡­¡¯ Ji Wen had goosebumps all over his body. In the shop, Fang Xiaonuan was thinking about what Ji Wen had said as she ate. ¡°Dad, what do you think Ji Wen meant when he wished me good luck just now? I keep feeling that he¡¯s trying to tell me something. Could it be that my husband has already discovered us?¡± Old Master Ji peeled a shrimp and put it into his mouth. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. Even if Ji Wen drives home, Ji Lingchen would not be home. He could not have met him.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded and stuffed a few peeled shrimps into her mouth. She said quietly, ¡°Mm, you¡¯re right, but why is my heart beating so fast?¡± ¡°Ugh, my grandson is just jealous of our delicious food. Don¡¯t worry about him!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s mouth was full of grease. He thought to himself, ¡®This shellfish tastes really good.¡¯ Normally, he would not be able to eat such delicious food. In the future, he would have to follow his daughter-inw, the real foodie, to find such tasty food! Fang Xiaonuan nodded her head vigorously. She felt that her father-inw¡¯s analysis was very reasonable. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if Ji Wen drives home, it would take him at least half an hour. Moreover, he didn¡¯t drive to school today. He definitely hasn¡¯t arrived home yet.¡± ¡°Moreover, my husband was still at thepany just now. It¡¯s impossible for them to meet.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Let¡¯s not think about that. Hurry up and eat. After this, another round!¡± The two of them continued eating. In the car, the two of them just watched quietly. Ji Wen suddenly asked, ¡°Uncle, why did youe to school today?¡± There were three gates at Jing University. Fang Xiaonuan went to the eastern gate to meet Old Master Ji. Liu Siyu went to the western gate to look for her brother, while Ji Wen wanted to go to the nearest gate, the southern gate. He wanted to hail a taxi and head straight to the arcade. However, just as he reached out to hail a taxi, a familiar car stopped in front of him. The car window rolled down, revealing Ji Lingchen¡¯s face. Then, he ordered, ¡°Get in the car.¡± Ji Wen had said, ¡°Uncle? Why are you here?¡± He obediently got into the passenger seat. Ji Lingchen knocked on his head and asked with a gloomy face, ¡°Why did you skip ss?¡± Ji Wen was scolded for no reason and hurriedly defended himself. ¡°Uncle, I didn¡¯t skip ss!¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned. But his little wife had said that she had a ss in a while. Could it be¡­ the man already had a good guess. Then, Ji Wen took out a strong piece of evidence to prove his innocence. ¡°Uncle, this is our ss schedule. Look at it yourself!¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the ss schedule and frowned. As he had thought, his little wife had lied to him again! He asked coldly, ¡°Where¡¯s your aunt?¡± Chapter 139 - Strange Nickname

Ji Wen then remembered what Fang Xiaonuan had done and instantly regretted what he had said. He could only stutter, ¡°She¡­ She should still be making up lessons at school.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you onest chance!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were full of menace as he looked at his nephew. ¡°Where is she?¡± Ji Wen did not want to betray his friend like this, so he said stubbornly, ¡°She¡¯s in ss.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Alright, your dance teacher told me that you¡¯re not fit for Latin. Why don¡¯t you transfer to the ballet ss?¡± Right after he said that, Ji Wen hurriedly said, ¡°She and Grandpa made an deal to go to the snack street to eat shellfish after school today. That restaurant is in the middle of the snack street. We used to go there to have dinner together. She wanted me to go with her, but I did not feel like betraying you, so I decisively refused.¡± At this moment, Ji Wen had long forgotten about his friendship. Protecting his own life was the most important thing! He spoke in great detail, even describing the location of the restaurant. He even deliberately emphasized their roles in this. ¡°She and Grandpa made the nst week. They deliberately picked a time when you would be busiest, which was today.¡± Ji Lingchen sneered. So that was how it was. To think that he had speciallye to pick her up from school today. He wanted to surprise her and take her to Shuxiang Garden. In the end, she had ns and even lied to him! If he had not run into Ji Wen, he would have really been fooled! Ji Lingchen started the car and followed his nephew¡¯s directions to the restaurant. Ji Lingchen watched Fang Xiaonuan eat for a long time. Later, Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang. It was because thepany needed him to take care of something, so he drove away and dropped Ji Wen off at an intersection closer to home. He warned him, ¡°Walk home by yourself. Don¡¯t mention anything to her about what happened today.¡± Ji Wen nodded obediently and watched his uncle leave. When Fang Xiaonuan returned home, she saw that Ji Lingchen had not returned home yet. She happily high-fived Old Master Ji. ¡°Dad, we¡¯re so lucky!¡± Ji Wen, who was sitting on the sofa, saw the two of them celebrate. He shook his head helplessly. They were about to be done for, and they did not know it yet. Fang Xiaonuan went upstairs and took a nice shower. She washed off the smell of chili, then sprayed on Ji Lingchen¡¯s favorite perfume and quietly waited for her husband to return home. Later that night, Ji Lingchen returned home. Fang Xiaonuan smiled and went up to greet him. When she saw Ji Lingchen, her eyes scrunched up with happiness. Ji Lingchen smiled and asked, ¡°Are you that happy to see me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Of course. You¡¯re my husband. Of course, I¡¯m happy to see you!¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you let me pick you up from school today?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. She said softly, ¡°That¡¯s because my husband is too handsome. I¡¯m afraid that others will be jealous of me. My husband is so rich, and others will be envious of me. My husband is so good. I don¡¯t want others to see him!¡± Ji Wen, who was passing by, heard this and immediately spat out the milk he was drinking. ¡®D*mn!¡¯ He did not know that Fang Xiaonuan could sweet talk so well. She could even say such mushy words! The man was in an extremely good mood. He reached out to hug his wife¡¯s slender waist and said, ¡°You have so many sses in the afternoon. Are you tired?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded shamelessly and said, ¡°I¡¯m really tired. Today¡¯s ss schedule was really full. My hand hurts from writing¡­¡± Ji Wen, who was eavesdropping, thought to himself, ¡®Scr*w you! Your hand hurts from peeling shrimps!¡¯ If Ji Lingchen had not seen his wife eating at snack street this afternoon with his own eyes, he would have been deceived. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Come. I¡¯ll massage it for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded and stretched out her little hand. ¡°Sure, sure!¡± Ji Wen grabbed a small stool and waited for his uncle to set his wife straight! However, even when she stopped saying flowery words, he did not hear Ji Lingchen scold her. He acted as if he did not know anything about today¡¯s events. Old Master Ji had juste out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He had satisfied his cravings today but still wanted more. However, he was in a very good mood. When he saw his son and daughter-inw, he took the initiative to ask, ¡°Lingchen, what is Xiaonuan¡¯s name in your phone?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°Kitten.¡± ¡°Yo! You two lovebirds are really strange. Other people use nicknames like ¡®Darling¡¯ or ¡®Precious¡¯. With you two, one is ¡®Kitten¡¯ and the other is ¡®Big Tiger¡¯! How strange!¡± Old Master Ji said. Ji Lingchen turned to look at his wife, who was clutching his arm, and asked with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m a big tiger?¡± Chapter 140 - Hints and Guidance

A certain kitten replied coquettishly, ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯re my husband. My husband is the king of the business world, and the tiger is the king of the jungle. That¡¯s why I call you ¡®Big Tiger¡¯. Hehe, husband, do you like this nickname?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I still prefer you to nickname me, ¡®Husband¡¯.¡± Fang Xiaonuan curled into her husband¡¯s embrace. ¡°Hmph, then you have to change my nickname to ¡®Wife¡¯¡­¡± Ji Lingchen lovingly poked his wife¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°What a child!¡± Old Master Ji thought to himself, ¡®Is my second son and daughter-inw showing off their love?¡¯ Ji Wen thought to himself, ¡®Do it. Why don¡¯t you teach Fang Xiaonuan a lesson?¡¯ It was gettingte. Ji Lingchen embraced his wife and they went back to the bedroom. After entering the room, he locked the door and took off his jacket. Fang Xiaonuan took his clothes from him and carefully hung them up. Just as she was taking care of her husband¡¯s clothes, Ji Lingchen suddenly hugged her from behind. He put his head on the top of her head and whispered into her ear, ¡°Xiaonuan, have you ever lied to your husband? Hmm?¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt as if she had been electrocuted. The warmth by her ear made her heart stop and her face turn red. Did she lie to her husband? Of course, she did! Didn¡¯t she just lie to him a few days ago? She stayed silent. Ji Lingchen turned her around and looked at his wife. She had a conflicted look in her eyes. He asked again, ¡°Did you lie to me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and nodded guiltily. A smile immediately appeared on the man¡¯s face. Getting that answer was enough! ¡°The elevator thing was a long time ago. You don¡¯t have to feel guilty about it anymore,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly raised her head to look at her husband. Ji Lingchen deliberately gave her a way out and said, ¡°Don¡¯t take that matter to heart. In the future, you have to remember to be more obedient. No matter what you do, I will forgive you.¡± This included lying. Ji Lingchen was too confident when he said this. He did not know that in a few days, his little wife would drive him mad because of these very words! After saying this, Ji Lingchen went to take a shower. Fang Xiaonuan let out a long sigh of relief and sighed. ¡®People really shouldn¡¯t do bad things if they feel so uneasy about itter.¡¯ In the middle of the night, Ji Lingchen started to tease his little wife again. To be exact, it was his little wife who made the first move. It waste at night. After showering, Ji Lingchen habitually leaned against the headboard of the bed to read. The kitten, who was used to sleeping on her husband¡¯s arm, felt ufortable. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She simply rolled to Ji Lingchen¡¯s side and snatched his book. ¡°Hubby, stop reading. This book isn¡¯t as good as me. Let¡¯s sleep!¡± Ji Lingchen lowered his gaze to look at her. ¡°Should I watch you fall asleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes, I can even warm the bed!¡± Since that was the case, Ji Lingchen ced the book on the bedside table and turned off the lights. The bedroom instantly plunged into darkness. Fang Xiaonuan raised her head. Ji Lingchen tacitly put his arm down. She turned sideways and slipped into Ji Lingchen¡¯s arms. They only took up a small space on the huge bed. ¡°Do you know how tigers treat kittens?¡± Ji Lingchen asked in a low voice. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head in her husband¡¯s arms. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°They eat them!¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen turned and leaned over his wife. Then, he fumbled to unbutton her pajamas and said, ¡°Just like this.¡± He was hinting at what he wanted to do with his wife. If she responded a little, they could continue. However, his wife seemed to be too slow. She did not seem to understand what he meant. Fang Xiaonuan smiled coquettishly in his arms. Her voice was clear and melodious; it sounded very pleasant. ¡°Hehe, Hubby, you¡¯re not a real tiger. Even if you were a real tiger, it wouldn¡¯t be easy to marry a kitten. You can¡¯t bear to eat me. Otherwise, your wife will be gone!¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchenughed out loud and then leaned over to block his little wife¡¯s eloquent little mouth. Now, she started to understand where this was going. Ji Lingchen continued to guide her. ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t you think that when you¡¯re the wife of a big tiger, you should give birth to a little tiger?¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and said, ¡°No, the little cat¡¯s stomach is too small. It can¡¯t support a little tiger.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°How do we know if it can hold a little tiger without trying?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to try. The TV program said that if the kitten is pregnant with a little tiger, it can¡¯t even feed milk,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Then we¡¯ll ask the wet nurse to feed it.¡± Chapter 141 - The Affairs of the School Belle

¡°That won¡¯t do. I¡¯d rather let my son drink milk form instead of another woman¡¯s milk!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. The man on top of her smiled. It was not that his wife did not understand his hints. She was just a little shy. Hearing the man¡¯sughter, Fang Xiaonuan bashfully pounded his chest and said, ¡°Get off. Don¡¯t squish me.¡± Ji Lingchen reached out to hold his wife¡¯s head and kissed her again. Fang Xiaonuan blushed shyly and hit the man a few times to vent her anger. She spent the night immersed in her sweet rtionship. So, she was not aware that a post about her had be popr on the school¡¯s forum. Shocking! Jing University¡¯s Campus Belle is Dating an Old Tycoon! Jing University¡¯s campus belle was having a low profile date with a sugar daddy on the street. Urgent: The Campus Belle Affairs, Chapter One. The post was full of photos and text, and the evidence was very clear. Not only was there a photo of Fang Xiaonuan holding onto Old Master Ji¡¯s arm and getting into the car, but there was also a photo of the two eating shrimp. There was even a video of Fang Xiaonuan teaching Old Master Ji how to peel the shrimp. After Old Master Ji learned how to do it, the two of themughed very happily. In order to get more clicks, some people even drewics of the scene and posted them. At night, it was a good time for rumors to spread. It continued to spread until three in the morning. In the school dormitory, some students who did not sleep forwarded their posts to their friends to fuel the gossip. ¡°Look at this, there are photos and videos. The campus belle is really dating an old man!¡± ¡°Hey, hey, don¡¯t sleep. Isn¡¯t this your goddess, Fang Xiaonuan? Look, she¡¯s not only flirting! She¡¯s truly dating the old man!¡± ¡°Everyone,e and see. I heard that the campus belle of Jing University has fallen for someone!¡± ¡­ Everyone came to see what themotion was about. The situation was getting more and more intense. Dear readers! you are reading on our content copy site.Please copy and search this link " /39h6j " to support us The number of hits on the posts was still rising. There were more than a thousandments about her. Within three hours, the total number ofments on the three posts had exceeded ten thousand. The number of logged on users exceeded the website¡¯s limit. It even crashed for a time. However, some had already saved the posts and circted them throughout the school¡¯s group chats. The school¡¯s group main chat exploded as well. Even some of the teachers who had not gone to bed yet were gossiping about this matter. The influence of this matter depended on how famous Fang Xiaonuan was. Her scandal surpassed the gossip about Lin Qian. Seeing that her n had seeded, Lin Qianughed out loud in satisfaction. Of course, there were also some students who knew Fang Xiaonuan better. The ones who knew her called her one after the other, asking her to quickly refute the rumors. At four o¡¯clock, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s phone rang. She was currently in her husband¡¯s arms, having a beautiful dream. Initially, she was a little angry with her husband. She hugged her pillow and scooted to the other side of the bed to sleep, avoiding him. However, after falling asleep, she habitually rolled back into her husband¡¯s arms. She heard her phone ring. In a daze, she said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s so annoying. Go answer it!¡± The phone also woke Ji Lingchen up. He answered the call. ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± The ssmate on the other end of the phone was stunned! A man had picked up Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s phone! She did not dare to say a word. She initially believed that Fang Xiaonuan would not do this, but now she really began to suspect that the post had been true. She hurriedly hung up the phone. Ji Lingchen frowned and nced at the screen. After confirming that the call had been hung up, he put the phone aside. The next day, Fang Xiaonuan followed Ji Wen to school. As soon as she got out of the car, she noticed that many people were staring at her strangely. There were even people secretly taking photos of her and Ji Wen. The forum page became even more lively. Someone uploaded a photo of the two of them with the caption, ¡°How pitiful! He still doesn¡¯t know who his girlfriend is and they haven¡¯t broken up yet!¡± ¡°My heart aches for Xiaowen. Why is he blind enough to fall in love with a woman like that?¡± ¡°Someone! Go and save my Prince Charming. He¡¯s been blinded by that little sl*t!¡± ¡­ Ji Wen was the Prince Charming of Jing University. He did not know how he was chosen, and he only found out after his ssmates told him. Fang Xiaonuan hung out with Ji Wen all day long. They went to and from school together and ate together. Everyone had long assumed that the two of them were a couple. As for Liu Siyu, everyone had their own opinions. ¡°Ji Wen, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a little weird?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked with a frown. Ji Wen looked at the students around him and replied, ¡°It¡¯s not a little weird, it¡¯s very weird!¡± At that moment, Liu Siyu called. ¡°Xiaonuan, Xiaowen, go to the school forum immediately. D*mn it! I don¡¯t know which b*stard is spreading rumors about Xiaonuan again. Quick, take a look!¡± Liu Siyu said angrily. Her brother, who was driving her to school, could not help but say, ¡°Girls should be careful with what they say.¡± Chapter 142 - Twin Sister

Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, this is a big deal. No, I have to call the police. Someone is spreading rumors about my friend!¡± Liu Siyan smiled dotingly at his sister. ¡°Okay, I will help you call the police myself!¡± Upon hearing Liu Siyu¡¯s instruction, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen quickly opened the school¡¯s forum page. They did not need to search for it. The forum was extremely popr, and it was the first search result. They saw all sorts of news about Fang Xiaonuan and the insultingments that followed. There were evenments that insulted Old Master Ji. Fang Xiaonuan could not help but clench her fists. Ji Wen also frowned as he read. He kept swiping on the phone. He even opened the forum¡¯s homepage to see which daring person had been spreading rumors about them! In the end, when he clicked on it, he discovered that it was a newly registered ount. Ji Wen put down his phone helplessly and said coldly, ¡°I can¡¯t be in school anymore. Let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°No, if we go home now, it would be like confirming the rumors.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suppressed her anger and said, ¡°If I find out who did it, I won¡¯t let them get away with this!¡± She was also wondering who she had offended recently. Ji Wen picked up his phone again. ¡°I¡¯ll inform my uncle about this first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°We can¡¯t ask your uncle to solve every problem we encounter. We can¡¯t keep causing trouble for him.¡± After thinking for a moment, she decided that she should not leave, but if she went to ss, it would cause quite amotion. ¡°Why don¡¯t you announce that the man yesterday was your father-inw?¡± Ji Wen asked. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again. ¡°My father is about the same age. If someone had said that he was my grandfather, they might have believed it. But we say that he was my father-inw, no one will believe it.¡± ¡°Even if you announce that I¡¯m married now, no one will believe that the man was my father-inw.¡± ¡°Even if you tell everyone that Ji Lingchen is my husband, no one would believe it!¡± ¡°Unless you get your uncle toe forward personally to rify things, but if you do that, it will still cause trouble for your uncle.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°But you can¡¯t really say that he¡¯s your grandfather, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan had not beaten up Ji Wen for quite some time. She raised her hand and hit him on the head. ¡°Are you stupid? He¡¯s my father-inw. If you say that he¡¯s my grandfather now, won¡¯t it still be troublesome if I announce my identity in the future?¡± Ji Wen rubbed the back of his head. ¡°My uncle already hit me yesterday, and you¡¯re hitting me again today. You two are really too much!¡± ¡°My husband hit you? When did he hit you? Why didn¡¯t I know it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked in confusion. Ji Wen realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly said, ¡°I was wrong. It wasn¡¯t yesterday. It was the day before yesterday.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not have Ji Lingchen¡¯s insight and did not see through Ji Wen¡¯s lie. After a while, Liu Siyu arrived at school. Liu Siyan also got out of the car. He walked over and knocked on the car window. ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly thanked him. ¡°Liu Siyan, thank you for your kindness. But with the current situation, it¡¯s better that I settle it on my own.¡± Liu Siyan naturally understood what Fang Xiaonuan meant. He said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to the police station first. If you need my help, ask Siyu to contact me.¡± Liu Siyu grabbed her brother¡¯s hand and said coquettishly, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t leave. Go and tell our school¡¯s leaders to delete the posts on the forum!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said rationally, ¡°Siyu, deleting the posts won¡¯t shut everyone up. Things will only get worse. Don¡¯t make things difficult for your brother. I can handle this myself.¡± Liu Siyan nodded at Fang Xiaonuan and left. Liu Siyu got into Ji Wen¡¯s car. ¡°Well, you let my brother leave. What should we do next? Last night, my brother confiscated my phone, so I didn¡¯t see the posts.¡± The three of them did not live on campus, so when this happened, they were not notified immediately. ¡°Actually, my rtionship with Xiaowen is the easiest to resolve.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen, then turned back to look at Liu Siyu in the backseat. The two of them asked at the same time, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with a mischievous smile, ¡°Don¡¯t you think that the two of you look like a married couple?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Are you joking at a time like this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m not joking. You and Xiaowen are really alike. When I first saw you, I thought that you were Ji Wen¡¯s twin sister.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Get lost. I¡¯m an only child! Besides, Siyu is older than me by several months. How could she be my twin?¡± Chapter 143 - Spending the Money of Five Men

Fang Xiaonuan added, ¡°Of course, I know that you two are not rted by blood. That¡¯s why I never mentioned this.¡± ¡°However, if I were to announce that the two of you are a couple, wouldn¡¯t the rumors about Xiaowen dissipate? Then, I just need to resolve the rumors on myself.¡± Ji Wen said disdainfully, ¡°I don¡¯t care about these rumors at all. Hurry up and tell me what you want to do. Let me tell you, it¡¯s going to be gym ss soon. When we get to the field, hundreds of people will be pointing fingers at you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said slowly, ¡°Just let Dade to gym ss.¡± Ji Wen asked, ¡°What?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Are you crazy!¡± Neither of them knew what was going on in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s head. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s anger had red due to thements on the forum. However, after she calmed down, sheforted herself. Wasn¡¯t it just a rumor? The person who spread the rumor must have been jealous of her. Moreover, those things were too ridiculous and not true. She knew who she was. ¡°Xiaonuan, are you okay?¡± Liu Siyu looked at her worriedly. She was afraid that Fang Xiaonuan would lose her temper. Fang Xiaonuan smiled lightly. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just a small matter. Being angry all the time is not worth it.¡± ¡°How is this a small matter? Big sis, this matter has already stirred the entire school!¡± Ji Wen said excitedly. He really could not figure out what Fang Xiaonuan was thinking. She was always like this. No matter how big the issue was, she could always casually brush it off. One year, someone almost broke her wrist, but she could still endure the pain and say, ¡°It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± And sometimes, when she really encountered a small matter, she would instead make a big fuss. For example, previously, she had gotten a splinter, and because she was afraid of pain, she ran to the hospital! She was really hard to figure out! Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen and said calmly, ¡°Did this matter cause any substantial harm to you?¡± Ji Wen shook his head. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Did it make you lose money?¡± Ji Wen shook his head again. ¡°Did it threaten your personal safety?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked again. Ji Wen shook his head again. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Did it affect public order?¡± Ji Wenpromised and said, ¡°Alright, I admit that it¡¯s a small matter, alright?¡± It was indeed the case. There was no substantial damage, no loss of money, and no vition of thew. It was just a small matter! Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! So let¡¯s go to ss now!¡± Ji Wen and Liu Siyu were speechless. When the three of them stood at the door of the ssroom, everyone fell silent. Their gazes were locked onto the three of them. With more than forty pairs of eyes staring at them, the three of them walked to the back row of the ssroom and sat down. Fang Xiaonuan said enthusiastically, ¡°Don¡¯t bother with us. Just say what you said. If you don¡¯t mind, you can speak louder. We¡¯ll listen in.¡± All the students in the ss were speechless too. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words made Ji Wen and Liu Siyu speechless. They did not know what to say. ¡°Xiaonuan, what are you¡­¡± Liu Siyu asked softly. Fang Xiaonuan said to her, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. We¡¯re all ssmates. Aren¡¯t they just trying to discuss who I¡¯m dating? Let¡¯s continue the discussion!¡± After saying that, she ced her expensive bag on the table. Then, she said to the entire ss, ¡°Look, the official price of my bag is 180,000 yuan. Here¡¯s something to talk about. It¡¯s meaningless to keep trying to tarnish someone¡¯s reputation. You can discuss my 180,000 yuan bag.¡± ¡°Oh right, my bracelet is worth 30 million yuan. Maybe now you can gain a deeper understanding of who I am and why I¡¯m so rich.¡± The ssroom fell silent. Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s bag and bracelet. They would never have thought that the bag she usually brought to ss was worth 180,000 yuan, and that the bracelet she wore on her wrist every day was worth 30 million yuan. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile as she looked around. She realized that the hatred in Lin Qian¡¯s eyes was the most obvious. She smiled as she looked at Lin Qian. Lin Qian red at her fiercely and suddenly said, ¡°You¡¯re so rich. Don¡¯t tell me¡­ Are you dating a few men?¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment and mumbled softly, ¡°You¡¯re right, I really the money of several men.¡± Liu Siyu and Ji Wen were so shocked that they did not know what to do. Fang Xiaonuan counted on her fingers and said, ¡°I spent money from my grandfather, my father, my brother, and my husband.¡± Then, she turned to look at Ji Wen and added, ¡°Oh right, I also spent my nephew¡¯s money.¡± Finally, she concluded, ¡°I spent a total of five men¡¯s money!¡± Chapter 144 - Understanding

Everyone in the ssroom looked at Fang Xiaonuan in shock. She really dared to say that! Liu Siyu was the first to react, she hurriedly said loudly, ¡°Xiaonuan, if you say so, I¡¯ve spent quite a few men¡¯s money as well. My grandfather¡¯s, my father¡¯s, my brother¡¯s, and Ji Wen¡¯s. Does this mean that I¡¯m also dating four men?¡± Her words seemed to be directed at Fang Xiaonuan, but it was actually directed at everyone in the ss. There was an uproar in the ssroom. Of course, a girl would spend her father¡¯s money! Ji Wen also said, ¡°I spent my grandmother¡¯s money, my mother¡¯s money, my aunt¡¯s money, and Liu Siyu¡¯s money. Am I dating four women?¡± The ssroom instantly fell silent. Lin Qian gave the person beside her a look, and immediately, a girl stood up and pointed at Fang Xiaonuan. She said, ¡°Those aren¡¯t the ¡®sugar daddies¡¯ we¡¯re talking about. You¡¯re just deceiving Xiaowen. This rotten b*tch! Having someone like you in the capital is the greatest humiliation!¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not get angry when she heard that. Instead, she smiled and said indifferently, ¡°Continue.¡± The girl nced at Lin Qian. Why had Fang Xiaonuan not reacted? ¡°Why are you looking at Lin Qian? Did she only teach you a few lines? She should¡¯ve taught you a few more lines,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said slowly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you follow me? I¡¯ll teach you how to personally insult people. I can also teach you how to use public opinion to spread rumors about a person. Lin Qian didn¡¯t teach you any of this, did she?¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, what do you mean?¡± Lin Qian mmed the table and stood up, pointing at Fang Xiaonuan. Liu Siyu and Ji Wen immediately understood that Lin Qian was behind all of this! Liu Siyu scolded excitedly, ¡°Don¡¯t you know what she means? You¡¯ve been a mistress, a hostess, and involved in so many scandals that can¡¯t be swept under the rug anymore. So, now you want to drag Xiaonuan down with you? Isn¡¯t this exactly something you would do?¡± ¡°But why do you have to force your own experiences on Xiaonuan? Even if she¡¯s not the school belle, she still has me. When will it be your turn?¡± ¡°But you¡¯re pretty good too. I want to bow and thank you. Thanks to you, my friend, Xiaonuan, is famous outside of school.¡± ¡°Although her reputation isn¡¯t good now, when the old man in the photo personallyes to exin everything, the rumors about Xiaonuan will be destroyed.¡± ¡°However, there¡¯s one thing I have to criticize you for. Why did you have to post it in the middle of the night? You didn¡¯t even dare to use your own ount. You deliberately made a new ount to make those posts.¡± ¡°We need our sleep. When we woke up, we had tounch an investigation right away. It was really tiring!¡± Fang Xiaonuan gestured to Liu Siyu to keep quiet. She said seriously, ¡°Siyu, as ssmates, we should imagine ourselves in her shoes. Working at a nightclub is very tiring. Nighttime is the only time she¡¯s free to post. We can¡¯t me her for the inconvenience we experienced. We should understand what working the night shift is like!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words were full of sarcasm, and Lin Qian¡¯s anger immediately rose. ¡°That¡¯s right. What you said makes sense,¡± Liu Siyu agreed. She looked at Lin Qian, who was about to lose her temper, and asked considerately, ¡°Lin Qian, you really worked too hardst night. You drank, kept the guestspany, and at the same time, you had to post to entertain everyone. I shouldn¡¯t have said that to you. I apologize. I hope you can continue to work hard next time and post more explosive news. I thank you in advance on behalf of the entire school.¡± ¡°Ah! You guys are courting death!¡± Lin Qian strode forward and was about to hit Liu Siyu. Fang Xiaonuan was quick-witted. She went over and grabbed Lin Qian¡¯s arm. She raised her leg and kicked her lower abdomen. Then, she twisted her hand and pushed her against the table. Her other hand followed the momentum and hit her in the head. She moved smoothly and did not make any unnecessary movements. The students in the ssroom were shocked once again. Fang Xiaonuan actually knew how to fight! The teacher walked into the ssroom and stopped the farce. Lin Qian would never benefit from messing with Fang Xiaonuan. Liu Siyu sat on Ji Wen¡¯s left and Fang Xiaonuan sat on his right. He quickly pped for the two of them. ¡°Wow, I feel kind of useless sitting next to you two!¡± The two of them had been fighting so fiercely just now that he could not jump in to help at all. That was especially true since Fang Xiaonuan knew how to fight. He did not even need to fight and could watch from the sidelines. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan in admiration and even changed the way he addressed her. ¡°Auntie, if the teacher had note, would you have broken her arm?¡± Chapter 145 - Older Master Ji Arrived

Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s soft and cuddly appearance revealed a hint of ruthlessness. ¡°Yes!¡± Half an hourter, an old man arrived at the school field. The butler had apanied Old Master Ji to the school field. This time, he even deliberately brought along a cane for the theatrics. His legs were agile and he did not need a cane at all. However, this was very good at showing off his status, so he brought it along. The butler wore a tuxedo and walked behind Old Master Ji. ¡°It¡¯s probably because the young mistress wants to take you out to eat again, Master.¡± ¡°Haha, if that¡¯s really the case, my daughter-inw is too good!¡± Old Master Ji was extremely happy when he heard this. Actually, he did think so too. ¡°Our family is still very blessed. We thought that after letting a little girl marry into our family, we would not be able to live a peaceful life.¡± ¡°But now, ever since Xiaonuan moved in, our life has be more and morefortable.¡± Old Master Ji had long forgotten the unhappiness he felt when she first moved in. He was especially happy when he thought about how Xiaonuan had brought him to eat delicious food the past few times. He added, ¡°I didn¡¯t even try foods like ice cream and spicy snacks before. By the way, butler, have you ever eaten pop-tarts? After putting that in my mouth, the sweetness was a wonderful burst of vor. It was very interesting. I had not heard of it before.¡± ¡°I¡¯m d Xiaonuan joined our family. Otherwise, I would never have gotten to try these foods. How many delicious and interesting delicacies would I have missed?¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the shellfish by the roadside. They smelled delicious. After eating them, my mouth felt numb. They¡¯re especially delicious!¡± ¡°Xiaonuan said that next time, she¡¯ll bring me to the night market. She showed me the video of the night market. It¡¯s really lively!¡± ¡°This child is really filial. She¡¯s much more filial than my second son!¡± Old Master Ji had been praising Fang Xiaonuan all this time. Even the butler could hear the pride and satisfaction in his words. ¡°The young madam is indeed different from the daughters of ordinary families. She¡¯s always mischievous and has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She is the daughter-inw of the Ji family!¡± Old Master Ji said proudly. ¡°Since, Lingchen married Xiaonuan, this little girl not only won over Feng Qi, but she also made me rethink a lot of things. She even changed Lingchen¡¯s personality!¡± ¡°Have you seen Lingchen smile at anyone before? Look at him now. Whenever he sees Xiaonuan, he smiles so happily!¡± The more Old Master Ji spoke, the more he felt that Xiaonuan was really great. However, he suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°That¡¯s strange. What food is Xiaonuan nning to let me try today?¡± Dear readers!you are reading on our content stealing site.Please copy and search this link " /39h6j " to support us After a while, the school bell rang. ss was over. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen left the ssroom and walked to the field. ¡°Xiaonuan, Xiaowen, Old Master Ji is still waiting for you at the field. You guys go over first. I¡¯m going to change my clothes. I¡¯ll be there soon!¡± Liu Siyu said to the two of them. The two of them arrived at the field. The old man standing in the middle of the field was impossible to miss. ¡°Isn¡¯t that my grandfather?¡± Ji Wen asked, pointing to the center of the field. ¡°The butler is here too.¡± Fang Xiaonuan saw them too. She hurriedly shouted, ¡°Dad!¡± Old Master Ji heard her voice and looked over. He immediately saw his daughter-inw and that stingy grandson beside her. ¡°Xiaonuan, I¡¯m here to pick you up!¡± Old Master Ji startedining that the cane was affecting his walking speed. He immediately lifted the cane and walked quickly towards Fang Xiaonuan. In his hand, the cane was like a sword in the hands of an ancient chivalrous hero. The difference was that the chivalrous hero¡¯s sword was usually hung at his waist, while Old Master Ji was holding it. Fang Xiaonuan had made her way there, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her. She called out ¡°Dad¡± loudly, and more eyes turned to her. Old Master Ji met up with Fang Xiaonuan happily. Ji Wen saw Old Master Ji and called out softly with a smile, ¡°Grandfather.¡± ¡°Son of a b*tch!¡± Old Master Ji took the walking stick and pped Ji Wen¡¯s butt. ¡°Why are you greeting me so softly? Are you ashamed of your grandfather?¡± Ji Wen shook his head, rubbed his butt, and exined, ¡°No, Grandpa. Ugh, you should help auntie rify things first!¡± Old Master Ji asked in puzzlement, ¡°rify what?¡± Before the two of them could answer, the people on the field began to discuss enthusiastically. ¡°Quick, look! Isn¡¯t that the old man who was with Fang Xiaonuan yesterday?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s him. But she just called him dad. How could her dad be so old?¡± ¡°And why did that old man hit my Prince Charming? Isn¡¯t he Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s dad? What does it have to do with him?¡± Chapter 146 - There Are Many Types of Fathers

Chapter 146: There Are Many Types of Fathers

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°Could it be that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s father is the man in the tuxedo behind the old man? And that old man is Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s father¡¯s boss? Could it be that her father gave Fang Xiaonuan to the boss?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s very possible. When she shouted just now, both of them turned around.¡± But someone else posed another question. ¡°But that old man just now already admitted to being Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s father, and he even walked towards her.¡± ¡°What do you know? There are many types of fathers. Isn¡¯t the father of a rich man a father? Besides, maybe it¡¯s her godfather!¡± ¡°But he¡¯s already so old. Does he still have the energy?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that something they should worry about? Why are you worrying about it for her?¡± ¡­ The surrounding students had different opinions, but each of theirments ignited Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s anger. Old Master Ji also heard thements and roughly figured out what had happened. He had gone out for dinner with his daughter-inw yesterday, but someone had ndered the two of them. People thought they were having an affair! His daughter-inw must have been mistreated. He was already here at the school. Not only did these people not realize what was true, but they even distorted the truth. Sure enough, you can never convince someone who wants to nder you, because they only believed what they thought! Fang Xiaonuan immediately walked in front of the person who insulted her father-inw. Without saying anything, she raised her hand and pped him. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you a lesson today!¡± ¡°They¡¯re fighting. Fang Xiaonuan is getting anxious because someone hit the nail on the head! All we did was tell the truth. Fang Xiaonuan is indeed a b*tch. She doesn¡¯t want to hear the truth. Everyone, quickly go and help. We can¡¯t let her bully her ssmates!¡± Lin Qian took the opportunity to shout this. Meanwhile, the people who were watching themotion surrounded her. Ji Wen turned his head and red at Lin Qian, his eyes bursting with anger. ¡°F*ck you. I think you¡¯ve lived long enough!¡± He took the walking stick from his grandfather and strode forward to give Lin Qian a smack on the head. Ji Wen was really angry. He was a man after all, and his strength was much greater than a girl¡¯s. He used all his strength to hit Lin Qian. In that instant, Lin Qian¡¯s vision went ck. She felt dizzy and like she was about to faint. Ji Wen threw away his walking stick. He could not care less about his reputation and so-called pride. He knew that he was taught not to hit women. He punched Lin Qian¡¯s face again. Lin Qian fell to the ground. She said in disbelief, ¡°Ji Wen, my sister is Lin Rou! You actually dare to hit me? Aren¡¯t you afraid of your uncle¡­ Ah!¡± Before she could finish, Ji Wen stepped on her face. Ji Wen waspletely furious. He had never been this angry since he was young. The surrounding girls dared to gang up on Fang Xiaonuan because she was a girl. But no one dared to gang up on Ji Wen. Not only because he was a boy, but also because he was the campus Prince Charming! The boys did not dare to go forward. Ji Wen was too ruthless. He used almost all of his strength to step on Lin Qian¡¯s face. Her nose was probably broken, and there was blood all over her face. It was very frightening! Some of the teachers who passed by saw it and wanted to stop it, but Old Master Ji got in their way! He wanted to see that little girl with a foul mouth get beaten up by his grandson! The butler was not idle either. He went straight to the girls to protect Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Young madam, protect yourself well.¡± ¡°Butler, get out of the way. If I, Fang Xiaonuan, don¡¯t tear their filthy mouths apart today, I don¡¯t deserve my name!¡± Fang Xiaonuan pushed away the butler who was protecting her and reached out to grab the hair of a girl who was charging toward her. With her other hand, she grabbed her neck and flung her out forcefully. Among the dozen or so girls who were watching, none of them was a match for Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan was already crazy with anger. She had long lost control of her temper. When she saw their faces, all the vicious words they had just said ran through her mind. They were so unbearable, yet they had said them so easily! She was a person who bore grudges! She was gripping several locks of hair from the girl who had said the worst. She casually flung her to the ground by the hair, and her porcin doll-like face had a fierce expression on it. The surrounding girls screamed in fear, not daring to go forward. Fang Xiaonuan was too terrifying! But to Fang Xiaonuan, this was far from enough! At this moment, Liu Siyu changed into her sportswear and went to the field. From afar, she could see the chaos on the field. She immediately rushed into the crowd and ran to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s side. When she saw her hand, she said worriedly, ¡°Xiaonuan, there¡¯s blood on your hand!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my blood.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan said that, her gaze locked on the girl lying on the ground. She slowly walked toward her. Chapter 147 - Entering the Police Station

¡°Help! No!¡± The girl saw Fang Xiaonuan approaching her again and begged for mercy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I know I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have said anything, I¡­¡± However, Fang Xiaonuan did not intend to let her off just like that! The surrounding boys did not dare to stop her when they saw this. They thought to themselves, is this still that soft, cute, and petite school beauty? This was too terrifying! Themotion on the field quickly alerted the school leaders. ¡°The students are fighting in a group. There¡¯s no way to pull them apart. Call the police, quickly call the police!¡± Following that, five school leaders appeared on the field one after another, followed closely by the principal. However, when the principal saw the old man standing in the middle of the field, he did not bother to reprimand the students. He hurriedly bent down in panic and said, ¡°Good, good, Old Master Ji.¡± Old Master Ji was furious. In front of all the teachers and students on the field, he strode forward and raised his hand to give the principal a p. Everyone was stunned. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ¡°father¡± actually hit the principal in front of everyone? It was too unbelievable! ¡°Have you seen the posts about Fang Xiaonuan on your school¡¯s forum?¡± Old Master Ji asked. The principal quickly apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Old Master Ji. I didn¡¯t handle this properly. Please punish me!¡± ¡°My daughter-inw is obediently studying at school. She only took me out for a meal, and people are saying that I¡¯m her sugar daddy! Punish? Firing you would be too lenient!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s voice rang out. Everyone also caught the keywords in the old man¡¯s words. Fang Xiaonuan, daughter-inw, Old Master Ji, fire the principal. The principal repeatedly apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we¡­ We were just about to report this to CEO Ji. We didn¡¯t expect things to develop to this stage.¡± ¡°Old Master Ji, please calm down. We will definitely give young madam an exnation for this matter!¡± The surrounding school leaders also rushed over to show their concern for Fang Xiaonuan, afraid that something would happen to her. If something happened to her, their jobs would be affected. However, when they saw the person Fang Xiaonuan had beaten up, the school leaders stopped in their tracks and called out in fear, ¡°Young madam.¡± Old Master Ji also saw the blood on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hands and the scratches on her arms. He eximed, ¡°If anything happens to my daughter-inw¡­ All of you school leaders, get lost!¡± After saying that, he quickly went forward to check on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hands. ¡°So much blood. Does it hurt?¡± ¡°Dad, this is someone else¡¯s blood, not mine,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Old Master Ji was silent for a moment. Then, he said ¡°Your hands must be hurting from using so much strength then!¡± Everyone was shocked. The person who had been beat up was probably hurting even more, right? Just as Old Master Ji was about to bring his daughter-inw to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the police arrived. The person leading the police was actually Liu Siyan. ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s my brother!¡± Liu Siyu wanted to escape. If her older brother found out that she had participated in the fight, she would be finished! Liu Siyan looked at the fleeing figure. He helplessly shook his head. It would be better to wait until he got home before dealing with this little girl. ¡­ Ji Lingchen was in the middle of a meeting at the Ji Corporation¡¯s office building. Suddenly, Assistant Liu rushed into the meeting room. ¡°CEO, you need to go to the police station immediately!¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. He was very dissatisfied with Assistant Liu¡¯s actions. With a dark expression, he asked, ¡°What happened? Why are you being so rash?¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°The madam¡­¡± After Assistant Liu said these three words, Ji Lingchen immediately stood up and said, ¡°The meeting is adjourned.¡± He did not say anything else. He just hurriedly left the meeting room. The higher-ups in the meeting room stared at each other. This was the first time they had seen the CEO like this. What had happened to the legendary madam? Everyone discussed amongst themselves and asked Jiang Rui about it. Only Jiang Rui had interacted with the CEO¡¯s wife. Jiang Rui said, ¡°The CEO¡¯s wife is very young. She looks like a little girl.¡± Who would have thought that the CEO¡¯s wife, who looked like a little girl, would actually beat someone up? Several people were taken away in ambnces. Ji Wen was arrested, and so was Fang Xiaonuan. Old Master Ji was worried about the two of them, so he followed them to the police station. The person leading the team was Liu Siyan. This person was very daring. Even when he threatened him, the officer still resolutely took his daughter-inw and grandson away. Fortunately, this captain knew his grandson and daughter-inw. After arriving at the police station, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were temporarily detained. Some other students who participated in the fight were also arrested. In order to prevent the crowd from fighting again, they were separated. Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan were detained together, and the others were detained together. ¡°Why did Lin Qian look like that? Did you do it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Ji Wen said, ¡°Of course. I still have something to tell you. Lin Qian must have undergone stic surgery. Her nose is fake, and there¡¯s something under her chin.¡± Chapter 148 - Plastic Surgery

Fang Xiaonuan asked in surprise, ¡°D*mn, is that true?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. Let me tell you, I was aiming for her face earlier. That face of hers was deformed!¡± Ji Wen replied. Fang Xiaonuan gave Ji Wen a thumbs up. ¡°Xiaowen, just this once. From now on, I¡¯ll protect you at home!¡± Ji Wen smugly flipped his hair. Although Old Master Ji was not locked up, he moved a stool to the door so he could apany them. ¡°Xiaonuan, you weren¡¯t gentle at all. You¡¯re a little too hot-tempered!¡± Old Master Ji said. He was still in the mood to joke with his daughter-inw. Ji Wen pointed at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face and said aggrievedly, ¡°Grandfather, I¡¯ve already told you. Don¡¯t be fooled by her appearance. She¡¯s usually very fierce!¡± Fang Xiaonuan kicked Ji Wen¡¯s butt and then tried to salvage her image. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m usually very gentle at home. When have you ever seen me lose my temper? I¡¯m so gentle and obedient!¡± ¡°If they hadn¡¯t provoked me, I wouldn¡¯t have lost my temper. Besides, who doesn¡¯t have a temper, right?¡± As she spoke, she felt a little guilty. Old Master Ji nodded, but on second thought, he said, ¡°That¡¯s not right. No matter how angry we are, we shouldn¡¯t be so ruthless!¡± She had pulled off several locks of hair from the girl she was fighting and even rubbed her face against the ground. Fang Xiaonuan quickly pretended to be obedient and said, ¡°Ugh, Dad, tell me then. What they said was horrible. Shouldn¡¯t we beat them up?¡± When Old Master Ji thought of what those people said, he could not help but get angry. He excitedly raised his walking stick and said, ¡°We should beat them up!¡± They were locked up right next to each other. The students in the cell next door heard their conversation and were all puzzled. They had clearly seen Fang Xiaonuan call the old man ¡°Dad¡±, but why did Ji Wen call the old man ¡°Grandpa¡±? Wasn¡¯t Fang Xiaonuan Ji Wen¡¯s girlfriend? What was their rtionship? But the next man who arrived on the scene shocked everyone! Ji Lingchen had arrived. He had personallye to the police station to get his wife! Of course, he was also getting his nephew since he was here too. On the way here, he found out what had happened. ¡°CEO Ji, this is how Madam ended up at the police station.¡± Assistant Liu spent the journey exining what happened. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression remained the same. He asked, ¡°Is she injured?¡± Assistant Liu replied, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. The others are injured.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Who orchestrated all this?¡± Assistant Liu replied, ¡°Lin Qian.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°The Lin family again?¡± Then, he continued, ¡°Immediately purchase Jing University and ce it under Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s name. Announce this to the public.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen got out of the car. Assistant Liu understood what the CEO meant. He had already begun to protect his wife! Ji Lingchen arrived at the police station. ¡°Son, you¡¯re here.¡± Old Master Ji greeted his son happily. When the imprisoned students saw who had arrived, they were so shocked that their jaws hit the floor. It was Ji Lingchen, the king of the business world, and a subject of conversation during their sses. And that old man was Ji Lingchen¡¯s father! But this was not the most shocking thing! Old Master Ji pointed at Fang Xiaonuan who was locked in the cell and said, ¡°What kind of husband are you? Your wife was bullied at school. It took you long enough to get here!¡± Shocked! Everyone was shocked! Someone in the crowd suddenly whispered, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan is actually married,and her husband is¡­¡± All gazes were fixed on the king of the business world. Ji Lingchen stood in front of the cell and looked at his wife who was curled up like an injured little animal. ¡°Did you get into a fight?¡± Hearing Ji Lingchen¡¯s voice, Fang Xiaonuan instantly became upset. Her nose started burning and tears streamed down her face. She pouted and nodded. Ji Lingchen asked again, ¡°Did you win?¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt even more upset. She cried out loud, wiping her tears while nodding. It was as if she had been wronged. It was as if she was the one who had been bullied, not anyone else. Ji Wen was stunned. He had not expected Fang Xiaonuan to cry so suddenly. He quicklyforted her, ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t cry. My uncle is here, isn¡¯t he?¡± Ji Lingchen did not have any intention of coaxing her. He said, ¡°Why are you crying after winning?¡± Fang Xiaonuan cried and acted coquettishly. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll get mad at me.¡± In the end, she still caused trouble for her husband. She was afraid that he would get angry and hate her. When she thought that her hubby might hate her, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart. That¡¯s why she started crying uncontrobly.

Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart ached when he saw his wife weeping like that. He wished he could hug her andfort her. How could he be angry? He smiled and waved at his wife. ¡°Come here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shrank back and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m scared.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Xiaonuan, where did your courage go? Why are you so scared when you see Lingchen?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze locked onto the bruise on his wife¡¯s arm. His eyes darkened, and his mood instantly sank. He looked like a dangerous predator now, and his eyes were bloodthirsty. Fang Xiaonuan was very observant. She immediately noticed that her husband¡¯s expression had changed, but she thought that he was angry at her. She could not hold it in anymore and cried out loud. Ji Wen frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you crying again?¡± ¡°Hubby, I made a mistake.¡± She sobbed. Fang Xiaonuan admitted her mistake and continued crying. The police officer could not stand it anymore. He opened the cell door and let Fang Xiaonuan out. But Fang Xiaonuan did not dare toe out. She was afraid of being scolded by her husband. Ji Wen asked, ¡°Are you going out or not? If you¡¯re not going out, I¡¯m going out.¡± The police officer pushed Ji Wen back and said, ¡°You haven¡¯t been bailed out. You can¡¯te out.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. He pointed at Ji Lingchen and said, ¡°He¡¯s my biological uncle!¡± The police officer looked at Ji Lingchen and then at the documents he was holding. ¡°But CEO Ji is here to bail out his wife. He didn¡¯t bail his nephew out.¡± Ji Wen¡¯s heart broke. It broke into pieces. Lingchen¡¯s heart also hurt upon hearing his wife¡¯s painful cries. He simply walked into the prison and stood in front of his wife. He reached out to wipe the tears on his wife¡¯s face and said extremely gently, ¡°Be good. Don¡¯t cry anymore, okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and barely stopped crying. Only then did Ji Lingchen gently take her arm. He carefully looked at the wounds on it, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

She opened her arms and threw herself into her husband¡¯s arms, starting to cry again. A momentter, Feng Qi and Mayor Ji arrived. Seeing the two of them, the police officer quickly saluted and greeted them. ¡°Mayor Ji, Madam Ji, why are you here?¡± Mayor Ji pointed at Ji Wen. ¡°To bail him out.¡± Ji Wen said with a slightly aggrieved tone, ¡°Dad, Mom, you¡¯re finally here. Quickly bail me out!¡± The students next door were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. What was their rtionship? Feng Qi saw that her sister-inw was also here and that she was crying. She was so worried that she forgot about her son. She walked straight to Fang Xiaonuan and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, what happened to you? Don¡¯t scare me. Why are you crying like this? Are you hurt? Tell me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan had a childish temper. She hugged Ji Lingchen and refused to let go. Sobbing, she said, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m fine.¡± Feng Qi did not believe her. How could she be fine when she was crying like this? She asked anxiously, ¡°Tell me the truth. Don¡¯t make me worry. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ji Wen walked over and pulled his mother¡¯s arm. ¡°Mom, your son is still here. Your son, me!¡± Feng Qi did not even look at Ji Wen. She pushed him away and looked at Fang Xiaonuan worriedly. It was Ji Lingchen who exined, ¡°Sister-inw, Xiaonuan is fine. She just saw and started crying. She¡¯s acting coquettishly.¡± Feng Qi was speechless. Then, Fang Xiaonuan, who had stopped crying, nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, sister-inw, I¡¯m fine. I won a fight.¡± Mayor Ji finished the bail procedures and came out with his son. The six members of the Ji family left the police station together. The students who were still locked in the cell did not speak for a long time. Now, they understood that they had gotten it all wrong! The news that they learned today was enough to shock the entire capital! Firstly, Fang Xiaonuan did not have a sugar daddy. The old man was her father-inw! Second, the school belle was already married. Her husband was the king of the business world in Jing City, Ji Lingchen! Third, the Prince Charming was not only the son of an official, but also the heir of a rich family! Fourth, the Prince Charming and the school belle were not together every day because they were in a rtionship, but because they were family. They were aunt and nephew! After thinking through these points, everyone was dumbfounded! Everyone recalled the content that was posted on the forum. How ridiculous and absurd! Chapter 150 - Being Used

Chapter 150: Being Used

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

¡°We¡¯re being used¡­¡± someone said after thinking it through. ¡°Lin Qian had a feud with Fang Xiaonuan when she waspeting for the school belle title. At that time, she deliberately ndered Fang Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°However, her dark history was exposed and her reputation suffered.¡± ¡°And Fang Xiaonuan got rid of the rumors and became the school belle.¡± ¡°This time, she first spread rumors about the rtionship between Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen in various groups. Then she used our love for Ji Wen to attack Fang Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°Lin Qian¡¯s dark history was naturally buried, and she suddenly looked like a good person who revealed the true colors of the school belle. Now that I think about it¡­¡± ¡°Today, she was also the one who shouted those words on the field and got us riled up so we would attack Fang Xiaonuan. Fortunately, Fang Xiaonuan was skilled and we did not have the chance to attack her. Otherwise, if she really got hurt, the Ji family wouldn¡¯t let us go.¡± ¡­ The truth was, even if no one died today, Ji Lingchen would still not let the person who bullied Xiaonuan off easily. Old Master Ji was still praising Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s fighting skills, but Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart was full of pain. On the way back, he grabbed his wife¡¯s arm and examined it for a long time. When they reached home, he first brought his wife back to the bedroom, locked the door, and said, ¡°Take off your clothes.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan tugged at her own clothes, as if she was guarding against her husband. ¡°Be good, let me see if there are any other wounds on your body.¡± As Ji Lingchen spoke, he started taking off her clothes. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°You¡¯re lying, you¡¯re just trying to be a hoodlum!¡± Ji Lingchen was about to use force, but suddenly, his phone rang. He was so annoyed by his wife that he was flustered. He picked up the phone unhappily. ¡°Hello, speak!¡± Fang Xiaonuan tried to eavesdrop on the conversation. Ji Lingchen pushed her away gently and said, ¡°Be good, take off your clothes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said, ¡°No, I won¡¯t!¡± On the other end of the phone, Assistant Liu was panicking. Why did he have to take off his clothes in the middle of purchasing a school? And wasn¡¯t he good? He asked anxiously, ¡°CEO¡­ CEO Ji, do I need to take off my clothes now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not asking you to take off your clothes. Continue,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Assistant Liu heaved a sigh of relief. So, the CEO was talking to his little wife. It scared him to death! He continued, ¡°CEO Ji, the acquisition of Jing University has concluded. The culprit is currently receiving treatment at the stic surgery hospital. The two students who were injured by the madam have already left the emergency room. All the information about Madam on the forum has been deleted. Those who participated in the fight have all been arrested. The counselors are on their way to bail them out.¡± Ji Lingchen grunted and did not say anything else. Assistant Liu asked again, ¡°CEO, what instructions do you have next?¡± Ji Lingchen pushed his little wife who was approaching him and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, if you don¡¯t listen to me, I¡¯ll smack you!¡± ¡°Hmph, you won¡¯t hit me! I¡¯m your wife. You have to treat me well!¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged Ji Lingchen¡¯s waist and spoke coquettishly. Assistant Liu thought to himself, ¡®It seems like the CEO can¡¯t do anything to this little madam!¡¯ Ji Lingchen was getting anxious from his little wife¡¯s ruckus. He said, ¡°All those who participated in the fight will be expelled. Those who posted rumors will not only be expelled, but they will also be sent to the police station. Those who postedments and insulted the madam, including the ten people who liked the post, will all receive awyer¡¯s letter. Those who did not do anything will also be expelled. Pack up and scram!¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°Yes!¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the man who was standing up for her. It felt bittersweet. She confessed, ¡°Hubby, I really like you!¡± Ji Lingchen was ted by this confession. His mood instantly improved. He lowered his head to look at his cute little wife. The image of her being surrounded and bullied by a group of people shed through his mind. Today, he left the office and spent the entire afternoon at home with his wife. Fang Xiaonuan said that she would not take off her clothes no matter what. She said that her husband was trying to be a hoodlum, but she was actually worried that her husband would see the scars on her back. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re really a hoodlum today. I was just taking a shower. Why did you just rush in?¡± Fang Xiaonuan ran over to question her husband angrily. Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. ¡°If I didn¡¯t go in, would you have told me that your back was injured?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to make you worry.¡± Ji Lingchen patted the bed. ¡°Come here and lie down.¡± Fang Xiaonuan obediently walked over andy down on the bed. Ji Lingchen lifted up his wife¡¯s nightdress. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m going to put on some underwear first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, suddenly stopping him. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen your entire body. It won¡¯t take long.¡± With that, he lifted up his wife¡¯s nightdress, and pulled the quilt over to cover her butt. Chapter 151 - Fight Back!

Fang Xiaonuan suddenly recalled what had happened just now. She did not know how to hide it. It was all her husband¡¯s fault. He actually rushed into the bathroom without saying a word! At the thought of that, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s small face flushed red. Ji Lingchen was applying ointment gently on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby¡­ actually, I didn¡¯t know that my back was injured. Don¡¯t get angry, okay?¡± The more Ji Lingchen looked at the wounds, the more distressed he felt. The more distressed he felt, the angrier he got. ¡°Call me when you¡¯re in school tomorrow!¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan was confused. She turned to look at her husband and realized that his eyes were full of heartache. Ji Lingchen said again, ¡°Go to school and get back at everyone who hurt you!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said weakly, ¡°Hubby, but if that happens, I will be arrested again. I¡¯ll be brought to the police station again.¡± ¡°You have me. What are you afraid of?¡± Ji Lingchen said domineeringly. No one could bully his wife. Otherwise, as her man, he would look bad! ¡°Xiaonuan, I am your man. I was your man the second you married me. I need to protect you,¡± Ji Lingchen said seriously. Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband¡¯s serious expression and forgot to respond. She was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing his wife¡¯s tearful look, Ji Lingchen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He pinned her down and kissed her soft lips. This time, Fang Xiaonuan did not reject her husband¡¯s enthusiasm. She took the initiative to put her arms around her husband¡¯s neck. Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a series of knocks on the door. The kissing couple parted unwillingly. Fang Xiaonuan said softly, ¡°Hubby, someone¡¯s here.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the door with slight annoyance and said irritably, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Lingchen, it¡¯s sister-inw,¡± Feng Qi said. ¡°I¡¯m a little worried about Xiaonuan, so I came to see how she¡¯s doing. I can¡¯t sleep at all.¡± Fang Xiaonuan blinked and looked at her husband innocently. Her pitch-ck eyes were like ck gemstones, shining with a charming luster. ¡°Hubby, sister-inw is too worried about me¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen could only reluctantly let go of his little wife and get up to open the door. Seeing that it was Ji Lingchen who opened the door, Feng Qi repeated her worries about Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Sister-inw, pleasee in. I¡¯m fine now,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said as she tidied up her nightdress and sat up. Feng Qi entered the room and sat down by the bed. She grabbed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s arm and examined it. ¡°Are your legs hurt?¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly let her examine her legs. ¡°My legs are fine. Sister-inw, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°What about your stomach and back? Are they hurt?¡± Feng Qi asked again. Fang Xiaonuan gave Ji Lingchen a look, and Ji Lingchen immediately understood. His wife wanted him to help her hide it, so he said, ¡°Sister-inw, when Xiaonuan was showering just now, I made sure to check. She¡¯s not hurt.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. It¡¯s good that she¡¯s not hurt. But why did you get into a fight today? I don¡¯t know how to ess your school forum, so I don¡¯t know what happened.¡± Feng Qi asked again. Fang Xiaonuan held Feng Qi¡¯s hand andforted her. ¡°Sister-inw, I didn¡¯t expect so many people to gather there at once. Then, I just lost my temper and took action.¡± ¡°You¡¯re still young and impulsive. If you encounter anything that can¡¯t be solved, juste home and tell us. You¡¯re still a child, how can you solve it yourself?¡± Feng Qi said. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m already 20 years old. I¡¯m no longer a child.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°So what if you¡¯re 20 years old? In my eyes, you¡¯ve always been a child.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was so touched that she did not know what to say. She hugged Feng Qi. ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re so good to me!¡± She felt that she was very lucky to have met a sister-inw who took care of her like she was a child. Feng Qi reached out to caress Fang Xiaonuan and said gently, ¡°Silly child.¡± It was gettingte, so Feng Qi did not stay any longer. After talking for a while, she left. Ji Lingchen sat quietly beside his little wife. He looked at her still red eyes and asked, ¡°Are you touched?¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not help but nod and say, ¡°Hubby, Dad treats me very well. Sister-inw treats me well, and you treat me well. I¡­¡± As Fang Xiaonuan spoke, she felt so touched that she started crying. Chapter 152 - A Life Had Been Spared

Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re really a child. You cry so easily.¡± He reached out to wipe away his wife¡¯s tears and said, ¡°Because you¡¯re worth it, we¡¯re all willing to treat you well and dote on you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had no idea what they saw in her. She felt that she had won the lottery. In the future, when she had the chance, she would definitely go to the temple and thank the heavens for looking after her. ¡°Shall we go to sleep?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan wiped her tears away and obediently climbed into bed. Ji Lingchen followed her into bed. During the night, Fang Xiaonuan grabbed her husband¡¯s arm and used it as a pillow. Before her husband rolled over to hug her, she had already gotten into his arms. She looked up at her husband and asked, ¡°Hubby, did you get angry today?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, why do you keep asking me if I¡¯m angry?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not know how to exin it. She could only describe her true feelings. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if you get angry at me, you will stop talking to me. Then, you might not like me anymore. Then, you¡¯ll leave me. Whenever I think that you might. leave me, my heart feels like it¡¯s being crushed by a boulder. It¡¯s so ufortable. I can¡¯t do anything about it and it just makes me want to cry.¡± Ji Lingchen bent down to look at his wife and asked, ¡°If I leave you, will you be sad?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded vigorously and said aggrievedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know what I would do if you left me. Whenever I think about it, my heart aches.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, can you repeat what you just said?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with eyes full of starlight. Fang Xiaonuan repeated it again in a daze. She thought that she was just repeating what she had said. However, to her husband, she was reiterating her love for him. ¡°Xiaonuan, as long as you don¡¯t leave me, I will never leave you. If you leave me one day, I will crush your bones and scatter your ashes,¡± Ji Lingchen said. The way he expressed love was always different than how others did. Fang Xiaonuan trembled in fear at her husband¡¯s words. ¡°Hubby, what do you think is considered leaving you?¡± To be safe, she had to ask and make sure. Ji Lingchen kissed the top of her head and said softly, ¡°If I can¡¯t see you and if I can¡¯t feel your love, that¡¯s considered leaving me. These two things are essential!¡± He wanted both and he would not do without either! Fang Xiaonuan was scared to tears by her husband¡¯s words. Ji Lingchen asked curiously, ¡°Why are you crying?¡± He suddenly felt her tears soaking his shirt. He looked down and saw that his wife was crying. She sobbed. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m scared. Next time, if I go on a trip, you might kill me since you won¡¯t be able to see me,¡± Fang Xiaonuan cried. Ji Lingchen was speechless. ¡°How can I? I¡¯m not that unreasonable,¡± Ji Lingchen quicklyforted her. Fang Xiaonuan felt as if her life had been spared, but she suddenly thought of something. She cried again, ¡°But, if my heart isn¡¯t with you in the future¡­ Ah, don¡¯t spank me! Hubby, listen to my exnation!¡± Ji Lingchen ced his hand on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s butt, waiting for her exnation. If he did not like how it sounded, she would be in danger. ¡°Speak,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan exined, ¡°I mean, if my heart is with your child in the future, will you kill me?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Who is the biological mother of my child?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Me, of course!¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine too. I¡¯m looking forward to seeing the little tiger that wille from my kitten¡¯s belly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face turned red at his teasing. She said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. I¡¯m going to sleep!¡± She slept very well. Not long after, her even breathing could be heard. Shey on her side in her husband¡¯s arms. She looked even more like a small child. ¡­ Meanwhile, ever since Liu Siyu got home, she had been hiding in the bedroom. She did not dare to go out. After Liu Siyan got off work, he knocked on his sister¡¯s door and said, ¡°Hurry up! Come out and exin what happened. Otherwise, when I go in, there will be no room for discussion!¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯ve already gone to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow!¡± Liu Siyan threatened, ¡°Are you forcing me to go through the window?¡± Hearing that, Liu Siyu hurriedly jumped out of bed and locked the window. Liu Siyan knew what his sister cared about the most, so he deliberately said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know how much your two good friends suffered in prison?¡± Chapter 153 - Changing Identities

In less than ten seconds, Liu Siyu opened her bedroom door. Liu Siyu stood barefooted at the door and asked, ¡°Brother, how are they?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you went to bed? You even learned to lock the door.¡± Liu Siyan swaggered into his sister¡¯s room. Liu Siyu lowered her head guiltily. Seeing her brother¡¯s unfriendly expression, she lowered her head and tried her best to think of a way to handle him. Then, she pounced on her big brother and hugged him. She said coquettishly, ¡°My wonderful big brother, I like you the most. Don¡¯t be angry with me, okay? I know what I did wrong!¡± She was only wearing a nightgown and her entire body was glued to her brother. Liu Siyan said, ¡°Let go.¡± Liu Siyan shook her head and said, ¡°I won¡¯t. I like you too much. I was wrong. I really was wrong. Please don¡¯t punish me, okay?¡± Liu Siyan said helplessly, ¡°Liu Siyu, you¡¯re already 20 years old. You¡¯re not a child anymore. I¡¯m a man. You must learn to keep your distance from me, okay?¡± Liu Siyu still shook her head and pressed her face into her brother¡¯s chest. ¡°No! Even if I¡¯m 200 years old, I¡¯m still your little sister. I want to hug you!¡± Every time Liu Siyu acted coquettishly, Liu Siyan would be powerless. When she was young, he once caught her stealing candy, and she would hug him like this. When she was older and wanted to y with theputer, she would hug his waist like this. He could only indulge her. Now, his sister was already an adult, but she was still acting coquettishly. What else could he do? He could only indulge her! ¡°Alright, stand up. Let me see if you¡¯re injured,¡± Liu Siyan said. Liu Siyu did not let go. Instead, she asked, ¡°Brother, tell me first. How are Xiaonuan and Xiaowen?¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Their families brought them home at noon. Nothing happened. They did not suffer.¡± Hearing that, Liu Siyu finally let go of her brother¡¯s waist. Smiling, she gestured to her brother and said, ¡°I love you, big brother.¡± Liu Siyan scratched his sister¡¯s nose and said seriously, ¡°If I find out that you got yourself involved in another fight, I will lock you up for a month no matter how clingy you get!¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I understand,¡± Liu Siyu said. Liu Siyan said, ¡°Go to sleep. Don¡¯t y with your phone!¡± ¡°I understand. Bye, big brother. I love you!¡± Liu Siyu said mischievously. After sending Liu Siyan away, she let out a long sigh of relief. She muttered to herself, ¡°That scared me to death. I thought that this old trick wouldn¡¯t work. Luckily, it still works!¡± Xiaonuan and Xiaowen were fine. She could finally be at peace. She quickly climbed into bed, crawled under the nket, and went to sleep peacefully. After she fell asleep, someone sneaked into her bedroom. Liu Siyan sneaked into her room. He then turned on the small wallmp at the bedside, lifted the nket, and carefully checked his sister¡¯s body for wounds. He even brushed his sister¡¯s hair and checked her scalp. He was afraid that she would hide her injuries from him. Fortunately, she was fine. ¡­ The next day, the three of them reunited again. The situation at school waspletely different from the day before. The whole school knew that Fang Xiaonuan was married now. Therefore, she was immediately removed from the school belle rankings. However, no one had expected that Liu Siyu would rece her, and be the new school belle. Liu Siyu said, ¡°What? I¡¯ve be the school belle?¡± Ji Wen was the son of an official. After everyone found out that he was rich as well, he became even more popr. The number of girls he ¡°met¡± by chance increased as he walked around the campus. He was so angry that he said frustratedly, ¡°My uncle is rich. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m rich. If you want to find a rich person, go seduce my uncle. Don¡¯t bother me!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiaonuan punched him hard and said, ¡°You want people to seduce your uncle?¡± Ji Wen was speechless. However, although Fang Xiaonuan was no longer the school belle of Jing University, she had assumed a new identity. She was now the principal of Jing University. She only found out about this when she was congratted. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°What did you say? I¡¯m the principal?¡± She did not understand how she became the principal after the fight. She quickly called her husband and told him what had happened. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I arranged for this. From now on, the school will be under your control. You can do what you want. If anyone dares to bully you or spread rumors about you again, you can decide how to handle it!¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan froze and said weakly, ¡°But hubby, I don¡¯t want to run the school.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You just have to be happy. Your husband will take care of everything else that has to do with the school!¡± Chapter 154 - Romantic Date

Chapter 154: Romantic Date

As Fang Xiaonuan listened to her husband, she felt that she must have been a good person in her previous life. She was so lucky to marry such a good husband in this life. ¡°Hubby, I love you so much,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said suddenly. The person on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan waited for a long time but did not hear her husband¡¯s response. She asked, ¡°Hubby, are you there?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ji Lingchen replied in a low and hoarse voice. Then, he continued to ask, ¡°Since you said you love me, when are you going to give birth to a baby tiger for me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan heard her husband¡¯s words and quickly replied, ¡°Hmph! Then I don¡¯t love you anymore.¡± She was a kitten, and there was no room for a baby tiger in her belly. The man chuckled and said, ¡°What? You don¡¯t want to give birth?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s little face turned red. ¡°You¡¯re impossible! One moment you say I¡¯m a child, and the next moment you¡¯re urging me to have a child. Hmph!¡± Ji Wen and Liu Siyu were eavesdropping and they were shocked to hear this. What? Fang Xiaonuan was going to have a child? Hearing his wife¡¯sints, Ji Lingchen was even happier. He asked, ¡°What time does school end today? Now I can openly pick you up as your husband, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes, and an evil idea formed in her mind. ¡°No, I have a romantic date today.¡± After saying this, she hung up the phone. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu looked at her with puzzled faces. They asked in unison, ¡°Who are you dating?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s a secret!¡± She deliberately kept him in suspense. After school in the afternoon, Fang Xiaonuan said goodbye to her good friends and quickly left the campus. She hailed a taxi and headed straight for the flower shop. Pushing open the door of the flower shop, Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Please give me 12 red roses.¡± The owner of the flower shop was a gentledy. She saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s student attire and asked, ¡°Miss, who are these flowers for?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My husband.¡± ¡°Huh? You¡¯re married?¡± the shop owner asked in surprise. Fang Xiaonuan stretched out her hand to show off her ring. With a blissful look on her face, she said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m married.¡± The shop owner chuckled as she helped Fang Xiaonuan carefully wrap the roses. Twenty minutester, Fang Xiaonuan happily took the roses and got into a taxi. ¡°Mister, let¡¯s go to Ji Corporation.¡± The taxi driver sensed something festive on the horizon as he saw her with the bouquet of roses. He asked, ¡°Little girl, are those roses for your boyfriend?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Nope, not for a boyfriend. They¡¯re for my husband.¡± After speaking, she buried her face in the roses, sniffing the rosy fragrance. She unconsciously nodded, as though she was very satisfied with the scent. Then she said to herself, ¡°Lingchen, ah, Lingchen, prepare to ept your wife¡¯s deep love!¡± In the afternoon, the Ji Corporation¡¯s employees were very happy as they were looking forward to their days off. They were about to leave work, and tomorrow was the start of the weekend. Everyone was smiling as if they were already on holiday. The employees walked in groups in the hall. Then, they noticed a girl carrying roses walking across the first floor. ¡°Quick, look, whose girlfriend is that? She came with roses. How romantic!¡± Fang Xiaonuan paid no mind to the eyes on her. She anxiously waited for her husband to appear, waiting for his reaction upon seeing her. Fang Xiaonuan stepped into the CEO¡¯s private elevator and went directly to the CEO¡¯s office. In the office, Ji Lingchen was on the phone with Ji Wen. He was about to ask for information. ¡°Who did Xiaonuan leave with today?¡± Ji Wen replied, ¡°She left the school alone.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Then who is she going on a date with today?¡± Actually, this was the question he cared about the most. This had been bothering him for the entire afternoon. He wanted to know who this person was, and why he was so important that his wife had ditched him to go on a date with him. Ji Wen replied honestly, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but she was very happy when she left.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression soured, and his mood became even worse! ¡°Who exactly is she going on a date with? She was so happy? Who is her date?¡± Ji Lingchen said unhappily. Once he found out who it was, he would tear that man into pieces! ¡°Of course, it¡¯s you, stupid husband!¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly pushed the door open and entered, smiling at the jealous man. Her hands were behind her back. The secretaries of the CEO¡¯s office could see the hidden roses and felt happy for their boss. ¡°Xiaonuan?¡± Ji Lingchen could not believe that his little wife was here right now. Fang Xiaonuan walked into his office with a smile in her eyes and said, ¡°Hubby, close your eyes.¡± Chapter 155 - Wedding Ring

Ji Lingchen was in a daze when he saw his little wife walk into the office. ¡°Xiaonuan, are you going on a date with me today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly, ¡°Ugh, hubby, close your eyes first!¡± Ji Lingchen hung up the phone. The expression on his face immediately changed to one of indulgence. Then, he obediently closed his eyes. Fang Xiaonuan carefully brought the bouquet of roses in front of her. Then, she took a step forward, stood on her tiptoes, and gently kissed Ji Lingchen on the cheek. This kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the water. It was light and quick, however, it still stirred countless ripples in the water. Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart was beating rapidly. He slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a bouquet of fresh roses. Hidden behind the roses was his precious little wife. And his wife¡¯s smile was even more beautiful than the roses. He was stunned. He had experienced too many struggles, so he was very good in a crisis. However, after getting married, he realized that there were always things that were out of his control. Something like this was no exception. All this was because of his kitten. She had given him his first bouquet of roses. ¡°Hubby, I guess you¡¯ve never received flowers before. Here, this is from your wife!¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled as she handed the flowers to the man. When Ji Lingchen received the roses, he felt warmth bubble up within him. After so long, he had be a man who could receive roses from his wife. These flowers symbolized her love. He held the flowers in one hand and wrapped his other hand around his wife¡¯s slender waist. Then, he leaned in close and asked, ¡°So, you told me that you had a romantic date this afternoon, but you were nning on going out with me?¡± ¡°Hehe, yes. Hubby, are you surprised?¡± Fang Xiaonuan wrapped her arms around her husband¡¯s neck, her eyes shining like jewels as she spoke. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Close your eyes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan obediently closed her eyes, and then she felt a warm sensation on her lips. Assistant Liu had initially wanted to deliver a report to the CEO, but fortunately, Secretary Song reminded him and saved his life. Secretary Song said, ¡°The Madam has brought roses to the CEO. If you don¡¯t value your life, go in and disturb them.¡± The employees of the CEO¡¯s office were distracted by that bouquet of beautiful roses. Assistant Liu joined in on the gossip. ¡°Quickly tell me, what happened! I actually missed such an exciting event! This must be the first time the CEO has received flowers!¡± Assistant Liu said curiously. ¡°Right. Ever since I joined the Ji Corporation, the CEO¡¯s office has never seen red, let alone red roses!¡± ¡°The Madam is so romantic. How did shee up with this idea?¡± Logically speaking, it was always the men who gave the women flowers. This seemed to have be an established rule. When Fang Xiaonuan suddenly broke the rules, it became a subject of intrigue. Secretary Song said, ¡°If the CEO likes her, it must be because she isn¡¯t like other women.¡± ¡°Head secretary, I think that even if she is different from the others, it¡¯s still not enough. They still need to have a spark. Previously, didn¡¯t Miss Lin have feelings for our CEO? But every time she came to thepany, the CEO wouldn¡¯t see her unless she was here for something important.¡± ¡°Madam is different. After she was stopped the first time she came to thepany, no one dared to stop her again. She entered and left thepany freely, and even took the CEO¡¯s private elevator.¡± Secretary Song sighed. ¡°So, it still depends on fate.¡± The CEO doted on his wife, and due to that fate, no one could stop her. In the CEO¡¯s office, after the passionate kiss, Fang Xiaonuan held her husband¡¯s hand and turned around to ask, ¡°Hubby, do you notice something different about me today?¡± ¡°You¡¯re wearing a wedding ring,¡± Ji Lingchen said with a chuckle. ¡°Is it that conspicuous? Hubby, how did you find out so quickly?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked in surprise as she threw herself into her husband¡¯s arms. Aside from the day of the wedding, she had not worn her wedding ring out. It had been sitting in the box ever since the wedding. When she was putting on makeup this morning, she immediately saw the ring box. She opened it and stared at the glistening ring for a while before finally putting it on her ring finger. When she went to school today, she saw the glistening ring on her finger every time she wrote something. She asked her two good friends, ¡°Do you guys notice something different about me today?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s your status, right, Principal Fang?¡± This was what Ji Wen and Liu Siyu had agreed on. Fang Xiaonuan stretched out her fingers and showed off her wedding ring. ¡°Look! This is what¡¯s different about me today!¡± Chapter 156 - Language of Flowers

¡°Ring?¡± Liu Siyu asked, confused. ¡°Xiaonuan, have you never worn a ring before?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She had been a little excited just now, but seeing that her two good friends had not reacted, she calmed down. She was no longer as excited. She said to Ji Wen, ¡°Xiaowen, have you ever seen me wear a ring at home?¡± Ji Wen pursed his lips. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to notice if you wear a ring at home!¡± Indeed, he had never paid attention to that. Fang Xiaonuan let out an ¡°Oh¡± in disappointment and did not say anything else. The reason why she was wearing a wedding ring now was that she was already very certain that she wanted to live a good life with Ji Lingchen. To her, a wedding ring was very sacred. Wearing a wedding ring also proved that she had developed true feelings for Ji Lingchen. However, her two best friends did not notice this change. Perhaps it was because they were both single and could not understand the importance of a wedding ring. Fang Xiaonuanforted herself. After that, she did not continue to show off the wedding ring. However, Ji Lingchen very quickly spotted the wedding ring on her finger. This made her feel emotional again. ¡°Hubby, hubby, no one noticed that I was wearing the wedding ring today. Why did you notice it so quickly?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked excitedly. Ji Lingchen did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, ¡°This wedding ring¡­ Do you n to wear it for a day, from now on?¡± Fang Xiaonuan tightly hugged her husband¡¯s arm. Shaking her head, she looked at her husband and said, ¡°From now on.¡± The corners of Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up, and he pulled his wife into his arms. ¡­ At six o¡¯clock, work at Ji Corporation ended. Ji Lingchen held the vivid rose bouquet in one hand, and his wife¡¯s hand in the other as they walked out of the office. Secretary Song smiled and congratted them. ¡°Congrattions, CEO, on receiving those roses.¡± Fang Xiaonuan hopped around and said, ¡°You have to thank me. If it weren¡¯t for me, your CEO wouldn¡¯t have received a bouquet of roses.¡± ¡°Madam, when are you going to send us a bouquet of roses? We all like the bouquet the CEO is holding!¡± Assistant Liu teased. Coveting his roses? Ji Lingchen red at him. Assistant Liu felt a chill run down his spine. Looking at the CEO¡¯s expression, he retracted his words. ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t like it anymore.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not realize that her husband was jealous at all. She smiled and said, ¡°Sending flowers to you is fine, but if I were to send them to you, I wouldn¡¯t be able to send roses. I can only send other flowers. Red roses are exclusively for my husband.¡± Fang Xiaonuan saying ¡®exclusively for my husband¡¯ instantly made Ji Lingchen¡¯s mood brighten. One of the secretaries asked curiously, ¡°Madam, how many roses did you give the CEO?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°12.¡± ¡°Wow, 12 roses!¡± The secretaries of the CEO¡¯s office eximed in unison. Then, with a smirk, they said, ¡°What do 12 roses represent? Quick, check it out and tell everyone!¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan immediately blushed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t check it out now. Wait until we leave before you search it up. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be so embarrassing for me!¡± The people put down their phones obediently and stopped teasing them. They watched the two leave. Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife who was jumping around beside him. He felt a sense of happiness that he had never felt before. After the two entered the elevator, the secretaries of the CEO¡¯s office quickly searched it up. Then, they read out the phrase associated with a 12-rose bouquet. In the elevator, the blush on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s cheeks had not faded yet, but Ji Lingchen insisted on asking at this time, ¡°What do 12 roses mean?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and said shyly, ¡°Don¡¯t you have your phone? Don¡¯t ask me. Look it up yourself.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°But I want to hear you say it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan covered her face. When she thought of the phrase, she was so embarrassed that she did not want to look anyone in the eye. The man was still waiting for her answer. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s expression was conflicted. Her hands moved helplessly as she said, ¡°Hubby, if you know how I feel, that¡¯s good enough!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I don¡¯t know how you feel.¡± The man wanted to hear his little wife say those words personally, so he guided her, saying, ¡°Xiaonuan, say it. What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about? It¡¯s just me.¡± Then, he deliberately emphasized, ¡°We¡¯re a married couple.¡± Fang Xiaonuan also felt that she was disappointing him. She had already given him the flowers, so why was she too shy to say it? After giving herself an internal pep talk, she said, ¡°The phrase associated with 12 roses is, ¡®My love for you grows day by day.¡¯¡± Hearing this, the corners of Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up. If they had not been in public, he would have immediately embraced his wife and expressed his affection. Chapter 157 - Hacked Account?

Ji Lingchen suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, then said calmly, ¡°Remember what you said. Your love for me must grow with each passing day.¡± ¡°Ah, hubby, this is just thenguage of flowers.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You were the one who gave me the 12 red roses. Thenguage of flowers represents what you mean to say.¡± At this moment, the elevator doors opened. At Ji Corporation¡¯s first floor, there was a rare sight. The usually godlike CEO was currently holding a red rose bouquet in his hand and holding a girl¡¯s hand in the other. The girl¡¯s small face was puffed up, as though she was angry for some reason. However, the CEO had a smile on his face. Everyone there remembered that she was the girl who had just brought the bouquet into the building. Only, no one had imagined that the girl¡¯s bouquet was actually for the CEO! Even more so, no one had expected that this girl was the CEO¡¯s legendary wife. Discussions broke out, filled with blessings. Somehow, the news of Ji Lingchen receiving roses reached his good friends. The small group chat consisting of the five of them immediately exploded. Ye Mubai said, ¡°The major news in the capital centers around our famous CEO Ji. Which one should we check out first?¡± Murong said, ¡°All of them. Tell us one by one.¡± Ye Mubai said, ¡°In order to vent his anger, CEO Ji acquired Jing University and gave it to his wife.¡± Murong said nothing. Wang Yubo was also speechless. Yao Qian, who was the only one who was calmer among them, asked, ¡°Is that from a reliable source?¡± They all felt that Ji Lingchen was not someone who would be so impulsive. The acquisition was such a big deal, so he definitely would not act on impulse. He must have made a lot of money. However, it was one thing to acquire apany, but to acquire a university, not only would there not be any profit, but he would also have to put in a lot of effort. The almighty Ji Lingchen, king of the business world, would not be so impulsive. Therefore, the credibility of this piece of news was questionable. However, when Ye Mubai sent the screenshot of Jing University¡¯s official website to the group chat, Murong spat out a mouthful of water on his phone. ¡°F*ck!¡± Wang Yubo quietly disappeared for two minutes. When he returned, he had confirmed the authenticity of the screenshot. ¡°There¡¯s no doubt about it. The educational administration system has already announced it.¡± Yao Qian was speechless too. ¡°That¡¯s not the main point. I¡¯ll show you something good. I¡¯ll just send the picture!¡± Ye Mubai sent a picture depicting Ji Lingchen in a suit. He was carrying a bouquet of flowers and holding Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand. Yao Qian said, ¡°Lingchen has learned how to send flowers? That doesn¡¯t seem like him. Highly unlikely!¡± Wang Yubo also joined the discussion. ¡°It can¡¯t be someone else who sent him flowers, right? Look at that cold face of his. Who would dare to send him flowers?¡± Ye Mubai said, ¡°You¡¯ve all gotten it wrong. Whether it¡¯s a gift or not, he¡¯s holding roses. Don¡¯t you think that¡¯s incredible?¡± Murong¡¯s focus was always different from others. He zoomed in on the picture, then, he said, ¡°Is the person beside him his wife or a lover? I think he¡¯s holding her hand really tightly, as if he¡¯s afraid of losing her.¡± He had actually met Fang Xiaonuan before, but they had met only briefly. A lot of time had passed since then, and he could not quite remember what she looked like. Wang Yubo asked again, ¡°Mubai, this can¡¯t be a picture you photoshopped right? Judging by Lingchen¡¯s temper, why would he spend money on roses and show off his wife at thepany?¡± The person who had been silent for a while spoke up again. ¡°I didn¡¯t send this out. I received it.¡± Yao Qian, who had always been calm, was riled up too. ¡°F*ck! Someone hacked your ount, right? It wasn¡¯t me.¡± Murong asked suspiciously, ¡°You received it? Are you sure?¡± Wang Yubo asked directly, ¡°Did you hire a little girl to give it to you for free?¡± Yi Luoxi Restaurant. Ji Lingchen brought his wife to their table. They did not go home. Instead, they came to the most upscale Western restaurant in the capital, intending to have a candlelit dinner. He did not usually like to eat steak, but in order to keep up with the atmosphere of a romantic date, he brought his wife here. The messages in the group chat did not stop, and his phone vibrated non-stop. Ji Lingchen took a look and realized that they were discussing him. Today, he was in a good mood, so he said something in the group chat and answered everyone¡¯s questions. He did not expect that his reply would actually cause such a big reaction from them. He looked at his little wife opposite him, then looked at the bouquet of bright red roses in his hand. He reached out to pick up the roses and ced them in his wife¡¯s arms. Fang Xiaonuan was confused. ¡°Hubby, what¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t want them anymore?¡± How could Ji Lingchen not want them? He just wanted to show off the roses and his wife, so he replied, ¡°Hold them, I¡¯ll take a picture of you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and asked, ¡°Who are you sending it to?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yao Qian, Wang Yubo, Ye Mubai, and Murong.¡± Chapter 158 - Ignorant

Fang Xiaonuan had heard of these people. They were her husband¡¯s good friends. She had even met them once before. ¡°Hubby, wait a moment.¡± Fang Xiaonuan ced the flowers on the table and stood up to ask the attendant beside her, ¡°May I know where the washroom is?¡± The attendant hurriedly led Fang Xiaonuan to the washroom. Fang Xiaonuan turned around and said to her husband, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ll be right back. Wait for me.¡± After saying that, she went to the washroom. She nned to touch up her makeup. This was the first picture of her that her husband would send to his friend group. She had to ensure that she looked her best. It was best to let her husband¡¯s friends think that Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife was really beautiful. That would make her husband look good as well. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan returned to the dining table. She had already touched up her makeup. She looked even more exquisite and lovely now, especially her small mouth. Her initially pink and tender lips now looked even more plump and bright. ¡°Did you put oil on your mouth?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, puzzled. Fang Xiaonuan pped her husband¡¯s shoulder and pouted. ¡°I applied lip ze.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. Lip ze.¡± Ji Lingchen seemed to understand, but he was still puzzled. Wasn¡¯t lip ze just lip oil? For the first time, Fang Xiaonuan felt that there was a generational gap between her and her husband. She said helplessly, ¡°Hubby, lip ze is simr to lipstick, not lip oil.¡± She did not expect that her husband, who had absolute authority in the business world of Jing City, would not know what lip ze was. He did not even know what lip gloss was. He was really ignorant! Ji Lingchen really did not know anything about women¡¯s cosmetics. He had never paid attention to these things. ¡°Is your makeup done?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Seeing how her appearance had changed, he understood where she went just now. Although he was not familiar with these things, he was not blind. He could see that his wife had tidied up her hair and put on eyeliner. The color of her lips had also changed. Fang Xiaonuan sat beside him and asked, ¡°Hubby, how do I look now?¡± Ji Lingchen was not used to praising people. Usually, his greatest recognition to his subordinates was ¡°Not bad.¡±. However, this did not sound good enough to Fang Xiaonuan. She said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t look good? Then I¡¯ll go and change it.¡± ¡°No need. I think it looks very good.¡± Ji Lingchen quickly grabbed his wife¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I was wrong just now. It¡¯s really beautiful. If you change it again, the roses won¡¯t be able to match up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the roses on the table andughed out loud. ¡°Hubby, I suddenly feel that older husbands praise their wives much more than younger ones!¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. It was another day of being ridiculed by his wife for being older. Fang Xiaonuan sat down opposite her husband. She picked up the roses again and posed. She smiled and asked her husband to take a photo. For most men, taking a decent picture was good enough. No one would expect a picture taken from a good angle. Some men could not even take a clear picture. When Ji Lingchen sent the photo to the group, Ye Mubai asked, ¡°May I ask, CEO Ji, who is the person in the photo? It looks like a ghost.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s Xiaonuan. She¡¯s holding the bouquet of roses she gave me.¡± Murong said, ¡°CEO Ji, buy a new phone. The quality is too scary. If you don¡¯t have money, I can sponsor you.¡± The other two also agreed with Ye Mubai and Murong. For girls, the requirements of photo-taking were very strict. Moreover, after the photo was taken, the girl would have to go through a series of operations such as beautification and retouching before she could send it out. Fang Xiaonuan was no exception. Seeing that her husband had already taken the photo, she hurriedly asked, ¡°Hubby, give me your phone. I¡¯ll add a filter before you send it out.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ve already sent it out. It looks pretty good.¡± ¡°Really? Quickly show it to me,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said impatiently. Ji Lingchen handed the phone over. Fang Xiaonuan excitedly swiped at the screen of the phone. She could only vaguely see a blurry picture, so she asked, ¡°Hubby, where¡¯s my photo?¡± Ji Lingchen replied said, ¡°The one you swiped away just now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan found the picture that was super blurry and asked, ¡°Are you talking about this one?¡± Ji Lingchen nodded calmly. ¡°This one? It looks good?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. She could not even tell that the person in the picture was her. How could he say that it looked good when it was so blurry? Ji Lingchen coughed a few times, feeling awkward. ¡°Ahem, I think it looks good.¡± Ji Lingchen was a genius in the business world, the king of the business world. However, his photography skills were not even as good as that of a toddler. ¡°CEO Ji, Mrs. Ji, do the two of you want to take a picture together as a memento?¡± the attendant at the side asked.

Fang Xiaonuan looked at the attendant beside her and asked, ¡°Do you take good pictures? If you take a picture and I¡¯m a ghost again, I¡¯ll be eating for free today!¡± The attendant replied, ¡°Not really, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll make you look like a ghost. As for a free meal, if that¡¯s what you want, you can have it, Mrs. Ji.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband, who was still calm, and angrily handed her phone to the attendant. ¡°Just take a good picture of me. It doesn¡¯t matter what my husband looks like. You can make him look distorted in the picture.¡± Ji Lingchen could hear the anger in his wife¡¯s words. The attendant was clever. From their previous interactions, he could confirm that CEO Ji doted on this young madam very much. Thus, he said, ¡°CEO Ji, pleasee and sit behind Mrs. Ji.¡± Ji Lingchen stood up and walked over to sit behind his wife. He reached out and took his wife in his arms. She was pouting. The bouquet of red roses was in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s arms. During the photo-taking, Fang Xiaonuan temporarily let go of her anger. She leaned against her husband and smiled. She even held her husband¡¯s hand. They were both wearing wedding rings. After taking some photos, he returned the phone to Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°Mrs. Ji, please take a look.¡± Fang Xiaonuan flipped through the photos carefully. Every photo was taken well. She nodded in satisfaction and then handed the phone to her husband. ¡°Here, choose another one and send it to the group.¡± Ji Lingchen took the phone and, under the supervision of his wife, chose a photo and sent it back to the group. Murong replied immediately, ¡°Wow, you changed your phone so quickly. As expected, CEO Ji. You got married so quickly and changed your phone so quickly.¡± Yao Qian said, ¡°Get to the point. This is a group photo. We¡¯ve known each other for twenty years. Has anyone ever taken a photo with Lingchen?¡± Ye Mubai said, ¡°This time, I can finally see Lingchen¡¯s wife¡¯s face clearly. She¡¯s pretty good-looking. CEO Ji, this May-December romance thing is working out great for you!¡± They had already ordered. While waiting for the dishes, Fang Xiaonuan was bored. She moved the chair to her husband¡¯s side and read the messages in their group chat. ¡°Hahaha! Hubby, this Ye Mubai is so interesting. I like him,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen quickly turned to look at his wife and said, ¡°When he was eighteen, he wet the bed. Do you still like him?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. She immediately shook her head. Ji Lingchen turned back with relief and continued to read the messages in the group chat. As he read, he suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯ll bring you to the inds when I have time. Murong has several inds. I¡¯ll bring you to meet them this year.¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Are you going to introduce me to your friends?¡± Ji Lingchen reached out to caress his wife¡¯s hair and said, ¡°I should have introduced you to them a long time ago.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled and said, ¡°Then after we meet, I¡¯ll have to ask them for some money. I¡¯ll ask them for all the money they owe us!¡± Ji Lingchen said dotingly, ¡°Okay, Murong is in charge. He has a lot of money. You can ask him for more.¡± After a while, the steak and foie gras that Fang Xiaonuan ordered were served. She took a few pictures with her phone. It wasmon practice now to take pictures before eating. ¡°Honey, don¡¯t eat yet. I haven¡¯t taken enough pictures yet!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen quickly put down his knife and fork and waited for his wife to finish taking pictures. After the pictures were taken, the two officially started eating. ¡°Do you want some red wine?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. From what he knew, red wine wouldplement the steak. Plus, it would match the roses. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ve never drunk wine before. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll get drunk. Besides, you can¡¯t drink. I don¡¯t know how to drive yet.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you how to drive this weekend. After you learn how to drive, go pick out a car. That way, you can drive yourself to school in the future.¡± Fang Xiaonuan remembered a driving lesson in which her father had been so angry that he shouted at her. Even her mother did not dare to sit in the car while she drove. She said guiltily, ¡°Hubby, I might be a little slow in learning how to drive. Maybe you shouldn¡¯t teach me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my wife. If I don¡¯t teach you, who will?¡± Ji Lingchen said as he ced the cut steak on his wife¡¯s te. ¡°Eat this. I cut it for you.¡± The two ate and chatted. Soon, they were done eating. It was already dark outside the window. The sound of cellos could be heard in the restaurant. Fang Xiaonuan rested her chin on her hand and looked out of the window in a daze. Ji Lingchen held his wife¡¯s hand and they left the western restaurant. The roses were in his other hand. ¡°Eating western food is making me depressed. The sound of cellos is like a luby. Listening to it makes me sleepy. Husband, you should take me to Shuxiang Garden for dinner in the future. I still like the atmosphere there,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen nodded in agreement.

When the two of them returned home, the red rose bouquet in Ji Lingchen¡¯s hand caught Old Master Ji¡¯s interest. Old Master Ji said, ¡°Ah, not bad. Ji Lingchen is considerate enough to buy roses for Xiaonuan. That¡¯s unexpected.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That¡¯s not true, Dad. I¡¯m the one who gave him these flowers.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Old Master Ji looked at Ji Lingchen in surprise and said, ¡°You actually asked your wife to buy roses for you? Don¡¯t you feel embarrassed? You even have the cheek to carry them around. Hurry up and go out and buy a bunch of roses for Xiaonuan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan held her husband¡¯s arm with one hand and took off her shoes with the other. ¡°Ah, Dad, a bouquet of roses is only 400 yuan. My husband took me out to a western restaurant for dinner. Even 4000 Yuan wasn¡¯t enough to cover the bill. In the end, I still took advantage of him.¡± Ji Wen suddenly interrupted, ¡°So you¡¯re saying that the romantic date you went on today was with my uncle?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes, I deliberately didn¡¯t tell you. Otherwise, my husband would have called you and casually threatened you, and you would have exposed all of my ns.¡± Ji Lingchen had not said a word since he entered the living room. Fang Xiaonuan had been the one talking the entire time. Old Master Ji still felt that his son was doing something wrong. How could he let a girl send him flowers? Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°In a marriage, there are two people. Women need romance, flowers, and small gifts. However, men also need them. Nowadays, they all advocate equality between men and women. If only men give flowers, how can it be called equality? My husband has given me a lot of love, so I¡¯ll give him a little surprise every now and then!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words sessfully convinced everyone present. They all felt that her view of marriage was very pleasant. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, felt that he had married a precious wife. He pulled his wife, who was talking, into his arms and asked, ¡°Who taught you all this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said proudly, ¡°No one taught me. I figured it out myself. Aren¡¯t I nice?¡± Hearing that, Feng Qi began to recall what she had done for her husband in all these years. She muttered, ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever given your brother roses.¡± On the other hand, Mayor Ji, who was usually quiet, would buy his wife small gifts and flowers every Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day. Feng Qi looked at her husband beside her and could not help but feel a little guilty. Tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing that his wife was not in a good mood, Mayor Ji quickly went over to hug his wife and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want flowers. Every day when Ie home and see the two of you happy, I already feel the greatest happiness.¡± Fang Xiaonuan realized that her words had affected her sister-inw. She quickly pointed at thezy Ji Wen on the sofa and said, ¡°Sister-inw, although you did not send flowers to Big Brother, didn¡¯t you send him a most precious gift?¡± Mayor Ji and Feng Qi¡¯s gazes fell on their son who was sitting on the sofa. Him? Ji Wen also looked at his parents and then at Fang Xiaonuan, inexplicably feeling a little guilty. Fang Xiaonuan said firmly, ¡°Sister-inw, he was born after ten months of hard work. Isn¡¯t he the most precious gift? If I had a baby in my belly, I wouldn¡¯t have spent 400 yuan to buy flowers.¡± ¡°Then when are you going to give birth to the most precious gift?¡± Ji Wen asked. Ji Lingchen also looked at his little wife curiously, looking forward to her answer. Ji Wen said again, ¡°If you want to give birth, then give birth quickly. Otherwise, when I get married and the child is born before you, the seniority will be messed up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said shamelessly, ¡°I want to give birth after you. When that timees, your son will call my son little uncle.¡± Old Master Ji also joined in the conversation and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, since you¡¯re still young, you should have a baby earlier. If you¡¯re afraid that you¡¯ll miss school, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯m still in good health, so I can take care of the baby for you at home.¡± Feng Qi also chimed in, ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re still a child. After you have a baby, you can be friends with the child. How great would that be?¡± Mayor Ji said, ¡°Yes, you can have the baby now. Your sister-inw is free, so she can take care of the baby for you. If you wait until you graduate and work, you won¡¯t be as free. You won¡¯t even be able to rest properly when you¡¯re pregnant. Besides, if Ji Wen gets married and has children, your sister-inw won¡¯t be able to take care of your children.¡± Even the butler joined in. ¡°Young madam, if you give birth now, I can help take care of the children too.¡± Ji Lingchen, who usually had a cold expression, was now smiling so wide that his mouth could not close. For the first time, he felt like his family was so wonderful. Not only did they find him a precious wife, but they were also helping him get children. Fang Xiaonuan panicked. She tugged at Ji Lingchen¡¯s sleeve and said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s go back to our room. This ce is not suitable for human survival¡­¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s t stomach. ¡°So, Xiaonuan, do you want to get pregnant?¡± Chapter 161 - Conditions

Fang Xiaonuan winked at her husband. What she wanted to say was: ¡°Give birth to a baby? Nothing has happened between the two of us yet. How can we give birth to a baby just by kissing?¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows. What he meant was: ¡°Should we give it a try?¡± Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband¡¯s reaction and was so scared that she ran away. ¡°Hubby, if you don¡¯t want to go up, I¡¯m leaving.¡± She really did not want to listen to everyone urging her to give birth anymore, so she jogged upstairs. Feng Qi smiled. ¡°Xiaonuan is still too young. She¡¯s shy when ites to topics like this.¡± Then, the family voiced all their thoughts to Ji Lingchen. ¡°Lingchen, when you go back to the room, tell Xiaonuan that there are many benefits to giving birth early.¡± ¡°Lingchen, you¡¯re not young anymore. When your brother was your age, he was already a father.¡± ¡°Brother, treat Xiaonuan better and coax her to give birth to a child.¡± Only Ji Wen had a different opinion, he said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°Uncle, I was deliberately provoking Fang Xiaonuan just now. Actually, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate for her to have a child now. Of course, as your nephew, I also hope that you can be a father as soon as possible. But she¡¯s only 20 years old this year. Other people at this age are still treasured children in the eyes of their parents. If she bes a mother now, people will be gossiping about her at school. They¡¯re already gossiping about her marriage. If she gets pregnant, these discussions will be even louder.¡± Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan had known each other for more than ten years. As a good friend to her, this was his advice. Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Feng Qi realized that if her daughter was 20 years old, and her inws were pestering her to give birth, she would find it uneptable. Old Mater Ji also came to his senses. He was just thinking about adding a new member to the Ji family and forgot that his daughter-inw was still a student. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°The two of us will discuss this. It¡¯s better to wait for Xiaonuan to graduate and enjoy her freedom for a while. Then we¡¯ll think about having a child.¡± After saying that, he stood up and picked up the roses. ¡°I¡¯ll go upstairs first. Everyone, go to bed early.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was eavesdropping, heard that the discussion in the living room had ended and quickly returned to her bedroom. Ji Lingchen returned to his room and saw that his wife was sitting on the sofa, reading a book upside down. He said, ¡°Xiaonuan, the book is upside down.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took a closer look. Ugh, it really was upside down! She immediately flipped the book over and continued to pretend to read it. In fact, she could not process a single word. Ji Lingchen did not say anything. Instead, he paced the room, holding the bouquet of roses. After searching for a while, he finally found a suitable container for his roses. Seeing that her husband had found a bottle, Fang Xiaonuan ran over to help. She was a girl, so she was definitely better at arranging flowers than her husband. Ji Lingchen saw his wife take the flowers and stood aside to watch. She was fiddling with the flowers and trimming the leaves. ¡°Did you hear what we said in the living room just now?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan pouted and nodded. ¡°Hubby, are we really going to have a child?¡± If they wanted to have children, their married life would change. However, what surprised her was that Ji Wen had always been quarreling with her, but now he was able to stand up for her. She was a little surprised and touched. Ji Lingchen caressed his wife¡¯s hair and said, ¡°Whether you want to have a child or not, it¡¯s up to you. Xiaowen is right. Getting married while you¡¯re still in school would push you into the eye of the storm. If you have a child now, there will be even more gossip about you.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan had arranged the flowers, she opened her arms and threw herself into her husband¡¯s arms. Ji Lingchen caressed his wife¡¯s hair. She was a clingy kitten, making him want to hug her, caress her, and kiss her. In her husband¡¯s arms, Fang Xiaonuan finally rxed and said, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that I can¡¯t have children.¡± She was not afraid of the discussions. She was afraid that her rtionship with her husband was not stable enough. If they encountered any marital problems now, it would not be too hard to handle. However, once she had children, if something happened between the husband and wife, the children would have to suffer as well. Although her life with her husband was very sweet, in the end, their marriage had only just begun. It had not even been a hundred days. In such a short period of time, she had not fully understood the person in front of her. How many exes did he have? Was his private life chaotic? Did he have any health problems? There were many things she needed to learn. She needed to at least understand the father of the future child, and not be in a hurry to have a child because of a momentary crush. Although she was young, she had considered all this. The fact that she had relented now indicated that she wanted to have a future with her husband. Her words piqued Ji Lingchen¡¯s interest, and he asked, ¡°What are your conditions?¡± Chapter 162 - Fall in Love

Chapter 162: Fall in Love

Fang Xiaonuan tugged at the corner of her husband¡¯s shirt and rubbed it between her small hands. Then, she said, ¡°Hubby, fall in love with me!¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Fang Xiaonuan smiled, her eyes twinkling with excitement. She said excitedly, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve never fallen in love before. I married you immediately. I want to officially fall in love with you, then I¡¯ll give birth to a baby tiger for you, okay?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°We¡¯re already married. But, you want to date me?¡± ¡°Yes, yes. Hubby, don¡¯t you think this is very romantic?¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled sweetly and replied, ¡°Other people all fall in love before they get married. They may date for a long time, then not get married.¡± ¡°We¡¯re different. We¡¯re already married. It¡¯s the same as having a safety. No matter how the rtionship ends, we¡¯re already together. We don¡¯t have to worry about the failure of our rtionship at all.¡± ¡°Moreover, the rtionship doesn¡¯t affect our lives. We can even get along morefortably.¡± Ji Lingchen felt that his wife¡¯s way of thinking was really different from that of ordinary people. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°Being in a rtionship can help you understand me better. If you think that I¡¯m not suitable to be your wife, you can voice your thoughts too.¡± ¡°But if we have a child now, and something happens between us, I¡¯ll always be the mother of your child. That¡¯s a fact that cannot be changed forever.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, you want to understand me better through dating, right? You want to see if I am your ideal husband, and then you¡¯ll decide whether or not to have children with me.¡± Ji Lingchen mercilessly exposed his wife¡¯s point of view. Fang Xiaonuan smiled guiltily and said, ¡°Ugh, understanding is mutual. If I test you, you test me too!¡± ¡°Can you do it? Hubby, please fulfill my small wish!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Do we have to date and talk?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded solemnly. ¡°I¡¯ve never been in a rtionship before. I want to go to the cinema with my boyfriend and watch a movie. I also want to shyly drink a cup of milk tea with my boyfriend and kiss him. I want to go on a date, go to a parade, and do all the things that couples do together.¡± Ji Lingchen thought for a while and looked into his wife¡¯s eyes which were twinkling with anticipation. He could not say anything to reject her. Fang Xiaonuan revealed her final trump card. ¡°Once we be boyfriend and girlfriend, we¡¯ll have to kiss and hug often in the future.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. He had no problem with this! Even though he knew that this was his little wife¡¯s trick, Ji Lingchen was willing to humor her. He said, ¡°Let¡¯s start immediately?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Okay, um¡­¡± Immediately, Ji Lingchen started to fulfill his duties as a boyfriend. He directly picked Fang Xiaonuan up and pressed her up against the wall. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body was suspended in mid-air, and he kissed her like that. ¡°Hubby, who would kiss someone right after they start dating?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were already filled with lust. He suppressed the desire in his heart, and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed as he said, ¡°Xiaonuan, I don¡¯t have much patience. Let¡¯s not y around for too long.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had already sensed the desire in her husband¡¯s eyes. She was so frightened that she quickly nodded. During the night, they fell asleep in each other¡¯s arms. It seemed like something had changed, but also like nothing had changed. Ji Lingchen did not dare to touch his wife¡¯s back forcefully. He was always worried about the wounds on her back. Every time he applied medicine on the wounds, he would hate the person who hurt his wife even more. ¡°Did you fight back when you went to school today?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°No, hubby. I might not be able to fight back,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°Why?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°People aren¡¯t talking about me anymore on the forum. They know that you are my husband. They are so scared that they are avoiding me. They won¡¯t even talk to me. How am I going to fight back?¡± ¡°They¡¯re smart enough to be scared? Then, it¡¯s easy for you to get them back. That way, they won¡¯t even call the police when you hit them back,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan looked up at her husband and pouted. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault, hubby.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Huh?¡± His fault? Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. You put the acquisition of Jing University under my name, and I became the principal all of a sudden. Have you ever seen a principal hit a student?¡± ¡°If the reporters found out, they would definitely criticize me in their report. Then they would find out that my husband is the famous king of the business world, Ji Lingchen. The reporters would also say that I ¡®made my husband act this way,¡¯ and say that you ¡®pamper your wife too much¡¯.¡± Ji Lingchen liked listening to his little wife¡¯s strange opinions. He said in a low voice, ¡°No, if they find out that the man supporting you is me, those people who scolded you would immediately start praising you.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, puzzled.

