Fang Xiaonuan nodded with tears in her eyes. “Okay, okay. Hubby, come with me.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Okay.” Then, the man accompanied his little wife to do something that he had not wanted to do since he was young: digging with his bare hands.

He took off his watch and put it into her pocket. Then, he dug a hole, and after he was done, he let his little wife put the flowers in. The two of them cooperated very well. Soon, they buried all the crushed flowers. Their hands were dirty, so they did not get back into the car again. They went straight inside.

Ji Wen was still pestering Old Master Ji. “Grandpa, just tell me. How did you get my uncle to marry Fang Xiaonuan? What were you thinking when you were getting Fang Xiaonuan to marry into the family?”

Old Master Ji was so annoyed that he ran straight to the dining hall. Before he left, he threatened, “Don’t talk about this at home. If your uncle hears about it and beats you up, I won’t help you.”

“I won’t ask them. They’re on good terms right now. Plus, even if I ask them about this, it won’t affect their relationship! So, Grandpa, just tell me. I’m very tight-lipped!” Ji Wen practically begged.

Old Master Ji said, “Hmph, I don’t believe it.”

Ji Wen said, “Ugh, Grandpa, you can’t be using that person’s information…”

Ji Wen was just halfway through his sentence when he heard the voice of the dining hall’s maid. “Young master, young Madam.” He quickly shut his mouth and sat properly.

Old Master Ji saw that the young couple’s hands were dirty and asked, “Why are your hands so dirty? Did the two of you go out to play in the mud?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said, “I dug a grave for the flowers.”

Old Master Ji was speechless.

Ji Wen pointed at Ji Lingchen’s hands and asked, “Then what happened to my uncle’s hands?” He felt that his uncle would not have dirtied his hands for the sake of the flowers.

Fang Xiaonuan explained, “My husband dug the grave, and I filled in the grave.”

The grandfather and grandson were so shocked that their jaws dropped. Ji Lingchen, digging a hole? Playing with the soil?

Fang Xiaonuan did not understand why everyone was so surprised. She asked, “That’s right. Is it that unbelievable?”

Ji Lingchen did not let his wife continue to talk about digging. Instead, he pulled her to the bathroom to wash her hands. Old Master Ji and his grandson were left looking at each other, so shocked that they could not speak.

Old Master Ji recalled that ever since his son developed the ability to tell things apart, he had become different from other children. Other children loved to play with sand and building blocks. However, every time he bought toys for his son that children his age often played with, Ji Lingchen did not like them very much. He even threw them aside and looked at atlases. When he went to kindergarten, other children would play with dirt in the yard. He never went either. Instead, he thought it was dirty. He did not play with things like plasticine. He found it childish. It could be said that he did not have much of a childhood. Moreover, Old Master Ji always thought that his son was a neat freak, so before his son came home, he would order the maids to clean the house. With that in mind, it was hard to believe that he was digging in the yard with his bare hands.

Ji Wen was shocked at how much his uncle doted on his good friend. When he was young, his uncle had beaten him countless times because he had come back dirty. So, he had developed very good hygiene habits. The rice bowl would always be clean, and his clothes would always be spotless. Wherever he was, he had to be clean and tidy. He would often tidy up Fang Xiaonuan’s desk as well. He had always thought that his uncle did not like all the dirty things in this world. However, he had gotten his hands covered in mud because of Fang Xiaonuan!

After washing their hands, the couple came out. At the dining table, the grandfather and grandson’s eyes were fixed on the two of them. They felt that such a childish thing like burying flowers was definitely Fang Xiaonuan’s idea. Ji Lingchen would not waste his time on such a boring thing.

Fang Xiaonuan held her husband’s hand, took out the watch from her pocket, and said, “Hubby, let me put your watch back on.”

Ji Lingchen let her have his wrist, allowing her to fiddle with his watch.

Seeing this, Ji Wen had a whole new understanding. “In the Ji family, fawning over my uncle doesn’t work, but kissing up to Fang Xiaonuan will get you very far.”

A moment later, Feng Qi also arrived at the dining hall. “I just talked to my husband on the phone. He won’t be back this afternoon. Let’s eat.”

Old Master Ji grumbled, “He’s really something. If he didn’t plan on coming back to eat, he should have said so earlier. His meal has been prepared.”

Fang Xiaonuan heard his usual nagging. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. Then, she looked at her husband beside her with a smile.

Ji Lingchen’s heart immediately began to race. He understood that this was not a feeling of excitement, but a feeling of unease.
