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 become your enemies? What if they come 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-in-law and her father-in-law 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 the company to go bankrupt in the future?”
Ji Lingchen said, “Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”
“Why, hubby?” Fang Xiaonuan recalled that in class, 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-in-law.
“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 was late. 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 really lay down. He even stretched out his arms to give his kitten a pillow.
The kitten skillfully lay 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 classes, Fang Xiaonuan slept in. Previously, she had always reminded herself that this was her in-laws’ house. She could not sleep in and be lazy or she would be criticized by her in-laws. However, without knowing when it had started, she now treated this place 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 would come 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.