Ji Lingchen said seriously, ¡°You are my wife. If they dare to say anything bad, would they get away scot-free?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. Was her husband so cruel? This was really domineering! ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s not good for you to be like this. You should be a good person. You can¡¯t force others to lower their heads just because you have money and power.¡± ¡°Otherwise, if one day you are down and out, won¡¯t those people be your enemies? What if theye to kick you when you are down?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go too far. It will be easier to face them in the future.¡± This was what Fang Xiaonuan had learned from quarreling with her sister-inw and her father-inw when they were newlyweds. Ji Lingchen said calmly, ¡°That won¡¯t happen because no one can step on me.¡± He looked at his petite wife. She had only heard that he was the king of Jing City¡¯s business world, but she had never truly understood what his business empire was like. ¡°Xiaonuan, even if I stay at home with you every day in the future, the Ji Corporation will always be legendary in Jing City¡¯s business world,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan blinked, secretly cursing her husband for talking so highly of himself. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m not lying.¡± He seemed to have the ability to read her mind, and he could guess her thoughts from her expression. Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue. ¡°That might be the case. What if I give birth to a prodigal son and cause thepany to go bankrupt in the future?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that won¡¯t happen.¡± ¡°Why, hubby?¡± Fang Xiaonuan recalled that in ss, when those old professors mentioned Ji Lingchen, they beamed with joy for two hours. However, she had not been listening carefully and only felt bored. After she married Ji Lingchen, her parents also sounded very impressed whenever they announced that Ji Lingchen was their son-inw. ¡°Hubby, could it be that you are a god descending to the mortal world?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you are human.¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. Why did he feel that his wife was scolding him? It waste. Ji Lingchen wanted to pick up his book and read for a while. Just as he opened the book, his wife snatched it away and stuffed it under the pillow. Fang Xiaonuan ordered in a domineering little voice, ¡°Hubby, go to sleep.¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned for a second before he reallyy down. He even stretched out his arms to give his kitten a pillow. The kitten skillfullyy on her husband¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Hubby, your arm is a really good pillow. My neck arthritis has been cured.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you want to sleep on my arm, just do it all the time. There¡¯s no need to make excuses.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Okay, hubby. Tomorrow night and the night after, I want to sleep on your arm.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡­ The next day, because she did not have any sses, Fang Xiaonuan slept in. Previously, she had always reminded herself that this was her inws¡¯ house. She could not sleep in and bezy or she would be criticized by her inws. However, without knowing when it had started, she now treated this ce as her home. She would sleep until she woke up naturally every weekend. No one would disturb her. Ji Wen was also sleeping in. Feng Qi had woken up early in the morning to take care of family matters. She had originally wanted to ask Fang Xiaonuan for help, but when she remembered that Xiaonuan was still young, she turned around and went to her son¡¯s room. ¡°Don¡¯t sleep anymore. Get up and help me make some forms.¡± Ji Wen, who had been woken up, looked displeased. ¡°Ugh, Mom, ask Dad to help you. I¡¯m not going to get up.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Your dad went out to do some work. He¡¯s not at home.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Then wake Fang Xiaonuan up.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Your aunt is still sleeping. Hurry up and get up.¡± Ji Wen was about to explode from anger. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m still sleeping too!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you awake now?¡± Feng Qi said. ¡°You woke me up. Why didn¡¯t you wake Fang Xiaonuan up?¡± Ji Wen was furious. Ever since Fang Xiaonuan married into his family, he was no longer the favorite. His parents and grandfather all doted on Fang Xiaonuan. No one doted on him anymore. That was not all. When they needed him to help with troublesome things, they woulde to him. When they did not need him, they would cast him aside. ¡°Xiaowen, get up quickly, or I¡¯ll call your uncle,¡± Feng Qi threatened her son. At the mention of his uncle, Ji Wen suppressed his anger and got up. After helping his mother with the forms, he immediately returned to the bedroom and covered his head to continue sleeping. Fang Xiaonuan woke up. She stretched her body and subconsciously called out, ¡°Hubby?¡± There was no response. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was already past nine in the morning. She got up and casually put on a knitted sweater before going downstairs. When she saw a maid, she quickly asked, ¡°Where¡¯s my hubby?¡± ¡°Second young master went to the study,¡± the maid replied. Chapter 164 - Clingy Chapter 164: Clingy Fang Xiaonuan immediately returned upstairs and went straight to the study to look for her husband. She knocked on the study¡¯s door and said, ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Come in.¡± A man¡¯s voice came from the study. Fang Xiaonuan pushed the door open and entered. As she walked towards her husband, she yawned. She realized that her husband¡¯sputer was filled with dense data. She rubbed her eyes and asked, ¡°I don¡¯t understand a single word. Hubby, it¡¯s the weekend. What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m working overtime.¡± Ji Lingchen turned the chair and pulled his wife into his arms. Fang Xiaonuan sat on her husband¡¯sp and yawned again. ¡°Why am I still sleepy after sleeping so much?¡± Fang Xiaonuan mumbled. Ji Lingchen looked at his sleepy wife and chuckled. ¡°You¡¯ve slept for 11 hours already. Why are you still sleepy?¡± Fang Xiaonuan reached out and wrapped her arms around her husband¡¯s neck. She leaned her head on her husband¡¯s shoulder and said softly, ¡°Ugh, hubby, I¡¯mzy.¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchen also felt that his wife was being veryzy now. He hugged his wife¡¯s soft body. He had long lost the desire to work. No wonder some emperors in ancient times did not attend morning court because of women. If he were an emperor, with his wife in his arms like this, he would not want to attend morning court either. ¡°Have you slept enough?¡± Ji Lingchen asked gently. Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and have breakfast,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan slowly got off her husband¡¯sp. She held her husband¡¯s thumb tightly with her small fingers, and the two of them went downstairs together. ¡°This young mistress is very clingy. Every time she wakes up and doesn¡¯t see the second young master, she looks for him everywhere,¡± the maids were gossiping on the steps. ¡°Exactly. Last time, she woke up and the young master had already gone to the office. The young mistress searched the entire house. When she found out that he had gone to the office, she went straight to the office to look for him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Just now, she asked where the second young master was. He was in the study, so she went straight to the study.¡± ¡°They haven¡¯t been married for long, so they must be in their honeymoon phase. She can¡¯t leave him, and she wants to cling to him.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was about to go downstairs with her husband, was speechless. The more she heard, the angrier she got, and her little face swelled up. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, was exceptionally happy when he heard this. It seemed that when he was not at home, his little wife would look for him everywhere once she woke up! ¡°So, you can¡¯t leave me. Do you feel ufortable after we¡¯re apart for a while?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with a smile. Fang Xiaonuan stomped her feet in anger and walked straight to the stairs, she shouted at the maids who were chatting, ¡°You guys are spouting nonsense. I did not wake up and look for my husband straightaway. I did not search the house for him. I¡¯m not clingy. Don¡¯t specte. It¡¯s my husband who can¡¯t be without me, okay!¡± ¡°Young madam¡­¡± Hearing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words, the maids looked at her in panic. The most taboo thing for maids was to talk about the affairs of the family they were working for behind their backs. Plus, they were overheard! Ji Lingchen quickly tugged the angry kitten back and stroked her back. ¡°They¡¯re not angry. They¡¯re right.¡± Fang Xiaonuan tugged at her husband¡¯s clothes with both hands and said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, am I very clingy?¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m clingy. It¡¯s just how I like it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not want to hear her husband¡¯s answer, so the angry kitten left her husband and went downstairs to the dining hall alone. When she reached, she saw Ji Wen and asked, ¡°Why are you sleeping now?¡± Ji Wen was just about to retort when he saw his uncle behind her. He choked back his words. ¡°I was tired from studyingst night.¡± ¡°Your skin is thicker again,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said mockingly. She sat down after she finished speaking, and the maid quickly brought her breakfast to the table. ¡°Where¡¯s my husband¡¯s?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. She herself did not realize it, but she could always say things like, ¡°Where¡¯s my husband?¡±, ¡°What did my husband do?¡±, ¡°My husband¡­¡± and so on. To the maids, Fang Xiaonuan was even more clingy. Ji Lingchen pulled out the chair next to his wife and sat down. ¡°I finished eating in the morning.¡± He was here to apany his wife. Fang Xiaonuan touched her husband¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Hubby, you can go back to the study and continue working. Otherwise, everyone will say that I¡¯m clingy. Xiaowen will apany me.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled even more happily. ¡°I¡¯m here because I want everyone to know that I¡¯m clingy and that I want to apany you while you eat, okay?¡± Chapter 165 - What If I Hit My Husband?

Chapter 165: What If I Hit My Husband?

Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and looked at the two maids in the dining hall. ¡°Did you hear that? My husband is the one who is clingy. See!¡± The two maids quickly said, ¡°Yes, Madam.¡± After saying that, they lowered their heads and held back theirughter. They did not expect her to be so cute. Fang Xiaonuan nodded in satisfaction. While they were eating, Ji Lingchen suddenly asked Ji Wen, ¡°Have you taken the ounting certificate exam?¡± Ji Wen shook his head. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you have nothing to do, read more books. If you want to take the ounting certificate exam, you have to prepare well. You have to start with the easy ones first. You have to take the exam before your third year. After your fourth year, you can focus on preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam.¡± Ji Wen was almost out of breath from hearing Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, so he said, ¡°Uncle, I don¡¯t want to take the exam.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was chewing on a big mouthful of her meat bun. She looked up at Ji Wen and then at her husband. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m not asking for your opinion.¡± After more than ten years of friendship, Fang Xiaonuan knew Ji Wen very well. She knew very well that Ji Wen did not want to take this path at all. Looking at Ji Wen, who hadpromised with Ji Lingchen, she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she picked up the spoon, lowered her head, and silently ate her congee. After eating for a while, she turned to look at her husband. She could feel that after Ji Wen said he did not want to take the exam, her husband had obviously be unhappy. It was clearly peaceful just now, but now the atmosphere had be cold. Fang Xiaonuan thought to herself, ¡®Could it be that I¡¯m thinking too much?¡¯ ¡°Hubby, I want to ask you a question.¡± Fang Xiaonuan stretched out her small hand and waved it in front of her husband. Ji Lingchen pulled down his wife¡¯s hand. His expression softened a lot, and he said with a smile, ¡°Ask away.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and asked, ¡°Do I have to take the ounting certificate and CFA exam or something?¡± ¡°If you want to, you can take it. If you don¡¯t, it¡¯s useless,¡± Ji Lingchen said. He had very low requirements for his wife, which made Ji Wen very envious. Fang Xiaonuan asked again, ¡°Hubby, which certificates did you take? Was it very difficult?¡± Ji Wen interjected, ¡°Not only are they difficult, but they¡¯re also very boring!¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned to look at Ji Wen. ¡°If you don¡¯t like these things, why do you want to go to business school?¡± Ji Wen looked at Ji Lingchen and buried his head in his food. There was no need to say anything. It was obvious. Ji Lingchen had chosen this path for him. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband and said, ¡°If it¡¯s difficult, I won¡¯t take the exam.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I know. If you want to learn, I can teach you one-on-one. That won¡¯t cost money. We can work on a reward basis,¡± Ji Lingchen said. When her husband mentioned ¡°reward,¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately thought of the intimacy they sharedst night, and her face instantly turned red. ¡°I don¡¯t want to learn that,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, pouting. Ji Lingchen guessed what his wife was thinking andughed softly. Then he said, ¡°Okay, you don¡¯t have to. Hurry up and eat. I¡¯ll teach you how to drive in a while.¡± ¡°You really want to teach me to drive?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was still pouting. ¡°Hubby, can¡¯t I just be a happy passenger?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to own a luxury car?¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who had no ambitions at all, shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. ¡°Then, don¡¯t you want to go wherever you want in the future?¡± Fang Xiaonuan still shook her head. ¡°I have a car at home, taxis on the street, and you can pick me up.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Why was his wife so resistant to learning how to drive? ¡°Then if I go abroad on business and there are no taxis on the street, what will you do?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll call Dad or Xiaowen to pick me up.¡± ¡°You have quite a lot of drivers.¡± Ji Lingchen took his wife¡¯s hand and asked, ¡°You really don¡¯t want to learn?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. ¡°I still want to, but I don¡¯t want you to teach me.¡± After saying that, she looked at Ji Wen. ¡°Hubby, why don¡¯t you let Xiaowen teach me?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°No, if you want to learn, I have to teach you.¡± ¡°But, hubby, if you teach me, you¡¯ll think I¡¯m stupid. You might even scold me. I¡¯m afraid that in a fit of anger, I¡¯ll¡­ hit you.¡± After saying the second half of her sentence, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice became softer, she was really afraid that she would hit her husband after receiving too much criticism. What if her husband got angry and fell out of love her? But if Ji Wen taught her, Ji Wen definitely would not dare to yell. Even if Ji Wen really did yell, she could just hit him. It was fine to hit her husband¡¯s nephew, but she could not hit her husband. This way, she would get to maintain her sweet rtionship with her husband. At most, she would feel a little guilty about hitting Ji Wen. She would make it up to him in the future. Fang Xiaonuan had settled everything in her head, but her husband said decisively, ¡°No!¡± Chapter 166 - The Trouble with Marrying a Rich

Fang Xiaonuan thought back to the driving lessons her father had given her. She decided to persuade her husband again. ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s very dangerous for me to drive. If I¡¯m not careful, someone might die.¡± Ji Lingchen, ¡°It¡¯s okay. I will risk my life for love.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was rendered speechless by her husband¡¯s words. After dinner, Ji Lingchen pulled his wife to the yard. He stuffed the car keys into her hands. ¡°Get in.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said guiltily, ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s choose a cheaper car.¡± She would not feel so bad if they were using a cheaper car. She could even afford to pay to fix it. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°We don¡¯t have a cheaper car at home. You can drive this one, and you can do whatever you want.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the luxurious cars. It turned out that there was something depressing about being married to a rich man. She could not even find a cheap car to practice driving in. All of them were worth millions. ¡°Hubby, if it gets damaged, do you want me to pay for it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked weakly. Ji Lingchen said deliberately, ¡°You might need to pay for it, but I can reimburse you¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that her husband was talking nonsense. If the car got damaged, she would pay to fix it, then her husband would reimburse her. Wouldn¡¯t that mean that he would be paying for the repairs himself? After getting into the car, Fang Xiaonuan finally understood what her husband meant. She blinked and asked with a smile, ¡°Oh! Hubby, did you mean that I don¡¯t need to pay for any damages?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife¡¯s happy face, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up. ¡°You¡¯re not very stupid. You can be cured.¡± Fang Xiaonuan gently poked her husband¡¯s face and pouted. ¡°Hmph, can¡¯t you say it more clearly? Do you have to confuse me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll know soon enough if you can handle it,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Suddenly, he got up from the passenger seat and approached Fang Xiaonuan, who was in the driver¡¯s seat. Fang Xiaonuan felt a huge shadow looming over her. Her heart instantly stopped beating. She thought her husband was going to kiss her. ¡°Ah, hubby, let¡¯s not do this in the car. There are people outside¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly. Unexpectedly, Ji Lingchen only leaned over to adjust her seat. She was small and her legs were short. He was afraid that he would confuse her with the instructions, so he just fixed it for her himself. However, his wife actually thought that he was going to kiss her in the car. The seat slowly moved forward. Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize that her husband was only helping to adjust the seat. However, as the seat moved, she got closer and closer to her husband¡¯s face. Her eyes would always inadvertentlynd on her husband¡¯s lips. Just when there were only a few centimeters between the two of them, the seat stopped. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s back was pressed against the seat. She spoke carefully, afraid that she would touch her husband¡¯s lips. ¡°Hubby, move back a little. Being this close is ufortable.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Lingchen kissed her, tasting her lips greedily. Fang Xiaonuan clenched her small hands nervously, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Lust filled the car, and the more they kissed, the more engrossed they became. Fang Xiaonuan did not even know when she had wrapped her arms around her husband¡¯s neck. When she finally reacted, regret had welled up within her. She covered her small face with both hands and said regretfully, ¡°Ugh, Hubby, I already said that we can¡¯t kiss. There are so many maids outside. It would be so embarrassing if people saw us.¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled and said, ¡°I couldn¡¯t help it. I couldn¡¯t control myself.¡± After that, he helped his wife put on her seatbelt and sat back in the passenger seat as if nothing had happened. ¡°Put your hands down. No one can see you,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan was so shy that she quickly turned her face to the window. Ji Lingchen was not in a hurry. He smiled and sat quietly in the car with his wife. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan finally got her thoughts straight. The two of them were already married. She could not be so shy all the time. She patted her little face and started the car. Ji Lingchen instructed, ¡°In the future, make sure that no one is standing by the car. Once you¡¯re sure that no one is by the car, get in the car and lock the door. Then, put on your seatbelt.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I know. The driving instructor taught me.¡± After getting into the car, Fang Xiaonuan acted like a newbie and was extremely nervous. Seeing his wife¡¯s reaction, Ji Lingchen realized that his wife was definitely the type who had solid theoretical knowledge, but waspletely incapable of putting the knowledge into practice. ¡°Step on the brake and put it in gear¡­ What should I do? Where¡¯s the gear?¡± Fang Xiaonuan anxiously looked around and finally found the gearshift behind the steering wheel. Only then did she calm down. She turned her head and asked, ¡°Hubby, D means drive, right?¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. Fang Xiaonuan muttered softly, ¡°Turn on the lights, honk the horn.¡± The sound of a car horn rang out in the courtyard. Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. Chapter 167 - Crawling Like a Sloth

¡°Hubby, why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked when she saw that her husband was not reacting. Ji Lingchen did not want to discourage his wife¡¯s enthusiasm, so he praised her, ¡°You did well. You¡¯ve memorized the whole process of getting into the car.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was really more confident when she heard that. She asked excitedly, ¡°Really, hubby? My mother said that she wouldn¡¯t mind being a passenger in a car I was driving. She said that it was like being a tank, dangerous.¡± She had refuted, ¡°Then you¡¯re really lucky. Other people wouldn¡¯t be able to sit in a tank even if they wanted to.¡± In the end, her mother had taught her a thing or two. ¡°And Xiaohang, he alwaysined that I had too many rituals toplete just to get into the car.¡± Of course, she immediately pulled her brother out of the car and gave him a beating. After that, Fang Hang had not been that bad. However, she never learned how to drive. Thinking about it now, made her emotional. If Fang Xiaonuan had not mentioned Fang Hang, Ji Lingchen would have forgotten that he still had a brother-inw abroad. ¡°Oh right, Xiaonuan, after we got married, did Xiaohang call you?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. If the siblings shared a good rtionship and he knew that his sister was getting married, her brother would certainly scrutinize the new husband. But up until now, he had not spoken to Fang Hang on the phone. ¡°I haven¡¯t called him. He¡¯s very busy with his studies, and he¡¯s jetgged. He usually calls my parents,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. In fact, she would asionally receive calls from her brother, but she would always answer them behind her husband¡¯s back, therefore, he did not know. Ji Lingchen did not press further. Instead, he said, ¡°Drive a few rounds in the front yard and then drive the car to the fountain.¡± ¡°Honey, your car doesn¡¯t have a handbrake!¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly said. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ll take care of the handbrake for you.¡± ¡°You can start now,¡± he urged. Fang Xiaonuan panicked and pressed the horn again. Then, she let go of the brake and let the car slide forward slowly. Then, she gently stepped on the elerator and drove forward slowly. A car horn woke Old Master Ji up. He came out of the bedroom and saw his grandson. He asked, ¡°Who¡¯s honking outside?¡± ¡°My uncle is teaching my aunt how to drive,¡± Ji Wen replied. Old Master Ji mumbled, ¡°He¡¯s really full of himself. Teaching his wife how to drive on such a hot day?¡± Old Master Ji had nothing to do, so he chatted with his grandson. ¡°Xiaowen, do you think your uncle has lost his mind? When I asked him to marry Xiaonuan, his face looked as dreary as a stormy sky. He said he didn¡¯t want to marry her no matter what. But now, he¡¯s fine. He probably won¡¯t agree to a divorce with Xiaonuan even if his life depended on it.¡± Ji Wen suddenly thought of something. He moved closer to Old Master Ji and asked in a low voice, ¡°Right, given my uncle¡¯s temper, he usually doesn¡¯t listen to you. How did you convince him to marry Fang Xiaonuan?¡± Old Master Ji said smugly, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because I, as his father, have some tricks up my sleeve. No matter how capable he is, he¡¯s just a CEO. I¡¯m the chairman who holds more power than him!¡± But Old Master Ji could not enjoy his little quip for long. Ji Wen could see that there was something else. ¡°Grandpa, forget that. My uncle handles Ji Corporation. Even if he wasn¡¯t given the CEO position, he can just casually register a newpany with his people and make aeback. If you were the one handling Ji Corporation, would you still be this powerful?¡± Old Master Ji pped the back of Ji Wen¡¯s head. ¡°You!¡± Ji Wen rubbed the back of his head, took a few steps back, and said, ¡°Grandpa, just tell me the truth. I promise I won¡¯t tell anyone.¡± Old Master Ji was angry. He did not want to tell his grandson at all. When a man got old, his temper would be like that of a child. He would treat those who went along with his wishes well. If anyone went against his wishes, he would not treat them well. ¡°The truth? You don¡¯t deserve to hear it. Hmph!¡± After Old Master Ji said that, he stood up and walked towards the courtyard. He saw the car in the courtyard slowly crawling around like a sloth. In the car, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body stiffened. Her husband keptforting her. ¡°It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°Hubby, there¡¯s someone there,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said to her husband, sobbing. Ji Lingchen was speechless. If she did not step on the brakes now, would she hit that person? ¡°Honey, what should we do? That person is getting closer and closer,¡± Fang Xiaonuan cried as she waited for instructions. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s leg and then at the maid not far away. Why hadn¡¯t she stepped on the brake upon seeing someone in her path? The maid was the same. She was not getting out of the way. If something really happened, both of them would be responsible. Fang Xiaonuan was so flustered that shepletely forgot about the brakes. Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the maid, she hurriedly opened the window, and she shouted, ¡°Hey, move! I¡¯m going to hit you.¡± However, her speed didn¡¯t change at all.

Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words at his wife¡¯s actions. If she could think of opening the window and shouting, why didn¡¯t she think of using the brakes? Even if she had not thought about using the brakes, why had she honked the horn and shouted? Could it be that whenever she saw someone in front of the car, she would stick her head out the window and shout at them? Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s shout was effective. In a short while, all the maids in the courtyard moved away. ¡°Stop the car,¡± Ji Lingchen said. When Fang Xiaonuan heard the order, she immediately stepped on the brakes. However, she used too much force and stepped too hard. Her body lurched forward suddenly, but because she was wearing a seatbelt, she was fine. It was not a big deal. However, her husband, who trusted her too much, was in trouble. He had not put on his seatbelt at all, so his body lurched forward. He hit the windscreen. Ji Lingchen let out a muffled groan. He had subconsciously used his hands to reduce the impact and stabilize himself. He repeated a little mantra to himself: his wife was driving, the driver was his little wife, the kitten that he doted on. He would be patient and speak gently to her. He would not get angry or scold her! After the car stopped, Fang Xiaonuan let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she quickly turned to look at her husband¡¯s condition. ¡°Hubby, are you okay? Where does it hurt? Is it bad?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked anxiously. At this moment, the car suddenly slid forward slowly again. Fang Xiaonuan was shocked beyond words when she realized that the car was out of control. She was so scared that she quickly pped her husband and begged for help. ¡°Hubby, what should we do? I didn¡¯t even step on the elerator. It¡­ why is it moving? Hubby, help!¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He took two deep breaths and reached out to change the gear from D to P. Then, the car finally stopped. Fang Xiaonuan also quieted down. After waiting for a while, she saw that the car was really stationary. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°Hubby, if you want to scold me, then scold me. You¡¯ll get sick if you bottle up your feelings. If you get sick, I¡¯ll have to serve you.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife and could only say without believing it, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault. There was a problem with the design of the car.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s my fault. I didn¡¯t step on the brakes, and forgot to switch gears when I stopped.¡± Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head, feeling guilty. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You just started learning. It¡¯s a process. I¡¯ll be here with you. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± He reached out to hold his wife¡¯s small hand and asked, ¡°What should you do if you see a pedestrian on the road?¡± Fang Xiaonuan whispered, ¡°Tell them to move aside.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°How?¡± He thought that since the car had stopped and his wife was no longer flustered, she should know what to do. However, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s answer made him want to eitherugh or cry. ¡°I¡¯ll just open the window and shout to tell them!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied confidently. She waspletely unaware of her mistake and added, ¡°I just shouted a few words to the maids, and they all got out of the way.¡± Ji Lingchen said helplessly, ¡°Xiaonuan, you drive a car, not a bicycle. Even if you were riding a bicycle, there would be a bell attached. You don¡¯t need to shout to pedestrians.¡± He hoped that his little wife would remember that the horn was used to alert others, and not just something to check after getting in the car. Fang Xiaonuan thought for a while and said excitedly, ¡°Ah, yes, I can honk the horn!¡± ¡°Yes, why didn¡¯t I honk the horn just now? Why did I have to open the window and shout?¡± Ji Lingchen also wanted to know what his wife was thinking when she stuck her head out and shouted at the maids. He reminded her, ¡°Xiaonuan, also, you have to remember to brake when you see pedestrians, and you have to give way to pedestrians when you drive. Do you understand? No matter what happens, you have to remember to step on the brake.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°I understand.¡± Although she had memorized it, she did not know if her hands could follow her brain¡¯s instructions. Ji Lingchen nned to continue teaching his wife how to drive, but this time, he put on his seatbelt. The car circled the front yard three times before reaching the fountain. However, Fang Xiaonuan turned the car in the opposite direction. Ji Lingchen shouted, ¡°Stop the car!¡± Then, the car came to a sudden stop again. His body lurched forward. Fortunately, the seatbelt kept him mostly in ce this time. He guided his wife to the correct route, and Fang Xiaonuan started the car again. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Stop the car.¡± The seatbelt saved his life once again. ¡°Xiaonuan, when driving, don¡¯t drive in the middle of the road. Drive on the side,¡± Ji Lingchen instructed. After another five minutes, Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Stop the car!¡± The seatbelt saved his life for the third time, but now, his chest hurt a little. He coughed a few times and asked, ¡°How did you feel when you were driving just now?¡± Chapter 169 - Coaxing a Child

Chapter 169: Coaxing a Child

Fang Xiaonuan said aggrievedly, ¡°Being on the road isn¡¯t peaceful.¡± Hearing his little wife¡¯s voice, Ji Lingchen lost all his temper. He could only say softly, ¡°Be good. That¡¯s because you were near flowers just now.¡± Fortunately, there were only flowers beside them. If it was a fence, she would have directly crashed into it. If it was a cliff, the car would¡¯ve driven off it. The Ji family¡¯s workers had delivered flowers early in the morning. They were to be nted in the garden. In the end, the flowers had not even stayed in the soil for a day before they died under the wheels of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s car. When Fang Xiaonuan heard this, her heart instantly ached for the flowers. She unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car to take a look, but she stepped on the elerator again forgot to change gears. The car started moving again. Ji Lingchen would always reprimand subordinates who made the same mistake over and over again. Even if his subordinates did not change over and over again, he had ways to teach them a lesson. However, when faced with his wife, he could not scold or hit her. He could only frown and worry. The car door was already open. Fang Xiaonuan saw that the car was moving forward again. She finally remembered something and shouted, ¡°Ah, I forgot to change gear again.¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchen finally felt a sense of relief. His little wife could still be taught. Fang Xiaonuan once again sat back in the driver¡¯s seat and stepped on the brakes. Then, she changed gears and released the brakes. After making sure that the car did not move again, she got out of the car. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife who had run out of the car to look at the flowers and shook his head helplessly. After he turned off the engine, he got out of the car and followed her. At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan was squatting on the ground with her hands sped together and her eyes closed, she said to the flowers that she had pressed into the ground like she was reciting scriptures, ¡°What a sin. I will do my best to save all of you. If you don¡¯te back, I will bury all of you. You can go in peace.¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. He walked over and half-squatted beside his little wife. ¡°You¡¯re repenting?¡± ¡°No, I want to save them. If I fail to save them, they will have to cross over,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied seriously. Ji Lingchen was stunned again. Why couldn¡¯t he understand his little wife¡¯s behavior? Could this be the so-called generation gap? After being with his little wife, he had indeed gained a lot of knowledge. For example, he had deliberately gone online to search for what lip gloss and lip ze were. Now, he was watching his wife dig a small hole in the soil with her small hands. She buried the flowers in it. As he watched her, he said, ¡°Xiaonuan, the roots of the flowers are still in the soil. You have to dig them out first and then bury them again.¡± ¡°Wow, hubby, what you said makes sense!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said in surprise. After saying that, she quickly went to pull the flowers out by the roots. She did not forget to praise her husband. ¡°Hubby, no wonder people say that you are amazing. You are indeed smarter than the average person!¡± As soon as she said that, an ident happened. Fang Xiaonuan seemed to be frozen on the spot. She stared nkly at the broken flower root in her little hand. Ji Lingchen also silently watched this. Initially, the flower had only been squished for a moment. The flower roots were fine and the flower could still survive if they were rented. But now, his little wife had used too much strength and she had pulled the flower stem apart. The roots were still in the soil. She was dumbfounded now. He calmly said to his little wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, skip the rescue. They can directly cross over.¡± Even if a deity descended to the mortal world, they could not save this flower. Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan cried out loud. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, whose eyes were red with tears. He reached out to wipe away her tears andforted her, ¡°Be good, don¡¯t cry. It¡¯s just a flower.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s crying got Old Master Ji¡¯s attention. He quickly came out to ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Xiaonuan? Are you okay? Did Lingchen bully you? Tell me, and I¡¯ll beat him with a stick. Don¡¯t cry.¡± Old Master Ji acted like he was coaxing a child. He even reached out and hit Ji Lingchen on the back. He did not hit him hard, but he let Fang Xiaonuan know that he was on her side. ¡°Look, I hit him. Don¡¯t cry,¡± Old Master Ji continued to coax her. Fang Xiaonuan put down half of the flower in her hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She cried, ¡°Dad, you hit the wrong person. My husband didn¡¯t bully me.¡± ¡°Ah? Then who bullied you?¡± Old Master Ji asked in confusion. Fang Xiaonuan sobbed and pointed at the flower on the ground that had its roots broken and was crushed by the car. ¡°This.¡± Old Master Ji was stunned. The crushed flower had bullied his daughter-inw. What should he do? Hit the flower to vent his anger on behalf of his daughter-inw? ¡°Well, Xiaonuan, it¡¯s going to be lunchtime soon. The butler called me. You guys should go back and eat too!¡± After saying that, Old Master Ji ran away. Ji Lingchen got hit by his father for no reason. Fang Xiaonuan cried and asked, ¡°Hubby, are you in pain?¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s bury these flowers now. Then, we¡¯ll head back and have lunch, okay?¡± Chapter 170 - Germaphobe?

Fang Xiaonuan nodded with tears in her eyes. ¡°Okay, okay. Hubby,e with me.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Okay.¡± Then, the man apanied his little wife to do something that he had not wanted to do since he was young: digging with his bare hands. He took off his watch and put it into her pocket. Then, he dug a hole, and after he was done, he let his little wife put the flowers in. The two of them cooperated very well. Soon, they buried all the crushed flowers. Their hands were dirty, so they did not get back into the car again. They went straight inside. Ji Wen was still pestering Old Master Ji. ¡°Grandpa, just tell me. How did you get my uncle to marry Fang Xiaonuan? What were you thinking when you were getting Fang Xiaonuan to marry into the family?¡± Old Master Ji was so annoyed that he ran straight to the dining hall. Before he left, he threatened, ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this at home. If your uncle hears about it and beats you up, I won¡¯t help you.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t ask them. They¡¯re on good terms right now. Plus, even if I ask them about this, it won¡¯t affect their rtionship! So, Grandpa, just tell me. I¡¯m very tight-lipped!¡± Ji Wen practically begged. Old Master Ji said, ¡°Hmph, I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Ugh, Grandpa, you can¡¯t be using that person¡¯s information¡­¡± Ji Wen was just halfway through his sentence when he heard the voice of the dining hall¡¯s maid. ¡°Young master, young Madam.¡± He quickly shut his mouth and sat properly. Old Master Ji saw that the young couple¡¯s hands were dirty and asked, ¡°Why are your hands so dirty? Did the two of you go out to y in the mud?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said, ¡°I dug a grave for the flowers.¡± Old Master Ji was speechless. Ji Wen pointed at Ji Lingchen¡¯s hands and asked, ¡°Then what happened to my uncle¡¯s hands?¡± He felt that his uncle would not have dirtied his hands for the sake of the flowers. Fang Xiaonuan exined, ¡°My husband dug the grave, and I filled in the grave.¡± The grandfather and grandson were so shocked that their jaws dropped. Ji Lingchen, digging a hole? ying with the soil? Fang Xiaonuan did not understand why everyone was so surprised. She asked, ¡°That¡¯s right. Is it that unbelievable?¡± Ji Lingchen did not let his wife continue to talk about digging. Instead, he pulled her to the bathroom to wash her hands. Old Master Ji and his grandson were left looking at each other, so shocked that they could not speak. Old Master Ji recalled that ever since his son developed the ability to tell things apart, he had be different from other children. Other children loved to y with sand and building blocks. However, every time he bought toys for his son that children his age often yed with, Ji Lingchen did not like them very much. He even threw them aside and looked at ases. When he went to kindergarten, other children would y with dirt in the yard. He never went either. Instead, he thought it was dirty. He did not y with things like sticine. He found it childish. It could be said that he did not have much of a childhood. Moreover, Old Master Ji always thought that his son was a neat freak, so before his son came home, he would order the maids to clean the house. With that in mind, it was hard to believe that he was digging in the yard with his bare hands. Ji Wen was shocked at how much his uncle doted on his good friend. When he was young, his uncle had beaten him countless times because he hade back dirty. So, he had developed very good hygiene habits. The rice bowl would always be clean, and his clothes would always be spotless. Wherever he was, he had to be clean and tidy. He would often tidy up Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s desk as well. He had always thought that his uncle did not like all the dirty things in this world. However, he had gotten his hands covered in mud because of Fang Xiaonuan! After washing their hands, the couple came out. At the dining table, the grandfather and grandson¡¯s eyes were fixed on the two of them. They felt that such a childish thing like burying flowers was definitely Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s idea. Ji Lingchen would not waste his time on such a boring thing. Fang Xiaonuan held her husband¡¯s hand, took out the watch from her pocket, and said, ¡°Hubby, let me put your watch back on.¡± Ji Lingchen let her have his wrist, allowing her to fiddle with his watch. Seeing this, Ji Wen had a whole new understanding. ¡°In the Ji family, fawning over my uncle doesn¡¯t work, but kissing up to Fang Xiaonuan will get you very far.¡± A momentter, Feng Qi also arrived at the dining hall. ¡°I just talked to my husband on the phone. He won¡¯t be back this afternoon. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Old Master Ji grumbled, ¡°He¡¯s really something. If he didn¡¯t n oning back to eat, he should have said so earlier. His meal has been prepared.¡± Fang Xiaonuan heard his usual nagging. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. Then, she looked at her husband beside her with a smile. Ji Lingchen¡¯s heart immediately began to race. He understood that this was not a feeling of excitement, but a feeling of unease. Chapter 171 - Feeding

Chapter 171: Feeding

¡°Hubby,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ah, hubby, let me tell you something first.¡± Ji Lingchen hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and brought it to his little wife¡¯s mouth. ¡°Try it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan obediently opened her mouth, but after eating the meat, she said, ¡°Hubby, create a group¡­¡± Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Ji Lingchen picked up another piece of meat and fed it to her. Fang Xiaonuan did not reject it. She opened her mouth again to receive it. As she chewed, she said, ¡°It¡¯s that kind of messaging group. You can put the house¡­¡± ¡°Come, open your mouth.¡± Ji Lingchen once again used the meat to interrupt his little wife. This got the attention of the entire table. Everyone silently watched Ji Lingchen feed Fang Xiaonuan meat, but Fang Xiaonuan could not fit any more in her mouth. Ji Lingchen continued to feed her. ¡°Oh, hubby, my mouth is full. Wait until I swallow before you feed me more. Let me talk to you about business first,¡± Fang Xiaonuan protested. Ji Lingchen picked up the soup Bowl and handed it over. ¡°Drink some soup to warm your stomach first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan subconsciously took the bowl and drank it. She had just finished drinking and had just called out ¡°Hubby¡± when two more pieces of vegetables were stuffed into her mouth. Every time she called out ¡°Hubby¡±, she was fed more food. In the end, she could only keep quiet. Seeing that she was not talking, Ji Lingchen asked in return, ¡°What else do you want to eat? I¡¯ll feed you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ji Lingchen, am I disabled?¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. ¡± Why do you say that?¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t keep feeding me. I have hands. I can feed myself,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily. Fang Xiaonuan had reprimanded Ji Lingchen in front of the whole family. He had not lost his temper yet, nor did he refute her. Just as the whole family was waiting for Ji Lingchen to argue with Fang Xiaonuan and regain his pride, Fang Xiaonuan snorted, turned her head, and hit Ji Lingchen on the back of the head. The fight between the couple that the whole family had been waiting for did not happen. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was a little strange, but he did not show much emotion. He picked up a piece of fish and ced it in his wife¡¯s bowl. Fang Xiaonuan did not reject the food because she was angry. Instead, she put the fish into her mouth. After eating, she realized that the family was looking at her husband. She recalled what she had said to her husband just now. Usually, she might act this way in the bedroom only. However, today, she did not have a care in the world about her husband¡¯s pride. After thinking for a while, she stood up and picked up some food for her husband. As she picked up the food, she said, ¡°Fish, bamboo shoots, lotus root slices, beef, duck, and this meat¡­ All of these are for you. Eat more and get fat!¡± After saying that, she did not realize that everyone wasughing. She even ced the full te of food in front of her husband. She said, ¡°You fed me so much just now, so now it¡¯s your turn. Hurry up and eat!¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°But I spoon-fed you just now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face puffed up as she said, ¡°If I fed you, I wouldn¡¯t have enough hands to eat!¡± Hearing this, Feng Qi, who was beside her, could not hold it in any longer. She burst outughing, and Ji Lingchen alsoughed. Heughed at his little wife¡¯s excuse about not having enough hands to feed herself. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Hurry up and eat. I don¡¯t need you to feed me anymore.¡± He just wanted to tease his little wife, and sure enough, she would never let him down. With the little clown, Fang Xiaonuan, at home, there was a lot more joy. At the end of lunch, Old Master Ji asked Fang Xiaonuan about her driving lessons. Fang Xiaonuan thought of all the things that had happened in the morning during the driving lesson. She lowered her head guiltily. She had already squashed the flowers to death. How could she learn? Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Xiaonuan has a lot of room for improvement.¡± Old Master Ji did not understand what his son meant and thought that it was apliment. He said, ¡°Xiaonuan, not bad. Continue to work hard. I¡¯ll support you. When you can drive, you can drive me to the snack street. I still want to try that hot dog you mentionedst time.¡± Fang Xiaonuan obviously knew what her driving skills were like right now. So, she did not agree wholeheartedly. She said, ¡°Dad, I can promise to take you to there, but I can¡¯t promise to drive you there for the time being.¡± That would be a sick joke. She could put Old Master Ji in danger, so she did not dare to agree. Old Master Ji asked in confusion, ¡°Why?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid that my driving will make you averse to riding in cars.¡± Old Master Ji was speechless. Ji Lingchen chuckled beside her. After dinner, the Ji family sat leisurely in the living room to kill time. Ji Lingchen was busy with work, so he went to the study alone. Feng Qi had gotten up early in the morning to take care of the housework. She was sleepy now, so she went back to her room to take a nap. In the end, there were only three people left on the sofa.

Fang Xiaonuan asked Ji Wen, ¡°When did you get up this morning?¡± Ji Wen replied, ¡°Before nine in the morning. How about you?¡± ¡°A little after nine,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Then, both of them looked at the energetic Old Master Ji and asked at the same time, ¡°Grandpa, what time did you get up?¡± ¡°Dad, when did you get up?¡± Old Master Ji looked embarrassed. He did not expect these two young kids to get up earlier than him. He quickly changed the topic. ¡°Can we not talk about these boring things?¡± He did not want to tell them that he only woke up at ten o¡¯clock. Seeing that Old Master Ji did not answer, the two of them did not ask any more questions. If they pressed the subject, they might get scolded. ¡°Dad, do you have a messaging app on your phone?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Old Master Ji said, ¡°What would I need that for? Anything can be solved with a phone call. Text messaging is too trivial.¡± The generation gap was obvious. Deep down, he was still very traditional. He was not very receptive to new things. Even when he saw that the people around him were using their phones for social entertainment, he was not willing to follow suit. A few years ago, Ji Wen had said that he wanted to download a chatting app for him. However, this stubborn old man would not agree no matter what. In the end, he could only give up. Ji Wen secretly told Fang Xiaonuan about this matter. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It must be that you used the wrong method.¡± So, she personally took action. ¡°Dad, do you want to be the group admin?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. ¡°What¡¯s a group admin?¡± Old Master Ji asked curiously. Fang Xiaonuan had wanted to mention this matter during dinner, but her husband kept stuffing food into her mouth, so she had forgotten about it. Now, she brought it up again. ¡°The group admin is the head of our family. We¡¯ll set up a group, and everyone in the family will be added in. You¡¯re the group leader, so you have the right to decide who makes the cut. If you¡¯re in a bad mood one day, you can kick out anyone you want.¡± Old Master Ji had not been a leader for a while, so he was suddenly interested in the group admin role. ¡°Xiaonuan, tell me about this group admin. How do I be it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s n had seeded. She quickly exined to Old Master Ji how to build a group, the rights of the group leader, and the benefits of creating a group. ¡°Here¡¯s an example, Dad. If my husband has a social event to attend, he does not need to call home. He can just send a message in the group saying that he won¡¯t be home for dinner. Our whole family will be able to see the message. Then, we can inform the kitchen to prepare less.¡± ¡°Here¡¯s another example. If I find something delicious, I¡¯ll send a picture of it to the group and ask if anyone wants to try it. You can reply that you¡¯re interested, and I¡¯ll bring some of that delicious food home after school.¡± ¡°Also, if my sister-inw goes shopping, and if I have things I need to buy, I can send a message to the group and ask her to make the purchases for me.¡± The more Old Master Ji listened, the more he felt that this group was a great idea. It sounded convenient. He could just send a message and the whole family would be able to see it. It would save a lot of trouble. ¡°Xiaonuan, then how can I be the group admin?¡± Old Master Ji asked with interest. Fang Xiaonuan took out her phone and began to teach Old Master Ji how to download, register, and basically use the app. Ji Wen, who was beside them, was so shocked that he was rendered speechless. He realized that Fang Xiaonuan was a great talker! She was great at scolding people, insulting people, infuriating people, deceiving people, and coquettishly coaxing people. She was a versatile and omnipotent talker! He had tried for a few years but failed. With just a few words, she was able to persuade his grandfather to download the app. ¡°Xiaonuan, why hasn¡¯t this verification code been sent to me?¡± Old Master Ji asked anxiously. He could not wait to be the group admin. Fang Xiaonuan looked at it and said, ¡°It¡¯ll arrive in a while. Dad, don¡¯t be anxious.¡± The two of them fiddled with their phones for more than ten minutes. ¡°I¡¯ve sessfully registered.¡± Old Master Ji looked at the registered ount and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Then, how can I be friends with you?¡± Old Master Ji asked again. Fang Xiaonuan patiently demonstrated how to add friends and how to send messages. The man on the second floor stood by the railing and watched his little wife. He initially wanted to ask her to go take a nap, but when he overheard what she was saying to his father, he found it interesting. He had been watching from the start. His father was old and his family had advised him to get out more instead of staying home to read. However, his father was stubborn and would not listen to reason. In the end, everyone gave up. Unexpectedly, ever since his little wife entered the house, she had managed to coax his father out of his shell. He also found that his little wife was very patient with his family. His father knew nothing about changing his profile picture, or how to get the verification code. An impatient person would have lost their temper a long time ago. However, his wife was teaching his father without the slightest impatience. It was clear how sincere she behaved with his family. Chapter 173 - I Am Your Father!

Chapter 173: I Am Your Father!

The corners of Ji Lingchen¡¯s mouth curled up, his face full of pride. His wife, his kitten, was such a good woman. An hourter, Old Master Ji finally added Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen¡¯s IDs. He also sent friend requests to the other three people in the family, but they had not been approved yet. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Old Master Ji asked. Fang Xiaonuan nodded. ¡°Yes, Dad. After everyone has added you as their friend, you can just add us all into the family group.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Old Master Ji fiddled with his phone excitedly for a long time. ¡°Where did you go for steakst night? How was it?¡± Old Master Ji asked Fang Xiaonuan after viewing her moments page. After Fang Xiaonuan had a candlelit dinner with her husband yesterday, she had posted the photo to her moments page. Old Master Ji was looking at it now. He even followed what Ji Wen did and liked it. At the same time, Ji Lingchen saw the friend request on his phone. It even came with a message saying: I am your father! Ji Lingchen was speechless. He had no choice but to ept it. ¡°Eh? Ji Lingchen isn¡¯t concentrating on work either. He¡¯s actually ying with his phone,¡± Old Master Ji said. He also ridiculed his second son¡¯s profile picture. ¡°What kind of profile picture is he using? It¡¯s so dark. He looks like an old man. He looks even older than me.¡± Then, Old Master Ji nced at his son¡¯s WeChat moments. There was only a horizontal line, and there was no content. ¡°This person is so boring. He doesn¡¯t even post anything. His moments page is bare. After a while, his mind will be just as empty,¡± Old Master Ji continued. Fang Xiaonuan did not like hearing that. She said, ¡°Dad, that¡¯s enough. After all, he¡¯s my husband. It¡¯s fine if you say a few things in front of me, but if you keep talking about him like that, I¡¯m going to be unhappy.¡± On the outside, she was a member of the Ji family, but on the inside, she was still closest to Ji Lingchen. As a wife, if she heard someoneining about her husband, she definitely would not like hearing it. The man standing on the second floor was very satisfied with his wife¡¯s response. He shouted, ¡°Xiaonuan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned around and looked up at her husband on the second floor. ¡°Hubby, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Come up and take a nap.¡± Ji Lingchen waved at his wife. Seeing that there was nothing else in the living room, Fang Xiaonuan skipped upstairs. When she reached the second floor, Ji Lingchen took her hand and asked with a smile, ¡°Why are you skipping? Whose kitten are you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged her husband¡¯s arm and said coquettishly, ¡°I¡¯m your kitten.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled even wider when he heard this. Before falling asleep, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly asked, ¡°Hubby, why didn¡¯t you let me talk about creating a group during lunch?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to be the group admin.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled evilly and said, ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re clearly worried that Dad doesn¡¯t have an ount. If he doesn¡¯t have one, he will be left out.¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°You¡¯ve already discovered this?¡± ¡°Of course. I practically live inside you. I know everything you¡¯re thinking,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said proudly and poked her husband¡¯s stomach with her finger. Ji Lingchen held her naughty little hand, pulled her into his arms, and said, ¡°Tell me, what am I thinking now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan fell into her husband¡¯s arms and said coquettishly, ¡°Hmm... You¡¯re thinking that I¡¯m such a cute and pretty daughter-inw. And you¡¯re realizing I¡¯m yours!¡± Ji Lingchenughed out loud. In the space that belonged to the two of them, he did not have to hide his thoughts at all. He praised, ¡°You¡¯re right, my wife is very pretty, indeed.¡± Fang Xiaonuan alsoughed. No wonder everyone yearned for sweet love. Even a simple sentence or a normal everyday action could make the two of them smile so happily. Fang Xiaonuan hooked her arms around her husband¡¯s neck and looked at his face. She met his affectionate gaze and was momentarily a little surprised. She muttered softly, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re so handsome.¡± Ji Lingchen looked intently into his wife¡¯s eyes and leaned over to kiss her. Fang Xiaonuan emptied her mind and allowed her husband to kiss her more passionately. Then, her small hands subconsciously searched her husband¡¯s body. At this moment, both of them were shocked. Ji Lingchen had not expected that his innocent and shy wife would actually take the initiative to touch him. Fang Xiaonuan was even more frightened. She let out an ¡°Ah¡± and quickly covered her little face. She was so shy that she refused to meet his eyes. Her cheeks and ears even turned red. ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower. You go to sleep first,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to respond at all. She could only cover her face and nod. Chapter 174 - Large Chicken Roll

After a while, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband was really not in the bedroom, so she removed her hands from her face. She jumped onto the bed and tossed and turns a few times excitedly. Then, she jumped off the bed and ran to the cloakroom to look at herself in the mirror. In the mirror, her face was tomato red. She patted her face and said to herself in the mirror, ¡°Are you stupid? Is there water in your brain? Why aren¡¯t you thinking straight?¡± She stood there stunned for a while. When she could no longer hear the sound of running water, she changed into her pajamas and quickly went back into bed. Just in time, Ji Lingchen came out wrapped in a towel. He looked around and his gaze finallynded on a small bump on the bed. He walked over and the small bump on the bed moved. He reminded her, ¡°Don¡¯t suffocate yourself. Don¡¯t put the nket over your head when you sleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you¡­¡± Ji Lingchen advised patiently, ¡°We¡¯re husband and wife. Just now¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not listening! I¡¯m not listening! I¡¯m not listening!¡± Fang Xiaonuan covered her ears and interrupted her husband loudly. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t say it. Poke your head out first. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have trouble breathing.¡± As he spoke, Ji Lingchen reached out to pull the nket away. Fang Xiaonuan quickly rolled over and wrapped herself tightly in the nket, like arge chicken roll. Ji Lingchen wondered why she was reacting so strongly. They were husband and wife. Would she have to hide from him for the rest of her life? He felt that she needed to develop thicker skin. If he allowed her to keep being so shy, when would he be able to exercise his rights as a husband? Just as Ji Lingchen feltpletely helpless, his phone rang. He walked to the coffee table and picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, this is Ji Lingchen.¡± ¡°Yes, no problem.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving now. How many women are there on your side?¡± ¡°Yes, okay. I¡¯ll be there in half an hour.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen hung up the phone. He looked at the bed again. His wife sat up after hearing the word, ¡°women¡± and she was now pouting. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked like she was interrogating a criminal. At this moment, she waspletely different from the shy woman she had been just now. She had no shame in this moment. She only knew that her husband was going to meet some women. Seeing that her husband did not answer, she continued to ask, ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. Where are you going?¡± Ji Lingchen still did not answer. He went to the cloakroom by himself. Fang Xiaonuan jumped off the bed and chased after him. Seeing this, Ji Lingchen pretended to take off the towel. Fang Xiaonuan immediately turned around and closed her eyes. She asked, ¡°Hubby, I already heard what you said on the phone. Don¡¯t go too far!¡± Ji Lingchen calmly took out some clothes from the closet and put them on. His head was filled with his wife¡¯s incessant nagging. ¡°You¡¯re married. As a married person, you have to keep yourself pure.¡± ¡°The two of us just started datingst night. If you dare to cheat on me, forget about breaking up. I¡¯ll divorce you immediately!¡± Ji Lingchen had already changed his clothes. He leisurely went to the wardrobe to pick a watch that matched his clothes and put it on. Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to turn her head. She continued to talk with her back facing her husband, ¡°A man has to staymitted. You can¡¯t just pick up any beautiful girl you want. No matter how beautiful they are, they are not yours. Only me, this little flower at home, is yours.¡± Ji Lingchen had already put on his socks. He stood up and walked behind his wife. He shrugged around her as he walked out of the cloakroom. Fang Xiaonuan was shocked. How could he put on his clothes so quickly? She quickly followed him out. ¡°Hubby, are you listening?¡± Ji Lingchen said calmly, ¡°Well, to sum it up, as your man, I should keep myself pure.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded with satisfaction and said, ¡°Yes, so now you tell me, are you going out to meet other women?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes.¡± While they were talking, Ji Lingchen had already walked to the door. He took a pair of brand-new leather shoes from the shoe cab and put them on. He picked up the car keys and went out. Before he stepped out, he said to his little wife, ¡°If you¡¯re bored in the afternoon, go and y with Xiaowen. If you¡¯re really restless, go shopping with your sister-inw. Don¡¯t wait for me. I¡¯ll be backte.¡± ¡°You¡­ Ji Lingchen, who¡¯s going to teach me how to drive if you leave!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you tomorrow. Someone is waiting for me. I¡¯ll be heading out now.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen left in his car. Fang Xiaonuan returned to her room feeling upset. Tears had welled up in her eyes. Ji Lingchen recalled his wife¡¯s jealous face as he drove andughed hically. If he did not make her jealous, she would not understand how he felt at all. So, he deliberately teased her, hoping that his little wife would ept him soon. Chapter 175 - Many Women

Fang Xiaonuan, who had returned to her room, could not help but watch her husband drive away. The moment the car disappeared from her sight, she could no longer hold it in and burst into tears. As she cried, she said aggrievedly, ¡°Ji Lingchen, you¡¯re such a scumbag.¡± She sobbed as she left the room and went to Ji Wen¡¯s room. She just pushed it open without knocking and let herself in. ¡°F*ck! Fang Xiaonuan, why didn¡¯t you f*cking knock!¡± Ji Wen was so shocked that he quickly got up and wrapped himself in the nket. Fang Xiaonuan did not answer. She just stood there and cried silently. This was the first time Ji Wen had seen Fang Xiaonuan in such a fragile state. He asked anxiously, ¡°Why are you crying? What happened?¡± ¡°Ji Wen, I¡­ There¡¯s something¡­ I need your help with something,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said finally. Hearing that, Ji Wen hurriedly wrapped himself in the nket and got off the bed. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. Tell me, I will definitely help you.¡± ¡°My¡­ My husband¡­ My husband just went out to meet another woman. He¡¯s meeting so many women.¡± She sobbed. ¡°Can you help me spy on him?¡± The more Fang Xiaonuan spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and the louder her crying became. Ji Wen asked doubtfully, ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯m a little confused. You said that my uncle just went out to meet some women. He¡¯s meeting more than one woman?¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tears fell like rain as she said, ¡°Yes! Men are all horrible.¡± She sobbed. ¡°How could he treat me like this?¡± ¡°But why did my uncle go out to meet other women?¡± Ji Wen was getting more and more confused. ¡°He wanted to be with me, but I didn¡¯t let him touch me. Then he received a phone call, and he asked how many women were there. Then, he just left!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, her tone full of anger and sadness. Ji Wen furrowed his brows in confusion. ording to Fang Xiaonuan, his uncle¡¯s desire to touch her could not be quenched, so he went out to have fun. However, his uncle was not like that and he never messed around with women. Moreover, his uncle doted on Fang Xiaonuan so much, so how could he abandon her to find another woman? ¡°It sounds like you may have misunderstood?¡± Ji Wen said. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I asked him, but he didn¡¯t answer me. I heard it clearly. He asked how many women were there. Then he said that he would be there right away.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Wait a minute. I¡¯ll call my uncle right away. Leave the room first. I¡¯ll change.¡± Fang Xiaonuan kept trying to figure it out. ¡°And when he left, he told me to y with you if I got bored. He usually doesn¡¯t want me to y with you because he¡¯s afraid that we¡¯ll develop a rtionship. But today, he doesn¡¯t seem to care about that at all.¡± Ji Wen thought about it and realized that it made sense. His uncle had misunderstood his friendship with Fang Xiaonuan before. He had thought that they were dating. ¡°Wait for me outside. I can¡¯t call him like this. Wait for me to get changed and I¡¯ll bring you to see him.¡± Fang Xiaonuan finally stopped crying and wiped her tears as she left Ji Wen¡¯s room. Ji Wen hurriedly put on his clothes and dialed Ji Lingchen¡¯s number. The call connected, but his uncle hung up. Ji Wen said, ¡°F*ck! He can¡¯t be having an affair, right?¡± He was a little confused. He dialed his uncle¡¯s number again, but this time the line was busy. Ji Wen realized that this was not normal, so he quickly went out. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, get changed. I¡¯ll bring you to thepany. We¡¯ll go look for him now.¡± Fang Xiaonuan went back to her room to get changed. She did not tidy up her hair or wipe her face. Three minutester, she went downstairs. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to dress up properly?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood. Let¡¯s go.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pulled Ji Wen¡¯s arm and they walked out. Old Master Ji was still sitting on the sofa, fiddling with his phone. He looked through all of his friends¡¯ moments with great interest. He liked them andmented on them one by one. He even downloaded quite a few emojis. As he was busy, he did not notice his grandson and daughter-inw leaving in such a hurry. Ji Wen drove to thepany building, only to find that Ji Lingchen was not there. The person on duty at the CEO¡¯s office said, ¡°Madam, President Ji didn¡¯te to the office today.¡± ¡°Then, where does Ji Lingchen usually go?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. The person on duty did not dare to keep an eye on the CEO¡¯s whereabouts. That might mean that she had ulterior motives, right? But when the CEO¡¯s wife asked, the person on duty could only say, ¡°Madam, you can ask the head secretary or Assistant Liu.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Give me your contact details. I¡¯ll ask them right away.¡± After getting the contact information, she let out a long sigh and dialed Secretary Song¡¯s number. The call quickly connected. Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to speak calmly. ¡°Hello, Secretary Song. I¡¯m Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife.¡± Secretary Song said, ¡°Madam?¡± Chapter 176 - Surprise

Chapter 176: Surprise

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Yes, Secretary Song, there¡¯s something I need your help with.¡± ¡°I want to n a small surprise for my husband, but I don¡¯t know where he usually goes. Can you tell me? We¡¯ll keep this a secret from my husband for the time being.¡± Secretary Song asked warily, ¡°Madam, may I ask why you want to give CEO Ji a surprise?¡± It was not a holiday, and it was not his birthday either. It was a little strange for her to be nning a surprise out of the blue. Plus, she had just bought him flowers. Fang Xiaonuan replied calmly, ¡°He gave me a bracelet worth thirty million yuan. Can¡¯t I prepare a surprise for him in exchange?¡± Secretary Song said, ¡°Madam, forgive me for being presumptuous. The bracelet was CEO Ji¡¯s apology gift to you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said unhappily, ¡°Secretary Song, you seem to know a lot. It seems that you often give my husband advice. Moreover, you really know my husband. You even know whether he wants a surprise or not!¡± Secretary Song could hear the anger in her words. After thinking for a moment, she named two ces. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°What else?¡± ¡°Only these two cese to mind.¡± Of course, Secretary Song had some reservations. Fang Xiaonuan controlled herself and said, ¡°Secretary Song, I¡¯m notpletely in the dark about where my husband goes.¡± ¡°The teahouse is where he invites his elders. He doesn¡¯t go there often.¡± ¡°Jade Water Deluxe is a ce for social gatherings. Should I really be going there to surprise him?¡± Most importantly, she did not believe that Secretary Song only knew about these two ces. She had been working alongside Ji Lingchen for so many years. Secretary Song asked again, ¡°Madam, if you¡¯d like more suggestions, please tell me why you want to surprise him. Otherwise, I won¡¯t tell you.¡± ¡°Please forgive me. As the CEO¡¯s head secretary, I have the obligation to keep the CEO¡¯s whereabouts a secret.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m pregnant with his child. Is this reason enough?¡± Ji Wen was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He looked at the calm-looking Fang Xiaonuan and his mind went nk. The secretary on duty was also shocked. She nced at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s t stomach. She was actually pregnant with CEO Ji¡¯s child! Goodness! Secretary Song heard that and realized that it would be a joyous surprise. She wanted to continue asking, but she was afraid that she had really offended Fang Xiaonuan. She had no choice but to tell her all the ces that the CEO frequented. After giving her the information, Secretary Song said, ¡°Congrattions, Madam.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s expression did not change as she replied, ¡°Thank you.¡± After hanging up the phone, she pulled Ji Wen into the CEO¡¯s private elevator. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you are really unscrupulous now. You just told everyone you¡¯re pregnant,¡± Ji Wen said helplessly. ¡°Ji Wen, if I catch Ji Lingchen having an affairter, I will castrate him on the spot!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily. She hadpletely lost her mind. Ji Wen wondered, ¡°Could you be that cruel?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen with a determined gaze and said, ¡°Xiaowen, take good care of your body. From now on, the great responsibility of bearing heirs for the Ji family may depend on you.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. The elevator stopped, and Fang Xiaonuan rushed out. Ji Wen hurriedly jogged after her. ¡°Hey, Xiaonuan, calm down. That¡¯s your husband, your dear husband!¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not listen to his advice at all. She opened the car door and got into the car. ¡°Hurry up and drive. Let¡¯s go to Oli Stadium first.¡± Half an hourter, Fang Xiaonuan did not see her husband at the stadium. She got into the car again and ordered Ji Wen, ¡°Go to Karen Club.¡± Another half an hour passed, but Ji Lingchen was still nowhere to be seen. Fang Xiaonuan had no intention of giving up. She continued to order Ji Wen around. ¡°Go to the Spirit Creek Vi.¡± Ji Wen looked at the unusually calm Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°My uncle hasn¡¯t been to the Spirit Creek Vi in a long time.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Drive. Now.¡± Ji Wen had no choice but to drive to the Spirit Creek Vi. This was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s first time visiting Ji Lingchen¡¯s own ¡°home¡±. His stuff was usually ck, so Fang Xiaonuan had thought that this house would be ck as well. However, she was surprised to discover that Spirit Creek Vi was an elegant white color. Therge expanse of greenery surrounded the vi, making it look fresh and unique. Fang Xiaonuan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. She headed straight for the vi¡¯s main entrance. If her husband was really here, not only would she castrate him, but she would also chop him up and feed him to the dogs! But when she really stood at the front door, she became nervous. What if Ji Lingchen was really here? She panicked. Her hand, which was about to reach the door, stopped in mid-air and trembled slightly. She was afraid. She was afraid to see something that she did not want to see. After calming herself down in front of the door, she finally knocked. Chapter 177 - Disinfection

¡°Who is it?¡± A woman¡¯s voice came from inside the vi. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s blood instantly rushed to her cheeks. Her eyes were red as she clenched her fists. She waited for the door to open. A middle-aged woman opened the door. Fang Xiaonuan suppressed her anger and asked, ¡°Where is Ji Lingchen?¡± The middle-aged woman said, ¡°He is not here. May I ask who you are?¡± Ji Wen quickly ran over and said, ¡°Auntie Wang, my uncle isn¡¯t here?¡± ¡°Hello, Young Master Ji Wen. He is not here. He has not been back for a long time. I am here to tidy up,¡± the middle-aged woman said. Ji Wen¡¯s heart pounded with relief. He looked at the girl beside him, who also looked relieved and said, ¡°Let me introduce you. Auntie, this is my uncle¡¯s wife, Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan, thisdy, Auntie Wang, is in charge of cleaning Spirit Creek Vi.¡± Auntie Wang looked at the girl in front of her and said with a smile, ¡°So, this is the madam. Sir has spoken about you. It¡¯s great to finally meet you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Auntie Wang, has anyone else, besides my husband,e here?¡± Auntie Wang shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since anyone has stayed here. Even Sir hasn¡¯te back.¡± At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s clenched fists finally loosened. After thanking Auntie Wang, she returned to the car. She seemed to have used up all her strength and copsed on the seat. She closed her eyes and said to Ji Wen, ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°There are two ces we haven¡¯t gone to yet. Do you not want to go?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m toozy.¡± She was not reallyzy. She did not dare to go. She was afraid that she would really find Ji Lingchen. When she heard the woman¡¯s voice in the vi just now, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling. If she went to the hotel, what would she do if she really found her husband? She was tired, so she gave up. Ji Wen did not say much and simply drove her back to the Ji family¡¯s residence. The two had just arrived home when they happened to bump into Feng Qi. ¡°Xiaonuan, I was just looking for you,¡± Feng Qi said with a smile when she saw Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan hung her head and asked weakly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong, sister-inw? Were you looking for me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing important. Lingchen was afraid that you would be bored, so he asked me to take you shopping. You can buy some new clothes. It¡¯s going to get cold soon.¡± Feng Qi was very concerned about Fang Xiaonuan. When she saw that Fang Xiaonuan was wearing a dress, she said, ¡°It¡¯s already autumn. Why are you still wearing a dress? Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you to buy some warmer clothes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said listlessly, ¡°Sister-inw, you can go on your own. I¡¯m going back to my room.¡± After saying that, she went upstairs without waiting for Feng Qi¡¯s reply. When she returned to her room, she locked the door from the inside. She copsed weakly on the bed and wept. After a while, the nket was wet. In the evening, Ji Lingchen did note back. Ji Wen forced Fang Xiaonuan toe down to the living room and watch TV with everyone. Feng Qi realized that something was wrong with Fang Xiaonuan in the afternoon, so she asked her son to bring her downstairs. She did not want her to be stuck in her room. However, Fang Xiaonuan was not paying attention to the TV at all. From time to time, she would look at the door. Ji Lingchen had already left work, but he was not back yet. ¡°Xiaowen,e and help me carry something.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly stood up and pulled Ji Wen into the utility room. She found an empty wooden table. Ji Wen asked curiously, ¡°Where do you want to put such a big table?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°I want to put it at the door to barricade it.¡± The two of them used the table to block the door of the house. Then, Fang Xiaonuan disappeared. When she reappeared, there was a spray bottle in her hand. Ji Wen said in confusion, ¡°This is¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan ignored him. After putting the spray away, she ran to the bathroom. When she came out, she was holding a bottle of toilet cleaner. After putting it away, she disappeared again. After a while, she brought out a bottle of bleach. Feng Qi was stunned. Ji Wen was stunned. Mayor Ji was on the sofa, adding his father as a friend on the chatting app. When he saw his sister-inw running back and forth, he watched her curiously. He did not know what had happened today. At 8:30 pm, Ji Lingchen returned home. Only then did everyone find out what Fang Xiaonuan was doing. When Ji Lingchen arrived at the porch, he realized that a table was blocking the door. Then, Fang Xiaonuan began to spray something wildly at his face. ¡°Xiaonuan, why are you spraying something containing alcohol at me?¡± Ji Lingchen smelled the scent and asked with a puzzled face. Fang Xiaonuan said coldly, ¡°Disinfection!¡± Chapter 178 - Who Knows?

Just when Ji Lingchen thought she was done, Fang Xiaonuan started to pour toilet cleaner onto Ji Lingchen¡¯s body. The pungent smell immediately reached Ji Lingchen¡¯s nose. He said unhappily, ¡°Xiaonuan, what are you doing!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Just now I was disinfecting, now I¡¯m cleaning!¡± However, it was not over yet. There was still a bottle of bleach on the table. Ji Wen and Feng Qi came back to their senses. Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, they quickly stopped Fang Xiaonuan and took the toilet cleaner away from her. They pulled Fang Xiaonuan in and took a few steps back. Feng Qi asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, calm down. Tell me what happened. Why are you so angry?¡± Ji Wen took the opportunity to pull the table away and let Ji Lingchen into the house. He did not forget to remind him in a low voice, ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re useless. My aunt has been looking for you all afternoon.¡± Ji Lingchen walked into the living room. Just as he was about to reprimand his wife, he suddenly froze. His wife was pursing her lips, looking upset. Her eyes were misty, like she was about to start crying at any moment. Seeing his wife like this, Ji Lingchen¡¯s anger disappeared without a trace. He could not reprimand her. ¡°Xiaonuan,e here,¡± Ji Lingchen said gently. Fang Xiaonuan ran out of Feng Qi¡¯s arms. She picked up the bleach and was about to pour it on Ji Lingchen. Fortunately, Ji Wen was quick enough to take the bleach away. ¡°Calm down. You can hurt people with this,¡± Ji Wen said. At this moment, Old Master Ji, who was now addicted to social media now, finally noticed what was happening. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Old Master Ji asked in confusion, but no one responded. Old Master Ji noticed that Fang Xiaonuan was crying, so he asked again, ¡°Who made Xiaonuan cry?¡± There was still no response. He began to observe his family and realized that they seemed to be fighting. He understood. His second son must have caused this! ¡°Ji Lingchen, what did you do to make Xiaonuan cry again?¡± ¡°Useless son. It¡¯s one thing for you to make me angry every day, but it was so hard to get you a wife! Now, you¡¯re still making me angry.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan is such a good wife, yet you¡¯re making her cry. I think you deserve a beating!¡± Old Master Ji scolded his son indiscriminately. Then, he got up and went around looking for his cane. He raised his cane and tried to hit his son. Mayor Ji, who was beside him, quickly stopped him and advised, ¡°Dad, wait a moment and listen to what Lingchen has to say.¡± ¡°Listen to him? For what? He made Xiaonuan cry, didn¡¯t he? How can I let him go!¡± After saying that, Old Master Ji raised his cane again. Mayor Ji pulled his cane away again. He was stronger than him, so Old Master Ji was forced to give in. Ji Wen was afraid that Fang Xiaonuan would rush up and hit his uncle. He threw the bleach aside and held onto Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand tightly, not letting her continue to lose her temper. Almost everyone in the family was beside Fang Xiaonuan, but there was no one beside Ji Lingchen. Everyone looked at the young couple, waiting for Ji Lingchen¡¯s exnation. Ji Lingchen walked toward his wife and pushed his nephew away. He took his wife¡¯s hand. Fang Xiaonuan shook her hand away forcefully and said angrily, ¡°You¡¯ve finished ying around outside, and now you want toe home?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Come back to the room with me. I can exin.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You already crafted the perfect lie to tell me, right?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯d lie to you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Who knows!¡± Feng Qi looked at the quarreling couple and asked, ¡°Lingchen, Xiaonuan, what exactly happened?¡± Fang Xiaonuan angrily pointed at Ji Lingchen. ¡°He cheated on me!¡± Old Master Ji stared at his silent son and was about to scold him when he suddenly realized something. He turned to ask Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Xiaonuan, could it be a misunderstanding? How could Lingchen cheat?¡± As his father, he did not believe that Ji Lingchen cheated. It was not because he was protecting him, but because he knew him too well. Feng Qi also looked at her brother-inw. She had been living with the Ji family for many years and had watched Ji Lingchen grow up. She had a certain understanding of him, so she said, ¡°Xiaonuan, maybe you misunderstood.¡± If a person like Ji Lingchen wanted to have a new rtionship, he would definitely ask for a divorce first and then only proceed with the rtionship. He would not have an affair. Mayor Ji also felt that it was impossible for his brother to cheat. Seeing that everyone did not believe her, Fang Xiaonuan told everyone what her husband had said in the afternoon. ¡°On top of that, Xiaowen and I went to thepany and went to all the ces he usually goes to. We couldn¡¯t find him at all.¡± Now, everyone looked at Ji Lingchen, waiting for his exnation. ording to Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Lingchen did look guilty. Chapter 179 - Checking His Phone

Then, the six members of the Ji family sat in the living room, determined to resolve the conflict. Ji Lingchen exined, ¡°In the afternoon, I received a call. The person on the line said that the equipment at the eastern development site had malfunctioned, causing radiation. At that time, there were a few women there, so I asked for the exact number of women present. After that, I rushed to the site. I spent the entire afternoon at the development site waiting for the results so that the experts could deal with it.¡± Of course, he did not say that he had deliberately mentioned women to make his wife jealous. Fang Xiaonuan sat opposite her husband and said, ¡°But you clearly implied that you were going to see another woman.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I said that on purpose to make you jealous.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Are you crazy!¡± Ji Lingchen had no choice but to take out his phone and hand it to his wife. ¡°You can check whether or not I¡¯ve talked to other women.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took the phone and began to check it. Then, she almost shouted, ¡°Ji Lingchen, you spoke to Lin Rou on the phone!¡± Her shrill voice gave Ji Lingchen a headache. He would not dare to provoke his wife on purpose in the future. The consequences were too severe, and he could not bear it. ¡°Xiaonuan, look again. She called me, but I didn¡¯t pick up,¡± Ji Lingchen exined. Fang Xiaonuan looked again. He had not picked up, but she saw another suspicious number. She shouted, ¡°But you answered this other call. This person also has the surname, ¡®Lin¡¯.¡± Ji Lingchen patiently exined again, ¡°That was one of the experts who fixed the equipment today. He has nothing to do with Lin Rou.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°There¡¯s an unknown number here.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°That number belongs to Lin Rou¡¯s father. He begged me to show mercy to Lin Qian and restore her academic status. I told him that my wife is now the principal and that they were begging the wrong person. Then I hung up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s anger had yet to dissipate even as she listened to her husband¡¯s exnation. Seeing that the two of them were at a stalemate, Old Master Ji took out his phone and dialed Mr. He¡¯s number. ¡°Hello, Mr. He. Yes, it¡¯s me. I have something to ask you. This afternoon, Lingchen, he¡­¡± No one could hear what the other person was saying. Old Master Ji heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Is that so? Lingchen has been at the scene all afternoon. What about the few female staff on site?¡± Old Master Ji added, ¡°Oh, they left long ago. Hmm, you guys did the right thing. Women¡¯s bodies are more sensitive. They definitely should have left the site and gone for a medical checkup.¡± Fang Xiaonuan listened carefully to Old Master Ji¡¯s side of the call and finally confirmed her husband¡¯s whereabouts. However, when she thought about how her husband was deliberately trying to provoke her, she wished she could go to him and hit him a few times. ¡°Mr. He, is your WeChat ount your phone number? Let¡¯s add each other on the app. We can contact each other there if there¡¯s a need,¡± said Old Master Ji. ¡°Ah? You didn¡¯t even have WeChat? You¡¯re too outdated!¡± ¡°Hurry up and get someone to download it for you. My daughter-inw registered a WeChat ount for me today. My family already has a group chat, so it¡¯s very convenient!¡± ¡°I¡¯m the group admin, so I have the most power. I can add whoever I want, and kick whoever I dislike out. Hurry up and download it too.¡± Old Master Ji kept showing off his position as the group admin to his old friend. He returned to his room after the he made the call. Mayor Ji held his wife¡¯s hand, indicating that it was time to give the couple some space. Ji Wen also left quietly. Now, only the two of them were left in the living room. Fang Xiaonuan was still sulking and did not say anything. Ji Lingchen took the initiative to walk over and hold his wife¡¯s hand. However, Fang Xiaonuan unceremoniously shook her husband¡¯s hand away. Although her husband did not cheat on her, he deliberately said those things to make her jealous. She had felt so terrible the entire afternoon. She had not settled the score with him yet! She went back to the bedroom in a huff, and her husband followed her. Ji Lingchen realized that his words had thoroughly angered his wife. Heforted her gently, ¡°Xiaonuan, I won¡¯t go to the office tomorrow. I¡¯ll teach you how to drive, okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°No need!¡± Ji Lingchen asked fawningly, ¡°Then, shall we go to Shuxiang Garden for dinner tomorrow?¡± ¡°No, you should bring your female friends with you. Eat as much as you want!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily. Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. That night, the two of them did not cuddle each other to sleep. Fang Xiaonuan stayed far away from her husband and did not go near him for the entire night. The next day, Ji Lingchen wanted to spend the whole day with his wife, but when he opened his eyes, she was no longer lying next to him. He went downstairs and saw his nephew sitting in the living room. He asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your aunt?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°She went to meet Liu Siyu. She wants toin about you.¡± ¡°Liu Siyu?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Chapter 180 - Back to My Parents’ House

Ji Wen nodded. When these two best friends encountered something they wanted toin about, they wouldin about it for two hours straight. Only when they hadined enough would they feel happy. Fang Xiaonuan usually relied on fighting to vent her emotions, but this time, the person she was arguing with was her husband. She could onlyin. In a coffee shop, the two best friends sat opposite each other. One ridiculed her husband, while the other ridiculed her brother. Liu Siyu said, ¡°My parents went to visit my grandparents. My brother and I are the only ones at home, and he¡¯s really out of control.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, I went to the bathroom and yed with my phone for five minutes, and he started to knock on the door frantically, asking me toe out as soon as possible.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Your brother is already pretty good. You really don¡¯t know how to be content.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°I know that too. But the more he treats me like this, the more I want to run away.¡± ¡°In the past, when my parents went out, he even took me out to eat. I¡¯ve been to all the restaurants near the police station. But now, he won¡¯t let me meet up with him there. Guess why?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Why can¡¯t you go?¡± Liu Siyu pped the table and said hatefully, ¡°It¡¯s because his prot¨¦g¨¦ has a crush on me!¡± Hearing that, Fang Xiaonuan perked up and forgot about the things she had said about her husband. She quickly asked, ¡°Liu Siyu, I remember you telling me that your brother¡¯s prot¨¦g¨¦ is a handsome young man. He¡¯s also a senior intern.¡± Liu Siyu nodded. ¡°Why do you think I¡¯m angry? He¡¯s even more handsome than Ji Wen. What good luck he must have with women. Yet, my brother¡¯s standing in the way.¡± ¡°You have a right to be angry. The person I saw at the Public Security Bureau should be that handsome young man. He¡¯s really handsome and great to look at. Among all the police officers, he¡¯s the best-looking. If I wasn¡¯t married, I would¡¯ve asked for his phone number no matter what!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said excitedly. Liu Siyu became even angrier. ¡°Guess what my brother did in the end? He actually went to threaten him and told him that if he had any more improper thoughts about me, he would transfer him to a remote post. Tell me, why am I so unlucky!¡± At her age, it was not easy to find someone she liked, but her brother stood in her way. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you secretly dating?¡± ¡°How can I secretly date? Hide it from my brother?¡± Liu Siyu said in disbelief. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Yes, can¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, Madam Ji, big sister, think about it carefully. What does my brother do?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a police officer! He can find out everything about me. Even if he doesn¡¯t investigate me, with his interrogation methods, I¡¯ll give him everything in less than three minutes,¡± Liu Siyu said in distress. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want the handsome boy, I¡¯ll take him.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Where are you taking him? Look at the wedding ring on your finger. You¡¯re married.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll use him to make my husband angry,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Liu Siyu could not bear to part with the handsome boy, so she said, ¡°Forget it, Xiaonuan. Just leave the handsome boy alone. He already offended my brother by liking me. If CEO Ji finds out that you like him, he¡¯s as good as dead!¡± ¡°Yeah, that makes sense.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had no choice but to give up this n. The two of them sat in the cafe until noon. Then, they went out for lunch. In the afternoon, they went shopping together and watched a movie. In the evening, the two of them went to the night market. After eating, drinking, and ying all day, Ji Lingchen called. ¡°Xiaonuan, it¡¯s time toe home.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife had left him alone for the whole day. He thought that his wife woulde home in the afternoon. In the end, she had not, and it was already past sundown. He had waited until it was dark, but he still saw no sign of his wife. Finally, he could not help but call her. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I won¡¯t be going home today. I want to go back to my parents¡¯ house.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Be good. Come home tonight. I¡¯ll drive you to your parents¡¯ house tomorrow.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. My best friend will apany me.¡± After saying that, she hung up the phone. Liu Siyu also received a call from her brother. ¡°I won¡¯t be going home today. I¡¯m going to stay at Xiaonuan¡¯s house.¡± Liu Siyan said unhappily, ¡°Xiaonuan is already married. It¡¯s not convenient for you to leave.¡± ¡°She¡¯s already married. Can¡¯t I stay with her? Either way, I won¡¯t be going home today.¡± After Liu Siyu said that, she also hung up the phone decisively. After that, the two of them looked at each other and happily held hands as they hailed a cab. They headed to the Fang family¡¯s house. After a while, noise was heard outside the Fang family¡¯s front door. Mrs. Fang saw that her daughter had returned with a bunch of shopping bags. ¡°Why are you back? Liu Siyu is here too,¡± Mrs. Fang said. Chapter 181 - Something Wrong with His Brain

Liu Siyu politely said hello, while Fang Xiaonuan announced loudly, ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯m staying here tonight. I want to chat with Liu Siyu for the whole night.¡± After saying that, she pulled Liu Siyu into her room. ¡°Siyu, pick out a set of pajamas yourself. There¡¯s a new toothbrush in the sink cab,¡± said Fang Xiaonuan. Liu Siyu knew her way around Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s room. She had been here many times. After the two washed up, they both put on their pajamas andid down. They started to talk. Liu Siyu smiled evilly and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, you and Ji Lingchen have been married for quite some time. How many times have you two had sex?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said, ¡°Not even once, but I feel like it¡¯s going to happen soon. Recently, he¡¯s been asking me to get pregnant, so I had to find an excuse. I said that we should fall in love for a little longer. We should get to know each other better.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯ve been sleeping on the same bed with him for so long, but you still haven¡¯t¡­¡± Liu Siyu trailed off in shock. Didn¡¯t everyone say that men were animals that thought with what was below their abdomens? Especially when they were lying together with a woman, their testosterone levels would skyrocket. Fang Xiaonuan actually knew that her husband sometimes had trouble controlling himself. When she mentioned this, she felt very fortunate. ¡°Yes, my husband is quite a gentleman. He knows that I¡¯m not ready yet and has always respected my wishes.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°That¡¯s very rare.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. Ji Lingchen was indeed a good husband. ¡°He listens to me all the time. It¡¯s just that he went too far this time. He actually said those things to anger me on purpose. Do you think there¡¯s something wrong with his brain?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, do you think it¡¯s possible that he used your jealousy to make you feel rmed? Maybe he felt that you might be afraid of losing him then, take the initiative to sacrifice your abstinence? That way, he would have achieved his goal?¡± Liu Siyu deduced. Hearing that, Fang Xiaonuan considered it. Then she said, ¡°Siyu, I think what you said makes sense.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t make sense. It makes sense. Let me tell you, this man has a character problem. Don¡¯t be impulsive. Don¡¯t let him seed so easily.¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked again, ¡°Siyu, you¡¯ve never been in a rtionship, let alone married. How do you know so much?¡± Liu Siyu replied, ¡°My brother taught me everything.¡± Liu Siyan often came across teenage boys and girls at work. Every time he met girls who fell in love and put their studies off, he would educate his sister when he returned home. As time passed, Liu Siyu got to know more and more simr cases. Fang Xiaonuan turned and said to Liu Siyu, ¡°Tell me about some interesting cases.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you about a rich man¡¯s case first¡­¡± That night, Liu Siyu told Fang Xiaonuan about a case. Fang Xiaonuan listened with interest at first, but her mind slowly drifted away. She began to miss her husband who was alone at home. She did not know what her husband would do if she had been at home? Did he miss her? ¡­ It waste at night in the Ji family¡¯s residence. Everyone had fallen asleep, and the room was quiet. Ji Lingchen could not fall asleep. He was not used to the absence of a warm and cuddly little person beside him. He seemed to have gotten used to the noise in the room when he was reading, the sound of the hair dryer, the sound of someone walking around in their slippers, and even the sound of a young woman interrupting him while he was reading. But now, the room was unusually quiet, and he was alone. For the first time, he was tired of reading, so he went to the study and worked untilte at night. ¡­ The next morning, before Ji Wen went to school, he looked for Ji Lingchen. ¡°Uncle, your wife asked me to bring the books for today¡¯s ss to school.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had sent him a message yesterday, asking him to bring her books for her. Ji Lingchen returned to his bedroom and found a few books on his wife¡¯s dressing table. He handed them to Ji Wen. ¡°Bring your aunt home after school today. Don¡¯t let her go back to her mother¡¯s house.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I¡¯ll try my best¡­ I really can¡¯t beat her.¡± Normally, when a boy said that he could not beat a girl, he would feel very ashamed. However, Ji Wen said it confidently, as if this was very normal. He said it like it was as normal as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Ji Lingchen did not make things too difficult for his nephew. After handing the books to him, he went to the office himself. When he arrived at the CEO¡¯s office, everyone saw him and said to him with smiles on their faces, ¡°Congrattions, CEO Ji.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. His wife had returned to her mother¡¯s house. What was the congrattions for? But soon he realized something was wrong. Even Secretary Song was congratting him. ¡°Why are you congratting me?¡± he asked doubtfully.

Secretary Song asked in surprise, ¡°Madam hasn¡¯t told you yet?¡± Could it be that Madam was nning to surprise him? Ji Lingchen asked in return, ¡°Tell me what?¡± Secretary Song saw that those in the CEO¡¯s office seemed to already know. Therefore, it was not a secret. She told Ji Lingchen the truth. ¡°Madam is pregnant.¡± ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Ji Lingchen cleared his throat in shock. After a while, he asked, ¡°Xiaonuan? Pregnant?¡± Secretary Song nodded. ¡°Yes, we found out the day before yesterday, Madam called me and asked me where you usually go. She said that she was pregnant and wanted to surprise you.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. His wife was ¡°pregnant¡± again. He had inexplicably be a ¡°father¡± again. His wife was really¡­ ¡°Leave. Don¡¯t keep spreading this information. She is not pregnant. She was just ying hide-and-seek with me,¡± Ji Lingchen exined. Secretary Song had a look of disbelief on her face, but she did not ask any more questions. She turned to leave. However, Ji Lingchen suddenly stopped her. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Secretary Song stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the CEO. ¡°CEO Ji, do you have any other instructions?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Secretary Song, tell me, how do you usually coax children when they¡¯re angry?¡± Secretary Song was speechless. Why was this CEO always making his wife angry? She asked, ¡°Madam is angry? What made her angry this time?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Jealousy.¡± Seeing Secretary Song¡¯s confused expression, he had no choice but to tell her how he had deliberately made his wife jealous, how he had vented his anger, and how she had note homest night. After hearing this, Secretary Song thought for a moment and said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°CEO Ji, if my husband treats me like this, I will beat him to death.¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. It was toote to be sorry for what he had done. ¡°So, how long will it take for them to stop being angry?¡± Ji Lingchen asked guiltily. Secretary Song said, ¡°It takes two hands to p. Knowing Madam¡¯s temper, I personally think that she¡¯ll remain angry for a little under two weeks.¡± Ji Lingchen was filled with regret once again. ¡°I understand. Dismissed.¡± He suddenly felt that asking Secretary Song had yielded him nothing. It was better for him to figure this out himself. ¡­ Meanwhile, Fang Xiaonuan had just finished her morning ss and was eating lunch in the canteen. At this moment, she felt that there were people around her spying on her. After listening carefully, she realized that they were discussing her marriage. ¡°Stinky husband, scumbag Ji Lingchen, so annoying!¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly eximed. Ji Wen turned around and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my uncle?¡± Fang Xiaonuan stabbed a piece of braised meat with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. ¡°It¡¯s fine if he¡¯s just good-looking, but why is he still so amazing?¡± Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, are you boasting about your husband?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ugh! I¡¯m mad at him!¡± However, the words that came out of her mouth inexplicably turned into praise. Fang Xiaonuan felt that she had been poisoned. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, your husband told me to bring you home today. Have you calmed down? If you¡¯re still angry, just tell me. I won¡¯t force you to go back,¡± Ji Wen said. In fact, he could not force Fang Xiaonuan to go home either. Otherwise, he would definitely get beaten up. Fang Xiaonuan shouted angrily, ¡°I¡¯m still angry! Why did he ask you to bring me back? Am I your wife or his wife? Why doesn¡¯t he bring me back himself!¡± Fang Xiaonuan started eating another bowl of rice in anger. Her stomach was about to burst. After returning to the ssroom, she looked at her round stomach and became even more depressed. ¡°My rtionship isn¡¯t going well, and my body is also against me!¡± Liu Siyu nced at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s belly and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, forget men. Food will always be there for you.¡± After saying that, she opened a packet of spicy snacks. She handed it to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Have some of these and cheer up. If one doesn¡¯t work, then eat two. If two don¡¯t work, then eat the whole packet!¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not resist the temptation. She reached out and took one. ¡°Xiaowen, I still want to eat Wang Wang Ice Cream.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Ji Wen, bring me more pudding.¡± The two best friends ordered Ji Wen around. This was the most fundamental reason why Ji Wen did not want to be in the same ss as them. If they did not steal his food, they would always make him run errands. Ji Wen said helplessly, ¡°What else do you want? Say it all.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°And a packet of potato chips, honey and butter vored.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°And a bag of jelly, orange vored.¡± Then, Ji Wen went to the supermarket. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly called his uncle to report the situation. ¡°Uncle, you¡¯d bettere and pick up your wife yourself.¡± Ji Wen repeated Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words.

Ji Lingchen asked in surprise, ¡°Did she really say that?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what she said.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yeah, I got it.¡± This time, he finally had thought of a way to coax his little wife. He had never been in a rtionship before, and his friends were all adults. Money could solve everything. No matter how big the issue was, using money to make a woman happy again was definitely the right thing to do. However, this method was useless against his little wife. Moreover, money was usually used to pacify lovers. He wanted to coax his wife. ¡­ After an entire day of sses, school was finally about to end. Liu Siyu was discussing with Fang Xiaonuan about where they should hang out when her brother arrived. Liu Siyan did not even have time to change out of his police uniform before he appeared at the ssroom door. Liu Siyu saw her brother at the ssroom door and pouted in annoyance. ¡°Xiaonuan, looks like I won¡¯t be able to apany you today.¡± Fang Xiaonuan also saw the person at the door and said helplessly, ¡°Okay, got it.¡± The bell rang and the teacher left the ssroom. Liu Siyan walked straight into the ssroom. Liu Siyu cupped her chin in her hand as she watched her brother approach. She tried ast-resort idea. ¡°Brother, I have an appointment with Xiaonuan today¡­¡± As she was speaking, Liu Siyan had already walked to his sister¡¯s desk. He was about to help his sister pack her bag when he suddenly realized that her desk was clean. Not even a pen was left behind. ¡°Are you listening to the Tomes of Arcane at school?¡± Liu Siyan asked. Liu Siyu quickly picked up Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s book and showed it to his brother. ¡°Didn¡¯t I go to Xiaonuan¡¯s ce yesterday? I didn¡¯t bring any books with me. We shared the book during ss. I took notes in her book. She was listening to Tomes of Arcane.¡± Fang Xiaonuanined, ¡°Liu Siyu, that¡¯s too much¡­¡± Liu Siyu said in a low voice, ¡°No one cares what you do. My brother is controlling of me.¡± ¡°What do you mean no one cares about me? Who is my husband then?¡± Fang Xiaonuan retorted. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Ah, your husband is just worrying about how to coax you. He cares about you, doesn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°Yes, what you said makes sense.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. At this moment, Liu Siyan picked up Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s book and examined it carefully. He even flipped through it. There was a picture in the book. The person in the picture was Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was defaced with a doodle of a pair of sses. On his forehead, there was the word ¡®king¡¯. A pig¡¯s nose was drawn onto his nose and his chin had a goatee. On his suit, there were the words ¡®bad guy¡¯. This notebook was indeed not his sister¡¯s. Fang Xiaonuan must have drawn it. Liu Siyan did not care about this and continued to flip through it. There was indeed his sister¡¯s handwriting in it, but there was not much to look at. The notes were very brief. Based on this, it could not be determined whether his sister had been paying attention to the lesson. ¡°Siyu, someone is looking for you,¡± shouted a ssmate. Everyone looked towards the door. There was a man standing outside. ¡°Senior?¡± Liu Siyu stood up and was about to speak to the man, but her brother pushed her back into the chair. The man at the door had already entered the ssroom. Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Senior, you¡¯re looking for me?¡± The man¡¯s expression was a little frivolous. He raised his eyebrows at Liu Siyu and said, ¡°Siyu, I¡¯ve asked your ssmates. You don¡¯t have any sses today. There¡¯s a new romance movie called ¡®You Are My World¡¯. How about it? Do you want to check it out with me?¡± Hearing this, Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan raised their eyebrows. Fang Xiaonuan smiled evilly and whispered, ¡°Someone is courting our Siyu.¡± ¡°But this senior looks so scummy,¡± said Ji Wen. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the man in the police uniform who had a gloomy expression. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. This senior will definitely disappear in three minutes.¡± After saying that, she took out her phone and started a three-minute timer. Liu Siyan¡¯s face was gloomy as he closed the book with force. Due to the nature of his work, he gave off a sense of confidence. Ordinary criminals were afraid of him. When the university student saw his expression, he was so nervous that he did not dare to look him in the eye. The senior asked with a trembling voice, ¡°Who are you?¡± Liu Siyan reached out and ced his hand on the man¡¯s shoulder. Then, he inconspicuously exerted some force and asked, ¡°What did you say? You want to go on a movie date with my sister?¡± The pain in his shoulder quickly spread throughout his body. However, in front of the girl he liked, he could not cry out in pain. He could only endure it. However, he could not resist the immense strength on his shoulder at all. Both of his legs began to tremble. The man could not hold on any longer. He begged, ¡°Bro, no, I won¡¯t go. I¡¯m not going to the movies.¡± ¡°What did you call me?¡± Liu Siyan became even angrier. He immediately pressed down on his shoulder with all his strength. He almost pushed the man to the ground. Chapter 184 - Monkey of Mount Emei

Fang Xiaonuan was not afraid when she saw this. On the contrary, she was envious of men¡¯s natural strength. When she was young, she lost to her master often because was weak. Every time her husband straddled her, she could not break free. This was the difference in the physiology of men and women. When Liu Siyu saw that her brother was using force on her senior, she silently sympathized with his senior for a minute. Then, she said, ¡°Senior, I¡¯m not going to the movies with you. I¡¯m going home to study with my brotherter.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen moved to stand next to each other. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Listen, what a perfunctory excuse.¡± The man was already in so much pain, that he could not bear it. Even if Liu Siyu did not refuse, he had long wanted to escape. Liu Siyu¡¯s brother was a police officer, and he was an ordinary student from another city. He could not afford to offend him. Moreover, his brother doted on his sister so much that he had already given up the idea of pursuing Liu Siyu. ¡°Okay, see you another day. See you another day.¡± After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Siyan with pleading eyes. At this moment, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said, ¡°Officer Liu, can I leave now?¡± Liu Siyan said unhappily, ¡°Get lost. Don¡¯t let me see you with my sister again.¡± The man was scared to death. As soon as the force on his shoulder disappeared, he ran away without looking back, as if there was a monster chasing him. ¡°How long has it been? Has it been three minutes?¡± Ji Wen asked. Fang Xiaonuan took out her phone and looked at it. ¡°Two minutes and fifty-six seconds.¡± Liu Siyu was taken away by her brother in a huff. After getting into the car, Liu Siyan asked, ¡°Which school was that man from? Which ss? What¡¯s his name?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°He¡¯s a senior in business school. He¡¯s in ss one. I think his name is Qian Tao.¡± Liu Siyan was about to drive away. However, when he heard this, he immediately turned off the engine and asked, ¡°How do you know so much about him? Are you already in a rtionship? Did you fall in love with him just because he chased after you? Liu Siyu, the living expenses your family gave you are not for dating!¡± Liu Siyu was speechless. She clenched her small fists and hit her brother¡¯s arm, feeling wronged. She roared, ¡°Brother, why do you always make malicious assumptions about me? What right do you have to say that I like him and that I¡¯ve fallen in love with him? Don¡¯t you know? I like your prot¨¦g¨¦!¡± ¡°He looks like a monkey from Mount Emei. What is there to like about him?¡± Liu Siyan said angrily. A while ago, his sister went to the police station to pick him up from work. He happened to be busy with a case and did not have time to apany her, so he sent his prot¨¦g¨¦ to entertain his sister. Turns out, the two of them saw eye to eye and exchanged contact information behind his back. They had been chatting for so long. When he found out, the two of them were already talking about their feelings. He was so angry that he did not even eat dinner. He rushed to his sister¡¯s bedroom and forced her to delete his prot¨¦g¨¦¡¯s contact details. The next day, when he arrived at the police station, he pulled his prot¨¦g¨¦ along for a good training session. He took his cell phone and deleted his sister¡¯s contact information as well. He even threatened, ¡°Seeing that you¡¯re a good cop who can benefit society, I¡¯ve shown you mercy. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be this simple.¡± His prot¨¦g¨¦, who was exhausted and lying on the ground, had almost been smashed to pieces. He could not get up at all. When faced with his master¡¯s threats, he could only nod and did not dare to refute them. From then on, the connection between the two of them was broken. Liu Siyu also went to the police station to try to find him, but her brother was always there. If she showed up there, her brother would immediately bring her home. ¡°So what if I like him?¡± Liu Siyu was very upset. Why was having feelings for someone so difficult? Liu Siyan¡¯s face was dark. He said angrily, ¡°Liu Siyu, if you dare to like Jiang Zhisheng, I will transfer him to the ravine.¡± ¡°Brother, how can you be more annoying than Xiaonuan¡¯s husband!¡± Liu Siyu shouted. ... Meanwhile, CEO Ji, who had been scolded, had also rushed to Jing University. He was here to pick up his little wife. He thought for a moment, parked the car in a hidden ce, and then got out of the car and walked into the campus. Fang Xiaonuan was currently stuck in the ssroom and did not want to leave. Shey on the table. She was bored and in a daze. Ji Lingchen had not even reached the ssroom door when he saw a little girl lying on the table. Just by looking at the back of her head, he could confirm that it was his little wife. Ji Wen saw his uncle standing at the door and quietly retreated to the side. Because the ss had just ended, there were still many students in the ssroom discussing the main points of the ss. When Ji Lingchen appeared, everyone was shocked. Some people directly opened their books andpared the pictures in the books to the man in the ssroom. It was actually the real Ji Lingchen in the flesh! Some students cried out in excitement. Many of them took out their phones and kept taking pictures of the man. Chapter 185 - The King of the Business World Appears

Ji Lingchen turned a blind eye to everything around him. His gaze waspletely focused on one person. In the lecture theatre, Ji Lingchen deliberately avoided his wife¡¯s gaze. He slowly walked to the middle of the lecture theatre and stopped. Fang Xiaonuan was facing the window, while Ji Lingchen was in her blind spot. Then, the figure of the man gradually appeared in her line of sight. Fang Xiaonuan jumped up from the table in shock and looked up at the man in front of her. She suspected that she was hallucinating. She reached out to rub her eyes, but when she opened them again, the man was still there. Then, the man bent down and sat beside her. ¡°Hubby¡­ Ah, no, Ji Lingchen, what are you doing here!¡± Fang Xiaonuan panicked and called him hubby immediately, but got angry again when she saw his face. She then called him by his full name. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up my wife from school.¡± Fang Xiaonuan crossed her arms and said, ¡°Who¡¯s your wife? Didn¡¯t you ask Ji Wen to¡­¡± ¡°Ugh, me? Uncle, Aunt, this has nothing to do with me. I don¡¯t know anything. I¡¯m going home first. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Ji Wen was afraid that Fang Xiaonuan would say something that implicated him, making his uncle angry at him again. So, he quickly made his escape. Fang Xiaonuan said unhappily, ¡°Why did Xiaowen run away? I didn¡¯t beat him up.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°He was afraid that I would beat him up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned and rolled her eyes at Ji Lingchen. In the ssroom, the king of the business world of Jing City, the man who stood at the top of the food chain in the business world, was smiling and staring at the young woman in front of him. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you want to go to thepany building with your husband?¡± Fang Xiaonuan snorted coldly. ¡°Hmph! No. You know so many women, go invite them instead.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Be good, don¡¯t be angry. I know I made a mistake. I won¡¯t do it again, okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No! You made me so angry. Do you think that all that anger will just disappear? Didn¡¯t you want to see me jealous? Here it is!¡± Ji Lingchen reached out and stroked his wife¡¯s back, afraid that she would anger him to death. The students in the ssroom were already recording this. Some had already posted it to the school¡¯s forum page. Once the video was posted, it got a huge buzz. ¡°Which ssroom are you in? I want to watch!¡± ¡°Please let us watch.¡± Thatment was seconded by a like. ¡­ Soon there were over 999 likes. The location of the ssroom Fang Xiaonuan and the others were in was quickly posted on the forum. After a while, the ssroom that was originally empty was instantly filled with people. Everyone was pretending to study, but their eyes and ears were focused on the couple in the middle of the ssroom. There were also some people who came inte. When they saw that there was no more space in the ssroom, they took the initiative to clean the ckboard which was already very clean. When more people came and they noticed that the ckboard had been cleaned, they picked up a broom instead. They started sweeping the floor. Not long after, someone even started mopping the floor. ¡­ Ji Lingchen noticed all of this. He patiently coaxed his little wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, can we go to the office to get angry? Our being here will affect everyone¡¯s studies.¡± When the nearby students heard this, their jaws almost dropped. Such a ttering tone¡­ Did the king of the business world really say that? Fang Xiaonuan also noticed that the crowd was growing. Even though they knew that the ssroom was full, there were still people trying toe in. There were also people peering from the doorway. She pouted angrily and picked up her handbag. Then, she reached out to pick up the books. Ji Lingchen took his wife¡¯s handbag and picked up her books. He took his wife¡¯s hand with his free hand. The two walked towards the door. Suddenly, a bold student opened his arms and blocked their way. She said, ¡°CEO Ji, can I have your autograph? I really admire you. I¡¯m a freshman. I got into economics because of you. I really like you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the little student who had no idea of her ce. She actually dared to say that she liked her husband in front of her! That pushed her over the edge and her temper exploded! ¡°Autograph? You¡¯re here to go to school, not to chase after celebrities!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with the air of a principal. The student heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words and was so scared that she was about to cry. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, gazed at his little kitten happily. ¡°Senior, I¡¯m just admiring your husband,¡± the girl exined in a low voice. Fang Xiaonuan said domineeringly, ¡°He is my husband. I admire him, and that is enough. It¡¯s not your ce. Don¡¯t you have a husband?¡± The girl said, ¡°No.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Do you have a boyfriend?¡± The girl shook her head. ¡°No.¡± Chapter 186 - Our School Supports Dating

Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°If you don¡¯t have a boyfriend, quickly find one. Don¡¯t worship my husband. You¡¯re already in university. If you don¡¯t quickly find a partner and fall in love, how are you going to survive four years in university? Our school supports students falling in love.¡± The girl was at a loss for words. In the end, Fang Xiaonuan scared her to tears. Ji Lingchen hugged his angry wife andforted her, ¡°Be good. Don¡¯t be jealous. I won¡¯t give her an autograph. In the future, I¡¯ll only give you autographs, okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said stubbornly, ¡°Bah! Who¡¯s jealous!¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You¡¯re not jealous. I¡¯m the one who¡¯s jealous. Let¡¯s go to the office,¡± Ji Lingchenforted her. In the end, he did not provide the autograph. Instead, he embraced his wife and they left. After returning to the car, he put his wife¡¯s books in the backseat and opened the passenger door for her. He even fastened her seatbelt before sitting in the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Be good. Let¡¯s go home today, okay?¡± Ji Lingchen leaned closer to his wife and asked gently. Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°I¡¯ll go home with you because I miss Dad. It doesn¡¯t mean that I forgive you. You can sleep in the study tonight.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°But there¡¯s no bed in the study.¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought of the big sofa that had been moved away. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask the butler to move my big sofa to the storage room? Later, when we get home, ask the butler to move it to the study for you.¡± Ji Lingchen patiently said, ¡°The bedroom is big. I can sleep on the floor.¡± Fang Xiaonuan narrowed her eyes and pretended to smile. Then, she said, ¡°In your dreams!¡± Although the bedroom was big, she would rather fill it with stuff than let her husband sleep there. Ji Lingchen sighed and stared at his wife¡¯s infuriating mouth. He kissed her. ¡°Oh, Ji Lingchen, we¡¯re fighting. Why are you kissing me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan struggled to say. Ji Lingchen was very engrossed in the kiss. He did not kiss her too hard. Instead, he gently brushed his wife¡¯s soft lips and sucked on them. Fang Xiaonuan pushed her husband with all her might, but her husband did not move at all. The man¡¯s strength was indeed remarkable. It was truly infuriating! Only when Ji Lingchen was satisfied did he finally let go of his wife. Just now, his wife had pushed him and hit him repeatedly. In his eyes, she was like a little kitten throwing a tantrum. She thrashed and scratched at him, looking extremely cute. ¡°Ji Lingchen, do you know anything about romance?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said angrily. Ji Lingchen replied righteously, ¡°No, I¡¯ve never fallen in love before.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. Don¡¯t you have an ex-girlfriend?¡± Ji Lingchen started the car and drove away from the school. ¡°If I had an ex-girlfriend, I wouldn¡¯t have married you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was irritated. She felt that her husband was implying that his ex-girlfriend would have made him happier. At the same time, she felt that he was looking down on her. Therefore, she took advantage of the time when the man was driving to take revenge. When they arrived at thepany, Ji Lingchen held his wife¡¯s hand and went directly to the CEO¡¯s private elevator. In the elevator, Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, I heard from others that I¡¯m going to be a ¡®father¡¯.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly recalled what she had said at thepany the day before yesterday and suddenly felt a little guilty. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, are you pregnant with a son or a daughter this time?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°I¡¯m pregnant with anger!¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife. She hung her head but was still fuming with anger. He said teasingly, ¡°I¡¯m really amazing. I can even start a fire in a kitten¡¯s belly!¡± The elevator doors opened, and everyone in the CEO¡¯s office looked at the couple. Fang Xiaonuan looked into everyone¡¯s eyes and thought of her husband¡¯s words just now. Could it be that everyone knew that she was pregnant? She panicked. She involuntarily pulled her husband¡¯s hand and hid behind him. She said guiltily, ¡°Hubby, you know everything?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes, I know everything.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was filled with regret. She had never thought that this information would spread so quickly. At that time, she had just blurted out a lie on a whim. ¡°Then, then what should I do? I¡¯m not actually pregnant,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said softly. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Inform them. After they get their anger off their chests, it¡¯ll be fine.¡± Fang Xiaonuan buried her head in her husband¡¯s back. ¡°Ugh, what should I say, hubby?¡± Seeing that the situation had slipped from her control, Fang Xiaonuan subconsciously acted coquettishly to her husband. ¡°Hubby, what should we do?¡± Ji Lingchen was all smiles as he held his wife¡¯s hand and entered the office. The employees in the CEO¡¯s office only took a nce at them before burying their heads in their work, as if they were not curious about them. Upon entering the office, Fang Xiaonuan felt even more annoyed. ¡°Hubby, I should go out and exin.¡± Ji Lingchen said indifferently, ¡°They won¡¯t believe you.¡± Chapter 187 - The Plan Succeeds

Fang Xiaonuan paced back and forth anxiously. She simply took the document her husband was holding and stopped him from working. ¡°Why don¡¯t I just confess and say that I lied before?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s useless.¡± As he spoke, he took the document from her and opened it. Fang Xiaonuan took the document again, closed it, and threw it to the side. Then, she cupped her husband¡¯s face with both hands and made him look at her. ¡°If this news continues to spread, it won¡¯t be good for everyone.¡± ¡°I do have a way to help you resolve this matter, but there¡¯s something you have to promise me. Promise you¡¯ll let me sleep in the bedroom tonight,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°Alright, I promise,¡± Fang Xiaonuan agreed readily. Ji Lingchen had seeded. He got up and left the office. He first went to the pantry to choose a drink for his wife. At this moment, Secretary Song came to the pantry. ¡°CEO Ji, did you manage tofort her?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes and no.¡± Actually, he had already thought of this n when they were in the elevator. That was why he had deliberately brought up the matter of him bing a ¡°father¡± in the elevator, in order to make his little wife feel guilty. As expected, when his wife walked out of the elevator and faced everyone¡¯s gazes, she immediately panicked. Once she panicked, she lost her focus. She became consumed with how to exin herself. After that, she naturally fell into his trap. He would not have to sleep in the study! ¡°Other than peach-vored drinks, what other vors are good?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t we let Madam drink a cup of green apple-vored soda?¡± Secretary Song suggested. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. If he let his kitten drink a refreshing drink, she mighte to her senses and realize his n. Secretary Song chose another grapefruit-vored soda and handed it to Ji Lingchen. ¡°CEO Ji, this one tastes pretty good too.¡± ¡°Yes, this will be fine.¡± Ji Lingchen took the drink and deliberately walked around outside. He took his time. Then, he returned to the office with two drinks. When Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband return, she quickly went up to him and asked, ¡°Hubby, how did it go? Have you exined everything clearly?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was calm. ¡°I¡¯ve exined everything clearly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan let out a long sigh of relief. The huge burden on her chest was finally lifted. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Ji Lingchen opened the drink and handed it to his wife. ¡°Wait for me on the sofa. I need to work for a while. Then, I¡¯ll bring you out for a meal.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took the drink, took a sip, and happily went to the sofa. Looking at his little wife¡¯s cute demeanor, Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips unconsciously curled up. As he perused his documents, he kept looking back at his wife. While Fang Xiaonuan was waiting for her husband, she wandered around the room out of boredom. She casually picked up the documents in the bookcase and looked at them. She realized that they were all in foreignnguages, and she could not understand a single word. She put them back in their original positions with a look of disgust. Then, she went to the window and looked out casually like a child waiting for school to end. After a while, she ran back to the sofa, sat down, and looked up at the ceiling. How boring! She had finished the first drink. She picked up the second bottle and twisted the cap, but after trying for a long time, she could not open it. She pouted and twisted it again with all her strength. Ji Lingchen happened to see this. He snickered. A momentter, he knocked on the table. Fang Xiaonuan heard the sound and looked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, hubby?¡± Ji Lingchen waved at her and opened his palm. Fang Xiaonuan walked over and handed the drink to her husband. Ji Lingchen easily opened the bottle and handed it back to his wife. Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband had opened the bottle so easily. She pouted and asked aggrievedly, ¡°Hubby, how many cows did you have to eat before you became so strong?¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue mischievously. By the time Ji Lingchen reacted, she had already skipped away with the drink in her hand. She returned to the sofa and yed with her phone for a while. Then, she was in a daze. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned to ask her husband, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m the CEO¡¯s wife, right?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Yes, is there a need to ask?¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and pursed her lips. She mumbled, ¡°That¡¯s not right. Since I¡¯m the CEO¡¯s wife, whether I¡¯m pregnant or not, how dare the employees gossip about me?¡± The employees of the CEO¡¯s office were always under her husband¡¯s nose. How dare they talk about the CEO¡¯s wife? ¡°Hubby, were you trying to trick me just now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, narrowing her eyes. Obviously, Ji Lingchen could note clean. He asked, ¡°How did I trick you?¡± Chapter 188 - Poisoning

Fang Xiaonuan frowned. Was she overthinking? If her husband had really fooled her, he would have said, ¡°No.¡± instead of ¡°How did I trick you?¡±. But she felt that something was wrong, so she continued to probe him. ¡°Then, how did you exin to them that I¡¯m not pregnant?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I didn¡¯t need to exin anything. I just told them the truth. They can only believe it.¡± The more she thought about it, the more Fang Xiaonuan felt that something was off. She felt as if she had fallen into a trap, but she still could not figure out how she had fallen into it. Ji Lingchen saw that his wife wasing to her senses. He quickly put down his work and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, a few days ago, I attended a social gathering and went to a nice restaurant. Do you want to try it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately stopped thinking and smacked her lips, indicating that she wanted to eat. Seeing this, Ji Lingchen immediately put down his work and held his wife¡¯s hand as they walked out. ¡°Hubby, can you get me another drink? I still want the peach-vored one. That one¡¯s delicious.¡± Ji Lingchen brought his wife to the pantry and picked up three bottles. ¡°Is this enough?¡± Fang Xiaonuan also took two bottles and mumbled softly, ¡°One bottleter, one bottle tomorrow, one for Ji Wen, and one for Siyu. Dad would like this too. I also want to bring one back for sister-inw¡­¡± From the looks of it, it was definitely not enough! She took another bottle. ¡°123456, now that¡¯s enough!¡± Ji Lingchen listened to his wife¡¯s mumbling and did notment. It turned out that she had included all her family and friends. He took the drinks she was holding and ced them back. ¡°Oh? Hubby, you¡¯re not letting me take any more drinks?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked aggrievedly. Ji Lingchen did not answer. Instead, he walked straight out of the pantry and instructed Secretary song, ¡°Send two boxes of these drinks to my house. Choose the peach-vored ones.¡± Secretary Song asked, ¡°CEO Ji, should I send it to the Ji family¡¯s mansion or Spirit Creek Vi?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°Send it to the Ji family¡¯s mansion.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan was so happy that she could not close her mouth. She wanted to praise her husband, but they were in the office, so she had to endure it! From now on, every time Fang Xiaonuan came to the office, she would pick a drink. If she found one she liked, she would put it on her husband¡¯s table, and her husband would have it delivered to the mansion. Apart from Fang Xiaonuan, Old Master Ji also felt very happy about this. He felt that Xiaonuan was really great. Whatever she picked out was always delicious, and they were never the same. He would often give some to his friends. ¡°Mr. Zhou,e, try this drink. My daughter-inw rmended it to me. It tastes really good!¡± ¡°Xiaoqian, have you tried the drink that my friends posted? It tastes amazing!¡± ¡°Mr. Wang,e to my house for a while. I have a very delicious drink at my house. Pleasee try it.¡± ¡­ Of course, this all happenedter. Before that, the cold war between Fang Xiaonuan and her husband was not over yet. During dinner, Fang Xiaonuan felt that her husband¡¯s performance was not bad, so she temporarily behaved herself. The problem was she could not pretend to be angry. Her expressions were all spontaneous. When she was angry, her anger was explosive, and she could practically burn the whole house down. However, after yesterday¡¯s carefree days, today¡¯s blow up, and her husband¡¯s doting, she was actually not that angry anymore. Fang Xiaonuan felt that she was very well-behaved. She had such a good temperment, and she was also so nice. Her character was even better. Ji Lingchen was definitely lucky to have married her. After dinner, Fang Xiaonuan returned home, feeling a little narcissistic. Old Master Ji warmly weed his daughter-inw home. He was d that she had calmed down. ¡°Xiaonuan, you went out to have fun yesterday. Why didn¡¯t you ask me toe with you? I really want to go to the night market with you,¡± Old Master Ji said. Fang Xiaonuan said honestly, ¡°Dad, I was angry yesterday, wasn¡¯t I? If I brought you along, I would have to take care of you. I wouldn¡¯t be able to vent my anger.¡± Old Master Ji asked, ¡°Have you calmed down now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°There¡¯s still a little bit of anger left.¡± Old Master Ji rolled his eyes at his second son, his eyes filled with disdain. He always felt that his second son was not worthy of such a good wife as Xiaonuan. Hearing this, Ji Lingchen simply stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯m going back to my room.¡± At this moment, Feng Qi happened toe down the stairs. When she saw the couple, she asked, ¡°Is Xiaonuan still angry?¡± Ji Lingchen nodded helplessly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m still thinking of ways tofort her.¡± Yesterday, Fang Xiaonuan had been out the whole day. Everyone felt like it had been a long time since theyst saw her. They were asking her a lot of questions now. She sat in the middle, responding to everyone. Ji Wen also came out. When he saw the treasured daughter-inw of the family, he shook his head. He felt that Fang Xiaonuan must have poisoned everyone in the family. It was the kind of poison that could not be cured.

