Chapter 234: Looking for a Gift
On the way back, Fang Xiaonuan would immediately get nervous when she encountered a traffic jam. When she saw the fleets of cars ahead, she said, “Hubby, maybe you should drive.”
Ji Lingchen consoled her. “Don’t be nervous. Don’t worry, I’ll be right beside you. If you need anything, I’m right here.”
Fang Xiaonuan looked ahead cautiously. The weather was getting colder, and winter was coming. She was wearing a skirt, so she felt a little cold. As she held onto the steering wheel, she wished she could pull her windbreaker down to her ankles. “Hubby, can we turn on the heater?”
When Ji Lingchen saw Fang Xiaonuan’s legs, he removed his jacket and considerately draped it over his wife’s legs. Then, he turned on the heater. “Wait for a while. It will warm up soon.”
Fang Xiaonuan did not worry. His jacket still held onto some of his warmth and she instantly felt much better.
Ji Lingchen said, “It’s getting colder these days. Don’t wear dresses anymore. You’re so young. Catching a cold will disrupt your life.”
Fang Xiaonuan gripped the steering wheel and said coyly, “I just wanted to dress up a little to pick you up. This is the only time. I won’t wear this next time.”
“The heater in the house is very warm, so you can still wear this there,” Ji Lingchen replied.
The car slowly became warmer, and Fang Xiaonuan was no longer as nervous. “Honey, I don’t understand the traffic police’s hand gestures.”
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Ji Lingchen replied.
With her husband by her side, Fang Xiaonuan was truly not afraid of anything. She calmly drove past the traffic police and headed for their destination.”Honey, what did you do this time while you were away? Why did you take so long to come back?”
Fang Xiaonuan casually questioned her husband.
Ji Lingchen’s expression darkened as he thought about what he had to do this time.”I did spend a long time, but I did not yield much success.”
“Then wasn’t it a waste of time?”

Ji Lingchen did not say anything. His wife did not know about the reason for his trip. She thought that it was a wasted trip. However, to him, his expectations had just been met with disappointment again.
Fang Xiaonuan to the entrance of Shuxiang Garden, but she still did not know how to reverse the car into the parking space.
Ji Lingchen got out of the car and parked it.
Fang Xiaonuan had initially thought that this date would be romantic, and she had been a little anxious about it. However, after an entire afternoon, she realized that she was just very happy. Did she really like Ji Lingchen? Without a doubt, she did. When she was with him, even if they were just driving, Fang Xiaonuan felt that their love was beautiful.
After dinner, the two of them went home. Ji Lingchen said that he wanted to look for a car and buy a good car for his little wife. Fang Xiaonuan did not understand. There were so many cars in the garage, so didn’t she just have to pick one? However, Ji Lingchen felt that this was a little perfunctory, and that it was better to buy a new one.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “I don’t know much about cars. You can just buy whatever you want.” She didn’t know anything about this, so she handed the task of buying a car to her husband.
After entering the house, she excitedly carried his luggage upstairs. She wanted to immediately see what her husband had brought her.
Ji Lingchen watched her back as she walked upstairs, then entered the house with a smile.
Mayor Ji saw the smile on his brother’s face and thought of his lively, cute, and grumpy sister-in-law. He was extremely glad that his brother finally had a safe harbor for his soul. In the past, every time he looked for Xiaoyu, he would go with hope and return with disappointment. Usually, he would return to tell him and his father about his search, and then return to the Spirit Creek Villa alone to bear the loneliness. However, it was different this time. Even though he did not find his sister, he did not look too disappointed. It was Xiaonuan who had unknowingly warmed his heart.
Fang Xiaonuan, who had returned to the bedroom, immediately opened her husband’s luggage and took out his clothes. She sniffed them and found that they had a clean scent. She took out his clothes, brought them to the cloakroom, and hung them up one by one. Then, she ran back to her suitcase and continued to rummage through it. “Didn’t you say there was a gift? Where did it go?”
When Ji Lingchen returned to his room, he looked at his little wife, who was rummaging through his luggage for gifts, and asked, “Where are my clothes?”
“I’ve already hung them in the closet,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.
“The gift is in my clothes,” Ji Lingchen replied.
Fang Xiaonuan immediately stood up, let go of the suitcase, and ran into the cloakroom excitedly.
Ji Lingchen put the suitcase aside and stood at the door of the cloakroom, watching the girl look for gifts.
Fang Xiaonuan felt the pockets of his pants, then rummaged through the pockets of his shirts. But there was nothing. Finally, she tiptoed to his coat and rummaged through its inner pockets.
“Hubby, I found it.” Fang Xiaonuan laughed heartily.
She took it out and saw that it was an exquisite necklace from the same brand and series as the bracelet on her wrist. She happily jumped up and ran over to Ji Lingchen.
Ji Lingchen wrapped his arm around his wife’s waist and smiled. “Let’s keep looking.”
“Oh?” Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes were filled with surprise. “There’s another present?”
