Old Master Ji waved his hand and said straightforwardly, “Who cares what it’s called? My daughter-in-law is really good.”
Old Master Ji, who was playing 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 playing 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 nothing compared to a plate of crayfish to Old Master Ji.
What about king crab? Well, he much preferred the food on Snack Street his daughter-in-law introduced him to. King crab could not compare 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’t come 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 him last 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 not come 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 classroom where their last class was based on the signage. There was no one in the classroom, 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 black 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’ to come to the competition with a hickey. It seems that your competition 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.