Feng Qi did not have a daughter to begin with, and they were very different. She often treated her sister-inw as a stepdaughter. She would tell Fang Xiaonuan some things that she could not tell her husband. Ever since their rtionship became better, she rarely went out with her friends. She only went once in a long time, and even if she did, her friends would always want her to bring Fang Xiaonuan along. Feng Qi had been living in a wealthy family for many years. She could easily tell what her so-called friends were thinking. Her husband was the mayor of Jing City, and many people wanted to get along well with her to gain personal benefits. The purpose of inviting Fang Xiaonuan was even more obvious. They were worried that they had no way to curry favor with Ji Lingchen. Previously, Fang Xiaonuan had be the focus of attention of the wealthy families in Jing city. Many people had secretly investigated her, and many people wanted to get to know Fang Xiaonuan through various opportunities. There were even some people who said they wanted to visit her, but Feng Qi turned them all down. Fang Xiaonuan had no idea about this. She had no idea what could have happened, and she was still living normally. One time, when Feng Qi had sessfully turned down another eager person on behalf of her sister-inw, Mayor Ji asked, ¡°Doesn¡¯t helping Xiaonuan like this make you tired?¡± Feng Qi replied, ¡°I¡¯m tired, but Xiaonuan is still young. She definitely doesn¡¯t know how to deal with those people who have ulterior motives. If she gets upset, she might just react. That would only make things worse. Our mother left early. If I, as her sister-inw, don¡¯t help her, who else can help her?¡± Feng Qi did not want to let these adultplications disturb Xiaonuan¡¯s peaceful life. Mayor Ji said, ¡°Xiaonuan has to grow up eventually. She will have a lot of social engagements in the future if she stays with Ji Lingchen.¡± ¡°When that timees, your brother will handle it.¡± Feng Qi took on the role of a mother and worried. ¡°Actually, I also want Xiaonuan to see the true face of society as soon as possible.¡± Mayor Ji was a little surprised. He looked at his wife and waited for her to continue. Feng Qi said, ¡°She was protected by her parents since she was young. She looked at everything through rose-colored sses. If something didn¡¯t go her way, she would use aggression to solve it. She always lived as she pleased, so she had a bad temper and a vicious mouth. In fact, she does not have enough experience. ¡°There are all kinds of people in society. People have different intentions. So many people wear masks and live their lives that way. Xiaonuan has an innocent personality. What if she is used by others?¡± Feng Qi recalled how she was once used by Lin Rou. She had always been traumatized by this matter. It was too easy to be deceived through blind trust in others. ¡°So, I hope that Xiaonuan can learn how to understand people. She needs to distinguish between good and evil, loyal and devious. Then, she can still be as kind as she is. I¡¯d like her to understand the world, without being as worldly as most. She needs to be tactful, but still maintain her naivety.¡± Mayor Ji smiled and said, ¡°You are such a busybody. How do you know that Fang Xiaonuan doesn¡¯t already know these things?¡± Feng Qi felt that Fang Xiaonuan was too naive, but Mayor Ji did not think so. He felt that Fang Xiaonuan was only showing her most sincere self at home. But to outsiders, she would not be like this. She was so smart and entric. How could she be deceived by others or used? ¡­ When it came to Old Master Ji, he did not think much about Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s personality. He only cared about night market snacks. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, would never think about these things. He knew that his little wife¡¯s personality was vtile. One second, she would sweetly call him ¡°Hubby¡±, and in the next second, she would be so angry that she would call him by his full name. She was such a wonderful girl. You could never guess what was going on in her little head. Back in the bedroom, Ji Lingcheny on the bed and started reading. The familiar sound of a hairdryer came from the bathroom again, and his wife¡¯s voice rang in his ears. She talked about how angry she was, and then she brought up the interesting things that had happened today. ¡°Honey, ever since Siyu became the school belle, there have been a lot of people chasing after her. You know, today, a senior chased her to ss and invited her out on a movie date!¡± ¡°But that senior wasn¡¯t very lucky. He ran into Siyu¡¯s brother. No one could take her anywhere while her brother was there.¡± As he listened to his wife, Ji Lingchen finally rxed. ¡°So, that person asked Siyu out in the end?¡± Fang Xiaonuan finished applying her skincare products, took off her shoes, and jumped onto the bed. She wriggled to the headboard like a big bug. Ji Lingchen lifted the nket and she crawled under it. Lying next to her husband, she continued, ¡°Of course not. Her brother is so strict. That senior was scared to death. How could he still be brave enough to ask her out?¡± Under the nket, Ji Lingchen suddenly felt something cold touch his leg. Her small foot had touched him. He turned his head to look at his little wife beside him. Chapter 190 - Dancing on an Ancestral Grave

Fang Xiaonuan quickly apologized, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m sorry. I identally kicked you.¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything, but he suddenly stretched his leg toward his wife, deliberately touching her. ¡°Huh?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband in confusion. Ji Lingchen frowned and asked, ¡°Why are your feet so cold?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. Was her husband warming her feet with his legs? Ji Lingchen put the book on the bedside table and reached out to grab his wife¡¯s hand. Her hand was fine, but her feet were cold. He had heard that those with cold skin would need to visit a traditional Chinese doctor. His wife had just taken a hot bath and yet, her feet were so cold. Fortunately, the temperature of her hands was normal. Otherwise, she would need to visit the doctor tomorrow. After warming his wife¡¯s feet for a while, the temperature of her feet finally returned to normal. Ji Lingchen retracted his legs and picked up his book to start reading again. Fang Xiaonuan leaned in closer. ¡°Hubby, you read books every day. What books do you read?¡± She nced at it and realized that she couldn¡¯t read the words. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Journey to the West.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Then where is Sun Wukong?¡± She felt that her husband was being perfunctory. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°He¡¯s in the books.¡± Fang Xiaonuan leaned closer again. Sun Wukong¡¯s shadow was nowhere to be seen. ¡°Trante for me if you can.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I can trante for you, but how will you reward me?¡± After saying that, his gaze fell on his little wife¡¯s lips. ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve received any rewards today.¡± ¡°Yes, you did. Did you forget that you kissed me in the car? I still remember that. I clearly didn¡¯t agree to it!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said excitedly. But even so, Ji Lingchen still kissed her. Fang Xiaonuan failed to struggle and could only give up. In the end, she did not get to hear the story, and he had taken advantage of her. She was so angry that she scolded him a few times. That night, with his beautiful wife in his arms, a certain someone did not even step into the study. After Fang Xiaonuan fell asleep, Ji Lingchen looked at her lovely sleeping face and secretly kissed her on the lips. He was not done kissing her, so he kissed her on the neck. He wanted to secretly kiss her like this, but he had been a bit too forceful. He identally left a hickey on her neck. He looked at the evidence of his actions on his wife¡¯s delicate neck and thought, ¡®Oh no, this will cause a scene tomorrow.¡¯ Sure enough, early the next morning, Fang Xiaonuan saw the obvious marks on her neck while she was washing up. At first, she thought it was a mosquito bite, but when she saw her husband¡¯s evasive gaze, she came to a sudden realization. She picked up the pillow and threw it at her husband. ¡°You stinky hooligan!¡± ¡­ At the dining table, Ji Wen asked in confusion, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, what¡¯s wrong with you? If you wear high-cored clothes today, you¡¯ll die from the heat.¡± Fang Xiaonuan gritted her teeth and threatened, ¡°Do you want to die?¡± Ji Wen was at a loss for words. Then, he said, ¡°Why are you being so arrogant? This is my house!¡± ¡°This is also your aunt¡¯s house,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Ji Wen obediently shut his mouth. Indeed, they were the same. ¡°You shut your mouth too!¡± Fang Xiaonuan roared angrily. Ji Lingchen also obediently shut his mouth. He was originally at the top of the food chain of the Ji family. After marrying this girl, his status in the family sank a little lower. Ji Wen was stunned. His unrivaled uncle had actually been subdued by his wife? When he looked at Fang Xiaonuan again, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. She did not attack him, did she? After eating, Ji Lingchen originally wanted to send his little wife to school, but he was mercilessly rejected. Fang Xiaonuan picked up her bag, took her book, and sat in the passenger seat of Ji Wen¡¯s car. ¡°Xiaonuan, did you fight with my uncle?¡± Ji Wen asked curiously. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Yes, I did.¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t he injured?¡± Ji Wen continued to ask. He had seen Fang Xiaonuan fight too many times. She used both her fists and legs. He would not bepletely uninjured. Fang Xiaonuan wore sunsses and elegantly opened the hood. She basked in the sunlight and said proudly, ¡°It¡¯s all internal injuries!¡± Ji Wen was speechless. He gave Fang Xiaonuan a thumbs up. External injuries depended on fighting, internal injuries depended on qi, and she was able to inflict both. She was indeed an expert! When they arrived at school, Liu Siyu was in low spirits. When she saw her good friends, she forced herself to stay awake. She greeted them and then went back to her drowsy state. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen looked at each other. Ji Wen quickly asked, ¡°Siyu, did you go out to rob a gravest night?¡± Fang Xiaonuan echoed, ¡°Tell me, whose grave did you rob?¡± Liu Siyu, who was lying on the table, closed her eyes and said, ¡°I danced on the graves of the Liu family ancestors!¡± ¡°Yo, Siyu is really amazing. She would dance on her own ancestors¡¯ grave!¡± Ji Wen said while pping. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Which generation of ancestors did you dance on?¡± Chapter 191 - Silver Field

Liu Siyu said, ¡°Eighteen generations of them!¡± After saying that, she became energetic and sat up to tell her two good friends about what happened yesterday. ¡°My brother is definitely a Virgo!¡± Liu Siyu said. Ji Wen realized that he was a Virgo, and he was a little unhappy to hear this. ¡°What did the Virgo do to offend you?¡± Liu Siyu clenched her fists. ¡°Do you still remember the senior who invited me on a movie date yesterday?¡± The two friends nodded at the same time. ¡°The one who ran away in less than three minutes.¡± Liu Siyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. ¡°My brother spent two hours investigating his backgroundst night. When did he get a ce to stay? Who was he with? What did he say to pick up girls at bars? He even found out that that boy once had four partners at once!¡± The two people beside her were speechless, but there was a glint of curiosity in their eyes! Liu Siyu kept on ridiculing her brother. ¡°He has such a nice voice, but he says he doesn¡¯t even care about people and dogs. He was clearly a Prince Charming in the police academy!¡± ¡°My parents all support me dating, but my brother, the weirdo, doesn¡¯t agree. Last night, he went even further and actually asked me to stop hanging out with the two of you.¡± Hearing this, the other two rolled up their sleeves. ¡°Siyu, your brother is going a little overboard. What time does he get off work? I want to fight with him!¡± He dared to question their sisterhood. Even though he was their best friend¡¯s brother, they could not allow this. He deserved a beating. Liu Siyu said, ¡°It¡¯s not that my brother doesn¡¯t think Xiaonuan is good. He said that you already have a family. He was afraid that I would be envious and blindly want to start a family. Xiaowen is a boy. He¡¯s worried that it¡¯s not safe for me to be with him.¡± Ji Wen said helplessly, ¡°But you don¡¯t even see me as a boy!¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°How would my brother know? Sost night, before I went to bed, I greeted all eighteen generations of our Liu family. I was so angry that I cursed them!¡± ¡°Who asked them to give birth to an unfilial descendant like my brother? He pokes around in the private matters of others so casually. He¡¯s so controlling of me, his own sister.¡± Hearing these words, Fang Xiaonuan thought of something. ¡°Xiaowen, actually, I also danced on the Ji family¡¯s ancestral grave this morning.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. What did their ancestors do to provoke her? Liu Siyu also wanted to hear what her friend had experienced. ¡°Oh right, Xiaonuan, did you reconcile with your husband after you went homest night?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°We were about to make up, but now that¡¯s over!¡± It was her husband¡¯s fault for not being able to control his mouth. He had secretly kissed her while she was sleeping and even left a hickey! It was on her neck today. Would those marks appear all over her body someday? Liu Siyu and Ji Wen looked at her curiously. Fang Xiaonuan could only say tactfully, ¡°Do you see the turtleneck I¡¯m wearing?¡± The two of them were silent. Although the two of them had been single forever, they immediately understood what Fang Xiaonuan meant. ¡°Then you two have already¡­?¡±Liu Siyu was at a loss for words. She had just warned her friend not to give in to him so easily the day before, and only a day had passed. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No¡­ anyway, you have to remember that men are all smelly hooligans. No good man exists, except for Ji Wen.¡± Ji Wen was just about to be moved by these words when Liu Siyu added, ¡°Well, Ji Wen is like a sister. He¡¯s not a man!¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. The two girls were not happy that morning. It was not until the afternoon that they became excited because they heard a piece of good news. Ji Wen was also very happy. The three of them would usually disagree over some small matters. However, there was one thing that they had surprisingly unanimous opinions on, and that was the matter regarding Silver Field. The so-called Silver Field was actually an underground casino in Jing City. It was also an underground boxing club. All the gambling games here were rted to boxing. Few people in the city knew about it, and no one knew much about the organizer of the Silver Field. Many rich people woulde here to watch the matches. If they saw someone they liked on the field, they might directly hire them as bodyguards after the match. Of course, it also depended on the other party¡¯s wishes. The participants here would wear masks or paint. Basically, even their own mothers would not be able to recognize them. They did this so that they could keep their identities a secret and avoid unnecessary trouble. There was more than one Silver Field match. From level one to level nine, there were a total of nine rounds. Level one was the entry-level round. Everyone could register. Level two was the white level. Only those who had a white card could participate. The number of participants was 508. Level three was the yellow level. One needed to have a yellow card. The number of participants was 254. And so on. Level four was the red card. There were 127 participants. Chapter 192 - A Card for 200,000 Yuan

Chapter 192: A Card for 200,000 Yuan

The first four levels were not difficult because many people could pass the test by luck. The opponent would be matched immediately. It was possible for one person to face ten opponents. Sometimes, there might be no opponents at all. Thest time Fang Xiaonuan participated, the heavens seemed to want to test her level. Every round, she was matched with an opponent. In the entry level, she defeated three opponents before she could get a white card. In the white level, she matched up with six more people. When she rose to the yellow level, it was even more outrageous. She had matched up with nine opponents directly. She went all out to defeat all nine of them before she advanced. After that match, the name ¡°Nan Nan¡± became popr. Fang Xiaonuan had originally named herself ¡°Nuannuan¡±, but the people watching the match identally called her ¡°Nan Nan¡±. She was toozy to correct them. After all, it was just a name. After that advancement, she had almost broken her hand and was lying prone. She could not move at all. Liu Siyu was so scared that she was crying, while Ji Wen carried Fang Xiaonuan to the hospital. Since the establishment of Silver Field, the highest record was one person defeating ten people. That record belonged to a man. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s victory over nine opponents was the greatest achievement in history for female fighters. After thepetition ended, many people were secretly investigating ¡°Nan Nan¡±, but they found nothing. For a whole year, it was as if she had disappeared. In the end, those people could only give up on the investigation. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu naturally knew the reason. ¡°Nan Nan¡± had been preparing for the college entrance exam. She was only free after the exam. Compared to Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Wen had much better luck. When he participated in the entry level, he only matched up with one opponent. He gave the opponent 20,000 yuan and got a white card. When he reached the white level, Fang Xiaonuan fought against six people on stage. Ji Wen watched the battle below the stage and cheered. He did not match up with his opponent at all. After watching a match below the stage, he sessfully advanced to the yellow level. When he reached the yellow level, it was even worse. He only matched up with one opponent. Although the opponent looked tall and strong, before he could fight, he suddenly had a kidney stone attack. He rolled on the ground in pain and was finally sent to the hospital. Because of this, Ji Wen also received a red card. That was not all. Liu Siyu also received a red card. She did not have heaven-defying luck, but she had enough money. ¡°White card, I¡¯ll give you some money! Yellow card, I¡¯ll give you some money! Blue card, I¡¯ll give you a lot of money!¡± During that period of time, when Liu Siyan saw tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands disappear from his bank ount. He thought that his sister was into drugs. He was so scared that he brought his sister to the hospital for a blood test. After the results came out, although his sister did not take drugs, he was even more afraid. He asked, ¡°Why are you spending money?¡± It was not that he was distressed about the money. It was just that his sister had never been so extravagant. Moreover, she was not expending the money on bags or jewelry. He was worried that his sister would be swindled or something. In the beginning, Liu Siyu refused to tell the truth. Liu Siyan had checked all of her social media ounts and did not find anything odd. He could only continue to question his sister. In the end, Liu Siyu could only tell her brother obediently, ¡°Brother, I bought the card.¡± Liu Siyan asked, ¡°What card costs 300,000 yuan?¡± Under her brother¡¯s interrogation, Liu Siyu could only tell the truth about the casino and gambling. ¡°Brother, you can¡¯t go and arrest them. That¡¯s legal. They have business qualifications,¡± Liu Siyu quibbled. Liu Siyan said, ¡°Are you spouting nonsense again?¡± Liu Siyu did not dare to say another word. In the end, Liu Siyan could only give up. The money was gone, so there was nothing he could do about it. But fortunately, his sister was not stupid. She knew how to spend money and did not really fight. This money was just for her friend to spend for fun. Therefore, the three of them all had blue cards and entered the level five arena. Only 62 participants were left in this match. This was thest match before entering the advanced stage. At this stage, luck and money were not enough. The opponents here were matched by theputer based on thebat strength of the previous four matches. Therefore, Ji Wen, who had lost twice, and Liu Siyu, who had won by spending money, were sessfully matched. Seeing the match results, Fang Xiaonuan said with relief, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. This way, I don¡¯t have to worry about you guys getting hurt.¡± They could just fight casually, and then one of them would just have to admit defeat. In the end, the two of them used ¡°Rock Paper Scissors¡± to determine the winner and loser on the stage, which drew a lot of attention. With two out of three wins, Liu Siyu won and finally got the advancement card. Someone in the audience was unconvinced and reported that the two of them cheated. ¡°The winner must be determined by a fistfight, not a child¡¯s game!¡± However, Liu Siyu retorted righteously, ¡°Isn¡¯t Rock Paper Scissors a game that uses fists? We were using ¡®fists¡¯ topete. How can you say that we cheated?¡± However, to them, Liu Siyu was being unreasonable. Someone actually jumped onto the stage and wanted to challenge her in front of everyone. At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan also went on stage. ¡°There¡¯s no problem with the challenge. I¡¯ll go on in her ce.¡± Chapter 193 - Participating Once Again

Chapter 193: Participating Once Again

Seeing the famous ¡°Nan Nan¡± enter the arena, these people could only resentfully leave the arena. They did not want to ask for trouble. They had no chance of winning at all! Only those who had blue cards or above were qualified to watch the battle between the fifth-level arena and the advanced-level arena. Everyone had to use all their skills to fight in the middle-and high-level arenas. The low-level yers were qualified to challenge the high-level yers. If the challenge was sessful, they would upy that yer¡¯s position, and the loser would change their position with the opponent. For example, Ji Wen was now a blue card yer. He could watch the middle and high stages, but he was not qualified to participate in thepetition. Liu Siyu was now a red card yer. She had won the match against Ji Wen, so she was now a yer in the fifth stage. Her position was extremely high. If Ji Wen challenged Liu Siyu, Liu Siyu would agree to the match. If Ji Wen won, he would be able to snatch the red card from Liu Siyu¡¯s hand. Liu Siyu could only take the blue card and level up again. If he failed, Ji Wen would fall back into the entry stage and need to level up again step by step. This was also a punishment for those who took the initiative to challenge another yer and failed. Fang Xiaonuan was already a contestant in the advanced stage. The third ce was the silver stage, and it was a battle between silver card holders. Fang Xiaonuan was a silver card holder. She had gone through five years of fighting among thousands of contestants to carve out her own path. She had gone on the journey and taken it step by step. Now she had a silver card. There were only 15 silver card holders. There were very few silver card holders in the silver stage. Anyone who saw a silver card holder would have to be carefully served. Everyone would automatically make way for a silver card holder. This was because it was not easy to get a silver card. Anyone who had this silver card would be treated as a special talent no matter where they went. Even if they were to be bodyguards, bosses who were worth tens of billions would not be able to afford such people. However, Fang Xiaonuan was able to reach this level. She was able to get to where she was today not because of luck, but because of her own abilities. Although she was born into a wealthy family, she had suffered a lot in order to pursue this path. In fact, she had suffered a lot. She had been beaten until her bones hurt. That was how she got to where she was today. Everyone said that she was powerful and lucky, but no one knew that she had suffered a lot. She had never told anyone else about it either. She kept it all bottled up. She did not want to speak of these hardships to her loved ones because these people would feel sorry for her. She also did not want to share these hardships with others other than her loved ones because she did not feel like that was necessary. Every time she came to the casino, her mood was heavy. In the past, she was mischievous and yful, but when she came here, it was as if she was wearing a mask. She rarely spoke, and her gaze was fierce, like a lion waiting for its prey. At home, Ji Lingchen always said that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body was soft, as if she had no bones, but he had no idea what his delicate wife had been through in her younger days. Today, Fang Xiaonuan was here to advance. She wanted to upgrade from a silver card to a gold card. The second-ranked card was a gold card. Only four people could hold it. The first-ranked card was the diamond card! Only one person was qualified to hold it, and that person was the winner. They would be the true king or queen of this ce! Just like the ancient emperors, the diamond card was equivalent to a jade seal. Only one person could hold it, and the rest had to obey their orders and submit to them. What Fang Xiaonuan wanted to fight for was not this feeling of being high and mighty, but to have a diamond card. She had aspired to earn this for the past five years. The golden card was like an important minister by the emperor¡¯s side. The power was equivalent to being below the emperor, below one person, and above ten thousand people. The silver card that Fang Xiaonuan had was equivalent to bing an important minister. Like the confidential minister by the emperor¡¯s side, it could not be underestimated. When the three of them saw the invitation from Silver Field, Ji Wen and Liu Siyu simultaneously turned to look at Fang Xiaonuan, who had a silver card. Fang Xiaonuan said straightforwardly, ¡°I¡¯ll participate.¡± It just so happened that she had been so angry with her husband that morning, and her anger had yet to subside. Wasn¡¯t this a good opportunity to subdue her anger? And so, the three of them filled in the entry form. Ji Lingchen, who was in the CEO¡¯s office of Ji Corporation, was not in the mood to work. ¡°Where is she right now? What is she doing?¡± Ji Lingchen could not help but think of his little wife. On the table in front of him, there were two movie tickets. They were for a movie that had just recently been released. The name of the movie was ¡®You Are My World¡¯. On the way to thepany in the morning, when he was waiting at the traffic lights, he saw a couple waiting by the side of the road. The girl was holding a ss of milk, drinking as she walked. The boy was apanying the girl. The two of them were talking andughing. This sight made Ji Lingchen unconsciously think of himself and his little wife. Chapter 194 - You Want to Be a Scumbag?

Ji Lingchen remembered that his wife had said that she really wanted to go to the movies, date, drink milk tea, and travel with him. They could go to the movies, date, and drink milk tea together. However, because he was too busy to get leave from work, he could only put on hold the idea of traveling with his wife. After arriving at thepany, Ji Lingchen began to check out the recent movies. For a moment, he did not know what to watch, so he could only pick up the phone on the table and call Secretary Song. ¡°Come over now.¡± Secretary Song thought it was something urgent, so she immediately ran to the CEO¡¯s office and said respectfully, ¡°CEO Ji, what are your orders?¡± Ji Lingchen was holding his phone. He asked without blinking, ¡°What kind of movies do girls usually like?¡± Secretary Song was speechless. He had called her in so urgently so that she could help him woo his wife? ¡°You Are My World. This movie has just been released. Girls usually like to watch new movies.¡± Ji Lingchen immediately bought two tickets using his phone. ¡°CEO, do you want to book the entire theater?¡± Ji Lingchen thought for a moment and rejected the notion. ¡°No, Xiaonuan doesn¡¯t like that.¡± Actually, Ji Lingchen had his own selfish motives. If he booked the entire theatre, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s sullen response would probably make her sit far away from him. If there were many people, Fang Xiaonuan could not go anywhere else. She could only sit obediently by his side. After booking the movie tickets, Ji Lingchen began to look forward to the evening. He checked the ss schedule of his wife and nephew. There were very few sses today. They would probably go home earlier in the evening. Ji Lingchen was even nning how to give his wife a surprise. Little did he know that his wife¡¯s surprise was already on the way. After school, there was a sneaky man at the door of the ssroom, intentionally or unintentionally looking into the ssroom. After making sure that the man from yesterday was no longer in the ssroom, Chen Chen walked into the ssroom with ease. He was dressed in decent clothes, which made it obvious that he had taken his time to get dressed up. He was even wearing cologne, and as he walked, the fragrance spread in all directions. Chen Chen stopped in front of the three of them. The three of them raised their hands almost at the same time, covering their noses and mouths. ¡°Senior, what¡¯s that smell?¡± Liu Siyu could not help but ask. ¡°Versace cologne. How is it? You don¡¯t like it?¡± Chen Chen asked in confusion. Liu Siyu would not go easy on him. She asked directly, ¡°Did you buy a fake?¡± Her brother had also been using Versace cologne. Although the smell of the cologne was very light, it made Liu Siyu somewhat fascinated. However, this guy¡¯s cologne was overpowering. Maybe he had bought a fake and that was why it smelled so bad. Chen Chen¡¯s expression was very awkward. He sniffed his arm and said very tactfully, ¡°Ah, this¡­ I¡¯m really sorry. I was rushing to see you. I might have used the wrong amount.¡± When Ji Wen heard this, he was sure that this man was an experienced scumbag. He reminded her, ¡°Siyu, this sounds like a scumbag¡¯s typical flirtatious sayings. Don¡¯t fall for it.¡± Chen Chen was even more embarrassed. He smiled and was about to invite Liu Siyu to watch a movie, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you still want to take Siyu on a movie date. How many people did you invite this time? Ask your other girlfriends toe along. Let¡¯s all go together. It¡¯ll be fun.¡± Hearing this, Chen Chen was shocked. He pretended to be dumb and said, ¡°Are you saying¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t your teacher tell you that there¡¯s a new principal at school?¡± Fang Xiaonuan had a bad temper to begin with, so she simply interrupted him again. She was now using her newly assumed identity as the principal to oppress her ssmates and vent her anger at the scumbags at the same time! Chen Chen swallowed and stammered, ¡°Principal, you¡­ Just now, how many girlfriends did you say I have? I¡­ I don¡¯t know. I only like Liu Siyu.¡± Liu Siyu immediately stretched out her hand to signal for Chen Chen to shut up. She exined in front of everyone, ¡°Hey, senior, I just spoke to you in the club group. Please don¡¯t take it the wrong way. I¡¯m afraid that your girlfriend who studiesw will sue me. After all, she might be awyer in the future.¡± ¡°Also, I¡¯m even more afraid of that junior in our club. She¡¯ll go around saying that I¡¯m trying to steal her boyfriend. Also, what if that girl you had over for a booty call can¡¯t reach you? What if shees to the school and tries to me me for it?¡± Liu Siyu was not being vicious. With just a few sentences, she revealed everything Chen Chen was hiding. This got the attention of the other students in the ss. They listened attentively to the new gossip material. Chapter 195 - Having the Heart of a Scumbag, but

As he listened to this, Chen Chen got a little agitated and secretly clenched his fists. The reason why he wanted to pursue Liu Siyu was that the two of them were in the same club and were close to each other. It was easy to make a move on her. Most importantly, Liu Siyu had a very good rtionship with Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen. Although he did not know what Liu Siyu¡¯s family background was, based on the rtionship between Liu Siyu and the two of them, it would definitely be very convenient to pursue Liu Siyu. Chen Chen was now in his fourth year of university. It was almost time for his internship. If he could make Liu Siyu his woman, then during his internship, he could take advantage of this rtionship. If he could get Fang Xiaonuan to say some nice things about him to her husband, he might be able to get an internship at Ji Corporation. In the future, he could even use this rtionship to be a long-term employee at Ji Corporation. In addition, Liu Siyu was currently the school belle. If he managed to snag her, Chen Chen¡¯s reputation in the school would definitely not be any worse than that of the Prince Charming, Ji Wen. If he were to date the school belle, he would be able to show off. If the school belle was his woman, he would be so proud. This is why Chen Chen expended so much effort to connect with Liu Siyu. When Fang Xiaonuan was the school belle, although Chen Chen knew that she was very beautiful, the chances of him dating her were quite low. This was because they did not know each other. To him, she was of little value. Fortunately, he did not chase after her. If Ji Lingchen learned that someone was after his wife, his expulsion would be a small matter, and he might even be killed. His rational analysis saved his life. Last night, when he went home, he investigated Liu Siyu¡¯s brother. He learned that he was a police officer or some captain. However, in Chen Chen¡¯s eyes, a small police officer was not much of a threat. When he arrived at the ssroom door, his shoulder suddenly hurt. He immediately remembered that although Liu Siyu¡¯s brother was not a powerful person, he was very good at fighting. Therefore, he sneaked in and carefully observed before entering the ssroom. However, he did not expect that before he could ask Liu Siyu out, the three of them would ridicule him like this. The scariest thing was that these three actually knew about his private life. ¡°Do you think that my brother wouldn¡¯t be able to find you just because you changed your phone number, re-registered on WeChat, and secretly became a scumbag? Let me tell you, as long as you don¡¯t change your face and identity card, even if you bury yourself, my brother will know where you are,¡± said Liu Siyu. Although she had danced on the grave of her family¡¯s ancestors yesterday, Liu Siyu was still a member of the Liu family after all. She had to speak highly of her brother in public. Some people in the crowd had already be active on the school forum. Liu Siyu seemed to want to tear off the ugly face of this scumbag today. She continued, ¡°You¡¯re always so stingy, and you still want a woman to support you. You can¡¯t even bear to fork out the money to book a hotel room. Even when you pay for only half an hour for an hourly hotel, you spend only ten minutes washing up and having sex. You clearly are impotent and have kidney failure. You aren¡¯t destined to be a scumbag, but you have all of the illnesses they suffer.¡± Chen Chen was already on the verge of losing it. He wanted to tear Liu Siyu¡¯s face apart immediately. A certain post on the school forum instantly became a hot search. A certain senior in his fourth year was a scumbag, and he had cheated on several girlfriends at the same time. His girlfriends were suspected to be a third-yearw student, a freshman, and a bar girl. Although the scumbag was impotent, he would still book a private room for their date, as if it was true love. ¡­ The three people who had allowed the situation to develop to such a state simply took their school bags and left. Sitting in the car, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen pped for Liu Siyu in tacit understanding. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Liu Siyu, wow! Your poisonous tongue! Have you been studying us behind our backs?¡± Liu Siyu raised her head proudly, and said disdainfully, ¡°Tsk, my brother told me about him after he investigated him yesterday. I wanted to expose him. A scumbag hiding his crimes is aiding the wicked. I didn¡¯t think that this guy would dare toe to me today and seek his own death. Does he think I can¡¯t distinguish between a scumbag and a man?¡± Ji Wen also asked curiously, ¡°Siyu, let¡¯s not talk about anything else. How did you know that he booked a room for half an hour and left in less than ten minutes?¡± ¡°My brother got the info. I just blurted it all out.¡± Liu Siyu looked at the two of them innocently. Last night, Liu Siyu sat cross-legged on the bed and listened as her brother educated her. Liu Siyan was cursing and swearing. When he was riled up, he blurted that piece of information out. This got Liu Siyu¡¯s attention immediately. She asked, ¡°Brother, ording to what you said, is this person¡¯s kidney not working?¡± Liu Siyan poked Liu Siyu¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°What are you thinking about? You¡¯re not listening to any of my good advice.¡± Chapter 196 - How Long is Normal?

Chapter 196: How Long is Normal?

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Liu Siyu refused to let this question go unanswered. She went into Liu Siyan¡¯s bedroom and would not let him fall asleep without giving her an answer. ¡°Brother, do you think this scumbag has such a bad kidney? What right does he have to be a scumbag? What right does he have?¡± Liu Siyan had an impulse to send his sister flying. How could he give her an answer to that question when he was her brother and not her husband? Liu Siyan was extremely annoyed. He used a nket to wrap Liu Siyu up and forced her back into her room. ¡°Brother!¡± Liu Siyu struggled out of the nket and shouted angrily. Liu Siyan closed the door and left without giving his sister a chance toin. Right now, though, as the three of them were making their way to Silver Field, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen finally understood what had happened to Liu Siyust night. After listening to her story, Fang Xiaonuan felt proud of her friend. Liu Siyu continued to speak to Ji Wen like a god, ¡°Xiaowen, tell me, how long is sex supposed tost? What is considered normal? In novels, people write that men could have sex for the entire day without leaving the bed. Is that true?¡± Ji Wen was immediately annoyed and said angrily, ¡°I¡¯ve been single since I was born. How the f*ck would I know!¡± The two of them looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was already married. ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± She was happily listening to the gossip a moment ago, and now she was stuttering. She exined, ¡°Being married doesn¡¯t mean I know everything.¡± ¡°When you head home tonight, why don¡¯t you ask your hubby?¡± Liu Siyu said with a lecherous expression. Ji Wen also asked with a strange expression, ¡°Do you still remember what I said when we met for the first time?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Of course, she remembered. At that time, she was very d. At that time, she had experienced a misfire of sorts. By ident, she had bumped into her hubby¡¯s ce. Fang Xiaonuan felt that Ji Wen¡¯s words were somewhat suspicious. ¡°What are you guys talking about? Quickly tell me!¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s interest was piqued. Ji Wen was about to say something when Fang Xiaonuan immediately said, ¡°I don¡¯t have to tell you guys things about my husband. You guys can¡¯t discuss it!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with talking about your husband? Didn¡¯t you dance on his ancestors¡¯ graves this morning? Now, you¡¯re defending him?¡± No matter how much Liu Siyu pestered her, Fang Xiaonuan did not say anything. Ji Wen felt that Fang Xiaonuan had let her emotions get the better of her. After all, this matter concerned his uncle, so Ji Wen could not say anything. Liu Siyu said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯ve been pestering you guys for so long, but you refuse to tell me. How boring!¡± The car quickly arrived at their destination. The three of them got out of the car and took out the paint. The three of them looked at the red, blue, and yellow paint and were stunned. ¡°Xiaonuan, did you buy this?¡± Liu Siyu asked in disbelief. Fang Xiaonuan said guiltily, ¡°I took one box and left. I didn¡¯t see what colors they were.¡± Ji Wen looked at the three pigments and said calmly. ¡°We¡¯re done for. We¡¯ll look so colorful standing next to each other wearing primary colors!¡± Of course, what Ji Wen said was not entirely urate. When they entered the venue, they were regarded as three ¡°Native Americans¡±. The three of them doodled randomly using the paint. In the end, they ended up looking like Native Americans. After entering the hotel, the three of them went into the elevator together afterpleting the so-called check-in procedures. The elevator descended rapidly and went directly to the fourth underground floor. The three of them walked out of the elevator. The underground space was very dark, and it was all thanks to the surrounding lights. It was alreadyte autumn, and the weather had cooled down. It was even colder in here. Ji Wen saw that Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu were rubbing their arms to warm themselves. Ji Wen also felt very cold, but he still took off his coat and draped it over Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body. He said, ¡°Put it on properly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the coat and said somewhat emotionally, ¡°You¡¯re such a good child. I usually don¡¯t dote on you at home.¡± ¡°Forget it. From the day you married into the family, I lost my status in the family. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Ji Wen said. Fang Xiaonuan thought about it. That did seem to be the case. Ever since she married into the Ji family, Ji Wen¡¯s status had definitely changed. It was not as high as before. She quicklyforted him, ¡°Be good. When you go back, I¡¯ll definitely dote on you.¡± Ji Wen pouted. ¡°No need. You just have to dote on your husband. I want to live a little longer.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. However, when he mentioned her husband, her heart swelled with adoration. Seeing that Liu Siyu was also dressed in thin clothes, Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Siyu, wear this. I¡¯ll warm up once I go on stage.¡± Chapter 197 - Not Just Any Dog

Liu Siyu shook her head. Of course, she knew why Ji Wen had draped his coat over Fang Xiaonuan. She said, ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯ll bepeting in a while. No one knows who your opponent is. Keep the coat on to stay warm. If you¡¯re too cold, it will affect your performance.¡± Ji Wen echoed, ¡°Just keep the coat on. I¡¯ll just hug Siyu.¡± As he said that, Ji Wen stretched out his arm, he pulled Liu Siyu into his arms and said, ¡°Siyu, don¡¯t read too much into this. I¡¯m hugging you because you¡¯re cold. Don¡¯t go home and tell your brother about this. I don¡¯t want to get beaten up.¡± Liu Siyu patted Ji Wen¡¯s arm and said calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to hold me to keep me warm. I can handle myself.¡± Fang Xiaonuan saw that Liu Siyu was only wearing a small vest and a thin coat. ¡°Siyu, let¡¯s switch clothes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately exined, ¡°I¡¯m wearing a turtleneck. It¡¯ll affect my performance on stageter. Your clothes are more fitting. Let¡¯s switch. I¡¯ll find it easier to move around in your clothes, and my clothes are thicker than yours. You¡¯ll be warmer this way.¡± Liu Siyu looked at their clothes and nodded. Then, the two of them went to the bathroom to switch clothes. When they came out, Ji Wen looked at the two of them and said, ¡°I almost couldn¡¯t tell who was who between the two of you.¡± After all, all their faces looked almost identical now. It made sense that Ji Wen found it hard to tell them apart. Liu Siyu gave Ji Wen a look and let Ji Wen look at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s neck with an evil smile. Fang Xiaonuan had been using her turtleneck to cover up the ambiguous marks all day, so no one had seen them. Now that she had changed into a small vest, the ambiguous marks on her neck could be clearly seen. After Ji Wen saw it, he said, ¡°So my uncle is a dog.¡± Fang Xiaonuan also said, ¡°That¡¯s right, and not just any dog.¡± The person who was called ¡°dog¡± by his wife and nephew had already left work. Ji Lingchen picked up the movie tickets that he had prepared beforehand and impatiently went home to pick up his little wife. On the way home, he even queued up to buy milk tea for his little wife. It was also his first time buying milk tea. He had no idea what vor his little wife liked, so he could only ask for a rmendation. ¡°This is our signature. It¡¯s the best choice.¡± Ji Lingchen listened to the staff member¡¯s suggestion and ordered a cup of the shop¡¯s signature milk tea. ¡°Sir, do you want it at room temperature or with ice?¡± the staff member asked. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Room temperature.¡± The girls lining up for milk tea could not help but take a few more nces at such a cold and handsome man. Some of them secretly ogled him, while others looked at him openly. ¡°He¡¯s too handsome,¡± someone could not help but say. ¡°Look at this man. He looks like Ji Lingchen.¡± Hearing this, everyone fell silent. The way everyone looked at him changed. At first, it was only because he was too handsome, and he was buying milk tea in a suit. This made everyone feel like he was a little out of ce. However, when someone pulled up a picture of Ji Lingchen on their phone, thenpared it with the man before them, the look in their eyes changed. They werepletely dumbfounded. They did not even have the time to react. Ji Lingchen did not hide his identity and he did not speak to anyone. At this moment, his gaze suddenly fell on the fruit tea that the person in front of him had just made. The color of the fruit tea was very appealing. It was pink, and it looked like something his wife would like. Ji Lingchen stopped the girl who was about to leave with it and asked, ¡°Excuse me, what is the name of your drink?¡± The girl was immediately overwhelmed. She stood rooted to the ground and stammered, ¡°White, white peach¡­¡± ¡°White peach fruit tea,¡± the staff immediately said. After Ji Lingchen heard it, he said to the staff, ¡°Give me a cup of white peach fruit tea. My wife will definitely like it.¡± ¡°CEO Ji, are you here to buy milk tea for your wife?¡± the staff asked. Ji Lingchen thought of his petite wife at home. She was extremely soft and affectionate. He said dotingly, ¡°She¡¯s a glutton and likes to drink milk tea. I got off work early today and I want to bring two cups home.¡± After the staff heard this, he immediately turned around and began to make the drinks. Not long after, the signature milk tea and white peach fruit tea that Ji Lingchen ordered were ready. Holding the milk tea and fruit tea, he called his father. At the time, Old Master Ji was ying a little game, and he was having a great time. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this little game to be so fun. I yed this game called Sheep and Sheep for the whole afternoon, and I¡¯m still not bored of it.¡± Old Master Ji sat on the sofa with the butler and yed non-stop. ¡°Xiaonuan is really great. She shares these fun games with me every day, and she even ns to teach me how to y that skydiving game.¡± ¡°Master, the young madam said that it¡¯s not called Skydiving, it¡¯s called Eating Chicken,¡± the butler corrected him.

Old Master Ji waved his hand and said straightforwardly, ¡°Who cares what it¡¯s called? My daughter-inw is really good.¡± Old Master Ji, who was ying happily, received a call from his son. He pressed the speaker button impatiently and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you just send a message to the group chat? Must you disturb my gaming by calling?¡± Ji Lingchen did not expect his father to scold him. He asked, ¡°Has Xiaonuan returned home?¡± ¡°Not yet. She should be on her way,¡± Old Master Ji said. He was still ying the game. ¡°Where are you? Why is it so noisy?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m buying milk tea for Xiaonuan.¡± When Old Master Ji heard that he was buying milk tea, he instantly logged out of the game. He picked up his phone and put it to his ear. ¡°Son, buy me a cup too.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Old Master Ji continued, ¡°I¡¯ll drink whatever Xiaonuan drinks. She once bought me one with pearls as well. It tasted pretty good. Get me one of those as well.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. He should not have made this call. After hanging up, Ji Lingchen could only ask the staff to make two cups of the exact same drinks for his father. After getting all of them, he returned to the car with four drinks. After getting into the car, he called Ji Wen again, but no one picked up. He called Fang Xiaonuan again, but still, no one picked up. Ji Lingchen looked at the time. It was already past four o¡¯clock. School was already over, so he drove home. When he got home, Old Master Ji¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw what his son was holding. It was indeed the kind of drink Xiaonuan had bought for him before! No one had realized that this old man, who was in his sixties and almost seventy years old, actually loved this type of food. Ever since Ji Lingchen married Fang Xiaonuan, Old Master Ji had been eating more and more each day. However, caviar, deer antler, ginseng, and the like, were nothingpared to a te of crayfish to Old Master Ji. What about king crab? Well, he much preferred the food on Snack Street his daughter-inw introduced him to. King crab could notpare to that. ¡°Hey, why did you buy four drinks?¡± Old Master Ji looked at the number of drinks and wanted to take three cups shamelessly. Ji Lingchen put down a cup of milk tea and a cup of fruit tea. He looked at the time and said, ¡°Dad, Xiaonuan and Ji Wen aren¡¯t back yet?¡± ¡°They haven¡¯te back.¡± After Old Master Ji said that, he picked up the milk tea and looked at it. He was pretty sure this was what Xiaonuan had bought for himst time. He stuck the straw into it and started drinking immediately. He seemed to really enjoy the milk tea. Ji Lingchen waited until 5:30 in the evening, but Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen still had note home. Moreover, the two of them had not answered their phones. Could it be that something had happened to the two of them? The more Ji Lingchen thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply put the drinks in the bedroom, picked up the car keys, and left the house. He drove directly to his wife¡¯s school and found the ssroom where theirst ss was based on the signage. There was no one in the ssroom, and there were no traces of them on the way there. How did the two of them disappear at the same time? At this time, in Silver Field, three matches had already been held on the stage. Fang Xiaonuan was next. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu looked at Fang Xiaonuan nervously. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Xiaonuan, are you confident?¡± At such a critical moment, Liu Siyu would always think of that year when Fang Xiaonuan was knocked to the ground so hard that she could not get up. Her wrist had been red and her arm had been swollen. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her opponent who was also sizing her up. She said confidently, ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem. I¡¯ve seen the match he fought in to advance to this stage. He had many weaknesses. There¡¯s no way he resolved all of them in such a short time.¡± Ji Wen stood beside her and said, ¡°This person is good at judo. He won that match because his opponent underestimated him. You can¡¯t let your guard down. This guy looks like a very cunning person. He¡¯ll probably conceal his strength to confuse you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded after hearing that. She said to the two, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Even if he wants to confuse me, do you think I¡¯ll be fooled?¡± Who didn¡¯t have secrets? Seeing that there was not much time left, Fang Xiaonuan got up and took off her jacket. She wore Siyu¡¯s ck vest and walked to the waiting area. The man she was fighting with was codenamed ¡°Yan.¡± There was a Spongebob tattoo on the man¡¯s face. Fang Xiaonuan could not guess the age and strength of her opponent. She could only make some estimates based on his height and weight. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect ¡®Nan Nan¡¯ toe to thepetition with a hickey. It seems that yourpetition in bed is also very intense. Do you want to indulge and release your stress?¡± Yan said. Fang Xiaonuan felt her opponent¡¯s gaze fall on her neck. Yan¡¯s words were clearly an attempt at humiliating her. He was mocking Fang Xiaonuan, and trying to make her scared. He implied that she was too stressed and needed another man to help her deal with the pressure. Chapter 199 - Insult

Chapter 199: Insult

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

Fang Xiaonuanughed coldly. The paint covered her innocent face, making her seem even more mysterious. It also made the people around her want to know what she looked like under the paint. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to make you jealous. It can¡¯t be helped. It¡¯s too bad that I already have a husband. If you¡¯re jealous that I have a husband who loves me, when you lose, go find yourself a husband. This way, you can get your own hickey and soothe your injured heart.¡± Women had men. It was thew of nature. No one felt that something was wrong. But Fang Xiaonuan deliberately suggested that her opponent find a husband. This was an insult to the man across from her. Fang Xiaonuan took revenge on the spot. She did not wait. Since the other party had mocked her first, she could not be med for speaking too harshly. Every time, she would stab the other party in the heart. The words she said never showed mercy. Surprisingly, Yan did not get angry. Instead, heughed out loud. Fang Xiaonuan nced at him coldly. Then, she turned her head away in disdain and looked elsewhere. When this man smiled, he looked like a madman. He revealed arge number of teeth, which made her very disgusted. The man¡¯s teeth were yellow. From the sound of hisughter, she guessed that he was a young man in his twenties. Fang Xiaonuan warmed up while looking at the man¡¯s hand. You could tell a lot about a person by their hand. Those who had done manualbor had thick and short fingers, thick calluses on their hands, and rough skin. If the person just worked out, their skin would be fairer. Fairer skin showed that they stayed in the house all year round without experiencing the wind and sun. People who sat in the office all year round would have slightly different fingers from ordinary people. Their fingertips would be a little t, and their skin would be better, but they would be slightly different from those who worked out. Fang Xiaonuan had roughly figured out the type of work this person did by observing his hands. He was undoubtedly doing manualbor. Moreover, when he wasughing just now, he revealed his charred yellow teeth. He probably had teeth like that because he smoked all year round. From these characteristics, she could determine that her opponent was around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He was doing manualbor, and his addiction to smoking was particrly potent. He would often need to catch his breath at work. With this information, Fang Xiaonuan roughly knew some of his weaknesses. As they finished stretching, thest round of the match had ended. Yan looked at Fang Xiaonuan and spat in her direction on purpose. Fang Xiaonuan, on the other hand, did not care at all and changed her path. She did not take it to heart. The two of them went onto the stage. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu anxiously stood by the side of the stage to watch. They had a lot to say to Fang Xiaonuan, but they were afraid that it would affect her state of mind during thepetition, so they did not dare to speak. They could only linger at the side of the stage. They both stared at the petite woman on stage. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the craftiness in the other party¡¯s eyes and instantly became serious. She was not in the mood to continue with the verbal battle. The atmosphere below the stage was heated. ¡°Nan Nan¡± had made her move. The people below the stage immediately became excited because every match with her would be very exciting. Her boxing posture was elegant. It always looked like she was dancing. Ever since she became famous, her fans would swarm to her every match and cheer for her. This situation also aroused the desire for victory in the hearts of the contestants. They wanted to be her opponent, defeat her, and take her fame for themselves. Of course, Yan felt the same. When he went on stage, even though he knew that his opponent was a little girl, he still took off his clothes and revealed his muscr upper body. He raised his eyebrows and said teasingly, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a husband? If your husband finds out that you let a bare-chested man lie above you, what will he think?¡± ¡°He¡¯ll die.¡± Ji Wen looked at the man who was trying to psych Fang Xiaonuan out and answered on her behalf. If this man really dared to plot against his aunt and crush her with his weight, his uncle, who could practically eat people for lunch, would definitely bury this man alive. It was unsettling to see a woman participate in apetition meant for a man, but Fang Xiaonuan did not take it to heart. She was already in the zone. As the sound of the bell rang out, the crowd quieted down and watched the two people on the stage. The two people tested each other, and Fang Xiaonuan maintained some distance from him. The man kept insulting Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Wen wanted to go up and fight with the man, but Fang Xiaonuan was unusually calm and her eyes were filled with rationality. Suddenly, she rushed toward her opponent. When the man thought she was going to attack, Fang Xiaonuan leaned back and dodged. It was just an empty stance, but it made the man choose to protect himself in a panic. When Fang Xiaonuan stood up, the crowd burst intoughter and said, ¡°Yan can¡¯t do it. He¡¯s no match for Nan Nan. He only knows how to attack with words. He doesn¡¯t have any real skills.¡± ¡°Nan Nan has skills and she¡¯s an expert. Yan looks like a big idiot. He will probably lose.¡± Chapter 200 - Battle

Chapter 200: Battle

The crowd¡¯s discussion undoubtedly got ¡°Yan¡± riled up. He began to get serious andunched a fierce attack on Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan saw that he wasing aggressively and dodged, rolling on the ground. When everyone saw this, they all thought that Fang Xiaonuan would use a conservative tactic this time. However, she suddenly kicked the man¡¯s bare feet hard. ¡°Ah!¡± Yan was hit by the sudden attack and screamed. Then, Fang Xiaonuan quickly stood up. ¡°Good!¡± Everyone apuded Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s sudden attack. When he heard the people apud Fang Xiaonuan, Yan felt a little embarrassed and rushed toward her. He knew that if he wanted to win this time, he needed to capture Fang Xiaonuan and hold her down. However, it was very difficult to capture the opponent in a judo versus sanda battle. In the first ten minutes of the match, Yan had already been knocked down many times. When he stood up, he looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was standing not far away. He clenched his fists and charged at Fang Xiaonuan again, as if he wanted to kill her. Fang Xiaonuan did not dodge and chose to meet him head-on. Of course, she could notpete in terms of strength, but she deliberately aimed her strength at his weakness. She directly turned sideways to avoid his impact and used her elbow to hit his spine. For a moment, the man was knocked forward and staggered. The people watching the match burst intoughter again. They mocked, ¡°You can¡¯t even stand steadily, yet you still think you can beat Nan Nan. It¡¯s simply wishful thinking.¡± Yan looked back at Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s position, turned around to stretch his muscles, and continued to fight. This time, he had found Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s weak point. He grabbed Fang Xiaonuan and threw her onto the ground hard. Fang Xiaonuan was thrown to the ground, but she quickly bounced back up. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu¡¯s hearts clenched when they saw this scene. The crowd was silent. They looked at the arena in disbelief. Nan Nan was actually thrown down so cruelly by her opponent. Yan was slightly pleased with himself. Just as he was about to crush Fang Xiaonuan, she flipped over and got up in an instant. Yan, on the other hand, crashed to the ground. No one had expected that Fang Xiaonuan would be able to get up so quickly. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the timer. Liu Siyu understood and shouted loudly, ¡°There¡¯s still ten minutes left.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned around and red at Yan who was lying on the ground. Just as Yan was about to get up, Fang Xiaonuan flew over and raised her arm. She put all of her weight behind her elbow and used it to smash Yan¡¯s left arm. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. Fang Xiaonuan broke the man¡¯s left arm. There was no need to wait for the system assessment to announce the oue. Everyone in the audience could see that the match was over in eight minutes. Fang Xiaonuan was already sweating from the exertion. She stood up and retreated to a safe area. She watched as the man slowly stood up and tried to attack Fang Xiaonuan with all his might. However, if he did not treat his arm as soon as possible, he might be crippled. The match was not over yet, and the oue was already decided. There was a round of enthusiastic apuse from the crowd. Yan, who had been shouting crazily earlier, was hanging his head. He picked up his clothes and walked off the stage. Fang Xiaonuan kicked him directly from behind. He did not have time to react and immediately fell to the ground. Hended on the exact spot he had spat on earlier. Everyone burst intoughter. This was what he deserved. Fang Xiaonuan did not say much. She just smiled and turned around to jump over the railing. Her movements were very smooth. ¡°Wow, Xiaonuan, you¡¯re really amazing. You won again. You didn¡¯t even use any moves. You just dodged a few times and won. You¡¯re my idol,¡± Liu Siyu said excitedly as she hugged Fang Xiaonuan, who was covered in sweat. Ji Wen saw that Fang Xiaonuan was not injured, so he asked, ¡°Did you deliberately get caught and thrown down?¡± Fang Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows proudly and nodded. ¡°Yeah, you saw through it.¡± From the moment she went on stage, she had been paying attention to her opponent¡¯s every move. He humiliated her, so she had to ¡°lie down¡±. Only by lying down would she have a chance to quickly win the battle. Every step she took was nned. Fang Xiaonuan walked back to the resting area, picked up the water on the ground, and drank some water. Liu Siyu took Ji Wen¡¯s coat and quickly draped it over Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body. She was sweating, so she might catch a cold. ¡­ At the same time, a man was anxiously looking for his wife. He had searched the entire city, but there was no sign of his wife. He called his inws to inquire about his wife¡¯s whereabouts. When Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s parents heard that their daughter was missing, they immediately became anxious. They immediately called Liu Siyu, but no one picked up. Chapter 201 - CEO Ji’s Wife Was Missing Again

¡°Lingchen, these kids aren¡¯t answering their phones. Why don¡¯t we call the police?¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. After hanging up on his father-inw, he called Ye Mubai. ¡°Help me look for her. My wife is missing again.¡± Ye Mubai was speechless. Soon, their group chat became active again. Murong was crazily tagging Ji Lingchen in the group chat. ¡°CEO Ji, is your rtionship alright? Why is she always missing? Didn¡¯t she show her affection before?¡± Wang Yubo also learned that his friend¡¯s wife was missing again. ¡°Lingchen, it¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but you can manage such a bigpany in such an orderly manner. So, why do you keep losing your wife? How are you living your life? If you really think highly of this woman, leash her up and make her follow you at all times.¡± Ji Lingchen wanted to sew up Ye Mubai¡¯s mouth. If he did not need his help to find her now, he would have definitely taken action. Yao Qian also tagged Ji Lingchen in the group and asked, ¡°Is your sex life not harmonious, or does she have a gigolo?¡± Ye Mubai instantly exploded. ¡°Yao Qian, are you saying that Fang Xiaonuan cheated on him?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the group messages and sent one word: ¡°Scram!¡± It was simple and crude, but it reflected his current mood. After that, his friends sensibly shut their mouths. They did not want to make him upset anymore. Not long after, Ye Mubai returned Ji Lingchen¡¯s call. ¡°I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?¡± ¡°Ye Mubai, don¡¯t court death.¡± Ji Lingchen was in no mood to listen to nonsense. Ye Mubai hurriedly said, ¡°The good news is that your wife has been found. She¡¯s at the Triumph Hotel. The bad news is that the man who booked a room with your wife has also been found. It¡¯s your nephew¡­¡± When Ji Lingchen heard about the hotel, he immediately narrowed his eyes. What was she doing there? After hanging up the phone, he immediately drove to the hotel. When he reached the ce, he found that there were no more parking spaces in the parking lot. He simply parked his car at the entrance of the hotel, got out of the car, and walked in. ¡°I¡¯m looking for three people. They look like students. Their names are Fang Xiaonuan, Ji Wen, and Liu Siyu,¡± Ji Lingchen said directly to the front desk. Thedy at the front desk asked with a puzzled face, ¡°Sir, may I ask who you are?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was gloomy. He said coldly, ¡°I am Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s husband.¡± The front desk felt that the man¡¯s identity was questionable and needed to be verified. Ji Lingchen directly threw a stack of money onto the desk. ¡°Hurry up.¡± The receptionist was stunned upon seeing so much money. She immediately put the money away and quickly searched their system. ¡°I didn¡¯t find the name Liu Siyu. The other two people are in Room 365.¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchen walked into the elevator and went up to the third floor. When he reached the third floor, he found room 365. He knocked on the door, but there was no response. Ji Lingchen obviously knew that nothing would happen between his wife and nephew, but the sudden booking of a room still made him feel annoyed. He knocked on the door again. ¡°Xiaonuan, Xiaowen, open the door!¡± There was still no response. Perhaps he was making too much noise because the cleaningdy in charge of the section came over to speak to him. ¡°Sir, did you get the wrong room? No one is staying here.¡± Hearing this, Ji Lingchen frowned. No one was staying here? Seeing Ji Lingchen¡¯s look of disbelief, thedy swiped her card to open the door and let go inside to take a look. Ji Lingchen went in to take a look, and there was indeed no one inside. Then, where did his wife go? As he walked into the elevator again, his mind was filled with questions. The receptionist at the front desk should not be wrong, unless¡­ Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was fixed on the swipe card area on the elevator. He took out an inconspicuous card from his wallet and pressed it to the sensor. The elevator descended quickly and reached the fourth underground floor. The elevator door opened. His eyes were sharp as he strode out of the elevator. If he really found his little wife here, he would spank her butt! Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were filled with viciousness as he walked into a ce that he had not been to for many years. ¡°Come on,e on!¡± The people in the stadium shouted crazily. Thepetition had just ended and eight out of thest sixteen people had advanced. ording to the system¡¯s analysis of thebat strength points in thepetition just now, the opponents would be redistributed. Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, can you guess who your opponent will be?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m more worried about fighting that foreigner.¡± ¡°What? There¡¯s another foreigner?¡± Ji Wen and Liu Siyu were stunned. Ji Wen asked, ¡°Which one of them is a foreigner?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said the foreigner¡¯s code name, ¡°T¡± ¡°Is he the one who knows Muay Thai?¡± Ji Wen asked. Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, ¡°Muay Thai, the king ofbat styles. If he beats me, I really won¡¯t be able to stand up.¡± Chapter 202 - Evenly Matched

At this moment, the broadcast announced the name list of the uing matches. Among them was ¡°Nan Nan versus T¡±. The audience immediately cheered. This would be a fight worth watching. The three of them were shocked, but after they reacted, they immediately gathered together to analyze T¡¯s weakness. The two of them had watched the matches with Fang Xiaonuan for five years, so they had some understanding of this. Ji Wen expressed his opinion. ¡°Muay Thai is fast, urate, and fierce, but it consumes a lot of energy. Can you slow him down?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I can¡¯t do that. There should be some other way. Muay Thai doesn¡¯t have much in the way of defense. It mainly relies on elbow and knee strikes. As long as I don¡¯t get hit by him, my chances of winning will be higher.¡± Soon, the venue announced the order of the matches. Fang Xiaonuan was the first to go up on stage. She took a deep breath and calmed down. ¡°Going early is good. I don¡¯t want to go homete. If my husband gets suspicious again, I won¡¯t be able to exin myself.¡± Ji Wen said worriedly, ¡°Ancestors, I beg you. Please end the battle quickly. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t get injured.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. She got up and ran her hands through some water to cool them down before going up on stage. On the opposite side, ¡®T¡¯ had not said a single word. After Fang Xiaonuan entered the ring, she saw his stance and guessed that he had received Muay Thai training since he was young. ¡®T¡¯ was very polite. Whenever he was faced with an opponent, he would put his hands together to express his respect. However, his opponents were very arrogant, so he had never received a response. Fang Xiaonuan returned his respect with cupped hands. Her response surprised and delighted T. he had not expected that the first person to respond and respect him would be Nan Nan. He felt that he had met a worthy opponent this time. Outside the battle, the two of them admired each other. On the tform, the two of them instantly entered a state of preparation. The system¡¯s countdown began, and an intense battle started. Ji Lingchen walked to a ss door. Inside was an extremelyrge space, with hundreds of people sitting inside. This door could not be opened manually. He needed a card to get in. Ji Lingchen once again stuck his card into the swiping area. The door automatically opened, and he walked in. ¡°Xiaowen, I¡¯m going to the bathroom. Watch over Xiaonuan. If anything goes wrong, immediately throw in the towel. Don¡¯t let her fight as hard as she didst time,¡± Liu Siyu instructed. Ji Wen nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will. If she gets injured this time, not only will my uncle destroy this ce, but he will also destroy the two of us.¡± The match on the stage had entered its climax. Fang Xiaonuan had used all of her abilities against T, using all the moves she could. If she missed, she would immediately turn around and move away from T to avoid being hit. T was good at Muay Thai, and the fatal point was a heavy blow. If hended a hit, she would lose without a doubt. He tried to hit Fang Xiaonuan a few times, but Fang Xiaonuan was like a fish, extremely slippery. Every time he was about tond a hit, she dodged quickly. At this time, Fang Xiaonuan seized the opportunity to move behind T and kicked his calf, causing T to fall to the ground. However, he grabbed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s calf and threw her to the ground as well. Fang Xiaonuan had a bad feeling! Lying on the ground meant she was like a piece of fish on a chopping board. Her movements were immediately limited. Her neck was pushed down, and her face was flushed red. Everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the stage. This battle wouldst for a long time, and it would be difficult to determine the winner. Fang Xiaonuan reacted quickly. Even though she could not breathe, she made a judgment in the face of impending danger. She gave up on breaking free. Instead, she clenched her fist and hit T¡¯s temple with all her strength. T groaned in pain, and the force that was pressing Fang Xiaonuan down weakened a lot. She took the opportunity to swing her fist again. She hit T¡¯s neck, knocking T off her body. Then, she quickly rolled away from T and half-squatted on the ground, breathing heavily and calming her heart rate. Time passed. The two of them were evenly matched, and neither of them gained any advantage. At this time, Liu Siyu came out of the bathroom. She washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and walked past the ss door, preparing to walk toward the arena. Suddenly, she saw a person without face paint out of the corner of her eye. Just as she was about to warn someone, this person happened to turn around and see her. He would notice her because she was wearing the same clothes as his wife. Their eyes met. Ji Lingchen saw the panic in the girl¡¯s eyes. Was she afraid of him? Ji Lingchen narrowed his eyes and sized up the girl¡¯s facial features. She had a simr body shape to his wife, and she was also wearing the same clothes. Ji Lingchen subconsciously wondered if she was his little kitten that deserved a beating. However, this girl seemed different. Her hair was not as soft as that of his wife. Chapter 203 - Desertion

Ji Lingchen was about to look away when he suddenly saw a strange scar on the girl¡¯s arm. This scar¡­suddenly triggered a memory for Ji Lingchen. That year, he had searched for that lost little girl for a whole fifteen years! Ji Lingchen¡¯s breathing quickened. He looked at the girl who was dressed like a Native American and strode forward to grab the girl¡¯s arm. He asked, ¡°Who are you?¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡®Oh my God, isn¡¯t this the despicable man from Xiaonuan¡¯s house?!¡¯ She hurriedly turned to look at Fang Xiaonuan, who was still fighting in the arena. ¡°Oh my God!¡± Liu Siyu struggled free of Ji Lingchen¡¯s grip and quickly ran into the crowd. ¡°Xiaoyu!¡± Ji Lingchen shouted as he looked at the fleeing girl. He had originallye to look for his wife, but when he saw this girl, hepletely lost sight of his wife. It was as if there was only a girl named ¡°Xiaoyu¡± in his world right now. He chased after that figure. Liu Siyu turned around and saw him chasing after her. She was extremely vexed. ¡°I¡¯m done for. I¡¯mpletely done for!¡± She squeezed through the crowd and ran to the side of the arena. ¡°Xiaowen, this is bad. This is bad. Ji Lingchen is here!¡± Ji Wen thought he had heard wrongly. Liu Siyu pointed behind her. ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. Your uncle is here. I saw it with my own eyes.¡± When Ji Wen heard that his uncle was here, his legs went weak. ¡°F*ck! Siyu, don¡¯t scare me. How could my uncle know about this ce? He doesn¡¯t have a card either. How did he get in?¡± Liu Siyu turned around and saw Ji Lingchen again. Ji Wen looked behind her and indeed saw his uncle without any face paint! At this moment, he even thought he might have to pick out his own coffin. Liu Siyu thought that at this time, she would be able to run as fast as she could. She said, ¡°Xiaowen, don¡¯t me me for being disloyal. Now that disaster is approaching, we can only run separately. Good luck to you and Xiaonuan. I¡¯ll leave first. See you another day!¡± After saying that, she turned around and ran away, leaving Ji Wen there. His knees were already trembling. His uncle was ring daggers in his direction. Ji Lingchen could still recognize his nephew no matter how well Ji Wen disguised himself. He slowly walked towards Ji Wen, his expression gloomy. With every step he took, Ji Wen felt as if his life had been shortened by a second. His heartbeat quickened. He was about to be frightened to death by his uncle¡¯s powerful aura. As for the woman in the arena, just as she was about to win, she suddenly saw a special man in the crowd. She opened her mouth in shock and had already forgotten to take advantage of the situation to pursue her opponent. That¡­ that person was¡­ was her husband. How did he find this ce? Thepetition was no longer important, nor was it important to advance. She directly jumped down from the stage. T and the audience were very puzzled. What was ¡®Nan Nan¡¯ doing? Fang Xiaonuan could not care less and directly expressed with her actions that she wanted to desert the fight! If she did not run now, she might lose her life if she continued to fight. She could not care less. It was impossible for her to grab Ji Wen and run away with him. It was better to save her own life first. She quickly fled the scene. This caused quite amotion in the arena. On the stage, they began to speak Thai. Ji Lingchen had already walked in front of his nephew. Ji Wen immediately raised his hands and made a surrender gesture. ¡°Where is your aunt?¡± Ji Wen subconsciously looked for the woman in the ring and was stunned. ¡®F*ck, where is she?¡¯ Only then did Ji Wen realize that Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu teammates had tricked him. They each ran for their lives. Only he was unlucky enough to be caught. When Fang Xiaonuan ran out, she was only wearing a vest. She put her hands on her hips and gasped for air. She had almost run out of breath. ¡°You ran out too?¡± A voice suddenly came from behind her. Fang Xiaonuan was shocked. She turned around and saw that it was her best friend, Liu Siyu. Due to the sameck of loyalty, the two of them met outside. ¡°Xiaoyu, f*ck you! Why didn¡¯t you inform me when you ran out? I was still enjoying the fight on the stage when I suddenly saw my husband walking over.¡± ¡°My mind went nk and I immediately jumped off the stage and ran out. Right now, it¡¯s probably a mess inside. There¡¯s no hope for me to advance today.¡± Liu Siyu stood at the side and quibbled, ¡°You still dare to talk about me? I looked into your husband¡¯s eyes and even spoke to him. He wanted to catch me. If I didn¡¯t run, I would¡¯ve died! Was I supposed to wait for that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s my husband. What are you afraid of? Why would he kill you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Chapter 204 - Little Princess

Liu Siyu said, ¡°D*mn it! It¡¯s because it¡¯s your husband. If he finds out that Ji Wen and I apanied you to the underground casino, the two of us will be considered aplices. The three of us will be done for!¡± The two sisters stood at the door and chatted with each other, while the face paint still made them look like Native Americans. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Hurry up and find a ce to change. I¡¯m going to seek my brother¡¯s protection,¡± Liu Siyu said. The two of them found a public restroom and went in to change. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Xiaonuan, your husband almost recognized me. He even called me Xiaoyu, but I didn¡¯t react. Let me tell you, when we go back, you can¡¯t tell him about us switching clothes. Otherwise, he will know that I was there.¡± Fang Xiaonuan agreed. The two of them changed their clothes and washed the paint off their faces. Then, Liu Siyu, who was wearing a tank top, reached out to hail a taxi. ¡°Sir, let¡¯s go to the Public Security Bureau.¡± Liu Siyan was busy with work when a girl wearing a tank top and face paint suddenly came in. He lifted the girl¡¯s chin and looked at the girl¡¯s face. ¡°Liu Siyu, tell me the truth. What did you do?¡± Liu Siyan was instantly enraged. Liu Siyu shrunk in fear. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m sorry. I know I was wrong.¡± Liu Siyan saw that she was only wearing a small tank top, so he quickly took off his jacket and put it on Liu Siyu, then, he brought Liu Siyu to the bathroom mirror. ¡°Quickly wash your face and tell me honestly where you went and what you did.¡± Liu Siyu obediently hung her head, turned on the tap, and washed her face seriously. ¡°Brother, I identally wet your sleeve.¡± Liu Siyan was furious. He even felt that his breathing was hot, but no matter how angry he was, what could he do? She was his sister! Liu Siyan rolled up his shirt sleeve and ordered Liu Siyu, ¡°Lower your head.¡± Liu Siyu obediently lowered her head and closed her eyes. After a while, he started scrubbing her face with his big hands. The paint on both sides of the girl¡¯s cheeks had not been washed off. Liu Siyan carefully washed her face. At this moment, a subordinate who came out of the bathroom saw this. He was very surprised and asked in disbelief, ¡°Captain, whose face are you washing?¡± ¡°This is my family¡¯s little princess, of course. Who else?¡± Liu Siyan said, a little angry. Hearing her brother doting on her and calling her ¡°little princess¡± made Liu Siyu smile. After washing her face, Liu Siyan helped her wipe her face. ¡°Liu Siyu, go back to my office and immediately tell me what you did today. If I find out, it won¡¯t be good for you. Our parents called me. They won¡¯t be back for a week. When theye back, they will tell us.¡± In other words, Liu Siyu would have to live under her brother¡¯s nose for the next week. If her parents did note back, she would have to follow her brother¡¯s orders. If she did not perform well, he might punish her by making her wash dirty socks or clean the kitchen. Liu Siyu walked into the office and sat opposite Liu Siyan. She lowered her head and tugged at the corner of his police uniform. She whispered, ¡°I, I went there.¡± Bang! Liu Siyan mmed the table angrily. Liu Siyu was so scared that she quickly exined, ¡°I, I just went to take a look. No, I didn¡¯t participate in thepetition. I don¡¯t have the qualifications.¡± Liu Siyan pointed angrily at his disobedient sister. ¡°Since you like fighting so much, when you go home, do a hundred squats, a hundred push-ups, and a hundred sit-ups.¡± ¡°Ah? Brother, I was wrong. I can¡¯t do it!¡± Liu Siyu cried out bitterly. ¡­ At the Ji family home. It was very quiet at this moment, like the eve of a storm. Ji Wen had returned. He was limping as he was dragged into the study. Fang Xiaonuan was curled up in the living room, sitting next to Old Master Ji. ¡°Xiaonuan, why did youe home sote today? Lingchen came back early to wait for you. I haven¡¯t been able to find you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was very upset. She must have gone out today without looking at his schedule. What bad luck! In the study, Ji Lingchen stared at Ji Wen with an imposing manner and asked coldly, ¡°Tell me, what¡¯s her code name?¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan doesn¡¯t have a code name, and she wasn¡¯tthere either,¡± Ji Wen said stubbornly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes turned colder, and his voice was filled with a sense of oppression. ¡°It seems that I was a little too lenient!¡± Ji Wen raised his head to look at his overbearing uncle. He still said stubbornly, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan didn¡¯t go today. She doesn¡¯t know that ce at all.¡± ¡°Ji Wen, why don¡¯t you try telling another lie?¡± Ji Lingchen threatened.

Ji Wen faced his uncle¡¯s oppression. ¡°I¡¯ve already said that Fang Xiaonuan didn¡¯t go with me today. I was the only one who went there to y.¡± Taking the risk of being beaten and punished, Ji Wen bore the brunt of Ji Lingchen¡¯s fury alone. Ji Lingchen had not settled one thing, but another hade. He walked out of the study and came to the railing. He shouted at the guilty Fang Xiaonuan downstairs, ¡°Come up now!¡± Fang Xiaonuan knew he was calling her, but she did not dare to move and could only pretend to be deaf. ¡°Must I keep calling your name before youe up? Or should I go down and ask you toe up?¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. She slowly got up, lowered her head, and slowly walked upstairs to report to her husband. Upstairs, Fang Xiaonuan was leaning against the wall, not getting close to Ji Lingchen. Her small hands were awkwardly pressed against the wall as if she wanted to make a hole in the wall. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were fixed on her. Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s arm, pulling her into the study. Ji Wen saw that Fang Xiaonuan was also being dragged in, and immediately said loudly, ¡°Uncle, I already said that Fang Xiaonuan didn¡¯t go today. I went alone to y there. Why did you catch her?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen, surprised that he had taken the me for her. She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself. ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°I just thought it was fun, so I went. Besides, you were able to go in, which means that you¡¯ve been there before. If you can go, why can¡¯t I go?¡± This was the first time Ji Wen had said such rebellious words to Ji Lingchen. Ji Wen had stopped Fang Xiaonuan from speaking. Ji Lingchen looked at his nephew. He would rather incriminate himself and defend his aunt. Ji Lingchen was frustrated. ¡°Get lost!¡± Ji Wen turned around and left bravely. Before he left, he shook his head slightly to remind Fang Xiaonuan not toe clean. After Ji Wen left, only the husband and wife were left in the study. ¡°Who did you switch clothes with today?¡± Ji Lingchen closed his eyes. He kept thinking about the marks on the girl¡¯s arm. Although the girl¡¯s clothes were the same as his wife¡¯s, she was definitely not her wife. Ji Lingchen saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s arm every day. How could he not have known if it was her? Therefore, the most likely possibility was that she had switched clothes with someone else today. Fang Xiaonuan gritted her teeth and shook her head. Liu Siyu did not allow her toe clean, and neither did Ji Wen. Ji Lingchen mmed the table hard and asked anxiously, ¡°Xiaonuan, who exactly did you lend the clothes to? Tell me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan still shook her head slightly. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, tell me immediately!¡± Ji Lingchen was furious and shouted at his little wife, whom he usually treated as a treasure. Other than the fact that they did not get along well when they were newlyweds, Fang Xiaonuan had always been doted on by Ji Lingchen as if she was precious to him. Now, he was suddenly yelling at her. She stood rooted to the spot and started crying. Her tears kept flowing, and she could not stop them no matter how hard she tried. She was just like a child who could only stand there and cry after being criticized by her parents. Fang Xiaonuan raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Ji Lingchen became even more agitated. He clenched his fists and rushed to his wife. He pressed his hands on her shoulders and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, quickly tell me who you switched clothes with. This matter is very important to me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was crying her eyes out. On one hand, she was not allowed to say anything because that was her best friend. On the other hand, her best friend was taking the me for her. Now that her husband was still questioning her, she really did not know how to answer him. She could only cry like a child. Ji Lingchen also realized that he had been a little impulsive. He forced himself to calm down. His little wife had been scared to tears by him. He should not have lost hisposure like this. Ji Lingchen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Looking at his tearful wife, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have yelled at you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan choked and said, ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry, hubby.¡± ¡°No, don¡¯t be,¡± Ji Lingchenforted his little wife in his arms. At this moment, Ji Lingchen suddenly received a call. He put on his jacket and prepared to go out. Fang Xiaonuan chased after him with tears in her eyes. ¡°Hubby, where are you going?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I have some matters to attend to. I¡¯m going out for a while. You should go back to the room first. It¡¯s cold outside, so I won¡¯t being back tonight.¡± With that, he drove away. He did not even know that his little wife was standing there in tears. Feng Qi heard themotion outside and went downstairs to take a look. She happened to see her sister-inw standing at the door in her thin pajamas. She immediately brought her into the house. ¡°Xiaonuan, tell me what happened?¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged Feng Qi and cried, ¡°Sister-inw, my husband is ignoring me.¡± Chapter 206 - Getting Beaten Up

¡°Don¡¯t cry, be good. I¡¯ll talk to Lingchen tomorrow. He must be too busy with work. Otherwise, why would he ignore you?¡± Feng Qiforted her. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head slightly. ¡°No, he already hates me because I lied to him.¡± Feng Qi could onlyfort her. At Blue Water Luxury Court. Ji Lingchen arrived and there was a thick stack of documents in front of him. There were at least fifty pages there. He picked up one of the documents and nced at it. Then, he threw it to the side. Then, he picked up another one and threw it to the side. ¡°CEO, here is the information about those who participated in thepetition tonight. There¡¯s no difference between any of them. They¡¯re all here,¡± Assistant Liu said. Ji Lingchen continued to look through the information. He could not find what he wanted and threw most of them on the ground. Finally, he saw Ji Wen¡¯s information. His code name was ¡°Master Ji¡±. This included Ji Wen¡¯sbat strength analysis. Ji Lingchen nced at it with disdain. Then, he threw Ji Wen¡¯s file into Assistant Liu¡¯s hands. ¡°He¡¯s not allowed to enter thepetition in the future.¡± ¡°Yes. Go back and remove Young Master Ji Wen¡¯s information from their system,¡± Assistant Liu said. Ji Lingchen continued to flip through the documents. ¡°What about Madam¡¯s information?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Assistant Liu asked, confused. Ji Lingchen asked again, ¡°What about Madam¡¯s information?¡± Assistant Liu immediately became terrified. ¡°CEO, her information isn¡¯t here.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned and looked at Assistant Liu. ¡°Did her information just disappear?¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°There really isn¡¯t anything about her here, unless she is a contestant from the advanced field. In that case, all her information will be sealed and kept confidential.¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. The delicate girl in his house was so harmless that her attempts at wing someone were like scratching an itch. He did not expect her to be a contestant from the advanced tier in Silver Field. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Go and investigate immediately.¡± Assistant Liu immediately nodded and said, ¡°CEO, I need the highest order.¡± Ji Lingchen immediately took out a piece of A4 paper from the table, wrote down a few numbers, and handed it to Assistant Liu. ¡­ Jiangnan residence. ¡°27,28, continue. Don¡¯t you likepetitions? I¡¯ll help you train now. When you¡¯re almost done, you can participate in thepetitions.¡± Liu Siyan stood to the side and let Liu Siyu continue the squatting exercises. Liu Siyu was doing squats in the living room with her hands on her head. She wanted to cry but had no more tears. ¡°Brother, my legs are numb. I can¡¯t do it anymore.¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Don¡¯t stop. Continue.¡± Liu Siyu stood up with difficulty, then squat again. In the end, she really could not do it anymore. Liu Siyan lifted her up by her cor. ¡°My good brother, the best brother in the world. Please spare me this time. I won¡¯t dare to do it again in the future,¡± Liu Siyu pleaded. ¡°Liu Siyu, cut the cr*p. Didn¡¯t you swearst time?¡± Liu Siyu hugged Liu Siyan¡¯s arm and leaned on him. ¡°Brother, I didn¡¯t keep my word, but I¡¯m serious this time.¡± Liu Siyan did not believe her at all. ¡°29, continue.¡± Liu Siyu could only lie on the ground and act like a scoundrel. She did not want to do it. Anyway, Liu Siyan could not do anything to her. Suddenly, her brother hit her thigh. She was wearing thin pajama pants. It hurt so much that Liu Siyu inhaled sharply. ¡°Brother! You actually hit me!¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Stand up and continue, or else I¡¯ll hit you again.¡± Liu Siyu was so angry that she wanted to break free from her restraints. However, her brother was holding her legs tightly, so she had no hope of escaping. ¡°Liu Siyan, I¡¯ll tell our parents. Do you think I won¡¯t?¡± Liu Siyu was lying on the ground. She picked up the phone and was about to make the call. Liu Siyan lurched forward and snatched the phone. Liu Siyu could move her legs a little, so she quickly got up. She hopped around and wanted to snatch the phone back. ¡°Give me back the phone. I want to call and tell them how you¡¯re bullying me.¡± Liu Siyan¡¯s face was gloomy. Bullying her? He suddenly no longer felt that she was his little princess! He asked inly, ¡°Are you really going to call?¡± Liu Siyu nodded angrily. Since she wanted to make the call, Liu Siyan took Liu Siyu¡¯s phone and found their parents¡¯ number. ¡°Perfect. I¡¯ll also tell them what you did today.¡± Liu Siyu immediately panicked. This was not possible. If her parents found out that she went to a ce like that, all three of them would punish her. ¡°Brother, my good brother, don¡¯t hit me.¡± Liu Siyu hurriedly stopped him. She wrapped her arms around Liu Siyan¡¯s neck and made him bend down. She took the opportunity to snatch her phone. ¡°Brother, we are even on this matter. Don¡¯tin. I won¡¯t tell them you hit me. How about it?¡± Chapter 207 - A Woman in His Previous Life

Liu Siyan did not listen at all. At this moment, the call was connected. ¡°Hello, Xiaoyu, do you miss me?¡± Mrs. Liu¡¯s gentle voice came from the phone. Liu Siyan said, ¡°Mother, it¡¯s me. I have something to tell you.¡± Liu Siyu became even more flustered. She tiptoed and kissed Liu Siyan¡¯s face a few times. Liu Siyan was at a loss for words. Feeling the wetness on his face, he turned to look at the girl beside him in surprise. ¡°Liu Siyu, you have no shame.¡± Liu Siyu pleaded softly, ¡°My good brother, I¡¯m begging you. I know my mistake. Don¡¯t tell Mom. I¡¯ll definitely listen to you.¡± She did not know why she had kissed Liu Siyan on the cheek, but there was a vague memory in her mind. When she was young, whenever she had done something wrong, she would kiss her family member and be spared from punishment. ¡°Hey, Xiaoyu, son, what happened? Did you get into a fight again? Xiaoyu is a girl, and she is your sister. Why are you bullying her?¡± Liu Siyu cautiously put her hands together and begged Liu Siyan not to tell her parents. Liu Siyan could do nothing about her. He simply threw the phone to Liu Siyu and turned to go back to his room. Liu Siyu held the phone and immediately put it to her ear. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s nothing. I just miss you. How long will it take for you and Dad toe back? Liu Siyan always bullies me when you¡¯re not around.¡± Liu Siyan, who had not gone far, was speechless Sure enough, women were good at lying. He could not believe it at all! The mother and daughter chatted for a while. They actually talked on the phone for half an hour. Liu Siyan entered the room again. ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± ¡°Brother, Mom said that if you dare to bully me at home, she¡¯ll definitely teach you a lesson when she gets back,¡± Liu Siyu threatened. ¡°That¡¯s not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about your boundaries,¡± Liu Siyan said seriously. ¡°Although I¡¯m your brother, we¡¯re already adults. If you kiss me like that, people willugh at you.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there tough about? You¡¯re my biological brother, so what if I kiss you? Didn¡¯t I kiss you when we were kids? I¡¯d kiss Dad too.¡± Liu Siyan pointed at her and continued his lecture. ¡°Liu Siyu, you have to be more careful about this in the future.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it. You¡¯re so long-winded. I even suspect that you were a woman in your previous life.¡± Liu Siyu pursed her lips. Liu Siyan was burning with anger. He really wanted to teach his sister a lesson. He said angrily, ¡°Grandfather is now in the hospital in his hometown. Father and Mother are apanying grandfather. I¡¯m going to pay him a visit in the next two days. Since you don¡¯t want me to interfere in your life, you can stay at home by yourself this week.¡± ¡°No, brother. I want to go with you too.¡± Liu Siyu instantly came to Liu Siyan¡¯s side and spoke coquettishly. Liu Siyan nced at her. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be free? You¡¯re free now. I won¡¯t care about you in the future.¡± ¡°Mm, no. Brother, you should still care about me. Don¡¯t be angry!¡± As she said this, Liu Siyu pretended to be obedient. She casually pinched Liu Siyan¡¯s shoulder a few times. ¡°Although I always say that you¡¯re not good, I know in my heart that you¡¯re the best brother in the world. No one treats me better than you. I love you.¡± Seeing that Liu Siyan was indifferent, Liu Siyu could only continue to coax him and say nice things. He even refused to let Liu Siyan sleep and kept insisting that he bring her on the trip back to their hometown. When Liu Siyan did not agree, she grabbed his nket and insisted on sleeping next to him. She kept nagging him in his ear. In the end, Liu Siyan could not take it anymore and he hit his sister again. Liu Siyu cried after she got hit again. Liu Siyan tried to coax her for a long time but to no avail. He could only say helplessly, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll bring you with me.¡± She instantly stopped crying. Since he had agreed, Liu Siyu took her nket and left his room. Liu Siyan watched his sister leave and felt that he had been deceived. However, he had no evidence. Liu Siyu¡¯s crisis was averted because she had acted coquettishly. She was so thick-skinned. However, her best friend, Fang Xiaonuan, could not sleep at all. She kept the lights on and sat by the bed, staring at the door as she waited for Ji Lingchen toe home. However, Ji Lingchen did note back. Fang Xiaonuan called her husband and Ji Lingchen picked up the phone. ¡°It¡¯s sote, why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± Fang Xiaonuan cried, ¡°If you don¡¯te back, I won¡¯t be able to sleep.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Go to sleep, I still have things to do.¡± ¡°Hubby, can youe back and do them?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked tentatively. She did not know why, but when she saw her hubby so angry, she felt very ufortable. He had yelled at her. She still remembered that feeling. It felt like there was a huge weight on her heart. She could not move it, she could not break it, and she could not even breathe smoothly. Chapter 208 - Friendship of the Three

Ji Lingchen held a single page in his hand. As he read, he tried his best to speak in a gentle tone so as not to scare his little wife. ¡°Assistant Liu and I are busy with work. I¡¯m not meeting another woman. Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. Go to sleep.¡± After coaxing Fang Xiaonuan to hang up the phone, Ji Lingchen held the single page in his hand and read it more than ten times! Assistant Liu said somewhat anxiously, ¡°CEO, we also didn¡¯t expect that Madam¡¯s petite body would have such explosive power, right?¡± The information on the single page told him that his petite wife really packed a punch. As expected, Ji Lingchen did not return home for the entire night. The next day, the three friends met in the ssroom. Liu Siyu said happily, ¡°I¡¯m so happy that the three of us are still alive.¡± Ji Wen sighed and said, ¡°Wrong. The two of you are still alive. I¡¯m dead.¡± Fang Xiaonuany on the table without saying a word. She even closed her eyes as she listened to the lecture. Liu Siyu patted Ji Wen and asked softly, ¡°What happened to Xiaonuan?¡± ¡°My uncle must have taught her a lesson,¡± Ji Wen replied. Liu Siyu immediately went to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s side and asked, ¡°Did Ji Lingchen beat you upst night?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not even open her eyes. She just shook her head. Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Then did he scold you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan kept shaking her head. Liu Siyu continued to guess. ¡°Do you think she¡¯s upset about forfeiting thepetition yesterday?¡± ¡°Xiaoyu, my husband is ignoring me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice was hoarse. She leaned on the table and cried, ¡°Last night, he went back to the office to work overtime instead of staying home with me. I made a mistake and I admitted it, but he just wouldn¡¯t listen.¡± ¡°This morning, I called him, and he answered and said he was busy. Why are rtionships so hard? If only I were single. Then, I wouldn¡¯t care about his feelings.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°How did you admit your mistake? Did you admit that you are ¡®Nan Nan¡¯, or did you just admit to being a contestant in thepetition? You would also have to exin how you found that ce, who told you about it, and why you participated in thepetition. Have you thought about how to exin all this?¡± Liu Siyu frowned. She looked at her best friend who was in so much pain. ¡°Xiaonuan, if this is too much, just tell CEO Ji that I brought you there. If your husbandes looking for me, I¡¯ll tell him that my brother brought me there. My brother definitely won¡¯t ignore me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again. ¡°No need. If I continue to lie to him, I¡¯ll only feel worse.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Then don¡¯t say anything. I¡¯ve already been beaten up. I don¡¯t want that to be in vain. Just pretend that you didn¡¯t go yesterday. I¡¯m the only one who went.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned. ¡°Ji Wen, why are you taking the me for me?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°You didn¡¯t even tell your parents about this, but you told me and Siyu. Since you trust me so much, I¡¯ll take the me for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the righteous Ji Wen and said guiltily, ¡°Xiaowen, I¡¯m sorry for leaving you behind yesterday.¡± It would have been better if she had not mentioned it. However, Ji Wen was furious when she mentioned it! However, if it were him, he would have made the same choice. After all, he was Ji Lingchen¡¯s nephew. He would only be beaten up! ¡­ In the afternoon, Ji Lingchen returned home. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were already at home. Seeing Ji Lingchen return, Fang Xiaonuan immediately ran to him. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re back.¡± Ji Lingchen saw the wariness in her eyes. He reached out to hug his wife, but quickly let go. ¡°Be good. I still have things to do. Go entertain yourself for a while.¡± Then, he pointed at Ji Wen and said loudly, ¡°Get your *ss up here right now.¡± Ji Wen sat on the sofa, leisurely ying on the phone. When he heard his uncle call him, he immediately got up and followed Ji Lingchen upstairs to the study. ¡°Uncle, if you want to teach me a lesson, you should have said so earlier. Don¡¯t make me worry.¡± Ji Wen was just short of entering the small dark room to receive his punishment. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are doing, but I¡¯m warning you. If anything happens to your aunt, I¡¯ll settle the score with you. Don¡¯t even think about going to that ce again.¡± Ji Wen thought of his uncle¡¯s valiant wife. Would she listen to him? If Fang Xiaonuan listened to him, she would have turned over a new leaf long ago. She would not have exploited him for so many years. ¡°Do you understand?¡± Ji Lingchen asked coldly. Ji Wen did not dare to agree. If he did and did not keep to his word, his uncle would only punish him even more harshly. He might as well not agree from the start. At this moment, someone knocked on the study door. A soft voice probed, ¡°Hubby, can Ie in?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Uncle, she was waiting for you all nightst night. Today, she was crying on the table at school.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned when he heard this. Had he not told her to sleep firstst night? However, how could she fall asleep so easily when she was thinking about someone? Chapter 209 - Admitting Mistakes

Ji Wen continued, ¡°Uncle, we¡¯ve known each other for so many years. You¡¯re the only person I know who can affect the way she feels. Your emotions affect her emotions, and she remembers everything you say. Whenever we talk about you, she¡¯ll always smile and won¡¯t let us speak ill of you. Only she can talk about you like that. ¡°Only she can tyrannically ce you in her world. We¡¯re all outsiders. She loves you so much. You should be able to feel it.¡± Hearing these words, Ji Lingchen was clearly stunned. Although he knew that his little wife loved him, hearing these words from his nephew left him extremely shocked. After the shock wore off, he was overjoyed. Perhaps this was what it felt like when two people shared feelings for each other. Ji Wen said affirmatively, ¡°You are her first love. She has never been in a rtionship before, so she doesn¡¯t know this is love at all. But people outside the rtionship like us can see that she has never cared this much about someone else before. Ever since you started ignoring her yesterday, she has been extremely sad. When she woke up in the morning, the first thing she did was ask you when you would be back. In the afternoon, she kept looking at her phone. She didn¡¯t even eat her favorite snacks. When she came home, she spent time watching the door. When you came back, she was very careful, afraid that she would make you unhappy again.¡± ¡°If you hug her, she¡¯ll be happy. If you ignore her, she¡¯ll be sad again. Uncle, in a rtionship, a partner will only be this cautious if they love the other person very much. You like her too. Why can¡¯t you treat her well?¡± Ji Wen was not a fool. He could tell how much his uncle felt for his aunt. A man who had sworn to never marry suddenly changed into a man who hugged his wife and doted on her very much. Usually, he would always caress her, and asionally, he would even give her a few kisses. In order tofort her, he would do everything he could to make her happy. He even personally taught her how to drive. He even yed with dirt with her even though he was a neat freak. ¡­ There were too many instances that proved Ji Lingchen¡¯s love for Xiaonuan. Both of them clearly cared so much about each other. ¡°I didn¡¯t ignore her.¡± Ji Lingchen spoke after a moment of silence. He did not remember the girl he saw yesterday. He only remembered the bite marks on her arm. However, who would be filled with love if the person they had been searching for, for more than ten years, suddenly appeared in front of them? Ji Lingchen was not very emotional in love. His feelings for his wife would not stand in the way of what he wanted to do. Now, there were more important things for him to investigate. If he missed this opportunity, there was no telling when he would get another chance. Therefore, he had ignored his wife first. Fang Xiaonuan stood at the door with a ss of water and waited for a long time. In the end, she hung her head in low spirits. She guessed that her husband was still unwilling to forgive her. She turned around and was about to leave when the door opened. Ji Lingchen looked at her. ¡°In the past, when you entered my study, you were never polite. Why did you learn to knock and ask if you cane in today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said softly, ¡°Husband, I didn¡¯t make mistakes in the past. I didn¡¯t feel guilty then.¡± Therefore, every time she came, she would casually say something and walk in. But now that she had done something wrong, she was here to admit her mistake. Of course, she had to correct her attitude. Ji Lingchen looked at the cup in her hand. It was still steaming. He was afraid that it would burn her hand, so he immediately took it with one hand. With the other hand. he pulled her into the study. Ji Lingchen nced at Ji Wen and said impatiently, ¡°Hurry up and get lost.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Uncle, if you¡¯re not punishing me, I will¡­¡± ¡°I will supervise you for a day in the small dark room,¡± Ji Lingchen said indifferently. Ji Wen was so annoyed that he wanted to pull out his tongue and throw it into the trash can. He could have just left, but he had to ask for a punishment. He had a big mouth. After Ji Wen left, Ji Lingchen put down the cup and sat down on the sofa with his little wife. Her eyes were teary and she was being evasive. She did not dare to look at him. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t punish Xiaowen,¡± Fang Xiaonuan pleaded on behalf of Ji Wen. Ji Lingchen kissed her the moment she finished speaking. He was so familiar with her soft lips. He hugged her and kissed her for a long time before he was willing to part with her. ¡°I heard that my kitten cried because she missed me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan heard this doting tone and immediately felt mistreated. She whimpered coquettishly and said, ¡°Yes, she cried for a long time.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you sleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with a sobbing tone, ¡°You didn¡¯te back. My thoughts ran wild and I couldn¡¯t sleep.¡± Ji Lingchen stroked his wife¡¯s hair. ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I was only withAssistant Liu? There was no one else with me, much less a woman.¡± Chapter 210 - Arrogant Man

