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 their laughter. 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 accounting 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 accounting 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 had compromised 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 become unhappy. It was clearly peaceful just now, but now the atmosphere had become 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 accounting 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 shared last 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 and laughed 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 relationship 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!”
