Ji Lingchen said, “I’m satisfied.” With that, he placed 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 her come 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 glance, 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 class.
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 a compliment. “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 and come 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 place 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 play 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 occasionally make Ji Lingchen angry, and she would run to Feng Qi’s room to hide. Mayor Ji would comfort his younger brother.
If Feng Qi’s temper flared up, he would also comfort 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 accompanied 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 class 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 you come over, our relationship 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 class 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’ll come right away.”
“I just lied to my husband that I have a class later. He probably did not suspect a thing.”