Fang Xiaonuan said in a sobbing voice, ¡°But you yelled at me yesterday¡­¡± Ji Lingchen quickly pulled his wife into his arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I will never do that again.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sessfully turned the tables once again. She was clearly here to apologize to her husband, but she vented out her grievances. In the end, it was Ji Lingchen who apologized to her. She looked at her husband¡¯s lips. For the first time, she took the initiative to kiss him. ¡°Husband, let¡¯s move past this.¡± She was no longer angry at Ji Lingchen for using a woman to trick her into being jealous. Ji Lingchen also wanted to forget about her participating in the Silver Fieldpetition. It was the best of both worlds! Fang Xiaonuan felt that this idea was especially good. Unfortunately, it was already toote. Ji Lingchen had already found out about everything his little wife had done behind her backst night. He looked at the mischievous little girl. She was clearly so soft andzy, his cute little kitten. How did she be a high-level boxer in Silver Field? And she was quite famous in there! Ji Wen had asked him before, ¡°Uncle, how do you know about Silver Field?¡± Liu Siyu knew that her brother was very controlling and would find out where she had been and what she had been doing. Therefore, she had used fake information to prevent her brother from finding out. The fact that they had gone to the hotel to get a room was actually a cover. Even if her uncle had really found out about his and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s room records, he should have gone to the hotel room first. But why had he gone directly to the underground arena? Plus, it was Silver Field. Anyone who was not participating in some way would not know about it. There was only one possibility. Ji Lingchen was at least an expert at the intermediate stage in Silver Field! Otherwise, it was impossible for Ji Lingchen to have the qualifications to enter such a high-levelpetition. Everyone who was at the arena had to swipe a card to enter. If they did not have the qualifications, the door would not open. ¡°Uncle, do you have a diamond card?¡± Ji Wen felt that only a diamond card was worthy of his uncle¡¯s status. Ji Lingchen was speechless. How could a person like him be bound by the rules set by others? ording to the rules, those who made it to the first ce would get the diamond card. He was one of the people who set the rules. How could he be interested in a mere diamond card? He was the one who issued the diamond card! He was the behind-the-scenes boss of Silver Field! If the person who held the diamond card was the king of the silver field, then he was the god who created the king! Ji Lingchen nced at his nephew, who had no vision, and told him to get out immediately. He wanted to speak to his wife alone. ¡­ Back to the present, facing his little wife who was acting coquettishly, Ji Lingchen said softly, ¡°Xiaonuan, you can¡¯t go to ces like that again in the future.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and did not say a word. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to see Silver Field disappear, stay home obediently from now on.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. Easily? He could make Silver Field disappear? There were nine levels and thousands of contestants. They had taken decades to grow to their current scale. How could her husband make them disappear just like that? Men were too arrogant! Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯m serious.¡± Silver Field affected his kitten. It did not matter to him if it disappeared. He did not say a word. He was silent. Inside, Ji Lingchen and his wife talked for a long time. They talked about boxing a lot. She listened with a serious expression, but in her heart, she wasining, ¡®I¡¯m not listening, I¡¯m not listening. Son of a b*tch.¡¯ ¡°Xiaonuan, what did I say?¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly asked. She was stunned. ¡®D*mn it, he didn¡¯t say that there would be a test!¡¯ She had not been listening at all! CEO Ji looked at his wife¡¯s expression and understood. What he had been saying was probably going in one ear and out the other. This waspletely pointless. ¡­ Now that Ji Lingchen had returned home, it was time to settle the score. The first person to stand up for Fang Xiaonuan would always be Old Master Ji. Old Master Ji pointed angrily at Ji Lingchen and said, ¡°You heartless person. Xiaonuan is so good, yet you yelled at her until she cried. If you anger my daughter-inw and make her run away, you can get out of this house!¡± Ji Lingchen frowned and said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ve alreadyforted her.¡± Old Master Ji had prepared a long lecture, but before he could start, he was forced to swallow his words. ¡°So quickly? It wouldn¡¯t be settled this fast, right?¡± Old Master Ji had a doubtful look on his face. He turned to Fang Xiaonuan, who was standing beside Ji Lingchen. She nodded and said, ¡°Dad, it¡¯s really settled.¡± Old Master Ji was instantly a little disappointed. He had clearly prepared a ton of curses for his son, but before he could say anything, they had already made up. Wasn¡¯t it too fast? They had made up in less than a day! He pursed his lips and was very unhappy. But when he thought about it, he did not believe that Ji Lingchen would not make mistakes in the future. Sooner orter, he would have the opportunity to curse at him again. Not long after Old Master Ji left, Feng Qi also came over. Fang Xiaonuan even pleaded for Ji Wen¡¯s freedom on behalf of her sister-inw. She wanted to help get Ji Wen out of the dark room. Chapter 211 - It’s Done

Unexpectedly, Feng Qi walked up to the two of them and said, ¡°Lingchen, Xiaonuan is still young. How could you just drive awayst night and leave her crying at the door?¡± Ji Lingchen frowned and looked at his wife. ¡°You cried after I leftst night?¡± She grabbed the corner of her husband¡¯s shirt and nodded. ¡°I was sad. I thought you didn¡¯t want to talk to me anymore.¡± Ji Lingchen had no idea that something like that happenedst night. If he had known, how could he have left? ¡°You¡¯re her man. You have to treat her better. Don¡¯t make her cry every now and then. To make your rtionshipst, you need to lead a peaceful marriage.¡± Feng Qi said earnestly. Feng Qi mistakenly thought that Ji Lingchen had bullied Fang Xiaonuanst night and made her cry. She continued, ¡°You have to pamper Xiaonuan in the future. If she gets angry and runs away, you won¡¯t easily find another good wife like her.¡± CEO Ji nced at his ¡°good wife¡±. His wife lowered her head guiltily. She knew that she had started it this time, but she did not know how to exin it. ¡°Sister-inw, my husband and I have already reconciled,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Feng Qi looked at her sister-inw who was leaning against Ji Lingchen as if he was looking at a poor little girl who had been bullied. Only Fang Xiaonuan knew that she was pretending to be pitiful. Even if she was wrong, as long as she was crying, she would seem like the victim to everyone. ¡°Hubby just kissed me, and he even hugged me,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said shyly. CEO Ji stayed silent. Feng Qi thought to herself, ¡®Young people nowadays are really passionate.¡¯ Feng Qi smiled and shook her head, then turned around and left. Fang Xiaonuan was a little confused. Didn¡¯t her sister-inwe to plead for Ji Wen¡¯s freedom? Why did she leave just like that? After a while, Mayor Ji also came to the door of the study. He opened the door slightly and was about to enter when he saw therge ¡°decoration¡± on his younger brother¡¯s leg. Fang Xiaonuan immediately stood up and shyly moved away from her husband. ¡°Are we good?¡± Mayor Ji asked directly. Ji Lingchen nodded. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± ¡°Done¡± meant that there had been a conflict initially. ¡°Done¡± meant that he had bullied Xiaonuan previously. Hearing Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, Mayor Ji did not say anything more. He turned around and closed the door. Before he left, he even locked the door behind him. In that case, no matter how hard the two of them struggled inside, no one would disturb them. Mayor Ji even deliberately instructed the maids at home, ¡°Don¡¯t go to the study room to disturb the young master¡¯s ¡®work¡¯.¡± In the study. Fang Xiaonuan sat on her husband¡¯sp again. She wrapped her arms around Ji Lingchen¡¯s neck. ¡°Hubby, they¡¯re going to misunderstand¡­¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°That¡¯s normal.¡± The kitten in his arms stuck out her tongue. She said, ¡°Hubby, I realized something. The maids were right. I am clingy. I like to cling to you. When you¡¯re not at home, I want to look for you. When I can¡¯t find you, I want to go where you are. Am I annoying?¡± CEO Ji was overjoyed. How could he be annoyed? He lowered his head and kissed his wife. He could only pacify his desire this way after all. After the passionate kiss, Ji Lingchen did not leave her lips. The hot air he exhaled hit Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s lips. ¡°Xiaonuan, for the rest of your life, you have to cling to me, understand?¡± With that, he kissed her again. Fang Xiaonuanined, ¡°If you kiss me again, my lips will tear.¡± Hearing this, CEO Ji could only start to attack her little tongue. This time, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯sining turned into moaning. Her little tongue could not escape him. Not long after, she was kissed into a daze. Even when tworge hands closed around her waist, she did not notice it at all. The two hands continued to feel her up until her chest felt warm. Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize that something was wrong. She immediately pushed her husband¡¯s hands away. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re acting like a hooligan!¡± CEO Ji was so engrossed in the kiss that he wished he could carry his wife to the sofa, lie on top of her and bully her. The couple had reconciled, but because of a kiss, they almost went off the rails. After returning to the bedroom, Ji Lingchen immediately went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Fang Xiaonuan covered herself with the nket and muttered to herself, ¡°You can¡¯t me me for this. You¡¯re the one who was too excited about the kiss!¡± Ji Lingchen, who was taking a shower, closed his eyes. In the past, he had no intention of having a rtionship and was quitefortable with it. However, ever since he got married, that sense offort was gone! In the past, he did not have such desires. Now, he craved her body every day. However, even with her body in her arms, he was not allowed to have her! Were the heavens testing his control? Chapter 212 - The Capabilities of a Good Wife

Ji Lingchen finished showering and walked out with a towel wrapped around his body. Actually, Fang Xiaonuan also coveted her husband¡¯s body. She silently nced at her husband¡¯s chest muscles and lecherously counted how many pecs he had. However, she did not dare to be too presumptuous. Ji Lingchen deliberately walked around the bedroom in a towel. Fang Xiaonuan was a little displeased. ¡°Hubby, put on some clothes. You shouldn¡¯t tempt me like that.¡± CEO Ji nced at his little wife on the bed. After he hadforted her, she immediately became sharp-tongued again. ¡°I¡¯m exercising my control every night now. Shouldn¡¯t you be training as well?¡± Ji Lingchen said indifferently. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Shameless b*stard.¡± CEO Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled. At this moment, his phone rang. CEO Ji picked up the call. ¡°Hello.¡± Fang Xiaonuan jumped off the bed and ran to him out of curiosity. She crawled off the bed very quickly and approached her husband, who was now on the phone. Ji Lingchen saw his wife getting closer and closer. He immediately said to the person on the other end of the phone, ¡°I¡¯ll go over tomorrow. I just coaxed my kitten to sleep today. I still have to coax it a little more tonight. Let¡¯s calm down first.¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and protested softly, ¡°Hubby, who are you talking? You¡¯re calling me your kitten again?¡± With her hubby showing off like that, it would not be long before everyone knew that the king of the business world, Ji Lingchen, had married a kitten. Fang Xiaonuan continued to listen to his side of the conversation. Ji Lingchen ignored her and continued, ¡°I didn¡¯t go homest night. The one at home missed me all night and her eyes were swollen from crying. If I leave home tonight, I don¡¯t think her eyes will survive.¡± The woman in question was at a loss for words. ¡°If she¡¯s not in a good mood, I won¡¯t be in the mood to work on anything. I¡¯ll just be thinking about her.¡± The kitten that her husband missed took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist. She did not care whether her husband was dressed or not. At this moment, she only wanted to hug her husband and look at him. Ji Lingchen chatted for a while more before hanging up. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the man¡¯s handsome face and asked with a smile, ¡°Husband, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip.¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He removed her soft hands from his waist. ¡°Go back and keep the bed warm. I¡¯ll pack my luggage first.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you pack,¡± Fang Xiaonuan took the initiative to say. She became clingy and followed her husband. ¡°You¡¯ll help me?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan immediately nodded. ¡°Hubby, just you wait. As your good wife, I have to be capable.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan dragged the suitcase into the cloakroom. She picked a few shirts and jackets of different thicknesses and stacked them neatly into the suitcase, then, she took out socks and underwear from a drawer at the side. ¡°Hubby, how many days will you be gone?¡± ¡°About five days,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan immediately took out six pairs of socks and six pairs of underwear and put them in a smaller storage bag. Then, she put them into the suitcase. After working for more than twenty minutes, Fang Xiaonuan pped her hands. ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s all packed. Let¡¯s see how it goes.¡± Ji Lingchen watched the whole process from the door and was quite satisfied. ¡°You must have helped someone else pack their luggage in the past. Otherwise, how could you be so skilled?¡± Ji Lingchen asked tentatively. Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to let her husband misunderstand. ¡°I saw my mother do this for my father all the time. I picked it up from her.¡± CEO Ji was very satisfied with this answer. His wife had packed his luggage for him the first time. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve never been in love before, and I¡¯ve never liked anyone else. You¡¯re my first love.¡± Ji Lingchen was even more satisfied when he heard this. ¡°Then, am I also your first love?¡± The cunning Xiaonuan had also learned how to trick her hubby. ¡°If you¡¯ve ever had a secret love, then so be it.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. This little fool. He could not bring himself to admit that she was his first love at thirty years old. CEO Ji did not say a word. He turned around and walked out. Fang Xiaonuan immediately chased after him. ¡°Hubby, be fair. You have to tell me too!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t you already know how I¡¯m feeling?¡± Of course, Fang Xiaonuan knew how much her hubby loved her, but in her heart, she also wondered if her hubby had loved other girls in the past. ¡°Apart from me, have you doted on anyone else?¡± Ji Lingchen looked lovingly at the kitten that belonged to him. ¡°Xiaonuan, I fall in love for a reason.¡± ¡°A reason? What reason?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Ji Lingchen confessed tactfully, ¡°Of course, I want her to stay by my side.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly understood what her husband meant. ¡°Okay, husband. As long as you love me, I will always be by your side.¡± Chapter 213 - Ji Xiaoyu

Ji Lingchen went to change into his pajamas and got into bed. Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband was already in bed. She seemed to have suddenly remembered something and quickly ran to the bedside. She took a book from under her pillow, she stuffed it into her husband¡¯s suitcase. ¡°I almost forgot about it. Without it, my husband wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well at night!¡± Ji Lingchen smiled. He tidied up his pillow and patted his side. ¡°Come over and sleep. I didn¡¯t sleepst night. I can¡¯t stay upte tonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan hopped into bed. After turning off the lights, she rested her head on her husband¡¯s arm, then she said softly, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m your wife. Don¡¯t yell at me anymore. If you yell at me again, I won¡¯t bear your child!¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°Did I scare you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded, feeling wronged. ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had not slept for more than thirty hours. When she returned to her husband¡¯s arms, she fell asleep in less than a minute. Ji Lingchen hugged her for more than half an hour before he gently pulled himself out from the nkets. He stuffed the pillow under his wife¡¯s head and tucked her in before he quietly walked out of the bedroom. ¡­ In Old Master Ji¡¯s room. ¡°1v5, y your cards! This person is too stupid. He doesn¡¯t even know how to cooperate with his teammates!¡± Old Master Ji was ying another game that his daughter-inw had rmended to him. It was called Fight the Landlord. He had yed a lot of online games. He had finally won hundreds of thousands of gaming currency, but he had lost all of it in one go! He nned to win it back. ¡°He¡¯s so stupid. If he yed 1v5, he would have won! What horrible teammates! Pui! I¡¯m going to y at another table!¡± At this moment, Ji Lingchen knocked on the door. ¡°Dad,e out for a while.¡± Old Mater Ji was in a rage. ¡°Your dad is asleep!¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. He said, ¡°Come to my study in five minutes.¡± After saying that, Ji Lingchen left. Hearing this, Old Master Ji scolded, ¡°Brat, you still want to treat me like this? In your dreams!¡± Then, five minutester, Old Master Ji went to his son¡¯s study with a reluctant expression. ¡°Eh? You¡¯re here too?¡± Mayor Ji was sitting in his brother¡¯s study as well. After Old Master Ji entered the room, Ji Lingchen closed the study door. He sat opposite the two of them and asked solemnly, ¡°Dad, brother, I ran into Xiaoyu.¡± Hearing this, Old Master Ji also understood the importance of this matter. No wonder his son asked the two of them toe to the study. At the mention of the name that had always been taboo in the Ji family, the atmosphere in the room instantly turned extremely cold. Old Master Ji remained silent and did not say anything. Mayor Ji spoke first. ¡°Lingchen, could you have made a mistake? It has already been fifteen years. Even if Xiaoyu was standing in front of you, you might not be able to recognize her.¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. ¡°I definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize her face. However, I wouldn¡¯t forget the scar on her arm that she got from the bite mark.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his father and brother and said solemnly, ¡°I definitely was not mistaken. I even grabbed her hand. Dad, big brother, Xiaoyu has been waiting for us!¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s expression became serious. The mischievous look from before had disappeared. At the mention of the girl, his hand trembled. ¡°Lingchen, I think you should let this go.¡± This was the love a father had for his child. Ji Lingchen looked at his father in disappointment. ¡°Dad, have you forgotten? Back then, you traded information about Xiaoyu for my agreeing to marry Xiaonuan. You know very well whether the information is true or not.¡± After the marriage, Old Master Ji gave him a copy of the information. He had studied it carefully. The information looked very real, but it was all fake. However, at that time, Xiaonuan had already be his little kitten, so he did not care about this matter. Even though he had been deceived by his father, his father had helped him find his little wife. He pretended that this had never happened. However, this did not mean that he had given up on finding Xiaoyu. That day, he met Xiaoyu at Silver Field. He had already grabbed her arm, but she had still escaped. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m going to another city for a few days to look for her,¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly said. Ji Lingchen continued to sift through the financial records. In the end, he reduced the number of people to 42. These people were all in different cities, so he decided to look for them personally. Old Master Ji knew that Ji Lingchen had found out that the information he was given was falsified. ¡°Lingchen, haven¡¯t you considered that Xiaoyu might not be here anymore?¡± Ji Lingchen had just said that he had seen Ji Xiaoyu. How could he believe that his sister was no longer alive! Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Dad, she is your daughter!¡± It was one thing that his father was not willing to search for her. However, why did have to tell him that Xiaoyu was no longer alive? Chapter 214 - The Ji Family’s Misfortunes

Chapter 214: The Ji Family¡¯s Misfortunes

Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

When Old Master Ji thought of that tiny figure, tears welled up in his eyes. Yes, that was his daughter, his own daughter who had been gone for fifteen years. He really wanted to find her. Just like before, he would hug her after work, y with her, and listen to herugh. Thinking of this, Old Master Ji wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Xiaoyu¡¯s full name was Ji Xiaoyu, the youngest daughter of the Ji family. She was very loved by everyone. She was the younger sister of Mayor Ji and Ji Lingchen. They lost her when they were young. In fact, their mother had missed her so much that she became ill and passed away from heartache. This caused unending pain for Ji Lingchen. He hung his head, and what happened so many years ago now reyed in his mind. That year, he had just turned thirteen and graduated from junior high school. He was holding his five-year-old sister in a dpidated building. He was bleeding and his body was covered in wounds. The two of them were surrounded by messy bricks and scattered ropes. Ji Xiaoyu was so scared that she kept crying. She reached out and pushed her unconscious second brother, she tried to wake him up. ¡°Brother, Daddy and our eldest brother will definitely find us. Open your eyes and check on me. Brother, I¡¯m scared.¡± Xiaoyu¡¯s body was covered in blood too, but it was Ji Lingchen¡¯s blood. In order to protect his sister, he was beaten up by the kidnappers. ¡°Xiaoyu, be good. Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll protect you without a doubt. I won¡¯t let the bad guys take you away,¡± Ji Lingchen replied in a delirious state. Although he was very weak, he held his sister tightly. He would not let his sister be taken away by the kidnappers. Ji Xiaoyu cried and said, ¡°Brother, if they take me away, Mom Dad, big brother and you must find me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be afraid.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You¡­ you won¡¯t be taken away. I won¡¯t let them take you away.¡± Ji Xiaoyu was very smart. A child¡¯s intuition was always very urate. She had a premonition that she would not be able to find her way home, so she kept crying. She searched her body, but she could not find a single mark. She cried even louder. She was afraid that she would change when she grew up. Then, her family would not even recognize her. So, after thinking for a long time, she deliberately bit her little arm. Even though she had already lost all her strength from crying, she still bit her arm hard, wanting to mark herself. Ji Lingchen used all his strength to pull her little arm away. ¡°Xiaoyu, you can¡¯t bite yourself.¡± Ji Xiaoyu refused to let go. She only stopped when her arm was bleeding. Then, she started to cry. ¡°Brother, it hurts.¡± Ji Lingchen hugged his sister and his heart ached for her. Tears were streaming down his face. ¡°I won¡¯t lose you. Even if I lose myself, I won¡¯t lose you, Xiaoyu.¡± However, the bad guys still found them. One of them picked up something hard and smashed it on Ji Lingchen¡¯s head. Before he lost consciousness, Ji Lingchen¡¯s ears were filled with his sister¡¯s cries. In his heart, he silently said, ¡°I will protect you.¡±. Then, hepletely lost consciousness. When he woke up again, his family told him that Xiaoyu had disappeared. Ji Lingchen wailed. He ran out of the house to look for his sister, but he could not find her at all. During that period of time, the entire Ji family was shrouded in darkness. The eldest brother of the Ji family vomited blood and fainted while driving around to look for his sister. He almost died in the car crash. That was because he had not slept well for more than a month. Madam Ji was also sick and had been in the hospital. Ji Lingchen also went missing from time to time. When he returned, he would go to the hospital to visit his mother and promise his mother that he would find his sister. Not long after, his mother passed away. Ji Lingchenpletely copsed. That was the darkest year of his life. That year, he lost his sister and his mother. On the night his wife passed away, a lot of Old Master Ji¡¯s hair became grey. It was as if he had aged ten years in one night. Ji Lingchen had never given up on searching for his sister. He had been searching for fifteen years. He had never stopped. Therefore, when he saw the child with a bite mark on her arm, he had to confirm it no matter what. Even if there was a small possibility, even if it was just a false joy, he had to go. ¡°Dad, brother, this will keep bothering me until the day I die. I need to find Xiaoyu,¡± Ji Lingchen said. When he was young, he was a gentle and cheerful young master from a wealthy family. But after that year¡¯s events, his personality changed dramatically, and he became how he was now. This was because he had always felt that it was his fault that his younger sister had gone missing. If he had been stronger, he would have been able to protect her. Around that time, he also established Silver Field. Afterward, he took over Ji Corporation, and then continued to expand it. He strengthened it and continued to search for his younger sister. But even with such power, finding a child who had been missing for fifteen years was still too difficult. In addition, in such a hopeless situation, it was even harder to persevere.

As the mayor, didn¡¯t his big brother want to find his sister? He did, but he did not continue the search. Old Master Ji also doted on his daughter, but he gave up in the end. Only Ji Lingchen persisted, and swore that he would never marry. He did not want his family to hold him back and stop him from finding his sister. Then, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s intrusion brought a ray of light into his life, melting his frozen heart after fifteen years. Since he had fallen in love with her, he could only try his best to bnce his family and his search for her. Hearing Ji Lingchen¡¯s words, Mayor Ji also shed some tears. The three pairs of eyes in the room were red. Ji Lingchen quickly swallowed his grief. He said to the two of them, ¡°In a few days, I¡¯m going to go look for her. While I¡¯m not here, please take care of Xiaonuan. Don¡¯t let her do anything dangerous. If she doesn¡¯t listen to you, give me a call.¡± He was constantly worried about his kitten. Whenever he left, he did not feel at ease. That was why he had to ask this of his family. Mayor Ji nodded and agreed to his brother¡¯s request. Old Master Ji asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°A total of three provinces and ten cities. I¡¯m checking all of them,¡± Ji Lingchen said. The three of them sat quietly for a long time before they got up and left. Ji Lingchen also returned to the bedroom. When he saw the soft and cuddly little woman on the bed, his heart softened as well. He felt close to her and she gave him warmth. He returned to his side of the bed, took the pillow away, and ced his arm under the girl¡¯s head. Fang Xiaonuan slept very soundly. She did not even know that she had been kissed. She dreamt that there was a huge piece of jelly at the side of her mouth. Without thinking, she pounced on it and took a bite. ¡°Mmm¡­ So delicious.¡± Ji Lingchen, who had been bitten, said, ¡°What are you eating in your dream? You just bit your husband¡¯s mouth.¡± Fang Xiaonuan mumbled in a daze, ¡°Hubby, mmm, delicious, hubby.¡± Ji Lingchen could not help butugh. ¡°So, in your dream, you¡¯re eating me.¡± Ji Lingchen turned off the wallmp and tucked his wife under the nket. He hugged the soft and sweet-smelling woman to sleep. Mayor Ji did not return to the bedroom. Instead, he returned to his father¡¯s room. ¡°Dad, I know that you must be hiding something from Lingchen. Please tell me the truth. Do you know where Xiaoyu Is?¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s tears immediately ran down his face. He could not even wipe them away. Mayor Ji understood his father. He did not give up easily. However, why did his father give up on searching for Xiaoyu? ¡°Where is Xiaoyu?¡± Mayor Ji asked. Old Master Ji was sobbing uncontrobly. After a long while, he said, ¡°Xiaoyu is with your mother.¡± Tears immediately welled up in Mayor Ji¡¯s eyes. ¡°Father! Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± He could not ept this answer. Old Master Ji wiped away his tears and asked his son, ¡°Son, how long have you been an official?¡± Mayor Ji thought for a moment. ¡°More than 25 years.¡± Old Master Ji asked again, ¡°Is it too much to say that Lingchen¡¯s wealth isparable to that of a country?¡± Mayor Ji fell silent. His younger brother¡¯s annual tax payment wasparable to the annual ie of many countries. It would not be a stretch to say that his wealth wasparable to that of a country. ¡°So, you have power, and your brother is wealthy. Does our family have no connections? Howe we haven¡¯t found any clues after so many years?¡± Old Master Ji¡¯s words made Mayor Ji realize something. He was already middle-aged and rarely had any emotional outbursts. However, right now, he was crying in front of his father like a child. ¡°When did you find out?¡± Mayor Ji asked. Old Master Ji said in pain, ¡°Your mother did not fall seriously ill because your sister was missing. She fell ill because she saw Xiaoyu¡¯s body. She couldn¡¯t take it and passed away the next day.¡± ¡°Your mother just died. How could I tell you and Lingchen about Xiaoyu?¡± After saying that, Old Master Ji¡¯s tears flowed uncontrobly. ¡°During that time, you didn¡¯t sleep for a few days and looked everywhere for Xiaoyu everywhere. Lingchen was also about to copse. I was afraid that if I told you the truth, you wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it.¡± At that time, the Ji family¡¯s eldest son already had a family, so it was slightly better. However, their youngest son seemed to have gone crazy. He was afraid that his youngest son would not be able to ept what happened, and that he might do something stupid. His wife had died because she had lost hope and her will to live. Therefore, Old Master Ji did not even dare to hold his daughter¡¯s funeral. This was for the sake of his sons. On the day his daughter was buried, only he and the butler were present. That day, he sat by his wife and daughter¡¯s tombstones for the entire day and the night that followed.

Every time Ji Lingchen went to look for Xiaoyu, he would always have hope. However, in the end, he was always disappointed. As more time passed, Old Master Ji said less and less about the matter. He would rather his second son think that his sister was still alive, so that his mental state would remain somewhat intact. If he lost his mental stability, then he would be like a walking corpse. Old Master Ji had been enduring this for the sake of his sons. He had given his son hope, and taken on the despair himself. This was also one of the reasons why he wanted his youngest son to start his own family. That way, once he was gone, his youngest son would not be alone. He would have a home. His eldest son was already a middle-aged man. It was time for him to learn the truth about these things. After he passed, his eldest son would be tasked with taking care of the graves of his wife and daughter. Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji talked untilte at night. Mayor Ji finally understood his father¡¯s good intentions. He went back to his room with red eyes. Feng Qi had been waiting for him, but she had fallen asleep. Her posture had not changed. She was holding a book, but she was asleep now. Mayor Ji walked over, lifted the quilt, and carried his wife to the bed. He looked at the woman in front of him who had been with him for many years and given him a family. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. Feng Qi woke up immediately and looked at her husband, whose eyes were red and swollen. ¡°Honey, why are you crying?¡± she asked, immediately getting up. Mayor Ji shook his head. ¡°No. An insect bit the area under my eyes. The swelling will go down tomorrow. Go to sleep.¡± Feng Qi knew that her husband did not want to say anything, so she did not ask any more questions. She got up and went to get an ice pack to help his swelling go down. Mayor Jiy on his wife¡¯sp. He could not fight the tears that welled up and fell into his wife¡¯sp. Feng Qi was heartbroken, but she still did not say anything. She just bent down and kissed her husband. Sheforted her husband in her own way. The next day, at dawn, Ji Lingchen went for an early morning jog. He even went to Ji Wen¡¯s bedroom on the way and pulled his nephew out of bed. Ji Wen had just escaped punishment in the dark roomst night. He asked with a confused expression, ¡°Uncle, what are you doing?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Come with me on a morning jog.¡± Ji Wen immediately understood that his uncle would give him trouble again. He could only obediently put on his clothes and go out with his uncle. The two of them ran around the courtyard of their home. Ji Lingchen warned, ¡°I won¡¯t be at home for the next few days. Take care of your school affairs. Also, don¡¯t go to Silver Field. If you dare to go there again, I¡¯lle home and break your legs!¡± Ji Wen stayed silent. Ji Lingchen continued, ¡°Also, remember to report Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s whereabouts and actions to me every day.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. Then wouldn¡¯t I be a traitor?¡± Ji Wen refused. As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle smacked the back of his head. ¡°I asked you to protect her well.¡± Ji Wen clutched the back of his head and grimaced in pain. ¡°She doesn¡¯t need me to protect her. It¡¯s more like she¡¯s protecting me.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Can you be useful? When Ie back, I¡¯ll find you a teacher. Learn to master Sanda.¡± Ji Wen said shamelessly, ¡°Even if I learn it, I won¡¯t be able to beat her.¡± Ji Lingchen stopped and turned to look at Ji Wen. ¡°Do you want to be a good-for-nothing?¡± Ji Wen shook his head. Ji Lingchen stayed silent. He already was pretty useless, but he was his nephew. He could not really beat him to death. After that, Ji Lingchen dragged Ji Wen on a few moreps before they went back inside. In the vi, Fang Xiaonuan woke up. The first thing she did when she woke up was to look for her husband. She wore her pajamas downstairs and asked everyone she ran into. ¡°Where¡¯s my husband?¡± The maid replied, ¡°He¡¯s standing right behind you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned around and saw her husband, who was all smiles. He was dressed in sportswear, and his eyes were filled with affection. ¡°My clingy wife is looking everywhere for me again, is she?¡± Ji Lingchen realized that every nickname he had given his wife thus far was especially appropriate! Fang Xiaonuan pouted and threw herself into her husband¡¯s arms. ¡°I thought you left for the business trip without saying goodbye to me. I wanted to see you off at the airport!¡± ¡°You can say goodbye to me after breakfast,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°Then, I¡¯m going to see you off!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen smiled briefly and said, ¡°Okay, then you have to eat quickly. After you send me off, you still have to go to ss.¡± After eating, Ji Wen ended up being the driver again. The lovebirds were cuddling in the backseat. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, you have to call me every day. You can only be around men!¡± Ji Lingchen hugged the young woman in his arms. ¡°Okay.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said worriedly, ¡°If a woman asks for your contact information, you can tell her that your wife won¡¯t let her have it!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°No problem!¡± Fang Xiaonuan reminded him, ¡°Also, when I¡¯m not by your side, don¡¯t drink too much. Men are prone to initiating sex after drinking. If you drink too much, make sure you kiss me!¡± Chapter 217 - Surprise or Fright

Ji Lingchen was speechless. He immediately recalled the scene from that day. That was the first time he had kissed his little wife. He had been drunk and felt that she was too noisy, so he started kissing her. After kissing her, he got addicted to the feeling. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was profound. He looked into his little wife¡¯s eyes and solemnly promised, ¡°I won¡¯t drink.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You said it yourself. I¡¯ll check in on you randomly!¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. Ji Wen, who was driving, felt out of ce. ¡°What bad things did I do in my past life? How did I end up being your nephew in this life?¡± They reached the airport and Ji Lingchen was about to go through security. Fang Xiaonuan hugged her husband¡¯s arm tightly, unwilling to let him go. ¡°Hubby, hug me again!¡± Ji Lingchen pulled his wife into his arms. ¡°I¡¯ll be back in a few days. Be good at home.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°Hubby, goodbye kiss.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled and bent down to kiss his wife. After all, they were in a public ce, so he could only kiss her briefly. ¡°Go home. I¡¯ll save up all the kisses I want to give you for the next few days and deliver them when Ie back.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was bing more and more like a kitten. She was extremely clingy, as if she wished that Ji Lingchen would always be by her side. Ji Wen could not stand it anymore. These two people were really clingy. Married couples were really annoying! He pulled Fang Xiaonuan away. ¡°Don¡¯t be so clingy. He¡¯s going to miss his flight. And you¡¯ll bete for ss!¡± Only then did Fang Xiaonuan reluctantly bid farewell to her husband. Back in the car, Fang Xiaonuan defended herself. ¡°Ah, your uncle and I are newlyweds. It¡¯s only right that I can¡¯t bear to part with him.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, the two of you have only been apart for a day. Can you not part with him at all now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s normal that I can¡¯t be without my husband, right?¡± Ji Wen shook his head. Love had turned Fang Xiaonuan into an idiot. However, she was still as hot-tempered as she was before. On the way to school, Fang Xiaonuan opened the car window and felt the cool breeze blowing against her face. She watched the scenery race by and smiled for a long time as she thought about her true love. She suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Xiaowen, I want to prepare a surprise for my husband.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°But under normal circumstances, the surprise you give is usually a shock.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Seriously, I will definitely make my husband look at me in a new light and make him proud of me!¡± When they reached school, Fang Xiaonuan told Liu Siyu her ideas. ¡°Ah? You want to learn how to drive?¡± Liu Siyu asked in surprise. Fang Xiaonuan nodded seriously. ¡°My husband has always wanted to buy a car for me. That¡¯s why I want to learn how to drive. In the future, I can drive the car he bought for me to pick him up from work.¡± Liu Siyu touched Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s forehead. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense?¡± Ji Wen also said, ¡°You should try learning something else. Cars aren¡¯t good for you. You can¡¯t stop overthinking!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was very determined. Since she said that she wanted to learn how to drive, she was now determined to aplish that. No one could stop her! Fang Xiaonuan was good at everything, but she was a little short-tempered. This made her good at fighting, but it gave her problems when it came to driving. After she failed to pick it up, everyone advised her not to drive anymore. She had to be responsible for herself, but she kept thinking about the pedestrians. At first, only one person advised her to give up driving, then a few others. After a while, everyone around her started saying the same thing. Fang Xiaonuan slowly realized that she could not drive. It was dangerous for her to drive. As time passed, she began to fear driving. Fang Xiaonuan was good at fighting, but in terms of driving, Ji Wen was still better than her. Fang Xiaonuan did as she was told. When she got home, she expressed that she wanted to learn how to drive. Old Master Ji expressed his support, and Ji Wen reminded him in a low voice, ¡°Grandfather, you have to think it over carefully. Don¡¯t regret it when the timees.¡± Old Master Ji was a little confused. He did not know what his grandson meant. Ji Wen said, ¡°It¡¯s just¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly cut him off. ¡°Dad, after I learn how to drive, I¡¯ll take you out for kebabs!¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°You can pick any car in the garage!¡± He had been craving for kebabs for a long time. Needless to say, Feng Qi naturally supported Fang Xiaonuan. After dinner, Ji Wen made his debut as a coach. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you don¡¯t scold me, I won¡¯t hit you!¡± Ji Wen was speechless. ¡°That doesn¡¯t sound right. You should say it without the word ¡®don¡¯t¡¯!¡± Fang Xiaonuan mumbled to herself, ¡°If you scold me, I won¡¯t hit you?¡± Realizing that he was teasing her, Fang Xiaonuan raised her hand and was about to hit Ji Wen. Ji Wen quickly ran away and Fang Xiaonuan chased after him. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°If you think you can take it, don¡¯t run!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I don¡¯t think I can.¡± Fang Xiaonuan called, ¡°Ji Wen, you deserve a beating!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯ve revealed your true nature!¡± Chapter 218 - Being Deceived

The people in the house could hear the noise in the courtyard. Old Master Ji was not in a good mood today because he had been thinking of his daughter. When he heard the noise in the courtyard, he walked to the window and saw the two kids chasing each other andughing. The butler stood beside him and exined, ¡°Xiaowen was the one who started the argument.¡± Old Master Ji quietly watched for a while and said faintly, ¡°This child, Xiaonuan, does have a little tiger in her!¡± The butler said, ¡°If she didn¡¯t, how could she end up marrying the young master?¡± One had a tiger-like personality, and the other was nicknamed ¡°Big Tiger.¡± They were made for each other. People often said that there was no room for two tigers on the same mountain, unless one was male and the other was female. Old Master Ji watched them for a long time. He watched his grandson get beaten to the ground by his daughter-inw. His grandson had stopped running and was waving his hands in surrender. Feng Qi also saw her son getting beaten up. She only took a nce, then went to do other things. After getting beaten up, Ji Wen could only obediently bring Fang Xiaonuan to choose another car. ¡°Choose your husband¡¯s car, not ours.¡± Fang Xiaonuan snorted disdainfully. She was going to choose her husband¡¯s car anyway. ¡°That ck car doesn¡¯t look expensive. Drive it out for me.¡± Ji Wen looked in the direction Fang Xiaonuan was pointing in and turned to look at Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Do you know anything about this car?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment and shook her head. If the question had been about boxing, she would have had no problem providing an answer. However, she did not know much about cars. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°There are two W¡¯s. What brand is that?¡± Ji Wen was on the verge of breaking down. He pulled Fang Xiaonuan to the front of the car. ¡°Take a good look.¡± Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head and looked at the car logo. ¡°Eh, there¡¯s a ¡®V¡¯ on the top, a ¡®W¡¯ on the bottom, and then a row of letters. What is it?¡± Ji Wen expression was exasperated. ¡°Do you not know this brand at all?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen many cars on the streets with this logo before. It shouldn¡¯t be very expensive.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, remember this logo. This car is Phaeton!¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded as if she understood. ¡°Is this car more expensive than my husband¡¯s Maybach?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°No. This car is only about 1 million yuan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately sized up the car in front of her. ¡°Xiaowen, did your uncle get cheated by someone when he bought this car?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°You¡¯re really hopeless.¡± Ji Wen looked at the cars in the garage and finally said with a sigh, ¡°However, you have good taste. Considering the cars¡¯ price points, this is the most suitable car in our garage for you to practice with.¡± After finding the car keys, Ji Wen said, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s decided. Work hard. By the time my unclees back, this car should have a lot of scratches.¡± In the evening, Mayor Ji came home from work. When he saw the crushed flowers by the pond, he asked the maid in confusion, ¡°How did the flowers be like this?¡± The maid said, ¡°The young madam was learning how to drive today. She ran over them.¡± Mayor Ji fell silent. Then, he saw that the fountain in the courtyard was surrounded by guardrails. ¡°Why are there guardrails here?¡± The maid said, ¡°The young madam is learning to drive. The young master asked for these.¡± Mayor Ji walked into the house and asked again, ¡°Where did everyone go?¡± The maid said, ¡°The young madam is still having her driving lesson. Everyone is teaching her in the backyard.¡± Mayor Ji:¡±¡­¡± Not long after, he also went to the backyard. The backyard, which was usually used for leisure and entertainment, was now full of people. Old Master Ji, the butler, and his wife were all there, while his son was sitting in the front passenger seat. There were also some maids standing off to one side andughing. Mayor Ji asked curiously, ¡°What happened?¡± The maids immediately smiled and told him about what Fang Xiaonuan had done while he was gone. Ji Wen had told her that she could not handle driving on the road. She was unable to keep to onene. To her, driving was almost a taboo. Fang Xiaonuan did not feel very good in the car. In addition, she was a little nervous. The more nervous she was, the easier it was for her to make mistakes. Whatever she was afraid of would happen. Just like in school, if she was afraid the teacher would ask her questions, the teacher always ended up asking her questions. It was a vicious cycle. After driving the car into the flower bed, Fang Xiaonuan quickly admitted her mistake. Not long after, she almost hit the fountain again and came to a sudden stop. Old Master Ji was scared out of his wits. The fountain was a Feng Shui fountain that he had hired an expert to build long ago. It was to ensure that the Ji family would prosper for generations and grow. If it was damaged, their legacy would be ruined. As he watched his daughter-inw drive, Old Master Ji shouted anxiously, ¡°Xiaonuan, give up on learning how to drive. Come inside and y Fight the Landlord with me. Be good!¡± However, Fang Xiaonuan wanted to give her husband a surprise, and nothing could stop her. ¡°Dad, just y by yourself for a while. You can y Happy Bean with my ount. My phone is on the sofa.¡± How could Old Master Ji be in the mood to y? He was scared out of his wits. At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan seeded in cheering him up. He was not thinking about his daughter, and was only focused on the fountain now. Chapter 219 - Collecting the Corpses of Ants

Ji Wen was the most reliable. He immediately asked the maids to surround the fountain. Then, he instructed Fang Xiaonuan to drive the car to the yground in the backyard. Fortunately, there was enough space for Fang Xiaonuan to do so. Old Master Ji also followed them to the yground to watch over his daughter-inw. If she got hurt while driving, his son would definitely hold it against him! Feng Qi heard that her sister-inw was practicing driving, so she stopped what she was doing and quickly went to take a look. ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t be nervous. Listen to me. Just look ahead. Turn the steering wheel slowly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan understood. She understood the words but her hands did not react. Old Master Ji was also directing her from the side, and Ji Wen spoke up from time to time. Mayor Ji looked at the lively field some distance away from him and sighed. This was his cohesive family. They were working together to aplish something seriously. The more he watched his sister-inw, the more he liked her. She was just as entric as he was at that age. Mayor Ji walked over. Fang Xiaonuan was stunned when she realized how many people were around. When she saw that Mayor Ji hade, she hurriedly called out, ¡°Big brother.¡± Only then did everyone realize that he hade as well. Mayor Ji said, ¡°Why did you suddenly think of learning how to drive?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I just wanted to give my husband a surprise. Once I learn how to drive, I can pick him up from work.¡± Mayor Ji was all smiles. He looked into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s clear eyes. He believed that his sister-inw would definitely be able to help his brother. ¡°Do you need me to teach you?¡± Mayor Ji asked. Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment and shook her head. She did not spend much time with her brother-inw. If he were to sit in the passenger seat and instruct her, she would only be more nervous. She might even hit the wall. Ji Wen was the person she was closest to in this house. With Ji Wen by her side, she could rx a little. ¡°Big brother, you¡¯ve already spent all day working. You¡¯re too tired. You should go back and rest.¡± Fang Xiaonuan called out to Feng Qi. ¡°Sister-inw, you should go and apany big brother too. I¡¯m fine. You can all go back inside.¡± Mayor Ji and Feng Qi did not leave. They were worried about their sister-inw¡¯s driving. Then, Fang Xiaonuan continued driving to get a feel for the car. Behind the car were the other members of the Ji family. Ji Lingchen called his wife, but no one picked up. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s phone was in the living room. Then, he called his nephew. Ji Wen saw that it was his uncle, so he picked it up and put it to his ear. ¡°Hello, Uncle.¡± He raised his hand to signal that Fang Xiaonuan should turn around. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Where did your aunt go? She¡¯s not answering her phone.¡± ¡°Ah, your wife is preparing a surprise for you,¡± Ji Wen replied. Fang Xiaonuan nodded in satisfaction. He was a really reliable friend. When Ji Lingchen heard his nephew say this, he smiled. Then, he began to look forward to the surprise his wife was preparing. ¡°Tell her to call me back tonight.¡± Ji Wen agreed. He hung up the phone and continued coaching her. He was afraid of being beaten, so he chose his words carefully. If he wanted to curse, he rethought it and spoke in a reserved tone instead. ¡°Some people¡¯s hands are like pig¡¯s feet.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. Ji Wen saw Fang Xiaonuan quickly turn the steering wheel. He thought carefully about his next words again. ¡°Xiaonuan, what you¡¯re holding is called the steering wheel, not the engine.¡± When Fang Xiaonuan turned the steering wheel again, it was much slower. Not long after, Ji Wen could not help but speak up again. ¡°You¡¯re going so slow. The ants on the road are probably being crushed. Stop the car in a while and go down to collect the corpses of the ants.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan immediately sped up the car. Slowly, Ji Wen began to feel morefortable. Hepletely forgot that there was a female tiger sitting next to him. He did not realize that her expression was getting more and more sour. He kept mocking her. ¡°This is a car, not a spaceship. You¡¯re just making a turn, not going to space.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took a deep breath, looked at the road ahead, and mmed on the brakes. Ji Wen said, ¡°Why are you stopping? If you do this, it will make the back¡­ Ouch, f*ck! Why are you hitting me again?¡± Fang Xiaonuan punched Ji Wen. She grabbed a fistful of Ji Wen¡¯s hair. ¡°When your uncle taught me how to drive, he always coaxed me gently. Am I giving you too much leeway? You¡¯re talking so much.¡± ¡°Let go of me. If you want me to teach you, can¡¯t I say a few words to you?¡± Ji Wen grabbed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s wrist, wanting her to let go of her hair. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s tiger-like temper red up. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Ji Wen was just looking for trouble. ¡°If I¡¯m too slow, say I¡¯m too slow. If I¡¯m too fast, say I¡¯m too fast! You need to be taught a lesson!¡± At this moment, the small crowd that had been strolling after them came over. Old Master Ji watched his son get hit again. The corner of his mouth twitched. He said to the butler, ¡°I ever realized that Xiaonuan is so violent.¡± Chapter 220 - It Was Obvious That She Was the

After seeing this a few times, Old Master Ji no longer believed that his daughter-inw was gentle and obedient. That was all a sham. The butler said, ¡°Master, when I wanted to investigate further, you said that Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were clear, pure, so gentle, and cute. It was obvious that she would be the daughter-inw of the Ji family. There was no need to investigate further.¡± Old Master Ji was a little embarrassed. He said, ¡°Did I say that?¡± The butler nodded. Old Master Ji remembered the first time he saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s photo. He patted his chest and said with emotion, ¡°Ah, I¡¯m old. I can¡¯t remember some things. I can¡¯t even remember what I said.¡± The butler watched as Old Master Ji pretended to have forgotten it. Feng Qi and Mayor Ji also saw their son get beaten up by their sister-inw. Feng Qi said, ¡°Hubby, did Lingchen lead Xiaonuan astray? Did she suddenly be violent?¡± Mayor Ji said, ¡°Don¡¯t me Lingchen. Lingchen isn¡¯t that violent. He¡¯s just a little more ruthless.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that Xiaonuan is violent?¡± Mayor Ji said, ¡°I¡¯m saying that maybe Xiaowen said something mean and that made Xiaonuan angry. That¡¯s probably why she¡¯s beating him up.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. ¡®I want to leave this ce. It¡¯s h*ll at home. I can¡¯t stay here any longer.¡¯ It was a littlete. They all went back into the house. At the end of the first day, Fang Xiaonuan felt grateful. ¡°Luckily, I didn¡¯t hit the wall.¡± That feeling onlysted for two days. Then, one of the Ji family¡¯s maids rushed into the house and shouted, ¡°Master, Master, something happened. Young madam got into a car ident.¡± ¡°What!¡± Everyone quickly got up to see what was going on. ¡°At the scene of the car ident.¡± Fang Xiaonuan stood awkwardly at the side, scratching her head with a guilty look. Ji Wen was doing the same thing. He looked guilty too. ¡°Is everyone okay?¡± Old Master Ji looked at the two with concern. The two immediately shook their heads. Feng Qi looked at the small ck room that had been damaged by the car, then looked at the two embarrassed kids and asked, ¡°How did it be like this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes shed to Ji Wen. They were both too embarrassed to say it. He was afraid that if he said it out loud, he would be lectured by his family. It turned out that Ji Wen had brought it up first. He had urged Fang Xiaonuan to drive the car into the dark room, but Fang Xiaonuan had not listened. ¡°No, my husband built it specially to punish you.¡± Ji Wen immediately said, ¡°Didn¡¯t he also punish you? Now that my uncle is not at home, we can just crash into it. In the future, if we make a mistake, he won¡¯t punish us by throwing us in there anymore. You are also a newbie. Everyone knows that you are learning. Even if you crash into it, no one will say anything.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the small dark room that she had been locked in before. She shook her head firmly. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about affecting my rtionship with my husband. We just got back together not too long ago. What if he gets angry when hees back?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°No. Out of everyone, my uncle dotes on you the most. You¡¯re learning how to drive. He definitely won¡¯t get angry over a little car crash.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No, I won¡¯t crash into it. If you want to, you can do it. I know that you just want to destroy the small dark room and make me take the me.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll crash it, but you have to share the responsibility with me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t think you really dare to crash into it.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Watch me.¡± Then the car ident happened. Back in the house, Fang Xiaonuan hung her head. Ji Wen was usually the talkative one, but now he was quiet. The impact of the car crash gave him a fright, especially when the bricks flew over. He had been terrified. Feng Qi said, ¡°Xiaowen, I was alwaysfortable with letting you drive. What happened today?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I, that¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately apologized, ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m sorry. I was nervous and I couldn¡¯t control the car.¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re okay.¡± Feng Qi looked at the two of them and said, ¡°I¡¯m not ming you. If anything happens to you, we won¡¯t be able to answer to Lingchen when hees back.¡± She had just said that when Ji Lingchen¡¯s call came in. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the number and did not dare to answer. The phone stopped ringing. Then, Ji Wen¡¯s phone rang. Ji Wen saw that it was his uncle calling and was so scared that he immediately handed the phone to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°My uncle¡¯s calling. It must be for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan guiltily pushed the phone back to Ji Wen. ¡°It¡¯s for you, so you should pick up the call.¡± The two of them pushed and pushed, and in the end, Fang Xiaonuan helplessly took the phone and walked to a quieter space. ¡°Hello, hubby.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and gently knocked her head against the wall. ¡°Oh, it took a while to connect.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°What happened?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not want to lie. She admitted her mistake and said, ¡°I crashed a car into the small dark punishment room.¡± Chapter 221 - Not Worthy

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. ¡°It was Ji Wen, wasn¡¯t it?¡± Fang Xiaonuan stayed silent. She did not say anything. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°If it was really you, you would have called me immediately and told me, and you would have apologized to me in tears. You wouldn¡¯t be in this state right now, feeling very guilty and not daring to pick up the phone.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was puzzled. Was that true? Ji Lingchen asked again, ¡°Were you sitting in the car when Ji Wen hit the small dark room?¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought of what Ji Wen had said and quickly said, ¡°Ji Wen was afraid that I would get hurt and that you would beat him to death. He let me get out of the car first.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t kill him.¡± Fang Xiaonuan became the mouthpiece and passed on her husband¡¯s words to Ji Wen word for word. Ji Wen was shocked. ¡°F*ck! My uncle must be a god! How did he know when he was out of town?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was also a little curious. ¡°Yeah, how did he know? He couldn¡¯t have guessed, right?¡± Ji Wen spent the rest of his days in a state of anxiety. Not long after, the Ji family¡¯s family doctor arrived. When Old Master Ji saw the doctor enter, he hurriedly said, ¡°These two children were in a car crash. Quickly examine them, especially that girl. She¡¯s Lingchen¡¯s wife. If there¡¯s anything wrong with her, Lingchen will hold us all ountable when he gets back.¡± The doctor looked at Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan also raised her head to look at the doctor. She felt a little guilty. After the examination, the doctor found that both of them were fine. Everyone was relieved. However, the car crash still frightened them. Because of this, they also put some restrictions on Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Dad, brother, sister-inw, I¡¯m following Xiaowen to school.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan had breakfast, she took her school bag and put on her shoes at the door. Old Master Ji ran over quickly with his walking stick. The walking stick was practically useless. ¡°Wait a minute, the chauffeur will send you to school today.¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen looked at each other. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Dad, there¡¯s no need to trouble the chauffeur. Xiaowen is a very steady driver.¡± Ji Wen immediately nodded. Old Master Ji shook his head. After the recent car crash, he would not let the two of them drive no matter what. ¡°No, I won¡¯t be at ease with you driving. Wait a minute. The chauffeur will be here soon.¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were resisting. Ji Wen even secretly took the car keys and wanted to run away. ¡°Ji Wen, don¡¯t you dare to run!¡± Old Master Ji roared angrily. Ji Wen obediently stood still, turned around, and begged Old Master Ji, ¡°Grandfather, it was an ident. That was yesterday. Nothing will happen today. Don¡¯t make a mountain out of a molehill. I can¡¯t possibly avoid driving for the rest of my life.¡± Ji Wen was the only child in the Ji family, so Old Master Ji did not want to take any risks. Then, Mayor Ji came over. ¡°Xiaowen and Xiaonuan,e with me. I¡¯ll drop you off. It¡¯s on the way.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Alright. In any case, neither of them is allowed to drive!¡± Then, Fang Xiaonuan had to sit in Mayor Ji¡¯s car as he drove them to school. Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan happened to be talking at the school gate. Based on years of experience, Ji Wen deduced, ¡°Siyu and her brother are fighting.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in agreement. ¡°And it looks like Xiaoyu made Brother Liu angry.¡± ¡°Who are you guys talking about?¡± Mayor Ji asked curiously. Fang Xiaonuan pointed at the girl in the white sweater and purple skirt at the school gate. ¡°We¡¯re talking about her!¡± Mayor Ji looked over. When he saw Liu Siyu¡¯s face, he smiled and said, ¡°Is she the girl that you and Xiaowen often talk about at home?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°That¡¯s her. Her father and you are colleagues.¡± Mayor Ji looked at the beautiful little girl and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. He said, ¡°She looks like a smart little girl, like you, Xiaonuan. How old is she?¡± ¡°The three of us are the same age,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Mayor Ji looked at the little girl for a long time. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t look at her. No matter what you think, she and I will not be together,¡± Ji Wen said. Mayor Ji shook his head. ¡°This girl is too good. You don¡¯t deserve her.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. If he had the chance, he would definitely make his parents do a DNA paternity test with him! He had to do it! The two got out of the car and watched Mayor Ji leave. They went to meet the girl who was fighting with her brother. Liu Siyu also saw her two friends and hurriedly said to her brother, ¡°Brother, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Xiaonuan and Xiaowen are here. If you say that again, you¡¯ll embarrass me?¡± Liu Siyan also caught a glimpse of the two people not far away. He suppressed his anger and said, ¡°Liu Siyu, if you continue to secretly chat with Jiang Zhisheng behind my back, I¡¯ll really hit you!¡± Chapter 222 - Introduction

Liu Siyu nodded. She pushed her brother¡¯s waist with her hand. ¡°Brother, go to work. I¡¯m going to bete. Go. Bye. Take care on the road¡­ Don¡¯t go missing. Bah, don¡¯t go to work safely!¡± She identally said what she was thinking. Liu Siyan poked his sister¡¯s forehead. ¡°You want me to go missing, right?¡± Liu Siyu quickly denied it. ¡°How can that be? You¡¯re my biological brother. You can¡¯t go missing. Who will scold me if you go missing? No one would be there to punish me. No one would educate me. If you go missing, my Prince Charming might evene to me. So, in order to keep me single forever, you can¡¯t go missing!¡± Liu Siyan was speechless. His sister¡¯s sarcasm was quite good. He reached out and pinched Liu Siyu¡¯s cheek. ¡°You¡¯re my sister. If it were anyone else, I wouldn¡¯t bother with you!¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°There are four of us in the family, and you¡¯re showing off in front of me.¡± After saying that, her brother smacked her head again. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head as she watched. ¡°Xiaowen, do you think that you look a lot like Xiaoyu?¡± Ji Wen asked, ¡°How do I look like her?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°You look like her but you have a bad mouth!¡± Ji Wen really could not refute that. It seemed to be the truth. Then, Liu Siyan left. Before he left, he warned, ¡°I¡¯ll be picking you up today. Let¡¯s go buy some crutches for grandpa. You have to behave yourself at school!¡± The car drove off. The three of them finally met. ¡°Siyu, what did you do this time? Are you angry that your brother was lecturing you at the school gate?¡± Ji Wen asked curiously. Liu Siyu said exasperatedly, ¡°He won¡¯t let me fall in love! I¡¯m already 20 years old this year. 20 years old! I¡¯ve been a full adult for two years. He¡¯s single and he won¡¯t let me fall in love!¡± Fang Xiaonuan stuffed the book she was holding into Ji Wen¡¯s hands and Liu Siyu did the same. Ji Wen was at a loss for words. Then, the two sisters walked in front of him, arm in arm. ¡°I just heard your brother say something about Jiang Zhisheng. What did you two do?¡± Liu Siyu sighed. ¡°I sneakily opened a new WeChat ount. I thought my brother didn¡¯t know. Then, that day, I went to the police station to meet him and exchange contact information again. In the end, after just a few days of chatting, my brother found out again. This morning, when I woke up, he started scolding me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing I don¡¯t have a brother.¡± After Liu Siyan arrived at the police station, the moment he entered, he asked furiously, ¡°Where is Jiang Zhisheng?¡± Jiang Zhisheng ducked and did not dare to make a sound. Someone pointed in his direction, and Liu Siyan walked over directly. He grabbed Jiang Zhisheng¡¯s cor. ¡°Come with me to practice!¡± The other police officers were observing a moment of silence for Jiang Zhisheng. Jiang Zhisheng said, ¡°Master, I¡¯m not feeling well today. Please have someone else practice with you.¡± Liu Siyan¡¯s expression became angry. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that you weren¡¯t feeling well when you said ¡®Mwah¡¯ to my sister? Are you tired from sending my sister a ¡®Love You¡¯ emoji? You have quite a lot of emojis. You¡¯re quite talkative. You even wanted to pick up my sister from school. She is way too good for you. Who do you think you are!¡± Jiang Zhisheng was extremely shocked. ¡®F*ck, he found out.¡¯ ¡°Master, Xiaoyu and I really like each other!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Siyan sent Jiang Zhisheng flying with a kick. Jiang Zhisheng fell on the training ground. He remembered being beaten to the point where he could not stand up again. Just looking at the spot where it happened made his entire body hurt. ¡°Master, I¡¯m not courting her anymore. Can we just delete each other¡¯s contact information immediately?¡± Liu Siyan clenched his fists and his knuckles cracked. He looked at the man lying on the ground who had surrendered and slowly walked over. After several minutes, Liu Siyan walked out and saw a group of subordinates waiting outside to watch the show. he shouted angrily, ¡°Let¡¯s have a meeting now.¡± Everyone immediately ran to the meeting room. Except for Jiang Zhisheng who did note, everyone else was present. Even the forensic doctor had arrived. ¡°Captain, what¡¯s the agenda for today¡¯s meeting?¡± a young police officer asked weakly. Liu Siyan took a deep breath and pressed his hands on the table. He looked around. ¡°Which one of you has a younger sister? She must be under 28 years old and above 18 years old. She must be single. Raise your hands.¡± Everyone was stunned. ¡°Captain, what are you going to do?¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°I¡¯m going to introduce Jiang Zhisheng to someone else.¡± Everyone was speechless. At this moment, Jiang Zhisheng was lying on the ground, staring nkly at the ceiling. He told himself in his heart that Liu Siyan was a devil. He could no longer pursue Liu Siyu. He only had one life. For his life, he had to stay away from Siyu. Chapter 223 - Gift Delivery

Liu Siyu had just arrived at the ssroom when she saw someone waiting for her. ¡°Siyu, are you freeter?¡± ¡°No.¡± Liu Siyu coldly rejected this strange man who wanted to ask her out. ¡°I-I have something to tell you,¡± the guy stuttered. Liu Siyu looked at the person in front of her and sized him up. Suddenly, she thought of her brother and said coldly, ¡°If you want to pursue me, you can refer to Chen Chen. My brother is a police officer. He can investigate all eighteen generations of your family. If you want to pursue me openly, you can do so. Even so, I will still reject you. If you have any dirty secrets, you better stay away from me and don¡¯t talk to me. Otherwise, I will tell everyone your dirty secrets.¡± After saying this, Liu Siyu entered the ssroom without looking back. After Chen Chen¡¯s secrets were exposed by Liu Siyu, he got beaten up by his three girlfriends. In the end, the whole school found out about it. Ultimately, he could not withstand the ridicule of the crowd and took a year off from school. Such an example should be considered a warning to all the boys in the school. Liu Siyu could not be pursued! Fang Xiaonuan instantly felt that her best friend was so amazing that she wanted to stand up and apud. The boy standing at the door immediately lowered his head in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you, but I turned around and left.¡±. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Did you just trample on his pride just now?¡± ¡°What pride? He didn¡¯te to confess his love at all. He wasn¡¯t holding a gift. I didn¡¯t see one,¡± Liu Siyu said. Fang Xiaonuan asked curiously, ¡°He wanted to confess his feelings but didn¡¯t bring a gift?¡± Liu Siyu shook her head and talked about the boy. ¡°He wanted to thank my brother. My brother didn¡¯t meet with him or his family, so he came to see me.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked curiously. Liu Siyu whispered, ¡°The boy had a sister. One night, she was on the way home from school after cramming there tillte at night. She was kidnapped by hooligans. In the end, they ruined her. My brother received a report and brought a team to arrest them. It was said that there were two hooligans with powerful families who couldn¡¯t be arrested because they had strong backers. My brother abhorred evil and directly arrested them. Then, he took the lead to raise money to help their family fight awsuit. He asked the hooligans¡¯ families topensate their families and made sure that the hooligans were punished by thew. Thewsuitsted about a year and a half. The final verdict was a prison sentence for the hooligans. Today, they are serving a twelve-year sentence in prison. ¡°After that, their family kept sending my brother some food, eggs, and so on. They evenpensated my brother with money. I¡¯ve seen this boy before at the Public Security Bureau, so when he came over just now, I threatened him so he would leave as soon as possible.¡± Liu Siyu continued, ¡°There were peopleing and going at the door. There were so many people, and our ssmates are so good at gossiping. They would eavesdrop all day long. I chased him away just now for his own good.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan heard this, she felt sad about the girl¡¯s plight. ¡°It¡¯s better for a girl to not walk alone at night. It¡¯s too dangerous. Xiaoyu, you did a great job just now!¡± Doing this not only saved the boy¡¯s reputation, but also discouraged him from seeking her out in the future. When Liu Siyu heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s praise, she said proudly, ¡°Of course.¡± The two of them were so engrossed in conversation that they had forgotten about Ji Wen. Liu Siyu shouted, ¡°Xiaowen, do you want to be my boyfriend? You might have to go to jail.¡± Ji Wen was focused on catching up on homework. Without raising his head, he said, ¡°Get lost!¡± Fang Xiaonuan came up to him and looked at the noun exnation he had written. She asked, ¡°Why are you writing this?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, this is the homework we were assigned during thest ss. It needs to be handed in in a while.¡± Liu Siyu also went over to take a look curiously. ¡°Eh? We have homework from thest ss?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head foolishly. ¡°I don¡¯t know. During thest ss, I was ying Fight the Landlord with my father-inw.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°What was I doing? Why can¡¯t I remember?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She did not know either. She was too focused on the game and did not pay much attention to her. Then, Fang Xiaonuan felt a little sorry for Ji Wen because he was doing homework for the three of them. She took her homework back. ¡°I should do my own homework.¡± Liu Siyu was also a little embarrassed and said, ¡°I¡¯ll also finish my own.¡± So, the three of them began to bury their heads in their homework. They wrote while chatting. ¡°Xiaonuan, what do you think we should do since we don¡¯t pay attention in our sses? It¡¯s fine if I fail the exams, but you¡¯re the principal. If the principal fails, will she be theughingstock of the whole school?¡± Liu Siyu said. Chapter 224 - Deal

Fang Xiaonuan replied confidently, ¡°It¡¯s fine. My husband is much better than the teachers at school. I¡¯ll just ask him to help me study before the exam. Then, I definitely won¡¯t fail. Xiaowen, what are you going to do when your unclees home? Do you want me to prepare a good coffin for you?¡± Ji Wen said to Liu Siyu, ¡°Siyu, do me a favor. When you go home, help me ask your brother something. If a nephew gets beaten to death by his uncle, will his uncle pay for the crime with his life?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll tell you once I find out.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Xiaoyu, help me ask. How many years will you spend in prison if you protect a murderer?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°I don¡¯t think anyone in your family is normal.¡± One was about to be beaten to death, the other wanted to protect a murderer. Liu Siyu suddenly felt that her two good friends were a little scary. After ss, Liu Siyan arrived at the school gate. He picked up Liu Siyu and left. Ji Wen sighed. ¡°Brother Liu is so strict. Siyu can forget about falling in love for the rest of her life.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t care about them. Hurry home. I still have to practice driving!¡± When the two of them reached home, all the cars in the garage had disappeared. Where were the cars? Fang Xiaonuan asked Old Master Ji, ¡°Dad, where are the cars in our garage?¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°I hid them.¡± Everyone fell silent. Old Master Ji was a little embarrassed, so he exined, ¡°Ah, Xiaonuan, watch TV with me. TV is much more interesting than driving.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°I don¡¯t want to watch TV. I want to learn how to drive.¡± Old Master Ji changed the channel again. ¡°Quick,e and watch an American drama with me. You can also practice your spoken English. This drama is not bad. It has a violent aesthetic and is especially suitable for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to watch it.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°What if we watch some Korean dramas? Don¡¯t many girls like those sweet romantic dramas?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± Old Master Ji had not given up. ¡°Why don¡¯t we switch to Japanese dramas? Japanese dramas are pretty good too.¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°No.¡± Old Master Ji changed the channel again. ¡°Thai dramas are fine, right? It¡¯s all about arranged marriages. You and Lingchen went through something simr. You two have a lot inmon, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned off the television. ¡°Dad, if you really want to watch couples get married before falling in love, do you still need to turn on the television? Just watch me and my husband. We¡¯ll act it out for you! But you have to return the car to me. I have to practice driving, or else I won¡¯t be able to surprise my husband!¡± Old Master Ji finally voiced out his true thoughts. ¡°I¡¯m worried that something might happen to you while driving.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m not that bad.¡± Old Master Ji refused to relent no matter what. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Lobster tail!¡± Old Master Ji turned away proudly. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m the kind of person who eats all the time?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Two lobster tails!¡± ¡°You¡¯re trying to bribe me with food. Are you looking down on me?¡± Old Master Ji said. Fang Xiaonuan stretched out five fingers. ¡°Five lobster tails, plus a barbecue, and a spicy hot meal! If you want all that, give me the car. If not, I¡¯ll buy the car myself. My husband gave me a lot of money, but I haven¡¯t spent it yet!¡± Old Master Ji thought about it. ¡°Plus a spicy hot pot¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Deal!¡± The two high-fived as a pledge. After a while, the butler handed the car keys to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Second young madam, you must be careful.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know.¡± Fang Xiaonuan happily took the car keys and tugged at Ji Wen¡¯s cor to practice driving with her. Feng Qi was a little worried, so she followed her. Old Master Ji sat on the sofa and hesitated. ¡®Which one should I eat first?¡¯ After Mayor Ji got off work, he also rushed to the backyard to watch his sister-inw practice driving. On the yground, the husband and wife walked behind the car, spending time together and enjoying the refreshing breeze. While chatting, Feng Qi mentioned Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Hubby, we have to have Xiaonuan in our house. Without her making a ruckus now and again, it doesn¡¯t feel like home.¡± Mayor Ji held his wife¡¯s hand. ¡°Yes, God specially arranged for Xiaonuan toe to our house just to make us feel alive.¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°And she even made her way into Lingchen¡¯s heart. This afternoon, Lingchen deliberately called me to tell me to watch over Xiaonuan, especially during the driving practice. If she really doesn¡¯t do well, he doesn¡¯t want any surprises.¡± Mayor Ji was stunned. ¡°Lingchen knows about it?¡± Feng Qi smiled. ¡°How can we hide these things from him? After he found out that they crashed into the small dark room yesterday, he guessed what Xiaonuan¡¯s surprise was. At the end of the call, he even specifically told me not to let Xiaonuan know that he guessed the surprise. He was worried that Xiaonuan would be disappointed.¡± After saying that, Feng Qi smiled. ¡°Lingchen can actually be so attentive. Hubby, Lingchen is very attentive to Xiaonuan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s mutual.¡± Mayor Ji looked at the little girl who was practicing hard and could not help but smile. Chapter 225 - Grandma’s Taste in Beauty

Liu Siyu¡¯s brother had dragged her to the mall to do some shopping and she was very reluctant to be there. ¡°Did you beat up Jiang Zhisheng again?¡± Liu Siyu questioned. Liu Siyan said angrily, ¡°Not only did I beat him up; I even found him a partner.¡± Hearing that, Liu Siyu was so angry that she was about to cry. ¡°Why on Earth, Big brother! You and Jiang Zhisheng are the only good-looking men in your police station. I can¡¯t fall in love with you. If you weren¡¯t my brother, I would have pursued you. But you are my brother, so I can only choose Jiang Zhisheng. No one else is as good as him!¡± Liu Siyan listened to this. He only nced at her and did not say anything. Then, he continued to drag her along as they shopped. ¡°Did you hear what I said, Liu Siyan?¡± Liu Siyu said exasperatedly. Liu Siyanpletely ignored her and pulled her into a women¡¯s clothing store. ¡°Go buy some clothes. You¡¯re annoying me.¡± Liu Siyu shook off her brother¡¯s hand. ¡°Hmph, if you want to buy stuff, go ahead. I¡¯ll just max out your card!¡± With that, she casually grabbed a few clothes and went into the fitting room. Liu Siyan was waiting on the sofa outside. Bored, he casually picked up a magazine on the coffee table and started reading it. The salesperson brought over a ss of water. ¡°Captain Liu, please drink some water.¡± Liu Siyan did not even look up. ¡°Thank you. Just leave it there. My sister will definitely be thirsty when shees out.¡± After a while, Liu Siyu came out wearing a skirt. She happily walked around in front of Liu Siyan and asked with a smile, ¡°Does it look good?¡± Liu Siyan looked at it. ¡°It looks good. Wrap it up.¡± Liu Siyu skipped back to the fitting room to try on the next one. After a while, she changed into another one for Liu Siyan to see. ¡°Brother, how about this one?¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Wrap it up too.¡± Liu Siyu happily returned to the fitting room. Liu Siyan put down the magazine and sat upright on the sofa. He was full of righteousness and his expression was serious. He looked like a general who had marched and fought in ancient times. Liu Siyu came out of the fitting room again. She happened to look at her brother¡¯s side profile. ¡°Brother, why are you so handsome? If only you weren¡¯t my brother¡­¡± Liu Siyan smacked her on the forehead. ¡°What are you saying? You deserve a beating!¡± Liu Siyu hugged Liu Siyan¡¯s waist like a spoiled child and smiled. ¡°Brother, you look so good. Who is going to be the lucky girl who gets to date you?¡± Liu Siyan broke free from his sister¡¯s embrace, took out his bank card, and handed it to the salesperson. ¡°Swipe the card.¡± By buying her clothes, Liu Siyan finally managed to quell Liu Siyu¡¯s anger. This way, she would not think about Jiang Zhisheng anymore. For the rest of the time, Liu Siyu was quite happy. She helped to buy crutches for her grandfather and even spent a long time picking them out. ¡°Brother, we haven¡¯t visited Grandpa and Grandma for a long time. Why don¡¯t we buy some clothes for Grandma?¡± Liu Siyu said. Liu Siyan said, ¡°Grandma likes very colorful clothes. The shopping mall doesn¡¯t sell the kind of clothes she likes.¡± Liu Siyu recalled that the olddy had a special taste in beauty. Every time she went out, she would dress up beautifully. She always wore very colorful garments. Peacocks were not as colorful as her grandma. She also felt that the clothes that her grandma liked were not easy to buy. ¡°How about jewelry? We have already bought crutches for Grandpa. If we don¡¯t buy a gift for Grandma, she will be unhappy.¡± Liu Siyan stuffed the card into Liu Siyu¡¯s hand. ¡°Take the card. You can buy whatever you want. I¡¯ll pay for it.¡± Liu Siyu was overjoyed. She took the card and rushed into a luxury store. When the two of them returned home, it was after dark. The streetlights were also on. The fountain at the entrance of the shopping mall was on as well. Liu Siyu held her brother¡¯s arm and left the shopping mall happily. There was a sparkling diamond bracelet on her wrist. She was a little light-headed as she walked. ¡°My favorite brother, I will definitely listen to you in the future. I won¡¯t be angry with you anymore. I won¡¯t date anymore. I won¡¯t talk back to you. From now on, you¡¯ll be the only one in my heart!¡± Liu Siyan snorted disdainfully. He heard her say simr things countless times. Every time she used his card to buy things, she would be extremely obedient. However, it did not take long before he would go back to being the bad guy who stopped her from dating. The incessantints he heard every day could kill him. Whenever he was busy, he always felt that time passed very quickly. Fang Xiaonuan had been practicing driving for the past few days. She was especially serious. Every time Ji Wen nodded sleepily, Fang Xiaonuan would give him a kick, then let him go to bed. ¡°Aren¡¯t you sleepy?¡± Ji Wen asked. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ll go backter.¡± Ji Wen believed her. One night, he had to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. When he saw that the car in the courtyard was still running, he was so scared that he almost wet his pants. He thought that he stumbled upon something scary and ran out to take a look while trembling. However, it was actually Fang Xiaonuan who was still practicing driving. Chapter 226 - Note of Guarantee

Ji Wen walked over and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, it¡¯s already the middle of the night. Do you want to give my uncle the dark circles under your eyes when hees back? Is that your surprise?¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not get the car back into the garage no matter how hard she tried. She was currently in a fit of anger, and someone she could vent her anger on just happened to show up. Ji Wen, who had already been beaten up earlier was speechless. Fang Xiaonuan stayed upte at night. She went to school and slept during the day. After school, she went home and practiced driving until nighttime. She was well aware that she had to drive on actual roads to further hone her driving skills. Finally, it was Friday. Fang Xiaonuan thought about her driving skills and said happily, ¡°My husband will be back soon.¡± Liu Siyu also said happily, ¡°I¡¯m going back to my hometown too. My brother promised to drive me back with him.¡± Only Ji Wen was unhappy. ¡°Siyu, can you take me with you?¡± Liu Siyu immediately turned into a bad friend. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I can¡¯t help you. Just face your own death head on!¡± Ji Wen turned to Fang Xiaonuan and begged, ¡°Auntie, can you save me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan realized that during this period of time, Ji Wen had been teaching her how to drive. Therefore, she could not turn a blind eye to him. ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to protect you, but the final decision is still in your uncle¡¯s hands.¡± Liu Siyu said with a smile, ¡°Xiaonuan, as long as you sleep with Ji Lingchen, I think he¡¯ll give his life to you if you ask for it. Protecting Ji Wen should be nothing.¡± Fang Xiaonuan instantly blushed and started to y with Liu Siyu. The day passed quickly. Outside the school, Liu Siyan was already waiting for Liu Siyu. Their grandparents¡¯ gifts were in his car. On the way, Liu Siyu kicked up a fuss. She wanted to drive. Liu Siyan had no choice but to let his sister drive once they reached a ce where there were no cars. He sat in the front passenger seat and turned on the hazard lights. During the drive, the hazard lights served as a warning to other cars. It told them to steer clear of this car. Liu Siyu looked at the hazard lights and suddenly felt humiliated. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re looking down on me!¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Then let me ask you, what¡¯s the minimum speed limit for driving at high speed?¡± Liu Siyu frowned and asked tentatively, ¡°130 kilometers per hour?¡± Liu Siyan immediately got out of the passenger seat, opened the door, and pulled Liu Siyu out of the driver¡¯s seat. Liu Siyu stumbled into Liu Siyan¡¯s arms. ¡°Brother, what are you doing?¡± Liu Siyan widened his eyes in anger and he patted Liu Siyu on the head. ¡°Get out of the driver¡¯s seat. When we get back, study the first subject again.¡± Liu Siyu pursed her lips and finally realized that her answer was wrong. She obediently sat back in the passenger seat. ¡°Brother, my phone¡¯s memory is too small.¡± Actually, Liu Siyu just did not want to download the driving test app. That would cause her phone to slow down, and there would be a lot of spammy ads. How could Liu Siyan not know what she was thinking? However, he did not convey that he saw through her. He calmly said, ¡°Take my phone and download it there.¡± Liu Siyu excitedly picked up her brother¡¯s phone and started ying games. Liu Siyan drove the entire way. Liu Siyu sat in the passenger seat, eating, drinking, ying games, and taking selfies. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were making their way home. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Your uncle will be back tomorrow. Let me drive today to practice.¡± Ji Wen took out a notepad, took out a pen, and stuffed them into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Write a letter of guarantee first. If my car gets damaged, you mustpensate me at the original price.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen¡¯s Ferrari. ¡°I won¡¯t crash.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± Then, he picked up a pen and wrote, ¡°Date: October 29th. Weather: Cloudy. Location: Jing University.¡± Then he continued. ¡°Today, Ji Wen lent Fang Xiaonuan his Ferrari. On the way home from Jing University, if she crashes the car, Fang Xiaonuan mustpensate by paying Ji Wen the original price of the car. If she cheats, her husband will pay three times the original price.¡± After writing, Ji Wen handed the note to Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°Sign it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the note in front of her and asked incredulously, ¡°Are you really going to do this and use my husband to threaten me?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Your husband gives you so much pocket money every month. Just a little of it will be enough to get me a new car.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the note and her hands started to itch. Ji Wen said, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, let me tell you. If you don¡¯t sign today, I won¡¯t let you drive my car!¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the letter of guarantee and then at the car. She picked up a pen and signed her name. Then she took out a lipstick and used it as ink. Then, she pressed her handprint onto the paper. ¡°Is this okay?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Ji Wen did not expect Fang Xiaonuan to sign so quickly. He was stunned for a moment. He thought he would get beaten up first. ¡°Ah, you didn¡¯t beat me up?¡± Ji Wen said in surprise. Then, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s fistsnded on Ji Wen¡¯s body. ¡°That mouth of yours is really annoying. I won¡¯t feel at ease if I don¡¯t hit you!¡± Chapter 227 - Domestic Violence

Lingnan. Ye Mubai looked at his brother who hade over to have tea with him. ¡°CEO Ji, you flew over for a few hours just to have tea with me?¡± Ji Lingchen used tea as a substitute for wine. ¡°I promised Xiaonuan that I won¡¯t drink when I¡¯m out. She might check up on me at any time.¡± Two days ago, Fang Xiaonuan called him after ss to share some interesting things that happened recently. However, she actually wanted to check up on him. She was quite strict. At night, before she went to bed, she would also video-chat with him. Ye Mubai said, ¡°CEO Ji, you¡¯re actually listening to a little girl like that? Are you kidding me?¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I have to listen. Otherwise, she would fly over from Jing City to catch me in the act. She has a bad temper. If she is not happy, she would even dare to beat me up.¡± Ji Lingchen understood his kitten very well. Ye Mubai was surprised. ¡°What? She dares to beat you up?¡± Ji Lingchen held his teacup and seemed upset. Just like that, CEO Ji had an additional ¡°experience¡± his brothers did not share. He actually got beaten up! The person who told them all about it was Ye Mubai. Ye Mubai¡¯s heart ached for his good friend. Since they had gotten married, his wife had gone missing several times. She was also prone to violence. Ye Mubai said, ¡°Lingchen, if you really can¡¯t handle it, just get a divorce. There are so many women out there. Why must you resign yourself to a wed partner like Fang Xiaonuan?¡± Ji Lingchen red at Ye Mubai and said indifferently, ¡°Do you want to be like Murong, recuperating at home?¡± Thinking of Murong¡¯s unfortunate encounter, Ye Mubai immediately fell silent. Ye Mubai said, ¡°Then why did you invite me out for a drink when all we¡¯re drinking is tea?¡± Ji Lingchen had seen many people these past few days, but none of them had that familiar scar on their arms. He even began to suspect that his eyes might have been ying tricks on him that day. However, he had really caught that person, and that girl definitely had the scar. He kept reying it in his head for the past few nights before he fell asleep. He was driving himself crazy. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Mubai, I still haven¡¯t found Xiaoyu. I¡¯ve looked into so many people, but none of them were her.¡± When Ye Mubai heard the name Xiaoyu, his face turned serious. ¡°Lingchen, don¡¯t put so much pressure on yourself. You were only in your teens at the time, and you risked your life to protect her. However, if you protected Xiaowen, you couldn¡¯t control what happened to Xiaoyu. If you protected Xiaoyu, Xiaowen would be taken away. Be it as an uncle or an elder brother, you¡¯ve done very well. Your mother passed away because she was too sick. She wouldn¡¯t want to see you torture yourself like this.¡± In the past, Ji Lingchen had used alcohol to drown his sorrows, but now, he was drinking tea to relieve the sadness in his heart. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Mubai, if I had hugged them more tightly back then, Xiaoyu wouldn¡¯t have been lost, and Mother wouldn¡¯t have passed away so early. My family would still be intact.¡± Ji Lingchen had been living in self-me for the past dozen years. For the sake of his nephew, he had lost his sister, and his mother had died from grief. Seeing his father lose all the life in his eyes, Ji Lingchen felt so ashamed that he had no choice but to move out early. His eldest brother had his own family, and Ji Lingchen did not want to be a burden. Thus, since his teen years, he had been living alone in the Spirit Creek Vi. Ye Mubai knew that the self-me in his friend¡¯s heart could not be resolved with just a few words. He was not in his shoes, and he could not empathizepletely. Ji Lingchen¡¯s friends all thought the same thing, but no one dared to tell Ji Lingchen. Once, Wang Yubo said, ¡°Lingchen, Xiaoyu might already be gone. Maybe your father could not bear to hurt you more, so he kept it from you. Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t your father continue to look for Xiaoyu?¡± Because of these words, Ji Lingchen and Wang Yubo got into a huge fight. After that, no one dared to say to Ji Lingchen that Xiaoyu might already be dead. Even so, the brothers all felt that there was a high probability that Xiaoyu was already gone. Only Ji Lingchen still insisted that Xiaoyu was still alive. Ye Mubai sighed softly and continued drinking tea with his good friend. Drinking too much tea would cause insomnia, but Ji Lingchen was not worried. This was good too. Then, he could stay up and chat with the other person who always stayed upte. Ye Mubai was very helpless. Hey on the bed, not sleepy at all. ¡°Did my friend trick me this afternoon?¡± However, he drank the tea himself. Ji Lingchen did not force himself to drink it, so he could only deal with his inability to fall asleep. In the Ji family¡¯s bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan had put on a face mask and was on a video call with her husband. ¡°Hubby, I beat up Xiaowen. He said that I would give you dark circles under my eyes as a surprise.¡± Ji Lingchen spoke with a smile on his face. ¡°That¡¯s right. Beat him up with all your might.¡± Fang Xiaonuanughed. Her face mask also changed shape, making her look more like a kitten. Sheined coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t talk anymore. Just look at me. Don¡¯t make meugh. Otherwise, my face mask will keep shifting.¡± Chapter 228 - Yellow-faced Granny

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, who was doing skincare, and asked curiously, ¡°What do those two little sticks do?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°These are beauty sticks.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You¡¯re still so young. Isn¡¯t it a little too early for skincare?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°No, early is good. If I don¡¯t take care of my skin now, I¡¯ll have stubborn wrinkles on my face in the future. If that happens, my husband might look at other girls with lecherous eyes. I¡¯ll be the yellow-faced granny in the Cold Pce, and I won¡¯t be favored anymore.¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Ji Lingchen¡¯s entire day had been disappointing. The only thing that made him happy was this video call with his wife. Every day, he would personally go to meet those girls who could be Xiaoyu and look at their arms. He would always feel initial anticipation, but disappointment quickly followed. Only when he saw his energetic little wife in their nightly video call did his heart calm down slightly. Even if he did not say anything and just watched her put on the facial masks, Ji Lingchen could not bear to look away. The two continued to video chat untilte at night. Then, Fang Xiaonuan said she wanted to have a good beauty sleep so that she would not have dark circles under her eyes. After that, she hung up. The next day, Fang Xiaonuan got up early. She went into the bathroom to wash up and ran to Feng Qi¡¯s door. She knocked on the door. ¡°Sister-inw, are you awake?¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°I¡¯m awake. I¡¯ll open the door in a second.¡± She lifted the nket and got out of bed to open the door. Mayor Ji asked, ¡°What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± He also wanted to get up to see what was going on. Feng Qi said, ¡°Don¡¯t get up. Lingchen ising home today. Xiaonuan probably wants me to help her decide what to wear.¡± When she opened the door, she saw Fang Xiaonuan standing at the door, just like she expected. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Sister-inw, help me pick out some clothes. I really don¡¯t know what to wear.¡± She anxiously grabbed Feng Qi¡¯s hand. Feng Qi smiled to appease her and followed her back to her room. Her bed was already littered with clothes. Feng Qi said, ¡°So many clothes¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Those are the ones I tried on just now. Sister-inw, I¡¯ll try them again now. Tell me which outfit looks better.¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan picked up a blue dress from the bed, put it on, and casually tied her hair into a ponytail. ¡°Sister-inw, how about this one?¡± Feng Qi saw her sister-inw showing off her fair legs and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s a little cold today. Lingchen is a straightforward man. When he sees you, he¡¯ll only care if you¡¯re cold or not. He won¡¯t care how beautiful you look.¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought that what her sister-inw said made sense, so she immediately changed into another set of clothes. Feng Qi said, ¡°This doesn¡¯t look cheerful. It doesn¡¯t look like it¡¯s for a date.¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan kept changing outfits until she finally found something she was satisfied with. After settling her outfit, she did her makeup. The whole morning passed just like that. In order to keep her makeup in ce, Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to open her mouth wide while eating. She opened her mouth so wide that she could fit an entire egg inside. Ji Wen was worried that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth would split open. Ji Wen asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, doesn¡¯t your jaw hurt?¡± Fang Xiaonuan had just put an entire egg in her mouth. Her mouth was full, and she could not speak at all. Old Master Ji said with a smile, ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯re amazing. You put an entire egg in your mouth. It¡¯s like a circus act.¡± As he spoke, Old Master Ji peeled another egg and ced it in front of Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Xiaonuan, show me again.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth was full. She looked at the egg Old Master Ji ced in front of her and fell silent. After Ji Lingchen boarded the ne, Fang Xiaonuan left the house. Before she started the car, Ji Wen repeatedly reminded her, ¡°Drive slowly and be careful.¡± After practicing hard for the past few days, Fang Xiaonuan had be somewhat confident. She started the car and headed to the airport. She did not know that just as she pulled out, another car emerged to tail her. Feng Qi and Old Master Ji were not at all worried about Xiaonuan driving alone, but they let Ji Wen drive behind her and secretly follow her. Fang Xiaonuan was a new driver, so she did not realize that she was being followed at all. When they reached the airport, Fang Xiaonuan drove into the parking garage. Ji Wen nervously followed behind and watched her. After parking the car, Fang Xiaonuan took her bag and got out. She did not even nce at the serial number of the parking spot and directly followed the GPS instructions to the arrival hall where her husband would be. Ji Wen said, ¡°F*ck! Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s brain must be filled with water!¡± She did not look at the serial number of the parking spot. After she picked up his uncle, it would be immensely difficult to find her car again. Ji Wen had just finishedining when Feng Qi patted the back of his head. ¡°How can you say that? That¡¯s your aunt.¡± Fang Xiaonuan went to wee her beloved husband back in a beautiful dress. She was wearing a blue-gray dress and a ck windbreaker. She stood at the exit with a small Hermes bag in her hand. The sight of her garnered a lot of attention. Chapter 229 - Married

Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face looked very young and tender. Feng Qi had personally helped her put on her makeup, ying up her feminine charm. Some of the men around were eager to approach her. They wanted to get to know a beauty like Fang Xiaonuan. However, just as the men were about to approach, Fang Xiaonuan red at them, warning them to stay away from her. Then, she turned around and went to wait somewhere else. She looked at the exit expectantly. However, there was no shortage of men who wanted to talk to pretty girls. ¡°Hi, youngdy. Are you here to pick someone up?¡± A man with bad intentions approached her. Fang Xiaonuan nced at the man. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± The man smiled and said, ¡°Nothing. I just want to get to know you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately took a few steps back and maintained a certain distance from the man. ¡°I don¡¯t want to get to know any men. I¡¯m married.¡± The man who was trying to strike up a conversation looked at Fang Xiaonuan in surprise. She was so young, yet she was married. Fang Xiaonuan knew why the man wanted to get close to her. She did not care how surprised the man was. She moved somewhere else and waited for her husband there. Waiting was always boring. However, waiting for the person she loved filled her with anticipation. She continued to wait. Everyone else was already weing the person they had been waiting for, but her husband had note out. In the parking lot, Ji Wen seemed to have forgotten something. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered. ¡°Could that idiot, Fang Xiaonuan, be waiting at the general exit?¡± Ji Lingchen usually took the VIP exit. If Fang Xiaonuan stood at the normal exit, she could wait until midnight and he would not appear. Ji Lingchen had already expected this. After walking out of the VIP exit, he noticed that his little wife, who was supposed to surprise him, was nowhere to be found. He decisively turned around and walked towards the normal exit. Sure enough, the young woman who was tiptoeing and poking her head out was his little wife! When Ji Lingchen saw this, he realized that his wife hade to pick him up herself. He quickly walked toward his wife and stood behind her, coughing lightly. Fang Xiaonuan looked left and right but did not see anyone. Then, she turned around and looked up. She met the pair of eyes she had been thinking about day and night. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were bright as he looked at his wife who had been looking everywhere for him. ¡°Hubby,¡± Fang Xiaonuan called out loudly, then threw herself into the man¡¯s arms and hugged his waist tightly. The men who were trying to hit on her looked at Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen put down the suitcase and hugged his wife. He lowered his head. Fang Xiaonuan tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss her husband. ¡°You¡¯re so good.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife with a smile. Fang Xiaonuan said with a smile, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m the only one who came to pick you up!¡± Ji Lingchen had figured that out already, but he still pretended not to know anything. He did not want to dampen his wife¡¯s excitement. He asked, ¡°What? You¡¯re alone? You took a taxi?¡± Seeing that her husband really did not believe her, Fang Xiaonuan was extremely happy. She said excitedly, ¡°Hubby, I really came alone. I drove the car myself. Weren¡¯t you the one who insisted that I learn how to drive? You wanted to buy me a car so I could drive myself to school. You didn¡¯t let me ride in Xiaowen¡¯s car.¡± ¡°So, during your business trip, I practiced seriously every day. Now, I can drive on the road by myself. Today is proof of that. If you don¡¯t believe me,e to the parking lot with me. I¡¯ll drive you home.¡± Ji Lingchen rubbed his wife¡¯s soft hair lovingly. He held her hand and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll see your driving skills in action. Drive well and I¡¯ll take you to buy a car tomorrow.¡± Fang Xiaonuan happily took her husband¡¯s suitcase and held his hand as they walked to the parking lot. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was fixed on Fang Xiaonuan. Today, his wife seemed different. She seemed to be even more gentle. She still had the innocence of a child, but she looked like a mature and gentle woman. She moved with gentleness and grace. Every movement was mesmerizing. Ji Lingchen watched his wife, and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed as he swallowed. Fang Xiaonuan had already noticed the astonishment in her husband¡¯s eyes. She was very satisfied with her makeup today. Her beautiful hair fell over her shoulders, and the ends of her hair were curly. She was gentle yet elegant. Only in this way did she look like a married woman with a unique charm. She held her husband¡¯s hand as they walked to the parking lot. Then, she looked at the rows of license tes. ¡°Eh, where did I park the car?¡± Ji Lingchen had a bad feeling. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you remember the zone and serial number of the parking spot?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned by his question. ¡°Hubby, what are zones and serial numbers?¡± Her question also stunned Ji Lingchen. He stood in the middle of the huge parking lot and took a quick nce around them. There were at least a few hundred cars here, and they were only on the first floor. If they had to check each car one by one, their date would be ruined. Chapter 230 - Shoulder Throw

Fang Xiaonuan still wanted to drive her husband to make him happy. But now, she lowered her head in shame, like a child who had made a mistake. ¡°Hubby, I don¡¯t know where the car is parked. I didn¡¯t even look around when I got out of the car. I just took the GPS and went to wait for you.¡± Ji Lingchen felt that all of this was because his little wife missed him too much. He did not me her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. We have nothing much to do today, so we¡¯ll slowly look for the car. This works too. You can also take a look at these cars and see if there¡¯s a brand you like. If you find something you like, I¡¯ll immediately book one like it and pick it up tomorrow.¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that her husband was too indulgent with her. This made her feel even more guilty. Ji Lingchen held his little wife¡¯s hand, and they strolled through the parking lot, searching row by row. He was rarely this patient. As he apanied his wife on their search for their car in the stuffy underground parking lot, he would he ask, ¡°Xiaonuan, take a look at this car. Do you like it?¡± Ji Lingchen wanted to select a suitable car for his wife. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She was not in the mood to look at other cars. She just wanted to find her own car. Suddenly, Fang Xiaonuan saw the exact same car logo and shouted excitedly, ¡°Hubby, hubby, I¡¯ve found it.¡± In her excitement, she took out her keys and wanted to unlock the car door immediately. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not open it. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is the car key broken?¡± She walked to the car and leaned against the window to look inside. She frowned and said, ¡°I made a mistake. This is not our car. Our car is different.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the license te. It was indeed not his car. He suddenly thought of something and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, which car did you drive here?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°The Phaeton. The one that crashed into the small dark room the other day was sent for repair. It was only repaired yesterday.¡± Ji Lingchen was very patient. He said, ¡°Good girl. Then do you still remember the license te number?¡± Fang Xiaonuan frowned and her expression told her husband that she did not remember that at all. This was not surprising since she was a novice driver. This was a problem for Ji Lingchen. Although his wife had driven here, she could not remember where she had parked and could not remember the license te number of the car. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°The license te number is 8888. Do you remember that?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately nodded. ¡°Husband, that car looks like our car.¡± Ji Lingchen held his wife in his arms and continued searching in the parking lot. When he saw the sports car, Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Do you like this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s too short. Ji Wen said that I¡¯m short too. If I drive a car like this, I won¡¯t be able to see the road.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Ji Lingchen remembered that. The two of them searched for almost an hour on this floor, but they still could not find it. Ji Wen was on the third underground floor. After not seeing anyone for a long time, he guessed that the two of them must be looking for their car. Old Master Ji thought that if they were looking for their car, it might take them some time to reach the third underground floor. After sitting in the car for a long time, Old Master Ji felt ufortable. He opened the door and got out of the car. He stood in front of the car and began to exercise. ¡°12345678, 22345678¡­¡± He counted while exercising. Ji Wen looked at his watch. It had been one and a half hours since his uncle got off the ne. He decided to be a good person for once. He would do a good deed for the sake of it. He took out his phone and sent the location of Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s car directly to Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang. Fang Xiaonuan immediately turned around. ¡°Hubby, your phone is ringing. Who sent you a message?¡± Ji Lingchen did not know either. The two of them looked at the phone together. Fang Xiaonuan saw that it was a message from Ji Wen and asked, ¡°B36? Hubby, what is Ji Wen talking about?¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. He looked at his wife. His expression was unfathomable. This girl was really slow. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly understood and eximed, ¡°Hah! I understand!¡± Then, anger filled her eyes as she questioned him. ¡°The little b*stard, Ji Wen, just sent you a woman¡¯s bra size, right?¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. When he nced at his wife¡¯s breasts, Fang Xiaonuan looked at her own breasts as well. Then, she raised her head and looked at him. ¡°Ji Wen is dead meat. I¡¯ll teach him a lesson when I get back!¡± It was one thing for him to be so rude, but now he dared to give her husband another woman¡¯s bra size. He was really courting death! Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, what¡¯s your bra size?¡± After he said that, Ji Lingchen¡¯s little wife turned hostile and mercilessly hit him. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to ask me that.¡± Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Do you have a D cup?¡± His wife hit him again. As expected, CEO Ji would get hit quite often. His little wife had a bad temper. Her temper was like dynamite. If there was a slight spark, it would immediately explode with great power. It was so big that if Ji Lingchen wanted to hold her hand, she would shake him off forcefully. He went up and hugged his little wife. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the hand on her shoulder and warned him. ¡°Hubby, do you know what it feels like to be thrown over someone¡¯s shoulder?¡± Chapter 231 - Old Man Ji

