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 one last 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 class.”
Ji Lingchen said, “Alright, your dance teacher told me that you’re not fit for Latin. Why don’t you transfer to the ballet class?”
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 plan last 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 specially come to pick her up from school today. He wanted to surprise her and take her to Shuxiang Garden. In the end, she had plans 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 the company 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 classes in the afternoon. Are you tired?”
Fang Xiaonuan nodded shamelessly and said, “I’m really tired. Today’s class 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 just come 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-in-law, 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?”