Ji Lingchen pulled his wife into his arms. ¡°No matter what size you are, I still like you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was furious and attacked him on the spot. However, she was surprised to find that she, the ¡°Nan Nan¡± of Silver Field, could notnd a hit even with both hands! She raised her leg, but Ji Lingchen grabbed her ankle and pulled her into his arms, hugging her waist. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Hubby, have you done this before?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s pink lips and lowered his head to kiss her. ¡°It¡¯s time to give me the benefits I deserve.¡± Just as he was about to kiss her, Fang Xiaonuan tilted her head back. ¡°I understand, but I won¡¯t let you kiss me!¡± The young woman was angry. She was no longer gentle as she towed her husband¡¯s suitcase. ¡°Be angry at me. Don¡¯t be angry at the suitcase. There¡¯s a gift inside,¡± Ji Lingchen said with a smile as he followed behind her. Fang Xiaonuan instantly became much gentler towards the suitcase. She walked in front with a smile on her face. Her husband went out to work and yet, he came back with gifts for her. It seemed that she was not the only one who missed him. He also missed her while he was gone. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, turn right.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pointed at the rows of cars in front of her. ¡°We haven¡¯t checked these yet.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s taking too long. We¡¯ll search from the lowest level and move up. Maybe we¡¯ll find it soon.¡± Fang Xiaonuan believed him. They took the elevator to the third level. When they reached the floor, she spoke as soon as she stepped out of the elevator. ¡°Hubby, can we go eat Sichuan foodter?¡± Ji Wen opened the car door and called out to the old man who was still dancing in front of the car. ¡°Grandpa, Grandpa.¡± Old Master Ji waspletely immersed in his aerobics exercise and did not hear his grandson call him at all. Ji Wen coughed lightly and shouted, ¡°Old Man Ji.¡± This time, Old Master Ji heard his grandson. He thought he deserved a beating. Ji Wen hurriedly waved at him. ¡°Come back quickly. My uncle and the others areing.¡± Hearing this, Old Master Ji immediately got up and trotted back into the car. Even the sound of the door closing was very soft. Ji Wen raised all the windows. At this moment, Old Master Ji suddenly pped the back of his head. ¡°Little brat, you dare to call me an old man?¡± Ji Wen pointed at the husband and wife who had already appeared. ¡°Quickly hide. Fang Xiaonuan is here. Her left eye is 5.1, and her right eye is 5.0. Her eyesight is very good.¡± The people in the car hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look outside at all. Ji Lingchen saw that car, then he saw his own car not far away from it. ¡°Hubby, look at this car. It¡¯s the same as our car. The license te number is 8¡­ Yay, we¡¯ve finally found our car.¡± Only Fang Xiaonuan was particrly excited. Ji Lingchen could not pretend. He looked at his excited little wife, and his gaze flickered to the other car. ¡°Xiaonuan, before you came out today, what did Dad and Xiaowen say to you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment. ¡°Dad, Xiaowen, and sister-inw were afraid that I wouldn¡¯t be able to exin myself if I got into an ident while driving. They told me to be careful.¡± Ji Lingchen immediately understood. They must have been secretly following her because they were concerned about her driving skills. When he looked at the car, he felt touched. Anyone who treated his wife well would be treated well by Ji Lingchen himself. He would be grateful. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, quickly get in the car. I won¡¯t have any problems braking this time. I definitely won¡¯t crash. I¡¯ll stop the car well and won¡¯t let it slide away.¡± With that, she sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Ji Lingchen put the suitcase into the trunk. As he walked over, he looked at the three people who were hiding. At first nce, it was hard to see them. Old Master Ji raised his head and looked at his son. At such an awkward moment, both of them held back theirughter. Ji Wen, on the other hand, lowered his head, not daring to raise it at all. Feng Qi, who was sitting at the back, hid behind Ji Wen¡¯s seat. Ji Lingchen thought to himself, ¡®It must have been hard on you.¡¯. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, get in the car. Let¡¯s go!¡± Ji Lingchen sat in the passenger seat and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, do you know what kind of cars we have at home?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°There are too many cars. I can¡¯t remember them. I only drove out the ones Xiaowen said I could scratch.¡± Now, Ji Lingchen understood why his wife ignored the car behind them. It was because she did not know what kind of cars they had at home. Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, where are we going next?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first. Hehe, then I¡¯ll take you to the movies in the afternoon.¡± She started the car and slowly pulled out. Ji Lingchen saw her progress and sat in the car, praising his wife with a smile. ¡°It seems that you¡¯ve been practicing very hard recently.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Of course. I don¡¯t even work this hard in my studies.¡± She pulled out of the parking spot and followed the instructions to the exit. ¡°Hubby, am I driving on the right road?¡± Chapter 232 - he Wife-spoiling Maniac Chapter 232: The Wife-spoiling Maniac Ji Lingchen said, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s this way.¡± Fang Xiaonuan stepped on the elerator with ease and drove. Ji Wen sat up and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He hoped that his uncle would spare his life when he returned home today. Now that their mission to protect Fang Xiaonuan waspleted, they could make their way home. The smile on Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was still in ce. It had been there since heid eyes on his wife today. Along the way, Fang Xiaonuan said proudly, ¡°The next time I visit home, I¡¯ll drive my parents out. I¡¯ll let them know that I know how to drive too.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Use your indicator here and turn left.¡± Fang Xiaonuan obediently turned on the indicator. This time, she did not panic. Ji Lingchen was proud. ¡°Next time, when I go for social functions, I can drink without worrying about driving back.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Because you have a wife to pick you up?¡± Ji Lingchen nodded and looked at the road ahead. ¡°That¡¯s right. My kitten can drive now. Now, she can pick her husband up if he¡¯s drunk.¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought about it and was quite looking forward to it. ¡°No problem. In the future, if you go out drinking, tell me your location and I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Okay.¡± The car was very stable the entire way. Even if one did not have a natural talent for something, if they worked hard, they would not disappoint. Fang Xiaonuan drove to the Sichuan restaurant. She was about to find a ce to park, but it was noon, and it was a Saturday. There were a lot of people here, and the parking spaces were full. What she was most afraid of was backing the car into the garage. The few avable parking spaces required her to back into them. Fang Xiaonuan frowned. Ji Lingchen saw his wife¡¯s expression and knew that she was in a difficult position. He quickly said, ¡°Xiaonuan, stop the car. I¡¯ll help you park it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband and her furrowed brows rxed. For some reason, what her husband said just now made her feel very happy. It sounded better than ¡°I love you¡±. She smiled and stopped the car. Then, she got out. The restaurant attendant was stunned. Was she not going to park the car? Fang Xiaonuan smiled and said, ¡°My parking skills are not good. I¡¯ll let my husband do it.¡± See? It was so good to have a husband. If she had trouble parking, her husband could help her out. Fang Xiaonuan felt that having a husband was great. Plus, having a husband like Ji Lingchen was the most beautiful thing in the world. The man sat in the driver¡¯s seat. He put one hand on the gear and the other on the steering wheel. He looked at the rearview mirror on both sides and parked it quickly. Fang Xiaonuan had a look of admiration on her face. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re too amazing.¡± Ji Lingchenughed out loud. How could such a small matter be amazing? After getting out of the car, he picked up his wife¡¯s backpack. Then, he locked the car with one hand, holding onto his wife¡¯s backpack with the other. Fang Xiaonuan took the initiative to step closer to him. ¡°Hubby, can you teach me how to park the car when we get home?¡± Ji Lingchen pinched her face lovingly. ¡°You¡¯ve given me enough presents. I¡¯ll teach you everything I know.¡± While they were eating, Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang non-stop. Fang Xiaonuan mumbled softly, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you resting on Sunday? What kind of lousypany is this?¡± Ji Lingchen was helpless. ¡°Xiaonuan, this lousypany is mypany.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not hide anything. ¡°I¡¯m just teasing you on purpose!¡± Ji Lingchen knew that his wife was unhappy. She nned a perfect date for them, but he had work to deal with. There was nothing he could do. He was a wife-spoiling maniac. He immediately posted a notice in the work group chat. ¡°During the weekend, unless it¡¯s urgent, no one is allowed to work overtime.¡± Then, he sent another post to a friend. It said, ¡°On a date, do not disturb.¡± The apanying photo was a beautiful photo of his little wife. The first person to like it was Old Master Ji. He was very active especially when it came to interacting with his friends¡¯ posts. He alsomented, ¡°This is a good photo of Xiaouan. It looks very nice.¡± Ji Wenmented said, ¡°Uncle, are you getting your beauty treatment?¡± Ye Mubaimented, ¡°Don¡¯t be too happy. In two days, your wife will go missing again. Don¡¯t ask me to help you find her.¡± Murongmented, ¡°Your wife looks gentle and cute. Yet, she beat you up so badly that you didn¡¯t even dare to fight back!¡± Wang Yubo said, ¡°Romantic love dies quickly, you know? I¡¯m waiting for you to get beaten up again.¡± The only reliable person was Yao Qian. ¡°There are so many people who want to die. Coffin prices should be raised. Five million per coffin. No cash, only bank transfer, or by transfer to the number on the card.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at thements on his WeChat moments. He put down the phone and said to his wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, do you want to beat someone up?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Huh?¡± Ji Lingchenined, ¡°Some people aren¡¯t giving us their blessings.¡± ¡°Who!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was instantly enraged. She wanted to beat them up right now. Ji Lingchen calmly said three names. ¡°Ye Mubai, Murong, and Wang Yubo.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, tell me, who is more important to you? Your friends or your wife?¡± Ji Lingchen did not even think about it. ¡°You are.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled. ¡°Then I won¡¯t be lenient.¡± Chapter 233 - Too Embarrassed to Face Anyone Chapter 233: Too Embarrassed to Face Anyone After the meal, Ji Lingchen brought his little wife to a nearby shopping mall to kill some time before their movie. ¡°Hubby, there will be a lot of people in the theater, so you can¡¯t kiss me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan reminded her husband. ¡°What movie?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan blinked innocently, not daring to take out the movie tickets. After entering, Ji Lingchen saw the promotional video and realized that it was a fantasy love movie with many intimate scenes. He turned to look at his shy little wife. Fang Xiaonuan said shyly, ¡°This movie has a higher rating online. It¡¯s a couples¡¯ movie and is perfect for newlyweds. That¡¯s why I bought the ticket. Thements say that after a boyfriend watches it, his lust will be kindled and he will want to kiss his girlfriend. That¡¯s why I wanted to warn you in advance.¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything, nor did he agree. He went to the front desk and bought Coke and popcorn. He handed the snacks to his wife. Fang Xiaonuan held onto the Coke and popcorn as her husband led her into the waiting area. The two of them found a seat and sat down. Before their tickets were even checked, the gluttonous kitten grabbed some popcorn and ate it. As she ate, she chatted with her husband. ¡°Honey, you bought too little popcorn. It¡¯s not enough for me.¡± ¡°Eat less. We still have to go to Shuxiang Garden tonight. If we¡¯re too full, how will we eat dinner?¡± The moment she heard that they were going to Shuxiang Garden, Fang Xiaonuan immediately fed the popcorn she was holding to the man beside her. ¡°Hubby, then you should eat more. Otherwise, I¡¯ll finish it.¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. He did not like to eat these things. Fang Xiaonuan tried feeding him a few times, but he refused to eat it. She could not help butin, ¡°Hmph! You don¡¯t even know how to share my burdens.¡± Ji Lingchen wanted to retort, but he listened quietly. They entered the theatre and soon, it was filled. Less than an hour after the movie started, Fang Xiaonuan very consciously leaned on Ji Lingchen¡¯s shoulder. He turned to look at his little wife beside him. She had actually fallen asleep. Not only did she finish the entire bucket of popcorn, but she also finished the Coke. In the end, she did not even finish the movie. She just went through the motions and fell asleep on his shoulder! Ji Lingchen looked at her sleeping face andughed for some reason. She was like sugar. She hade into his nd life and made it sweet. So, every time he looked at her, he could not help butugh. He could not hide his happiness. He did not wake his wife up, but he was in no mood to continue watching the movie. The movie ended, and the lights came on. The noise from the crowd woke Fang Xiaonuan up. ¡°Ah? How did it end? I only closed my eyes for a moment.¡± ¡°You actually had your eyes closed for an hour.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the people leaving and said regretfully, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault. We spoke on the video call for too longst night. I woke up early today and fell asleep because I was too tired.¡± The people around them left one after another, leaving only the husband and wife still seated. After most of the people had left, Fang Xiaonuan stretchedzily, wanting to get up and leave. Ji Lingchen did not want to walk so quickly, so he kept his eyes on his little wife. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Hubby, why are you staring at me? Don¡¯t you see me enough at home? You can¡¯t keep staring at me when we¡¯re out. If you continue like this, your vision will be blurry.¡± While Fang Xiaonuan was speaking, Ji Lingchen suddenly leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Perhaps it was because she had eaten a lot of sweet popcorn just now, but her mouth was sweet. Ji Lingchen did not like sweet food, but he loved the sweetness that lingered on his wife¡¯s lips. As their tongues intertwined, Fang Xiaonuan closed her eyes. ¡°Um, I¡¯m sorry to disturb you. The movie has already ended.¡± The staff hade in to clean up the space. When they saw the two of them kissing, they had to tell them. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes shot open. A stranger had seen her kissing her husband! She was so embarrassed that she covered her face with both hands, not daring to look at anyone. Ji Lingchen was also embarrassed, and his ears turned red. However, his expression was very calm. He stood up, took his wife¡¯s hand, picked up her backpack, and they left the cinema. Fang Xiaonuan had been hiding behind her husband the entire time. She felt too embarrassed to face anyone, and it was only when she got into the car that she rxed a little. Fang Xiaonuanined. ¡°I already said I don¡¯t want to kiss you there. Why can¡¯t you just control yourself? Can¡¯t you kiss me when we¡¯re at home?¡± If Ji Lingchen remembered correctly, his little wife had been very responsive just now. Fang Xiaonuan continued to say shamelessly, ¡°I kissed you back because you bewitched me. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have closed my eyes!¡± Ji Lingchen raised his eyebrows. His little wife had actually guessed what he was thinking. When the two of them were together like this, they could guess what the other was thinking with just one look. Perhaps, they were not aware of this yet. The two of them had slowly developed a tacit understanding, like an old couple. Yet, they were newlyweds. Chapter 234 - Looking for a Gift Chapter 234: Looking for a Gift On the way back, Fang Xiaonuan would immediately get nervous when she encountered a traffic jam. When she saw the fleets of cars ahead, she said, ¡°Hubby, maybe you should drive.¡± Ji Lingchen consoled her. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be right beside you. If you need anything, I¡¯m right here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked ahead cautiously. The weather was getting colder, and winter wasing. She was wearing a skirt, so she felt a little cold. As she held onto the steering wheel, she wished she could pull her windbreaker down to her ankles. ¡°Hubby, can we turn on the heater?¡± When Ji Lingchen saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s legs, he removed his jacket and considerately draped it over his wife¡¯s legs. Then, he turned on the heater. ¡°Wait for a while. It will warm up soon.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not worry. His jacket still held onto some of his warmth and she instantly felt much better. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s getting colder these days. Don¡¯t wear dresses anymore. You¡¯re so young. Catching a cold will disrupt your life.¡± Fang Xiaonuan gripped the steering wheel and said coyly, ¡°I just wanted to dress up a little to pick you up. This is the only time. I won¡¯t wear this next time.¡± ¡°The heater in the house is very warm, so you can still wear this there,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. The car slowly became warmer, and Fang Xiaonuan was no longer as nervous. ¡°Honey, I don¡¯t understand the traffic police¡¯s hand gestures.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. With her husband by her side, Fang Xiaonuan was truly not afraid of anything. She calmly drove past the traffic police and headed for their destination.¡±Honey, what did you do this time while you were away? Why did you take so long toe back?¡± Fang Xiaonuan casually questioned her husband. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression darkened as he thought about what he had to do this time.¡±I did spend a long time, but I did not yield much sess.¡± ¡°Then wasn¡¯t it a waste of time?¡± Ji Lingchen did not say anything. His wife did not know about the reason for his trip. She thought that it was a wasted trip. However, to him, his expectations had just been met with disappointment again. Fang Xiaonuan to the entrance of Shuxiang Garden, but she still did not know how to reverse the car into the parking space. Ji Lingchen got out of the car and parked it. Fang Xiaonuan had initially thought that this date would be romantic, and she had been a little anxious about it. However, after an entire afternoon, she realized that she was just very happy. Did she really like Ji Lingchen? Without a doubt, she did. When she was with him, even if they were just driving, Fang Xiaonuan felt that their love was beautiful. After dinner, the two of them went home. Ji Lingchen said that he wanted to look for a car and buy a good car for his little wife. Fang Xiaonuan did not understand. There were so many cars in the garage, so didn¡¯t she just have to pick one? However, Ji Lingchen felt that this was a little perfunctory, and that it was better to buy a new one. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know much about cars. You can just buy whatever you want.¡± She didn¡¯t know anything about this, so she handed the task of buying a car to her husband. After entering the house, she excitedly carried his luggage upstairs. She wanted to immediately see what her husband had brought her. Ji Lingchen watched her back as she walked upstairs, then entered the house with a smile. Mayor Ji saw the smile on his brother¡¯s face and thought of his lively, cute, and grumpy sister-inw. He was extremely d that his brother finally had a safe harbor for his soul. In the past, every time he looked for Xiaoyu, he would go with hope and return with disappointment. Usually, he would return to tell him and his father about his search, and then return to the Spirit Creek Vi alone to bear the loneliness. However, it was different this time. Even though he did not find his sister, he did not look too disappointed. It was Xiaonuan who had unknowingly warmed his heart. Fang Xiaonuan, who had returned to the bedroom, immediately opened her husband¡¯s luggage and took out his clothes. She sniffed them and found that they had a clean scent. She took out his clothes, brought them to the cloakroom, and hung them up one by one. Then, she ran back to her suitcase and continued to rummage through it. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say there was a gift? Where did it go?¡± When Ji Lingchen returned to his room, he looked at his little wife, who was rummaging through his luggage for gifts, and asked, ¡°Where are my clothes?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already hung them in the closet,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°The gift is in my clothes,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan immediately stood up, let go of the suitcase, and ran into the cloakroom excitedly. Ji Lingchen put the suitcase aside and stood at the door of the cloakroom, watching the girl look for gifts. Fang Xiaonuan felt the pockets of his pants, then rummaged through the pockets of his shirts. But there was nothing. Finally, she tiptoed to his coat and rummaged through its inner pockets. ¡°Hubby, I found it.¡± Fang Xiaonuanughed heartily. She took it out and saw that it was an exquisite ne from the same brand and series as the bracelet on her wrist. She happily jumped up and ran over to Ji Lingchen. Ji Lingchen wrapped his arm around his wife¡¯s waist and smiled. ¡°Let¡¯s keep looking.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°There¡¯s another present?¡± Chapter 235 - Confession Chapter 235: Confession Ji Lingchen nodded. He had prepared many surprises for his wife, so that she could discover them one by one. ¡°Xiaonuan, you keep looking. I have something to tell my brother and Dad,¡± Ji Lingchen said. At this moment, all Fang Xiaonuan could think about was the present. She had no time to care about what her husband was going to do. Soon, she found a pair of earrings in the pocket of another shirt and continued her search. Seeing her so happy, Ji Lingchen turned around and left the room. He was going to tell his father and his big brother that their hopes had been dashed again. Old Master Ji consoled his youngest son, telling him not to torture himself like this, but the hope in his heart was slowly turning into despair. Mayor Ji also believed his father¡¯s words and thought that his sister was no longer around. The three of them sat in the study for a long time and talked a lot. Fang Xiaonuan found all the presents hidden in her husband¡¯s clothes. She rolled around on the bed excitedly, taking photos and posting them on her social media. Fang Xiaonuan wrote, ¡± It¡¯s so good to have a husband. This was his first business trip and he came back with presents. I can always count on him. Before she posted it on her moments, she had deliberately blocked someone. An hour and a halfter, Ji Lingchen returned to the room. After talking about such a heavy topic, he was in a bad mood. However, seeing how happy Fang Xiaonuan was, he could not bear to disturb her, so he said, ¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, I¡¯m going to wash up.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Fang Xiaonuan knelt on the bed and continued taking photos of the gifts. Not long after, Ji Lingchen came out of the bathroom. Fang Xiaonuan immediately clung to him and asked curiously, ¡°Hubby, how did you choose these gifts?¡± ¡°I bought them as soon as Iid eyes on them,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan happily hugged her husband and took the initiative to kiss him. Ji Lingchen was usually very enthusiastic and responsive, but at that moment, he held her in his arms and remained calm. He lovingly ruffled his wife¡¯s hair and told her to go entertain herself. Fang Xiaonuan was astonished. Her husband had changed. She pushed her happiness to the back of her mind and looked at her husband, who seemed to be in a bad mood after he came back from chatting with her father and brother. ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s have a chat,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°You¡¯ve tried on the gifts?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°Do you like them?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded, but she did not let him distract her. Instead, she asked in a low voice, ¡°Did dad scold you just now?¡± ¡°Did you get in trouble?¡± ¡°Why are you unhappy?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked again. Everything was fine when they were on their date, so why was he so upset now that they were home? He did not look different on the surface. However, Fang Xiaonuan was especially sensitive to the people she cared about. She could sense that her husband was in low spirits. She grabbed her husband¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Hubby,¡± she said. ¡°I¡¯m your wife.¡± Ji Lingchen was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, ¡± Xiaonuan, do you think one should keep searching for a person if more than ten years have passed without any leads?¡± Earlier in the study, his father and brother had repeatedly told him to give up. Ji Lingchen understood their intentions. They wanted him to face the fact that his sister might already be dead. Old Master Ji said, ¡°You and Xiaonuan have to live well. Those who are alive have to live well. Don¡¯t end up somewhere in between being alive and being a ghost. You¡¯re married and you¡¯re no longer alone. Half of you belongs to Xiaonuan. Mayor Ji advised him to live well with Xiaonuan and think about the future. He could not always remain entangled with the past. Those who clung to bad parts of the past would never heal or get over them. Ji Lingchen wavered a little at their words. He had thought about his wife who was waiting for him in their bedroom. He was not sure if Xiaonuan would be able to ept the fact that he had gone to look for his sister. He looked at his wife with a burning gaze, wanting an answer. He was nervous and anticipating it. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Of course, you have to persevere. You¡¯ve been searching for this person for so many years. This means that the person is very important. For the past ten years or so, she has be your spiritual pir. It¡¯s just like being cast into a boundless ocean. As long as the lighthouse in the distance is still lit, the ship will have a destination. When the light goes out, it¡¯s just like being trapped on an isted ind, and you¡¯ll waste away there. ¡°Hubby, I support your search. God sees your efforts. Maybe he¡¯ll prepare a big surprise for you because you¡¯ve been working so hard. Maybe the surprise wille soon. Fang Xiaonuan looked into her husband¡¯s profound eyes. For some reason, she could not help but feel sorry for him. Perhaps she could empathize with his pain, since she was his wife. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, if you get too tired and can¡¯t hold on any longer, I¡¯ll help you search. We¡¯re husband and wife, so we are a team. Let¡¯s search for this person together. Even if ten years pass and you don¡¯t give up, I¡¯ll be right there with you.¡± Chapter 236 - Not a Love Rival Chapter 236: Not a Love Rival Ji Lingchen looked at his determined little wife and was touched. He hugged her tightly. He was so lucky to have such a beautiful wife. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s chest ached from the tight hug. ¡°Hubby, I have a condition. If the woman you¡¯re looking for is my love rival, I won¡¯t help you. That¡¯s not all. I¡¯ll even stop you from looking for her.¡± Ji Lingchen lowered his head and kissed his wife¡¯s hair. ¡°It¡¯s not a love rival. I never had any other partners, and there won¡¯t be any new ones in the future either. I¡¯m looking for your sister-inw.¡± ¡°What?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked up in surprise. She had a sister-inw? Didn¡¯t the Ji family only have two biological sons? The sudden idea of a sister-inw was simply too unbelievable. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Previously, in your office, you said that someone had left you. That woman wasn¡¯t your ex-girlfriend. She was your younger sister? ¡± Ji Lingchen nodded andughed at himself. ¡°She didn¡¯t leave. I abandoned her.¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately coaxed her husband. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t be sad. What¡¯s her name? Tell me. I¡¯ll help you find her.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°Ji Xiaoyu¡± ¡°Xiaoyu,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu. This name sounded so familiar to her. Before falling asleep, Fang Xiaonuany on her ¡°pillow¡± now that it had returned. She clung to it immediately. Ji Lingchen smiled, turned off the bedsidemp, andy down. ¡°You still owe me some benefits. Isn¡¯t it time to give some to me?¡± Hey on top of his wife. The man bent down, and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s thoughts were interrupted by the kiss. She was just about to remember what struck her about the name ¡°Xiaoyu¡± when her husband distracted her with passionate kisses. She tensed up, but he stopped her from moving. He pulled her nightdress down to her waist, and her mind went nk. Ji Lingchen guided her, coaxing her to close her eyes. His movements were gentle as he spread his wife¡¯s legs. Fang Xiaonuan was so nervous that her toes were curled up. The strap of here nightdress had fallen off, revealing her chest. Her neck was wet, and her body felt hot and ufortable. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby¡­¡± A soft and charming coquettish voice made the man¡¯s control slip even more. Ji Lingchen gently kissed her earlobe. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body trembled, and she was so nervous that she could not react. The night was quiet and no one disturbed them. Fang Xiaonuan felt that she was about to lose her virginity. Her face was flushed red, like the sunset. She did make some dirty jokes with Liu Siyu, but right now that it was happening, her mind was nk. She had not even read books about sex or watched any videos. Her husband guided her through each step. ¡°Hubby, wait a minute.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly asked him to stop. Ji Lingchen¡¯s body was filled with lust, but when he looked at the girl below him who suddenly snapped out of it¡­ Fang Xiaonuan had been in a daze earlier and was about to let this happen, but now, there was no desire in her eyes. It seemed that he would have to take a long cold shower again. Ji Lingchen suppressed his inner desires. ¡°Xiaonuan, it¡¯s too cold. It¡¯s not healthy for me to keep taking cold showers.¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°No, hubby! I suddenly thought of Xiaoyu.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind was turning, and she suddenly thought of her best friend, Liu Siyu, who was full of dirty jokes. She remembered what happened at Silver Field. When she ran to her, Liu Siyu had said, ¡°Your husband grabbed me and called me ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯. He even chased after me. It was so scary. When you go back, you can¡¯t tell him that I was there with you.¡± The words that Liu Siyu had told her still rang in her ears. At that time, she felt that it was strange. Her husband had never met her best friend, so how could he know her name? More importantly, even if he knew her, why did he call her ¡°Xiaoyu¡±? Plus, her husband had been looking for this Xiaoyu for the past few days and what he just said¡­ Fang Xiaonuan felt that her husband must have mistaken her best friend for his younger sister. After that, he spent days looking for her. Ji Lingchen turned on the bedsidemp and looked down at his almost-naked wife. ¡°Xiaonuan, what did you say?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s gaze was shy as she pushed the man who was still on top of her. ¡°Could you move first?¡± Only then did Ji Lingchen look at their position. He knew that he had brought this on himself, so he quickly shifted to lie down beside her. Fang Xiaonuan shyly wrapped herself up with the nket, leaving only her head exposed. Once again, she had evaded her tiger of a husband. ¡°You don¡¯t have to wrap yourself up so tightly. That makes it seem like I was harassing you.¡± Ji Lingchen felt like she had wronged him. After all, she ran into his arms every day. He had to take countless cold showers. Chapter 237 - EO Ji Wants to Investigate the Liu Family Chapter 237: CEO Ji Wants to Investigate the Liu Family Fang Xiaonuan also felt that she had let her husband down. Every time it was a critical moment, either someone would disturb her, or she just could not go through with it. This time, she had already taken off her clothes and was about to do it, but she thought of Xiaoyu. ¡°Hubby, you know, I-I¡¯ll go and help you,¡± Fang Xiaonuan stammered, not wanting to bring up Silver Field. ¡°Silver Field. Then?¡± Ji Lingchen said. Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip. She knew that she could not hide this from him. ¡°Ji Wen, Siyu, and I went there together.¡± Ji Lingchen was a little surprised. At first, he only found out Ji Wen¡¯s code name. Then, he learned that his wife was a contestant in the advanced field. Although it took some effort, he still found out. As for that Liu Siyu, he still could not find her. ¡°Oh, right. Tell me this first. How old would Xiaoyu be this year?¡± ¡°The same age as you,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan thought, ¡®Goodness, isn¡¯t this too much of a coincidence?¡¯ ¡°That day, did you grab someone and call them ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯?¡± Ji Lingchen squinted, aware that his wife was trying to get information out of him. He suddenly felt his blood boil. ¡°Xiaonuan, exin clearly.¡± Ji Lingchen suppressed his excitement and tried not to scare his little wife. Since things had alreadye to this, Fang Xiaonuan could only exin everything. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Actually, the three of us went to Silver Field together. That day, I still had a hickey on my neck. I wanted to participate in thepetition, but I was a little shy, so I put on a turtleneck sweater. Later, I realized that the clothes were not suitable for the fight, and I switched clothes with Siyu. ¡°She was the first to see you and she recognized you, but you didn¡¯t know who she was. She was so scared that she ran away, and so did I. Siyu said that you called her ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯, which scared her. I didn¡¯t think too much about it. I just thought you were calling her by her nickname. ¡°After I came back, I was in a bad mood after being yelled at by you, so I didn¡¯t notice this strange detail. When I heard the name ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯ just now, I felt that it was very familiar, and then I remembered that you caught my friend and that you might have thought she was your sister.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had honestly exined everything, but she still firmly believed that her husband must have been mistaken. Liu Siyu had a biological brother, so how could she be her husband¡¯s sister? That would be too melodramatic! It was impossible! Ji Lingchen¡¯s breathing was heavy, and his blood was surging in his veins. On that day, he had seen that the girl was wearing clothes that looked like his wife¡¯s clothes. At that time, he did not know that his wife was a contestant in the advancedpetition. He only thought that they were dressed the same. Moreover, the girl¡¯s height was very simr to his wife¡¯s, so he took a few more nces. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡± Hubby, don¡¯t get too worked up. I think you might have gotten the wrong person. Putting everything else aside, Xiaoyu¡¯s ancestral home is in another province, and she has a biological brother. She only came to Jing City after her father was promoted, and she has never gotten lost, so it shouldn¡¯t be her.¡± Ji Lingchen would rather be disappointed than let go of any hope. He ced his hands on his wife¡¯s shoulders and questioned her with a serious expression. ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t lie to me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡± Hubby, we¡¯re husband and wife. Lying to you about trivial matters might be fine, but your sister is a big deal. Do you think I would dare to lie?¡± She, Liu Siyu, and Ji Wen had been friends for many years and knew each other¡¯s family backgrounds. Liu Siyu¡¯s mother almost died when she gave birth to her. Liu Siyu often talked about this, and Ji Wen also knew about it. It was because of this that the Liu couple doted on their daughter very much. Mrs. Liu had told Fang Xiaonuan many things about Liu Siyu¡¯s childhood, and she felt that her husband was mistaken. Fang Xiaonuan got off the bed and picked up her phone. She found a photo of Liu Siyu and her. Then, she showed it to her husband. ¡°Look, this is Liu Siyu, not Xiaoyu, right?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the girl who was happily eating ice cream in the photo. She was aplete stranger to him. However, it had been so many years, and Xiaoyu should be twenty years old now. She must have changed a lot, so maybe that was why he could not recognize her. Fang Xiaonuan saw theck of recognition in her husband¡¯s eyes and put down her phone. She felt a little guilty. She should not have given her husband hope and then personally destroyed it. ¡°Hubby, are you very disappointed?¡± ¡°What¡¯s her father¡¯s name?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with a frown. When Fang Xiaonuan heard her husband¡¯s question, she knew that she was done for. Her husband was going to investigate all eighteen generations of the Liu family¡¯s ancestors. If it was adopted, there would definitely be records of that. If it had not been an adoption, and the Liu family suddenly had a child, her father¡¯s file would have a record of that too. Chapter 238 - Being Arrested for Prostitution Chapter 238: Being Arrested for Prostitution Fang Xiaonuan knew that her husband would not turn back unless he hit the wall. She had no choice. This was her husband. She could only tell him Liu Siyu¡¯s father¡¯s name. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ll make things clear first. You can investigate, but you can¡¯t affect my best friend¡¯s family life. Her mother is a businessman. And if you find out that Liu Siyu isn¡¯t your sister, you can¡¯t exact revenge. Also, her father and brother are both working in the government. You can¡¯t go and cause trouble for them.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m the kind of person who would do that?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. She did think her husband would be capable of doing that, but she did not dare to admit it. She would definitely get in trouble if she said that. Ji Lingchen lifted the nket. Seeing that he was about to leave, Fang Xiaonuan quickly asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± She was a little angry. Why did he want to leave her the moment he heard the name ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯? Ji Lingchen looked at his lower body. ¡°I¡¯m going to take a cold shower. Why don¡¯t you help me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head, not daring to look up at her husband. She could not see anything when he was lying under the nket just now, and now she was embarrassed. Ji Lingchen went straight to the bathroom. Hearing the sound of running water, Fang Xiaonuany on the bed and picked up her phone. She wanted to contact her friend. ¡°Liu Siyu, are you asleep?¡± The Public Security Bureau. Liu Siyu quickly replied, ¡°Xiaonuan, I was just arrested for prostitution.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. On Friday afternoon, Liu Siyan took leave so that he could go to his hometown to visit his grandparents. His superior approved it. He picked his sister up at the school gate and drove for nearly five hours before reaching his hometown. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, I remember now. The speed limit is 60 km/h.¡± ¡°Close the web page on your phone first.¡± Liu Siyu nced at the search results, stuck out her tongue, and put away her phone. On the way, Mr. Liu called to ask when they would be arriving. ¡°Dad,¡± Liu Siyuined. ¡°Brother won¡¯t let me drive. He¡¯s driving the whole way himself.¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°I¡¯ll take a break at the rest stopter. Don¡¯t even think about driving today.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Mr. Liu asked with concern. ¡°Did you two quarrel again?¡± Liu Siyu was so guilty that she did not dare to continueining. Liu Siyan did not even bother toin. Mr. Liu said, ¡°Xiaoyu, you guys will be tired after driving for so many hours straight. You can stop at a rest stop for a while. Don¡¯t worry. You must drive safely.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°See you tonight, Dad. My brother and I will be there soon.¡± Mr. Liu hung up the phone. Liu Siyu had also finished eating all her snacks. They stopped at a rest stop and Liu Siyan went to buy some more snacks. His younger sister trailed after him. She talked a lot and because she kept talking, he was no longer sleepy. Eventually, within the estimated time, they arrived at their destination, a small vige near Shen City. Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan had never lived here before. The two of them were born in Shen City. Later, because of their father¡¯s job transfer, the whole family moved to Jing City. When they first arrived, the siblings were unfamiliar with their surroundings. ¡°Brother, why isn¡¯t the map working anymore?¡± In recent years, the town had undergone construction. Many old roads and somendmark buildings had be a thing of the past, reced by new roads. The traffic was also re-nned. The roads in his hometown had changed. Some of the smaller roads in the town had been abandoned, and they had been built into brand new asphalt roads. In the past, the siblings could still remember the old route, but now, the two of them were lost. Liu Siyan took the phone from his sister and looked at the map that had not been updated. ¡°I¡¯ll go down and ask. You stay in the car and don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Liu Siyan said. Liu Siyu watched her brother get out of the car. After Liu Siyan got out of the car, he found a fruit stall by the road. As he picked some fruit, he asked the owner for directions. In the end, he bought some fruits and got the answers. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, why did you buy fruit again? I can¡¯t eat anymore.¡± ¡°It¡¯s for Grandpa and Grandma, not for you,¡± Liu Siyan said. Liu Siyu looked at the sky and puzzled out her brother¡¯s intentions with a smile. ¡°You must¡¯ve pitied the stall owner. It¡¯s almost dark, and she¡¯s so old, yet she still has to set up a stall on such a cold day. You must¡¯ve felt bad, so you went to buy fruit, right?¡± Liu Siyan¡¯s lips curved into a smile. He closed the car door and nced at the little girl beside him. ¡°You¡¯ve learned how to guess what I¡¯m thinking.¡± Liu Siyu raised her head proudly. There were a lot of tonics in the car for their grandparents, so he had not needed to buy fruits. Her brother was a police officer who served the people and could not bear to see the people suffer. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so great. As your sister, I¡¯m ashamed.¡± Liu Siyu picked up an ugly orange, peeled it, and ate it. Chapter 239 - Introducing Someone Chapter 239: Introducing Someone ¡°Are the oranges sweet?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a bite.¡± After saying that, she fed an orange slice to her brother. Liu Siyu opened his mouth and ate it. He happened to smell his sister¡¯s finger. ¡°The orange smell is so strong. Even your fingers smell like oranges now.¡± Liu Siyu quickly sniffed her fingers. ¡°Indeed.¡± After that, he drove while she continued eating the oranges. She would eat half, then feed the other half to her brother. Mrs. Liu called them. ¡°Xiaoyu, where are you guys?¡± Liu Siyu looked out of the car window on both sides and saw that it was full of crops. She deliberately scared her mother and said, ¡°The wilderness.¡± Just as she finished speaking, Liu Siyan patted her head. ¡°Don¡¯t scare mom. We¡¯ll be home in 15 minutes.¡± Liu Siyu nodded and did not dare to be naughty anymore. She obediently told her mother where they were. By the time they got home, it was dark. The Liu family was a big family in the vige. Everyone in the vige said that there were high-ranking officials in the family for two generations. The daughter-inw¡¯s worth was over 100 million yuan. Therefore, every time the Liu family members came back, it would cause a stir. Liu Siyu got out of the car and saw that the strangers around her were looking at her like she was a monkey in the zoo. ¡°This is Xiaoyu? She¡¯s so big now, and so pretty. Are you twenty this year? Going to school or work? Did you find a husband yet?¡± Liu Siyu, who was a little panicked, thought, ¡®Goodness, who is this?¡¯ She called out to Liu Siyan, who was getting the gifts. ¡°Brother, brother,e here quickly.¡± Liu Siyan put a box of nuts into Liu Siyu¡¯s hands. When he saw the middle-aged woman who had asked the questions, he introduced her. ¡°This is one of our uncle¡¯s aunts.¡± Liu Siyu looked at her brother and thought, ¡®I don¡¯t even know which uncle you¡¯re talking about!¡¯ Liu Siyan looked at his sister, who was in a daze, and sighed helplessly. She did not return to their hometown often, so she could not even remember the people there. He ced the fruits on the box of nuts and said, ¡°Bring these in and look for Mom.¡± Liu Siyu felt as if she had been pardoned. She ran to the door carrying all the items and shouted, ¡°Mom, Grandma, we¡¯re back.¡± Mrs. Liu immediately came out to wee her child. ¡°Mommy¡¯s here.¡± The people at the door saw that the Liu family¡¯s little girl was so beautiful. She looked like a doll. She was dressed in beautiful clothes and had shiny jewelry. Even the bag she was holding looked Western. ¡°Xiaoyu, do you have a boyfriend?¡± Someone wanted to introduce her to a boy. Liu Siyan took the remaining gifts, frowning as she said indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t ask about Xiaoyu¡¯s rtionship status anymore. She¡¯s a student now and her studies are more important. She won¡¯t be settling down with a partner before she graduates.¡± Liu Siyu nodded and agreed with her brother. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m not looking for a partner, and I¡¯m not getting married.¡± Just then, Mrs. Liu came out of the house. She was capable and elegant, and her voice was very gentle, but her business partners all said that she hid daggers in her smile. However, if she was not capable, she would not have been able to sessfully manage Yanyu Group. Sheughed and sent the crowd of vigers away. She ignored all those who wanted to introduce her children to random people. The three of them took the gifts and entered the courtyard. Their grandma also came out of the house. She was dressed in colorful clothes. When she saw her grandson and granddaughter, she immediately went to hug them. ¡°My beautiful little granddaughter is bac. You¡¯vee back to see me. You look even more beautiful, Xiaoyu. You inherited my good looks.¡± Liu Siyu smiled awkwardly, and her mother was smiling too. Liu Siyan put down the gifts she was holding, and his grandmother hugged him too. ¡°My eldest grandson is back too. You look so handsome!¡± Liu Siyan was at a loss for words. Mrs. Liu asked the two siblings to quickly sit down and eat. Liu Siyan was sitting in the yard and chatting with his mother. ¡°Did Dad go to the hospital to apany Grandpa?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll take you to see Grandpa tomorrow morning. It¡¯s toote today,¡± Mrs. Liu said. ¡°Is Grandfather getting better?¡± Liu Siyan asked. Mrs. Liu said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t look good. If his condition can be stabilized here, we won¡¯t transfer him to another hospital. However, the medical facilities here are limited. If necessary, we might bring your grandfather back to Jing City for treatment.¡± Liu Siyu also heard that. She hugged her mother¡¯s arm and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you bring Grandpa to Jing City from the beginning? Isn¡¯t the quality of healthcare much there?¡± Liu Siyan patted Liu Siyu¡¯s head. ¡°If we could, why have Grandpa and Grandma been staying here for so long? They would have moved to Jing City a long time ago.¡± Liu Siyu finally understood that the old man did not want to leave. Late at night, the neighbor¡¯s dog ran over. Liu Siyu was scared when she saw the dog. She quickly picked up a stick, as if she was going to fight the dog. Chapter 240 - Allergic to Dog Fur Chapter 240: Allergic to Dog Fur Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, brother,e here quickly. There¡¯s a dog. Chase it away.¡± Liu Siyan heard his sister¡¯s shout and immediately rushed over. He stepped in front of her to protect her. Then, he grabbed a broom and drove the dog away. After that, he closed the door. ¡°Why is Xiaoyu afraid of dogs?¡± Their grandma asked. ¡°When you were young, you used to love dogs! You loved seeing them every time you visit.¡± ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m allergic to dog fur,¡± Liu Siyu said awkwardly. Her grandma replied, ¡°How is that possible? You used to hug the dog to sleep when you were young. And you even whined.¡± ¡°Mom, do we have more nkets? I¡¯m making up the beds for the children.¡± Mrs. Liu quickly interrupted her mother-inw. Their grandma, who was dressed in many colors, brought her daughter-inw into a room and asked in surprise, ¡°When did Xiaoyu develop an allergy to dog fur?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because she¡¯s grown up and her immune system isn¡¯t that great anymore,¡± Mrs. Liu said with a smile. ¡°Alright. My poor granddaughter,¡± she said. ¡°Brother,¡± Liu Siyu asked curiously. ¡°Did I really hug a puppy to sleep when I was young?¡± If that really happened, she would despise herself. Liu Siyan nodded without hesitation. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Huh? Let me die!¡± Liu Siyu was almost scared to death on her first night in her hometown. In the middle of the night, she jumped out of bed and screamed. Liu Siyan was so scared that he ran to her room. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother!¡± She sobbed. ¡°Come here quickly. A centipede is crawling all over my leg. Help!¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s scream resounded through the vige. The dogs next door heard it and started barking. Mrs. Liu and her mother-inw also hurriedly put on their clothes and came to see Liu Siyu. Usually, only the two of them lived here, and the other rooms were not as well maintained. During the new year, the old man was taken to Jing City. Mrs. Liu had no idea that there was a centipede in the house. By the time they came into the room, Liu Siyu was already crying. She had thrown herself into Liu Siyan¡¯s arms. Liu Siyan could only carry his sister while looking for the centipede in the room. ¡°You were asleep. How did you find out?¡± When Liu Siyan mentioned the centipede, Liu Siyu broke out in a cold sweat. Liu Siyu sobbed. ¡°I felt an itch on the back of my foot. I looked down and saw the centipede. Brother, I don¡¯t want this foot anymore.¡± The thought of the centipede with so many legs gave her a lingering fear. Mrs. Liu immediately went to the bed to check. Her grandma said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. It¡¯s getting colder. The centipedes have gone into hibernation.¡± Mrs. Liu picked up the nket and shook it. She also moved all the items on the bed away, but she did not see the centipede. Liu Siyu was traumatized by the house and did not dare to continue sleeping there. ¡°Brother, look at the door, it¡¯s right there!¡± Liu Siyu pointed at the door in horror. The people in the room immediately looked over. Liu Siyu¡¯s brother was still carrying her and her eyes were on the door. Only then did she realize that there was a centipede at the door. She saw a centipede the size of a pinky finger crawling back and forth on the ground behind the door. Mrs. Liu walked over and stomped the centipede to death in anger. This thing actually scared her precious daughter. Fortunately, she did not get bitten. Their grandma walked over to take a look. ¡°Why are there still centipedes in this season? It¡¯s probably because the house is too damp. Don¡¯t be afraid, Xiaoyu. I¡¯ll spray a repent on your bed and you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Liu Siyu shook her head. She did not dare to stay in this room anymore. However, Liu Siyan¡¯s room was even worse than this one. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll sleep in the car,¡± Liu Siyu said. Mrs. Liu had been sleeping fine in her room for the past few days. It also seemed drier there. There was also medicinal powder in the corners, so it should be safe. ¡°Sleep with Mommy tonight.¡± Liu Siyan looked at his frightened sister and carried her to his mother¡¯s room. ¡°Brother, shall we go to a hotel in the city tomorrow?¡± Liu Siyu asked in a low voice. Liu Siyan nodded in agreement. There were many dogs in the vige, so Liu Siyu did not dare to go out at all. Whenever she stepped outside, she would need to ward off the dogs with a stick. After sleeping with her mother for the night, Liu Siyu still had nightmares. In her dream, there were centipedes everywhere. They crawled up her body and bit her. She woke up in shock and broke out in a cold sweat. The next day, she insisted on staying in a hotel in the city. In the morning, she had gone to visit her grandfather. She had spoken with him. In the afternoon, she had to leave. ¡°Did youin about me when you slept in Mom¡¯s roomst night?¡± Liu Siyan asked as he gripped the steering wheel. Liu Siyu immediately shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t. I just said that you hit me. That¡¯s the truth. It¡¯s not aint. Mom said that she has to teach you a lesson for me.¡± Liu Siyan was speechless. The two of them arrived at a hotel. Liu Siyu looked around and frowned. ¡°Brother, is this a hotel?¡± It looked incredibly small. Their grandfather was hospitalized in town, and this was the best house in the area. Liu Siyu reluctantly let her brother lead her in. Chapter 241 - Caught for Prostitution Chapter 241: Caught for Prostitution ¡°It¡¯s time for you to suffer.¡± Liu Siyan said. Afterpleting the check-in procedures, the two of them went upstairs together. The room was on the third floor, so they did not have to worry about the centipedes. Liu Siyu looked at the state of the room and was very annoyed. ¡°Brother, when we head back, can you move Grandpa and Grandma into a city?¡± Liu Siyan threw his coat on the bed, picked up his phone, and started checking for hidden cameras. As he checked the room, he said, ¡°If you think it¡¯ll work, tell them toe home with us.¡± He checked the space carefully and made sure there were no surveince cameras before he went back to his room. However, the coat on the bed that her brother had forgotten was the reason for Liu Siyu¡¯s unforgettable experience. It was also because of this that they ended up at the police station. Outside, the police were carrying out an operation to crack down on prostitution and crime. Liu Siyu had just taken a shower. She was in her pajamas and had a towel wrapped around her head. She opened the door and said, ¡°What is it?¡± Several police officers pushed the door open and forced their way into the house. Liu Siyu looked at the police officers in confusion. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°You¡¯re here alone?¡± the police officer asked. Liu Siyu extended a finger. The police officer saw the man¡¯s coat on the bed and picked it up. Then, he questioned her. ¡°Whose clothes are these?¡± The police searched his pockets and found a lighter and cigarettes, which obviously belonged to the man. ¡°It¡¯s my brother¡¯s,¡± Liu Siyu said directly. The police searched every corner of the room carefully. As expected, she was the only one in the room. ¡°Where did this person go? Tell me the truth, or I¡¯ll take you to our interrogation room.¡± Liu Siyu shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m alone. No one else.¡± At that moment, another police officer found an opened condom packet in the trash can. Liu Siyu was very embarrassed. ¡°What is this?¡± The police officer pointed at the item and questioned Liu Siyu sternly. Liu Siyu was a little scared and stammered, ¡°I-If I say that I was too bored and started ying with it, would you believe me?¡± To the police, her stammering made it look like she was guilty. However, she was indeed the only one in the room. Either that. or the man with her had already escaped. ¡°Close the door.¡± The leading police officer ordered the people at the door to interrogate Liu Siyu immediately. Seeing that she had to face several male police officers alone, Liu Siyu got so scared that she burst into tears. Liu Siyu sobbed. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything. This really is my brother¡¯s coat.¡± Liu Siyu knew that they would not believe her. She picked up the phone and wanted to call Liu Siyan toe, but the phone was taken away and confiscated. ¡°What right do you have to confiscate my phone?¡± Liu Siyu said angrily. ¡°I¡¯m going to ask my brother to clear things up¡± Liu Siyan, who was taking a shower, received a call from his sister. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, something¡¯s happened. Come over quickly.¡± Liu Siyan immediately walked out of the bathroom. He did not even have time to get dry. He put on his pajamas and opened the door. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The door opened, and Liu Siyan walked in, his hair still wet. ¡°Hello,¡± Liu Siyan said. ¡°I¡¯m Liu Siyan, the captain of a police station in Jing City.¡± ¡°Siyan? Is it really you?¡± Some of the police officers knew Liu Siyan. ¡°Xiaozhang!¡± Liu Siyan turned around. Liu Siyan looked at his former ssmates. Since they all knew each other, it was easy to talk to them. Liu Siyan¡¯s identity had been verified. He did not need to show any identification. Everyone knew that he was one of their own. Liu Siyu, on the other hand, was crying. Liu Siyan saw the condom in the trash can and asked, ¡°What have you done?¡± His anger was even greater than that of the police officers just now. Liu Siyu said, ¡°I-I-I was just too bored. I saw this thing. I¡¯d never seen it before, so I opened it out of curiosity. Brother, I was just curious!¡± Liu Siyan raised his hand. He was so angry that he wanted to beat his sister up. She was just a youngdy, yet she imed that she had never seen a condom. She said this in front of so many men and admitted that she was curious! Liu Siyu was so scared that she took two steps back. Liu Siyu said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect them to think I was a prostitute. You left your jacket with me. The police misunderstood.¡± When Liu Siyan heard this, he was even angrier. He wanted to beat her again but his ssmate stopped him. ¡°She¡¯s still young. Don¡¯t be angry. Nothing happened.¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s curiosity sessfully made her brother¡¯s ssmate remember her. She also realized that she had embarrassed herself and lowered her head silently. ¡°Siyan, when are you leaving? If it¡¯s not too much trouble, could you help us out a little? We have a case that we don¡¯t have any leads on,¡± Xiaozhang said. Liu Siyan nodded. ¡°No problem. You guys check the room first. I¡¯ll go back to the police station with you after I change Chapter 242 - Reporting Chapter 242: Reporting Hearing that her brother was going to the police station, Liu Siyu immediately perked up. She quickly went to the bathroom to change, then waited at the door.
¡°Why did you get dressed?¡± Liu Siyan asked angrily. He was still angry. Liu Siyu immediately hugged her brother¡¯s arm. ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Liu Siyu asked, ¡°What are you going to do? Embarrass yourself some more?¡± Liu Siyu hung her head, not daring to talk back. In the end, Liu Siyan did not want to leave her alone in the hotel, so he brought her to the police station with him. Liu Siyan said, ¡°Be good and sit here. Don¡¯t run around. Even if you¡¯re just going to the toilet, make sure you report to me first.¡± Liu Siyan had just finished speaking when Liu Siyu said, ¡°Report.¡± ¡°Just tell me,¡± Liu Siyan said through gritted teeth. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, I need to go to the toilet. I can¡¯t hold it in anymore.¡±
Liu Siyan brought her to the bathroom and waited at the door. The police officers present were holding back theirughter. They started to gossip about them. ¡°The great Captain Liu is really going to die of anger.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if having a sister like that is a blessing or a curse.¡± ¡°Good thing she¡¯s his sister. If she was his girlfriend, he¡¯d probably be fuming.¡± Those who were not participating in the operation asked curiously, ¡°What happened?¡± Those few officers shut their mouths and stayed silent, but they were all smiling. He brought Liu Siyu back to her seat. She sat down obediently and made a promise to Liu Siyan. ¡°Brother, I promise I¡¯ll report everything to you. I won¡¯t run around. I¡¯ll just sit here and y on my phone.¡± Liu Siyan tapped her forehead with his hand. In the end, he could not bear to hit her, so he just turned around and went into the meeting room.
Just then, her good friend called her. ¡­ Fang Xiaonuan, who was far away in Jing City, was so shocked to hear what her friend told her. Her jaw was on the floor. ¡°Liu Siyu, you¡¯re too much. Why were you curious about that of all things?¡± Liu Siyu told her friend what happened. ¡°I was looking for the TV remote control and happened to see it. I wanted to learn about it, but luck wasn¡¯t with me. I had just finished showering. Then, I ended up encountering the police forces that wanted to crack down on prostitution.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hurry up and give me a few numbers. I¡¯ll help you buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. With your luck, you¡¯ll definitely win the jackpot. If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll destroy the establishment myself.¡± The two of them continued to chat until Ji Lingchen came out of the bathroom. She continued to chat with Liu Siyu and did not notice that Ji Lingchen had returned to bed. ¡°Your husband just came home today,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°Spend time with him. Howe you have time to chat with me?¡± A low and maic voice rang out by Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ear, ¡°She¡¯s clingy, but not that clingy anymore.¡±
Fang Xiaonuan was so shocked that she almost dropped her phone. She turned to look at her husband. ¡°When did youe back?¡± ¡°Is that Liu Siyu?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s lips, then slowly looked down. Fang Xiaonuan immediately sensed danger and immediately put down her phone. She pulled the nket over herself and covered her head. ¡°Hubby, it¡¯ste. Go to bed.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled into a smile as hey down, letting his little wife rest on his arm. ¡°Xiaonuan, how much longer do we have to spend dating?¡± Then, he heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s breathing be steady. She had already fallen asleep. Cuddling with Ji Lingchen was sofortable that she fell asleep as soon as shey down.
He nced at his little wife, who was sleeping soundly beside him. She was not just lying on his arm. She was even holding his hand. He chuckled softly. The next day. Ji Lingchen got out of bed and saw Ji Wen downstairs. ¡°Get over here immediately.¡± Ji Wen knew why he was being summoned, so he went upstairs with his head down. As soon as he entered Ji Lingchen¡¯s study, he admitted his mistake without waiting for Ji Lingchen to speak, ¡°Uncle, I crashed into the little dark room. My aunt wasn¡¯t in the car.¡± Ji Lingchen snorted and coldly said, ¡°You¡¯ve been nning this since high school. You¡¯ve finally done it. Useless.¡± Ji Wen looked at his uncle in surprise. ¡°Uncle,¡± he said. ¡°How did you know that I¡¯ve been nning this since high school?¡± Ji Lingchen sneered. Obviously, he would have picked up on that. When Ji Wen was in high school, he would often go to the backyard and do calctions of how much force he would need to destroy that part of the building. Ji Lingchen was not blind. He wanted to see how brave his nephew was, and if he could really knock it down. In the end, he waited and waited, but he did not go through with it. However, this year, the little dark room was finally destroyed. He did not even need to think about it. He knew from the start that Ji Wen was the culprit!
Ji Lingchen was not angry that he had destroyed the little dark room. He was, however, angry that he led his wife astray. Chapter 243 - Old Photos Chapter 243: Old Photos ¡°If you dare to bring your aunt along the next time you do something bad, I¡¯ll break your legs,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°No!¡± Ji Wen shook his head in horror. ¡°I won¡¯t take her with me anymore!¡± However, he also had to make sure that Fang Xiaonuan would not talk him into doing bad things either. Fang Xiaonuan was not the most obedient girl. Ji Wen said, ¡°Uncle, you know that my rtionship with Fang Xiaonuan isn¡¯t ordinary, but¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Ji Lingchen was a little unhappy. How dare he say that he had an unusual rtionship with his wife? He even said that to his face. ¡°Although we¡¯ve known each other since we were young,¡± Ji Wen stopped to rephrase. That did not sound right either. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°We¡¯ve been friends for so many years. I must say, she is not someone who likes to follow the rules.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Ji Lingchen replied after a moment of silence. Ji Wen was shocked. His uncle knew it too? ¡°I asked you toe up because I want to ask you about someone else. Liu Siyu. Tell me everything you know about her.¡± Ji Wen asked, ¡°Uncle, why do you want Siyu¡¯s information? If Fang Xiaonuan were to find out that you¡¯re asking about other women, she¡¯ll scratch up your face. Even if you¡¯re asking about her best friend.¡± Ji Lingchen red at his nephew, a little angry. ¡°Then, you won¡¯t tell her. Hurry up and tell me!¡± Ji Wen gave in to his uncle¡¯s imposing manner and honestly told him everything he knew. Meanwhile, Fang Xiaonuan was not idle either. She went straight to Feng Qi, took her hand, and said, ¡°Sister-inw, I want to see some of the family¡¯s old photos.¡± ¡°Why do you suddenly want to see the old photos?¡± Feng Qi was puzzled. Fang Xiaonuan smiled. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just want to know what my husband used to look like.¡± Feng Qi was smiling. Very few young people nowadays would try to get to know each other through photos. She put down what she was doing and led Fang Xiaonuan back to the bedroom. She then took out a thick photo album from a cab. Feng Qi said, ¡°When Lingchen was young, he would only pose for a photo on his birthday. Later on, he wouldn¡¯t even do that.¡± Fang Xiaonuan picked up the photo album and gently brushed off theyer of dust on it. ¡°No one really looks at this album, so I put it away,¡± Feng Qi said. The two of them sat on the sofa and flipped through the photo album. She opened the album, and the first photo was a family portrait of the Ji family. Feng Qi pointed at the woman sitting on the stool in the photo. ¡°She¡¯s our mother-inw.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded, ¡°She seems gentle.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. She¡¯s the gentlest person I¡¯ve ever met.¡± As she spoke, Feng Qi got swept up by her memories. The two of them continued to flip through the photo album, and two children slowly appeared in the photos. Feng Qi said, ¡°The one in blue is Xiaowen, and the other one is¡­¡± Feng Qi looked at the little girl in the photo album and fell silent. ¡°This must be Xiaoyu,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Feng Qi looked at Fang Xiaonuan in surprise. ¡°Sister-inw,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said to Feng Qi with a smile. ¡°You don¡¯t have to hide it from me. My husband has already told me everything.¡± Ji Lingchen was not the sole reason she wanted to look through the photo album. In truth, she wanted to see what Ji Xiaoyu looked like. Feng Qi sighed softly. ¡°Lingchen has too many things on his mind. Perhaps only you can make him happier. Xiaonuan, promise me that no matter what, you won¡¯t hurt Lingchen.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled at Feng Qi and said, ¡°Sister-inw, you must be joking. I love him so much. How could I bear to hurt him? I promise that I will always be by his side.¡± Feng Qi¡¯s gaze was profound. ¡°Sister-inw, tell me about Xiaoyu. My husband didn¡¯t tell me much,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°Xiaonuan, I hope that you won¡¯t despise Lingchen after you find out about this,¡± Feng Qi said after some thought. Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly nodded. ¡°Did you know that dad used to be involved in politics?¡± Feng Qi asked slowly. Fang Xiaonuan had no idea that Old Master Ji was about the same age as her grandfather. To her, the things that Old Master Ji had experienced were as distant as history books. Feng Qi said, ¡°Back then, Dad held an important position in the government. He was ruthless and upright. Many people hated him. After that, some people secretly reported him for corruption. The people from the prosecutor¡¯s office also deliberately dyed the investigation. They investigated him for a few months. In the end, dad was so angry that he quit his job the moment the investigation was over.¡± During the investigation that year, Old Master Ji stayed at home for half a year, and he had almost dyed his child¡¯s studies because of some groundless charges. A few decades ago, no school would ept a child with a corrupt official for a father. After waiting for half a year, he was finally proven innocent. The moment the announcement was made, Old Master Ji immediately resigned and moved to the business world. Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: The Magical Use of Ji Wen Chapter 244: The Magical Use of Ji Wen Feng Qi said, ¡°My father is a powerful and smart man. He used his old connections to quickly pave his way in the business world. In just a few years, Ji Corporation grew bigger and bigger, but they got into trouble again. The bigger the Ji Corporation is, the more it earns. The more they earn, the less others earn. ¡°However, at that age, the family became more and more powerful. My mother-inw gave birth to Xiaoyu when she was older, and I gave birth to Xiaowen. The whole family celebrated and held all kinds of banquets. The Ji family would also bring the children to participate in such activities, and the two children became the Ji family¡¯s weakness.¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat on the sofa, listening attentively. Feng Qi continued, ¡°One day, Xiaowen and Xiaoyu were ying a game. A group of people rushed into the house and picked up Xiaowen, wanting to leave with him. Lingchen happened to be at home during the holidays. He was looking after the two children, and when he saw that Xiaowen was about to be taken away, he desperately held onto Xiaowen. Themotion was so loud that it got the entire family¡¯s attention. That group of people could only give up on kidnapping Xiaowen and turn around to take Xiaoyu away.¡± ¡°Where was my husband?¡± Fang Xiaonuan only cared about her husband. Feng Qi thought back to that day. ¡°He grabbed one of the kidnapper¡¯s legs and tried to stop them from taking Xiaoyu away. The kidnappers ended up grabbing him as well.¡± Fang Xiaonuan furrowed her brows. She did not expect to hear that her husband was kidnapped as well. ¡°Then why did Xiaoyu go missing in the end?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Feng Qi shook her head. She did not know. At that time, the whole family was in a panic. Xiaowen was almost kidnapped. Her mind was nk. When she came back to her senses, she heard from her family that the kidnappers had asked the Ji family for a ransom amount of 10 billion. Old Master Ji immediately called the police, and the kidnapper sent him a photo of Lingchen. He was covered in blood and looked like he had been beaten up. Any parent would not be able to take seeing their child in that state. When she saw her son and daughter covered in blood, Mrs. Ji fainted immediately. Later, the Ji family gathered 10 billion in cash ording to the kidnappers¡¯ request and sent it to the location they were given. However, only Ji Lingchen was returned, and Ji Xiaoyu disappeared. ¡°What happened after that?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. Feng Qi said, ¡°Lingchen was saved by the Lin family. Lin Rou¡¯s father saved him. That¡¯s why our family has been helping the Lin family all these years. It was only after you married Lingchen that the Ji family cut off all ties with the Lin family. ¡°Not long after Xiaoyu disappeared, Mrs. Ji became bedridden with a serious illness and passed away. From then on, Lingchen med himself for not being able to protect his sister. He went to look for Xiaoyu every day even while he was wearing his hospital gown. His mother¡¯s death was an even greater blow to him. He felt that he was useless, and that his mother died because of him. ¡°When he was 13 years old, he moved out and started living alone in Spirit Creek Vi. He didn¡¯t ept anyone¡¯s help. Once, I went to wash his clothes for him, but he chased me out. He doesn¡¯t let us into Spirit Creek Vi without his permission, not even Dad. ¡°Xiaonuan, since he fell in love with you, you both might end up moving to Spirit Creek Vi someday. I hope you can give him a home. Don¡¯t let him be alone again or he might ruminate about Xiaoyu.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded solemnly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, sister-inw. I¡¯ll give him a home. He¡¯s also someone that I can rely on.¡± Even though Feng Qi was his sister-inw, she was still worried about Ji Lingchen. There were a few times when Ji Lingchen spent the holidays by himself, refusing toe home for New Year¡¯s dinner. Left with no choice, Feng Qi could only lie to Ji Wen. ¡°Son, go and do something bad.¡± ¡°Mom, is there something wrong with my brain or yours?¡± Ji Wen asked. Feng Qi pointed at the chandelier, and said to Ji Wen, ¡°Son, take a stick and hit themp down.¡± Ji Wen looked at the chandelier. Why did she want him to knock it down? But Feng Qi insisted that he did so. Ji Wen was also young at the time, so he did as he was told. Then, his mother, who had forced him into misbehaving, picked up the phone and called Ji Lingchen. ¡°Lingchen,e back and take care of your nephew. He¡¯s so naughty that he knocked down the chandelier and almost hurt us.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. Not long after, Ji Lingchen returned home, grabbed Ji Wen, and gave him a good beating. On New Year¡¯s Eve, the entire house was filled with the sound of Young Master Ji crying. However, no one in the Ji family was angry. Instead, their faces were full of joy. Only Ji Wen, this unlucky child, could only stand and eat his New Year¡¯s Eve dinner because his butt hurt too much. In the days that followed, Feng Qi continued to fool her son. ¡°Xiaowen, listen to your mother. Go and take a walk.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± They had no choice but to let Ji Kangde handle it. Later, Ji Lingchen returned home, and Ji Wen got beaten again. Chapter 245 - 245 Think of it as Faith 245 Think of it as Faith Later on, Ji Wen had figured out what his family was thinking. Every Spring Festival, he would hide outside and invite Liu Siyu and Fang Xiaonuan to spend the new year with him. If he went home, his family would make him do bad things. Even if he did notply, he would be beaten up for no reason. One Spring Festival, his family called him toe home, but he refused to go back. Seeing that Ji Wen was noting home, Feng Qi had an idea and called Ji Lingchen. ¡°Lingchen, Xiaowen is missing. He¡¯s not picking up his phone either.¡± Not long after, a Maybach picked up the ¡°lost¡± nephew after finding him wandering an empty street. Ji Lingchen did not even need to get out of the car. As soon as Ji Wen saw the license te, he was scared to tears and got in the car himself. It was fate. Fang Xiaonuan was there that day. She was wearing thick clothes and a scarf that covered half of her face as she watched Ji Lingchen¡¯s car drive past her. Ji Lingchen had not noticed the little girl who was dressed like a penguin standing on the street. Perhaps their fate was predestined. The two of them chatted for a long time before they continued to flip through the photo album. Mayor Ji saw the two of them as soon as he entered the door. ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯re here?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Big brother, I¡¯m looking at some old photos. My husband and Xiaoyu are in them.¡± Mayor Ji nced at the photo album and sat opposite the two. Mayor Ji hesitated for a moment before sighing softly. He said to Fang Xiaonuan in a meaningful tone, ¡°Xiaonuan, Lingchen will only listen to you now. You mentioned Xiaoyu. I assume that my wife told you everything that happened. I¡¯m begging you. Please advise Lingchen to give up and stop searching. If this goes on, he¡¯ll really go crazy.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head, her gaze steady. ¡°Big brother, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t promise you this. I know you¡¯re doing this for his own good, but I choose to believe him. I won¡¯t persuade him to give up. As long as he wants to continue looking, I¡¯ll support him unconditionally and be by his side through it all.¡± ¡°Searching alone would be hard. With me by his side, my husband won¡¯t go crazy even if he spends the rest of his life searching for her.¡± Hearing this, Mayor Ji went silent. Feng Qi looked at her sister-inw and patted Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand. ¡°We feel very guilty about Xiaoyu going missing. If it wasn¡¯t for Xiaowen, Xiaoyu wouldn¡¯t have gone missing, and Mom wouldn¡¯t have passed away.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was understanding and consoled her self-ming sister-inw. ¡°Those people went after Xiaowen because he¡¯s the eldest grandson of the Ji family. Kidnapping him was more useful than kidnapping Xiaoyu. My husband was young back then, so he could only save one of them. If Xiaowen was kidnapped and if he disappeared for so many years, you wouldn¡¯t be able to survive it, sister-inw.¡± In the end, Feng Qi might have fallen ill from longing. No matter who went missing, Ji Lingchen would still feel that it was his fault and me himself. Mayor Ji hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, ¡°But Xiaonuan, how do we find someone who might already be dead?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said after some thought. ¡°We can have faith as long as we¡¯re alive.¡± After she finished speaking, she stood up and took advantage of their daze to secretly hide a photograph behind her phone. ¡°Big brother, sister-inw, I¡¯ll head back first.¡± As soon as she left the room, she met Ji Wen, who had juste out of Ji Lingchen¡¯s study. The two of them looked at each other. ¡°Why were you with my mother?¡± ¡°What were you doing in my husband¡¯s study?¡± The two of them questioned each other at the same time. However, neither of them seemed willing to tell the other what they had done, so they could only stare at each other. After that, the two of them walked past each other, they went to meet the family members they were looking for. Fang Xiaonuan entered her husband¡¯s study, while Ji Wen went to his parents ¡®bedroom. ¡°Hubby, why did you ask Ji Wen toe here?¡± ¡°We were talking about the little dark room. Where did you go?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes darted around, and she said yfully, ¡°I¡¯m not telling you.¡± Today, the ne on her neck was glistening brightly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s mood brightened when he saw it. He sat on the chair and opened his arms. ¡°Come here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and ran into her husband¡¯s arms with a smile. On the other hand, in Feng Qi¡¯s bedroom. ¡°What were you doing just now?¡± Feng Qi asked. Ji Wen said, ¡°What else could I be doing? Uncle was scolding me in the study. It was so loud. Didn¡¯t you hear it?¡± Ji Wen poured himself a ss of water and said casually, ¡°Mom, Dad, there¡¯s something I want to discuss with you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Feng Qi said as she put away the photo album. ¡°I want to move out and live by myself,¡± Ji Wen said. He no longer felt that this house was right for him. He felt that Fang Xiaonuan and his uncle would not be moving out for now. If he were to continue living here, he would be beaten to death one day! Chapter 246 - 246 Buying a Car 246 Buying a Car ¡°That¡¯s impossible,¡± Feng Qi said, immediately rejecting his decision. Ji Wen said, ¡°Mom, my uncle has been here all this time. I don¡¯t have to do anything ¡®bad¡¯ to keep him here.¡± ¡°You want to live on your own? Who¡¯s going to drive your aunt to school?¡± Feng Qi said indifferently. ¡°She won¡¯t let the chauffeur drive her.¡± Ji Wen was on the verge of breaking down. ¡°So, you¡¯re insisting that I stay at home? Just to be Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s driver?¡± Feng Qi then realized that her words had hurt her son, so she immediately exined, ¡°I can take care of you better if you stay here.¡± ¡°You¡¯re taking care of Fang Xiaonuan, right?¡± Ji Wen asked. Feng Qiughed once, sounding guilty. In the afternoon, Ji Lingchen took his wife to buy a car, and Ji Wen came along. ¡°Xiaonuan, the Bentley looks good. Let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nced at him with some disdain. ¡°I don¡¯t like it. I don¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°I want it,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°You wish,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Ji Wen was speechless. ¡°You can¡¯t just look at the car¡¯s exterior,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°But if I don¡¯t like the exterior, I won¡¯t feelfortable in it,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°How about a sports car?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°It¡¯s nice, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in surprise. ¡°Do you want it?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan frowned and shook her head. With a smile on his face, Ji Lingchen held his wife¡¯s hand and walked to a Bentley. The regional manager walked beside them and enthusiastically exined the various advantages and functions of each car. Fang Xiaonuan squeezed her husband¡¯s palm and looked at him with a dazed expression, as if she was using her eyes to say that she could not understand him at all. The man understood the pros and cons of a V8 engine, and he even knew what it meant to close the tank. However, there was only one question in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind: What were all these? Ji Wen was also listening attentively. Ji Lingchen interrupted the regional manager and said to his nephew, ¡°Exin it to Xiaonuan in a simple and clear way.¡± ¡°What are the benefits?¡± Ji Lingchen coldly looked at him, and Ji Wen instantly cowered, fantasizing about beating up the couple. Ji Wen said, ¡°To put it simply, this car was made by a high-end brand. The seats are veryfortable, it¡¯s easy to operate, the design is perfect, the configuration is first-ss, and the exhaust is also very good. You can just set the speed and just follow the car in front of you. There¡¯s nothing to worry about and it is fuel efficient.¡± Ji Wen felt that it was enough for Fang Xiaonuan to understand. After he exined it, Fang Xiaonuan grasped the information immediately. ¡°But this car is long and wide. I don¡¯t think I would be able to reverse into a parking space,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Wen directly opened the car door and pointed at the disy. ¡°A 360-degree camera for reversing. Even if a pig is driving, he¡¯ll be able to park it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists tightly! Ji Wen saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hands and blinked. ¡°In short, this car is good in every way. It¡¯s especially suitable for newbies like you.¡± Ji Lingchen was quite satisfied with the car, so he asked, ¡°Do you like it?¡± ¡°Hubby,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said honestly, ¡°This car is really expensive. It¡¯ll cost you a lot.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled lovingly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ve already prepared the money. Once you¡¯ve mastered your driving skills, I¡¯ll give you a luxury car every year.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled as she hugged her husband. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re going to spoil me if you keep going like this.¡± ¡°That¡¯s kind of the point.¡± Ji Lingchen wrapped his arm around his wife¡¯s waist. Beside them, Ji Wen¡¯s face was sour as he muttered to the ground, ¡°Pfft, showing off your love in public, how disgusting!¡± He did not dare to say it any louder. Ji Lingchen¡¯s love for his wife convinced him to buy a luxury car worth a few million for her to use as a practice car. He even said that if she does well and her skills improve, she¡¯ll be given a new luxury car every year. This made Ji Wen envious. He had been driving his car for three years, and he had always wanted to change it, but he did not dare to say it. Ji Lingchen said to the regional manager, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take this one.¡± After saying that, he took his wife¡¯s hand and went to look at the other cars. Ji Wenined in a low voice as he followed the two. ¡°Hurry up and get over here. I¡¯ll show you the car now.¡± Ji Lingchen did not turn around, but his words were definitely aimed at the person trailing behind him. Ji Wen was stunned. ¡°What? You don¡¯t need a new car?¡± Ji Wen came back to his senses but he was shocked. He was, in fact, stunned by this. He quickly walked over and grabbed his uncle¡¯s arm. ¡°Uncle, are you really going to buy me a car?¡± The jealous Fang Xiaonuan reacted. ¡°Xiaowen, take your dog paws away. Only I can scratch my husband¡¯s arm.¡± Ji Lingchen was very satisfied with his wife¡¯s reaction. In order to make her happy, he decisively shook off Ji Wen¡¯s hand. Ji Wen could not care less about that now. He was consumed with the idea of getting a new car. He was so excited that he almost jumped up and down. He was so happy that he did not know what to say. He was so excited that he wanted to hug his uncle. However, that would make a certain someone extremely jealous even though he was her nephew. Chapter 247 - 247 Borrowing Books 247 Borrowing Books ¡°Uncle, I love you.¡± Seeing how excited he was, Fang Xiaonuanughed as well. ¡°My husband is just buying you a car. Do you have to be so excited?¡± His nephew¡¯s joy also touched Ji Lingchen. He smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ll be your aunt¡¯s chauffeur and you¡¯ll teach her how to drive. This is a gift. Go pick a car.¡± Ji Lingchen handed the bank card to his nephew. ¡°You can pay right after you¡¯ve made your choice. Pay for your aunt¡¯s car as well.¡± He was going to take his wife out for a test drive. Ji Wen took Ji Lingchen¡¯s bank card and immediately turned around to find his beloved car. That night, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen each drove a new car home. Old Master Ji felt that his second daughter-inw had grown up. She had learned how to drive. He looked at her and asked secretly, ¡°Xiaonuan, when are you free? Can you take me out for a good meal?¡± He had not even gotten to eat a single one of the things she had promised him. ¡°My husband can¡¯t find out,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied softly. ¡°When he goes out for a social function one day, we¡¯ll sneak out.¡± Old Master Ji was getting more and more satisfied with his daughter-inw. He said excitedly, ¡°Alright!¡± Ji Lingchen pretended not to hear their secret n to go out for a good meal. The next day. Ji Wen found out about what had happened to Liu Siyu in her hometown over the weekend. ¡°F*ck!¡± he said excitedly. ¡°What kind of friends did I make?¡± One was the hot-tempered Fang Xiaonuan, who would hit anyone she wanted, and the other was Liu Siyu, who had a big mouth and a taste for dirty jokes. However, Fang Xiaonuan clearly looked like a soft and cute little girl. Liu Siyu also looked very innocent. Of the three of them, he was the only one who was normal. In terms of fighting, he could not beat Fang Xiaonuan. In terms of dirty jokes, he did not know as many as Liu Siyu. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Don¡¯t even. My brother nagged at me the whole day yesterday. I¡¯m going deaf.¡± ¡°Did Big Brother Liu beat you up?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°He didn¡¯t want to hit me, but he was very angry.¡± Liu Siyan raised his hand a few times, but he could not bear to hit her. In the end, he always put down his hand. When he saw the way she curled up into a little ball, with her hands out in surrender and her pitiful expression, he could not bring himself to p her. In the end, he had angered himself half to death. Now, her two good friends had bought cars, but she did not dare to ask her brother for one. After all, she had provoked him and she had not ironed things over with him yet. She could not say anything. ¡°Xiaoyu, why don¡¯t I drive you home today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes darted around. ¡°No need, my brother¡¯s picking me up,¡± Liu Siyu said. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You haven¡¯t ridden in my car yet. I¡¯ll give you a ride. I haven¡¯t been to your house in a long time.¡± Ji Wen was confused and made trouble. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going back to your parents¡¯ house with uncle tonight? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you¡¯ll bete if you send her home?¡± Under the table, Fang Xiaonuan stomped on Ji Wen¡¯s foot with all her might. ¡°Watch your mouth and don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Ji Wen felt wronged. What did he do? Liu Siyu also said, ¡°Xiaonuan, you can drive me another day. I have to be good for a while. I really can¡¯t make my brother angry. Otherwise, he might keel over from the anger.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I can go to your house with you and hang out for a while. With me there, your brother won¡¯t embarrass you.¡± Liu Siyu scratched her head and looked at Fang Xiaonuan in confusion. Why did she feel like there was something off about her? ¡°Tell me the truth. Did you fight with your husband again? Do want to take refuge in my house?¡± Ji Wen¡¯s mouth twitched again. ¡°No, she was still kissing her husband in front of me before she left this morning. They¡¯re definitely not fighting.¡± Liu Siyu was not satisfied. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you have to kiss your husband before you go out every day? Ah, you¡¯ve really grown up. You even know how to kiss now. Quick, tell me about it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan gritted her teeth and turned to her daft nephew. ¡°Xiaowen, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Ji Wen shrunk his neck and cowered. Should he just say nothing? Fang Xiaonuan turned to Liu Siyu, ¡°Actually, I want to borrow one of your books.¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s eyes immediately lit up, ¡°Something¡¯s up...¡± Fang Xiaonuan gave a perfunctory smile and went along with what she thought. ¡°Yes, that.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°You should have said so earlier. I definitely have books for you. Come home with me today.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had finally achieved her goal. In the afternoon, when Liu Siyan came to pick up his younger sister, Fang Xiaonuan followed. As expected, Liu Siyu was very obedient in the car, and Liu Siyan did not reprimand her. Chapter 248 - 248 Overbearing CEO 248 Overbearing CEO When they reached home, Liu Siyu held Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand and led her back to her room. She knelt on the floor and took out a bag from under the bed. It was filled with her collection of novels. Fang Xiaonuan, however, pulled out a book called ¡°The Hungry Empire¡± from the bookcase beside her. ¡°I want to borrow this book.¡± ¡°What?¡± Liu Siyu was stunned. ¡°You don¡¯t want to read a novel about an overbearing CEO?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Isn¡¯t my husband an overbearing CEO? I¡¯ll just look at him. Why do I need to read novels?¡± Liu Siyu nced at the book Fang Xiaonuan was holding and felt that something was amiss. She stuffed the novels back under the bed, walked up to Fang Xiaonuan, and took the book. ¡°Why do you want to read this book?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°My husband asked me to learn more about history. I heard that this book talks about the history of the Sun Empire through delicious food. It sounds interesting, so I¡¯m checking it out.¡± She sounded so sincere that she almost believed it herself. Liu Siyu said, ¡°If you said that you wanted to read this book, I would have brought it to school tomorrow. You wouldn¡¯t have toe here to get it!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Coming over to get it is a form of respect for this book.¡± ¡°I think there¡¯s something wrong with your brain,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°Hmph, I¡¯ll let you off today on ount of how badly your brother has scolded you recently,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. The two friends sat on the bed and began to chat. ¡°Xiaoyu, why don¡¯t you have any photos of your childhood in your room?¡± Fang Xiaonuan purposefully. ¡°The photos of me from when I was younger don¡¯t look very good. So, I only have photos from my older years,¡± Liu Siyu replied. ¡°As your best friend and practically sister, howe I don¡¯t know what you looked like as a child? Hurry up and show me your childhood photos.¡± This was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s true motive. She wanted to see Liu Siyu¡¯s childhood photos. This was the only way to make her husband give up the idea that Liu Siyu was Ji Xiaoyu. ¡°Alright, give me a moment. I¡¯ll go ask my brother where he put the photo album.¡± Liu Siyu left the room after she finished speaking. She looked around and finally saw Liu Siyan, who was downstairs cooking. ¡°Brother, where¡¯s our photo album? Xiaonuan and I want to see the photos.¡± ¡°Why do you want to see the photos?¡± ¡°I just want to look for ugly photos of my childhood. Tell me where they are and I¡¯ll go get them myself,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°It¡¯s in our mother¡¯s study room,¡± Liu Siyan said. ¡°Go and look for it.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Liu Siyu replied. She jogged to her mother¡¯s study. As soon as she left, Liu Siyan turned off the stove. He went upstairs and saw that his sister¡¯s door was closed. He narrowed his eyes, feeling inexplicably uneasy. After a while, Liu Siyu returned to her room. ¡°Xiaonuan, you can take a look.¡± After she finished speaking, she opened the photo album. Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu sat together and flipped through the childhood pictures. ¡°This was when I was just born. My mom was so tired that she almost fainted, but she was still kissing me.¡± In the photo, a woman who was sweating profusely was kissing a baby. ¡°This is a photo of me when I was one month old, and this is a photo of me when I was one hundred days old,¡± Liu Siyu exined. ¡°Xiaoyu, do you have any more photos of you when you were older?¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly asked. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Don¡¯t you want to see my ugly photos? You should view them chronologically!¡± Liu Siyu said. Fang Xiaonuan had nothing to say. She anxiously wanted to flip through the pages. ¡°This is a picture of me when I was three years old. The one holding me is my brother,¡± Liu Siyu continued. It was a picture of Liu Siyan when she was in school. It was a parent-teacher meeting that day, and her parents had carried her to the meeting. Before leaving the school, Liu Siyan posed for a picture with his sister in his arms. Liu Siyu told Fang Xiaonuan the story behind every photo. ¡°This is when I was almost four years old. My parents took my brother and me on a trip¡± ¡°Where¡¯s a photo of when you were five?¡± At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Then, Liu Siyu¡¯s bedroom door was pushed open. Liu Siyan shouted at the two of them, ¡°Xiaoyu, Xiaonuan,e out and eat.¡± Liu Siyu turned to look at her brother. ¡°Brother,¡± she said. ¡°Why did you barge in without knocking?¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Cut the cr*p and eat quickly. I have to go to the police stationter and won¡¯t be home tonight. Auntie will be here soon. She¡¯ll apany you tonight.¡± ¡°Brother Liu, I won¡¯t be eating here,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°My husband will being over to pick me up in a while. We¡¯re going to visit my parents.¡± Then, she pulled Liu Siyu¡¯s attention back to the photos. Just as Liu Siyu was about to turn the page, Liu Siyan closed the photo album. He frowned, clearly unhappy. ¡°Look at it after dinner or don¡¯t look at it at all.¡± Chapter 249 - 249 Not Alone 249 Not Alone Liu Siyu pouted and wanted to resist, but when she saw Liu Siyan¡¯s irrefutable gaze, she was afraid. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll continue looking at it after dinner.¡± She pulled Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go eat. My brother cooked.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nced at Liu Siyan, then shifted her gaze to the photo album. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid of rming the Liu family. No matter what, the two of them were good friends, and she could not go too far. Moreover, she still felt very guilty for using her best friend today. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Xiaoyu, I won¡¯t be eating here. My husband will being to pick me up soon. I¡¯ll wait by the door. You guys go eat.¡± With that said, Fang Xiaonuan turned around and was about to leave. Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan stood up to send her off. After waiting at the entrance for a while, Ji Lingchen¡¯s car arrived. He knew what his wife meant to do. She wanted him toe and see Liu Siyu in person so that he could dispel his suspicions about her. He was very grateful for his wife¡¯s kindness and drove over personally. ¡°My husband¡¯s here to pick me up. I¡¯m leaving now.¡± Ji Lingchen opened the car door and saw a girl who was about the same height and figure as his wife, as well as Captain Liu, whom he had met a few times. He stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Siyan. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ji Lingchen. I¡¯m Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s husband.¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about you. As a member of this nation, who wouldn¡¯t recognize you, CEO Ji. I¡¯m the police captain, Liu Siyan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two of them and felt that the atmosphere was not quite right. She quickly went forward and clutched her husband¡¯s arm to divert his attention and make him look at Liu Siyu. ¡°Hubby, this is my best friend, and Xiaowen¡¯s good friend for many years, Liu Siyu.¡± Ji Lingchen had caught Liu Siyu at Silver Field. She looked at him awkwardly and hid behind her brother in fear. Ji Lingchen looked at her but did not say anything. ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up Xiaonuan. We¡¯ll get going first. We should meet up again in the future.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was calm, as if this was his first time meeting Liu Siyu. Liu Siyu nodded and watched the car leave with her friend. After the car drove away, she frowned as she sensed dangerous energying from her brother. ¡°Xiaoyu, follow me into the house.¡± He turned to his sister. ¡°Alright,¡± Liu Siyu said. On the way back to Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s old home, she asked, ¡°Did you find anything?¡± Ji Lingchen did not reveal his true thoughts. Instead, he gave the answer his wife wanted, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡± In the next few days, Fang Xiaonuan worked hard to rid her best friend of his suspicions and to help her husband see what was real. Whenever she was free, she would visit the Liu family. Old Master Ji was jealous. ¡°You haven¡¯t even brought me out to eat. You just keep going out with your best friend. What is this?¡± That day, Fang Xiaonuan went to the Liu residence again. Liu Siyan was not at home, so no one disturbed the two of them. They opened the photo album that they had not finished looking at that day. Liu Siyu pointed at the photo. ¡°This is a photo of me when I was young.¡± There was a caption on the photo. It said, ¡°Liu Siyu, five years old.¡± In this photo, Liu Siyu had no bangs, but Ji Xiaoyu had neat bangs. The two children did not look simr at all. There was no need to be suspicious of her anymore. Fang Xiaonuan was already certain that Liu Siyu was not her sister-inw. Even if the photos were fake, they could not have produced fake photos for more than a decade, right? Moreover, there were photos of her since she was young. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Are there any photos of when you were six?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Liu Siyu asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you that I had chickenpox that year? I was covered in it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had indeed heard Liu Siyu mention that she had not taken any photos that year. Chickenpox was an infectious disease, and no one dared to touch her. No one was invited to her house to take photos with her on her birthday. She continued to look at the photos taken when Liu Siyu was seven years old. ¡°The one with cream all over the face is you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, pointing at the person in the photo. Liu Siyu nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. It was my brother¡¯s birthday that year. I touched my brother¡¯s face with a piece of cake, and he didn¡¯t hold back either. He pped the entire piece of cake on my face. My parentsughed like crazy and took this picture of me.¡± As she continued to look through them, Liu Siyu¡¯s face gradually grew longer. Then, she saw a photo of her in junior high school. That face matched the face Fang Xiaonuan remembered. ¡°Xiaoyu, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Liu Siyu was surprised by the sudden apology. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not exin and went to the bathroom to wash her face. After she came out, she wanted to take a taxi to meet up with her husband. At the same time, Ji Lingchen was holding a photo of Liu Siyu taken when she was young. He looked at it without saying a word, and Assistant Liu hesitated about continuing. ¡°Continue,¡± Ji Lingchen said. Chapter 250 - 250 Foodie 250 Foodie Assistant Liu continued, ¡°The records surrounding Liu Siyu¡¯s birth are veryplete. We¡¯ve visited Secretary Liu¡¯s former colleagues, Liu Siyu¡¯s hometown, and Liu Siyu¡¯s former ssmates. We can confirm that Liu Siyu is indeed a child of the Liu family.¡± ¡°Ms. Liu Siyu has never gone missing. We¡¯ve also asked around and shown Ms. Xiaoyu¡¯s photo. The neighbors nearby all said that they¡¯ve never seen miss Xiaoyu, so there¡¯s a high chance that Liu Siyu isn¡¯t Ms. Xiaoyu.¡± Ji Lingchen stared at the photo. After a while, he saw the young woman in the private elevator through the surveince camera. He put away the photo. ¡°Leave. Xiaonuan will be here soon. Don¡¯t mention this to her.¡± Assistant Liu turned around to leave, and Fang Xiaonuan happened to reach the door at the same time. She pushed it open and shouted, ¡°Hubby!¡± ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled when he saw her. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve already investigated. Xiaoyu isn¡¯t your sister. I¡¯ve looked through all her photos. It¡¯s definitely not her.¡± Ji Lingchen picked up a drink, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to his little wife. ¡°You must be mistaken.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took a sip of her drink. ¡°Yes, I was wrong,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Xiaonuan, shall we go on a date?¡± he turned off hisputer. ¡°You want to go on a date?¡± Fang Xiaonuan and her husband went on a date once every two to three days. This made her feel that dating was a very normal thing, and she no longer looked forward to it as much as she had before. One time, when she was about to fall asleep, her husband woke her and took her to a mountaintop to look at the stars. ¡°Looking at the stars is also a date,¡± her husband had said. Once, she said that she was bored and had nothing to do at home. Her husband immediately took her to Happy Valley and they hung out there for the whole day. Only when she returned home, it urred to her that she had ss that day. ¡°You¡¯re the principal. Who would dare to say that you¡¯re skipping ss?¡± ¡°Hubby,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said eloquently, ¡°Even if I don¡¯t go to school, I¡¯ll still get a graduation certificate. It¡¯s because I¡¯m the principal, right?¡± Ji Lingchen was once again at a loss for words. During this period, Fang Xiaonuan would sleep soundly every time they visited the cinema. She had no interest in going to Happy Valley, and she was also listless when she went to see the sea. Only when she ate meat would she be full of energy. She could spend hours eating at Shuxiang Garden and eat until the dessert shops closed. ¡°You¡¯re a glutton!¡± Ji Lingchen concluded. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband with an innocent expression. ¡°What? You can¡¯t afford it? I can let someone else take care of that. ¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife as he embraced her. He said softly, ¡°I can take care of you. I can also take care of a little glutton.¡± Ji Lingchen also realized that his kitten did not appreciate art that much. One day, Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, do you know what Chopin does for a living?¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s an artist,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°Who¡¯s Van Gogh?¡± ¡°He ys music?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s Edison?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know this? He¡¯s a very famous inventor. He was the one who invented the light bulb!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said with slight disdain. She suddenly felt that her husband¡¯s IQ was not that high! Ji Lingchen felt relieved. Fortunately, his little wife still picked up some things from her school lessons. She had retained a little, although not much. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, ¡°Hubby, Newton was the one who got hit by the apple, right?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, you were still studying liberal arts when you first started studying science, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Why are you asking? Does it matter?¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. He only wanted to know how a fool like his little wife managed to get into university. ¡°Did you cheat during the college entrance exam?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately shook her head and said in an aggrieved tone, ¡°Hubby, I don¡¯t dare to cheat. The teacher told me that I¡¯d go to jail if I was caught.¡± Ji Lingchenughed bitterly. His little wife must have been very lucky to be able to get into college. If she had not been lucky enough to understand the exam questions, she would have scolded the person who prepared the paper. He did not want his wife to continue helping him with his search for his sister because she and Liu Siyu were best friends. She was biased. He had indeed seen the bite scar that day. If Liu Siyu was really his sister, Xiaonuan would be caught in the middle. ¡°I¡¯ll take you out to y,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ll say this first. I¡¯m not going to some museum or art gallery.¡± ¡°Food street?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately giggled and hugged her husband¡¯s arm. She leaned her head on his shoulder and said coyly, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re the best.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his kitten. It was hard not to smile at her. He held his wife¡¯s hand, and they left the office together. Chapter 251 - 251 Snatching the Handphone 251 Snatching the Handphone After the two of them left, Assistant Liu and Secretary Song whispered amongst themselves. ¡°Secretary Song, why does the CEO always skip work every time Madames?¡± ¡°Why are you asking me?¡± Secretary Song asked. ¡°Because you¡¯re also married,¡± Assistant Liu replied. Before Ji Lingchen got married, he would even sleep in the office. Ever since he got married, he would forget about work every time he saw his little wife. He had be someone who only knew how to spend time with his wife. Secretary Song said, ¡°Not all married people are the same. Thank you. The CEO is something else. The rest of us are mere mortals.¡± Ji Lingchen, the one they thought of as inhuman, brought his wife to Snack Street. When Old Master Ji, who was at home, found out, he felt indignant. He grabbed his grandson¡¯s hand and kept on ridiculing the couple. ¡°Grandson, let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll catch them in the act together!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going,¡± Ji Wen said while ying his game. ¡°When I find the two of them, I¡¯ll beat them up for you!¡± Ji Wen¡¯s eyes were fixed on his phone as he said, ¡°Now, you think of me as your grandson? It¡¯s toote for that!¡± He was ying a racing game and was engrossed in it. Old Master Ji had been grumbling beside him, but when he saw his grandson¡¯s phone screen, he became interested. ¡°Go left, so stupid! Why didn¡¯t you go to the left? How can you be so bad at this? Come, let me show you how it¡¯s done.¡± As he spoke, Old Master Ji reached out to grab his grandson¡¯s phone. Ji Wen quickly held onto his phone. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a phone? go and y with your own.¡± Old Master Ji took out his phone from his pocket. ¡°Then, download this game for me. I¡¯ll y on yours first.¡± Ji Wen did not want to give it to him, so Old Master Ji directly snatched it. His grandfather reached for his phone, and Ji Wen fell off the sofa trying to keep it out of his hands. He cried for help. ¡°Mom, save me! Grandpa is taking my phone. Save me!¡± Feng Qi heard themotion and came out to take a look, then turned around and went back into the room. She acted like she did not see anything. Ji Wen was speechless. In the end, Old Master Ji managed to grab the phone. He picked it up and started ying games. He even chose a cool motorcycle for himself. ¡°Don¡¯t mess with my level,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°That¡¯s impossible,¡± Old Master Ji said. He was really good at riding motorcycles when he was young! As soon as he finished speaking, the starting signal red, and Old Master Ji¡¯s motorcycle crashed into the wall on the side of the road. Old Master Ji chuckled nervously. Ji Wen was at a loss for words. He thought he was good? ¡°You better give me my phone back.¡± Ji Wen took the opportunity to take back his phone and continued ying on his own. Old Master Ji¡¯s eyes were glued to the screen. ¡°Hurry up! Overtake!¡± Seeing that his grandson had failed to overtake the car, Old Master Ji said, ¡°Look at your driving skills. They¡¯re so bad. You¡¯re nothing!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Here, here, here. If you¡¯re good, you can navigate this.¡± Old Master Ji nced at theplicated map and thought of what he had just done. He put his hands behind his back. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll guide you.¡± ¡°I think you just don¡¯t know how,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°I think you¡¯re just going to get beaten up!¡± Old Master Ji raised his walking stick to scare his grandson. The grandfather-grandson pair did not share even a moment of silence. While they were ying the game, the living room was filled with their bickering. Old Master Ji liked to teach others. He woulde up with ideas when he had nothing to do, but every time, he would fail. However, he would always say that failure was the mother of sess, and then continue to give advice. In the end, the game was over. With Old Master Ji¡¯s guidance, Ji Wen¡¯s level dropped from level 9 to Level 6. The grandfather and grandson looked at the terrible progress they had made and fell silent. During dinner, Old Master Ji tried tofort his grandson. ¡°Xiaowen, ah...¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me,¡± Ji Wen said. Old Master Ji,¡± I¡¯m a little scared now.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch me,¡± Ji Wen said. Old Master Ji said, ¡°Ah! I¡¯m going to take a walk in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me,¡± Ji Wen said. Every time Old Master Ji wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Ji Wen. Feng Qi¡¯s expression darkened. She said that her son was being too disrespectful to his grandfather. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t be angry. Xiaowen is quite filial and respects me. A child can¡¯t be punished for that. Ji Wen is our only heir.¡± Old Master Ji had now turned into a kind grandfather who protected his grandson. He hadpletely forgotten about how he had ridiculed his grandson on the sofa and snatched his phone. That night, Fang Xiaonuan returned home after her date with her husband. She was holding arge paper bowl in her hand, which was filled with delicious food from Snack Street. ¡°Dad, are you asleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Old Master Ji was very good at acting. He walked down the stairs and said, ¡°Ugh, you two heartless people are back.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled ingratiatingly and said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s all my husband¡¯s fault. Why do you think he brought me to Snack Street like he had nothing better to do? I¡¯ve overeaten and I¡¯m definitely going to gain weight.¡± Chapter 252 - 252 The Friendship Between Girls 252 The Friendship Between Girls Old Master Ji snorted angrily, disdaining his second daughter-inw¡¯s words. Fang Xiaonuan held up the bowl in her hands as if she was presenting a treasure. ¡°Tada! Dad, look at what¡¯s inside.¡± Old Master Ji had long smelled the fragrance, but he would not bring it up. Fang Xiaonuan changed her shoes and walked over to give Old Master Ji the snacks she had bought. ¡°Dad, your son is unfilial, but I¡¯m very filial. Although I¡¯ve eaten a lot of good food behind your back, I still miss you with every bite I take. So, I brought these back especially for you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it,¡± Old Master Ji said. He brought the snacks to the dining room happily. As he ate, heined to Fang Xiaonuan about Ji Wen, saying that Ji Wen was ignoring him. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go and avenge you!¡± Fang Xiaonuan rolled up her sleeves and went upstairs to look for Ji Wen. Old Master Ji felt extremely carefree and ate even more happily. Ji Lingchen chimed in, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t eat too much. Don¡¯tnd yourself in the hospital again.¡± When they were at Snack Street, he had told his wife to buy less, but she did not listen at all. She bought everything she saw and was only willing to go home when she had enough paper bowls. ¡°Unfilial son!¡± Ji Lingchen awkwardly rubbed his nose. ¡°These are for children. You¡¯re not young anymore. Your stomach won¡¯t be able to take it if you eat too much. Prepare axative and put it by the bed tonight.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t curse me,¡± Old Master Ji said disdainfully. At that moment, Ji Lingchen¡¯s phone rang. He looked at his father worriedly and went upstairs with his phone. Fang Xiaonuan went to Ji Wen¡¯s room to y, and when Ji Lingchen passed by, he heardughtering from inside. He pushed open the door to his nephew¡¯s room and looked at his little wife, who was smiling happily. ¡°Come back to the room after ying for a while. Sleep early tonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Alright.¡± She was just like Ji Lingchen¡¯s daughter. She would go out to y and he would remind her toe home early. Ji Lingchen went to the study and picked up the phone. ¡°What¡¯s the result of theparison?¡± It was Assistant Liu on the other end of the phone. He said, ¡°ording to the analysis of the skulls, the photos of Ms. Xiaoyu and Liu Siyu are 60% simr. However, Liu Siyu now looks even more simr to her younger self. ¡°Have you found the surveince footage?¡± Assistant Liu said, ¡°I didn¡¯t manage to find anything. Liu Siyu was wearing a loose sweater that day and it covered the scar on her arm. Also, the location that you mentioned was hard to capture on the surveince camera.¡± Ji Lingchen remained silent in the study for a long time. ¡°CEO Ji,¡± assistant Liu said. ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, let Madam help you confirm the bite marks. The two of them had a good rtionship, so it is easy for her to look at her arm.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let Xiaonuan do it before I¡¯m 100% sure,¡± Ji Lingchen replied calmly. ¡°She and Liu Siyu are very good friends. If they find out, it might affect their friendship in the future.¡± He did not want to risk his wife losing her good friend over something that had yet to be confirmed. Moreover, this matter was very likely to offend his good friend¡¯s family, so he did not want to rm his wife. After all, anyone who was told that they might not be their parents¡¯ child would be angry. He would only tell his little wife when he had full confidence. ¡°I remember that Mr. And Mrs. Liu¡¯s blood types are A and AB. Liu Siyan is also type A.¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly said. Assistant Liu did not understand what the CEO meant. ¡°Xiaoyu¡¯s blood type is O,¡± Ji Lingchen added. Assistant Liu understood. ¡°But, CEO, we didn¡¯t have the chance to get in touch with Ms. Liu Siyu. ording to our investigation, Liu Siyan takes her to school every day. When she¡¯s in school, she¡¯s always with Madam. They even go to the toilet together.¡± At this point, Assistant Liu could not understand the friendship between girls. It was understandable for them to go shopping together, but why did they have to go to the toilet together? Were they conjoined twins? The kind that could not live if they were separated? The strangest thing was that sometimes, Madam did not even go to the toilet. She just waited at the door. He really could not understand. Because the madam was there and Assistant Liu had seen the video of the madam¡¯spetition, he did not dare to offend the madam at all. When they were tailing them, they only dared to follow from a distance. After school, they still did not dare to get close, because there was still the police captain, Liu Siyan, to consider. Ji Lingchen thought that there should be a record of the physical examination in the college entrance examination. ¡°When Liu Siyu was born, there was also a record. We just need topare these two records and we¡¯ll know.¡± Assistant Liu was suddenly enlightened. He was indeed a clever CEO! ¡°Understood, CEO. I¡¯ll investigate it immediately!¡± Assistant Liu hung up the phone and went to investigate. Chapter 253 - 253 CEO Ji Won with His Wife 253 CEO Ji Won with His Wife Ji Lingchen put his phone down and opened his photo album. Looking at Liu Siyu¡¯s photo, he felt that five-year-old Liu Siyu lookedpletely different from the photo he had now. He had a feeling that Liu Siyu was his sister! Ji Wen was ying games in the bedroom. Fang Xiaonuan was ying with him. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s a good thing I didn¡¯t teach Dad to y Challenger. Otherwise, he¡¯d ask us to y with him all the time.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I can¡¯t teach him everything. He¡¯s already so old. If he¡¯s bored, he should just y Fight the Landlord and Snake. You just had to teach him how to y PUBG. A few days ago, he used my ount to y PUBG and lost each time. Once, he even killed his teammate and kept apologizing!¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not help butugh. ¡°Hmph, no matter how many points you deduct from me, my rank will still be higher than yours.¡± The two of them chatted for a while before Ji Lingchen knocked on the door. ¡°Xiaonuan, stop ying now. Come back to the room, shower, and sleep.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Got it, hubby. Just wait a little longer. This round will be over soon!¡± The two of them continued ying the game, and Fang Xiaonuan added, ¡°I¡¯ll teach Dad how to y Anipop tomorrow.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Sounds good. Hurry up and teach him how to y that. This kind of game is based on skill and it won¡¯t suit a man of his age.¡± After winning thest round, Fang Xiaonuan left with her phone. In the bedroom, Ji Lingchen had juste out of the bathroom after a shower. He said with a hint of jealousy, ¡°Don¡¯t always hang out with Xiaowen. You¡¯re his aunt, not his girlfriend!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m ying with him because I want to advance to the next rank. He¡¯s the best. I can¡¯t advance by myself.¡± ¡°Boys don¡¯t study hard; they only know how to y games,¡± Ji Lingchen said disdainfully. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t say that. Xiaoyu and I always copied his work during exams.¡± ¡°You¡¯replimenting him?¡± Ji Lingchen was thoroughly jealous. Fang Xiaonuan smiled sweetly and hugged her husband¡¯s waist. ¡°No, I¡¯m just using him. I¡¯m using him to help me advance just like I used him to help me pass the exams. That way, I don¡¯t have to study hard and I don¡¯t have to waste effort to climb the ranks! With the time and energy saved, I can spend my time going on dates with you!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was really good at sweet talking. Ji Lingchen understood that well. His understanding of what his wife said was that she did not study or y games because she wanted to spend time with him. ¡°What game were you ying?¡± ¡°Kings of Glory,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°Okay, then don¡¯t y with him anymore. I¡¯ll bring you up the ranks,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan was surprised that her husband knew how to y this kind of game. ¡°You¡¯re the only one I¡¯m taking, no one else,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice. ¡°Alright! But, hubby, have you ever yed Challenger before?¡± ¡°Give me a day. I can definitely learn it,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. Her husband had never yed it before, and he wanted to bring her up the ranks? As it turned out, her husband had not been lying. Ji Lingchen only took one day to learn the king tier. Every night after that, the young couple would snuggle under the covers and y games. Fang Xiaonuan would lie on her husband¡¯sp and sleep her way to victory. However, her husband had to pay a ¡®price¡¯ for taking her along. Fang Xiaonuan wanted to cry but had no tears. She often paid the ¡°price ¡± until her legs went soft. Of course, this was all in the future. The next morning, Ji Lingchen wanted to send his young wife to school. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Do I need a reason to send you to school?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was puffed up. Although she was sometimes silly, she was still intelligent. Could it be that her husband wanted to go and see Liu Siyu? ¡°Honey, do you have any other reason for wanting to? Do you want to see someone?¡± ¡°Who would that be?¡± Ji Lingchen feigned ignorance. He knew that his wife was asking about Liu Siyu, but he did not deny it on purpose. This way, his wife would suspect that she was overthinking it. Although Fang Xiaonuan could not be sure of her husband¡¯s motives, she refused to let him send her. ¡°It¡¯s been a while since you started school,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°Yet, I haven¡¯t dropped you off before. I¡¯ll take this opportunity to meet your school head.¡± ¡°Our school¡¯s highest-ranking head is right here!¡± Ji Lingchen kept silent. She had gotten in his way. In the morning, he did not manage to send his wife off, but he went to pick her up from school in the afternoon. When the students in the ssroom saw the man at the door, they became restless and hurriedly told Fang Xiaonuan to look behind her. Fang Xiaonuan turned around and saw a man with a face full of smiles. Chapter 254 - 254 If They Don’t Kiss, Their Mouths Will Itch 254 If They Don¡¯t Kiss, Their Mouths Will Itch ¡°Wow,¡± Liu Siyu teased. ¡°You¡¯re smiling so widely at your man that your eyes are slits.¡± ¡°No, they¡¯re not,¡± Fang Xiaonuan retorted. ¡°They have be lines.¡± When the bell rang, Fang Xiaonuan left her belongings and ran straight to her husband. ¡°Hubby, I didn¡¯t let you send me this morning, but you came to pick me up in the afternoon. Did you miss me that much?¡± Ji Lingchen had been with his little wife for a long time, and he had slowly learned how to coax people. He immediately applied what he had learned. ¡°I thought of you while I was working. I¡¯m not in the mood for meetings, so I got off work early to pick you up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s smile grew even wider, but she still lectured her husband, ¡°You can¡¯t always be like this. You can¡¯t just leave your office like this. What if thepany goes bankrupt because all you think about is me?¡± Ji Lingchen ruffled his wife¡¯s soft hair. ¡°You didn¡¯t even take your books?¡± ¡°Nope. Xiaowen and Xiaoyu will help me with it,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Sure enough, after a while, Liu Siyu and Ji Wen came out with a stack of books. Ji Lingchen was about to take it, but Fang Xiaonuan was faster and took it directly. CEO Ji¡¯s hand awkwardly hung in the air, and he could only silently withdraw it. He nced at Liu Siyu¡¯s arm and asked, ¡°Do you have a scar on this arm?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart trembled. She kept her smile in ce and stared at her husband. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re...¡± ¡°I¡¯m just asking,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Hearing her husband¡¯s words, Fang Xiaonuan immediately understood what he was thinking. She could no longer smile, and her expression turned sour. Her tender little face also became serious. Liu Siyu felt that the atmosphere was not right. She smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pointed at her arm and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask me if I have a scar?¡± ¡°I see your arm every day. I know if you have scars,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. The three of them giggled. Ji Lingchen¡¯s words made it easy for their imaginations to run wild. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face turned red. She felt that her husband had been too direct and that her friends would misunderstand. However, it was true that she was always running around the bedroom with her arms and legs exposed, so she really could not refute it. After a while, Liu Siyan arrived. When he saw Ji Lingchen, he immediately went to his sister¡¯s side. ¡°CEO Ji, you¡¯re here to pick Xiaonuan up?¡± ¡°Yeah, aren¡¯t you here to pick up your sister? You¡¯re more diligent than your parents. You pick her up all the time. Are you that free at the police station?¡± Liu Siyan smiled. ¡°I¡¯m used to picking her up. It¡¯s been peaceful in Jing City recently. I¡¯m not busy.¡± He did not say much else and reached for his sister¡¯s hand. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife beside him. Her round almond-shaped eyes almost saw right through him. ¡°I¡¯m really here to pick you up from school,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Bah! Ji Lingchen, you¡¯re getting more and more dishonest, and now you¡¯re even learning how to use me!¡± After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with Ji Wen. She wanted to go home with Ji Wen. Ji Wen was terrified. ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t follow me. I haven¡¯t lived long enough!¡± Fang Xiaonuan pulled on Ji Wen¡¯s sleeve and pulled him forward without giving him a chance to refuse her. Ji Lingchen followed her. He grabbed his little wife¡¯s arm and pulled her into his arms, then bent down and carried her like a princess. Fang Xiaonuan was carried up before she could even react! Students were all around, secretly watching the show. The incident of Ji Lingchen carrying his wife quickly made it to the school¡¯s forum. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ji Lingchen!¡± ¡°Call me hubby,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°B*stard!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°No matter how much of a b*stard I am, I am still your husband,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. He did not care about everyone watching him. He immediately carried his noisy little wife to the front passenger seat and fastened her seat belt for her. ¡°I¡¯m really here to pick you up.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Fang Xiaonuan angrily turned her face to the side. Ji Lingchen leaned over and nted a kiss on her fair and tender little face. It was very light, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. Then, he walked to the driver¡¯s seat, started the car, and took his wife away. ... In another car, on the way home, Liu Siyan¡¯s brows were furrowed. ¡°Xiaoyu, Xiaonuan has beening to our house to look at your photos recently. Her husband has also gone to your school to look for you. What¡¯s going on? ¡± ¡°Ah? The photos? Xiaonuan said she wanted to see photos of me when I was young. It¡¯s not a big deal, so I showed them to her. She looked at mine, and I looked at hers. Besides, her husband isn¡¯t here for me. He¡¯s here to pick her up. They have a great rtionship, and I heard from Ji Wen that they have to kiss every day, otherwise their mouths will itch.¡± Chapter 255 - 255 The Little Artist 255 The Little Artist Liu Siyan said, ¡°Grandfather isn¡¯t doing very well. Grandfather and grandmother will being to stay at our house soon. Don¡¯t invite your ssmates to our house for a while. You¡¯ll disturb them. Plus, that Ji Lingchen, his identity, and status are extraordinary. He¡¯s veryplex. Even if he goes to pick Xiaonuan up from school, you have to know how to avoid suspicion and interact less with them. Even though he¡¯s Xiaonuan¡¯s husband, he¡¯s still a stranger to you.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°I know. Brother, you don¡¯t have to remind me. I know.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Liu Siyan replied. While he was driving, he subconsciously nced at his sister¡¯s arm and did not say anything. Ji Lingchen brought his little wife to his office. He worked using hisputer while Fang Xiaonuan curled up on the sofa and yed games. He walked to his wife¡¯s side, but she ignored him. He picked up his wife¡¯s textbook and flipped it open. On one of the pages of the book, it was written, ¡°Ji Lingchen mentioned in an interview that it was the age of the inte. Big data...¡± There, he saw a hand-drawn bird next to his name. The little bird seemed to be pecking at his name. Other than the little bird, he read, ¡°¡®s wife.¡± When read with the edits, it sounded like this, ¡°Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife was interviewed...¡± His wife? He turned his head to look at his soft and cute little wife. She was really naughty! She was tapping furiously on the screen, probably because she was about to lose the game. Ji Lingchen did not disturb her and continued to flip through her textbook. As expected, there were more sections about him. ¡°Ji Lingchen leads the Ji Corporation to the forefront of the times, economic reform.¡± Fang Xiaonuan drew a pile of poop next to his name and even made an annotation: ¡°Although he is human, he does not sound like a human being.¡± She could not understand the text, so she attributed the mistake to her husband¡¯s manner of speaking. Ji Lingchen smiled, revealing his pearly teeth. There were very few things that could make him so happy. He sighed to himself. It seemed that he had to speak simply and clearly in the future. Otherwise, his kitten would me him if she did not understand. Just as Ji Lingchen was about to continue reading, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly snatched the book away. ¡°Why are you reading my textbook?¡± Ji Lingchen was in a good mood. ¡°I just wanted to see if my little friend was paying attention in ss.¡± Fang Xiaonuan closed the book and ced it under her butt, refusing to let her husband read it. ¡°Why won¡¯t you let me see?¡± Ji Lingchen raised his brows. ¡°No reason,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said guiltily. She could not let her husband see the rest of the content. Forget about the first few. If he saw that she had drawn all over his photos, making him look like a pig, would he spank her butt? ¡°Let me see the rest,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else, you don¡¯t have to look anymore,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. When he saw his wife¡¯s flustered expression, Ji Lingchen knew that the content was not as simple as it seemed. There might be a ¡°surprise¡± waiting for him. ¡°Let me see the book again,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan picked up another book and stuffed it into her husband¡¯s hands. ¡°Look at this!¡± Ji Lingchen put that book aside and went up to his little wife without a word. He hugged her waist and ced her on hisp with one hand. Her little butt was facing up, so it was easy to hit her! Fang Xiaonuan was sprawled on the man¡¯s legs, and she tried to prop herself up so she could get off. ¡°Hubby, you b*stard!¡± Ji Lingchen sessfully retrieved the textbook. It was warm because his wife had sat on it. He started flipping through it again. Fang Xiaonuan wanted to get up again, but her husband held her down by the neck and she could not move at all. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re not allowed to look. Let me go!¡± She kept swinging her arms, but her movements were restricted, so she could not hit him at all. On page 56, Ji Lingchen¡¯s portrait turned into that of a pig¡¯s head. On page 73, he had an unttering nose and a pockmarked face. On page 125, he did not even have the basic features of a human. His kitten drew mouse teeth on him and cat whiskers. His hair was red and he had a pair of pig¡¯s ears on his head. The name at the bottom was also crossed out and changed to ¡°Zhu Bajie.¡± Smack! He spanked Fang Xiaonuan. She was so embarrassed that her face turned tomato red. ¡°Hubby!¡± ¡°If you like drawing so much, I¡¯ll let you take art sses.¡± Fang Xiaonuan tried to turn around, and this time, Ji Lingchen did not restrict her movements. She rolled over on her husband¡¯sp, then used her husband¡¯s shoulder to pull herself up. She said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, I don¡¯t want to!¡± Ji Lingchen nced at his little wife. He picked up his phone and was about to order Secretary Song to get his wife a good drawing board. This way, his little kitten could be a little artist. Chapter 256 - 256 Looking for a Boyfriend 256 Looking for a Boyfriend ¡°Don¡¯t, hubby. I love you too much. That¡¯s why I drew all that.¡± Fang Xiaonuan wanted to snatch her husband¡¯s phone away. Ji Lingchen raised his arm high, and Fang Xiaonuan dodged. She immediately changed her tactic and held her husband¡¯s face, looked at him affectionately, and took the initiative to kiss him. ¡°Hubby, can I not go to art ss? I know I¡¯m wrong. I won¡¯t draw again.¡± Ji Lingchen was addicted to teaching his little wife a lesson. ¡°You can stop going when you learn how to draw a portrait of me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and leaned forward to kiss her husband a few more times. ¡°Hubby, I was wrong.¡± ¡°Kissing me is useless,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Should I offer myself?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife in his arms. She usually did not keep her word. Ji Lingchen knew her too well, so he did not believe her. ¡°Why don¡¯t you give yourself up first, then?¡± Fang Xiaonuan jumped up and tried to snatch her husband¡¯s phone away again, but someone knocked on the office door. ¡°CEO, may Ie in?¡± It was Assistant Liu. ¡°Yes, definitely yes. Come in quickly,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said immediately. She had to get her husband busy with work as soon as possible. Once he got busy, he would forget about her drawing all over his photos. Assistant Liu pushed the door open and entered. He realized that there was no one at the desk. Then, he turned and saw the couple on the sofa. Fang Xiaonuan sat in her husband¡¯s arms and her hands were on his chest. She said coyly, ¡°Hubby, I know I was wrong. Being angry is bad for your health. Work is more important. You can go back to your work. I¡¯ll leave.¡± ¡°Fix the pictures in the book. Make them look normal again,¡± Ji Lingchen ordered. ¡°I¡¯ll go do it right now!¡± Fang Xiaonuan picked up her books and quickly ran out. ¡°CEO, did Ie at a bad time?¡± Assistant Liu looked at him awkwardly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just scaring her. Tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Fang Xiaonuan ran out of the office and went straight to the pantry. She borrowed an eraser from an employee and flipped open a book to erase the ¡°masterpieces¡± from before. Fang Xiaonuan imitated her husband and said, ¡°If you wanted a beating, you could have just asked. You didn¡¯t need to draw on your book!¡± While she was erasing the stuff, she continued mocking him and also threatened him by saying that she would beat him up for making her do this. Secretary Song was passing by and saw Fang Xiaonuan sitting by the side. She gave her a bottle of water. ¡°Madam, I don¡¯t think violence is the answer.¡± Fang Xiaonuan retorted, ¡°If violence isn¡¯t the answer, you¡¯re just not using enough of it.¡± Secretary Song looked at the angry young madam and lowered her head. She looked at the drawing in the book and asked, ¡°Madam, how did CEO Ji punish you?¡± ¡°He asked me to erase it,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°What if it can¡¯t be erased?¡± Secretary Song asked. ¡°If I can¡¯t erase it, I¡¯ll just tear it off!¡± She was not going to attend any bullsh*t art sses! Secretary Song sat with Fang Xiaonuan as she erased the drawings in the book. They even started chatting. ¡°If Ji Lingchen dares to send me to an art ss, I¡¯ll find a boyfriend there. Let¡¯s see who¡¯ll be angry then!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said indignantly. ¡°Madam,¡± Secretary Song said. ¡°I¡¯d like to give you a piece of advice. Don¡¯t mess with your husband. Treasure your life.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was disdainful. ¡°You guys might be afraid of him, but I¡¯m not. I¡¯m not an employee. What can he do to me?¡± Ji Lingchen crossed his arms and stood quietly behind the two of them. He looked at his little wife who wanted to cheat on him and heard her rebellious words. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It can¡¯t be erased at all. Is Ji Lingchen¡¯s head filled with water? How can ink from a pen be erased!¡± ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll go buy a new one to fool around with.¡± Secretary Song tried too, but the ink could not be removed even when she dipped the page in some water. She said lightly, ¡°Madam, the president really hates being made a fool of.¡± ¡°Secretary Song, do you know who I am?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Seeing Secretary Song¡¯s confused face, she continued, ¡°I exist to challenge your CEO¡¯s limits.¡± Even if she really provoked him, she could just go home and act coquettishly. If it still didn¡¯t work, then she would offer herself to him! Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s anger grew, and she decided to give up. Secretary Song was also preparing to go back to work. When she turned around, she was shocked. When did the CEO arrive? Ji Lingchen gestured for Secretary Song to keep quiet, then waved her away. Secretary Song looked at his wife, who was in trouble, and sneaked away without any sense of loyalty. After Secretary Song left, someone took her seat. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Secretary Song, do you know how to y games? Ah! Why are you here!¡± Fang Xiaonuan let out a shrill scream, giving the employees who were focused on their work a shock. ¡°CEO, what¡¯s wrong with Madam?¡± One of the employees recognized Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice and immediately stood up to ask in concern. ¡°The CEO must have scared her,¡± Secretary Song said as she looked in the direction of the pantry. Chapter 257 - 257 Ji Wen is Getting Beaten Up 257 Ji Wen is Getting Beaten Up Fang Xiaonuan had been so overbearing earlier. She spoke as if she was the most powerful person in the world. Now, as soon as she saw her husband, all her imposing manner disappeared. She was now as obedient as a student. ¡°Hubby, did you hear anything just now?¡± ¡°I just heard someone say that my hands and feet look the same. I also heard that someone is nning to find a boyfriend to piss me off.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. Why did she feel a chill down her spine when her husband smiled? ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re not angry, right?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not angry, not at all,¡± Ji Lingchen replied with a smile. He was just a little clumsy and he wanted to teach someone a lesson! Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s true! Swear! That you won¡¯t get angry and that you won¡¯t hit me!¡± ¡°I swear, I¡¯m not angry at all. If I¡¯m lying...¡± Ji Lingchen paused for a moment, then looked at his little wife and continued, ¡°I¡¯m not angry at all. I can punish my wife by spanking her.¡± With that, he walked over and picked up his wife, bringing her back to the office. Fang Xiaonuan did not want to go back, but if she resisted, her husband would lecture her in front of everyone, so it was better to settle this behind closed doors. There, she could still act coquettishly and beg for mercy. At this moment, she no longer felt that she was powerful. ... In the next few days, Fang Xiaonuan turned into a beautiful sight. She was being picked up by a car. When Ji Lingchen had nothing to do, he would flip through her textbook. When he found no drawings in it, he got a little ufortable. Liu Siyu had also be a little strange. She came to school on time every day. After school, it was either Liu Siyan, Mrs. Liu, or the Liu family¡¯s chauffeur who came to pick her up. ¡°Xiaonuan, why has your husband been treating you so well over the past few days?¡± Liu Siyu asked curiously. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°There¡¯s a picture of him in the textbook, right? I drew on it and gave him a pig¡¯s head. If he sees anything like that, he will punish me by picking me up every day. He¡¯ll let everyone know that he¡¯s my husband.¡± Fang Xiaonuan also asked, ¡°Xiaoyu, why are you so busytely?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°My brother and my mom heard that a serial killer in Jing City is on the run. They¡¯re looking for pretty girls to kill. My brother said that I¡¯m pretty and would be the murderer¡¯s target, so my family has been picking me up every day.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Ji Wen was reviewing his notes beside them, preparing for the uing exam. It was cold now, and the windows were closed. The room was a little stuffy, and many people would be napping on the table after lunch. ¡°Xiaonuan, what¡¯s Xiaowen doing?¡± Liu Siyu suddenly realized that Ji Wen was gone. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly realized it too. ¡°That¡¯s right. Why is my nephew missing? It¡¯s so cold outside, and his coat is still on the chair.¡± The ssroom was very quiet. Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu stood up and went outside to call Ji Wen. No one picked up the first time. On the second call, Ji Wen picked up the phone and hurriedly shouted, ¡°Back door, alley, save us!¡± After that, the sound of a phone falling to the ground came from the other end of the line, followed by a girl¡¯s cry, ¡°Stop fighting!¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu looked at each other, then immediately turned around and ran toward the back door. When they reached the ce, they saw a girl crying and shouting for them not to hit her. Ji Wen was pushed to the ground, and seven men were surrounding him. They were beating him up. There was also a man sitting nearby, and his face was injured. He pointed at Ji Wen and yelled, ¡°Beat this brat to death. He actually dared to meddle in my business. Beat him to death!¡± When Fang Xiaonuan saw that Ji Wen was getting beaten up, anger instantly surged through her. She red at them angrily. ¡°How dare you hit my nephew like this? What do you take me for!¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s heart ached when she saw Ji Wen getting beaten up, and she became even angrier. ¡°Xiaonuan, go and take care of them. Leave Xiaowen to me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists and dashed into the crowd. To Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu, although Ji Wen looked like ackey whom they bullied a lot, they thought of him as their younger brother. They protected him. Only they could bully Ji Wen. No one else could! This time, these hooligans actually dared to beat up Xiaowen in front of them! In the past, someone had seen Fang Xiaonuan bullying Ji Wen and felt that Ji Wen was a pushover. So, she had wanted him to stay behind to help her clean up. Before Ji Wen could reject her, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s temper red up and she started fighting with the girl in front of everyone. She only stopped after the girl was unable to fight back. It was a one-sided victory. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s punchesnded on flesh, and this matter even rmed the school¡¯s leaders. Later, she was criticized and educated, but since then, no one dared to bully Ji Wen. After that, when she was older, some people liked Liu Siyu, but Liu Siyu was ¡°good ¡± to Ji Wen. This made other people think that she liked Ji Wen. These people spread the word that they would properly deal with Ji Wen and even threatened to disfigure him. Chapter 258 - 258 Injured 258 Injured Liu Siyu was so angry that she called her brother over. He brought a group of people to the location and gave them a good beating. At that time, only these two could bully Ji Wen, and no one else could even think about it. ... Fang Xiaonuan rushed into the crowd and started to attack. Liu Siyu did not know anything about fighting. She bent down and avoided the action to keep from getting hurt. She quickly walked to Ji Wen¡¯s side and squatted down to check the injuries on his face. Ji Wen¡¯s white sweater was full of boot prints. Liu Siyu held Ji Wen¡¯s head in her hands, her heart aching. Her eyes were slightly red when she saw the wound on his head. ¡°Xiaowen, can you still get up?¡± Ji Wen got up with difficulty and she helped him away from the chaotic crowd. There was a row of sticks by the wall, and people had used them to beat him. Ji Wen picked up a stick and shouted at Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Aunt, catch!¡± He threw the stick at Fang Xiaonuan. The ten years they had spent together were not in vain. Fang Xiaonuan turned around tacitly and reached out to catch the stick. This time, she did not need to use her fists. The stick moved with her like they were one unit. Her movements were fluid. Those people had only managed to knock Ji Wen to the ground because they had the advantage of numbers. They had never trained before, so they were no match for Fang Xiaonuan at all. One hit from Fang Xiaonuan knocked one of them unconscious, causing him to fall limply to the ground. Then, she turned around and swung her arm at the back of another person¡¯s head. ... Liu Siyu helped Ji Wen to somewhere far from the crowd. The girl who had been crying and shouting just now also came over. She wanted to help Ji Wen and check his injuries. ¡°Have you called the police?¡± Liu Siyu asked. Ji Wen raised his head and looked at the girl, waiting for her answer. The crying girl shook her head. ¡°I forgot, I forgot.¡± ¡°I told you to call the police,¡± Ji Wen said angrily. ¡°I-I saw them beating you up, so I forgot about that.¡± Liu Siyu immediately grabbed her phone and called her brother. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m in trouble.¡± ¡°Address?¡± Liu Siyan asked, pinching the space between his eyebrows. His nerves were twitching. Liu Siyu looked at the narrow alley and the people on the ground. ¡°You don¡¯t have toe over. Just go to the hospital and meet me there.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the eight people who could no longer get up, and her breathing quickened. She was exhausted from beating them up. If Ji Wen had not thrown the stick at her, she would not have been able to deal with these people so easily. ¡°Xiaoyu, call for an ambnce,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Liu Siyu had already called. At Ji Corporation, Assistant Liu ran into the office in a panic. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°CEO Ji, Xiaowen was beaten up. Madam got into a fight, and Liu Siyu was there too.¡± ¡°What?¡± Assistant Liu immediately exined in detail, ¡°Xiaowen got beaten up by a few gangsters. After Madam found out, she went to save Xiaowen. She didn¡¯t control her strength well and sent everyone to the hospital. When the ambnce arrived, Liu Siyu gave each of them a kick.¡± In order to investigate Liu Siyu¡¯s identity, he had sent someone to follow her. He got the information from these people. It was a coincidence that Ji Lingchen¡¯s men saw this and wanted to go forward to protect his wife, but they realized that they would only add to her troubles. Their ¡°weak¡± young madam had knocked down eight adult men. Then, she sat on the ground to rest. Liu Siyu was furious when she saw that those people had no power to fight back. She stepped forward and kicked everyone to avenge Ji Wen. When the ambnce arrived, the people on the ground were pulled away. Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu also brought Ji Wen to the hospital. They had to examine his body so that any internal injuries he suffered could be treated in time. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s driving skills came in handy as she drove to the hospital with her nephew. The girl from before also wanted to follow them. Liu Siyu had always been sharp-tongued, and she roared at the girl, ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out that my Xiaowen was beaten up because of you. If you were the one who provoked those gangsters, I won¡¯t let you off!¡± The girl was so frightened by Liu Siyu that she stayed still and did not dare to speak. When they arrived at the hospital, Fang Xiaonuan parked the car, and Liu Siyu immediately went in to register. The three of them entered the doctor¡¯s office together. Ji Lingchen rushed to the hospital and saw two people helping Ji Wen to get an X-ray. He also saw the wound on Ji Wen¡¯s face. ¡°Uncle, there were so many of them. I couldn¡¯t beat them. Aunt defended me.¡± Ji Wen hurriedly took the initiative to take responsibility. Ji Lingchen stepped forward to check on Ji Wen¡¯s injuries. He frowned and looked at his wife. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip and shook her head obediently. At this moment, Liu Siyan had also arrived at the hospital. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m here,¡± Liu Siyu said. Liu Siyu saw Liu Siyan and immediately ran to his side. Liu Siyan anxiously checked to see if she was injured. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯m fine. Xiaonuan was the one who got into a fight. Xiaowen was injured.¡± Chapter 259 - 259 The Reward for Fighting 259 The Reward for Fighting Liu Siyan nodded and looked at the man who had appeared. ¡°CEO Ji, take Xiaonuan and Xiaowen for a physical examination. I¡¯ll take Xiaoyu for a checkup.¡± After saying that, he did not give his sister a chance to refuse and walked away with her hand in his. At that moment, Ji Lingchen was not in the mood to care about Liu Siyu. He held his wife and nephew¡¯s hands and brought them for a checkup. It was already afternoon by the time they were done. Fang Xiaonuan, who was not injured, also went for a full-body checkup. The gangsters who had been beaten up had also regained consciousness. Liu Siyan found out the reason behind their appearance. These gangsters were loan sharks. The girl had borrowed 60000 Yuan from them. The three-month interest and principal added up to 120000 Yuan. They had asked for the money a few times, but the girl had not returned it. They could only go to the school to search for her. She just happened to run into Ji Wen when he was exiting the store. The girl, who knew she was in danger, immediately went up and hugged Ji Wen¡¯s arm. She cried and begged Ji Wen to save her, and even imed that these people were here to kidnap her. Ji Wen did not know the reason for their presence, so he walked over. When these people saw him, they asked, ¡°Are you her boyfriend?¡± ¡°Who are you?¡± The girl firmly clutched Ji Wen¡¯s arm, afraid that Ji Wen would leave her. Ji Wen wanted to leave, but those people blocked his way. ¡°Little brat, we need to have a good talk. Take them away.¡± The leader ordered his men to take the two to an alley where they would not be seen. The leader said, ¡°Return the money now. 120000. If you don¡¯t have the money, I¡¯ll post your girlfriend¡¯s naked photo online.¡± Ji Wen frowned and looked at the girl beside him. He did not know her at all. ¡°Usury?¡± The leader replied, ¡°What usury? That¡¯s not nice. We¡¯re creditors.¡± ¡°I only borrowed 60000 Yuan to treat my grandfather¡¯s illness. Where would I get 120000 Yuan?¡± The girl sobbed. ¡°Call the police and let them handle it,¡± Ji Wen turned to the girl. As soon as he finished speaking, a few of the gangsters stepped forward and pulled him into the small alley. They directly punched him and said, ¡°You still dare to call the police? It¡¯s only right to pay back your debt, but you want to call the police when you¡¯re in debt?¡± Ji Wen did not back down and started fighting with the person who attacked him. In a one-on-one fight, Ji Wen could still hold his own, but two fists were no match for four hands. With eight people attacking him at the same time, he could not hold them back. He could not even call for help. The first time Fang Xiaonuan called, he could not pick up. On the second call, he reluctantly picked up and shouted, ¡°Back door, alley. Save us.¡± This was all. Just as he finished speaking, his phone was kicked to the ground. In the Public Security Bureau, Ji Lingchen came to understand the whole situation. He looked at his nephew, who seemed to be fine, and said, ¡°Even a hero who saves a beauty has to consider his own abilities. If you¡¯re not even half as good as your aunt, how can you protect someone else?¡± Ji Wen hung his head, not daring to talk back. Fang Xiaonuan hooked her arm around her husband¡¯s. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t lecture Xiaowen anymore. He didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± After understanding the situation, Ji Lingchen brought his wife and nephew home. On the way, he stopped the car on the side of the road and went into the pharmacy to buy medicine for Ji Wen. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen sat in the backseat. She treated Ji Wen¡¯s wound with the medicine. As she examined the wound on his head, she became even angrier and wanted to teach those people a lesson again. Ji Lingchen acquiesced. They had to fight! When they got home, Ji Wen got fussed over. He was treated like the treasure of the Ji family just like he wanted. The whole family was concerned about his well-being. Feng Qi usually ignored her son, and now that her son was injured, her heart ached. ¡°Son, does it hurt? I¡¯ll put some medicine on the wound for you.¡± ¡°Mom, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s fine,¡± Ji Wen said. Feng Qi said, ¡°It¡¯s already swollen, and you¡¯re fine? Lingchen, Xiaonuan, what about the rest of Xiaowen¡¯s body?¡± ¡°I got him a full body check-up. We only headed home after making sure there were no major injuries,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Feng Qi¡¯s heart ached, but she alsoined. ¡°You¡¯re too nice. Why were you so nosy?¡± Mayor Ji saw that his son was injured and only said, ¡°Dad, take a look.¡± His heartache was audible. Old Master Ji was furious. He was so angry that he wanted to chop them all up and feed them to the dogs. ¡°Dad, those people are all in the hospital. We¡¯ll go together when they¡¯re out,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°They¡¯re hospitalized? Who beat them up?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pointed at herself arrogantly. Old Master Ji said, ¡°Well done! I¡¯m going to reward you. What do you want?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was dumbfounded. She was getting a reward for fighting? Was this how the Ji family educated their children? After Ji Wen got injured, he became the ¡°boss¡± at school. Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu took very good care of him. It was cold outside, and they did not let Ji Wen go to buy lunch at noon. They were afraid that Ji Wen¡¯s wounds would get worse in the cold, so they got the food instead. They served him too. This made Ji Wen feel that staying injured for the rest of his life might be a good idea. He even thought, ¡®Why don¡¯t I get someone to beat me up when I¡¯m almost recovered?¡¯ Being served like this felt great! When he was thirsty, someone would pour him some warm water. When he was hungry, someone would buy him food. He was not a girl. Otherwise, these two would even follow him to the toilet. Chapter 260 - 260 The Girl Who Borrowed From the Loan Shark is Here 260 The Girl Who Borrowed From the Loan Shark is Here ¡°Ji Wen, someone¡¯s looking for you. She¡¯s waiting for you at the door.¡± Someone shouted from the door of the ssroom. Ji Wen turned to look at the door. It was the girl who had borrowed money from the loan shark. ¡°Come in,¡± Ji Wen said. When Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu, who had returned from their meal, saw the girl, Fang Xiaonuan immediately walked over and said, ¡°Why are you here? If there¡¯s anything you need, tell me, and don¡¯t disturb my nephew!¡± Ji Wen was sitting down. When he heard the noise outside, he immediately got up to see what was going on. Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu were holding their lunches and drinks as they coldly spoke to the girl from the day before. Ji Wen hurriedly walked over and took a portion of the lunch. ¡°What are you two so excited about?¡± Liu Siyu pointed at the ssroom door. ¡°Xiaowen, go back in.¡± Ji Wen was stunned. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes widened as well and she roared, ¡°Go!¡± Ji Wen obediently took his lunch and went back into the ssroom. He left behind a girl who was sobbing at the door. She was holding a bottle of ointment in her hand. The girl said aggrievedly, ¡°Ji Wen was beaten up because of me. I¡¯m worried about him.¡± Liu Siyu could not stand the strange girl crying beside her and said impatiently, ¡°I warned you. I said that if my Xiaowen got beaten up because of you, I won¡¯t let you off. You¡¯ve clearly made an effort to search high and low for him, and you even had the guts toe here!¡± ¡°Why did you use Xiaowen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked calmly. ¡°I-I didn¡¯t,¡± the girl cried. ¡°Alright, then tell me, what illness is your grandfather suffering from?¡± ¡°It-it¡¯s cancer,¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°What kind of cancer? What is your grandfather¡¯s name? Where was he hospitalized? How much was the surgery? If you¡¯re really in trouble, I can help you immediately, but if you use Xiaowen again, I won¡¯t let you off! As a student of this school, you should know what kind of person I am, right?¡± The girl was speechless. Liu Siyu looked at the girl coldly. ¡°Say something! Are you mute? Hurry up and answer us!¡± ¡°M-my grandfather has already been discharged from the hospital,¡± the girl said with a trembling voice. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I can check his hospitalization records,¡± Liu Siyu said. The girl immediately fell silent and did not say a word. Her eyes drifted away, and she did not dare to look at them. ¡°Hmph, you¡¯ve spent all your money on luxury items, right?¡± Fang Xiaonuan snorted coldly. ¡°You¡¯re only interested in Xiaowen because you know that he is the son of a government official and that his family is rich, right?¡± Liu Siyu chimed in. The girl pursed her lips. She looked pitiful, like she had been victimized. ¡°No, that¡¯s not true!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Since it¡¯s not true, do you dare to prove your innocence? If what you said is true, I¡¯ll help you pay off the loan. However, if you lie and I find out that you approached my nephew with ulterior motives and even used him, I¡¯ll expel you. Do you believe me?¡± The new status her husband gave her made it convenient for her to expel someone immediately in a situation like this! Last night, her husband had practically brainwashed her. ¡°The school is yours. You can do whatever you want. You can expel anyone who provokes you. I¡¯ve already bought the school. If you¡¯re still ufortable with that, then I bought the school for nothing.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was still a little embarrassed, feeling that her husband had taught her all the wrong things. Ji Lingchen continued, ¡°I spent so much money to make youfortable. If you¡¯re notfortable, then it¡¯s meaningless.¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that it made sense. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Before we got married, you were given freedom. Now, I¡¯ll give you the confidence to work hard. As long as you¡¯re happy, I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was moved. ¡°You said it yourself. Even if I do something bad, you have to protect me. Even if I¡¯m unreasonable, you have to protect me.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. ... The girl clutched the ointment she was going to give Ji Wen. Hearing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words reminded her of her status. She did not dare to offend her. She took a step back, trying to turn around and escape. Liu Siyu crossed her arms and stepped forward, blocking the girl¡¯s way. ¡°You want to leave? What do you take me for? Since you¡¯vee to me yourself, don¡¯t even think about leaving. Why did you use Xiaowen?¡± ¡°No, I really didn¡¯t,¡± the girl replied. ¡°I don¡¯t have the patience to listen to your nonsense,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coldly. The girl turned around and wanted to escape in another direction, but she was stopped by Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Wen had never suffered such a big loss. He was beaten up for nothing. This matter had to be investigated clearly. The two of them decided to block the girl¡¯s path. They would not let her go. Ji Wen stood at the door and wanted to say, ¡°Let her go¡±, but the moment he stepped out of the door, Fang Xiaonuan immediately red at him. He could only obediently retreat. Outside the ssroom, Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu had stood in the girl¡¯s way for a full half an hour. By the time they returned to the ssroom, the food had gone cold. Chapter 261 - 261 The Weird Logic of a Weird Girl 261 The Weird Logic of a Weird Girl Ji Wen looked at the two angry girls and hurriedly asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that he was a hopeless case, so she grabbed his ear and scolded him. ¡°You idiot! You don¡¯t even know that you¡¯re being used.¡± Liu Siyu exined, ¡°She didn¡¯t borrow from the usury to treat her grandfather¡¯s illness. She wanted to buy luxury goods. She can¡¯t pay it back now. She used you on purpose yesterday. There were so many people out there, but she chose you. She just wanted you to help her pay back the money and take this opportunity to be your girlfriend.¡± Ji Wen thought, ¡®Does she think I¡¯m clueless about girls?¡¯ Liu Siyu continued to exin. ¡°She thought that you were from a rich family, that it would be easy for you to steal tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands for her. But she didn¡¯t expect that you would rather get beaten up than help her pay off her loans.¡± Ji Wen was speechless. ¡®Is there something wrong with this girl¡¯s brain or is there something wrong with his brain?¡¯ Fang Xiaonuan almost wanted to punch that girl. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Not only is she a gold digger, but she¡¯s also a weirdo and a lunatic!¡± Ji Wen did not think there was anything wrong with his brain. ¡°I do have money, but why would I help her pay back her loans? If she failed to pay back the money she borrowed, her n was to go to rich people for help? She wanted to get those rich people to settle her debt?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Exactly! If you help pay it back, she¡¯ll sleep with you, and maybe even your girlfriend. You¡¯re rich and a hunk at this school. If I was your girlfriend, I¡¯d...¡± Ji Wen immediately got nauseous. ¡°Siyu, I¡¯m begging you, please don¡¯t continue.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart ached as she looked at her nephew. Liu Siyu also felt sorry for him. He had met such a weirdo and suffered a beating for nothing. ¡°I swear, next time, I won¡¯t f*cking care,¡± Ji Wen said. He was already traumatized. Fang Xiaonuan passed him a ss of water to help him settle his stomach. ¡°Next time, when you¡¯re looking for a wife, let me help you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll look into her for you too,¡± Liu Siyu agreed. Ji Wen suddenly felt that women were terrifying. As expected, only women understood other women. Yesterday, the two of them had only spoken a few words to the girl. He had not picked up on anything, but these two could see who the girl really was. He felt a chill run down his spine while he was eating. ¡°Then what did you do to that girl?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was eating. She paused and said, ¡°We let her go.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Exile.¡± After school, Ji Lingchen came to pick up his wife and nephew again. This time, the way he looked at Liu Siyu was different. There was some excitement in his eyes that was difficult to suppress. He raised his hand and was about to touch Liu Siyu¡¯s head when Liu Siyan grabbed his wrist. ¡°CEO Ji, your wife is here. You should keep your distance from my sister.¡± ¡°Captain Liu, it¡¯s not certain whose sister she is!¡± Ji Lingchen clenched his fist. Liu Siyan grabbed Ji Lingchen¡¯s wrist with force, his eyes cold. ¡°CEO Ji, you can¡¯t just say whatever you want.¡± He was a little flustered. ¡°Captain Liu, you would know if I was spouting nonsense.¡± The corner of Ji Lingchen¡¯s lips curled up. He was so focused on quarreling with Liu Siyan that he ignored his frowning wife. As Fang Xiaonuan listened to her husband¡¯s words, she felt that something was amiss. She could only stand between the two of them and separate them. ¡°Brother Liu, we¡¯ll be leaving first. See you some other time.¡± After speaking, she pulled her husband¡¯s arm and dragged him back to the car. This was the first time in Ji Lingchen¡¯s life that his wife had dragged him into the car without a care for his image. Liu Siyu was confused. She hid behind her brother andined quietly, saying that her best friend¡¯s husband was sick. Liu Siyan took Liu Siyu¡¯s hand and they turned around to return to the car. He did not bring his sister home. Instead, they went straight to the hospital¡¯s cosmetic surgery department. In the other car, Fang Xiaonuan was a little angry. Even though she did not say anything, Ji Wen, who was in the back seat, could clearly sense it. He was baffled. He had not offended her, right? Ji Wen looked at his uncle, who was driving. Did he do something to her again? Ji Wen once again looked at the young woman in the front passenger seat, who was fuming. Was it her time of the month? Ji Lingchen also noticed that his wife was fuming beside him. If he spoke now, she would explode. He could only remain silent. When they reached home, Fang Xiaonuan alighted from the car and said to her husband, ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting in your study!¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. Ji Wen frowned and looked at the angry woman. He asked in a low voice, ¡°Uncle, who is she talking to?¡± ¡°Do you have a study?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Ji Wen said, ¡°F*ck! Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s status is so high now? She even dares to talk to you like that. She even ordered you to go see her in the study?¡± Chapter 262 - 262 One Hit 262 One Hit Ji Lingchen took a few deep breaths and threw the car keys to his nephew. ¡°Lock the door.¡± For the first time, the high and mighty CEO Ji experienced what it was like to go to the study room and admit his mistakes. He was extremely nervous and even a little flustered. So, this was how people felt before going into his office. This was really ufortable. It seemed that he had to be more approachable to his subordinates in the future. He walked to the door of the study and knocked. ¡°Enter,¡± his little wife said. Ji Lingchen pushed the door open and entered. When he saw his little wife leaning against the desk, he closed the door and stepped inside. As soon as he came in, he started exining. ¡°Xiaonuan, I was going to tell you when we get home.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°So, you couldn¡¯t hold it in at school and directly told Liu Siyan that Xiaoyu could be your sister?¡± She was furious. Her husband had already told her that he believed that Liu Siyu was not his sister. Now, he suddenly told Liu Siyan that Liu Siyu might be his sister after all. How could she not be angry? They were husband and wife, yet he was still hiding things from her! ¡°The results came out,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°Liu Siyu was born with blood type A, but now it¡¯s O-type on her physical examination sheet. I know you¡¯re angry and that you think I¡¯m a bad person who wants to destroy your friend¡¯s happy family. If we find out that Liu Siyu is Ji Xiaoyu, you won¡¯t know how it¡¯ll affect your rtionship with her. Xiaonuan, give me some time and I¡¯ll exin.¡± Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists. Ji Lingchen was afraid that his wife would lose her temper. He looked at her fists. ¡°Let me exin. Rx your fists first.¡± ¡°The Liu family did have a daughter called Liu Siyu, but she passed away for some reason. Their parents would disappear for an entire day during every Ghost Festival.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You¡¯re cursing her by saying she¡¯s dead! Ji Lingchen, you¡¯re asking for a beating!¡± Whenever she could not win and was angry, she just wanted to fight. Ji Lingchen was clearly the boss behind Silver Field, yet he was practically beaten to a pulp by his wife here in the study. In the end, he could only grab his wife¡¯s hand and look into her eyes. ¡°Xiaonuan, Xiaoyu has bite scars on her left arm. Have you seen them? ¡± Unable to break free, Fang Xiaonuan raised her foot and stomped on her husband¡¯s foot. She roared in anger, ¡°No, I¡¯ve never seen them before!¡± Ji Lingchen endured the pain and hugged his furious little wife tightly. Fang Xiaonuan used all her strength, but she could not break free. In her rage, Fang Xiaonuan raised her leg and kicked the spot between the man¡¯s legs. She was a tough girl who had not even considered what this could mean for the rest of her life. Fang Xiaonuan was that girl. She suddenly raised her leg again and hit the target! Ji Lingchen immediately let go of his wife. He bent down and looked up at his little wife who had struggled free. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan! Do you have any idea what you¡¯re doing?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m angry? How dare you hug me? Do you really think you¡¯re just a bossy CEO? You think you can hug and kiss me when I¡¯m angry? I¡¯m telling you one more time, when I¡¯m angry, don¡¯t f*cking touch me!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat from the pain. He took a deep breath and looked at his furious wife. He closed his eyes and tried to calm down. ¡°You¡¯re my wife, my wife! I married you!¡± Fang Xiaonuan saw that her husband really seemed to be in a lot of pain. Thest time she had seen a man in so much pain, it had been Ji Wen. Was that body part really that fragile? She looked at her husband who was covering his crotch and felt a little guilty. However, she still said, ¡°You, you don¡¯t have to pretend anymore. I-I barely used any strength just now. It can¡¯t hurt that bad!¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan stole a nce at her husband¡¯s pained expression and thought to herself, ¡®Oh my God! I didn¡¯t cripple him, right?¡¯ She panicked and looked at her husband. She rushed forward. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t scare me. I-I¡¯ll call for an ambnce. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital immediately.¡± Fang Xiaonuan panicked and took out her phone to call for help. The man grabbed the phone and turned to look at his flustered wife. ¡°Xiaonuan, you can attack other men¡¯s private parts, but you can¡¯t attack your husband there, understand?¡± Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip. She knew that the atmosphere was not right, but she was worrying obsessively about something in particr. She immediately added, ¡°Hubby, I can¡¯t hit your son there either.¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. When the pain passed, Ji Lingchen finally straightened up. He lowered his head to look at his worried little wife and made his stance clear. ¡°Xiaonuan, I¡¯ve been looking for Xiaoyu for more than ten years. I can¡¯t give up just because she¡¯s living a happy life now. Xiaonuan, my mother is still waiting for me to find her. She¡¯s waiting for me to bring Xiaoyu to visit her grave.¡± Right now, in Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mind, she did not care about Liu Siyu and Ji Xiaoyu at all. She was only thinking about whether her husband was all right after her kick. Chapter 263 - 263 One Hundred Percent 263 One Hundred Percent ¡°Hubby, should we go to the hospital?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked anxiously. ¡°Last time this happened, Xiaowen took two days off!¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, don¡¯t tell me that you were the one who kicked Xiaowen when she was in middle school?¡± Ji Lingchen asked, his head aching. This time, it was Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s turn to remain silent. How did her husband know everything? In order to show her unwavering loyalty to her husband and her love for him, Fang Xiaonuan promised, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t worry. Even if you can¡¯t performter on, I will always be by your side. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, we can go for artificial insemination or in-vitro fertilization. Anyway, I¡¯ll take responsibility for my mistake. I¡¯ll be by your side for the rest of my life if I crippled you.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s anger rose. What did she mean by can¡¯t perform? How could he be crippled by a single kick? Was he that weak? He grabbed his wife¡¯s wrist and asked her to touch the injured area. ¡°Touch it and find out!¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to! Ji Lingchen, you hooligan!¡± Fang Xiaonuan protested. Fang Xiaonuan immediately retracted her hand. She only felt that she had touched a soft and warm spot, and her face immediately felt as if it was on fire. She looked at her husband who was teasing her, and her face puffed up in anger. She stood beside him, blushing. Then, she scolded her husband, ¡°Ji Lingchen, you stinky hooligan, you¡¯re really shameless, pfft!¡± With that, Fang Xiaonuan ran off with a flushed face. His wife was clearly scolding him, but the tortured Ji Lingchen was all smiles. Since things hade to this, he might as well carry out his shameless act to the end tonight! Fang Xiaonuan ran out of the study and back to the bedroom. She immediately went to the bathroom to wash her hands. In the mirror, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was as red as a ripe strawberry. Not long after, someone opened the bedroom door. When she came out, she saw that her husband had entered. She turned off the tap and turned to leave. Ji Lingchen watched as she ran away. ¡°Let¡¯s see where you¡¯re running to.¡± Fang Xiaonuan went straight to Ji Wen¡¯s room and happened to see Feng Qi forcing Ji Wen to ept her motherly love. ¡°Xiaowen, let me apply some medicine for you. If you get scars, how are you going to find a wife in the future? All the girls will despise you.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Mom, you can leave. There¡¯s a mirror. I can apply the medicine myself.¡± ¡°No, you can¡¯t do it yourself. I will help you.¡± Ji Wen almost knelt down in front of his mother, but in the end, he was forced to ept his mother¡¯s care. ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯re here?¡± Feng Qi turned around and asked. Fang Xiaonuan nodded and sat on Ji Wen¡¯s gaming chair as she watched them. After Feng Qi finished applying the medicine for her son, she looked at Fang Xiaonuan and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, it¡¯s getting colder. Do you have enough clothes? I¡¯m going to have some custom-made. How about I order a few sets for you?¡± ¡°Sister-inw, there¡¯s no need. My closet is already full,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Ji Wen pushed Feng Qi away. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m begging you. Please go. I want to y some games. Good night, love you, and bye.¡± ¡°Good night? I haven¡¯t even had dinner.¡± Feng Qi¡¯s son pushed her out of the room as soon as she finished speaking. Ji Wen patted his chest and leaned against the door. He could not help but sigh. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to be the darling of the family. They won¡¯t leave me alone.¡± Fang Xiaonuan whistled at Ji Wen, indicating for him toe over and sit. Ji Wen was puzzled, ¡°What are you doing in my room? Are you done lecturing my uncle?¡± Fang Xiaonuan had something important to discuss with Ji Wen. Only the two of them could know that she had hit her husband. Of course, she would not tell Ji Wen. But about Liu Siyu¡­ Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Xiaowen, we¡¯ve been friends with Xiaoyu for so many years. Is there a bite scar on her arm?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Bite scars? That doesn¡¯t seem right. Judging by her personality, if she had a scar, she would have gone for treatment long ago.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°I thought so too. But your uncle is not in his right mind. He insisted that Xiaoyu has bite scars on her arm.¡± ¡°You guys always sleep together,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°Don¡¯t you know if she does?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Who would care about such a small matter? I can¡¯t possibly grab Xiaoyu and force her to strip naked to see if there are any bite scars on her body, right?¡± ¡°But why is my uncle asking this?¡± Ji Wen thought it did not make sense. ¡°Your uncle is insane!¡± Ji Wen looked at Fang Xiaonuan with admiration. How did this woman manage to turn his family upside down the moment she appeared? How did she be the darling of the family in such a short period of time? In the end, she even bested his uncle and became the person in the family with the highest status. ¡°Xiaonuan, please teach me,¡± Ji Wen said. Nothing else mattered to him more than besting his uncle too! Fang Xiaonuan nced at him and instantly knew what he meant. ¡°When you fight with your life, you either live or die.¡± ¡°Take a look. What¡¯s the probability of me dying?¡± Ji Wen asked. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°100%!¡± Chapter 264 - 264 Physical Examination 264 Physical Examination ¡°D*mn, why would you say that?¡± Ji Wen said, unconvinced. ¡°I¡¯m his wife. What are you?¡± In one sentence, Ji Wen lost. ¡°If I were his niece, my uncle would definitely treat me very well,¡± Ji Wen said. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. Even if you were his niece, your uncle would make you learn all sorts of self-defense skills.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be too sure,¡± Ji Wen said. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°You don¡¯t believe me? Ask your mother to give you a sister.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Get lost. Do you know how old my mother is? How can she give me a sister when I¡¯m old enough to be a father myself.¡± Fang Xiaonuan smiled, then hid in Ji Wen¡¯s room for a long time. During dinner, Fang Xiaonuan lowered her head around her husband. She did not meet his eyes. ¡°Okay!¡± Old Master Ji tapped on his phone. ¡°Xiaonuan,e and help me.¡± ¡°Dad, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately leaned over. Old Master Ji ced the phone in front of Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°I really can¡¯t pass the 127th stage of this game. I saw you y more than a thousand stages of thisst time.¡± Fang Xiaonuan picked up the phone and quickly helped him get through the level. ¡°As expected, my daughter-inw is amazing!¡± Feng Qi said, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t y anymore. Eat properly. Xiaonuan, you go back to your seat too.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband, who was a seat away from her. ¡°I¡¯ll eat here.¡± Feng Qi did not bother about the seating n. ¡°Sure, let¡¯s just eat like this. Anywhere is fine.¡± After the meal, Fang Xiaonuan took a stroll outside for more than an hour. In the end, she dawdled for a long time before returning to her bedroom. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You actually came back? I thought you were going to sleep outside.¡± ¡°Hubby, are you feeling better?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. She had already expressed her determination to her husband in the afternoon. Regardless of whether they could bear children in the future, she would not leave him. In this case, she wouldn¡¯t get beaten up, right? ¡°Not good,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband, who was lying on the bed, with a worried expression. ¡°Come here.¡± Ji Lingchen waved at her. Fang Xiaonuan slowly moved to the side of the bed and looked at her husband. ¡°Honey, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Take off your clothes and get into bed,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°What do you want?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked nervously. ¡°To sleep,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Oh my, I was so scared. I thought you were going to continue being a hooligan.¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan turned around and went to the dressing room to get her pajamas before entering the bathroom. ¡°Hubby, you can sleep first. I¡¯ll go to sleep after a shower.¡± Ji Lingchen stopped reading and stared at his wife¡¯s back with a burning gaze. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart beat faster, and she felt a little uneasy. ¡°You should sleep first.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t even perform anymore, so what are you afraid of?¡± Fang Xiaonuan furrowed her brows. Would a man admit that he was impotent so easily? Was her husband really impotent? However, her husband¡¯s words did make sense. If he could not perform, he could still sleep naked with her. She went into the bathroom to take a shower and came out forty minutester. After she came out, she sat in front of the dressing table and started to do her skincare. Through the mirror, she realized that her husband was looking at her. ¡°Hubby, I know you hate me now, but can you stop staring? I can feel through the mirror that you want to take me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I really want to,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. After Fang Xiaonuan was done with her skincare routine, she switched off the lights. Only the two wallmps at the head of the bed were still on. She walked to the other side of the bed and snuggled under the covers. ¡°Hubby, you really can¡¯t perform, right?¡± she asked with some anticipation. ¡°Do you want to take a look?¡± Fang Xiaonuan immediately shook her head. ¡°No need. There¡¯s really no need. That would be too embarrassing!¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°You¡¯re too embarrassed to look? You aren¡¯t going to check?¡± ¡°What?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was confused. ¡°How do I check?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s movements were stealthy. He blocked his little wife, not letting her get into bed properly. While she was panicking, he moved so he was straddling her. ¡°Check personally!¡± Fang Xiaonuan instantly understood. ¡°Hubby, you might not be able to. If you get upset, I¡¯m afraid that you might not hold back and that you¡¯ll beat me to death.¡± Ji Lingchen held her waist with one hand and caressed her legs with the other, stirring her heart. ¡°I¡¯m unable to, but maybe I¡¯ll be fine after some stimtion.¡± As he spoke, he moved closer to his wife¡¯s neck and kissed her. Under the covers, Fang Xiaonuan tugged at her nightgown tightly, not letting her husband go overboard. She still had to free up one hand to push her husband. ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s too ticklish. Stop!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s kiss became more passionate. His hands fumbled around his little wife¡¯s waist as he pulled her nightgown up. Fang Xiaonuan instantly had goosebumps all over her body. In her panic, she said something that only tempted him further. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve finished checking. You really can¡¯t perform. You can stop now.¡± Chapter 265 - 265 CEO Ji’s Wish is Fulfilled 265 CEO Ji¡¯s Wish is Fulfilled Fang Xiaonuan had thought that her words would make her husband stop. However, not only did Ji Lingchen keep going, but he also became even more ferocious. He held the back of her head firmly and kissed her hard, sucking on her soft lips. Fang Xiaonuan was holding her nightgown down, so Ji Lingchen could not take it off. Instead, he tore it apart. Yes, he tore it apart! Ji Lingchen¡¯s rough actions caused Fang Xiaonuan to panic. She no longer held onto her tattered nightgown and used both hands to push her husband away. Her heart was racing, and she was unprecedentedly nervous as she muttered, ¡°Hubby...¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she was naked and exposed. Ji Lingchen took off his pajamas and straddled Fang Xiaonuan, throwing the pajamas away. Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°You¡¯re so silly.¡± Before she could say anything else, she felt arge, warm hand on her chest. As the hand moved across her chest, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body trembled as if she had been electrocuted. She waspletely flustered. She was afraid. She knew what she was about to face. Ji Lingchen let go of her and caressed her shocked face. He chose to follow his wife¡¯s wishes again. ¡°Do you want to continue?¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart was beating too fast, and her mind was nk. Her entire body was limp, and she had no idea what to say. At that moment, her phone rang. Fang Xiaonuan pointed at the phone with a trembling finger. ¡°Hubby! L-let me answer this call first.¡± Ji Lingchen picked up the phone and threw it on the ground without even looking at it. The phone screen shattered. Fang Xiaonuan hit her husband¡¯s chest. ¡°My phone is broken! Are you going to pay for it?!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes darkened as he said in a low, raspy voice, ¡°No one can disturb us now. I¡¯ll kill anyone who disturbs us!¡± Fang Xiaonuan shrank back in fear. Her husband seemed to be really angry. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you choose to continue or do you want to be forced to continue?¡± Ji Lingchen asked again. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice was as soft as a mosquito¡¯s. ¡°C-can I say that I don¡¯t want to continue?¡± She heard that the first time was very painful. She was afraid of the pain. Ji Lingchen smiled devilishly. He rubbed his thumb against his wife¡¯s cheek and kissed her forehead, nose, and lips. ¡°No,¡± he said. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart trembled. She knew that she would not be able to escape tonight. There was no hesitation here and it would be her first time. It was not a special day and it was not romantic either. It was just an ordinary day that could not be iner. She almost made her husband impotent with that kick, and now her husband using her, to see if he could still perform. Fang Xiaonuan felt like crying, but no tears came out. She slowly closed her eyes. Ji Lingchen knew that his little wife had tacitly agreed. He leaned over and gently kissed her lips, her delicate chin, then her delicate neck, all the way down until he held a pink ¡°little grape¡± in his mouth and savored it. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body shuddered uncontrobly. The blush on her face had long since dissipated and spread to her entire body. Her fair skin now had a light pink shade to it. Her eyelids trembled slightly with her husband¡¯s movements, and her body also subconsciously moved. From time to time, she moaned. His wife¡¯s smooth skin rubbed against Ji Lingchen¡¯s body as her sweet cries lingered in his ears. When he looked up to see his little wife¡¯s shy expression, he was instantly stimted by this sight. The lust in his body and heart reached its peak. How could he resist such temptation? He used thest of his rationality to gently pry open his little wife¡¯s legs. After rubbing himself against her opening several times, moisture emerged. It was warm and sticky. Ji Lingchen could no longer maintain his rationality as he pushed himself forward and went straight in. Fang Xiaonuan gripped the bedsheets tightly. Her palms were covered in sweat, and the bedsheets were now wrinkled. Ji Lingchen tried his best to be gentle, but his wife still cried out in pain. Fang Xiaonuan felt that romance novels were full of lies, but they were not lying about the first time. She was in so much pain that her tears were about to fall. Feelings of grievance and shame welled up in her heart, and she sobbed as she tried to pull away from her husband. However, at this moment, Ji Lingchen could not hear his wife¡¯s cries of protest. The moment he entered Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s body, he felt as if he had gone to heaven. The bed sheets were in a mess, the girl¡¯s cries gradually became hoarse, and the man did not stop at all. Fang Xiaonuan felt that her body no longer belonged to her. Her entire body was numb, and even her breaths were filled with her husband¡¯s scent. She had given up her first time, just like that. Chapter 266 - 266 The Big Liar 266 The Big Liar The moonlight was bright and the stars were numerous. All the lights in the vi were off, leaving only one room with only one light on. ¡­ After an immeasurable period of time, the man finally stopped and pulled himself away from the girl¡¯s body. Now that it was done, Fang Xiaonuan no longer had to be afraid, and Ji Lingchen was no longer starved. Fang Xiaonuan felt her entire body go weak, and she did not even how she had fallen asleep. Herst memory was of Ji Lingchen on top of her asking, ¡°Honey, do you think I¡¯m impotent?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not reply, because she was crippled now! Her husband¡¯s hot body wrapped around her tightly. Fang Xiaonuan felt some regret, but at the same time, she felt a little at ease. Very quickly, she disappeared into her dreams. Seeing that his little wife was fast asleep, Ji Lingchen got up and carried her to the bathroom. After a while, he carried his sleeping little wife back in. Fang Xiaonuan was very petite, and Ji Lingchen could hold her firmly with one hand. He used his other hand to apply shower gel on his little wife, and her originally smooth skin became even smoother after the shower gel was applied. He carefully touched every inch of her skin. She was really exhausted and fast asleep. When he touched her sensitive areas, she would subconsciously cry out, making his heart jump, and he had a physiological reaction. While his little wife was still asleep, he lifted her up and did it once in the bathroom. Of course, Fang Xiaonuan waspletely unaware of all this. She only woke up the next morning. When she got up, her entire head was buzzing. Her usually fair and smooth skin was now covered in hickeys. Her eyelids were red and swollen from cryingst night. At this moment, the man walked out of the cloakroom, full of energy and radiant. He looked at his little wife, who was in a daze on the bed, andughed in high spirits. Now that he had been satiated, he was in an extremely good mood. He walked over and sat by the bed. He moved closer to his wife¡¯s face and was about to kiss her. ¡°You big liar!¡± His wife started to curse. ¡°How did I lie to you?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re not impotent at all!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°It seems like you were very satisfied with mest night!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. Her legs were weak and her body was weak. She was also naked and was in no shape to fight. She would endure it! How could a starved tiger like him be satisfied just like that? He looked at his angry little wife and became aroused again. He held her small face and kissed her lips hard. He then mped her hand and pushed her onto the bed. He took her again. His already neatly dressed suit had a lot of wrinkles. Unable to escape, Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ji Lingchen, I¡¯ll dig out your eyes, cut off your tongue, cut off your ears, chop off your hands and mouth. Do you believe me?¡± The fiercer Fang Xiaonuan scolded him, the fiercer Ji Lingchen became. After they stopped, Fang Xiaonuan was thoroughly enraged! ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan turned angrily, ¡°What do you think?¡± Ji Lingchen had seen the blood on the bed sheetst night. He looked down at his little wife, who wanted to kill him. He got up and let her go. ¡°Don¡¯t go to school today. Rest at home. You didn¡¯t get much sleepst night.¡± Fang Xiaonuan picked up the pillow beside her and threw it at her husband. ¡°Get out!¡± Ji Lingchen caught the pillow and ced it at the end of the bed. ¡°I¡¯ll leave after I change my clothes.¡± His clothes were all wrinkled. Under the nket, Fang Xiaonuan had wrapped herself tightly with the nket, only revealing half of her face. She was too embarrassed to get up and change. She waited for her husband to leave. After a while, Ji Lingchen changed his clothes and walked out. He saw his little wife who was wrapped up tightly and smiled. ¡°Xiaonuan, you fell asleepst night. I was the one who carried you to the shower.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. Her husband had seen her entire body. ¡°I bought you a new phone. It¡¯ll be here soon,¡± Ji Lingchen added. Fang Xiaonuan ridiculed her husband in her heart. ¡®You¡¯re the one who broke it!¡¯ Ji Lingchen put on his watch and smiled at the peeved little woman on the bed. ¡°It¡¯s official. I¡¯m not impotent.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked down shyly, her long eyshes like two thick brushes. Ji Lingchen tidied up his clothes and sat on the bed. When Fang Xiaonuan saw her husbanding close, she quickly pulled away and said, ¡°Don¡¯te near me.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Xiaonuan, it was your first timest night. I can understand that you¡¯re embarrassed, but we¡¯re husband and wife. Something like that was bound to happen sometime. I hope you can get around to epting it soon.¡± Fang Xiaonuan turned her head. ¡°You lied to mest night. There¡¯s nothing wrong with you at all. You said you wanted to use me to find out, but you just wanted to sleep with me!¡± Chapter 267 - 267 The Lonely Ji Wen 267 The Lonely Ji Wen Ji Lingchenughed. He pinched his wife¡¯s cheeks and said, ¡°Silly girl, if something really happens to me, the rest of your life will be ruined. Next time, if you want to hit me, hit anywhere but there, understand?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and did not say anything. Ji Lingchen looked at his watch and said, ¡°I¡¯ve pushed back my morning meeting to noon. I¡¯m going to work now. I¡¯lle home to apany you in the afternoon.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded her head obediently, then stretched out a small hand from under the covers and waved at her husband. She said in her baby voice, ¡°Goodbye.¡± !! Ji Lingchen smiled lovingly, got up, and approached his wife. He nted a light kiss on her forehead and left the bedroom reluctantly. Ji Lingchen was feeling smug as he made his way to the office. ¡°CEO Ji, could Liu Siyu really be Ms. Xiaoyu?¡± Assistant Liu asked. Ji Lingchen smiled. ¡°We didn¡¯t get her hair yesterday, so we can¡¯t be sure. Don¡¯t tell my father and brother about this first.¡± They had already suffered too many disappointments. Now that hope was close at hand, he did not want to give them hope and disappoint them again like before. He wanted to tell them once he waspletely sure. ¡°CEO Ji, why are you so happy today?¡± Assistant Liu asked, puzzled. ¡°Am I?¡± Ji Lingchen asked with a smile. Assistant Liu nodded. Secretary Song also nodded and asked, ¡°Yes, CEO Ji, what happened? Did Madam give you another surprise?¡± The only person who could make CEO Ji so happy was the madam. ¡°She didn¡¯t cause me any trouble and that¡¯s already good enough,¡± Ji Lingchen said dotingly. ¡°But CEO Ji, I didn¡¯t realize that you were unwilling to deal with her!¡± Secretary Song teased. Ji Lingchen shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face remained. ¡°Who asked her to marry me? If I don¡¯t handle her, who will?¡± ¡°We have a meeting now,¡± he said, holding the document. ¡°We have to end the meeting early. I¡¯ll go home early in the afternoon.¡± Jing University. Ji Wen, who still had injuries on his face, was feeling a little lonely. The teacher took the attendance book to the ssroom and called out, ¡°Students, let¡¯s take attendance.¡± ¡°Liu Siyu.¡± ¡°Teacher!¡± Ji Wen raised his hand. ¡°Teacher, she¡¯s absent.¡± The teacher drew a cross on the book and continued to call names. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan.¡± Ji Wen raised his hand again. ¡°She¡¯s also absent.¡± The teacher had been working in the university for many years and was used to students skipping sses, but he still asked Ji Wen, ¡°Ji Wen, did they skip ss together? Don¡¯t the three of you usually go to ss together?¡± ¡°Liu Siyu¡¯s older brother applied for leave on her behalf,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s husband applied for leave on her behalf.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the leave slip?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°I think they were given verbal approval by a certain principal.¡± The teacher was at a loss for words. How could he teach this ss now? ¡°Make sure they give me a leave of absence slip next time, or else I¡¯ll treat it as skipping ss.¡± The teacher continued to call out names. ¡°Ji Wen. Oh, you¡¯re the only one here.¡± Without waiting for Ji Wen to answer, the teacher continued to call names. ¡­ In the Ji family¡¯s residence, Fang Xiaonuan got out of bed. The new phone had arrived. Her legs were sore, and it took her some time to move around. There was also a bloodstain on the bed sheet, which was evidence that she had said goodbye to her girlhood. She was too embarrassed to let the servants handle this matter, so she took off the bedsheet and went to the bathroom to wash the stain off. By noon, Fang Xiaonuan was famished, so she threw the bedsheets into the washing machine and went downstairs to eat. ¡°Eh? Xiaonuan, you skipped ss today?¡± Old Master Ji asked curiously when he saw Fang Xiaonuan at the dining table. He saw his grandson going to school in the morning, so he asked again, ¡°Or did Ji Wen run out to y?¡± ¡°Dad, I took a day of leave,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. The servants brought the dishes up and she buried her head in the food. Old Master Ji said, ¡°Xiaonuan, it¡¯s a good thing you¡¯re at home. Help me pass another level, please. I can¡¯t get past level 205.¡± ¡°Dad, you only cleared 100 or so levels yesterday, and you¡¯ve already cleared 205 levels today? Did you stay upte to y with your phone?¡± When his daughter-inw found out that he had stayed upte to y games on his phone, Old Master Ji was embarrassed. ¡°Shush, lower your voice. I couldn¡¯t sleepst night, so I just yed for a little while.¡± ¡°Dad, tell me the truth. What time did you go to bed?¡± ¡°I was just ying a game,¡± Old Master Ji said guiltily. ¡°I won¡¯t die!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Dad, if I find out that you¡¯re staying upte to y games again, I¡¯ll tell my husband. I¡¯ll get him to confiscate your phone!¡± ¡°You would do that?¡± ¡°Dad, try me.¡± The two of them were at loggerheads, and neither of them was convinced by the other. Fang Xiaonuan felt that Old Master Ji was too bored at home, so she taught him how to y games on his phone to kill time. However, he clearly had no self-control despite his age. He stayed up sote just to y games. If she had known that this would happen, she would not have taught him these things. Chapter 268 - 268 Can’t Be Broken 268 Can¡¯t Be Broken ¡°Hmph!¡± Old Master Ji huffed. ¡°Now that you have a husband, you¡¯re always trying to scare me by threatening to tell on me!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He even personally gives me opportunities to tell on you!¡± Old Master Ji was speechless. This young couple did not know how to thank him for being the matchmaker. They only knew how to bully him! ¡°You two are so heartless!¡± ¡­ In the afternoon, when Ji Lingchen returned home, Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to make eye contact with him at all. She avoided his gaze, but Ji Lingchen kept staring at his wife. When they reached the living room, Ji Lingchen immediately went over to hold his wife¡¯s hand. Fang Xiaonuan pulled her hand away, but he grabbed it again. Fang Xiaonuan was so angry that she ran to the courtyard to get some peace and quiet. However, Ji Lingchen followed her out in less than half a minute. ¡°Xiaonuan.¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickened her pace to prevent him from following her. Ji Lingchenughed as he chased after her. ¡°Don¡¯t follow me!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was about to explode! Ji Lingchenughed when he saw his little wife¡¯s angry expression. It turned out that he really liked her. Even though she was angry and even though she scolded him, he still found her so attractive. He felt that his kitten was a treasure. She even sounded lovely when she was scolding him. Her little face was puffed up in anger, and she was so cute! One tried to run away, while the other chased. It was evening now, and Fang Xiaonuan had no way of hiding. After her bath, she snuggled into bed and wrapped herself up like a dumpling. Ji Lingchen went to bed a littleter. He had a taste of her and there was no way he had enough after only one night. Looking at the small bump on the nket, he smiled and walked over. ¡°Xiaonuan, are you asleep?¡± Fang Xiaonuan closed her eyes tightly and did not respond. Ji Lingchen lifted the nket and got under it. He then reached out to pull at his little wife¡¯s pajamas. Her nightdress fromst night had been torn to shreds. His wife had learned her lesson and was wearing two-piece pajamas tonight. Then, he would take it slow. He started to unbutton his wife¡¯s pajamas. Fang Xiaonuan quickly grabbed her husband¡¯s hand and opened her eyes. She turned to warn him, ¡°We already did it yesterday. You¡¯re not allowed to have me today!¡± ¡°We¡¯re married. We can¡¯t just stop doing it,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°You¡¯re a liar!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°No, I can¡¯t wait to love you,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Don¡¯t give me excuses for your hooligan behavior!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°All of you men are terrible!¡± Ji Lingchen shamelessly admitted on behalf of all the men in the world, ¡°Yes, indeed. There¡¯s nothing good about men.¡± Fang Xiaonuan could no longer pretend to be asleep, but the thought of the tearing pain from the night before made her resist. However, how could Ji Lingchen let her go? He whispered in her ear like a demon, ¡°Be good, trust me, okay?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s methods were very effective. Fang Xiaonuan quickly lost all her strength to resist. She felt her entire body go limp, and the ces her husband had touched felt numb. The passionate kiss made her lose her mind and she took the initiative to wrap her arms around her husband¡¯s neck. This time, without her husband¡¯s guidance, Fang Xiaonuan subconsciously spread her legs apart. Things like sex seemed to be an innate instinct. After she let go of her inhibitions, everything else felt natural. Ji Lingchen easily entered his wife¡¯s body, and with each impact, his wife could not help but cry out. Ji Lingchen put in even more effort when he heard her soft and coy voice. After he was done with one position, he turned his little wife over to try a new one. Ji Lingchen clutched his wife¡¯s slender waist and rammed into her soft and tender body. This position gave him even more pleasure, but he did not like this position because he could not see his wife¡¯s face. After a while, he turned his little wife over again. Three hourster, Fang Xiaonuan was sprawled on the bed, panting heavily. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her body temperature seemed to have increased. Her face was flushed red. Ji Lingchen turned her over and held her in his arms. Her face was already red after the intimate contact with her husband. She had fallen asleep from exhaustionst night and did not feel anything. But now, facing her husband naked, with her skin against his, her face was tomato red. So, this was really life after marriage. Fang Xiaonuan had sweated a lot and her mouth was dry. She said to her husband in a soft voice, ¡°Hubby, I want to drink some water.¡± Before Ji Lingchen got up to get some water, he gave her a gentle kiss. He did not know if it was an illusion, but his wife¡¯s scent seemed to be even stronger than usual. This smell made him unable to stop. Ji Lingchen brought over a cup of water. Fang Xiaonuan got up, clutched the cup with both hands, and raised her head to drink. Chapter 269 - 269 Ji Wen Is in the Hospital 269 Ji Wen Is in the Hospital After drinking the water, Fang Xiaonuan finally calmed down a little. At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Ji Wen had said when they first met at home. Fang Xiaonuan wanted to know if it was true, so she asked, ¡°Honey, are you sick in a way that makes you less energetic in bed?¡± If her husband¡¯s kidney was weak and he could still torment her like this, wouldn¡¯t she be finished if he was in peak condition? Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Less energetic?¡± Him? ¡°Who told you that?¡± he asked with a dark expression. Fang Xiaonuan was a good girl, and she told her husband everything that had happened. ¡°When I first met Xiaowen here, he deliberately called me to the backyard and told me tactfully that you had some problems in that area. He also said that he was worried that I would live as a widow in the future.¡± However, after two nights, her husband seemedpletely fine. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression darkened even more. ¡°Xiaonuan, if you¡¯re tired, you can sleep first. I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± Fang Xiaonuan thought, ¡®Looks like hubby is going to teach him a lesson!¡¯ The next morning, when Fang Xiaonuan did not see Ji Wen around, she asked Feng Qi, ¡°Sister-inw, why isn¡¯t Xiaowen here?¡± ¡°He was sickst night, so Ji Lingchen took him to the hospital in the middle of the night.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. She seemed to have understood something. When she went to school in the morning, Ji Lingchen wanted to send her off, but Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I want to go to the hospital to see Xiaowen.¡± ¡°He¡¯s still alive,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband, who had a dark expression on his face, and suddenly felt that he was very cruel. ¡°Did you do it?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Is he crippled?¡± ¡°He might be soon!¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re too brutal. Didn¡¯t he just say that you have a kidney issue? Was that really necessary?¡± He was even more ruthless than her. She felt a little sorry for Xiaowen. He had yet to recover from his previous injuries, and now he had new ones. However, she hadpletely forgotten who was the cause of this. When she arrived at the school, Fang Xiaonuan saw Liu Siyu limping. Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly went over to help her up and asked, ¡°What happened to you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even mention it. I sprained my ankle the day before yesterday!¡± Liu Siyu got angry at the mention of this. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°How did you sprain your ankle?¡± ¡°It was the day before yesterday,¡± Liu Siyu said gloomily. ¡°After we parted, my brother didn¡¯t take me home. He insisted on taking me to the hospital¡¯s cosmetic surgery department. He asked the doctor to remove my scars with aser. When I heard that I need to be injected with anesthetic to remove the scar, I was scared and didn¡¯t want to do it.¡± ¡°My brother insisted that I do theser surgery. I sprained my ankle when I was trying to escape, and then I became like this.¡± ¡°By the way, I called you the night before yesterday to ask for a leave of absence, but no one picked up. When I called again, your phone was turned off. What were you doing?¡± Fang Xiaonuan caught the important bit of information, but she ignored the second half of the sentence. She asked nervously, ¡°Xiaoyu, do you have a scar on your arm?¡± ¡°Yeah, how did you know?¡± Liu Siyu asked. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart raced. She stared at Liu Siyu¡¯s facial features and recalled what her husband had said before. ¡°Siyu, do you have O-type blood?¡± ¡°I think so,¡± Liu Siyu said doubtfully. ¡°I didn¡¯t try to remember. I only remember that vaguely. I didn¡¯t donate blood or anything. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Liu Siyu looked at her frightened best friend and quickly helped her along. ¡°Where¡¯s Xiaowen?¡± Fang Xiaonuan sat there with a nk look in her eyes. Then, as if she had a sudden realization, she stood up abruptly and said, ¡± Xiaoyu, Xiaowen was badly injuredst night. Let¡¯s go to the hospital to see him immediately.¡± Liu Siyu, ¡°Huh? Do we go now?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pulled on Liu Siyu¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Yes, we¡¯re leaving now. We can¡¯t dy any longer. If we¡¯rete, we might never see Xiaowen again!¡± After saying that, the two of them walked out slowly. Fang Xiaonuan wanted to be fast, but Liu Siyu¡¯s injury made moving fast inconvenient. Fang Xiaonuan did not drive today, so she hailed a taxi by the roadside. ¡°Sir, please head to the First People¡¯s Hospital of Jing City.¡± The inpatient department in the hospital. Ji Weny on the bed, doing nothing. He looked at the ceiling, dumbfounded. ¡°If I¡¯ve done anything heartless in my past life, please let the heavens punish me. Why did I be Ji Lingchen¡¯s nephew?¡± he muttered to himself. When they arrived at the hospital, Fang Xiaonuan rented a wheelchair and pushed her injured friend around. They went straight to the ward and saw Ji Wen, who was lying on the bed with nothing to live for. ¡°F*ck! Liu Siyu, why are you disabled too?¡± Ji Wen asked, rmed, after seeing Liu Siyu. But when he saw Fang Xiaonuan behind her, he cursed. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, d*mn you, what exactly did you say to my uncle? The moment he entered my roomst night, he started beating me up without saying a word. How did I provoke you?¡± Chapter 270 - 270 The Two Disabled Ones 270 The Two Disabled Ones Fang Xiaonuan walked to the bed and raised her hand to hit Ji Wen on the head. ¡°Shut up! Why are you so loud?¡± Then, she deliberately grabbed Ji Wen¡¯s head and pulled out two strands of hair. In Ji Wen and Liu Siyu¡¯s eyes, she seemed to be teaching him a lesson. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I¡¯ll be irreconcble with you and your husband for the rest of my life!¡± Ji Wen shouted resentfully, his voice so loud that everyone in the corridor could hear him clearly. Fang Xiaonuan carefully kept Ji Wen¡¯s hair in her pocket, then walked back to Liu Siyu and pushed her to the side of Ji Wen¡¯s bed. She quickly swept away the hair on Liu Siyu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You guys chat here for a while. I¡¯m going out for a while and will be back soon.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan finished speaking, she left with the two strands of hair from each of them. In the ward, Liu Siyu turned around and shouted at the door, ¡°Hey! Xiaonuan, you¡¯re leaving us two disabled people here?¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not care less. She quickly ran to the hospital¡¯s forensic identification department, registered, and handed the hair to the nurse. She asked, ¡°Can youpare the DNA between an aunt and nephew?¡± ¡°The test can determine a familial rtionship,¡± the nurse replied. ¡°Alright, alright. Familial rtionship is enough. Please hurry up.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart was about to leap out of her throat. She had forgotten that there were still two disabled people in the ward. She had applied for an urgent appraisal fee, but it would still take three hours. In the ward, Ji Wen looked at Liu Siyu and said, ¡°Siyu, I want to go to the toilet.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of telling me? Do you think I can support you?¡± Liu Siyu patted her leg and said, ¡°I don¡¯t even have a walking stick.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Don¡¯t you have a wheelchair? Did I ask you to prop me up? you should help me get a nurse!¡± Liu Siyu lowered her head and looked at the wheelchair, ¡°But, how do I move this thing? It¡¯s my first time, how could I know?¡± Ji Wen helplessly looked at the ceiling. After a while, he really could not hold it in anymore. He could only strenuously reach for the call bell at the head of the bed. He finally seeded after failing dozens of times. The phone rang, and the nurse¡¯s voice came from it. ¡°Bed 25? What is it?¡± ¡°Can I trouble a nurse to help me?¡± Ji Wen asked. Liu Siyu was still ying with her wheelchair. ¡°What sort of wheelchair did Fang Xiaonuan rent for me? it doesn¡¯t even know how to spin!¡± ¡­ Fang Xiaonuan had disappeared three times. This time, Liu Siyu finally understood how to use the wheelchair. She managed to move around Ji Wen¡¯s bed. ¡°Xiaowen, this wheelchair is too convenient. I¡¯ll get the nurse to get you er. We¡¯ll get one each.¡± Ji Wen, ¡°I can¡¯t sit in a wheelchair.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Oh, right, I forgot that you¡¯re seriously injured. But why did your uncle beat you up so badly?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°If I knew the reason, I would be able to rest in peace.¡± Liu Siyu felt that Ji Wen was really pitiful, even more so than her. Fang Xiaonuan had finally returned. She looked at Liu Siyu, then at Ji Wen. The two of them were chatting happily. No wonder she had always felt that the two of them looked alike. She had originally thought that they were soulmates like legends foretold, but in the end, they were actually aunt and nephew! But the problem was, if Siyu was her husband¡¯s sister who had gone missing for many years, then where was the real Liu Siyu? She had seen photos of Liu Siyu when she was young. This person really existed. What happened in between? Also, did the Liu family know that Liu Siyu was not their biological daughter? The Liu family knew. This child¡¯s appearance had changed so much over the years. How could they not know? Could it be that the people who kidnapped Xiaoyu and Ji Lingchen were from the Liu family? But why did they treat Liu Siyu like their own daughter? Liu Siyu is the apple of the Liu family¡¯s eye. ¡°You¡¯re back. Why are you standing at the door? Are you guarding the door?¡± Liu Siyu said sarcastically. Only then did Fang Xiaonuan return to her senses and enter the ward. Then, the pairined about how unreliable she had been earlier. Liu Siyu had even bragged to Fang Xiaonuan that she had learned a new skill, wheelchair-riding. ¡­ In the afternoon, Liu Siyan picked up Liu Siyu. When he found out that Liu Siyu was in the hospital, he immediately rushed over and reprimanded Liu Siyu for being disobedient. ¡°Brother Liu, are you afraid that Liu Siyu will run into my husband?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked calmly. Liu Siyan looked at Fang Xiaonuan, and the two of them looked at each other. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words pierced Liu Siyan¡¯s heart. Liu Siyan had no idea about Liu Siyu¡¯s rtionship with the Ji family, but after Ji Lingchen mentioned the scar on Liu Siyu¡¯s arm, he felt uneasy. After Liu Siyan left with Liu Siyu, only Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan were left in the ward. Chapter 271 - 271 Destined to Be a Family 271 Destined to Be a Family Ji Wen asked Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Hey! Why did your husband beat me upst night?¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not answer his question. Instead, she calmly said, ¡°Xiaowen, Siyu is your aunt.¡± Ji Wen scoffed. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m an idiot?¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at the ¡°idiot¡± on the bed. He was clearly not very smart! ¡°Alright, you idiot. You can rest. I¡¯ve already found a nurse for you.¡± She picked up her bag and left the ward. Ji Lingchen only returned home at nine. He had a social event to attend that day, so he returned home a littleter. Fang Xiaonuan had been waiting for him for a long time. Ji Lingchen thought that his little wife was anxious to sleep with him. He hugged his little wife and was about to kiss her when Fang Xiaonuan pushed him away. She then took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and said calmly, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve found Xiaoyu.¡± The lust in Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes dissipated as he looked at his wife. The bedroom fell silent. He let go of his wife¡¯s soft body and asked, ¡°You did a DNA test?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied calmly, ¡°I¡¯m the only one who could get a strand of her hair.¡± She told her husband about how she had gotten her hair and how she had waited in the hospital for three hours. Then, she sincerely apologized to her husband, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t believe you before. The test proves that Liu Siyu and Ji wen are indeed rted by blood.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s mind buzzed when he heard that. He could not believe what he just heard. He had been searching for Ji Xiaoyu for fifteen years, and now that he had found her, he was at a loss. The test results that his wife handed to him felt heavy in his grasp. He slowly unfolded the folded report and read it. He was in shock, like he had been pierced by something. He was stunned and could not move. Fang Xiaonuan had not expected things to turn out like this. When she received the report in the afternoon, she was in the same state as her husband. Her mind was nk and she was beyond shocked. ¡°Hubby, you can give your mother an exnation now.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes reddened as he looked at the piece of paper in his hand. This was the first time Fang Xiaonuan had seen her husband in such a state. Seeing his reddened eyes, her heart ached as well. She opened her arms and hugged her husband. That night, Ji Lingchen brought his wife to his mother¡¯s memorial tablet. Fang Xiaonuan had never paid her respects to a deceased person before, so she did not know what to do. She did as her husband told her. There was only one cushion, so Ji Lingchen knelt on the ground and ced the cushion under Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s knees. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her mother-inw¡¯s memorial tablet. It was very dark. She would normally be afraid, but with her husband by her side, she was not afraid at all. There was a basin in front of the mat. Ji Lingchen opened the test report, lit it, and threw it into the basin to burn it. ¡°Hubby, Dad and Brother haven¡¯t even looked at it, and you¡¯ve already burned it?¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his wife and asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, are you afraid of Mom¡¯s photo?¡± Fang Xiaonuan raised her head and looked at the woman in the photo who had a gentle smile on her face. She shook her head. ¡°Maybe mom knows that I¡¯m her daughter-inw, so she can¡¯t bear to make me afraid.¡± ¡°Then, can you apany me here tonight?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded her head solemnly. She could not bear to let her husband stay in such a dark ce for the entire night. The report had been burnt to ashes. Ji Lingchen held his wife¡¯s hand and said to the memorial tablet, ¡°Mom, we found Xiaoyu. it¡¯s all because of your daughter-inw.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She did not dare to take the credit. ¡°Mom, the credit isn¡¯t mine. It belongs to my husband who hasn¡¯t given up all these years. I didn¡¯t believe him at first and even quarreled with him. But in the end, I realized that my husband was right.¡± ¡°But without Xiaonuan, I wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to meet Xiaoyu.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his obedient little wife who was kneeling beside him. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Xiaonuan, I wouldn¡¯t have gotten the test report so quickly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt a little guilty. If she had listened to her husband earlier and had been less stubborn, she might have gotten this test report a long time ago. She looked up at the memorial tablet and said, ¡°Mother, you don¡¯t have to worry too much about Xiaoyu. She has not been suffering. Her adoptive parents and the Liu family¡¯s oldest son are very good people. They really dote on Xiaoyu. I¡¯ve known Xiaoyu since middle school, and Xiaowen too.¡± Thinking of the unlucky child lying in the hospital, Fang Xiaonuan added, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a good thing or a bad thing for Xiaowen. He only has two good friends. I became his aunt, and Xiaoyu ended up his aunt too.¡± He had be the nephew of his two best friends. This was probably fate. They were destined to be a family. Chapter 272 - 272 What Kind of Fate 272 What Kind of Fate Fang Xiaonuan continued to ramble, ¡°Mom, I think you must have been blessed by the heavens. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? You must¡¯ve seen me and liked me, so you let me be best friends with your grandson and daughter, right?¡± ¡°Then, you realized that your son didn¡¯t even have a girlfriend, so you decided to let me be your son¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°Mom, you really have good taste. This marriage is really good for us. My husband is good in every way, but he has a cold heart. My heart is warm, so I ended up being able to warm my husband¡¯s heart.¡± ¡°Although we didn¡¯t have the chance to meet, I think you¡¯d definitely like me if you were still here. You already like me. If I sit on the floor and chat with you, you won¡¯t mind, right?¡± After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan rubbed her knees. She had been kneeling for a long time, and her legs were numb. Ji Lingchen quickly stood up and pulled his wife up. ¡°If you can¡¯t kneel, then don¡¯t. Mom won¡¯t be angry.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was finally able to rx her knees, but standing for a long time would also tire her out. Thus, she simply sat down on the cushion and crossed her legs, as if she was meditating. She then leaned her body against her husband¡¯s body, which was much morefortable. After a while, she fell asleep. In the end, she fell asleep on her husband¡¯sp like a kitten. In the dark room, Ji Lingchen faced his mother¡¯s memorial tablet for the first time without a sense of loneliness and guilt. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve found Xiaoyu. I finally don¡¯t feel guilty when I see you. Xiaonuan is a lively and adorable person. With her by my side, I don¡¯t feel lonely anymore. I¡¯ve been looking for Xiaoyu for 15 years, and she¡¯s kept me going for these 15 years as well. It¡¯s time to change.¡± As he spoke, he caressed his little wife¡¯s face. In the wee hours of the morning, Fang Xiaonuan, who was sleeping soundly, was carried back to her room by her husband. When she woke up, she was already on her bed. Fang Xiaonuan scratched her head and asked, ¡°Huh? I was chatting with my husband and mother-inw, right? How did I get back?¡± She had already changed into her pajamas. It must have been her husband who loved to take advantage of her. Just as she was about to get off the bed, Ji Lingchen pushed the door open and entered. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± ¡°Yeah, when did you carry me back?¡± ¡°Your mother-inw must have been worried that you¡¯ll catch a cold. She asked me to carry you back,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Ji Lingchen had a smile on his face ever since he found his sister. He kissed his wife who had just woken up and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯re my lucky charm.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, however, said in an unromantic manner, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t praise me so much. If I make you angry in the future, you¡¯ll think that I¡¯m more of a jinx than a lucky charm!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Hubby, you can¡¯t be so sure. I can¡¯t even control my ability to anger people,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen chuckled. When Fang Xiaonuan was washing up with her husband, she asked him, ¡°Hubby, are you going to tell Xiaoyu now?¡± There were still many things that Ji Lingchen had yet to investigate. Now that he had found his sister, he could finally rx. If he were to act rashly, he was worried that it would upset his sister. Ji Lingchen calmly analyzed the current situation, then said to his wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, can you take me to the Liu family¡¯s home?¡± ¡°Sure, no problem,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. After washing up, she picked up her school bag and went to school. Seeing Liu Siyu again, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s feelings for her became more potent. After all this, her best friend had be her sister-inw. She rested her chin on her hand and stared at her. ¡°What are you looking at me for?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°What kind of dogsh*t fate do you think the three of us have?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Please say something I¡¯ll understand!¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and kept her mouth shut. It was not that she meant to keep it from her. It was that her husband had deliberately instructed her not to tell Xiaoyu first. He was afraid to agitate his sister. For some reason, Fang Xiaonuan felt that even the winter sun was warm when she found out that her best friend was her sister-inw. Even the cold air seemed to have turned warm. Feeling joyful, Fang Xiaonuan ate a thousandyer durian cake for lunch and rice noodles in the afternoon. Then, she bought arge portion of stinky tofu after school. She ate it as she walked. Liu Siyu was still limping. She asked in confusion, ¡°Xiaonuan, what has you in such a good mood? Why did you eat so much today?¡± ¡°Oh, something great happened at home.¡± As she spoke, Fang Xiaonuan stuffed two pieces of stinky tofu into her mouth. The person who took her home was Ji Lingchen. The person who came to pick Liu Siyu up had also arrived. It was Liu Siyan. Chapter 273 - 273 Snail Rice Noodles 273 Snail Rice Noodles This time, when the four of them met, Ji Lingchen did not look at Liu Siyu with a probing gaze. Instead, he asked with a loving smile, ¡°What happened to your leg?¡± Seeing Ji Lingchen¡¯s smile, Liu Siyu felt less afraid of him. She replied, ¡°I sprained my ankle when I was going down the stairs.¡± ¡°Be careful when on your way home. Pay attention to how you¡¯re walking,¡± Ji Lingchen instructed. Liu Siyu nced at Fang Xiaonuan and replied with an ¡°Ok¡± before getting into the car with Liu Siyan. Fang Xiaonuan promised her husband, ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t worry. Xiaoyu is my sister-inw. As her sister-inw, I will definitely take good care of her.¡± Ji Lingchen smiled at his little wife. ¡°Ah! I didn¡¯t know that my naughty kitten knows how to take care of others.¡± Fang Xiaonuan hugged her husband¡¯s arm and said coyly, ¡°I can learn. She¡¯ll just be my guinea pig.¡± Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan left. Just as Ji Lingchen was about to bring his wife home, Fang Xiaonuan stopped him. ¡°Hubby, give me a moment. I¡¯ll bring some food back for Dad.¡± Ji Lingchen held his little wife¡¯s hand as they walked around the campus. When they arrived at the stall selling snail rice noodles, a strong sour smell assaulted their nostrils. Ji Lingchen furrowed his brows. Did his wife want to bring this into his car? ¡°One serving to go, please!¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s mood instantly soured. ¡°Xiaonuan, isn¡¯t this thing a little too stinky?¡± ¡°It smells stinky, but it¡¯s delicious!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. She did not notice her husband¡¯s disdainful expression or the fact that he was pinching his nose. Ji Lingchen wondered how he ended up with a wife who had such unique tastes. However, no matter how ufortable Ji Lingchen was, he did not stop his wife and allowed her to bring the stinky snail rice noodles into the car. The car was immediately filled with a sour smell. Ji Lingchen quickly rolled down the car windows and pinched his nose. He was almost unable to breathe. It was only then that Fang Xiaonuan noticed her husband¡¯s actions and expression. She smiled evilly and said, ¡°Hubby, you can¡¯t stand the smell?¡± ¡°But you know what? Think about it. Imagine that every time you kiss me, I¡¯ve just had a bowl of this. If I burp ¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking.¡± Ji Lingchen could not bear to listen any longer. His wife¡¯s mouth was obviously fragrant and sweet, so why did she have to eat something as smelly as this? Fang Xiaonuan had sessfully disgusted her husband. She pouted at her husband, who was driving. ¡°Hubby, I had durians for lunch, snail rice noodles for lunch, and stinky tofu just now. Can you still kiss me today?¡± ¡°Brush your teeth when we get home.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. ¡°I won¡¯t!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°I¡¯ll drag you to the bathroom myself. I¡¯ll make sure you smell good again,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan was so happy that she giggled. Then, she said, ¡°Tomorrow is Saturday. Hubby, if you¡¯re free, let¡¯s visit the Liu family.¡± Ji Lingchen nced at his little wife. As expected, she understood him. She was probably the girl his mother had always meant to choose for him. After returning home, Fang Xiaonuan walked inside with the snail rice noodles. The servants all retreated. Feng Qi also covered her nose and sniffed, ¡°Xiaonuan, what did you buy? Why is it so smelly?¡± ¡°This is the delicious snail rice noodles I bought for Dad,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°I won¡¯t eat that sh*t!¡± Old Master Ji pinched his nose and cringed. ¡°Don¡¯t you regret this!¡± Ten minutester, Old Master Ji was wiping his nose and slurping the bowl of sour and stinky soup. ¡°Xiaonuan, you¡¯re so good to me!¡± ¡°Dad, didn¡¯t you just say that this was sh*t?!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Old Master Ji asked. ¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡± Old Master Ji wiped his nose again. ¡°But Xiaonuan, next time when you buy this, ask for less chili oil. My nose is killing me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I know. This is already less spicy. Next time, I¡¯ll buy you something even milder.¡± Old Master Ji had tried something new. After he finished eating, he did not forget to post a picture of it on his WeChat moments, praising the dish. After sending the message, Old Master Ji went to the living room with his phone. ¡°Give my photo a like, Feng Qi. My two sons, give my photo a like too.¡± Ji Lingchen handed his phone to his wife. ¡°Xiaonuan, give Dad a like. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± He felt like his entire body was covered in the stench of the noodles. Feng Qi also went upstairs to take a shower after liking the post. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan was dragged into the bathroom by her husband. She did not want to go, so Ji Lingchen just carried her. Chapter 274 - 274 Visiting a Patient 274 Visiting a Patient In the bathroom, Fang Xiaonuan roared, ¡°Ji Lingchen, why are you here when I¡¯m taking a shower!?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll supervise you,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°I don¡¯t need your supervision, get out!¡± ¡°Otherwise, you might not do a good job of cleaning yourself,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, if youe any closer, I¡¯m going to burp. I¡¯ll smoke you out!¡± ¡°Be good. Brush our teeth first,¡± Ji Lingchen said. After Fang Xiaonuan finished brushing her teeth, she felt unwell. She felt naked and exposed again. In the bathroom, the two bodies were intertwined, but because there was no bed and no ce to lie down, the two were forced to explore new positions. Fang Xiaonuan did not know anything, so she could only listen to her husband¡¯s instructions. In the end, her husband lifted her up and her back was pressed against the wall. Her husband was afraid that her back would feel cold, so he even ced a towel behind her. After a while, the two of them moved to the toilet. Fang Xiaonuan was extremely embarrassed. She had only heard of people doing this on the toilet bowl, but she had never tried it herself. It turned out that the toilet bowl could also be used to do this. It was both embarrassing and strange. She would never be able to look directly at the toilet bowl again! Two hourster, Fang Xiaonuan was lying in bed, feeling weak all over. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, was in high spirits. He hugged his young wife and gently caressed her, unable to let her go. Fortunately, the next day was a Saturday, so Ji Lingchen could truly enjoy his wife¡¯spany. Fang Xiaonuan was like a fish on a chopping board, already disoriented and at her husband¡¯s disposal. Ever since they entered this stage of married life, she hadpletely lost the time to y with her phone at night. If she could not get up in the morning, her husband would not wake her up. Every day, Fang Xiaonuan would wake up naturally. When the sun shone into her room, she would shout, ¡°Hubby, the curtains aren¡¯t closed!¡± At that time, Ji Lingchen would immediately close the curtains. Fang Xiaonuan was not in the mood to eat. ¡°Xiaonuan, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Old Master Ji asked with concern. Why did this child look like she was on drugs? She looked so lethargic. Fang Xiaonuan rested her chin on her hand and started to doubt her life. She had wanted to go to the Liu family¡¯s house in the afternoon, but she had put it off until the afternoon. Following her directions, the two of them arrived at the Liu family¡¯s main entrance. Since he was here to visit, he had to bring gifts. Ji Lingchen opened the trunk and took out many gifts. He even brought some bone-nourishing food. Fang Xiaonuan knocked on the door. ¡°Xiaoyu, I¡¯m here. Are you in?¡± Liu Siyu was resting her feet on the coffee table, enjoying the fact that her brother had to wait on her. When she heard the voice, she turned to look at Liu Siyan. ¡°Brother, go and open the door for Xiaonuan. She¡¯s here to see me.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to let other peoplee over?¡± Even though he said that, he still went to open the door. When he saw Ji Lingchen standing beside Fang Xiaonuan, his expression darkened. Ji Lingchen was no longer at loggerheads with Liu Siyu. It was as if he had already found out what he wanted to know from Liu Siyu. ¡°Brother Liu, Xiaoyu is injured and I can¡¯t drive. My husband happened to be home, so I asked him to take me to see Xiaoyu.¡± Since the guests were already here, there was no reason to drive them away. Liu Siyan could only force himself to open the door, ept the gifts, and invite the two into the house. The moment Fang Xiaonuan entered the house, she sprinted toward her sister-inw who was on the sofa. ¡°Siyu, my husband and I are here to see you.¡± Liu Siyu realized that her best friend had note alone. There was a scary man behind her. She quickly took her feet off the coffee table and sat obediently. She tried to speak to Fang Xiaonuan with her eyes. It looked like she was saying ¡°You could¡¯vee yourself. Why did you bring your husband?¡± Fang Xiaonuan nced at her husband, then blinked at Liu Siyu as if to say, ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that my driving skills are terrible. If I be disabled too, the three of us will be disabled!¡± Ji Wen was still recuperating in the hospital. Liu Siyu¡¯s ankle injury had not recovered. If Fang Xiaonuan were to crash into the road or a tree, and got hurt, it would be over! If it was just the car that suffered, it would still be fine. Then, the three of them would really be in the same boat. If they were hospitalized together, they would be able to y fight thendlord! ¡°Xiaoyu, how¡¯s your leg?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. For some reason, she felt that Ji Lingchen was gazing at her with a lot of gentleness and love. He had looked at her that way since theirst meeting. This made her feel very embarrassed. Who knew that it was about to get even more awkward! She was about to reach for the bottle of water near Liu Siyan, but before she could reach it, she called out, ¡°Brother, I want some water.¡± Then, the two men got up at the same time and reached for the water bottle. They almost snatched it from each other. Liu Siyu was speechless. F*ck! She was clearly talking to her brother, so why was her friend¡¯s husband so enthusiastic? Chapter 275 - 275 A Wonderful Method 275 A Wonderful Method Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband. She understood how he felt. After all, he had been searching for his younger sister for 15 years. ¡°Ah, I always call my husband ¡®Brother¡¯ at home. He must be used to it.¡± Liu Siyu looked at her strange best friend and asked her with his eyes, ¡°You keeping up with lies. Let¡¯s see what else you cane up with.¡± Ji Lingchen also felt that his wife¡¯s excuse was inappropriate. Last night, when they were in the bathroom, she suddenly called him ¡°Uncle¡±, which made him so angry. Of course, she was punished in the end. Afterst night, Ji Lingchen had thought of a perfect way to punish his little wife. He would sleep with her. If taking her once was not enough, then he would do it twice. His little wife would definitely be obedient the next day. Now, his wife waspletely under his control! Coming back to the present, Ji Lingchen also felt that he had behaved inappropriately. He quickly let go and let Liu Siyan pass the bottle to Liu Siyu. !! ¡°Brother, my feet are cold!¡± Liu Siyu said to her brother in a spoiled manner. Liu Siyan went upstairs to get a nket to cover her legs. He even picked his sister up and brought her closer to him. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ll get my assistant to buy you a thermos and deliver it here. It¡¯s cold. Keep yourself warm.¡± Liu Siyu was at a loss for words. This was way too strange! Why was her best friend¡¯s husband treating her so well? Liu Siyan¡¯s expression turned even more unsightly. ¡°CEO Ji, I can buy anything my sister needs. It¡¯s gettingte, so you should head back with Xiaonuan!¡± Liu Siyan was so angry that he directly asked him to leave. Fang Xiaonuan also felt very awkward. She stood up and said, ¡°Well, Brother Liu, Siyu, my husband and I will be leaving first.¡± She then pointed at the supplements on the ground. ¡°My husband asked someone to buy these. They can speed up Xiaoyu¡¯s recovery.¡± Ji Lingchen had a preliminary understanding of the Liu family, and he had alsoe to the conclusion that Liu Siyu was very dependent on her brother. After exiting the Liu residence, Ji Lingchen got into the car. Fang Xiaonuan stood at the door and said goodbye to Siyu, ¡°I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯lle back to see you another day.¡± Liu Siyu tugged at Fang Xiaonuan and asked in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your husband today?¡± Hended his nephew in the hospital, but he was so concerned about a stranger like her. Not only did he give her tonics, but he also came to visit her. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband in the car. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about him. He has a lot of problems and likes to meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± On the way back, Fang Xiaonuan spoke. She sighed ¡°It¡¯s a good thing I know that Xiaoyu is your sister. If I didn¡¯t know, I would have thought that you were plotting against her!¡± Just as she finished speaking, her husband knocked her on the head. ¡°Ji Lingchen, you¡¯ve changed. You used to gently ruffle my hair, but now you¡¯re hitting me!¡± Fang Xiaonuanined. Ji Lingchen looked at the ¡°kitten¡± beside him, who was fuming. ¡°If I could take my heart out without dying, I promise you would see that you, my disobedient little kitten, upy every bit of it.¡± A certain ¡°kitten¡± was no longer angry. She pouted and said, ¡°You¡¯re saying that I¡¯m disobedient again.¡± She was obedient now! ¡°Which wife would call their own husband ¡®Uncle¡¯?¡± Fang Xiaonuan knew that she was in the wrong, but she still insisted, ¡°Who asked you to offend me first?¡± On the way back, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mouth never stopped moving. When they got home, Ji Lingchen warned her, ¡°Go back to your room and take a nap. You¡¯re not allowed to visit Xiaowen in the hospital.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who had originally nned to go to the hospital said, ¡°Xiaowen is so pitiful. He¡¯s in the hospital all by himself.¡± ¡°He¡¯s reaping what he sowed!¡± Ji Lingchen said. How dare he say that he had problems in the bedroom? If he was not his nephew, he would have beaten him to death! Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s car keys got confiscated by her husband. Old Master Ji was especially happy. This way, Xiaonuan could stay at home and y with him! Because Fang Xiaonuan had taught Old Master Ji how to y games, his friends had all called him an inte-addicted old man. Ji Lingchen did not attend any social events, nor did he go to the office. Instead, he went straight to Yanyu Corporation, the corporation founded by Liu Siyu¡¯s mother. Thepany¡¯s name was based on her children¡¯s names. He stopped downstairs and waited patiently. Sure enough, after a while, Liu Siyan came over. He parked his car opposite the Maybach, then got into Ji Lingchen¡¯s car and asked, ¡°Why did you want to see me?¡± It turned out that while the two sisters were chatting at the Liu residence, the two men had secretly set a time to meet. One sent his wife home, and the other settled his sister. Then, the two met up. Liu Siyan was also very curious about the rtionship between Ji Lingchen and Liu Siyu, what had happened fifteen years ago, and why there was a child found by the sea. ¡°Where¡¯s the real Liu Siyu?¡± Ji Lingchen asked directly. He did not want to waste any more time. Liu Siyan turned to look at the man beside him. How did he know that she was really his sister? ¡°Is she dead?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Chapter 276 - 276 The Real Liu Siyu 276 The Real Liu Siyu Liu Siyan did not answer. Instead, he asked, ¡°What is your rtionship with Xiaoyu?¡± Ji Lingchen looked out of the window and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m her older brother.¡± Liu Siyan¡¯s thoughts were pulled back to that day 15 years ago. A child was crying and hugging his leg. No one was allowed to touch her, except for him. ¡°Brother, carry me. I¡¯m scared!¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± How could Ji Lingchen be so sure when he had been watching his sister so closely? ¡°Xiaonuan secretly took Xiaoyu and Xiaowen¡¯s hair and submitted them for a DNA test without my knowledge. They are rted, so Liu Siyu is my biological sister, Ji Xiaoyu. There¡¯s a scar on her left arm because she bit herself. She wanted to give herself a scar because she was afraid that I wouldn¡¯t be able to find her.¡± Everything Ji Lingchen matched up with what happened to his sister. It turned out that he had already confirmed his sister¡¯s identity, but he was in no hurry to tell the truth earlier today. At this point, Liu Siyan had no need to hide it anymore. He had always been afraid that his sister would be taken away, but in the end, he had not been able to stop this. He wanted to take his sister to have the scar removed, but his sister subconsciously resisted. It was as if her subconscious was telling her that it should not be removed. She must have been waiting for her brother to find her. Liu Siyan said slowly, ¡°My biological sister passed away 15 years ago.¡± It turned out that the real Liu Siyu had suddenly suffered from brain cancer 15 years ago. In the end, she passed away. At that time, their family was away. Liu Siyu could not walk steadily and almost fell several times. Mr. Liu carried his daughter as they walked, but even when they got home, Liu Siyu would not stop crying andining. Her parents took her to a small clinic nearby which prescribed her some medicine. After taking it, she went home and fell asleep. However, she could not be woken up the next day. Mrs. Liu felt that something was wrong with her daughter and immediately drove her to the hospital in the city. After the results of the examination came out, the doctor hurriedly told the couple to go through the hospitalization procedures and that the child needed to be operated on immediately. Mr. Liu and his wife were both scared out of their wits. Liu Siyan also looked at her sister, who was lying on the bed, feeling numb. There were always scenes in television series and movies where people¡¯s lives were on the line but they were saved. However, real life was cruel. His sister did not receive a miracle. In the end, her life ended when she was five and a half years old. Liu Siyan would never forget how his sister looked when she took herst breath. His mother cried so hard that she fainted. His father could not stand. He crumpled on the ground and cried. Liu Siyan leaned against the wall and looked at his sister¡¯s face as the white cloth descended over it. She looked like she was asleep, and her body was still warm. He hoped that a miracle would happen, that his sister would suddenly wake up and run to him, call for him coquettishly, and mor for him to carry her. However, no such miracle happened. Liu Siyu was gone, and Mrs. Liu was half dead. She began to sleepwalk and talk nonsense, and she slowly lost her grip on reality. The doctor said that if the child arrived at the hospital earlier, they might have been able to save her. However, she had spent the night at home and it was toote. Mrs. Liu med herself. She regretted taking her daughter to a small clinic for medicine. Then, she walked to the beach in a daze. ¡°My mom had aplete mental breakdown. She went to the beach and just kept walking, straight into the sea. She regarded Xiaoyu as more important than her own life. She could not ept Xiaoyu¡¯s death at all. It was also that day that the girl appeared.¡± Half of Mrs. Liu¡¯s body was already submerged, and her husband had just found her. He hurriedly rescued her, but Mrs. Liu had lost her will to live and was very lethargic. Then, Liu Siyan found a little girl by the sea. She looked about the same age as his younger sister, and her face was pale and bloodless. She looked like she was sick. ¡°Mom, Dad, there¡¯s a kid over there!¡± Mr. Liu saw Ji Xiaoyu lying on the beach. He left his wife in his son¡¯s care and went to see if the child was still alive. The little girl¡¯s body was cold, and the wound on her arm was swollen from being soaked in seawater. No one knew how long she had been lying there. Mr. Liu checked her breathing and found that it was very weak. This child was very strong. ¡°They had just lost a daughter. Then, they found another child of the same age. My mother firmly believed that she was my sister. Coincidentally, the child also said that her name was Xiaoyu. My mother went crazy and insisted that my sister¡¯s soul was living in this child.¡± ¡°We sent her to the hospital. While she was recuperating, my parents were holding a funeral for my sister. After everything was over, she was discharged. She was young and could not express herself clearly. She might have lost part of her memory. She only knew that her name was Xiaoyu and that her brother woulde to find her. We didn¡¯t know what happened to her. We went to the police station to ask around, but the police weren¡¯t notified that a child went missing.¡± ¡°In the end, my dad wanted to send her to an orphanage. His daughter had just died, and his wife was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He didn¡¯t have the capacity to take care of this child.¡± Chapter 277 - 277 The Truth About What Happened 15 Years Ago 277 The Truth About What Happened 15 Years Ago Coincidentally, at that time, Ji Xiaoyu always hugged Liu Siyan and called him ¡°Brother¡±. She even said that she was scared. Mrs. Liu felt that her daughter¡¯s soul was living in that child¡¯s body. In the end, Mr. Liu could not bear to send her to an orphanage. ¡°Xiaoyu, are you willing to be Liu Siyu?¡± Liu Siyan asked her. Ji Xiaoyu did not understand what he meant, but the Liu couple understood. He was suggesting that they let this child take the ce of Liu Siyu in their lives. ¡°So, you¡¯re the real brother she¡¯s been looking for,¡± Liu Siyan said. Ji Lingchen did not manage to find out about these things. This exined why Liu Siyu had never disappeared and why his sister could not be found. This was what happened. After the real Liu Siyu passed away, the Liu family found his sister. However, it was strange. His whole family was looking for his sister, so why didn¡¯t they call the police? Ji Lingchen was puzzled. The Liu family kept Liu Siyu hidden for a year. During this period, Liu Siyu did not meet many people, not even her grandparents. When she emerged in public again, everyone said that Liu Siyu had be prettier and whiter than before. The Liu family members only smiled and stayed silent. With Liu Siyu¡¯spany, Mrs. Liu¡¯s mental state slowly recovered. She often hugged the sleeping Liu Siyu and muttered to herself, ¡°Xiaoyu, I miss you very much. Don¡¯t leave me or I won¡¯t be able to live.¡± It seemed like the Liu family was happy again, just like they were before. However, Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and Liu Siyan knew that the real Liu Siyu was no longer around. Liu Siyan was also afraid that his sister would leave. The feeling of never being able to see her again was too unbearable. However, he did not expect that the ¡°brother¡± of the little girl they saved was actually the current king of the business world, Ji Lingchen! If it was an ordinary family, the Liu family could still fight for her, or even use their power to bury this matter. However, Ji Lingchen¡¯s family was far more powerful. Liu Siyanughed at himself. As expected, his sister had another family. ¡°How did the young miss of the Ji family get lost?¡± That day, the two men talked for a long time in the car and roughly recounted what had happened in the past. After Ji Lingchen fell unconscious, Ji Xiaoyu was taken away. When he woke up, his family was with him, but his sister was long gone. Ji Xiaoyu fell into the sea. The currents were too strong, and Ji Xiaoyu lost a part of her memory. Then she met the Liu family who had just lost their daughter. She went on to live in Liu Siyu¡¯s ce. At that time, she was still young and with the injuries she sustained, she ultimately had no idea that she was not their biological daughter. Ji Lingchen had been looking for her for 15 years. Today, he could finally rx. he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. 15 years¡¯ worth of shackles had finally been broken. Liu Siyan asked, ¡°CEO, can I ask you for one thing? Can you not divulge Liu Siyan¡¯s true identity yet? I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t be able to take it. ¡± Liu Siyan was also worried that his mother would have another mental breakdown. Ji Lingchen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Siyan. ¡°The Ji family will definitely acknowledge Xiaoyu.¡± ¡°I understand. My family just needs some time to slowly ept the truth. Please. She¡¯s also a child of the Liu family,¡± Liu Siyan said seriously. When Ji Lingchen thought about how the Liu family had taken care of his sister for so many years, he agreed. ¡°You have a month at most. This year, I¡¯m taking her back to the Ji family, so she can acknowledge her ancestors and n.¡± Liu Siyan was very content with that. After thanking him, he got out of the car and left. Back at the Liu house, Liu Siyan went to Liu Siyu¡¯s bedroom and saw her lying on the bed leisurely, ying games. She spoke through a microphone. ¡°Xiaowen, your feet don¡¯t work, not your hands. Why are you so slow? I¡¯m going to die!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°You insisted that I, a patient, y games with you two while I¡¯m still bedridden. You don¡¯t even feel sorry for me. You¡¯re scolding me! I can¡¯t y this game anymore. y on your own. I¡¯m not ying anymore!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Don¡¯t, Xiaowen. You can leaveter. When my husbandes home, I won¡¯t need you anymore. My husband can y with me.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Me too, Xiaonuan!¡± Liu Siyan knocked on the door. ¡°Xiaoyu,¡± he said. ¡°Let¡¯s have a chat after this game.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Ah? Brother, you¡¯re back. I thought you went to the police station. Wait a moment!¡± After one more round, the three of them stopped ying. Liu Siyu sat up and asked, ¡°Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?¡± Liu Siyan looked at his sister¡¯s curious face and did not know what to say. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Is there anything you want to eat tonight?¡± Liu Siyu replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t Xiaonuan buy me some spare ribs? You can make a stew with that. I¡¯ll have some and send some to the hospital.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Liu Siyan said. Chapter 278 - 278 Killing the One Who Helped You 278 Killing the One Who Helped You Meanwhile, Ji Lingchen had also reached home. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re back,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°Yeah. Didn¡¯t I tell you to go to sleep before I left? Why are you ying with your phone again?¡± ¡°Dad insisted that I y with him,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°You¡¯re the one who stole my phone,¡± Old Master Ji said angrily. ¡°Dad, are you trying to kill the one who helped you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan started bickering with Old Master Ji. ¡°You started it,¡± Old Master Ji said. Ji Lingchenughed helplessly. He walked to the living room and pulled his little wife away. ¡°I¡¯m going back to my room to catch up on some sleep!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Fang Xiaonuan returned the phone to Old Master Ji and even made a face. ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m not going to y with you anymore. I¡¯m going to sleep with my husband. You can y on your own!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need yourpany either. I¡¯m going to y with my grandson!¡± Old Master Ji said stubbornly. ¡°Master, Young Master Ji Wen is still in the hospital!¡± the butler reminded him. ¡°Get the car ready,¡± Old Master Ji said. ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital to y games with my grandson.¡± The butler was speechless. ¡­ Liu Siyu¡¯s ankle had finally recovered. She had spent thest few days panicking. That day, she had said that her feet were cold, and Ji Lingchen had said that he wanted to give her a foot warmer. She had thought that he was joking, but he really did. Then, all kinds of supplements and gifts came one after another. At school, Ji Lingchen came to pick up Fang Xiaonuan, but he offered to take her out for a meal. She rejected him on the spot and ran off to find her brother. The scariest thing was that Ji Lingchen had returned from a business trip with a gift for Fang Xiaonuan. This was normal, but why did he bring one for her too? Liu Siyu was so scared that she threw the gift away. ¡°That diamond you just threw away cost 10 million,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said calmly. Liu Siyu quietly picked it up. ¡°Xiaonuan,¡± she said. ¡°Why did your husband do that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. That¡¯s just how he is,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Xiaonuan, you can¡¯t just tolerate him like this. Think about it. He¡¯s so good to me. You and I are like sisters. I can¡¯t ept this. Imagine if he does this for other women. Did you forget that gold diggers exist? Now that Ji Lingchen has slept with you, will he court another woman? This kind of scumbag really deserves to die!¡± Liu Siyu stood up for her friend, then stuffed the diamond into Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hands. ¡°Take this back and throw it at his face. Then, tell him that my rtionship with my best friend is as strong as gold and that it¡¯s something he can¡¯t destroy!¡± ¡°And you, Fang Xiaonuan, you have to start acting like his wife. If he dares to mess around with other women, let him know that you¡¯ll beat him to death!¡± Fang Xiaonuan had been tormented by her husband for the entire night and waspletely lethargic. She was sprawled on the table and closed her eyes as she listened to Liu Siyu. She pushed the diamond back. ¡°Just take it. We¡¯re more than best friends. We¡¯ll be a family sooner orter. My husband is great. He won¡¯t go out and mess around. He¡¯s just very good to you.¡± Liu Siyu scoffed. ¡°Why? Is he sick in the head? He should be good to you. Why would he be good to me?¡± Fang Xiaonuan forced her eyes open and looked at Liu Siyu, thinking, ¡®You¡¯re his sister.¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me, I¡¯m sleepy!¡± she said. Fang Xiaonuan was exhausted by the demands of her marriage, and she was catching up on sleep. Fang Xiaonuan had a beautiful dream. In the dream, she stepped on Ji Lingchen, then jumped around on his body. She stepped on him until he cried out in pain. It was really too satisfying! Ji Lingchen had asked Secretary Song to prepare two sets of gifts. Secretary Song said, ¡°CEO Ji, pardon me for asking, but did you prepare the present for madam and Ms. Liu? Or did you deliberately buy a gift for Ms. Liu and bring one for Madam just to shut her up?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Secretary Song said, ¡°If it¡¯s the former, I¡¯ll have to advise you, CEO Ji. One gift is very precious. Two gifts are cheaper. If there¡¯s only one present, Madam will be very happy, but if she receives one of the two gifts, Madam¡¯s happiness will be halved.¡± ¡°Also, Madam might have misunderstood. She might have thought you were giving her a gift just so she wouldn¡¯tin.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s thetter, that means there¡¯s a problem with your marriage, CEO Ji.¡± ¡°Are you trying to say that Xiaonuan isn¡¯t that happy to receive her gift?¡± Secretary Song nodded. ¡°All women hope that they are unique in their husbands ¡®hearts. No matter who it is, the wife¡¯s position is the most important. Even if Madam knows about Ms. Liu¡¯s identity, she will definitely feel disappointed.¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you now because I understand how you feel. However, in the long run, if this bes a habit, Madam will feel more and more disappointed. This may be a source of conflict in your marriage, and your rtionship will be affected.¡± Chapter 279 - 279 CEO Ji Realizes His Mistake 279 CEO Ji Realizes His Mistake Ji Lingchen thought about it carefully. These days, he had given his little wife gifts, but she only nced at them before putting them back into the box. Before this, whenever she received a gift from him, she would be so happy that she would jump into his arms like a little rabbit. She did not seem to be as happy thest few times, and she had not worn any of them yet. Secretary Song saw that her message had been conveyed, so she said, ¡°CEO Ji, I¡¯ll take my leave first. Call me if you need anything.¡± !! Ji Lingchen nodded. After Secretary Song left, he turned on his phone and looked at his recent chat history with his little wife. [ Hubby, the Liu family hasn¡¯t told Xiaoyu about her identity yet. Do you want me to tell her? ] Fang Xiaonuan replied, [ Xiaoyu¡¯s ankle has recovered. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take good care of her in school. ] [ Hubby, don¡¯t be so enthusiastic. Xiaoyu is scared. You can treat her well when she learns who she is! You¡¯re making the Liu family very nervous. Xiaowen might even suspect that you have ulterior motives. ] ¡­ After Ji Lingchen finished reading the chat history, he was no longer in the mood to work. During this period of time, his little wife¡¯s understanding and sensibility made his heart ache. He got up, picked up his car keys, and left the office. Seeing that the CEO had left, Assistant Liu went to chat with Secretary Song. ¡°Look, CEO Ji is skipping work again. Last time, his wife came to look for him and he skipped work. Now, he¡¯s skipping work even when she¡¯s not here. He¡¯s skipping work more and more frequently. Will he even abandon thepany in the future?¡± Secretary Song shook her head. ¡°He won¡¯t. He spent tens of millions on a gift for madam. If he abandons thepany, he won¡¯t be able to afford to buy her gifts like that anymore.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. It seems like I¡¯m overthinking it,¡± Assistant Liu said. Jing University The moment school ended, Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband at the door. He had made an excuse about wanting to pick her up but he was actually visiting his sister. ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pulled Liu Siyu over and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, let¡¯s send Xiaoyu hometer.¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s eyes were wide. Was her friend crazy? Ji Wen also looked at Fang Xiaonuan as if she was a lunatic. Was there something wrong with her brain? Ji Lingchen also saw Liu Siyan, who hade to pick up Liu Siyu. ¡°Xiaoyu, someone else is here to pick you up. I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was puzzled. Ji Lingchen pulled his little wife into his arms, then said to Ji Wen, ¡°Can you drive home by yourself?¡± ¡°No problem.¡± Ji Wen nodded. After Liu Siyu¡¯s ankle recovered, Ji Wen was discharged from the hospital. Ji Lingchen let Ji Wen drive home by himself, and he took his little wife to Shuxiang Garden. Fang Xiaonuan was overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events. Her husband usually treated her very well, but his actions today had surprised her. When they were eating, she went straight to the point and said, ¡°Hubby, what do you want me to do for you? Just tell me.¡± Ji Lingchen paused, his chopsticks hovering in the air. Did his little wife think that he was being nice to her because he had a request for her? He put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair. He asked seriously, ¡°Xiaonuan, if I give you and Xiaoyu the same gift, would you mind?¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan also put down her chopsticks and said, ¡°From the perspective of your wife, I definitely mind. But I understand how you feel, so I¡¯m a little bothered but not angry.¡± ¡°If it bothers you, why didn¡¯t you say something?¡± Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°If I tell you that I¡¯m not happy, and that you¡¯re only allowed to give me gifts in the future, I¡¯ll be too petty. Moreover, if I said that, you would think that I¡¯m insensible. Why would I do that? We worked hard to get where we are. I don¡¯t want to quarrel or give you the silent treatment over something so small.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife, who looked a little aggrieved. He had not noticed how his wife had been feeling recently. ¡°Xiaonuan,¡± he said sincerely, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I made a mistake.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan pouted. ¡°I can understand your intentions.¡± Fortunately, her husband¡¯s sister was her best friend. That made it more eptable to her. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°One gift is precious, but two is cheap. Thank God Secretary Song reminded me of this. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have realized my mistake.¡± He got up and sat beside his wife, hugging her. ¡°In the future, just tell me if you feel ufortable. It¡¯s my first time being a husband, and sometimes, I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ve made a mistake. If you don¡¯t give me feedback, you won¡¯t be telling me the truth.¡± At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan was as soft as an obedient kitten. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be unhappy if I say too much.¡± Ji Lingchen was taken aback by his wife¡¯s words. Could it be that she had a lot of issues to bring up with him? ¡°Do you have any other opinions about me?¡± Chapter 280 - 280 Not Enough Times 280 Not Enough Times Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and said softly, ¡°Can we make love less often?¡± ¡°No!¡± Ji Lingchen replied. He could correct the other problems, but not this! Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and said, ¡°Oh.¡± She knew that her husband would not agree to that. ¡°Then don¡¯t hug me to sleep. I have a pillow, so I don¡¯t need your arm.¡± !! ¡°No.¡± Ji Lingchen refused again. ¡°You can¡¯t use your pillow. You can prevent cervical spondylosis by using my arm as your pillow.¡± Fang Xiaonuan put forward her third request, ¡°Then, can you call me ¡®kitten¡¯ behind my back? Thest time I went to visit my parents, theyughed at us.¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s my pet name for you,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan brought up the fourth request, ¡°Then, don¡¯t pick me up from school in the future. I¡¯ll drive home myself.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°No, it¡¯s almost the new year. There are so many cars. I¡¯m worried that it¡¯ll be too dangerous for you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. The new year? It wasn¡¯t even winter break yet. She raised four requests, all of which were rejected by her husband. Did her husband just say those touching words for fun? That night, Fang Xiaonuan paid a terrible price for being angry with her husband. The next morning, she woke up and shouted in the bedroom, ¡°Ji Lingchen! Do you want me to give birth to your child now?¡± ¡°If we¡¯re trying to have a child, we¡¯d need to do it a lot more times. This wouldn¡¯t be enough,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. For a very long period of time, Fang Xiaonuan only wore high-cored clothes. every day in ss, she would slump on the table and fall asleep. At night, she was forced to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning, and every morning, she would feel dizzy. The moment she saw her husband, she wanted to run away. Finally, one day, Fang Xiaonuan managed to escape by going to her family¡¯s house. Ji Lingchen chased after her as soon as he found out. Then, in the middle of the night, he took his little wife out of bed and brought her home. Of course, being pampered by her husband was not without its benefits. For example, after her husband was satisfied, she could make all kinds of requests, and he would not reject them. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯ve taken a fancy to a bag. There¡¯s only three of these in the entire world.¡± The next day, the bag was lying quietly on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s dressing table. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I have my eyes on a gown. However, I don¡¯t want to wear it. I just want to have it.¡± Then, she found the gown hanging in her dressing room. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯d like us to have matching couple¡¯s watches.¡± The next day, the two of them put on the couple¡¯s watches. That night, Fang Xiaonuan became her husband¡¯s ¡°little midnight snack¡± again. After it was over, she was calcting something in her head. Then, she made her request. ¡°Hubby, my high school ssmate who has been abroad ising back this weekend. We¡¯re going to wee her home. Xiaowen and Xiaoyu areing too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to drink. Send me your location when you¡¯re there, and I¡¯ll pick you up after you¡¯re done.¡± Fang Xiaonuan finally had a brief moment of freedom. When she arrived at school, she excitedly said to her two good friends, ¡°My husband finally agreed to let me go to the party!¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Why do you have so little freedom since you got married? You even need your husband¡¯s permission to go to a party.¡± Of course, Fang Xiaonuan did not want it to be like that, but she was married. There were so many men and women at the party, so she had to let her husband know no matter what. ¡°Did your brother say yes?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Of course. My brother said I can¡¯t drink. I¡¯ll send him the location when I get there. He¡¯ll drive to pick me up after the party.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Are all men¡¯s brains the same? Why did they all say the same thing? My husband said the same thing!¡± Then, the two of them looked at Ji Wen. ¡°Oh, so you two are treating me as a man now?¡± Ji Wen asked. Upon hearing this, the two of them turned away at the same time. ¡°That¡¯s true. There¡¯s no use asking him!¡± Ji Wen was speechless. Ji Lingchen probably knew how much he was bothering his wife, so he paid more attention to her recently. Other than going to work, he would only asionally go out to socialize. After that, he would also help her practice her driving. In fact, she just went to pick him up, showing up in front of everyone as his wife. Liu Siyu finally stopped calling Ji Lingchen a jerk. However, every time she thought about the past, she would feel that there was something wrong with her sister¡¯s tastes. Ji Lingchen was too much of a scumbag! Sometimes, on the way home, she wouldin to Liu Siyan, and Liu Siyan would enjoy her rant. Mr. Liu also met up with Ji Lingchen in private. As a father, he had to have a good talk with him about his daughter. After the two finished their conversation, Ji Lingchen could feel Mr. Liu¡¯s reluctance to part with his daughter. Chapter 281 - 281 The Class Reunion 281 The ss Reunion Ji Lingchen personally walked Mr. Liu to the door. ¡°Mr. Liu, thank you for loving my sister for all these years.¡± Mr. Liu sighed. He did not have much time left with his daughter. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend. Fang Xiaonuan had dressed up like an emperor penguin. Ji Wen saw this and said, ¡°You¡¯re too tired from walking, so you¡¯re nning to roll to the party, right?¡± As expected, Ji Wen was beaten up. After the beating, Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I¡¯m already wearing more than enough, but your little uncle insisted that I put on more. I know where he¡¯sing from. He just wants me to look as ugly as possible. That way, no one will like me, and he won¡¯t have to worry.¡± Ji Lingchen, who was passing by, did not refute this. Only he could appreciate his wife¡¯s beauty. In front of outsiders, especially in front of people of the same age and opposite sex, the uglier she dressed, the better. Of course, no matter how ugly Fang Xiaonuan was, it did not stop him from pulling her into the cloakroom and bullying her. Ji Wen said, ¡°That¡¯s not right. If my uncle announced that you¡¯re his wife, would anyone dare to seduce you? They won¡¯t if they value their lives!¡± Ji Lingchen was in the kitchen pouring water when he heard this. He suddenly felt that his nephew was notpletely useless. This was a good idea! His identity was enough to intimidate those people. After pouring the water, he walked over and handed the cup to his little wife. ¡°Here, drink some water.¡± The moment Fang Xiaonuan thought of what her husband had done to her in the cloakroom, she got angry, so she turned her head away arrogantly. ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m not drinking it!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take you thereter,¡± Ji Lingchen said. At the same time, he could also assert himself as her husband. Fang Xiaonuan huffed and said, ¡°No! That¡¯s not happening. That¡¯s not all. I¡¯ll also hook up with a handsome boy. I¡¯ll let the handsome boy send me home and then kiss and hug me in front of you. I¡¯ll make you so angry!¡± Ji Lingchen knew it was a lie, but he was still furious. He kept his smile. ¡®Very good!¡¯ His little wife was about to go to her ssmate¡¯s gathering, so Ji Lingchen did not bully her immediately. The night was long anyway, so he had plenty of time tonight! Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen left in the same car. ¡°Aunt,¡± Ji Wen said before he started driving, ¡°I¡¯ll be drinking today. Don¡¯t forget to bring me along when your husbandes to pick you up.¡± ¡°Why are you calling me aunt? Call me big sister!¡± Fang Xiaonuan had deliberately let her husband hear Ji Wen call her ¡®sister¡¯. After seeing her husband¡¯s unhappy face, Fang Xiaonuan got into the car and left happily. The party was held on the roof of a hotel, which had many entertainment facilities, an open-air pool, and a gym. However, it was cold so no one went swimming. Everyone was sitting around on the sofas, and the table was filled with all kinds of wine. At the hotel entrance, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen waited in the car for Liu Siyu to arrive before going upstairs together. Ji Wen was very friendly with the other boys. When he went upstairs, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll have a drinking contest with themter. Don¡¯t drink, you two.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your uncle doesn¡¯t allow me to drink,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°I¡¯ve only drunk with you two, ¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°I don¡¯t drink with anyone else.¡± Ji Wen nodded. ¡°Yes, if someone askster, just say that you¡¯re allergic to alcohol and can¡¯t drink it. Don¡¯t talk to them. If anyone urges you to drink, just call me. Yue Qi is here tonight too. That guy pursued Siyu for three years and is not a good person. Keep your guard up. Don¡¯t drink anything he gives you.¡± Liu Siyu and Fang Xiaonuan both agreed. The elevator reached the top floor, and Ji Wen walked out first. When someone saw him, he immediately stood up with a ss of wine and greeted him, ¡± Ah, Young Master Ji is here! Everyone, let¡¯s give him a warm wee!¡± Ji Wen took a ss from him and they clinked sses. He took a sip and said, ¡°You guys are early.¡± Following that, someone tried to pass wine to Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu, but the two of them waved dismissively and did not take it. ¡°Let¡¯s just have some drinks.¡± ¡°You can drink in the hall. This can hasn¡¯t been opened yet!¡± the person who handed the wine said. Ji Wen took the wine and turned to look at the two girls. ¡°Girls, don¡¯t drink anymore. If we drink too muchter, who¡¯s going to call a taxi for us?¡± Some people were unwilling to give up and kept trying to pass wine to Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Beautiful Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯ve wrapped yourself up so tightly today. You¡¯re so cute. Once you¡¯ve had enough drinks, I¡¯ll take you away tonight.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°If you knew that my husband was Ji Lingchen, would you still dare to speak so arrogantly?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drinking anymore. I¡¯m allergic to alcohol.¡± After a while, another boy handed Liu Siyu some wine. ¡°I can¡¯t focus on Fang Xiaonuan alone. In my heart, Siyu, you¡¯re the most beautiful. Siyu, drink some. It¡¯s not very strong. If you drink too much, I¡¯ll send you home.¡± Liu Siyu looked at the wine, but she did not take it. She said lightly, ¡°Thank you. I¡¯m allergic to it too.¡± Chapter 282 - 282 Already Married 282 Already Married Ji Wen was with Yue Qi, the guy who had been pursuing Liu Siyu for three years. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother about the girls. Let¡¯s go and drink.¡± After they got away from them, Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu looked at each other. ¡°My nephew is very protective of us.¡± Liu Siyu did not find anything wrong with that. She nodded and said, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true.¡± The two of them looked around and saw a few familiar girls not far away. The girls spotted them to and started waving at them. ¡°Xiaonuan, Xiaoyu, over here.¡± The two of them walked over and saw their ssmates who had just returned from abroad. Fang Xiaonuan asked about many things that had happened overseas because her brother, Fang Hang, had gone to study there too. Her parents had said that Fang Hang wanted to return to his country and did not want to continue studying at an overseas university. However, her parents wanted him to finish college first. Thepetition in the National College Entrance Examination was too intense, and Mr. Fang also wanted to expand his business into overseas markets. One of the people who had stopped people from passing them wine was someone who took a fancy to Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan was concerned about her brother, so she asked a few more questions. She wanted to help him get some information in advance. Ji Wen was sitting among the boys. Someone teased him, ¡°These two beauties have been by your side for so many years. Which one do you like?¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Of the two of them, one has a sharp tongue and the other is ruthless. How would I dare to choose them? ¡± ¡°Ji Wen, can you help me score one of them?¡± one of the boys said. Before the guy could say who he wanted to establish a connection with, he was rejected by Ji Wen. Ji Wen said, ¡°Liu Siyu¡¯s older brother is a police officer. He¡¯s already after several people in our school. Her brother has even found out where one of her admirers lives. As for Fang Xiaonuan, she¡¯s already taken. She¡¯s someone you can¡¯t afford to offend.¡± Ji Wen understood that these people were not only interested in their appearance, but also in their status. Liu Siyu¡¯s father held an important position and had great power. Her brother had a good future and would definitely be promoted in the future. Many of the businessmen in the family wanted to marry into the Liu family. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s family was in the business world, and they were doing well. Someone secretly asked Ji Wen, ¡°You¡¯re so close to Fang Xiaonuan, is she married?¡± After Fang Xiaonuan got married, she posted on her social media ounts, and that made people¡¯s imaginations run wild. She had also shown off some gifts and posted some photos of dates, so many people had privately discussed that she was definitely in love. Moreover, some said that the Fang and Ji families had an arranged marriage, but Fang Xiaonuan had never made it public to her circle of friends. Everyone was confused. Before the three of them had arrived, they had already discussed whether Fang Xiaonuan was engaged. Coupled with what Ji Wen had just said, the person they could not afford to offend was¡­ Ji Wen looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was among the girls. ¡°I¡¯ll let her tell you herself.¡± Some of the girls noticed the ring on Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ring finger. Everyone exchanged nces, and someone asked, ¡°Xiaonuan, are you in a rtionship?¡± Fang Xiaonuan showed off the ring on her finger. ¡°I¡¯m already married.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re married? Is the ¡®hubby¡¯ you posted on your moments real?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Do you think I¡¯de up with a fake one to trick you guys?¡± Everyone was shocked. Their ssmate had actually gotten married! Everyone looked at Fang Xiaonuan in shock, not knowing what to say. ¡°Xiaonuan, why didn¡¯t you inform us that you were getting married? When did you get married? Who¡¯s your husband?¡± One of the students asked three questions in a row. Fang Xiaonuan smiled. ¡°We got married in a hurry. During the summer break. He¡¯ll being over to pick me up tonight. You¡¯ll know who he is then.¡± She deliberately did not say it directly. Otherwise, people would keep asking her about her husband, and she would not be able to have peace. There were also other girls who refused to give up and continued to ask Fang Xiaonuan about her husband. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and refused to answer any of them. Being Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife would definitely get too much attention. All she wanted to do was to attend the ss reunion. Someone asked Liu Siyu for more information. Liu Siyu nced at the stupid person in front of her. Why did this person think that she would betray her best friend? Not far away, two boys stood behind a green nt, staring straight at the girls. One of them was Yue Qi, who Ji Wen looked down on the most. Yue Qi grabbed a can of beer and drank with the other boy as they admired Liu Siyu. ¡°I really want to bully her. My heart skipped a beat the first time I saw her.¡± Yue Qi stared at Liu Siyu¡¯s face and fantasized. ¡°If only I could kiss her, torture her, and push her onto the bed.¡± He looked at the girls in the crowd and then at the swimming pool in the middle of the top floor. Everyone would definitely go swimming in the summer, but it was too cold now, so the swimming pool was just for show. ¡°Isn¡¯t kissing her the easy part? ¡± The boy beside himughed lecherously. ¡°She¡¯s an innocent little girl. With a little trick, she¡¯ll obediently climb into your bed, Young Master Yue.¡± Chapter 283 - 283 Drinking Competition 283 Drinking Competition ¡°Do you have a good idea?¡± Yue Qi asked with great interest. ¡°We¡¯lle up with a great way to help you solve this problem!¡± another boy said. The two of them smiled at each other and clinked their drinks. In Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ss, there were usually no boys who would go and provoke her, because they had heard many stories of her hitting people. Even Ji Wen had been beaten up three times, and two had been sent to the hospital. If he wanted to pursue Fang Xiaonuan, he had to be able to beat her. Otherwise, if she was unhappy one day, she would hit him and send him to the hospital. Therefore, if he wanted to woo Fang Xiaonuan, he had to be able to beat her! !! Ji Wen had said long ago that they would definitely participate in a drinking contest. They had just done one round and there was no clear winner yet. They were ready to try again. ¡°It was a draw just now. This time, let¡¯s just drink a bottle of beer. One round costs 100000 yuan. Do you dare?¡± One of the boys pointed at Ji Wen. Ji Wen smiled and ced an empty can on the table. He felt that everyone was just a student, so he said, ¡°100000 is too much. It¡¯s just a ss reunion. 10000 yuan per round is enough. There¡¯s no need to y for so much.¡± When the other men heard this, they thought that Ji Wen was afraid, so they sarcastically said, ¡°Young Master Ji, it¡¯s not that you can¡¯t afford to lose, right? If you don¡¯t have money, you can bet the two beauties beside you so that we can have a chance with them. Hahaha!¡± The people around them made fun of Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu, but to Ji Wen, they were insulting his best friends! Ji Wen, who was stillughing just now, immediately became gloomy. His eyes were filled with anger as he said, ¡°You think I can¡¯t afford to lose? If you really want to y for so much, then let¡¯s bet five million. Whoever falls over first loses. Do you dare?¡± He smiled and nced at the students around him, locking eyes on the boy who had just made fun of his two friends. The man¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Five million? This much?¡± He dared to y 100000 yuan per round, but if it was 5 million yuan per round, he would have to pay 5 million yuan for every round he lost. That would be too great of a loss. Ji Wen did not seem to be joking. ¡°y! Why not? It¡¯s so exciting!¡± Yue Qi suddenly walked over and interjected. He even patted the boy who had been provoked by Ji Wen and said, ¡°Zhang Lian, this is such a fun game, you have to do it!¡± Zhang Lian¡¯s expression turned sour. ¡°Young Master Yue, I¡­¡± Yue Qi did not give him a chance to speak at all and said, ¡°We don¡¯t get together that often, so we must have fun. How about this, if you lose, I¡¯ll pay the five million for you. How about that?¡± ¡°Yo! Young Master Yue is so generous. As expected, Young Master Yue¡¯s family is rich!¡± Some of the studentsplimented him. ¡°Zhang Lian, just go ahead and y. Young Master Yue has already said that he will pay for you. If you win, the money will be yours. Why are you still hesitating?¡± Yue Qi patted Zhang Lian¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The students are watching. If you lose, I¡¯ll definitely help you pay.¡± Ji Wen nced at Yue Qi, who was up to no good, and then turned to look at his two good friends some distance away. He felt a little uneasy. ¡°Alright, since you want to y, y to your heart¡¯s content! Five million per round. Here you go. Serve me some beer!¡± Ji Wen took out his bank card and ced it on the table. Yue Qi also took out a card and ced it on the table. The two of them were alreadypeting in secret. After a while, all the bottles of beer on the table were cleared, and the waiter brought in more bottled beer. All the drinks were opened by the waiter. The girls not far away saw the scene and eximed, ¡°Waa! Ji Wen is going to have a drinking contest with Zhang Lian. Each round is worth five million. Everyone, let¡¯s go and take a look. They¡¯re ying with too much money!¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu looked at each other. The two of them stood up at the same time and walked over quickly. Ji Wen and Zhang Lian were still drinking non-stop. Ji Wen had even taken off his coat and thrown it on the sofa. He was only wearing a coffee-colored shirt, and he had a bottle of beer to his lips. Zhang Lian did not show any weakness and also drank from the bottle. He nced at Ji Wen from the corner of his eye, clearlypeting with him. Ji Wen was obviously faster. After he finished one bottle, he quickly picked up another. The onlooking male and female students were pping and cheering for the two boys. However, only Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu were upset. Their hearts ached for Ji Wen. Fang Xiaonuan tugged at a ssmate beside her and asked, ¡°If it¡¯s a drinking contest, then it¡¯s a drinking contest. Why do they have to y for five million a round?¡± The student said, ¡°Ji Wen set the bet at five million all on his own. Zhang Lian said at the beginning that if Ji Wen couldn¡¯t afford it, he could bet you or Siyu. In the end, he directly said he wanted to y five million.¡± Chapter 284 - 284 A Flash of Memory 284 A sh of Memory ¡°Can Zhang Lian afford to y for so much?¡± Liu Siyu asked. ¡°It was Yue Qi who suddenly said that if Zhang Lian lost, he would pay the five million for him, and if he won, he could keep it for himself. That¡¯s why he agreed.¡± Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan finally understood why Ji Wen wanted to y such a big game. Using women as bargaining chips was clearly as an insult targeted at the two of them. Ji Wen was angry, so he proposed to y five million per round. ¡°Zhang Lian is courting death!¡± Liu Siyu scolded. After that, she looked at Yue Qi, who was shouting the loudest, and said, ¡°Xiaonuan, can you help me beat this guy to death?¡± Fang Xiaonuan took a look at the current situation. Ji Wen had already finished six bottles of beer. She tried to keep calm and said to Siyu, ¡°Xiaoyu, tell the waiter to hurry up and serve some food as soon as possible.¡± Liu Siyu turned around and walked out of the crowd. If the dishes were served, the drinking session might halt. Fang Xiaonuan looked worriedly at Ji Wen, who was drinking non-stop. The beer in the bottle was diminishing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. When Liu Siyu went to call for someone, Yue Qi and another person exchanged a look. The two nodded slightly, as if they had reached some kind of consensus. Liu Siyu was followed by a male student. Just as everyone was gathering to watch the show, a ¡°plop¡± sound was heard not far away. ¡°Not good!¡± someone suddenly shouted. ¡°Siyu fell into the water!¡± Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly turned to look in the direction of the swimming pool. Liu Siyu was fully clothed and struggling in the water. She wanted to call for help, but the icy cold water gushed into her mouth and nostrils the moment she opened her mouth. She could not open her eyes, so she could only close her eyes and reach out to feel around. However, she could not stand steadily, nor could she grab onto anything. She wanted to call for Fang Xiaonuan, but a memory suddenly appeared in her mind. ¡°Brother,¡± she sobbed. ¡°I¡¯m scared. Don¡¯t fall asleep.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry, Xiaoyu. I will protect you.¡± A boy covered in blood was hugging her tightly. Her body was covered in blood, and the boy looked a little like Ji Lingchen. Liu Siyu shook her head. The boundless sea appeared in her mind again, and she cried in despair while floating on the sea¡¯s surface. ¡°Brother, please save me. I¡¯m so scared.¡± Her arm started to hurt, and she cried. ¡°Xiaowen, Xiaoyu is drowning!¡± Fang Xiaonuan shouted. After she shouted, she ran to the pool and took off her coat. Ji Wen had already drunk a lot, and his entire face was red. When he heard Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words, he choked and began to cough violently. He turned his head and saw the girl who had fallen into the water. He staggered up and ran over, pushing Fang Xiaonuan away just as she was about to jump into the pool. He plunged into the cold water. He saw Liu Siyu struggling in the water and immediately swam over. He held Liu Siyu up, letting her head surface. Yue Qi did not even have the time to be the hero. Ji Wen beat him to it. Ji Wen was not wearing a coat because of the drinkingpetition. He had jumped into the pool immediately without even considering how much he had just drunk. After Liu Siyu¡¯s head came out of the water, she could finally breathe. She kept coughing, and Ji Wen moved her to the side of the pool. Fang Xiaonuan knelt on the ground and pulled the drenched Liu Siyu up. She quickly draped the cotton-padded jacket she had just taken off over Liu Siyu¡¯s body, then reached out to pull Ji Wen to the side of the pool. The moment her hand touched the water, it turned cold. She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. It was easy to imagine how cold the two of them were. After Liu Siyu recovered, she also leaned down to pull Ji Wen up. The others stopped drinking and gathered around. After pulling Ji Wen up, Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two of them worriedly. Ji Wen¡¯s teeth were chattering as he asked, ¡°Did you drink too much? You don¡¯t even know how to swim, so why did you jump into the pool?¡± Liu Siyu turned around and red at Yue Qi¡¯s friend. She asked angrily, ¡°Li Shu, why did you push me just now?¡± Li Shu also did not expect that Ji Wen would end up the hero here. He was already so drunk that he could not walk steadily. Yue Qi was even slower than him and he was not drunk. He looked at Yue Qi, his face full of disappointment. Such a good opportunity, but it was gone just like that. Yue Qi was also very angry. He had paid five million yuan for Zhang Lian topete with Ji Wen so that his n would go smoothly. In the end, Ji Wen still saved Liu Siyu. Fang Xiaonuan followed Li Shu¡¯s gaze and saw Yue Qi in the crowd. Yue Qi was looking at Ji Wen with hatred. She clenched her fists tightly, unable to suppress the violent anger raging through her. She stood up and walked in front of Li Shu. She punched him in the face, then kicked him in the calf. Then, she throw him into the cold pool. Chapter 285 - 285 A Shocking Relationship 285 A Shocking Rtionship Fang Xiaonuan did not stop there. She turned around and strode over to Yue Qi. Without waiting for him to react, she jumped up and grabbed his hair, punching him in the stomach with all her might a few times. Then, she threw him in the pool too. She wanted these two b*stards to experience what it was like to be soaked in ice water! After doing all this, she gritted her teeth and pointed at the two people in the pool. She warned, ¡°You two, just wait!¡± After that, she took Ji Wen and Liu Siyu to the hotel downstairs to change their clothes and take a hot bath. It was supposed to be a good weing banquet and a ss reunion, but after this incident, everyone lost the mood to hang out and quickly followed them downstairs to see how their ssmates were doing. Ji Wen and Liu Siyu each got a room. Fang Xiaonuan said to Ji Wen, ¡°You drank too much, you can¡¯t take a bath. Take a hot shower and get into bed. Give me the room card, I¡¯lle to see you in a while.¡± !! After that, she carried her trembling best friend, who was dripping with cold water, to the room next door. After entering the room, she quickly helped Liu Siyu take off her wet clothes. ¡°Yue Qi and Li Shu are really the f*cking same. When my brotherester, I¡¯ll ask my brother and mother to investigate their family!¡± Liu Siyu cursed them as she took off her clothes. However, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. Considering that an incident like that happened, she had to get her husband to make a trip over. After she helped Liu Siyu take off her clothes, she saw the bite marks on her arm. Fang Xiaonuan pulled on her arm and looked at the scar her husband had mentioned seriously. ¡°Xiaoyu, didn¡¯t you get the scar removed at the hospital?¡± Liu Siyu shook her head, pulled her arm back, and went into the bathtub. She turned on the tap to get warm water. Her body was too cold, and the slightly warm water was like needles on her skin. It hurt. Fang Xiaonuan soaked a towel in hot water and draped it over Liu Siyu¡¯s back. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Xiaonuan, I¡¯ll give you my brother¡¯s number. Call him right now. Ask him toe over and bring me clothes.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± she said. Fang Xiaonuan took out her phone and dialed the number Liu Siyu had given her. After exining the situation briefly, she also called her husband. In the hotel room, after Ji Wen had taken a hot shower, he walked out of the room in a bathrobe and just happened to see Yue Qi and Li Shu, who were also wearing bathrobes. The two should have already taken a shower. They were now openly smoking in the hotel lobby. Ji Wen¡¯s anger rose in an instant. He rushed over, picked up the ashtray on the table, and grabbed Yue Qi¡¯s cor. He was about to hit him. ¡°Ji Wen, don¡¯t be rash. Yue Qi didn¡¯t push Siyu!¡± ¡°Yes, impulsiveness is the devil!¡± ¡°Hurry up and separate the two of them. This is a positive event. Let¡¯s not spoil it!¡± ¡­ The surrounding students all gathered around to stop the fight, pulling Ji Wen and Yue Qi apart, but no matter what, they could not push Ji Wen¡¯s hand away. A sudden shout stopped Ji Wen. ¡°Stop!¡± It was Ji Lingchen, who hade to deliver the clothes. He frowned as he walked towards the crowd. Everyone was shocked. No one expected to see the legendary king of the business world here. It was not a picture on TV or on the inte, but Ji Lingchen in the flesh. He actually came to this ce! Yue Qi also looked at Ji Lingchen with some excitement. He hurriedly straightened up, wanting to leave a good impression of himself in front of Ji Lingchen. This way, when he inherited thepany, he might be able to rely on this chance encounter to give him a leg up. If he was lucky, he might even be able to cooperate with the Ji Corporation! Ji Lingchen stopped in his tracks when he reached the crowd. The students were even more shocked. If Ji Lingchen was not passing by this ce by chance, then he must havee here on purpose! When Ji Wen saw his uncleing, he hung his head guiltily. Since his uncle had seen what he was about to do, he quickly threw away the ashtray in his hand. The ashtray fell onto the ground and rolled far away. ¡°Uncle,¡± Ji Wen said without any confidence. Ji Lingchen did not reprimand his nephew. Instead, he handed the bag in his hand to Ji Wen and said indifferently, ¡°Put on your clothes before you fight!¡± Everyone was so shocked that they could not close their mouths. What did Ji Wen just call Ji Lingchen? Uncle? Then he was Ji Lingchen¡¯s nephew. ¡°Where¡¯s your aunt?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Ji Wen pointed to a room not far away. ¡°Siyu fell into the water. She¡¯s taking care of her in the room.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded. He turned around and walked to the door. He knocked on it. ¡°Xiaonuan, hubby¡¯s here,¡± Everyone¡¯s expressions were very interesting. They had not recovered from their shock earlier, but now here came another blow. Hubby? Xiaonuan was Fang Xiaonuan, right? A momentter, the door opened, and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face appeared. She called out in a soft voice, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re here!¡± Chapter 286 - 286 Reprimanding 286 Reprimanding Ji Lingchen sized up his wife from head to toe. After confirming that she was fine, he looked into the room and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Xiaoyu?¡± Fang Xiaonuan exited the room and closed the door. ¡°Hubby, Xiaoyu is taking a bath. It¡¯s not appropriate for you toe in.¡± Ji Lingchen nodded to show that he understood. Fang Xiaonuan asked again, ¡°Hubby, have you seen Xiaowen? He joined a drinking contest with someone before he jumped into the water to save Xiaoyu. He drank more than ten bottles!¡± When Ji Lingchen arrived earlier to deliver the clothes, he had already smelled the strong smell of alcoholing from his nephew¡¯s body. He knew that his nephew had drunk a lot. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the shocked faces of her ssmates not far away. She pulled her husband¡¯s hand and walked to them, meaning to introduce him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you all curious about who I¡¯m married to? This is my husband, Ji Lingchen. Have you heard of him?¡± How could they not have heard of him? In fact, everyone knew his name! They had not expected that Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s husband was Ji Lingchen! No wonder Ji Wen had specially warned them that Fang Xiaonuan was already taken. Furthermore, they could not afford to offend that person. Who would dare to offend the king of the business world? They would be courting death! Everyone¡¯s gazes immediately shifted from the ¡°ordinary¡± Fang Xiaonuan to Ji Lingchen, the great CEO Ji, who was hugging his wife. In an instant, it was as if a thousand-pound hammer had struck everyone¡¯s head, making them dizzy and unable to recover for a long time. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes shed, and she noticed Yue Qi, who was avoiding her gaze. She immediately shouted at her husband, ¡°Hubby, look at that guy in a bathrobe over there. Let me introduce him to you. He¡¯s the young master of the Yue family, Yue Qi.¡± ... Ji Lingchen¡¯s sharp eyes swept over him, and the tension in the air made Yue Qi want to run away. He was the one who had just fought with his nephew! Fang Xiaonuan continued. ¡°Young Master Yue is very capable. Just now, he got Zhang Lian and Ji Wen to have a drinking contest. He even plotted with Li Shu to push Xiaoyu into the pool.¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled darkly. Yue Qi was so flustered that he stuttered. ¡°C-CEO Ji, that has nothing to do with me. Fang Xiaonuan is wrong.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked at Yue Qi yfully, ¡°What did I say wrong? Where¡¯s Li Shu? do you want to drag him out for a confrontation? Don¡¯t be embarrassed to admit the ¡®good thing¡¯ you¡¯ve done. You were the one who sent Ji Wen and Siyu swimming in the winter. This is a good way to prevent cardiovascr and cerebrovascr diseases. It¡¯s especially good for the body. We will definitely thank you properly!¡± Ji Lingchen looked at the boy in front of him, who was panicking, and asked calmly, ¡°Which Yue family? Which Li family?¡± CEO Ji could not be bothered to talk to a group of students. At this age, only his wife in his arms could arouse his interest. Of course, he was not asking for no reason. Since he asked, he would definitely take action. He could put aside the drinking contest with his nephew, but he would remember them for deliberately pushing his sister into the water! Fang Xiaonuan quickly made aint, telling her husband thepany names and even their addresses. She was just short of telling her husband Yue Qi¡¯s and Li Shu¡¯s home addresses. Ji Lingchen nodded. He already knew what to do. After a while, Liu Siyan also arrived. He was carrying his sister¡¯s clothes. He knocked on the door. ¡°Xiaoyu, I¡¯m here. Open the door.¡± ... Liu Siyu opened the door for her brother. She was wearing a bathrobe. She was out of breath from the hot bath just now, and her face was red. After seeing Liu Siyan, she felt better. She threw herself into her brother¡¯s arms and cried, ¡°Brother, Li Shu pushed me into the pool on purpose. My clothes are all wet. I almost drowned and never saw you again. You have to take revenge for me!¡± Liu Siyan patted his sister¡¯s shoulder and tried to push her away, but Liu Siyu hugged him tightly and refused to let go. Her hands were wrapped around Liu Siyan¡¯s waist, and her fingers were sped together, locking her in ce there. Her biological brother could not take it anymore. His sister was hugging a man while wearing a bathrobe. He was unhappy! Ji Lingchen walked over and, without a word, pulled Liu Siyu¡¯s hands away. Liu Siyu, who was in the middle of hugging her brother, did not see who pulled her away. She cursed. ¡°Who the f*ck dares to separate my brother and¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she looked up and saw Ji Lingchen¡¯s gloomy face. She immediately shut her mouth and swallowed half of her curses. ¡°Continue.¡± Ji Lingchen spoke like a parent. Liu Siyu hunched her shoulders and quickly hid behind Liu Siyan, not daring to speak anymore. ¡°Who taught you to say that?¡± Ji Lingchen disdained to talk to students and was toozy to even get angry, but when he heard his sister say all that, he could not help but reprimand her. He had already adapted to his identity as an elder brother. ... Chapter 287 - 287 Refusing to Admit It 287 Refusing to Admit It Liu Siyu did not dare to speak. Fang Xiaonuan hurriedly walked over and tugged at her husband, who was still in a fit of anger. ¡°Why are you being so fierce? You¡¯re the only one with such a loud voice. If you scare Xiaoyu into tears again and she ignores you in the future, then what?¡± ¡°She¡¯s just a little girl. It¡¯s not appropriate for her to wear a bathrobe and hug a man. She even started scolding people. Can I not say anything?¡± ¡°She¡¯s hugging her brother. Who else should she hug?¡± Ji Lingchen was rendered speechless by his wife¡¯s words. Before his sister¡¯s identity became known, he had no right to interfere in Liu Siyu¡¯s affairs. Liu Siyan reached out and tucked Liu Siyu¡¯s hair behind her ear. Then he lowered his head, and kissed the top of her head lightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go inside and get you changed. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Liu Siyu obediently held his brother¡¯s arm and was about to enter the room. Suddenly, Ji Lingchen stepped forward. He grabbed Liu Siyan by the shoulder and pulled him back out. ¡°Why are you going in?¡± Liu Siyu gathered her courage and said to Ji Lingchen, ¡°My brother will keep mepany while I get dressed!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a 20-year-olddy. How can you let your brother in when you¡¯re changing?¡± ... With that, he snatched the bag from Liu Siyan¡¯s hand and threw it to Liu Siyu. Then he pushed his wife¡¯s back and said, ¡°Be good. Go in and apany her.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who had been pushed into the room by her husband was speechless. After the door closed, Liu Siyu finally could not hold it in any longer and asked Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°Xiaonuan, is there something wrong with your husband? Did he not forget to take his medicine today? Is it not enough for him to worry about you? Why is he worried about me as well? He¡¯s crazy and a big fool!¡± Fang Xiaonuan could not bear to listen any longer and said, ¡°Ah, stop it. My husband is so busy. How does he have time to worry about you too? Also, about you being pushed into the water this time, just wait and see. My husband will not let Yue Qi and Li Shu¡¯s family off.¡± Although he did not say much, the calmer Ji Lingchen became, the more he cared about this matter. People in high positions would not let others easily see through them. ¡°Xiaonuan, let me ask you something. Why has your husband been involving himself in my business recently? He¡¯s just always doing things that might cause people to misunderstand. And you¡¯re not angry at all?¡± Liu Siyu looked at her friend, puzzled. She hoped that she could give her an answer. Fang Xiaonuan took out the clothes from the bag and ced them on the bed one by one. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said, ¡°My husband once lost a younger sister.¡± Hearing this, Liu Siyu¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°So?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You probably remind him of her. That¡¯s why he treats you like a younger sister and want to take care of you.¡± The two of them fell silent. ... Liu Siyu shook her head, trying to get the memory of her crying and screaming for her brother out of her mind. ¡°You¡¯re so annoying!¡± ¡°Why are you saying the same thing as Sun Wukong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± After that, Liu Siyu took the clothes and went to the bathroom. Fang Xiaonuan picked up her friend¡¯s underwear and asked, ¡°Xiaoyu, don¡¯t tell me that your brother also took this from your closet.¡± ¡°What?¡± Liu Siyu snatched the underwear away. ¡°My mom gave it to me, okay?¡± After changing his clothes, Ji Wen went to stand next to Ji Lingchen. ¡°Siyu, how are you feeling?¡± Ji Wen asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Liu Siyu said, jumping up and down. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± They all nodded, and before the gathering ended, the three of them were brought home. In the car, Ji Lingchen turned on his vengeful mode again. ¡°Ji Wen, tell me everything you know about Yue Qi and Li Shu,¡± ... ¡°Alright, Li Shu is Yue Qi¡¯s follower and wants to curry favor with the Yue family,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°Yue Qi is a scoundrel. He has always liked Siyu, but she does not return his feelings. Once, Fang Xiaonuan even beat him up, but because the Fang family and the Yue family¡¯s power were on par, this matter was left unsettled.¡± ¡°Did Xiaonuan hit anyone today?¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said, ¡°No, I really didn¡¯t.¡± Ji Lingchen, who understood his wife very well, asked, ¡°You didn¡¯t throw them into the pool?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stubborn and said, ¡°They couldn¡¯t walk steadily, so they slipped and fell in,¡± she said. ¡°Is that so?¡± Ji Lingchen asked in return. ¡°Yes!¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded. In any case, she did not remember hitting anyone. If she could not remember it, it meant nothing. If her husband found out, she would not admit it no matter what. Otherwise, she would just say that she had lost her memory! Chapter 288 - 288 The Ginger Soup 288 The Ginger Soup Ji Lingchen then asked his nephew, ¡°Xiaowen, your aunt¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know anything. I drank too much and I lost my memory. I don¡¯t remember anything,¡± Ji Wen immediately said. Fang Xiaonuan was very satisfied with her nephew¡¯s reaction. Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. He had told his little wife many times not to fight, but she did not take his advice seriously. In another car, Liu Siyan was driving. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Usually, when he was driving, Liu Siyu was so talkative that Liu Siyan would sometimes want to throw her out of the window. But today, she was extremely quiet, as if her brain had frozen when she fell in the water. Liu Siyu scratched her head. ¡°Nothing much.¡± While Liu Siyan was waiting for the traffic light to turn green, he turned to look at his sister, who seemed to be troubled. Liu Siyu finally could not help but ask, ¡°Brother, let me ask you, how did the scar on my arme about?¡± Liu Siyan¡¯s grip on the steering wheel tightened. ¡°You bit yourself.¡± ¡°Why would I bite myself?¡± Liu Siyu asked. ¡°You were probably a little silly when you were young,¡± Liu Siyan replied. When they arrived home, Liu Siyu found no one in the house, not even the maids. ¡°Where did Mom and Dad go? Why are Grandpa and Grandma not here? Where are the maids?¡± Liu Siyu asked curiously. Liu Siyan said, ¡°None of them are here. What¡¯s wrong? ¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Could it be that her brother had taken her undergarments from the cab? She wanted to be struck down by a bolt of lightning! Liu Siyu blushed. ¡°Um, brother, I¡¯m a little sleepy. I¡¯m going to bed.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten yet, have you?¡± Liu Siyan had already found out that they only drank at the hotel. Liu Siyu was not hungry at first, but after hearing her brother talk about food, her stomach started to growl. Liu Siyan quickly took off her coat and casually left it on the sofa. He turned around and went into the kitchen. ¡°Come, let¡¯s talk. I¡¯ll cook some noodles for you.¡± Liu Siyu followed her brother into the kitchen. ¡­ After Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen reached home, Ji Lingchen went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for them. ¡°You two went to the party without eating?¡± Old Master Ji said with a look of disdain. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°We were deliberately saving our appetites so we can have dinner at home. That way, you can have ate-night snack with us!¡± ¡°Hmph, you¡¯re using me as an excuse!¡± After Old Master Ji finished speaking, he sat opposite the two. Ji Wen had drunk a lot and even jumped into the cold swimming pool. Ji Lingchen ordered the servants to prepare more hangover soup and ginger soup for him. Although Fang Xiaonuan did not jump into the pool, her husband forced her to drink a bowl of ginger soup too. The moment she saw the pungent ginger soup, her mood soured. She rolled her eyes and suddenly looked at her husband opposite her and asked, ¡°Hubby, do you love me?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Fang Xiaonuan pouted and thought, ¡®D*mn it, why isn¡¯t my husband ying by the rules?¡¯ ¡°But hubby, I really love you. I want to share all the good things in the world with you,¡± she said sweetly. Ji Lingchen had long picked up on his wife¡¯s tricks. ¡°Finish the ginger soup or you can¡¯t go to bed tonight.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan finished her meal, she looked at the bowl of unptable ginger soup and frowned. ¡°There¡¯s an old saying that ims carrots are for winter and ginger is for summer. It¡¯s winter now, so I can¡¯t drink ginger soup. I want to drink carrot juice!¡± Ji Lingchen could not do anything to his disobedient wife. Ji Wen had already finished the ginger soup, but his wife was negotiating with him at the dining table. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, how about this? You take a sip, I take a sip, and you take another sip?¡± When it came to negotiation, Ji Lingchen had never lost. His wife was overestimating herself. Ji Wen was enjoying the conflict and Old Master Ji was doing the same. The two of them ced their bets to see who would relent. ¡°I think Xiaonuan has been bested by your uncle,¡± Old Master Ji whispered into his grandson¡¯s ear. Ji Wen also whispered in his grandfather¡¯s ear, ¡°Grandpa, I think you¡¯ve underestimated Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s ability to torment people.¡± ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, and the ginger soup is getting cold. Don¡¯t make me force you to drink it.¡± Ji Lingchen deliberately tried to scare his wife. Fang Xiaonuan held the bowl and lowered her head to take a sip. She immediately frowned. This was too unptable! She mmed the bowl on the table and looked fearless. ¡°I won¡¯t drink it. I won¡¯t drink it even if my life is at stake. It¡¯s awful!¡± Old Master Ji saw that his daughter-inw¡¯s face was all pinched up. He asked, ¡°Is the ginger soup that bad?¡± Ji Wen deliberately tricked his grandfather. ¡°It¡¯s not that bad. She¡¯s just pretending. You¡¯ll know when you try it.¡± Then, a bowl of ginger soup was ced in front of Old Master Ji, who was more curious than anyone. Chapter 289 - 289 A Warning to Single Young Women 289 A Warning to Single Young Women Fang Xiaonuan did not expect that Old Master Ji would go looking for trouble this way. She said, ¡°Dad, are you that depressed?¡± ¡°I just want to try,¡± Old Master Ji replied. After that, he took a sip of the soup and spat it out. He put the bowl down and ran after his grandson with his walking stick. The grandfather-grandson duo ran out of the dining room, leaving only the young couple in the dining room. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the yellow soup in front of her and felt worried. Ji Lingchen could tell that his wife really did not want to drink the ginger soup, so he walked over to her bowl and took a sip. As expected, it was spicy and pungent. Fang Xiaonuan turned to look at her husband. Her face looked pitiful. She said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, can I not drink it? I¡¯m really fine.¡± Ji Lingchen put down the ginger soup and went back to his room. When he came back, he had a bag of brown sugar in his hand. He put a bit of brown sugar into the soup and stirred it. After the brown sugar dissolved, the ginger soup became reddish. Ji Lingchen tried it and found that it tasted much better. It was much easier to drink. He then picked up the bowl and ced it in front of Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Be good. It¡¯s not spicy anymore. Drink it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart melted when she saw what her husband did. It was just a bowl of brown sugar ginger water! She drank it! She held the bowl with both hands, brought it to her mouth, and gulped it down. Although it was much sweeter with the brown sugar, it still did not taste great. She stuck out her tongue and closed her eyes, looking like she was in pain. Ji Lingchen caressed his wife¡¯s head, then leaned over to kiss her red lips. The kiss ended quickly. Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze was intense as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the room.¡± He could do whatever he wanted only in the bedroom. Fang Xiaonuan had probably lost her mind from drinking too much ginger soup. She allowed her husband to lead her back to her room. It was obvious what happened next. When she was naked, her husband was on top of her. He took her in his mouth and rubbed his lips and teeth all over her. ¡°You want to find a handsome guy to make me angry? Hmm?¡± Fang Xiaonuan cried and begged for mercy. ¡°Hubby, I was wrong. I won¡¯t!¡± She felt good when she was talking big, but she regretted it in bed. After being lectured by her husband, Fang Xiaonuan learned her lesson the hard way. She would never deliberately anger her husband again. ¡°Be my obedient kitten from now on,¡± Ji Lingchen said as he pushed deeper into her. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face was flushed, and she mumbled while sweating profusely, ¡°Okay, be your good kitten.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s movements were gentle and lingering. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s experience was a clear deterrent to single young women. Marriage was not worth looking forward to, and they should not get married casually! After a one-on-one battle in bed, Fang Xiaonuan was panting. She had an impulse to castrate her husband! However, she did not dare to say that. She just imagined doing it. Fang Xiaonuan felt caught in a marriage of deep waters and burning mes. She was muddleheaded every day and did not even notice the changes in Liu Siyu. Liu Siyu had been asking her brother for photo albums at home recently. She would look at them for a long time until someone called her attention away. She closed the photo album. There was a picture of her standing in a wheat field with a puppy in her arms. However, she remembered that her family had never raised dogs, and she had never been to a wheat field. Liu Siyu felt a little uneasy. Liu Siyan remembered but he did not say anything. That night, Liu Siyu fell asleep. Liu Siyan went to his father¡¯s study in the middle of the night. He pinched the space between his brows and sat opposite his father. ¡°Dad, tell her the truth. Xiaoyu already knows something¡¯s off.¡± Mr. Liu lit a cigarette and started smoking. ¡°Your mother doesn¡¯t know yet. I¡¯m afraid she can¡¯t take such a big blow.¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Our family has kept her for 15 years. She has lived in our family for 15 years on behalf of my sister. She has the right to know the truth. Even if we did save her life, she has already paid her dues over the past 15 years. If Xiaoyu only finds out when the Ji familyes to us and asks for her, she won¡¯t be able to take it. It¡¯s not just Mom.¡± She was living a happy life. Suddenly, she would be told that she was not this family¡¯s biological daughter. Her parents who had always doted on her and her brother who always put her first were not rted to her. Her life of being treated like a princess and a beautiful girl was all a lie. If that day really came, Liu Siyan could not imagine what would happen to his family. He had already asked Ji Lingchen for a month, and he hoped that he could bid Xiaoyu goodbye at some point during this time. Liu Siyan picked up a cigarette from his father¡¯s table and started smoking as well. Chapter 290 - 290 Deductive Genius 290 Deductive Genius Mr. Liu had also met Ji Lingchen, and the two of them had discussed Liu Siyu. The entire Liu family had doted on Liu Siyu as if she was their own daughter and had never let her suffer the slightest bit. In the beginning, they had only treated her as a substitute. Butter, they all epted the fact that their daughter had passed away. They had long treated Liu Siyu as their own daughter. ¡°Siyan, I can¡¯t bear to part with Siyu either.¡± ¡°But she¡¯s not Liu Siyu. She¡¯s Ji Xiaoyu!¡± Liu Siyan sighed. There was a sudden knock on the door. !! Liu Siyan and Mr. Liu immediately became nervous. ¡°Who is it?¡± Mrs. Liu pushed the door open and entered the study. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at her husband and son. She had heard their entire conversation. ¡°Which Ji family is it?¡± Mrs. Liu asked, sobbing. She had fallen asleep, but she suddenly had a nightmare. After waking up, she went to her daughter¡¯s room. On her way back, she passed by her husband¡¯s study and heard voices inside. She felt that her daughter had been feeling offtely. She was always in a daze and depressed. She wanted to talk to her son and husband, and then she heard what they said just now. Liu Siyan looked at his mother and said worriedly, ¡°It¡¯s Ji Lingchen.¡± Mrs. Liu¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. She was determined to stop her husband and son from telling her daughter the truth. ¡°No one can take my daughter away!¡± She wanted to hide her daughter so that no one could take her away. Liu Siyan advised, ¡°Xiaoyu has been looking at old photos a lot recently. She even asked me a lot about her childhood. She¡¯s been in a daze recently. It¡¯s obvious that something¡¯s on her mind. She must have found out something.¡± Mrs. Liu was insistent and told her son, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to tell her!¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Mom! Wake up, Xiaoyu can¡¯t rece Siyu and live as her for the rest of her life!¡± Mrs. Liu could not calm herself down. She only knew that her daughter was about to be taken away by someone else. The family of three, who had always been harmonious, almost quarreled in the study room. In the end, Mr. Liu asked his son to leave the study room, leaving only him and his wife. The next day, Ji Lingchen sent his wife to school and happened to run into Mrs. Liu, who was dropping her daughter off. ¡°Mrs. Liu,¡± Fang Xiaonuan greeted her warmly when she saw her. When Ji Lingchen saw Mrs. Liu, whom he had always wanted to meet, he said to his little wife, ¡°Xiaonuan, you can go to ss.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was a little worried. She saw that Mrs. Liu¡¯s eyes were a little puffy, and Liu Siyu, who was in the ssroom, was also looking in their direction. ¡°Xiaonuan, you don¡¯t need to leave.¡± Mrs. Liu wanted Fang Xiaonuan to stay. ¡°Madam, this concerns adults. Let¡¯s not involve the child.¡± He looked at his wife and motioned for her to go in. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m¡­¡± ¡°Go in and focus on your lessons. This isn¡¯t something a child should be involved in.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a child.¡± Fang Xiaonuan walked to her husband¡¯s side and held his arm, not wanting to leave. He treated her like an adult in bed at night and treated her like a child during the day. She felt that her husband had a double standard! ¡°Go in and apany Xiaoyu.¡± Ji Lingchen tried to trick his wife. Fang Xiaonuan turned around and handed this difficult task to her nephew. ¡°Xiaowen, go in and apany Xiaoyu.¡± Ji Wen scratched his head. It was better to go in first. In the ssroom, Ji Wen sat down next to Liu Siyu and asked, ¡°Siyu, what¡¯s up with you these days?¡± Liu Siyu replied listlessly, ¡°Nothing much.¡± ¡°Is there a problem with your mother¡¯spany?¡± Ji Wen asked. Mrs. Liu¡¯s expression just now was very sour. Something big must have happened to the Liu family. Ji Wen felt that it should be something rted to thepany. Otherwise, she would not have asked his uncle for help. Moreover, many people in the business world knew that CEO Ji respected his young wife¡¯s words very much. Therefore, Mrs. Liu probably kept Fang Xiaonuan behind so that she could get Ji Lingchen to help out on ount of the friendship between Liu Siyu and Fang Xiaonuan. Liu Siyu had been in low spirits recently. Perhaps she was too worried about her mother, but she was too embarrassed to tell her friends. Ji Wen felt that everything made sense. He had deduced everything based on some clues. He was simply a deductive genius! ¡°Siyu, don¡¯t worry. Your family¡¯spany will be fine. I believe in your mom. Besides, Fang Xiaonuan will surely help your mom,¡± Ji Wen said. Liu Siyu looked at Ji Wen, who was confident and determined. She was speechless. What was he thinking? Outside, Ji Lingchen could not persuade Fang Xiaonuan to go, so he could only help her skip ss. He brought her to a cafe so they could have a chat with Mrs. Liu. It was morning, so many people were at the cafe to buy coffee. Apart from students, there were also nearby office workers. Chapter 291 - 291 Free Transfer 291 Free Transfer The three of them sat facing each other. Mrs. Liu was silent, but she suddenly got up and tried to kneel down in front of Ji Lingchen. ¡°Mrs. Liu, what are you doing?¡± Fang Xiaonuan cried out in shock and quickly went over to help her up. There were a lot of people in the shop. When Mrs. Liu knelt down, many people looked over. Mrs. Liu cried and begged Ji Lingchen, ¡°CEO Ji, I¡¯m begging you. Don¡¯t take my daughter away.¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s face was cold. If it wasn¡¯t for the Liu family¡¯s kindness to his sister, he would not have forgiven them for taking her. ¡°Madame, it was the Liu family who took my sister away for 15 years,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Mrs. Liu continued to cry. ¡°CEO Ji, I don¡¯t want Yanyu Corporation anymore. I¡¯ll give it to you, okay? I just beg you not to take my daughter away.¡± After she finished speaking, she took out apany resale agreement from her bag. She had already drafted the contents of the agreement. The agreement said that she would transfer thepany to the Ji Corporation for free. ¡°CEO Ji, I¡¯ll give you thepany. Could you let Xiaoyu stay with us? She¡¯s my life. I can¡¯t lose her!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was affected by Mrs. Liu¡¯s emotions and started to cry as well. Back then, her parents would rather offend the Ji family than let her marry Ji Lingchen, whom they had never met before. This reminded her of strong parental love. Today, Mrs. Liu was willing to give the Yanyu Corporation she had founded to Ji Lingchen free of charge. This was also a sign of her love for Xiaoyu. Mrs. Liu really regarded Xiaoyu as more important than her own life. She was willing to give up everything for her. Fang Xiaonuan pulled out a few tissues and sat down beside Mrs. Liu, helping her wipe her tears. ¡°Mrs. Liu, Xiaoyu was lucky to meet you.¡± Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu started to beg Fang Xiaonuan again. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you know how much I love Xiaoyu? Can you help me?¡± ¡°Mrs. Liu, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t help you.¡± Fang Xiaonuan looked into Mrs. Liu¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Mrs. Liu, you¡¯re only looking at how much you and Mr. Liu have sacrificed for Xiaoyu. You two lived happily for 15 years, but you took away my husband¡¯s right to have a happy family. My husband has been looking for her for 15 years, from 13 to 28. My mother-inw fell sick from longing and passed away a long time ago. Do you know that my husband has been carrying this on his back for so many years? The endless guilt, self-me, and remorse¡­ The Ji family could¡¯ve been as warm and harmonious as your family, but because Xiaoyu and my mother-inw are no longer around, the Ji family fell apart.¡± ¡°My husband lost his mother, his home, and his sister when he was thirteen. Looking for his sister has kept him going all this time. You can¡¯t just think about your own happiness and make my husband give up his family¡¯s happiness. That¡¯s not fair.¡± Fang Xiaonuan wiped her tears dry and ced the contract back into Mrs. Liu¡¯s bag. ¡°Mrs. Liu, you see Xiaoyu as more important than your own life, but my husband is no different. Everyone in the Ji family is waiting for Xiaoyu toe home. She¡¯s part of their family.¡± ¡°Can you understand how they feel? Mrs. Liu, my husband was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to ept it, so he had already given in and made sure you had a month to do so. He¡¯s not a saint, so there¡¯s no reason for him to always consider your feelings, right? Don¡¯t force his hand. We, the Ji family, will never give up on Xiaoyu!¡± She was talking on behalf the Ji family. This was enough to make her stance clear. Mrs. Liu covered her face and cried. The originally elegant female CEO was now the most helpless woman. Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, who would always support him, and felt touched. There were many things that he could not say, but his little wife, who understood him, said them for him. At this moment, his heart waspletely full. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°Mrs. Liu, Xiaoyu and I have been friends for many years. Our rtionship is very strong. When I first found out about this, I was as worried as you were that Xiaoyu would lose her happy family. I even quarreled with my husband and lost my temper. At that time, I didn¡¯t even think about my husband, nor did I think about the Ji family.¡± ¡°But the truth is that your family¡¯s current happiness is built on the Ji family¡¯s pain. There¡¯s no reason for the Ji family to suffer in order to fulfill your happiness. Xiaoyu is already an adult, and she has the right to know about this. After knowing, everything will be up to her. If we really love her, we should respect her choice.¡± Fang Xiaonuan had listened to her husband¡¯s instructions. For the past month, she had held back and not told Liu Siyu. She had done so to give the Liu family time to ept the truth. She had not even told Xiaowen. What the Liu family was most worried about was that Mrs. Liu would not be able to take it after she found out the truth. Now that she knew, there was no need to hide it anymore. Chapter 292 - 292 Visiting the Ji Family 292 Visiting the Ji Family After a while, Liu Siyan arrived. Ji Lingchen had informed him of their meeting. He wanted to take his mother away as soon as he arrived. Mrs. Liu also understood the Ji family¡¯s intentions, so she did not need to continue persuading them. She could understand Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s points, but she could not help but be selfish. It was human nature. No one would dare to say that they were absolutely selfless. Liu Siyan came to pick Mrs. Liu up. The couple were the only ones left in the cafe. Fang Xiaonuan felt stifled. She picked up the ss of water on the table and finished it in one gulp. ¡°Hubby, do you think Xiaoyu will hate me?¡± She was the one who had personally verified her identity. If she had not insisted on doing a paternity test, she might have been able to live happily in the Liu family for a longer period of time. ¡°Do you regret it?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She took a tissue, wiped her tears, and blew her nose. But even in her current state, her husband still thought she looked cute. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°If I were Liu Siyu, I might not be able to ept it. But if I don¡¯t learn the truth, I¡¯ll regret it for the rest of my life.¡± Ji Lingchen paid the bill and left with his little wife, whose eyes were red from crying. At Jing University, Liu Siyu was not in the mood to be in ss. She asked Ji Wen, ¡°Ji Wen, can I visit your house today?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that my parents will think of you as my girlfriend?¡± Ji Wen asked, looking silly. Liu Siyu looked at Ji Wen, who was not very smart. He was not stupid at critical moments, but sometimes, he really seemed dumb. ¡°Can¡¯t I just say that I¡¯m Xiaonuan¡¯s friend? ¡± Ji Wen saw that Liu Siyu was a little impatient and quickly agreed. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll take you to my house after school.¡± Fang Xiaonuan skipped ss for the day and followed her husband to the office. When she returned home that night, she realized that there was an unexpected guest in the house. ¡°Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°I just got here not too long ago. You didn¡¯t even do anything today at¡­¡± ¡°Ah, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. It¡¯s good.¡± Fang Xiaonuan quickly interrupted Liu Siyu. If her family found out that she had skipped ss, they would lecture her. Old Master Ji looked at the little girl in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity. ¡°Xiaoyu, I¡¯ve always heard my Xiaonuan mention you. She says that you two are best friends.¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s eyes teared up when she saw him. In the shadow of a memory she had of him, he did not seem this old. He should have ck hair. Every day after work, he would hug a little girl in a princess dress, kiss her little face, and say with a smile, ¡°Did Xiaoyu miss Daddy today?¡± The little girl would reply with a smile and say, ¡°I did.¡± He would smile even more happily, and then he would tilt his head and say, ¡°If you miss me, why don¡¯t you give Daddy a kiss?¡± The little girl kissed his cheek, then picked up her toys and started ying in the living room. ¡°Child, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Feng Qi noticed Liu Siyu¡¯s unusual behavior and quickly handed her a tissue. Liu Siyu wiped her tears and said in a nasal voice, ¡°It¡¯s been too cold recently. I have rhinitis and the wind is strong. I¡¯m sorry. It got into my eyes.¡± She looked at Feng Qi with tears in her eyes. ¡°Xiaonuan, I¡¯m here to y with you today.¡± Then, she walked to her friend¡¯s side and held her hand. ¡°Show me around your house.¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt that there was something different about Liu Siyu, and she was not used to it. She even felt that the person before her was not Liu Siyu at all. She turned to look at her husband, and Ji Lingchen nodded at her. Fang Xiaonuan brought Liu Siyu out of the living room. The Ji family had lived here for generations, and there was a spacious green area in the backyard. Liu Siyu¡¯s childhood memories ovepped with the scene in front of her. She seemed to see a checkered nket on thewn, and she and a little boy were each holding a shovel and ying with soil. There were two women with gentle expressions standing beside them, and not far away, her brother stood like a little knight. ¡°Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you¡¯re distracted again,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Liu Siyu was stunned for a moment. She came back to her senses and walked on the strange yet familiarwn. The man by the window had been watching the two of them, and he had some doubts in his heart. Ji Wen also walked to the window and asked, ¡°Uncle, you really have a special liking for this window.¡± Back then, when he had been ying with Fang Xiaonuan in the courtyard, his uncle had been standing here and watching them too. Now that Fang Xiaonuan had gone out for a walk with someone else, his uncle was back here, watching. ¡°You were the one who brought Liu Siyu to our house?¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly asked. ¡°No.¡± Ji Wen shook his head. ¡°She wanted toe.¡± Ji Lingchen frowned. In the evening, the Ji family invited Liu Siyu to join them for dinner, but she refused. After a while, Liu Siyan came to pick her up. Chapter 293 - 293 Found Xiaoyu 293 Found Xiaoyu Old Master Ji had a good memory. He pointed at Liu Siyan and said, ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this the police captain who insisted on arresting Xiaonuan when she got into a fight?¡± Liu Siyan nodded awkwardly, then introduced himself to Old Master Ji, ¡°Hello, Old Master Ji. I¡¯m Liu Siyan, Siyu¡¯s older brother.¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you.¡± Old Master Ji looked at the young man in front of him. He admired the young man¡¯s fearlessness and the sense of justice he exuded. After picking up Liu Siyu, the two of them drove away. ¡°I really like Siyu,¡± Old Master Ji said suddenly. ¡°It would be nice if she could be Ji Wen¡¯s wife!¡± ¡°Dad, no way!¡± She was his daughter! Old Master Ji turned to look at Fang Xiaonuan in confusion. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Siyu already has a partner?¡± Ji Lingchen had been frowning ever since he saw Liu Siyu. Now, he ordered his father, ¡°Dad,e to my study.¡± Old Master Ji raised his head arrogantly with an expression that said, ¡°I¡¯m not going. What can you do to me?¡± ¡°Dad!¡± Fang Xiaonuan nudged Old Master Ji. ¡°Go on.¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°I¡¯m not going. I don¡¯t care about his temper. Hey, hey, hey. Xiaonuan, don¡¯t push me.¡± Ji Lingchen nced at Mayor Ji, who was sitting on the sofa. ¡°Big brother,e over here for a moment.¡± Mayor Ji was very cooperative and followed him. The three of them went into the study. The more Old Master Ji looked at Ji Lingchen, the more he disliked him. As a son, he always ordered his father around. If one didn¡¯t know better, they would think that he was his son! Old Master Ji said, ¡°If you have something to say, then say it. I¡¯m so annoyed!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve found Xiaoyu,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Mayor Ji was shocked at first, but then he calmed down. Every time he had heard this, he would end up disappointed. ¡°Where is she this time?¡± ¡°In front of me.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his father and brother and said, ¡°She was here today.¡± ¡°Lingchen, you mean here at our house?¡± Mayor Ji asked, puzzled. ¡°There¡¯s no one,¡± Old Master Ji replied. ¡°The only one who is the same age as Xiaoyu is your wife, Xiaonuan. It can¡¯t be her.¡± After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes at his second son. He only knew how to talk nonsense. ¡°You¡¯ve already met her today,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Lingchen, could you have been scammed?¡± Mayor Ji asked. Their sister was clearly dead. Old Master Ji had long given up on finding his daughter. Ji Lingchen finally could not suppress the excitement in his heart. ¡°It¡¯s Liu Siyu. She¡¯s Xiaoyu. She¡¯s not the Liu family¡¯s biological daughter, but a child they picked up. The real Liu Siyu died a long time ago, and our Xiaoyu has been living as Liu Siyu!¡± Old Master Ji thought about Liu Siyu, who he had seen today, and looked at his emotional son. ¡°Did you do a DNA test? Is there a bite scar on her arm?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Dad, I ordered the DNA test. I saw the bite scar as well. It does exist.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan?¡± Mayor Ji and Old Master Ji were stunned when they saw Fang Xiaonuan suddenly walk in. Fang Xiaonuan had been eavesdropping outside the study, and she was the only one who could testify to the bite marks. The atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense. Old Master Ji did not argue with his son. He sat up straight and looked at the couple. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Mayor Ji also recalled the first time he saw Liu Siyu. At first sight, he thought that the girl was very pleasing to the eye. The study was unusually quiet. Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji were waiting for the two to give them an exnation. ¡­ Meanwhile, in the car. After Liu Siyan picked up Liu Siyu, they did not go straight home. Instead, he drove down a quiet road. It was already winter, so there were fewer cars on this road. asionally, a car would drive by. Liu Siyan stopped the car by the road and turned to look at his sister. ¡°Xiaoyu, when did you find out?¡± ¡°Brother, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand,¡± Liu Siyu said. Liu Siyan said, ¡°I¡¯m not your real brother. Ji Lingchen is. You¡¯re not rted to us by blood. You¡¯re¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Liu Siyu suddenly shouted at Liu Siyan. She did not want to hear it. She wanted to pretend that she did not know anything. Liu Siyan sighed and continued, ¡°We found you at the beach. You¡¯re a child of the Ji family.¡± ¡°Shut up, brother, shut up! Don¡¯t say anymore!¡± Liu Siyu broke down and cried in the car. She reached out and covered Liu Siyan¡¯s mouth, not letting him continue to say things she did not want to hear. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t say anymore. I¡¯m your sister, not a member of the Ji family!¡± Liu Siyu spoke through her sobs. She could not ept her real identity at all. Chapter 294 - 294 Leaving Jing City 294 Leaving Jing City Liu Siyan¡¯s eyes were also red. He turned off the lights in the car to better hide his tears. ¡°Did you remember it after you fell into the pool?¡± Liu Siyu covered her ears and shouted, ¡°Brother, please stop talking. I don¡¯t want to be someone else¡¯s child. I¡¯m your sister!¡± Liu Siyan pulled his crying sister into his arms and patted her shoulder. ¡°I can¡¯t bear to leave you either, but I can¡¯t hide it from you. I want to hide you so badly and let you be my sister for the rest of my life.¡± However, he could not hide anymore. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m so scared.¡± Liu Siyu cried in Liu Siyan¡¯s arms. She was afraid of such a big change. She had been pampered by her family since she was young and had never experienced any hardships. How could she ept the fact that she suddenly found out her identity when she was twenty? No matter how good the Ji family was, it was not as good as the Liu family she had lived in for fifteen years. !! Liu Siyan¡¯s tears fell on his sister¡¯s clothes. He consoled her, ¡°Xiaoyu, don¡¯t be afraid. Whether you are Liu Siyu or Ji Xiaoyu, you will always be my sister. I will always protect you and be by your side. Dad and Mom will love you forever. We will be a family for life.¡± The brother and sister stayed outside for two hours before returning home. As soon as they entered the house, they heard Mrs. Liu going out to look for her daughter like crazy. ¡°No, the Ji family can¡¯t take my daughter away from me. Hubby, quit your job. We¡¯ll leave Jing City!¡± Mr. Liu held his wife, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. ¡°Honey, Xiaoyu left a long time ago. We took the Ji family¡¯s daughter away!¡± Mrs. Liu burst into tears. The contract that stated she would give herpany away for free was still on the coffee table. Liu Siyu walked into the living room step by step. She pursed her lips and cried again, ¡°Mom, Dad, you already know?¡± ¡°Siyu, you¡¯re back,¡± Mrs. Liu said as he looked at his daughter, whose eyes were red and swollen. ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯ve already told Xiaoyu,¡± Liu Siyan said to his parents. Mrs. Liu pushed her husband away and ran to her daughter. She held her hand and said, ¡°Siyu, you¡¯re a great kid. You¡¯re my child, so don¡¯t go to the Ji family. Let¡¯s leave Jing City as a family, okay? I don¡¯t want mypany anymore, and your dad has resigned. Let¡¯s go together!¡± Liu Siyu broke down again. ¡°Mom!¡± she shouted. Then, she cried and hugged her mother. The Liu family had a sleepless night, and the Ji family was not peaceful either. The couple told Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji everything from how they found out about Xiaoyu to how they confirmed her identity. ¡°That b*stard!¡± Old Master Ji was furious. ¡°How dare he lie to me!¡± He clenched his fists tightly and red. He gritted his teeth so hard that his eyes bulged. He wished he could chew up the person who lied to him and spit him out. His daughter was not dead! ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Old Master Ji asked. ¡°There are many things that we haven¡¯t investigated,¡± Ji Lingchen exined. ¡°And now?¡± Old Master Ji was alert now. Ji Lingchen looked at his father and coldly asked, ¡°Why did you go to the police station to close the case less than a month after Xiaoyu went missing?¡± When the Liu family first found Xiaoyu, they went to the police station to ask about her, but they did not find any information about her. Ji Lingchen did not believe it at first, but after some investigation, he found out that his father had closed the case less than a month after his sister¡¯s disappearance. He had also suspected that someone had secretly instructed him to do so, but in the end, it was confirmed that his father had personally handled the case. Why did he do that? ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to look for your daughter?¡± Ji Lingchen wanted his father to give him an exnation. ¡°Dad, you know what? If the Liu family had gone to the police station and found Xiaoyu among the missing people, we would have found Xiaoyu back then and not missed out on 15 years. Why did you send someone to look for Xiaoyu, and at the same time, close the case?¡± Hearing this, Old Master Ji was stunned. He had closed the case early, and that made him miss 15 years of his daughter¡¯s life! There was regret in his cloudy eyes. ¡°Lingchen, the reason why I went to close the case was because I had already found ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯.¡± Old Master Ji remembered that the child who had died a tragic death back then was his daughter! Her height, body shape, and even the shoes she was wearing all matched those of his daughter. The test results from the forensic doctor also confirmed that she was his daughter. That was why he dropped the case, because there was no need to trouble the police. Who would have thought that after the case was closed, the Liu family would bring Xiaoyu to the police station? After the case was closed, Old Master Ji wanted to tell his sons the truth. He wanted to say that it was impossible to find Xiaoyu, but his two sons continued searching for her like crazy. Old Master Ji had no choice but to pretend that he was still looking for his daughter in order to give his two sons something to live for. In the end, his wife left them as well. Chapter 295 - 295 Missing 295 Missing Old Master Ji told Ji Lingchen everything that had happened that year. Fang Xiaonuan, however, was confused. She asked doubtfully, ¡°Dad, since the kidnappers had already kidnapped my husband and Xiaoyu, why would they have killed Xiaoyu and let my husband go? If I were the kidnapper, I would have released both of them or killed them both since I¡¯d already kidnapped two people. Why would I kill one and let the other go?¡± Old Master Ji was also very puzzled. ¡°And that forensic doctor,¡± Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°Logically speaking, the doctor¡¯s test report can¡¯t be wrong. The child who died was obviously not your biological daughter, so why did the results say she was?¡± !! ¡°Tomorrow, investigate the forensic doctor who examined your sister,¡± Old Master Ji told his eldest son. If Fang Xiaonuan noticed this, her husband would, of course, pick up on it as well. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°By the way, dad, there¡¯s another key question. Xiaoyu is clearly still alive. How did the fake ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯ you met back then manage to be someone who is so simr to Xiaoyu in terms of height, build, and clothing?¡± When she finished speaking, she was shocked by the direction of her own thoughts. Was this orchestrated by someone close to them? ¡°Lingchen,¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°Come with me to see the Lin family tomorrow. There are some old scores that we should settle with them!¡± The Lin family? Fang Xiaonuan looked at her husband. Before she could ask him if Old Master Ji meant Lin Rou¡¯s family, Ji Lingchen nodded, confirming her suspicions. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you guys,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. She wanted to be present if they were meeting a girl who fancied her husband. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number, so she answered it. ¡°Hello, who¡¯s this?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, did Xiaoyu go to your ce?¡± It was Liu Siyan on the phone. ¡°Liu Siyan, what happened to Xiaoyu?¡± ¡°Xiaoyu is missing,¡± Liu Siyan said nervously. Liu Siyu had coaxed her mother into her room and given her a tranquilizer. After she fell asleep, she disappeared from the house and turned off her phone. Fang Xiaonuan immediately jumped up from the sofa. ¡°How long has she been missing?¡± The Ji family¡¯s father and sons looked at Fang Xiaonuan at the same time. Ji Lingchen also stood up, ¡°Xiaonuan¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan interrupted her husband and continued to listen to the call. ¡°Hello¡­ I understand. I¡¯ll go out with my family to look for Xiaoyu immediately. Brother Liu, don¡¯t worry too much. Xiaoyu is very smart. She won¡¯t go to dangerous ces. She probably just can¡¯t ept her identity at the moment and doesn¡¯t know what to do. She needs some time to think about it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan suppressed the anxiety she felt. She forced herself to calm down andfort the anxious Liu family members. This was not the time to be flustered or let their thoughts run wild. That would not help them find Xiaoyu. ¡°Let¡¯s keep in touch.¡± After Fang Xiaonuan hung up, she said to the three of them, ¡°Xiaoyu is missing. Dad, Brother, hubby, don¡¯t worry. Xiaoyu didn¡¯t run away from home or do anything dangerous. She just needs some time to calm down.¡± ¡°On the way out of our house today, Brother Liu told her about her past. Actually, Xiaoyu started to remember something after she fell into the pool. She came here today to verify her memories.¡± Old Master Ji recalled how his daughter had looked at him with tears in her eyes, but had said that she had rhinitis and that dust had gotten into her eyes. ¡°Kangde, contact Chief Qiu immediately and look for Xiaoyu. Lingchen, mobilize all of the Ji family¡¯s people and have them split up to search.¡± Old Master Ji turned to his daughter-inw. ¡°Xiaonuan, we can give Xiaoyu some time alone, but it¡¯s toote now. It¡¯s not safe for her to be outside alone.¡± Fang Xiaonuan could understand how Old Master Ji felt. She wanted to help her family look for her too. ¡°I¡¯ll look for her with Xiaowen. Dad, don¡¯t go out. It¡¯s too hectic outside.¡± ¡°No! This time, I must find my daughter!¡± Old Master Ji refused without hesitation. Fang Xiaonuan did not stop Old Master Ji. She was just as worried as the Ji family and Liu family. Liu Siyu had been her good friend for many years, like a real sister. When she said that she was not worried, she was onlyforting others and herself at the same time. In fact, she was more anxious than anyone else. Fang Xiaonuan ran to Ji Wen¡¯s room and pulled him out. He had been lying down and ying with his phone. ¡°Xiaoyu is missing. Let¡¯s go find her.¡± ¡°What happened to her?¡± Ji Wen still did not realize the seriousness of the matter and was still ying with his phone. Fang Xiaonuan smacked the back of his head. ¡°Liu Siyu is your aunt. She¡¯s missing!¡± ¡°What?¡± Ji Wen threw his phone on the bed and looked at Fang Xiaonuan in confusion. Chapter 296 - 296 My Aunt 296 My Aunt Two minutester, Ji Wen put on a cotton-padded jacket over his pajamas and drove Fang Xiaonuan out to look for Liu Siyu. On the way, Fang Xiaonuan told Ji Wen everything that had happened recently. Ji Wen¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. ¡°This is too magical. I must be dreaming!¡± With that, he held the steering wheel with one hand and pinched his thigh with the other. ¡°F*ck! It really f*cking hurts!¡± He was not dreaming! Fang Xiaonuan took out her phone and looked at the map, zooming in and out. She looked at the map of Jing City, trying to guess where Liu Siyu might have gone. The police were also looking for records of Liu Siyu¡¯s activity, but if she wanted to be alone, she would avoid anything her brother could use to track her. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, say it again. Is Liu Siyu really my biological aunt who has been missing for fifteen years?¡± Ji Wen asked weakly. ¡°Mm, yes!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Ji Wen gradually lost control. He mmed the steering wheel hard. ¡°This must be fake!¡± He only had two best friends for so many years, but in the end, they both were his aunts! How could such a coincidence ur? ¡°It¡¯s true. I used your hair for the DNA test,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°When did you steal my hair?¡± Ji Wen roared. Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°When you were hospitalized. Ugh, let¡¯s not dwell on these meaningless things now. The most important thing is to find Xiaoyu as soon as possible. She¡¯ll be finished if she runs into the wrong crowd right now!¡± Ji Wen also stepped on the elerator and followed Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s directions. Every time they arrived at a ce, Fang Xiaonuan would remind Ji Wen, ¡°Stay in the car and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± After saying that, she turned on the shlight function on her phone and walked into the dark alley. ¡°Why don¡¯t I go with you?¡± Ji Wen asked. ¡°You better stay in the car obediently,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°I don¡¯t want to have to take the time to protect you if we¡¯re really in danger!¡± Ji Wen wanted to refute her, but what she said made sense. With his skills, he would only cause trouble for her if something really happened. Five minutester, Fang Xiaonuan returned. ¡°No, let¡¯s go to the next ce.¡± Ji Wen continued to drive, while Fang Xiaonuan was responsible for getting out of the car to look for her. She was skilled in martial arts, so she did not have to worry. Just like that, the two of them searched Jing City for a whole hour. Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize how difficult it was to find someone who was intent on remaining hidden. ¡°Xiaoyu¡¯s sense of self-preservation is still very strong. She will not put herself in danger,¡± Ji Wen said to Fang Xiaonuan. Of course, Fang Xiaonuan knew that. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to pass up dangerous ces. What if Xiaoyu is really there and we just happen to miss her?¡± she said. Ji Wen knew what Fang Xiaonuan meant, so he did not say anything more and continued to y the role of a good driver. On the way, Ji Lingchen called. ¡°Xiaonuan, one of the surveince cameras caught Xiaoyu walking in the direction of Fengyang District.¡± Fengyang District? Fengyang Lake! ¡°I know where she is!¡± Fang Xiaonuan suddenly recalled a ce that Liu Siyu had often mentioned to her. ¡°Xiaowen, drive to Fengyang Lake!¡± Ji Wen also thought of something. He immediately turned around and headed toward Fengyang District. Fengyang District was originally a county under Jing City, but after the city expanded, it became a district of Jing city. Liu Siyu had once seen the school¡¯s brochure and said that the scenery there was not bad. She really wanted to go and see it. It was clearly in Jing City, but the three of them had never been there. Now, she might have gone alone. Ji Wen followed the navigation instructions as he drove. In the end, he drove through a small country road and finally arrived at Fengyang Lake. Fang Xiaonuan alighted from the car with her phone and shone it around her, shouting, ¡°Xiaoyu!¡± ¡°Xiaoyu!¡± Ji Wen also shouted. Their shouts woke up the fish in theke and the worms in the grass, but they did not get any response. Fang Xiaonuan followed her instincts and walked along thekeside, shouting as she walked, ¡°Xiaoyu, where are you?¡± Ji Wen took out his phone and shone it around to see if Liu Siyu was in the tall grass. It waste and no one was here. By theke, just the two of them were there shouting ¡°Xiaoyu!¡± The ground around theke was soaked. As the two walked along thekeside, the wet and sticky mud stuck to their shoes, and they could no longer move. Fang Xiaonuan found arge rock and sat on it. She casually wiped the mud off the soles of her shoes with a leaf and continued walking. The surface of theke was very calm. After walking for a long time, they suddenly heard a response. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen looked at each other. That voice was Liu Siyu¡¯s! The two of them were overjoyed and quickly went forward. Chapter 297 - 297 Calling to Tell Him That She Was Safe 297 Calling to Tell Him That She Was Safe After walking for a while, they finally saw Liu Siyu sitting on a big rock. She rested her chin on her hands and said gloomily, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you two to find me all the way out here.¡± The moment Fang Xiaonuan saw her, her heart finally felt at ease again. ¡°Siyu, you almost scared us to death!¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°I just wanted to be alone.¡± She felt conflicted and did not know how to face this. She hugged herself tightly and looked at the calmke. ¡°Xiaonuan, call my brother and pass me the phone. I¡¯ll let my brother know that I¡¯m safe.¡± Fang Xiaonuan passed the phone over and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your phone?¡± Liu Siyu said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t even mention it. Apple phones be stupid when they freeze. They can¡¯t be turned on when it¡¯s cold. It¡¯s so frustrating!¡± She had been so angry that she almost smashed her phone. She had originally wanted to go to Fengyang Lake first and then let her family know that she was safe. However, she did not expect that her phone would freeze when she got here. She wanted to leave, but she could not. There were no taxis here, so she could not get a ride back. She had no choice but to put her phone in her arms to warm it up so she could turn it on. Liu Siyu took Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s phone and dialed Liu Siyan¡¯s number easily. ¡°Xiaonuan!¡± Liu Siyan answered the call immediately. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you have any news about Xiaoyu? ¡± ¡°Brother, it¡¯s me,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°Liu Siyu! Where did you go? Are you trying to scare me to death? Dad was so scared that his blood pressure went up, and mom is about to lose her mind!¡± Liu Siyan could not help but shout at his sister. Liu Siyu said, ¡°My phone is useless. I just wanted to sneak out. I wanted to contact you when I got here, but my phone got too cold and turned off. I couldn¡¯t contact you.¡± She did not mean to make her family anxious. Liu Siyan could tell that his sister had not taken anything. He stopped the car. He was clearly angry, but his words made Liu Siyu feel love. ¡°Throw your phone away. I¡¯ll buy you a new one when youe back. This time, we¡¯ll buy one that¡¯s resistant to the cold, okay? ¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Liu Siyu replied, sobbing. Liu Siyan knew that she was safe, and he could finally rx. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, where are you now? I¡¯ll go pick you up.¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, don¡¯te over. Let me be alone. Can you do that?¡± Liu Siyan respected his sister¡¯s wishes and hung up the phone. Liu Siyu returned the phone to Fang Xiaonuan. This time, Fang Xiaonuan did not take it back, but asked, ¡°Xiaoyu, are you willing to call my husband to let him know that you¡¯re safe?¡± Liu Siyu was taken aback. Fang Xiaonuan did not force her, and she reached out to take back her phone. But Liu Siyu did not hand it back immediately. She was subconsciously unwilling to give it back. ¡°When did you find out that I¡¯m Ji Xiaoyu?¡± Liu Siyu asked. ¡°That day in the ssroom, I found out that you sprained your ankle. When I asked you, you mentioned removing a scar. After that, I took you to the hospital to see Ji Wen, and then I stole your hair to do a DNA test. I¡¯m sorry, Xiaoyu. Actually, when I went to your house to see your childhood photos, I already suspected your identity.¡± Liu Siyu took some time to think about it. She actually had not noticed that at all. Ji Wen squatted by theke and scratched his head in frustration. His brows were furrowed. ¡°Is Liu Siyu really my aunt?¡± Liu Siyu looked at her silly nephew. No wonder she liked him the moment she saw him. It was because they were rted by blood. Liu Siyu said lightly, ¡°When you were young, you drank all the green tea and secretly peed in the bottle. Then, you tried to trick your grandfather into drinking it. In the end, you were beaten by your uncle, and your butt was so swollen that you could only sleep on your stomach. From then on, you never dared to pee in a drink bottle again.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Only those in the Ji family know about this!¡± ¡°Actually,¡± Liu Siyu continued, ¡°I exposed you, and that¡¯s why you were beaten.¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°F*ck! So, it was you who betrayed me! You were the one who asked me to give the urine bottle to Grandpa!¡± ¡°My dad,¡± Liu Siyu replied. This incident was enough to prove Liu Siyu¡¯s identity. Liu Siyu said, ¡°And when you were in your kindergarten years, you slept in a lot and always tried to avoid going. You pretended to have a fever and put the thermometer in warm water. Your mom saw that you had a fever of 42 degrees, but when she touched your head, she realized that it was not hot at all. In the end, your parents handed you over to my brother.¡± ¡°And then?¡± Fang Xiaonuan listened with great interest, especially curious about the ending. She knew that Ji Wen was mischievous when he was young, but she did not know that he was this mischievous. No wonder she felt that he always deserved a beating. It turned out that he had been like this since he was young! Ji Wen¡¯s face turned red. ¡°Shut up! That¡¯s enough!¡± Chapter 298 - 298 A Phone Call with Her Brother 298 A Phone Call with Her Brother ¡°Hurry up and continue. Xiaoyu, I want to hear it.¡± Fang Xiaonuan went over and climbed onto the rock with Liu Siyu. ¡°After that, my brother took him to the ssroom with his nket and let him sleep on the desk. Then, Xiaowen performed a live performance and let the maids dress him up for ss. Since then, he never dared to pretend to be sick and skip ss again.¡± ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Fang Xiaonuanughed hysterically. ¡°Is there any more?¡± Liu Siyu also smiled. ¡°There are still many more stories, but¡­ my memory isn¡¯t that clear.¡± As she said this, there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes. Ji Wen squatted beside them and looked at the two girls. ¡°Both of you are my aunts now, but both of you belong to the same generation. How can I measure up?¡± Ji Wen already got shocked by the news on the way here, but when he saw Liu Siyu and heard her say these things, he still found it unbelievable. He had somehow be the nephew of his two good friends! He had encountered such an unlucky incident. This could happen to no one else! ¡°Xiaoyu, my grandfather said that he wanted you to be my girlfriend!¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°But my dad said I¡¯m not good enough for you,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°Big brother has good taste!¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°My mom likes you too,¡± Ji Wen said. ¡°Yeah, my sister-inw liked me a lot when I was little,¡± Liu Siyu said. Feng Qi had been there when her mother-inw gave birth to a daughter. She was soft, obedient, and especially cute. However, her own child was a naughty boy who yed with mud! Every time she saw Xiaoyu, she wanted to have a daughter too. At that time, she often pestered Mayor Ji to have a second child with her, and she almost went for artificial insemination. But in the end, her dream of having a daughter did note true. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s no wonder that sister-inw treated me better than Ji Wen after I married into the Ji family. Those who don¡¯t know would think that I¡¯m sister-inw¡¯s child and that Ji Wen was picked up!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°My mom likes girls. If you were a man, do you think she¡¯d care about you?¡± ¡°If I were a man, would your uncle marry me?¡± Ji Wen was speechless and fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu continued their conversation. Liu Siyu kept looking at theke and stayed quiet most of the time. She kept thinking about how her youngest brother protected her. ¡°Brother, I identally broke Daddy¡¯s cup,¡± she said. Ji Lingchen cleaned up the mess on the ground, then patted his sister¡¯s head. ¡°If you give me a kiss, I¡¯ll say that I was the one who broke it.¡± After she did that, Ji Lingchen took all the me. ¡°Brother, something bad has happened. I spilled Mommy¡¯s perfume.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, you have me!¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t like studying.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll study together, then I¡¯ll bring you out to y.¡± ¡°Brother, save me. I¡¯m so scared.¡± Later, in order to protect his sister, Ji Lingchen got beaten until he was covered in blood. However, he still refused to let go because he had to protect his sister. Afraid that she would not be able to find her brother after being taken away, Ji Xiaoyu bit her arm and endured the pain, leaving behind bite scars. However, after that, her memory was jumbled up and she mistook Liu Siyan for her brother. ¡°Xiaonuan, is he especially worried about me? ¡± Liu Siyu asked. ¡°He¡¯s been worried about you for 15 years,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Liu Siyu looked at the phone in her hand and stared at the number. Her mind was filled with how well he used to treat her. In the end, she still dialed Ji Lingchen¡¯s number. ¡°Hello, Xiaonuan, have you found Xiaoyu?¡± He picked up the call very quickly. Liu Siyu was at a loss for words. She was so scared that she could not say a word. ¡°Hello?¡± Ji Lingchen said. Liu Siyu opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her tears suddenly gushed out. At that moment, Ji Lingchen seemed to have realized something, and he fell silent too. After a while, Ji Lingchen asked, ¡°Xiaoyu, where are you?¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Brother, I-I¡¯m¡­¡± She was so excited that her whole body was trembling. When Ji Lingchen heard her call him ¡°Brother¡±, his heart ached. He shut his eyes tightly and looked up, not letting his tears fall. Fang Xiaonuan reached out to hug the girl beside her. After a while, Liu Siyu said, ¡°I¡¯m at Fengyang Lake.¡± When Ji Lingchen heard the location, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around so that no one could see him wiping away his tears with the back of his hand. After hanging up, Fang Xiaonuan consoled Liu Siyu. She asked, ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have a home,¡± Liu Siyu said. Chapter 299 - 299 Reuniting 299 Reuniting ¡°Nonsense,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°Your parents knew you weren¡¯t their daughter from the start. They¡¯ve always treated you like their own daughter. In order to keep you, Mrs. Liu even wanted to give Yanyu Corporation to Ji Lingchen for free. Because in their hearts, you¡¯re more important to them. How could you not have a home?¡± ¡°The Ji family has been looking for you for 15 years, and they¡¯ve been waiting for you toe home for 15 years. Besides, you still have me. Didn¡¯t you say that best friends are family who won¡¯t be separated throughout their lives?¡± ¡°Yeah, there¡¯s still me! What are you afraid of?¡± Ji Wen agreed. ¡°You have so many family members who love you. Your happiness is twice that of others. What do you have to be afraid of?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Liu Siyu said, ¡°But anyone would need some time to digest something like this, right?¡± They knew she needed time and that¡¯s why everyone was giving her that. Fang Xiaonuan put her arm around her friend¡¯s shoulder and looked into the distance. ¡°Xiaoyu,e back. The Ji family needs you.¡± Ji Wen looked at theke, silently worried about his life in the future. His uncle was already tough enough to deal with, and now there was the violent female warrior, Fang Xiaonuan. It seemed like God felt that his life was not exciting enough, so he gave him a biological aunt, and an aunt who had bullied him for many years. ¡°Aunt, can I move out?¡± Ji Wen asked. He felt that his status at home was even lower than that of a dog. ¡°In your dreams!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°Xiaonuan, how did Mom leave?¡± Liu Siyu asked. She remembered her mother as someone who always smiled at her gently. She always dressed her up in all kinds of pretty little dresses. Why was she not here? She did not even get to see her onest time. Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°A month after you went missing, Mom passed. Sister-inw told me that she was heartsick, and that there was no medicine that could cure it. But¡­ Dad told me today that she left because she saw your ¡®corpse¡¯ with her own eyes and it was too much for her.¡± Liu Siyu turned to look at her friend in surprise. Even though she could not see Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face clearly, she could tell that she was sad. ¡°So, my mom died because of me.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded her head solemnly. ¡°We¡¯ll only know the details after Dad and my husband go to the Lin family¡¯s house to confront them tomorrow. It¡¯splicated.¡± Liu Siyu lowered her head in disbelief. ¡°Why is it like this?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She had only just found out that such aplicated matter had happened in the Ji family. Of course, she was the daughter-inw of the Ji family, so she would definitely help sort these things out. Although her husband was already investigating, she could not just stand by and watch. ¡°Xiaoyu, do you still remember why you fell into the sea?¡± Before Liu Siyu could answer, Ji Wen suddenly interrupted, ¡°What? Xiaoyu, when did you fall into the sea?¡± He was now curious about everything he was hearing. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t remember either. I only remember seeing somebody there. The person said that I had to die. Then, they threw me into the sea.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was shocked, ¡°What? You were thrown into the sea?¡± Liu Siyu nodded. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s brows were tightly furrowed. Killed? ¡°Xiaoyu, can you still remember what that person looked like?¡± Liu Siyu shook her head. She had been young at that time. So many years had passed, and her memories had long faded. In addition, she had been too frightened, so many of her memories were jumbled up. Fang Xiaonuan did not feel disappointed. She said in relief, ¡°The Liu family saved you, and I¡¯ve found you. You¡¯re my sister-inw, and Ji Wen is our nephew.¡± Ji Wen looked at the calmke and forced himself to calm down. He felt like life was a y. He had to be calm. The three of them stayed by theke for a long time. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen apanied Liu Siyu and chatted with her to make her feel better. It was only when Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s phone was about to run out of battery that the three of them used their phones to light their way and walked back. However, when the three of them walked out of the muddykeside path, they were all shocked. Old Master Ji was walking toward them using his cane. When he saw the little girl he had been thinking about day and night, he held back his tears. Liu Siyu also saw her father, her eldest brother Ji Kangde, her second brother Ji Lingchen, her sister-inw Feng Qi, her parents, and her brother. Liu Siyu¡¯s disappearance made Mrs. Liu understand that there was no turning back. Mr. Liu consoled his wife for a long time and finally got her to ept their new reality. On the other hand, Liu Siyan received a call from Ji Lingchen. He told him to pick his sister up at Fengyang Lake. Liu Siyan even brought his worried parents with him. Chapter 300 - 300 The Most Difficult Choice 300 The Most Difficult Choice By theke, all of Liu Siyu¡¯s family members were standing there waiting for her. Fang Xiaonuan sensed her timidness, so she consoled her, ¡°Xiaoyu, stay strong. Everyone you see here loves you.¡± Liu Siyu finally mustered up the courage to walk over to Old Master Ji. Before she could say anything, tears streamed from her eyes. ¡°Dad!¡± The moment she opened her mouth, her face was covered in tears. Old Master Ji finally could not hold it in any longer, and his tears fell too. ¡°Xiaoyu, my child!¡± He finally managed to hold his younger daughter, and he was crying so hard that he could not speak. The heavens had yed a joke on him, but he was still lucky enough to find his daughter in this lifetime. !! Everyone in the Ji family was very excited, and tears welled up in their eyes. Only Ji Lingchen seemed to be relieved and he let her be. Under the moonlight, he turned and left, walking to the other side of the road. Then, he looked up at the sky tiredly. A huge weight was lifted off his chest. His wife¡¯s eyes were on him. Fang Xiaonuan also left the crowd and walked silently to her husband¡¯s side. She ced her small hand into her husband¡¯s palm. Ji Lingchen felt her soft hand in his. Ji Lingchen clenched his fist and turned to look at his little wife who hade to apany him. He pulled her into his arms. Fang Xiaonuan ¡°Hubby, I found Xiaoyu. From now on, I must be the top priority in your heart!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Ji Lingchen agreed. He did not tell his wife that she would always be his top priority for the rest of his life. On the first day of their reunion, Liu Siyu was faced with the most difficult decision in her life. Should she go back to the Ji family¡¯s home or the Liu family¡¯s home tonight? She had just reunited with her family, but she could not bear to see her mother, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, disappointed. Liu Siyan could see his sister¡¯s dilemma, so he took the initiative to step forward and say, ¡°Go back to the Ji family¡¯s house. You¡¯ve just reunited, so you must have a lot to talk about.¡± ¡°Brother,¡± Liu Siyu looked at him with gratitude. Liu Siyan saw the smile in his sister¡¯s eyes. He tried his best to suppress the sadness in his heart so that his sister could return to the Ji family with peace of mind. Mr. Liu was also a reasonable person. He did not want to put his daughter in a difficult position. ¡°Go, don¡¯t feel guilty. Our door is always open for you. You will always be my daughter.¡± Liu Siyu burst into tears again. She ran over and hugged him. ¡°Daddy.¡± Mr. Liu patted his daughter¡¯s back. ¡°You¡¯re already a big girl. Don¡¯t cry all the time. Finding your family is a happy asion.¡± Liu Siyu looked at her mother, whose hair was messy and whose eyes were red and swollen. She reached out to smooth her mother¡¯s hair down. ¡°Mom, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mrs. Liu wiped the tears from her face. When they parted, she hugged her daughter again. ¡°We have a lot of things to do tonight. You should go.¡± The Liu family did not want her to feel sad and guilty, so they gave in. In the end, Liu Siyu watched as the Liu family¡¯s car disappeared from sight, and then she got into the Ji family¡¯s car. Fang Xiaonuan left in the same car as her husband. She sat in the front passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and waited for her ¡°personal driver¡±. Feng Qi and her husband were also in the same car. Liu Siyu and Old Master Ji were in the same car. Ji Wen was the only one who was ignored by everyone in the cold winter and left alone. He hade with Fang Xiaonuan, but she had left with her husband. Ji Wen could only start the car by himself and slowly follow the other cars. When the three Liu family members arrived home, Mrs. Liu felt her daughter¡¯s absence. The huge vi was empty. She covered her face and cried in self-me, ¡°I¡¯m so selfish and evil. People like me deserve retribution!¡± ¡°Mom,¡± Liu Siyan consoled his mother, ¡°Xiaoyu wille back. Trust me.¡± Mr. Liu gave his parents a call. ¡°Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you. You should be prepared.¡± ¡­ Liu Siyu returned to the Ji family¡¯s residence although she had only left it not long ago. Ji Lingchen brought her to a room with their mother¡¯s memorial tablet and ck and white photo. Liu Siyu¡¯s tears gushed out again. She looked at her mother, who had been separated from her, and recalled her voice and smile. She offered incense to her mother and knelt in front of her mother¡¯s memorial tablet with Ji Lingchen. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ve brought Xiaoyu home.¡± ¡­ All the lights in the Ji residence were lit, and the whole family was very happy. Liu Siyu had just returned to the Ji family, and Feng Qi wanted to apany her. She turned to her husband and said, ¡°Hubby, it¡¯s Xiaoyu¡¯s first day at home, so she must be ufortable. I¡¯ll go apany her and chat with her.¡± She walked to Liu Siyu¡¯s room and knocked on the door. ¡°Xiaoyu, can Ie in? It¡¯s your sister-inw.¡± ¡°Sister-inw,e in,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°Why?¡± Ji Wenined in a low voice. ¡°You¡¯ve never been so polite when you entered my room.¡± Feng Qi pushed the door open and entered, ¡°Huh? Xiaonuan, Xiaowen, why are you both here?¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were both in their pajamas. Ji Wen was sitting on a stool, while Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu were sitting on the bed. ¡°Sister-inw,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°We¡¯re keeping Xiaoyupany because we were worried that she wouldn¡¯t be used to being home.¡± Chapter 301 - 301 The Benefits of Marrying CEO Ji 301 The Benefits of Marrying CEO Ji Feng Qi looked at the three of them. They probably did not need herpany. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, I¡¯ll go back to my room first. I was just here to see Xiaoyu.¡± Then, she pointed at Ji Wen and said, ¡°Your aunt can apany your other aunt. Go back to your room and sleep.¡± ¡°Mom, I also need time to ept these things,¡± Ji Wen said. !! Feng Qi could not understand. What did this have to do with her son? Why did he need time? Ji Wen looked at the friend he had known for nearly ten years. She had suddenly be his aunt. He was just as shocked as he was when he found out that Fang Xiaonuan had married his uncle. The most horrible thing was that the two of them were now calling him ¡°nephew¡±. Liu Siyu said, ¡°I used to call you my nephew. Now you¡¯re really my nephew.¡± Ji Wen was at a loss for words. Therefore, he needed some time to calm down. Fang Xiaonuan led Feng Qi away. She still had a lot of things that she needed Ji Wen to tell Liu Siyu. He was still of some use. When Feng Qi returned to her room, Mayor Ji asked, ¡°Why did youe back?¡± ¡°Xiaonuan and Ji Wen are with her. If I¡¯m there, it¡¯ll be awkward for them. It¡¯s better to let the young people hang out together.¡± That night, Ji Wen retold everything that had happened after Ji Xiaoyu had gone missing, ording to what he remembered. Fang Xiaonuan put in a good word for her husband, ¡°My husband went through a lot of hardship to look for you. Thest time he went on a business trip, he actually went to look for you.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Ji Wen added, ¡°In order to find you, my uncle even used marriage as a bargaining chip.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. She turned to look at Ji Wen and narrowed her eyes. ¡°borate!¡± Could it be that her marriage with her husband was a transaction? ¡°What?¡± Ji Wen asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t my uncle tell you?¡± He suddenly felt a little guilty. If he said too much, his uncle wouldn¡¯t beat him to death, right? ¡°Hurry up and tell me, how was his marriage a bargaining chip?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. ¡°Yeah, yeah,¡± Liu Siyu said. ¡°Tell me, what do you mean by ¡®for me¡¯?¡± Ji Wen swallowed, hesitating whether to say it or not. He was being interrogated by them, so he ended up telling the truth. ¡°My grandfather used information about you to trick my uncle into getting married. If he didn¡¯t get married, he would not get the information.¡± ¡°Before he met Fang Xiaonuan, my uncle had no intention of finding a girlfriend at all. He was consumed with finding you. So, in order to get information about you, he got married.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, after all this, I¡¯m actually your matchmaker!¡± Liu Siyu said, trying to tter herself. Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°You still have the cheek to say that? I¡¯ve even been jealous of you before. If my husband didn¡¯t say that ¡®Xiaoyu¡¯ is actually my sister-inw, I would¡¯ve thought he had an ex he couldn¡¯t get over. I would have chopped him up and fed him to the dogs!¡± Liu Siyu said, ¡°Thank God my brother is quick with his words!¡± It was quiet for a while. Fang Xiaonuan looked at her two good friends and suddenly said, ¡°Did you guys notice anything?¡± Her eyes flickered with a little excitement. ¡°What is it?¡± Liu Siyu and Ji Wen asked in unison. ¡°I am of a higher seniority than the both of you!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said proudly. Even if she was of the same generation as her best friend, she still had to call her ¡°Sister-inw, ¡± and Ji Wen had it worse. He became her nephew. Fang Xiaonuan suddenly felt that marrying Ji Lingchen was great. He had directly raised her seniority by quite a bit. ¡°I¡¯m going back to my roomter. I¡¯m going to give my husband a few good kisses!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡°Are you sure you cane back to my ce after kissing your husband?¡± The married Xiaonuan immediately understood what her friend meant, and the two of them looked at each other in silence. ¡°Sister-inw, I¡¯m really worried that your husband won¡¯t be able to stand you in the future.¡± The ¡°innocent¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°Two powerful females¡­ I¡¯m leaving.¡± Only the two best friends were left, so they did not joke around. Liu Siyu was lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling. ¡°Xiaonuan, if I choose to be Ji Xiaoyu, wouldn¡¯t it be too unfair to my parents?¡± Hearing her words, Fang Xiaonuan understood her concerns. In her heart, she wanted to be Ji Xiaoyu, but she was afraid that the Liu family would think that she had no conscience. After painstakingly raising her for 15 years, she ended up leaving them for her biological parents. ¡°If this happened to me, I¡¯d be worried that my parents, who have raised me for 15 years, would be sad. I¡¯d be worried that if I received the Ji family¡¯s love, my rtionship with the Liu family would fade.¡± ¡°However, Xiaoyu, as a bystander, I don¡¯t think Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu would think that way. They love you very much, and today, in order to not make you sad, they let you go back to the Ji family first. They really treat you like a pearl.¡± Chapter 302 - 302 Ji Wen’s Status in the Family 302 Ji Wen¡¯s Status in the Family Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°Mrs. Liu knelt before my husband yesterday because of you. She doesn¡¯t even want thepany anymore. She only wants you. I was especially touched at that time. Think about it. You two are not rted by blood, but she was willing to give up everything for you.¡± ¡°And your father and brother, they¡¯ve been secretly meeting my husband many times. They were afraid that you won¡¯t be able to ept it in such a short time, so they hoped that my husband could give you more time. All of them love you, and they don¡¯t ask for anything in return. As long as you¡¯re happy, even if you¡¯re Ji Xiaoyu, they¡¯ll always treat you as their own daughter!¡± ¡°Besides, you¡¯re not a heartless person. Even if you knew that you were Ji Xiaoyu, you didn¡¯t immediatelye to acknowledge that, but instead wanted to refuse. You clearly knew how powerful the Ji family was. Look at me, even if I was forced to marry someone, I didn¡¯t dare to break off the engagement, but you refused without hesitation.¡± ¡°This means that your love for them is beyond all blood ties. They will feel your love, so what you¡¯re worried about will not happen.¡± Upon hearing this, Liu Siyu took a deep breath. ¡°Is this our tribtion year?¡± Of the two friends, one was forced to marry, while the other found out that she was not biologically rted to her family. However, Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t think that these are bad things. Think about me, I¡¯ve been single for so many years. If you expect me to fall in love on my own, it¡¯ll probably be difficult for me to get married in this life. In the end, I didn¡¯t get into a rtionship and got married first. My ideal type is someone rich and handsome. Where else can I find such a good man?¡± Of course, being in bed with him was a little difficult. ¡°And you, you have so many family members all of a sudden, and they all dote on you so much. You¡¯re so blessed! Besides, isn¡¯t being Ji Wen¡¯s aunt a good thing?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you pity him a little?¡± Liu Siyu asked. Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°Why? I¡¯m his aunt. Bullying him at home feels great.¡± Liu Siyu asked in confusion, ¡°You¡¯re also bullying him at home? Won¡¯t sister-inw and my eldest brother be unhappy?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again. ¡°Xiaoyu, you still don¡¯t know about Ji Wen¡¯s status in the family. When you rejoin the Ji family, you¡¯ll understand why Xiaowen is so eager to move out and live by himself.¡± Liu Siyu did not know that Ji Wen was being bullied at home, so she asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t he the only child of the Ji family? And the young master of the Ji family?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s the young master of the Ji family. Before I joined the family, Ji Wen was like the king of the Ji family. But ever since I entered the family, perhaps I jinxed him or something, but Ji Wen¡¯s status in the family has be lower. Later on, even Dad started smacking him around.¡± Liu Siyu raised her eyebrows and thought about it. ¡°Before you married into the family, my second brother didn¡¯t get married, and the Ji family still needed Ji Wen to continue the family line, so they spoiled him. Now that you¡¯ve married into the family, you¡¯ll have another child in a few years. Ji Wen won¡¯t be the only child, so they don¡¯t have to spoil him anymore.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pondered for a moment. ¡°What you said makes sense. No wonder you¡¯re a member of the Ji family. You know them too well.¡± ¡°If Ji Wen had gotten married earlier and had a child, would his status in the Ji family have risen and then stabilized?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked after much thought. Liu Siyu shook her head. ¡°That would only make his status worse. They would have a great grandson. Who would care about Ji Wen then?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°That makes a lot of sense!¡± At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan really wanted to remind Ji Wen to get married a littleter. He would have a better time that way. The next day, a magical scene yed out in the living room of the Ji family. Fang Xiaonuan, Liu Siyu, and Ji Wen sat at the dining table and ate as usual. Old Master Ji, Mayor Ji, Feng Qi, and the maids all looked at Liu Siyu. Old Master Ji did not sleep at allst night. He got up early and went to the front door. When he saw that his daughter¡¯s shoes were still there, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his daughter would be gone when he woke up. Feng Qi and Mayor Ji looked at Liu Siyu, thinking about how she looked like when she was young. Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, was at peace. He only had eyes for his little wife. As he watched her gobble down the food, he reminded her, ¡°Today is the 14th.¡± Fang Xiaonuan, who was eating happily, asked with a confused expression, ¡°What¡¯s on the 14th?¡± With his family around, Ji Lingchen chose to say less. He took the crab from Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s hands and gave her some vegetables. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, are you abusing me? You¡¯re not letting me eat?¡± Ji Lingchen patted Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s stomach and said, ¡°Do you understand?¡± Only then did Fang Xiaonuan remember that her period was near. However, she thought about it and realized that there was still time. She said, ¡°There are still four days!¡± ¡°When the pain is unbearable, you¡¯ll start swearing again,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Chapter 303 - 303 A Terrifying Habit 303 A Terrifying Habit Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. She watched the crab she had longed for move further and further away from her. The Ji family¡¯s breakfast was usually quite normal. Although there were basically no repeated dishes for a week, there weren¡¯t too many varieties. Today, the meal was surprisingly sumptuous, and the table was full. This was all because of Old Master Ji¡¯s excitement. Earlier this morning, he had asked the kitchen to start cooking all kinds of dishes. He knew that he would not be able to finish them all, but he still asked for a lot. That was why Fang Xiaonuan could have mitten crab so early in the morning. However, crabs were not good to have before her period. This dietary restriction put her in a bad mood instantly. Throughout the entire breakfast, only Ji Wen had the most enjoyable and satisfying meal. After the meal, it was time to go to school. Ji Lingchen drove the three of them personally. Old Master Ji wanted to go with them so that he could spend more time with his daughter on the way. ¡°Dad, there¡¯s no more space in the car,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Old Master Ji pointed at Ji Wen and tried to chase him away, saying, ¡± Xiaowen, you can drive yourself. Give up your seat.¡± Liu Siyu looked at her nephew, who always got bullied. She did not have to be here for long at all. She could already sense Ji Wen¡¯s status in the family within minutes. Ji Wen patted the middle seat at the back and said, ¡°You can sit here, right? We can all squeeze in.¡± Old Master Ji squeezed into the car. Fang Xiaonuan had wanted to let Old Master Ji sit in the front seat, but he wanted to sit with his daughter instead of his youngest son. They would be closer and he would get to talk with her more. ¡°Xiaoyu, we¡¯ve actually met before,¡± said Old Master Ji. ¡°Do you still remember how fierce your sister-inw was when she was fighting? She didn¡¯t look like a girl at all. I saw you then. You scratched another girl¡¯s face and kicked another girl in the stomach. It looked like you used a lot of force.¡± He did not remember good things at all, only bad things. Liu Siyu said, ¡°Dad, I¡¯m actually ady. That was an ident.¡± Old Master Ji knew the truth. To be able to be best friends with his youngest daughter-inw, they must be alike. Plus, she was his daughter. ¡°I just wanted to say that you guys fought well. Your skills are really not bad!¡± Liu Siyu was speechless. Fang Xiaonuan was also at a loss for words. When they were at a red light, Fang Xiaonuan asked her husband, ¡°Hubby, are you going to the Lin family¡¯s house after sending us off?¡± ¡°Leave that business to the adults. Study hard at school.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I just want to fight by our side. If the Lin family doesn¡¯t cooperate, just say the word and I¡¯ll be there. I guarantee that I can use my fists to make them cooperate!¡± Ji Lingchen directly exposed what his wife was thinking. ¡°Xiaonuan, do you want to be my champion or do you want to personally eliminate your love rival?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly, ¡°These two matters don¡¯t conflict with each other.¡± However, Ji Lingchen refused to let her go. Who knew what they would say today? He felt that there were many things that were not suitable for his little wife to hear. ¡°How many times have you skipped sses this semester? It¡¯ll be embarrassing if you fail the exam.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not give up and continued to pester him. However, Ji Lingchen was adamant and refused to let her go. At the school gate, Fang Xiaonuan had no choice but to get out of the car with her books. Ji Wen also got out of the car, and Liu Siyu was thest to get out. As soon as she got out of the car, she looked up and saw her brother waiting for her at his usual spot. ¡°Brother!¡± Liu Siyu shouted. Then she ran in Liu Siyan¡¯s direction. Liu Siyan had wanted to go straight to the police station when he left the house, but somehow, he had driven to the school gate. After the car stopped, he realized that the familiar figure was no longer in the front passenger seat. He smiled bitterly. This was a terrifying force of habit. He had wanted to go to the ssroom to see if he could see his sister, but he realized that his sister had not arrived yet, so he turned back and was ready to leave. He was about to get into the car when he heard a car engine turn off. He looked up and saw a familiar figure. Old Master Ji and Ji Lingchen watched her back as she ran away, both silent. Liu Siyu seemed very ufortable with them, but she was very rxed and even happy to see anyone from the Liu family. She ran to Liu Siyan and asked pitifully, ¡°Brother, why didn¡¯t you reply to my messages?¡± ¡°I was busy,¡± Liu Siyan said perfunctorily. ¡°Why were you still awake at 4 in the morning?¡± In fact, the Liu family was in a mess yesterday. Their grandparents finally found out the truth about their granddaughter and drove home from the hospital in the middle of the night. They cried and made a scene, so he did not have time to look at his phone. When he saw his sister¡¯s message, it was already morning. He looked at the timestamp of his sister¡¯s message. She had sent the message past 4 in the morning. He also wanted to reply, but he did not know what to say. In the end, he did not reply. Liu Siyu said, ¡°I couldn¡¯t sleep. I miss you.¡± Chapter 304 - 304 Crime Scene 304 Crime Scene Liu Siyan pinched his sister¡¯s face and said gently, ¡°Go to ss. I have to go to the police station.¡± Liu Siyu, however, held her brother¡¯s arm and refused to let him go. ¡°Brother, how are Mom and Dad?¡± Liu Siyan said, ¡°Listen up, don¡¯t worry. When you¡¯re ready to change your name back to Ji Xiaoyu, you cane home. We can have dinner together.¡± When Liu Siyu heard this, tears fell from her eyes. She did not want to change her name. !! Liu Siyan looked at his sister¡¯s teary eyes and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. ¡°You¡¯d just being home for a meal, not a farewell meal. What are you crying for? Your eyes are swollen, and you look like you haven¡¯t slept. Hurry up and go to ss.¡± With that, he nced at Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan understood and quickly pulled Liu Siyu away. ¡°You¡¯re going to bete. Don¡¯t cry. Your brother won¡¯t be able to leave.¡± After that, she pulled Liu Siyu onto campus, and Ji Wen followed behind them. Ji Lingchen and Old Master Ji also got out of the car. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Liu Siyan said. ¡°Our family won¡¯t force Xiaoyu. You can change her name back. If she¡¯s not willing to, we won¡¯t cancel anything.¡± They wanted Liu Siyu¡¯s name to live forever. Ji Lingchen thanked him, and Old Master Ji wanted to find an opportunity to express his gratitude to the Liu family. However, Liu Siyan refused. He said that his grandparents had found out the truth and had been making a fuss at home, so it was best not to let Xiaoyu return to the Liu house for the next few days. Ji Lingchen agreed. Liu Siyan went back to the police station, while Old Master Ji and his son went to work. Mayor Ji began to investigate his sister¡¯s case. Ji Lingchen brought his father to the Lin family¡¯s home. ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± Mr. Lin was at home, and he could not believe what the maid had said. ¡°It¡¯s CEO Ji and Old Master Ji,¡± the maid replied. ¡°Please invite them in,¡± Mr. Lin said, overjoyed. When Madam Lin heard that they were here, she quickly asked the maid to help her daughter dress up. Lin Rou knew that Ji Lingchen had arrived, so she immediately got out of bed to wash up and put on makeup. In the living room, the father and son were already sitting on the sofa. Their expressions were cold, while the Lin family waited on them in fear. ¡°Mr. Lin, I just heard from my father that my sister passed away fifteen years ago. You were the one who found her body. Is that true?¡± Mr. Lin nodded slowly, ¡°That¡¯s right, Xiaoyu looked so pitiful. I couldn¡¯t bear to see it. It¡¯s been so long, and the dead can¡¯t be brought back to life. You guys shouldn¡¯t be too hung up on what happened in the past.¡± ¡°Where did you find her?¡± Ji Lingchen sneered. ¡°What was the cause of death? Howe we sent so many people to find her and used so many connections, but still could not find her? Meanwhile, you found her so easily?¡± ¡°Lingchen, you¡¯re here.¡± Lin Rou, who was all dressed up, quickly ran down the stairs. Seeing his daughter, Mr. Lin quickly changed the topic, ¡°Xiaorou, go and pour some tea for CEO Ji.¡± Lin Rou walked over and tried to pour some tea for Ji Lingchen, but he quickly covered the mouth of the cup. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Lingchen, you and your father rarely visit. You must have a cup of tea. Do you not like to drink tea? How about coffee? I¡¯ll go make you a cup now.¡± Lin Rou was about to go to the kitchen. Ji Lingchen furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with disgust. ¡°My wife gets jealous easily and likes to hit people. If you don¡¯t want to be pped, please stay away from me.¡± Lin Rou¡¯s expression froze as she recalled the time Fang Xiaonuan pped her. Mr. Lin quickly spoke up for his daughter, ¡°CEO Ji, Rou ¡®er¡­¡± Ji Lingchen was not in the mood to listen to this nonsense. He interrupted, saying, ¡°Mr. Lin, don¡¯t say such meaningless things. Where did you find my sister? How did she die? And how did you find her?¡± This time, he had to find out the truth about what happened. If the Lin family really had something to do with this, he would not let them go! Mr. Lin hated Ji Lingchen¡¯s high and mighty attitude, but he did not dare to offend him, so he said, ¡°I found her body in the grass.¡± ¡°I want to know the exact location,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Mr. Lin looked at their serious expressions and finally realized what had happened. He could not help but feel a little nervous. Why would they suddenly ask about what happened in the past? In the end, after Ji Lingchen¡¯s probing, Mr. Lin brought the two of them to the ce where Ji Xiaoyu¡¯s ¡°body¡± was found. Ji Lingchen looked at the crime scene that had turned into a paved road and asked, ¡°What was the cause of my sister¡¯s death?¡± ¡°The body had been defiled by a homeless man,¡± Mr. Lin said. Ji Lingchen turned to look at the guilty-looking Mr. Lin. ¡°Who bribed you and made you fake the certificate?¡± ¡°What?¡± Mr. Lin¡¯s pupils contracted, and he looked up in fear. His eyes met Ji Lingchen¡¯s sharp gaze, and his heart started racing. ¡°CEO Ji, what do you mean by that?¡± Chapter 305 - 305 A Clue 305 A Clue ¡°The Ji family sent so many people to search around the river, but they couldn¡¯t find any trace of Xiaoyu. Yet, you managed to find her. Who told you about this ce?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°CEO Ji, don¡¯t spout nonsense. I didn¡¯t harm Xiaoyu. If I could have saved either one of you, I would¡¯ve. If I could¡¯ve saved you both, you¡¯d be especially grateful to me. Obviously, I would¡¯ve saved her if I could. It was a coincidence that I found her body. I can¡¯t exin it, but it¡¯s the truth.¡± ¡°When did I say you harmed Xiaoyu?¡± Mr. Lin was at a loss for words. !! Ji Lingchen continued, ¡°And did you know? Xiaoyu is not dead.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Mr. Lin said in disbelief. ¡°How can you be so sure?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s gaze darkened. Mr. Lin¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he fell silent. Old Master Ji finally could not take it anymore. He stepped forward and pped Mr. Lin. ¡°Hurry up and tell me!¡± Mr. Lin said, ¡°I¡­ I found the child¡¯s body and called the police. I don¡¯t know who she is. The forensic doctor identified her as Xiaoyu.¡± He had deliberately led the case to that forensic doctor because the forensic doctor who had done the blood test had gone missing. Mayor Ji had also seen the case file. The forensic doctor surnamed Liu resigned after testing the blood of ¡± Xiaoyu¡¯s ¡± body. There was no news about it until today. The Ji family was at a dead end. That night, Ji Lingchen went to pick up the three students and bring them home. When they reached home, the first thing Fang Xiaonuan did was drag her husband back to the bedroom. She sniffed and looked at his body, wanting to see if there were any lipstick marks on his clothes or whether he smelled like perfume. Ji Lingchen pulled his little wife over. ¡°There¡¯s nothing. Women can¡¯t evene close to me.¡± Only then did Fang Xiaonuan let her husband off and asked, ¡°Hubby, did you learn anything from the Lin family today?¡± Ji Lingchen shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t manage to find out anything. Did Xiaoyu mention anything about what happened back then?¡± ¡°She did.¡± Fang Xiaonuan repeated what her friend had told her to her husband. Ji Lingchen fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan knew that her husband was thinking, so she did not disturb him and went to wash up. Meanwhile, Liu Siyu had been living with the Ji family for three days. Old Master Ji asked his daughter, ¡°Xiaoyu, are you willing to restore your old identity as Ji Xiaoyu?¡± Liu Siyu looked at her cautious father and felt sad. She said, ¡°I¡¯m willing to, but can I go home first?¡± ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Old Master Jiughed out loud. ¡°Okay, okay, I will send you home.¡± ¡°I want to go back by myself,¡± Liu Siyu said. After school, the Ji family did not interfere with wherever Liu Siyu wanted to go. She said goodbye to her friend and went to the police station. ¡°Brother.¡± Liu Siyan saw his sister the moment he got off work. ¡°Xiaoyu, what are you doing here? Did the Ji family bully you? Or are you not used to it? Did you suffer?¡± Liu Siyu smiled and held Liu Siyan¡¯s arm. She leaned on his shoulder and said, ¡°My brother has always been the one to pick me up from school since I was young. I want to pick you up today.¡± Liu Siyan looked at his younger sister, who had suddenly be obedient, and asked, ¡°Do you want to change your name back to Ji Xiaoyu?¡± Liu Siyu¡¯s expression darkened and she bit her lip. ¡°Brother, are you angry?¡± ¡°Why would I be? ¡± Liu Siyan said. ¡°I¡¯ll never be angry with you.¡± The two of them went to the market. Liu Siyan said that they had to eat dumplings at the reunion, so the two of them bought meat filling and vegetables. On the way back from buying groceries, Liu Siyu asked, ¡°Brother, do Grandpa and Grandma know?¡± ¡°Yeah,¡± Liu Siyan said. ¡°It¡¯s better if you don¡¯t see them for now. Otherwise, they¡¯ll be too agitated.¡± Liu Siyu lowered her head. ¡°Do they hate me?¡± she asked. ¡°Do you hate me?¡± ¡°No, they just think that you¡¯re Liu Siyu. Grandma said that you¡¯re as beautiful as she was when she was young, and that she knew you¡¯re her granddaughter. Grandpa also said that he watched you grow up, so he can¡¯t be wrong. There¡¯s no way you¡¯re from the Ji family.¡± Hearing this, Liu Siyu felt less guilty. When she got home, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu were not home yet. The brother and sister were busy making dumplings in the kitchen. Liu Siyu began to cry as soon as she started cutting scallions. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s hurting my eyes.¡± Liu Siyan quickly asked his sister to leave. Then, he took care of all the work. The moment Mrs. Liu got home, she saw her daughter rubbing her eyes. ¡°Xiaoyu, you¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m back.¡± Then, Liu Siyu hugged her mother and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mom. I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte.¡± Mrs. Liu cried tears of joy. After a few words, Mrs. Liu went into the kitchen to take over the work of making dumplings. But Liu Siyu and Liu Siyan did not leave. The three of them made dumplings together, talking andughing. Mr. Liu had also returned home. When he saw his wife and the two kids in the kitchen, he quickly took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves. The family spent a long time in the kitchen making dumplings. No one asked about their daughter¡¯s life in the Ji family. It was like nothing had changed. ¡­ Chapter 306 - 306 Restored Identity 306 Restored Identity At the Ji residence, Old Master Ji saw that it was already past eight in the evening and wanted to call his daughter, but Fang Xiaonuan took away his phone. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Dad, give them some time. You¡¯re too anxious to call them now.¡± The others also supported what Fang Xiaonuan said and did not allow Old Master Ji to make the call. Old Master Ji mumbled, ¡°I just miss her¡­¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°Even so, you have to bear with it.¡± At around nine o¡¯clock, Liu Siyu called home. She knew that her old father would not be able to sleep in peace if he did not hear from her. The two of them talked for a while before hanging up. However, in the end, Old Master Ji¡¯s phone was still confiscated by Ji Lingchen because Fang Xiaonuan had told on him. She told her husband that Old Master Ji had been ying with his phone in the middle of the night. Old Master Ji cursed and swore at his second son. He was already thinking about how to send him back to Spirit Creek Vi. In the Liu family¡¯s home, Liu Siyu chatted with her parents untilte at night. She could not tell her parents about restoring her identity, so she did not say anything about that. ¡°When will you restore your identity?¡± Mrs. Liu asked directly. ¡°Mom, are you angry?¡± she asked. Mrs. Liu shook her head. She had already thought it through and would not burden her daughter. In the end, Liu Siyu decided to change her identity tomorrow. Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter. ¡°This must be fate, Xiaoyu. In my heart, you will always be my Siyu. If you can¡¯t get used to living with the Ji family, you cane back anytime.¡± Liu Siyu nodded. From now on, she had two families; two families who loved her. The next day, Ji Lingchen personally came to pick Liu Siyu up. Liu Siyan took out his household register. He looked at Liu Siyu¡¯s name and was stunned for a long time. After Ji Lingchen left with Liu Siyu, the Liu couple cried for a long time. She changed her name back to Ji Xiaoyu. She started crying as soon as she got into the car. She had been Liu Siyu for fifteen years, and now she had changed her identity so easily. When the car stopped, Ji Xiaoyu saw that they had returned to the Liu residence. She turned to look at Ji Lingchen. ¡°Brother?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush to celebrate at home. I think you¡¯d rathere back here now.¡± Ji Xiaoyu cried again. ¡°Hurry up and go,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°What about Dad and our big brother?¡± Ji Xiaoyu asked worriedly. Ji Lingchen said, ¡°I¡¯ve been able to help you solve everything since you were young. I can still do it now. Just do what you want to do. Leave the rest to me.¡± Ji Xiaoyu cried as she got out of the car. After watching Ji Lingchen leave, she took out her keys and entered the house, but there was no one at home. After a while, they came back. It turned out that they had gone to cancel their daughter¡¯s ounts. They saw the girl on the sofa as soon as they entered the door. ¡°Xiaoyu?¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Ji Xiaoyu cried as she ran to her parents and brother. ¡°Why did youe back?¡± ¡°My brother sent me back here. He knows that I want to be with you guys more right now,¡± Ji Xiaoyu replied. ¡­ After Ji Lingchen returned home and saw the lively setup in the house, he immediately asked the servants to clean it up. Old Master Ji saw that his second son was alone and asked in dissatisfaction, ¡°Where¡¯s your sister?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve sent her back to the Liu family¡¯s house.¡± Old Master Ji raised his walking stick to hit his son. ¡°Do you want her to cry while celebrating with us, or do you want her to go back to the Liu family happily?¡± Old Master Ji fell silent. The Ji family¡¯s celebrations had yet to begin, but it was already over. Then, he called Ji Xiaoyu. ¡°Xiaoyu, have you eaten yet?¡± ¡°Dad, I was just about to eat. What about you?¡± Old Master Ji said, ¡°I¡¯ve finished eating. I¡¯m fine. I just wanted to tell you to have fun at the Liu family¡¯s house and spend more time with your parents. You don¡¯t have to rush back. The Ji family¡¯s door will always be open for you.¡± Ji Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then agreed, ¡°I know, Dad.¡± She finally smiled, relieved. The Ji family and the Liu family hade to an agreement that Ji Xiaoyu could live wherever she wanted. The only people who disagreed with this arrangement were the grandparents from the Liu family. When they were in the hospital for treatment, they found out that their granddaughter had gone to the Ji family¡¯s house. They were so angry that they returned to their hometown overnight. For the past few days, the Liu family had been trying to persuade the two elders toe back. Ji Xiaoyu called her grandparents. ¡°Grandpa, Grandma,e back to Jing City. No matter where I go, I¡¯ll always be your granddaughter!¡± Her grandma said, ¡°Go and tell the Ji family that they were mistaken. You look just like me when I was young. Why else would you be so beautiful? You¡¯re my granddaughter!¡± ¡°Xiaoyu,¡± her grandpa said, ¡°Listen to me. Don¡¯t acknowledge the Ji family!¡± Ji Xiaoyu replied weakly, ¡°But I¡¯ve already changed my name back to¡­¡± Due to this, they got angry enough toe back to Jing City. ¡°Xiaoyu,¡± her grandma said. ¡°If you really want to acknowledge the Ji family, that¡¯s fine too. But your grandfather and I must meet the Ji family and see what kind of family dares to steal our granddaughter!¡± Chapter 307 - 307 Visiting 307 Visiting When the two elders of the Liu family saw the grand gate and the carvings on it, they were stunned. The people who lived on thisnd must be quite rich. Ji Xiaoyu¡¯s grandpa, ¡°Granddaughter, how much does one square meter of this neighborhood cost? Over ten thousand?¡± ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re not looking at the neighborhood. You¡¯re looking at the Ji family¡¯s¡­¡± Ji Xiaoyu started saying. Her grandfather was at a loss for words. The helper hurriedly came out to wee her when she arrived. Old Master Ji knew that the Liu family wasing and had already informed his daughter-inw, ¡°Xiaonuan, there will be guestsingter. You and Lingchen have to take care of my pride. Don¡¯t scold me in front of the guests!¡± Fang Xiaonuan found Old Master Ji adorable. ¡°Dad, do I look like someone who doesn¡¯t have good judgment? I won¡¯t say anything bad about you in front of the guests. We can talk behind closed doors, but since the guests are here, we¡¯ll definitely be friendly. Don¡¯t worry, Dad. I¡¯ll take care of your pride!¡± Old Master Ji was relieved to hear this. The two elders of the Liu family entered the house, and Ji Xiaoyu began to introduce them. ¡°Are you sure my granddaughter is your biological daughter?¡± her grandmother asked Old Master Ji. ¡°Why don¡¯t you check again? I think your family must have made a mistake.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that,¡± Old Master Ji replied. ¡°I know my daughter.¡± ¡°What if you¡¯re wrong?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible,¡± Old Master Ji said. ¡°Her eyes are the same as her mother¡¯s.¡± ¡°My granddaughter had stic surgery!¡± her grandfather said. Ji Xiaoyu was speechless. She did not have stic surgery! ¡°stic surgery can¡¯t change her blood type,¡± Old Master Ji said. ¡°My family has already done a blood test. She¡¯s my daughter!¡± Ji Xiaoyu¡¯s grandma looked around and turned to ask her daughter-inw in a low voice, ¡°What does the Ji family do? They seem to be quite rich!¡± ¡°Xiaoyu¡¯s elder brother is the mayor of Jing City, and his second brother is a very powerful man in the business world, Ji Lingchen,¡± Mrs. Liu exined awkwardly. The grandmother had never heard of Ji Lingchen, so she asked, ¡°In other words, the Ji family is doing quite well?¡± ¡°Yes, much better than we are.¡± Mrs. Liu nodded. Ji Xiaoyu¡¯s grandma was relieved. ¡°As long as she¡¯s not from a poor family¡­ Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid my granddaughter won¡¯t be able to adapt.¡± Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen also put in a good word for them. The grandma¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Oh, this child is pretty. She¡¯s as good-looking as Xiaoyu.¡± ¡°Yes, she¡¯s Xiaonuan, Xiaoyu¡¯s best friend,¡± said Mrs. Liu with a smile. ¡°Oh, so this is Xiaonuan. I heard from Xiaoyu that she¡¯s also a member of the Ji family?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was the Ji family¡¯s daughter-inw, so she was naturally a member of the Ji family. She nodded. ¡°Yes, grandma. I¡¯m also a member of the Ji family.¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, how old are you today? Do you have a partner? If you don¡¯t, what do you think of my eldest grandson? He¡¯s the captain of the police station. He is energetic and has a stable job.¡± She was trying to set Fang Xiaonuan up with her grandson. ¡°Mom, stop trying to y matchmaker. Xiaonuan is already married. She¡¯s the Ji family¡¯s daughter-inw, and that man over there is her husband.¡± Mrs. Liu quickly interrupted her mother and pointed at Ji Lingchen. ¡°Ah? They¡¯re married?¡± She looked at Fang Xiaonuan in surprise. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re not a daughter of the Ji family!¡± ¡°You can say that I¡¯m their half-daughter! The Ji family is my husband¡¯s family.¡± Ji Lingchen happened to look over. He was originally quite grateful to the Liu family, but what did they mean by introducing a boyfriend to his wife? Looking at his little wife¡¯s delicate appearance, he realized why they had misunderstood. She looked too much like a child. However, if they had a child in the future, people would not think that he was her younger brother, right? CEO Ji, who had always been calm and collected, was starting to get upset. The two elders of the Liu family were slightly relieved when they saw the Ji family¡¯s living conditions. The Ji family was also very touched when they knew how much the Liu family doted on Ji Xiaoyu. During lunch, Old Master Ji opened a bottle of good wine. He did not drink much anymore, but he had to drink to his heart¡¯s content today! As the two families drank, they talked about the subject at hand and both families epted their current rtionship. Ji Xiaoyu returned with the Liu family, but she only stayed for a day before being driven back to the Ji family. First, it was because she was going to start school. Second, her grandparents had to be treated, and her parents had to take turns apanying them. The new year wasing, and the crime rate was rising. Her brother was busy and worried about her being alone, so he let her return to the Ji family¡¯s home. In this regard, Old Master Ji felt that the Liu family¡¯s actions were in line with his intentions. A semester passed by quickly. Ji Xiaoyu had gotten used to running around and living with two families. She enjoyed their love. Fang Xiaonuan had alsopletely gotten used to her married life, and every day was very sweet. The three students heaved a sigh of relief when the final exam was over. Thanks to her husband¡¯s tutge, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s reputation as the principal did not suffer. After finishing herst subject, she saw her husband waiting for her outside the ssroom. Liu Siyan was standing beside him. Chapter 308 - 308 Something Happened to Ji Wen 308 Something Happened to Ji Wen ¡°The Lin Group can¡¯t be as clean as they look,¡± Liu Siyan said to Ji Lingchen. ¡°The more beautiful their ounts are, the more suspicious they seem.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for me to deal with these things, so I¡¯ll send Ji Wen to the ck teahouse to investigate some things. On the surface, the ck teahouse is a teahouse that the Lin family has invested in, but do you know who is actually in charge?¡± Liu Siyan shook his head. ¡°West,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. He only said one word, but he knew Liu Siyan would understand. At this moment, two figures suddenly ran to the two of them. ¡°Hubby!¡± Fang Xiaonuan threw herself into her husband¡¯s arms. ¡°Hubby, why are you here?¡± ¡°Brother,¡± Liu Siyu said, hugging her brother. ¡°You¡¯re not busy today?¡± The appearance of the two interrupted their prior conversation. Ji Lingchen hugged his little wife and said to Liu Siyan, ¡°Let¡¯s keep in touch.¡± Liu Siyan nodded. ¡°I¡¯m bringing Xiaoyu Home. We¡¯ll stay there for a few days.¡± Ji Wen leisurely yed with the car keys and walked away. Ji Lingchen thought that it would take a long time to book a 9-valent vine locally, so he was taking Fang Xiaonuan abroad for the vine shot. Ji Xiaoyu was also going back to the Liu family¡¯s home to stay for a few days. All the people who always oppressed him were leaving, and Ji Wen was in an extremely good mood. The night before Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan left, Ji Wen was called to the study. ¡°I¡¯ve given you Assistant Liu¡¯s phone number,¡± Ji Lingchen said. ¡°Continue your investigation. Investigate all thepanies under the Lin family, just like the illegal teahouse. Find out who¡¯s controlling them.¡± ¡°Uncle, why do you keep asking me to investigate the Lin family?¡± Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for me to reveal myself in order to find out the truth behind your aunt¡¯s disappearance. I can¡¯t trust anyone else, so I can only rely on you. Be smart and I¡¯ll feel better about it.¡± ¡°Uncle, you think the kidnapping case was nned by the Lin family?¡± Ji Wen understood. Ji Lingchen shook his head. ¡°Mr. Lin is a coward. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn¡¯t have the guts. Unless he has someone backing him up.¡± ¡°Is this Director Xi?¡± Ji Wen asked. ¡°He¡¯s just a pawn. Besides, 15 years ago, he didn¡¯t have a career. His power and position couldn¡¯t be what¡¯s backing the Lin family.¡± ¡°There are other people behind this,¡± Ji Wen said. Ji Lingchen nodded. The next day, Ji Lingchen took Fang Xiaonuan overseas after he had given his nephew some instructions. In a foreign country, Fang Xiaonuan realized that her luggage had already been packed the moment she got out of bed. There was no sign of her husband in the room. She had just gotten her vine yesterday and had not been in a foreign country for more than two days when her husband received a call that night, saying that something had happened to Ji Wen. There were no flights at night, so they could only leave today. After a while, Ji Lingchen returned to pick up Fang Xiaonuan, and the two of them headed to the airport. On the ne, Fang Xiaonuan asked worriedly, ¡°Honey, will Xiaowen get beaten up? Although he¡¯s smart, he¡¯s not good at fighting.¡± ¡°No, he¡¯s just being detained,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Last night, CEO Ji was discussing where they should go next with his wife, when he received a call about Ji Wen. The call was from a stranger, who said that Ji Wen was causing trouble in his store. He had been iming to be Ji Lingchen¡¯s nephew. He called to ask if it was fake. When she heard that it was really Ji Lingchen who answered the phone, she personally went to pick him up. She even imed that the boss was Ji Lingchen¡¯s old acquaintance, CEO Lin, and even threatened to be impolite to Ji Wen. Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize that Ji Wen was investigating the Lin family on her husband¡¯s behalf and was now being detained by the Lin family. She hurriedly packed her luggage and asked her husband to book the ne ticket. The ne quicklynded in Jing City. Ji Lingchen had wanted to let his little wife go home while he made a trip to the Lin family¡¯s house, but Fang Xiaonuan refused and sat in the front passenger seat. ¡°No, I¡¯ll go with you to the Lin family¡¯s home to see who this Mr. Lin is. How dare he detain my nephew!¡± Ji Lingchen could only go along with his wife¡¯s wishes and the two of them went to the Lin family¡¯s residence together. In the Lin family¡¯s living room, Ji Wen¡¯s phone was on the coffee table. Fang Xiaonuan took the phone and handed it to Ji Lingchen, but he asked her to put it back in ce. ¡°I¡¯ll have them return it to me personallyter.¡± Fang Xiaonuan put down the phone and sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. She looked less like a guest, and more like she was here to cause trouble. Mr. Lin came veryte this time. He had deliberately let them wait. Twenty minutester, he came downstairs and said to the two with a smile, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m so sorry, CEO Ji. I was dealing with some work in the study room just now. Please forgive me for making you wait.¡± Fang Xiaonuan did not believe his nonsense. Since they were here to stir up trouble, she did not hold back. ¡°Mr. Lin, did you need to draft your lie? Didn¡¯t you peek at us a few times when you were at the corner of the stairs?¡± Mr. Lin was a little embarrassed. He did not answer directly, but asked, ¡°You are?¡± Fang Xiaonuan pretended to be surprised, ¡°Ah, you don¡¯t know me, Director Lin? When my husband and I got married, we invited all the famous people from all over the world. Mr. Lin, were you not one of them?¡± Chapter 309 - 309 Humiliation 309 Humiliation Facing the sharp-tongued and aggressive Fang Xiaonuan, Mr. Lin¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°I was, but my memory¡¯s not that good.¡± ¡°Oh, I see,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said as if she had a sudden realization. ¡°That¡¯s true. Director Lin, you¡¯re getting older. A bad memory is only to be expected. I wonder how old you are this year. 80?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just over 50 this year,¡± said Mr. Lin through gritted teeth. Fang Xiaonuan turned to her husband. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange? Mr. Lin is only in his fifties. Why does he look like he¡¯s in his eighties?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife¡¯s ability to manipte people had improved again. It seemed like Ji Wen¡¯s detainment had made her very angry. Mr. Lin lost control of his emotions after hearing Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s words, but he could not say what he wanted to say as she could. After holding it in for a long time, he finally said, ¡°Miss Fang, you have no manners.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°You¡¯re very rude, Director Lin!¡± Ji Lingchen interrupted their bickering. ¡°Where¡¯s my nephew?¡± Mr. Lin then remembered the business he had to attend to. He quickly gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper turned around to bring Ji Wen out. While they were waiting, Mr. Lin told Ji Lingchen, ¡°CEO Ji, no matter what, I¡¯m your savior. You can¡¯t bite the hand that feeds you, can you? Isn¡¯t it a bit too much for you to let your nephew cause trouble in my shop and affect my business?¡± Ji Lingchen asked curiously, ¡°Mr. Lin, how did you find out that I sent my nephew to cause trouble? Besides, why would I let him cause trouble? I won¡¯t be ndered for no reason. If you don¡¯t make things clear today, I won¡¯t let this slide!¡± His eyes were sharp, and he stared directly at Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin did not dare to look at him. After a while, Ji Wen came out. Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists when she saw his arm being held. The Lin family was humiliating him! Only criminals should be held like this. At this moment, arge handnded on top of hers, and she turned to look at her husband. Her husband did not look at her. Instead, he coldly looked at Mr. Lin, as if he was looking at a dead man. Although his eyes were cold, he asked with a smile, ¡°Mr. Lin, tell me now. How did my nephew cause trouble in your store?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal,¡± Mr. Lin said. ¡°He just broke a few sses.¡± Ji Lingchen said, ¡°It seems like the cups in your shop are very expensive. You¡¯re even holding my nephew like this. Name your price.¡± Ji Wen was released. He stood up straight with a serious expression. His eyes were somewhat simr to Ji Lingchen¡¯s, but he was slightly more inexperienced. He sat beside Ji Lingchen without saying a word. ¡°Just apologize,¡± Mr. Lin said. ¡°It¡¯s not that expensive.¡± Probably because he had a backer, Ji Wen finally exploded. ¡°Apologize to you, my *ss! I didn¡¯t ask you to apologize to me, and you¡¯re taking advantage of me? Other people are thick-skinned, but you¡¯repletely shameless!¡± Fang Xiaonuan remained silent. She casually picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a look at the material, and then threw it forcefully at Mr. Lin¡¯s feet. With a loud crash, the teacup shattered on the ground, and the tea sshed all over Mr. Lin¡¯s shoes and trousers. He red at Fang Xiaonuan angrily, but Fang Xiaonuan did not seem to mind. She smiled at Director Lin and said, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Lin. My hand slipped.¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, why don¡¯t you detain me too? Or should I apologize too?¡± Director Lin felt that Fang Xiaonuan was here to provoke him. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, I really don¡¯t know how Director Fang has educated you. You¡¯re so unruly.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what your father taught you. You¡¯re digging your own grave. You¡¯re quite old, yet you¡¯re still having such sweet dreams!¡± ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯d better watch your mouth!¡± Lin Rou, who had been eavesdropping, could not help but jump out and say something. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Ugh, how could I have forgotten about you? What kind of father has raised a daughter like you? You¡¯re even willing to hide in the dark to eavesdrop on others. You¡¯re just like a rat in the sewers!¡± Lin Rou pointed at Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, aren¡¯t you afraid that Lingchen will find your face disgusting?¡± she asked. Fang Xiaonuan raised her chin and said smugly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but my husband likes me like this. He loves me to death. He likes my sharp tongue and my merciless fighting skills. Ms. Lin, if you don¡¯t believe me, you can stand there and not move. Let me p you a few times.¡± ¡°You little brat!¡± Lin Rou picked up a cup on the coffee table and was about to ssh water on Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes and reflexes were sharp. He picked up the teacup and threw it at Lin Rou¡¯s hand. Before the cup Lin Rou had thrown out could fly forward, it was smashed by another cup, and the fragments flew everywhere. Fang Xiaonuan had not expected her husband to throw it so urately. She felt that her husband was extremely attractive now. ¡°Hubby, teach me. I want to learn how to throw cups too!¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. Was this the time for her admiration? ¡°I¡¯ll teach you when we get home.¡± Fang Xiaonuan nodded in excitement. Chapter 310 - 310 The Shameless Competition 310 The Shameless Competition Lin Rou was so scared that she did not manage to dodge. The tea sshed all over her. When she realized what had happened, she was still holding a broken piece of the teacup. At that moment, Mr. Lin¡¯s phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from hispany, he turned around and answered it. ¡°Chairman, it¡¯s bad!¡± After the call, Mr. Lin¡¯s face turned from red to purple and then went white. When he hung up the phone, his eyes were wide. ¡°CEO Ji...¡± Ji Lingchen remained calm and collected. It seems like he received a call from thepany. Mr. Lin was no longer as arrogant as before, as Ji Lingchen practically had him by the throat. ¡°CEO Ji, you should look into the coboration with Tang Enterprise.¡± ¡°Tang Enterprise has been supporting the Lin family for almost 15 years.¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s time to give some newpanies a chance to shine.¡± Tang Enterprise used to be a smallpany under the Ji family. Itter became independent, but always worked closely with the Ji family. Because of what happened 15 years ago, Ji Lingchen pulled some strings and got Tang Enterprise to help him. Mr. Lin thought that after so many years, Tang Enterprise would no longer be controlled by Ji Corporation, but he was wrong. However, Tang Enterprise would rather pay a billion yuan in penalty to terminate the contract with Lin Corporation. There were manypanies that wanted to cooperate with Tang Enterprise, but now, Lin¡¯spanycked a partner. Ji Lingchen replied, ¡°You¡¯re too busy to entertain guests now, Mr. Lin. You¡¯re also old and muddled. You called Mrs. Ji by ¡®Ms. Fang¡¯. It seems that you¡¯re way too busy. I¡¯ve relieved some of the work-rted pressures for you. Don¡¯t feel the need to thank me. Lin Corporation is already a mature enterprise, and you don¡¯t need my help anymore.¡± With that, Ji Lingchen grabbed his wife¡¯s hand and walked out. Mr. Lin quickly stood up and blocked their way. ¡°Lingchen, you can¡¯t be so cruel!¡± ¡°Cruel?¡± He looked at his nephew and then at the phone on the coffee table. ¡°I thought you were reasonable, but you used my nephew of causing trouble because of a cup. You even detained him like he¡¯s some criminal. You even confiscated his phone. Who is the cruel one here?¡± Mr. Lin hurriedly handed the phone to Ji Wen. Ji Wen took it. Lin Rou knew how important Tang Enterprise was to Lin Corporation, so she stepped forward to grab Ji Lingchen¡¯s wrist. Ji Lingchen seemed to have anticipated her actions, so he pulled his little wife back a few steps. Lin Rou¡¯s outstretched hand grabbed nothing. Fang Xiaonuan panicked, ¡°Who are you trying to grab? My husband? If you dare to touch my husband with your ws, I¡¯ll chop your hands off. Do you believe me?¡± Lin Rou could not be bothered to argue with Fang Xiaonuan. She ran past Fang Xiaonuan, and stopped in front of Ji Lingchen. ¡°Lingchen, you can¡¯t let Tang Enterprise and Lin Group terminate their contract. You¡¯re pushing our family to a dead end. My father saved your life back then. Isn¡¯t that worth 15 years of kindness?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Do you not think 15 years is enough? You¡¯re really insatiable!¡± Ji Wen said, ¡°If there¡¯s apetition for the most shameless family, your family would be the world champion!¡± ¡°If you¡¯ve been a dog for a long time, your master might like you. If the dog is about to starve to death, do you think the master will just leave it to die?¡± After saying that, he gave Mr. Lin a meaningful look, then left with his wife and nephew. Mr. Lin looked at Ji Lingchen¡¯s departing figure in shock. What did he mean? Lin Rou asked, ¡°Dad, what does Lingchen mean? Will he help us?¡± Ji Lingchen drove away in the Maybach. On the way, he said to his nephew, ¡°Throw your phone out the window.¡± After Ji Wen formatted his phone, he threw it out of the window. They were worried that someone had tampered with it. ¡°Xiaowen, how did you get caught?¡± Fang Xiaonuan asked. Only then did Ji Wen tell them what had happened. It turned out that he had been targeted for a long time. That day, as soon as he entered the store, he was ndered by the staff. They imed he had broken the tea set and sent him directly into a room. The person who set the trap was not a member of the Lin family. The Lin family was very polite to that person, and they were very obedient. After returning to the Ji family¡¯s residence, Ji Lingchen asked Ji Wen to get changed and took him out to see Murong. After telling Fang Xiaonuan where they were going, the two of them left. When they arrived at the Jade Water Manor, Murong was already waiting for them. ¡°I guess you¡¯re not here with good news.¡± After that, the three of them sat down and started talking. Meanwhile, after Ji Xiaoyu found out that her nephew had been illegally detained, she decisively chose to call the police. Half an hourter, Liu Siyan personally led a team to Lin Corporation to make an arrest. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen did not sit idly either. They immediately sold a video of Director Lin¡¯s arrest to the media for 500 yuan. Mr. Lin¡¯s arrest went straight into the trending searches. Combined with the termination of the Tang Enterprise contract, people in the business world spected that Lin Corporation was also finished. Many cooperatingpanies began to think about terminating their contracts. The shareholders were antsy, and some were considering selling their shares before the stock price hit its limit. The Lin Corporation was facing its greatest crisis. Fang Xiaonuan, the main culprit of all this, was being reprimanded by her husband in the bedroom. Chapter 311 - 311 Banquet 311 Banquet Ji Lingchen never expected that his little wife would make the first move before he could even do anything to the Lin family. She even caused the Lin family to fall from grace. ¡°Xiaonuan, how could you risk going against the Lin Corporation alone?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m not alone. I have two other aplices. One is Xiaoyu, and the other is Xiaowen.¡± She directly exposed her friends¡¯ involvement. Ji Lingchen¡¯s expression was serious, and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s chest tightened. Could it be that her actions had brought trouble to Ji Corporation? She quickly hugged her husband and asked weakly, ¡°Hubby, did your kitten do something wrong?¡± His little wife¡¯s coquettish tone almost broke Ji Lingchen¡¯sposure. He quickly steadied his serious expression and reprimanded, ¡°What you did today was nonsense. I can use many ways to destroy him in the business world. Why did you have to offend a viin like him? What if he retaliates against you?¡± Fang Xiaonuan kissed her husband on the cheek. ¡°Hubby, calm down. I¡¯m Mrs. Ji. He¡¯s as timid as a mouse. He won¡¯t dare to exact revenge on me!¡± She also understood that her husband was angry because he was worried about her safety. ¡°I¡¯m good at fighting, so don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Ji Lingchen continued, ¡°Next time, you should learn from Xiaoyu. Stab him in the back instead. Mr. Lin knew that someone called the police to arrest him, but he did not know that it was Xiaoyu who did it. He could only suffer in silence.¡¯ But you and Xiaowen weren¡¯t smart enough. He knew that you two were the ones who recorded the video. I won¡¯t feel bad if Xiaowen suffers because he has thick skin, but what if someone hurts you?¡± ¡°I know how to fight, hubby,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°You only have two hands. Can you fight ten men?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. ¡®There¡¯s really nothing I can do!¡¯ In order to appease her husband, Fang Xiaonuan offered him a kiss. Ji Lingchen would not let this opportunity go, so he ¡°taught¡± her a good lesson in bed. ... The next day, Mr. Lin was released on bail. Seeing that hispany was about to be destroyed, he quickly turned to his backer and said, ¡°Boss, what should I do now that things havee to this? Liu Siyan is like a mad dog, biting down on Commissioner Xi and refusing to let go. We can¡¯t hold on for much longer, and Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s video is also about to bring down thepany.¡± The man he called ¡®boss¡¯ had white hair and was smoking a cigar. ¡°Fang Xiaonuan? Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s her!¡± Mr. Lin said. ¡°A little girl caused all this? I¡¯m really curious about her.¡± The old manughed. ¡°Boss, how can Lin Corporation survive this situation?¡± Mr. Lin asked. ¡°Mr. Chen¡¯s birthday banquet is in five days. It¡¯s a good opportunity,¡± the old man said. ¡°Thank you for your advice, boss!¡± Mr. Lin bowed respectfully. ... That night, at the Ji residence, Old Master Ji received a video call from Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen said, ¡°I¡¯m having a birthday party this Saturday. Bring your family, especially your daughter-inw who can y more than a thousand rounds of Anipop. I haven¡¯t met her!¡± ¡°My second daughter-inw is called Xiaonuan,¡± Old Master Ji said. ¡°You only remember that she¡¯s good at ying Anipop.¡± ¡°Anyway, bring your family. Don¡¯t leave anyone behind!¡± Old Master Ji agreed. He left the room and was about to look for Fang Xiaonuan. He wanted to bring up this subject with her. The couple was lying down. Ji Lingchen was the one who opened the door. Who knew that Fang Xiaonuan would reject his invitation? This made Old Master Ji sad. If Fang Xiaonuan did not go, how could he show off his daughter-inw to Mr. Chen? The next morning, after Ji Lingchen went to work, Old Master Ji looked for Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Xiaonuan, why don¡¯t you want to apany me to the banquet?¡± ¡°Dad, I¡¯ve never attended one before. I¡¯m afraid of embarrassing myself,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Old Master Ji finally understood his daughter-inw¡¯s point of view. ¡°You¡¯ll go with me. It won¡¯t be embarrassing!¡± Fang Xiaonuan still did not agree to go. Old Master Ji rolled his eyes. ¡°Xiaonuan, your love rival might be there. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you,¡± he said. Fang Xiaonuan was taken aback. Was Lin Rou going too? ¡°I don¡¯t consider her a love rival. I¡¯m not going.¡± ¡°Maybe she¡¯s not your love rival, but you might still have more love rivals you don¡¯t know about yet! Lingchen never told you about this, right? Before you, Lingchen wouldn¡¯t listen to anyone, but when it came to that person... If she wanted something, he would definitely relent. Those two haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Aren¡¯t you afraid...¡± Fang Xiaonuan fell silent. She would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one off. ¡°Dad, can I bring a knife to the banquet?¡± Old Master Ji panicked. ¡°I don¡¯t think you should bring a knife.¡± ... On Saturday, the Chen family¡¯s banquet was crowded with guests. In order to outdo her love rivals, Fang Xiaonuan put on a custom-made gown. The skirt of the bluish-purple gown was iid with a circle of shattered diamonds. Her dress sparkled in the dazzling light with every step she took. Chapter 312 - 312 The Feng Family 312 The Feng Family Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife. She was dressed too stunningly, and this made him very unhappy. So many men would get the chance to look at her! ¡°Xiaonuan, why don¡¯t we go home?¡± ¡°Impossible. I even brought my knife!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°A de? What for?¡± !! Fang Xiaonuan, ¡°To eliminate your love rival!¡± Ji Lingchen was speechless. ¡°What love rival?¡± Old Master Ji was bragging to Mr. Chen about how amazing his daughter-inw was. ¡°My daughter-inw is the most beautiful girl in the school. Really! You know about Lingchen¡¯s temper? He¡¯s as obedient as a puppy when he¡¯s around her!¡± ¡°Your second daughter-inw is so powerful?¡± Mr. Chen did not believe it. ¡°I want to see what she looks like!¡± Mrs. Chen said. A momentter, the couple entered the banquet hall, arm in arm. Fang Xiaonuan looked left and right. ¡°Hubby, stop hugging me. I¡¯m looking for your love rival!¡± she said. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°I should be the one asking you!¡± ¡°Little fool.¡± Ji Lingchen suddenly realized something. ¡°Did dad trick you?¡± He had been wondering why his wife had suddenly changed her mind abouting. Initially, she did not want toe at all. Fang Xiaonuan thought. ¡°Huh? Dad lied to me?¡± ¡°Dad wanted you toe, so he could show you off to his old friends. He told you that I have a love rival because he knew it would bother you,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Why does he want to show me off?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was confused. ¡°Probably because you¡¯re too beautiful!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s face reddened. How could her husbandpliment her beauty in public? Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s parents had also arrived. The four of them chatted for a while before Ji Lingchen brought Fang Xiaonuan to greet Mr. Chen. When Fang Xiaonuan saw the two elders from the Chen family, she greeted them obediently. The two elders thought that Fang Xiaonuan was the sweetest and prettiest girl. They kept praising her. Old Master Ji was so pleased with himself that his nose practically pointed skyward. During the conversation, Fang Xiaonuan found out that Director Lin and Lin Rou were there as well. However, they should be hiding. They were probably afraid of getting scolded again. After saying their goodbyes, Fang Xiaonuan followed Feng Qi to the washroom. She had only taken a few steps when Feng Qi was suddenly called away by someone familiar. Fang Xiaonuan had not wanted to go to the washroom in the first ce. Now that her husband was not with her, she took the opportunity to sneak into the banquet hall. At first, she had been looking for her love rival. Now she was looking for her enemies. Sure enough, she saw Mr. Lin in the corner, who was talking leisurely. ¡°What a coincidence, Mr. Lin.¡± She strode over and greeted him. When Director Lin heard this familiar voice, he knew that something was wrong. When he turned, he saw Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s smiling face. Mr. Lin¡¯s heart was in his throat. Fang Xiaonuan cleared her throat and said loudly, ¡°Mr. Lin, you¡¯re out of prison already? That day, I saw you being taken away by the captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit. I wanted to visit you in prison. What a coincidence that I¡¯m seeing you again now that you¡¯re out! Mr. Lin, tell me. Why were you arrested?¡± The people around them turned to watch. Mr. And Mrs. Fang happened to be nearby. They saw their daughter and walked toward her. Fang Xiaonuan continued, ¡°The news said that Lin Corporation is going bankrupt and is facing a financial crisis. They also said that they¡¯ve already discussed an acquisition. Is that true, Director Lin? Also, why did Tang Enterprise suddenly cancel their contract with you?¡± The people who were chatting happily just now all subconsciously kept their distance from Director Lin when they heard this. Director Lin noticed that everyone was avoiding him, and he was burning with anger. He had just exined to these people that Lin Corporation was fine, and that there was a high chance that they could work together. Now, Fang Xiaonuan had ruined everything! Mr. Fang also realized that his daughter was speaking with Mr. Lin. He took his wife¡¯s hand and said, ¡°We¡¯ll wait and see.¡± Lin Rou had long since spotted Fang Xiaonuan. She was in the crowd behind her. These people might not know, but she was well aware that Fang Xiaonuan had something to do with her father¡¯s arrest. She could not take this lying down. She also had not expected Fang Xiaonuan to start a fight with her father in public. A thought surfaced in her mind. She sneaked up behind Fang Xiaonuan and suddenly rushed forward to give her a hard push. She even shouted, ¡°Fang Xiaonuan, you¡¯re courting death!¡± She wanted to push Fang Xiaonuan into the arms of an old man in front of her. There were quite a number of reporters at the banquet. If the reporters were to take a picture of Ji Lingchen¡¯s wife falling into the arms of an old man, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s reputation and the Ji family¡¯s reputation would suffer. No matter what the truth was, if someone published this, it would definitely embarrass them! Fang Xiaonuan was wearing high heels and was caught off guard. Her body fell forward. Seeing that there was a man in front of her, she twisted suddenly, taking the risk of hitting a table. When Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang saw this, they quickly ran over to protect their daughter. In the end, Fang Xiaonuan fell into her father¡¯s arms, but her father¡¯s waist hit the corner of the table. Mr. Fang ignored the pain and asked, ¡°My daughter, are you alright?¡± Chapter 313 - 313 Fight 313 Fight ¡°Dad!¡± Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s mother helped her up. ¡°Are you alright?¡± She did not even notice Lin Rouing up behind her. If her father had not protected her, the consequences would have been unimaginable. After regaining her bnce, she turned around and walked to Lin Rou. She raised her hand and gave her a p. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to understand words. Do you have to fight to prove your point?¡± After scolding her, she gave Lin Rou a backhanded p. Then, she lifted her skirt and kicked her in the stomach. After Lin Rou fell, she climbed on top of her and continued hitting her. Mrs. Fang wanted to remind her daughter to take care of her reputation, but she realized that she could not get close to her daughter at all. !! Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s eyes were already red from the effort. She pped her and punched her. Lin Rou waspletely unable to retaliate. The banquet hall was silent, and the people around them could hear the muffled sounds of the fight. No one around could stop Fang Xiaonuan, so Mr. Fang quickly said to his wife, ¡°Quickly! Go find Lingchen!¡± Ji Lingchen was chatting with the Chen family when his mother-inw found him. He stood up and ran towards the banquet hall. When he arrived at the scene, he finally saw his little wife. She was throwing a tantrum. It turned out that she had not been joking. She really wanted to hit her love rival. He quickly went forward to hug his little wife. When Fang Xiaonuan saw the man behind her, she felt a lump in her throat and cried, ¡°Hubby¡­ Someone is bullying me.¡± Everyone present was speechless. Many people testified that Lin Rou was the one who started the fight. In the end, Mr. Lin and Lin Rou, who had been beaten beyond recognition, were ruthlessly kicked out of the banquet. Ji Lingchen even publicly announced that he would be irreconcble with the Lin family from now on. The Ji family would no longer exist in the same social circles as the Lin family. If the Ji family was there, the Lin family must disappear! At this point, everyone could clearly see the situation. The Lin family was finished. At this banquet, Fang Xiaonuan was on fire. Other than Ji Lingchen¡¯s amazing pampering, the crowd was even more surprised that a petite and cute-looking youngdy could hit someone so ruthlessly! After this incident, Feng Qi med herself and kept crying. After Fang Xiaonuan was doneforting Feng Qi, she went to see her parents. ¡°Dad, how¡¯s your waist? Does it hurt?¡± Mr. Fang said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. You¡¯re not that heavy. I just touched you a little. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Ji Lingchen knew that his wife was worried, so he quickly said, ¡°Dad,e with me to the washroom. Let me see. Xiaonuan and Mom can wait outside for a while.¡± Fang Xiaonuan pushed her father into the washroom. ¡°Xiaonuan, what kind of animosity do you share with the Lin family?¡± Mrs. Fang finally had the chance to question her daughter. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°It¡¯s a long story. In short, Mom, our family shouldn¡¯t have any contact with the Lin family. Their family isn¡¯t decent.¡± After a while, Ji Lingchen brought his father-inw out. Then, he walked to his wife¡¯s side and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Dad is fine.¡± However, Fang Xiaonuan was still worried. ¡°Dad and Mom, you guys should leave first. Go to the hospital to get an X-ray. What if there¡¯s underlying damage to your bones?¡± Mrs. Fang could not argue with her daughter, so after exining the situation to the Chen family, they left the banquet early. Fang Xiaonuan wanted to leave as well, but she was the Ji family¡¯s daughter-inw and could not leave. She could only stand at the door and watch her parents leave. As she returned to the banquet hall, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s husband was on her left, and her sister-inw was on her right. Right now, no one dared to let her run around on her own. Moreover, after the previous incident, no one dared to take the initiative to talk to her. Many people who wanted to use her to get to the Ji family suppressed their desires. The banquet went on as usual. It was as if nothing had happened. Ji Lingchen sent a message to his nephew. Ji Wen was lying on the bed when he suddenly received a message. ¡°Follow Mr. Lin.¡± Then, he quickly called Murong. ¡°Uncle Murong, it¡¯s Xiaowen.¡± ¡­ The banquet officially started, and Mr. Chen went on stage to give a speech. Fang Xiaonuan continued to eat the food at the banquet. As she ate, she suddenly realized that Feng Qi had been looking in a certain direction. She followed her gaze and saw someone who looked a little familiar. He had called Feng Qi¡¯s attention away. Fang Xiaonuan turned around and looked at her sister-inw. Feng Qi was stunned for a moment, then stammered, ¡°H-he¡­ Xiaonuan. There¡¯s something I need to do. Stay with Lingchen. Don¡¯t run around!¡± With that, she walked towards the man. Fang Xiaonuan did not think too much about it and continued to eat. After eating sixrge puffs and three small cakes, she said to her husband, ¡°Hubby, there are only desserts here. I want to eat something salty.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take you to the Chinese restaurant,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Then, the two of them walked to the other side, hand in hand. Suddenly, Fang Xiaonuan stopped in her tracks and pointed. ¡°Hubby, that¡¯s sister-inw, right?¡± Ji Lingchen nced in that direction and understood. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll take you to eat something.¡± Chapter 314 - 314 Feng Qi’s Past 314 Feng Qi¡¯s Past Fang Xiaonuan was no longer in the mood to eat. How could she stand by while her sister-inw got bullied? Just as she was about to walk over, Ji Lingchen stopped her. Then, she saw the man p Feng Qi hard. Ji Lingchen did not say anything. He pulled his wife to a corner and hid. Fang Xiaonuan clenched her fists tightly, but her husband pulled her away. ¡°Ugh, hubby, someone is hurting sister-inw. I¡¯m going to avenge her. Let go of me and I¡¯ll beat that b*stard up!¡± ¡°Xiaonuan, have care for her pride,¡± Ji Lingchen said in a low voice. Fang Xiaonuan then understood that this was her sister-inw¡¯s most embarrassing moment. She cared a lot about her reputation, so if Fang Xiaonuan saw her like this, she would definitely feel even worse. Ji Lingchen saw that his kitten had quieted down, so he patted her back. The two of them listened quietly. ¡°Feng Qi, I¡¯m your father. You have to take care of me when I¡¯m old and after I die. I¡¯m in the hospital, but you haven¡¯t visited me. You even let that kid, Ji Wen, anger me. Do you not care about me? Whether you believe it or not, I¡¯ll go into City Hall tomorrow and let everyone see what kind of person the mayoress is. I¡¯ll show them that she doesn¡¯t even care about her own father!¡± Feng Qi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. ¡°My husband¡¯s family is here. If you touch me again, they won¡¯t let you off!¡± Feng Qi¡¯s father spat on her face. ¡°Bah! You little b*stard, you only achieved your current status because of me. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t thank me for it, but now you don¡¯t even want to acknowledge me?¡± Seeing that Feng Qi had been holding back, Fang Xiaonuan could not take it anymore. ¡°Hubby, let me go. I¡¯ll go stab that old man to death!¡± She had a knife in her bag that she had brought for her love rival. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± Ji Lingchen said as he hugged his wife. Feng Qi could not take her father¡¯s insults and said angrily, ¡°Enough! What do you want?¡± Mr. Feng and the man beside him looked at each other. ¡°It¡¯s almost the new year. You have to give me a million yuan as a token of respect. Your brother has been in some trouble recently and needs four million yuan. I want to receive five million yuan by tomorrow. Otherwise, I¡¯ll go into the City Hall!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have five million!¡± ¡°Shut up,¡± the other man said. ¡°You¡¯re the young mistress of the Ji family. You have so much pocket money. Can¡¯t you take out five million? You want me to hit you, don¡¯t you?¡± Feng Qi looked at the man. ¡°Feng Hai, I don¡¯t work. My husband is the one who gives me the money. I want to keep the Ji family¡¯s money for my son. Don¡¯t you dare take it away!¡± ¡°I advise you to stop pestering me. Thirteen years ago, my husband¡¯s family could make you lose everything, and we can do the same now!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you were pregnant with the Ji family¡¯s child. Do you think you still have the ability to do that now?¡± Mr. Fengughed contemptuously. ¡°Now that Ji Lingchen has a wife, would he still care about you? Listen, if you can¡¯t get the five million by tomorrow, I¡¯ll go to the City Hall and make a scene. Also, you should keep your son indoors, or I¡¯ll hire a hitman to beat him up!¡± After that, the two of them turned around and left. Feng Hai pointed at Feng Qi before he left and said, ¡°Five million. If you don¡¯t pay up, I¡¯ll target your son. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you. Ji Wen would be gone, and you won¡¯t be able to give birth to another child in this lifetime!¡± Feng Qi trembled with anger. She really wanted to fight with her family. After the two of them left, she seemed to have lost all her strength. She leaned against the wall, slowly slid down, and crouched on the ground. Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart ached for her. She wanted to go up andfort her sister-inw, but her husband stopped her. She knew what her husband wanted, so she could only leave. When they returned to the living room, Ji Lingchen told his wife that the two people earlier were Feng Qi¡¯s father and her half-brother. Back when Old Master Ji was still a government official, the Feng family had arranged a marriage with the Ji family in order to curry favor with Old Master Ji. They had wanted to marry the youngdy of the Feng family to Ji Kangde. Butter, Old Master Ji was framed, and the Feng family wanted to call off the engagement. Although Old Master Ji was disappointed, he still agreed to it. After that, the country proved his father¡¯s innocence and even wanted to promote him. When the Feng family heard this, they went back to discuss the marriage again. In the end, Old Master Ji abandoned his position in the government and went into business. The Feng family wavered again. However, the news of the marriage between the two families had been released, and the Feng family could not break off the marriage again. On the day of the wedding, the eldest daughter of the Feng family ran away and let Feng Qi, their illegitimate daughter, marry in her ce. She used to live a hard life with her mother. It was Old Master Feng who could not stand it and brought her back to the Feng family. However, her status in the Feng family was lower than a servant¡¯s. It was only after she married into the Ji family that her life became better. Of course, the Ji family could also tell that Feng Qi was not the Feng family¡¯s eldest daughter. It was Mrs. Ji who went to ask her daughter-inw about it. After knowing what had happened to her, the Ji family did not despise her. Instead, they all felt sorry for her. After that, she stayed. Later on, Ji Kangde rose up step by step, and Feng Qi became pregnant. Not long after, Mrs. Ji also had Ji Xiaoyu. Chapter 315 - 315 Drunkard 315 Drunkard After finding out about her sister-inw, Fang Xiaonuan¡¯s heart ached even more. She wished she could go and beat up the two b*stards who had bullied her. ¡°Xiaonuan,¡± Ji Lingchen said sternly, ¡°You¡¯ve already fought today. You can¡¯t fight anymore.¡± Fang Xiaonuan was extremely depressed, so she went to eat something. After eating one serving of foie gras, she suddenly felt sick of it. She picked up a ss of wine and said, ¡°This should be red wine. The alcohol content isn¡¯t high, so it should be fine to drink a little.¡± After she finished speaking, she looked at the wine in the ss. ¡°One cup is too little. Give me more.¡± As she spoke, she poured three sses of wine into one ss and drank it all in one gulp. ¡°Xiaonuan!¡± By the time Ji Lingchen saw it, it was already toote. After finishing her drink, Fang Xiaonuan stuck out her tongue. ¡®This wine must be expired. It tastes so bad!¡¯ Ji Lingchen looked at his wife¡¯s blushing face. In the time it took him to speak, his little wife had already finished the entire ss. After a while, Fang Xiaonuan was drunk. ¡°Hubby, my feet hurt. I don¡¯t want to wear high heels anymore!¡± ¡°Hubby, where¡¯s my love rival?¡± ¡°Hubby, why do you have three heads again?¡± Ji Lingchen hugged his babbling wife. He could not stay here any longer, so he quickly brought her home. After finally rinsing her mouth and coaxing her into bed, Fang Xiaonuan still refused to go to sleep. ¡°Honey, can I touch your chest?¡± ¡°You¡¯re always touching mine, so why can¡¯t I touch yours?¡± ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s have a baby!¡± After a long time, Fang Xiaonuan finally fell asleep on her husband¡¯s shoulder. Ji Lingchen swore that he would never let his little wife touch a drop of wine again! ¡­ The next morning, when Fang Xiaonuan woke up, she remembered something embarrassing. She was dumbfounded. Did she act like a hooligan towards her husbandst night? ¡°Xiaonuan, do you still want to have children with me now?¡± Ji Lingchen took the opportunity to tease his wife. Fang Xiaonuan was so embarrassed that she buried her head in the nket. Ji Lingchen went to the study to work, and Fang Xiaonuan, who had nothing better to do, went downstairs to the living room. She happened to see Feng Qi leaving the residence. She hurriedly ran to her husband¡¯s study and was about to push the door open when Ji Wen came out. Fang Xiaonuan pulled on his hand. Ji Wen shook Fang Xiaonuan off. ¡°I¡¯m not going. I¡¯m not going. If you have something to say, go look for your husband.¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°The Feng family asked sister-inw for five million yuan yesterday. She just left the house alone!¡± Ji Wen understood the severity of the matter and quickly ran towards the door. Fang Xiaonuan followed. Ji Wen started the car, and Fang Xiaonuan fastened her seat belt. Seeing how nervous her nephew was, she said to him, ¡°My husband told me about sister-inwst night.¡± Ji Wen nodded and asked, ¡°Did that b*stard hit my mom yesterday?¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied, ¡°He hit her, and even scolded her.¡± Ji Wen¡¯s grip on the steering wheel tightened. He stepped on the elerator and drove all the way to the Feng residence. However, Feng Qi¡¯s car was not there. Fang Xiaonuan was about to get out of the car when Ji Wen pulled her back. ¡°My mom isn¡¯t here. Let¡¯s go.¡± After a while, Ji Wen brought Fang Xiaonuan to the entrance of a coffee shop. It turned out that Feng Qi knew that it was dangerous to go to the Feng family¡¯s house. Therefore, she would meet them at the same coffee shop every time she needed to speak to them. Feng Qi had invested in the coffee shop, so her personal safety would not be threatened if she came here. The two of them soon saw Feng Qi. She was sitting opposite Mr. Feng and his son. She took out 50000 yuan in cash and put it on the table. The two people opposite her were furious. They stood up and were about to hit her, but the staff stopped them. ¡°I want five million!¡± Feng Hai pointed at Feng Qi and scolded her. ¡°You¡¯re only giving me fifty thousand? Are you trying to send off a beggar?!¡± Seeing that Feng Qi was fine, both Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen heaved sighs of relief. Ji Wen then told Fang Xiaonuan more about the Feng family. It turned out that Feng Hai was also an illegitimate child, but because he was a son, Mr. Feng took him home very early on. When Feng Qi married into the Ji family, the Feng family was not kind to the Ji family. It was not until Ji Kangde was promoted and became the director of the Jing City Finance Bureau that he began to target the Feng family. He deliberately dyed the Feng family¡¯s two-billion yuan transaction and did not sign it. In the end, the Feng family lost the business. The Feng family had suffered a great loss and knew that they had to hold on to their son-inw. The Feng family quickly acknowledged Feng Qi. They even repeatedly asked Feng Qi to go home and asked her to put in a good word for them during pillow talk with her husband. However, Feng Qi did not agree. She was pregnant with her second child at that time, and Feng Hai pped her so hard that she fell to the ground. Ji Wen was still young at the time, but that image was deeply engraved into his memory. After returning home, Ji Wen cried and told his father that his mother had been beaten. Ji Wen did not know what happened after that. He only remembered that not long after, Feng Hai knelt in front of Feng Qi and begged her to let the Feng family go. Chapter 316 - 316 Entering Prison Again 316 Entering Prison Again Since then, the Feng family had suffered a disastrous decline. Ji Kangde¡¯s revenge had caused the Feng family to frequently lose big deals. Naturally, the Feng family would not give up. They yed tricks behind the scenes and wanted to get Ji Kangde transferred. However, after Ji Kangde left the finance bureau, he became the mayor of Jing City. Ji Kangde did not show any mercy to the Feng family, and soon after, the Feng family dered bankruptcy. ¡°So big brother made the Feng family bankrupt to exact revenge on behalf of sister-inw?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ji Wen shook his head. ¡°He did that because my mother miscarried.¡± It was only then that Fang Xiaonuan realized the most crucial problem. Her sister-inw only had one child, Ji Wen. This was because of the Feng family. !! Ji Wen continued, ¡°The real Ms. Feng came back. She was moved by my father¡¯s actions. In addition, my father treated my mother very well, and my mother had the Ji Corporation to back her up. She was envious. She felt that my mother had taken away the happiness that was rightfully hers. She began to act dangerously. Once, when my mom went back to the Feng residence, she put an abortion drug in my mom¡¯s food. Not only did she kill the child, but she also almost killed my mom. The Feng family did not allow my mom to go to the hospital, and confiscated her cell phone. They locked her up and left her to fend for herself.¡± In the end, Ji Kangde found out that his wife was not home and went to the Feng residence to look for her. However, the Feng family insisted that Feng Qi was not there. At that time, Ji Xiaoyu had already gone missing, and Feng Qi was in charge of the entire Ji family. Her pregnancy was the only happy event in the Ji family. Old Master Ji knew that his daughter-inw was missing, so he asked Old Master Feng about it. Seeing that he could not keep it a secret anymore, Old Master Feng told them that Feng Qi was locked in the basement. By the time Ji Kangde found his wife, her legs were bloodstained. The blood had dried up on her clothes. She waspletely pale and cold. She looked dead. Fortunately, Feng Qi was saved, but the child she was carrying did not make it. The Ji family went crazy and targeted the Feng family, causing them to go bankrupt. Ms. Feng was arrested for attempted murder, and Mrs. Feng was also under the Ji family¡¯s control because she wanted to save her daughter. Only Mr. Feng and his son escaped overseas. They stayed away from the Ji family. In the end, it was the terminally ill Old Master Feng who pleaded with Feng Qi. She agreed to let the father and son of the Feng family off on ount of her grandfather¡¯s care for her. Fang Xiaonuan cried. She had not expected her sister-inw to have gone through so much. She had been used by Mr. Feng and his son! In the shop, Feng Qi had made the father and son of the Feng family so angry that they had snatched the money from off the table. They pointed at Feng Qi and scolded her before leaving the coffee shop. ¡°Ji Wen, drive. Chase after them,¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. ¡­ At home, Ji Lingchen noticed that his wife had disappeared for the entire morning. He thought that she had gone to y with her nephew, so he did not press the issue. However, it was after lunchtime now, and Ji Wen and his wife still were not back. ¡°Where¡¯s Xiaonuan?¡± he asked one of the maids. ¡°The young madam and young master went out together. They haven¡¯t returned yet,¡± the maid replied. Ji Lingchen had a bad feeling about this. In the afternoon, his phone rang. It was his little wife. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Ji Lingchen could tell from her tone of voice that his wife was in trouble again. ¡°Tell me. Who did you put in the hospital this time?¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. How did her husband know that she had hit someone again? ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m not in the hospital. Come to the police station and bail me out!¡± Ji Lingchen chuckled. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen met Ji Xiaoyu at the police station. It turned out that Liu Siyan was concerned that his younger sister was staying at home too much. He brought her outside because he wanted her to get some sun. Who knew that she would meet her two good friends who had justmitted a crime? The two of them had gone to the casino and caused a ruckus, forcing an underground casino to call the police. Liu Siyan was interrogating the people at the casino. ¡°Why did you two wreck the casino?¡± Ji Xiaoyu asked. ¡°We weren¡¯t going to wreck the ce. We were going to beat some people up,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. ¡°Who?¡± Ji Xiaoyu asked curiously. ¡°The father and son from the Feng family,¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. After that, Ji Wen and Fang Xiaonuan telling Ji Xiaoyu about the pair¡¯s evil deeds. After hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu was furious. ¡°You guys are mean. How could you leave me out of this? You should have brought me along to hunt the two Feng family dogs!¡± ¡°Xiaoyu,e over here for a moment!¡± Liu Siyan said. He had just exited the interrogation room. He regretted bringing his sister outside today. After a while, Ji Lingchen arrived. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, quickly get me out of here.¡± ¡°Xiaoyu, you went to fight with them too?¡± Ji Lingchen asked when he saw his sister. ¡°Brother, Xiaonuan is so mean. She didn¡¯t ask me to join the fight!¡± Ji Xiaoyu said. Ji Lingchen chuckled. ¡°Xiaoyu, go y with the girl in forensics,¡± Liu Siyan said. ¡°No!¡± Ji Xiaoyu said. Liu Siyan had no choice but to let his sister listen in. He questioned Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen. ¡°You two robbed the Feng father and son?¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t. That¡¯s my sister-inw¡¯s money. I¡¯m just returning it to its rightful owner.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his troublemaker of a wife. Fang Xiaonuan was embarrassed by her husband¡¯s stare. ¡°Hubby, you said yesterday that I could only fight once a day, so I endured it until today.¡± Ji Lingchen felt helpless when he heard how obedient and well-behaved his wife was trying to be. Chapter 317 - 317 Robbery 317 Robbery Liu Siyan told Ji Lingchen what had happened. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen had followed the Feng father and son to a privately operated casino. The police had searched it several times but had not caught them. Now, Fang Xiaonuan had caused a ruckus and had directly called the police. The two of them went to the casino to ask the Feng father and son for the money back. The father and son refused to give up the money and even wanted to fight with Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen. In the end, the father and son were restrained and beaten up. They also lost the money. ording to the people at the casino, Fang Xiaonuan had broken four automatic Mahjong machines and a water dispenser, causing the casino to lose 12000 yuan. She had even injured three staff members. They were now being treated in the hospital. She had also injured two guests by mistake, and they were also in the hospital now. Fang Xiaonuan had twisted Mr. Feng and his son¡¯s arms out of ce, and they could not move right now. Feng Hai had lost a tooth too. The two of them were being detained separately. When he heard what happened, Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife. His little kitten was really fierce when she got angry. Ji Xiaoyu was excited upon hearing all this. ¡°It¡¯s so spectacr. It¡¯s too bad that I wasn¡¯t there to witness it myself!¡± Her two brothers red at her at the same time. Ji Xiaoyu was at a loss for words after that. !! The two of them were bailed out. Then, Ji Xiaoyu followed them back to the Ji family¡¯s residence. Fang Xiaonuan was just about to conspire with her two good friends when her husband pulled her back into the room. Fang Xiaonuan struggled the entire way. ¡°Dear husband, your kitten understands her mistake. Please pardon me!¡± Ji Lingchen decided that in order for his little wife to stay at home obediently, he had to make her tired. He would make her sleep in for days. She would have to catch up on sleep all the time! The next day, in order to prevent the three-person team from causing more trouble, Ji Lingchen brought Ji Wen to the office. Ji Xiaoyu was at a loss for words. ¡®So, you¡¯re leaving me alone?¡¯ Fortunately, her father could y with her at home. The father and daughter could improve their rtionship by ying games together. Old Master Ji also told her many things about her childhood. However, this was a special mission that had been given to Old Master Jist night. In order to prevent the three-person team from causing trouble, Ji Lingchen had deliberately asked his father to watch over Ji Xiaoyu. Meanwhile, he took Ji Wen away. However, in the afternoon, when Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Xiaoyu met up, they knew that something was wrong. Furthermore, they knew that Old Master Ji was a spy, so the two of them secretly plotted to prompt Old Master Ji to rebel. At night, Ji Xiaoyu told Ji Wen the n. Fang Xiaonuan was in charge of stalling while the other two went to Old Master Ji¡¯s room to tell him about the things Mr. Feng and his son had done. Old Master Ji was sessfully persuaded to defect. The next morning, Ji Xiaoyu said that her grandfather had terminal cancer and she wanted to visit him. At the hospital, her grandfather, who had almost recovered, was listening to opera and peeling oranges. Fang Xiaonuan had also argued with her husband on purpose. She left a letter, iming that she would be returning to her parents¡¯ home. Ji Lingchen was about to take his nephew to the office when Old Master Ji stopped him. ¡°Xiaowen can stay at home. I have something to discuss with him.¡± ¡°What do you need him for?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t he just be here to entertain me?¡± Old Master Ji asked. Old Master Ji sessfully sent his son off. Then, Ji Wen also drove away from the Ji family¡¯s residence. The three of them met at the breakfast cafe. They bought three cups of soy milk, and two trays of buns. They were free! When he reached thepany, CEO Ji felt that something was amiss. Suddenly, he thought of something and called Liu Siyan. ¡°Hey, I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Is your grandfather terminal?¡± Ji Lingchen asked. ¡°Did Xiaoyu run away?¡± Liu Siyan guessed. After hanging up, Ji Lingchen called his father-inw. ¡°Dad, has Xiaonuan returned home?¡± ¡°No, she didn¡¯t say she wasing back,¡± Mr. Fang replied. ¡°My wife ran away too,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. He called the butler. ¡°Is Xiaowen still at home?¡± ¡°He drove away as soon as you left,¡± the butler replied. ¡°Forget it. All three of them ran away,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. The three-person team was currently strolling around the Feng residence. ¡°Xiaonuan, I think the vase looks pretty good!¡± As she spoke, Ji Xiaoyu smacked an antique vase down, and it shattered into pieces. Fang Xiaonuan was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. She was holding a stack of documents. ¡°Ugh, you want to file awsuit?¡± After she dislocated their arms thest time, the Feng father and son were so scared that they did not even dare to breathe. Fang Xiaonuan flipped through a few pages and read it out loud, ¡°Female: Feng Qi. Did not fulfil her obligations of providing for her parents. Son-inw: Ji Kangde. Beaten his father-inw many times. Tsk tsk, you write well. Did you pay someone to write theseints? How much did you spend? 200 yuan?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she tore it up. Ji Xiaoyu had broken most of the valuable items in the house. She went straight to the kitchen and took out a fruit knife. ¡°Xiaonuan, I think this looks pretty good. Do you think it can be used to stab people?¡± The Feng father and son were so frightened that their pupils contracted. ¡°Murder! Murder is illegal. You¡¯d have to pay with your lives!¡± Ji Xiaoyu deliberately waved the knife in front of them. ¡°Who said that? Back when my sister-inw was pregnant, you guys killed the child in her womb. Aren¡¯t you guys still alive and well now?¡± She took a few steps closer. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t fight. So, I have to use weapons.¡± ¡°You brat! Who are you?¡± Mr. Feng asked, trembling. ¡°I¡¯m Ji Xiaoyu!¡± Ji Xiaoyu said with a smile. Chapter 318 - 318 Wreaking Havoc in the Feng Family 318 Wreaking Havoc in the Feng Family ¡°That¡¯s impossible! Ji Xiaoyu died fifteen years ago!¡± Mr. Feng blurted out. Fang Xiaonuan furrowed her brows. Why was Mr. Feng so sure that Ji Xiaoyu was dead? She walked behind Feng Hai and kicked him in the leg, causing him to kneel on the ground. ¡°Xiaowen, you¡¯ll hit him the same way he hit my sister-inw back then!¡± Ji Wen walked over and pped Feng Hai, causing him to fall to the ground. After the p, his palm was burning. He had long wanted to p Feng Hai ruthlessly, and today, he finally had the chance! Feng Hai was just about to get up when Ji Wen punched his teeth again. Feng Hai¡¯s lips immediately started bleeding. Fang Xiaonuan looked at Mr. Feng in horror. ¡°Why did you say Ji Xiaoyu died? How did she die?¡± Old Master Ji had told her before that Ji Xiaoyu¡¯s funeral had not been held. For so many years, no one except Old Master Ji and the butler knew that Ji Xiaoyu was ¡°dead¡±. So, how did he know? Mr. Feng knew that he had let the cat out of the bag. He quickly shook his head. ¡°I-I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took another look at Feng Hai, who had been beaten beyond recognition. Then, she turned to Mr. Feng and said, ¡°Do you want to end up like your son? I can give you that!¡± After that, Mr. Feng and his son¡¯s cries for help filled the Feng family¡¯s living room. Twenty minutester, Liu Siyan received a notice to dispatch the police. ¡°Captain Liu, the father and son of the Feng family encountered three robbers who broke into their house and assaulted them.¡± Liu Siyan put down his teacup and turned to his subordinates, who were preparing to rush out with the police. He said, ¡°Have a seat, I can go by myself.¡± ¡°Captain, there are three people on the other side. Should you go alone? Why don¡¯t I go with you?¡± Liu Siyan¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°It should be a neighborhood dispute. I¡¯ll go by myself. None of you need to follow me.¡± The operator recalled the cries for help that came from the phone just now. ¡°It didn¡¯t sound like a neighborhood dispute.¡± But Liu Siyan still went out alone. Fang Xiaonuan had smashed the bathroom window¡¯s ss. She had climbed through the window and entered the house that way. She had knocked the phone out of Mr. Feng¡¯s hand, pressed him into the sink, turned on the tap, and doused his head with cold water. The phone had been smashed to pieces and was lying on the ground. Feng Hai was left to Ji Wen and Ji Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaonuan asked, ¡°Back then, your family was huge, and you had a business. Without a backer, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to achieve that kind of sess, right? Tell me. Who¡¯s your backer?¡± Mr. Feng shook his head under the water. Fang Xiaonuan gave him some time, then pulled his head out from under the water. She could not really kill him. After a while, three cars arrived at the Feng family¡¯s house, and four people got out. As soon as she entered, Feng Qi saw Ji Xiaoyu holding a fruit knife and pointing it at Feng Hai¡¯s eyes, threatening to blind him. Ji Wen was also punching and kicking him from the side. Ji Kangde quickly tried to cover his wife¡¯s eyes, but Feng Qi stopped him. ¡°Where¡¯s Xiaonuan?¡± Ji Lingchen started looking for his little wife the moment he entered. Ji Wen and Ji Xiaoyu pointed in the right direction. Ji Lingchen walked over and kicked the door open. Fang Xiaonuan was startled, but when she saw that her husband had arrived, she greeted him with a smile, ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re here to protect me!¡± CEO Ji¡¯s temples were throbbing in anger. Feng Qi also ran over and saw the tragic scene. Mr. Feng was scared. Fang Xiaonuan and tortured him. He did not even have the strength to escape. He sat on the ground, practically paralyzed, and begged the police toe quickly. Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re here too. Look, Xiaoyu, Xiaowen, and I have helped you vent your anger!¡± Feng Qi¡¯s eyes turned red when she heard her words. She walked over and hugged Fang Xiaonuan. ¡°Silly child. Why did you provoke them?¡± ¡°Sister-inw, we are using violence to curb violence. It¡¯s useless to reason with people like them. Only people like me can deal with them!¡± Fang Xiaonuan said. Ji Lingchen separated the two of them, then pulled his little wife¡¯s hand and walked out with her. In the living room, Liu Siyan had confiscated Ji Xiaoyu¡¯s fruit knife. Liu Siyan was trembling with anger. She pointed at Ji Xiaoyu and asked, ¡°Do you want to go to jail?¡± Ji Xiaoyu shook her head, not afraid at all. ¡°No.¡± Ji Wen¡¯s father pulled him aside. When he saw his son¡¯s red knuckles, he wanted to scold him, but he could not open his mouth. He even wanted to praise his son. The three-person group stood side by side with their heads lowered, like students waiting for their teacher¡¯s rebuke. ¡°Who came up with this idea?¡± Ji Wen and Ji Xiaoyu pointed at Fang Xiaonuan at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan nced around and simply pointed at herself. ¡°Xiaonuan, are you trying to give me a heart attack?¡± CEO Ji¡¯s head hurt even more. The Feng father and son were also waiting for the police toe and uphold justice for them, but the four people who came were obviously in cahoots! Liu Siyan had already changed out of his police uniform in the car. In the end, Ji Lingchen said, ¡°Educate your own family.¡± Then, he took his wife away. Feng Qi and Mayor Ji took their son away. Before Liu Siyan could pick his sister up, Ji Xiaoyu put her hand into his. ¡°Brother, I¡¯m yours. Take me away.¡± Chapter 319 - 319 Breakthrough 319 Breakthrough Ji Lingchen did not bring his little wife back to the Ji family¡¯s residence. Instead, he went straight to Spirit Creek Vi. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the familiar white building and refused to get out of the car no matter what. Ji Lingchen lost his patience and carried her into the living room, throwing her on the sofa. ¡°Sit down!¡± Fang Xiaonuan scrambled to the corner of the sofa. This ce was unlike the Ji family¡¯s residence. There was no one to back her up here. There was no one else in Spirit Creek Vi, and no one would care what her husband did to her. An idea came to her mind, and she quickly said, ¡°Hubby, the Feng family knows about Xiaoyu¡¯s death fifteen years ago. Today, they said with great certainty that Xiaoyu died fifteen years ago. But Dad has kept this matter a secret. You and big brother didn¡¯t even know about it, so how could they know? Something is amiss!¡± She told him about this to quickly divert his attention, so that he would not hit her. In the end, Ji Lingchen did not fall for it at all. He merely narrowed his eyes, then his expression returned to normal. He approached Fang Xiaonuan step by step, and pulled her back to the middle of the sofa. Fang Xiaonuan struggled with all her might. ¡°Hubby, I was wrong. I won¡¯t do it again. I¡¯m your only wife. If you kill me, you¡¯ll have wasted so much money!¡± ¡°I¡¯m rich!¡± Ji Lingchen replied. ¡°Didn¡¯t you run away from home? Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re going back to your parents¡¯ house? What did you promise me yesterday?¡± Fang Xiaonuan said, ¡°Hubby, that was just a little trick I yed so I could get out of the house. You¡¯re so smart. You must know how much I love you!¡± Ji Lingchen was helpless. He sat on the sofa and asked, ¡°Are you hurt?¡± ¡°No.¡± Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. ¡°Those two pieces of trash from the Feng family are no match for me at all.¡± Ji Lingchen looked at his triumphant little wife and sighed. He got up to get a cup of hot water and handed it to her. ¡°Thank you, hubby.¡± Fang Xiaonuan took a sip of water and said, ¡°Hubby, I really suspect that the Feng father and son have something to do with the kidnapping from fifteen years ago.¡± Fifteen years ago, when his eldest brother was working in the finance bureau, the Feng family had already started to decline, while the Ji family was on the rise. First of all, the two families werepetitors. Moreover, the Feng family¡¯spany was big back then. Even if the marriage with the Ji family did not work out, they likely had a backer behind them. Besides, the Lin family started to rise right after the Feng family went bankrupt. There must be a driving force behind this. Ji Lingchen had already guessed this, and his wife¡¯s words confirmed some of his suspicions. He looked at his wife, who was as soft as a kitten in his arms, and said, ¡°In the future, if you want to fight again, you must tell me in advance, okay? And you¡¯re only allowed to win, not lose. And you¡¯re not allowed to get injured!¡± ¡°Got it!¡± Fang Xiaonuan replied. Meanwhile, the father and son of the Feng family helped each other up. After these two incidents, they understood that going against the Ji family would only lead to a miserable death. At this moment, a man came to the house. The man took out a check and handed it over. ¡°Here¡¯s 5 million yuan. Don¡¯t evere back after you leave Jing City. If you agree, I¡¯ll send you off now.¡± Mr. Feng and his son looked at each other and took the check. They really could not stay here any longer, or they would lose their lives. A few dayster, Liu Siyan¡¯s investigation showed some results. The Lin group had raised 2 billion from abroad and sessfully survived the crisis of a cash flow rupture. Furthermore, a senior executive in the political world had brought him out to discuss business. That executive was the Feng family¡¯s former backer, Secretary Gao. After receiving the results of the investigation, he called Ji Lingchen immediately. ¡°Deputy Director Xi is also Secretary Gao¡¯s student.¡± ¡°Then, that¡¯s right. Secretary Gao is the one who saved Director Xi,¡± Ji Lingchen replied. Looking at the information in front of him, Liu Siyan went straight to the point and said, ¡°The police have been investigating based on my spections. Although they¡¯ve found a lot of things, this evidence is not enough to arrest Director Xi. Now that the Lin family has recovered, if they still protect Director Xi, we won¡¯t be able to do anything to them, even considering my dad¡¯s position. If we can¡¯t catch him now, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll be even more difficult in the future¡­¡± Ji Lingchen understood that Liu Siyan was asking him for help. ¡°I can suppress the Lin family in the business world so that they don¡¯t have time to care about other things. I should be able to buy you some time.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Liu Siyan replied. ¡­ A few dayster, the Lin family arranged to sign a contract with the Song family in a high-profile manner. It was not a good idea to invite reporters to the contract signing ceremony. However, this was a historical moment. Mr. Lin wanted to use this opportunity to tell everyone in the business world that the Lin family could still survive, and even prosper, even though they were targeted by the Ji family! The signing ceremony began. He first spoke passionately on stage for a long time. Then, it finally came to the most crucial part: the signing of the contract. Everyone at the scene was anticipating this moment. The reporters were also ready to shoot. However, the moment that the representative of Song Corporation picked up the pen, he suddenly received a call. Mr. Lin suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw the change in the man¡¯s expression. Chapter 320-End - 320 A Family of Four 320 A Family of Four In the end, the representative of Song Corporation only said, ¡°Understood.¡± Then, he hung up the phone. He stood up and bowed to Mr. Lin, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Lin. Thepany¡¯s ns have changed. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t proceed with the contract signing today.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mr. Lin¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Didn¡¯t we have a good discussion before?¡± ¡°Mr. Lin, if you have any questions, you can contact our president,¡± the representative said. With that, he quickly left the scene and even ignored the reporters¡¯ attempts to get interviews. The crowd was buzzing with guesses. It suddenly became very noisy. Mr. Lin, who was still on the stage, was so embarrassed that he flipped the table over. Then, two police officers suddenly rushed onto the stage and took him away. He was still in a daze. The scene was chaotic. Meanwhile, Secretary Gao, who was ying chess and drinking tea in the teahouse, was also suddenly taken away. Unlike Mr. Lin, the person who took him away was from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. A monthter, the two were sentenced separately. Mr. Lin was sentenced to 10 years in prison for bribery, illegal fundraising, and illegal detention. Secretary Gao was sentenced to life in prison for taking bribes, a huge amount of corruption, abuse of power, illegal fundraising, and other crimes. It turned out that Liu Siyan had found a shellpany under Secretary Gao¡¯s brother-inw¡¯s name, and found concrete evidence of Secretary Gao¡¯s crimes. Although it did not cover all of his crimes, it was a very good breakthrough. After that, with the efforts of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, more and more evidence of Secretary Gao¡¯s crimes turned up. It was enough to sentence him. Secretary Gao had also confessed that 15 years ago, he had threatened and bribed the forensic doctor to falsify the test results. He was also the one who had ordered the Lin family to carry out the kidnapping. He had aimed to control the Ji family. The Feng family should have taken care of this, but they had wanted to curry favor with the Ji family through Feng Qi¡¯s marriage. Therefore, they had not agreed. After that, Secretary Gao stopped supporting the Feng family and became the Lin family¡¯s backer. They were easier to control. Director Lin wanted to be rich even in his dreams. That year, they nned to kidnap Ji Wen and take him back to the Ji family a few dayster to get in the Ji family¡¯s good books. However, because Ji Lingchen protected his nephew, they only managed to kidnap Ji Xiaoyu. Ji Xiaoyu even identally saw their faces. Just as they were about to kill her, Ji Xiaoyu jumped into the sea. A five-year-old child falling into the sea had almost no chance of survival. After two days of searching, they could not find the body. Instead, they found the body of a little girl who had just died. She was wearing the same clothes and shoes as Ji Xiaoyu. They also found the report from the forensic doctor. Who knew that fifteen yearster, Ji Xiaoyu woulde back alive? Ever since Mr. Lin was arrested, Lin Rou had disappeared. Because the assets were frozen, Lin Rou could not take many things with her. It was said that when the assets of the Lin family were seized, all the bags in the vi were found to have disappeared along with Lin Rou. The Ji family was overjoyed when they found out that those two had been arrested. They had finally gotten their revenge and the fifteen years of darkness had finally dissipated. They could finally live a good life. This became the best New Year¡¯s gift the Ji family had ever received. On New Year¡¯s Eve, the Ji family and the Liu family all gathered at the Ji family¡¯s residence. The mansion was decorated with lights. The atmosphere was filled withughter and excitement. Fang Xiaonuan was in the kitchen, wearing an apron and ring at a fish. She had recently learned how to cook a new dish, and was preparing to kill the fish. Although she never had to blink when she hit people, she was actually stumped by a living fish. The moment she stabbed the fish¡¯s body and saw the blood, she fainted. The whole family panicked, and quickly called the family¡¯s doctor. When Fang Xiaonuan woke up, the entire family was looking at her. They were smiling. ¡°Honey, what¡¯s wrong with me?¡± Ji Lingchen¡¯s eyes were red as he held his wife¡¯s hand. ¡°Xiaonuan, we have a little tiger!¡± Fang Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was pregnant! ¡­ Her due date was approaching, and the small Fang Xiaonuan now had a huge belly. ¡°Hubby, did you get your things?¡± CEO Ji, who had always been calm and collected, was now very antsy. He was running back and forth through the house. ¡°Wait! Xiaonuan, I haven¡¯t gotten you a nket.¡± Fang Xiaonuan felt a warm current between her legs. ¡°Hubby, don¡¯t bother with the nket. The little tiger is anxious and wants toe out to y!¡± A few hourster, Fang Xiaonuan gave birth to twin daughters. Ji Lingchen held one in each hand and gave his wife a grateful kiss. ¡°Honey, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Many yearster, Ji Lingchen woke up from his afternoon nap to find that someone had drawn on his face.
