Fang Xiaonuan frowned. Was she overthinking? If her husband had really fooled her, he would have said, “No.” instead of “How did I trick you?”.
But she felt that something was wrong, so she continued to probe him. “Then, how did you explain to them that I’m not pregnant?”
Ji Lingchen said, “I didn’t need to explain anything. I just told them the truth. They can only believe it.”
The more she thought about it, the more Fang Xiaonuan felt that something was off. She felt as if she had fallen into a trap, but she still could not figure out how she had fallen into it.
Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was coming to her senses. He quickly put down his work and said, “Xiaonuan, a few days ago, I attended a social gathering and went to a nice restaurant. Do you want to try it?”
!!
Fang Xiaonuan immediately stopped thinking and smacked her lips, indicating that she wanted to eat.
Seeing this, Ji Lingchen immediately put down his work and held his wife’s hand as they walked out.
“Hubby, can you get me another drink? I still want the peach-flavored one. That one’s delicious.”
Ji Lingchen brought his wife to the pantry and picked up three bottles. “Is this enough?”
Fang Xiaonuan also took two bottles and mumbled softly, “One bottle later, one bottle tomorrow, one for Ji Wen, and one for Siyu. Dad would like this too. I also want to bring one back for sister-in-law…”
From the looks of it, it was definitely not enough! She took another bottle. “123456, now that’s enough!”
Ji Lingchen listened to his wife’s mumbling and did not comment. It turned out that she had included all her family and friends. He took the drinks she was holding and placed them back.
“Oh? Hubby, you’re not letting me take any more drinks?” Fang Xiaonuan asked aggrievedly.
Ji Lingchen did not answer. Instead, he walked straight out of the pantry and instructed Secretary song, “Send two boxes of these drinks to my house. Choose the peach-flavored ones.”
Secretary Song asked, “CEO Ji, should I send it to the Ji family’s mansion or Spirit Creek Villa?”
Ji Lingchen replied, “Send it to the Ji family’s mansion.”
Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan was so happy that she could not close her mouth. She wanted to praise her husband, but they were in the office, so she had to endure it!
From now on, every time Fang Xiaonuan came to the office, she would pick a drink. If she found one she liked, she would put it on her husband’s table, and her husband would have it delivered to the mansion.
Apart from Fang Xiaonuan, Old Master Ji also felt very happy about this. He felt that Xiaonuan was really great. Whatever she picked out was always delicious, and they were never the same. He would often give some to his friends.
“Mr. Zhou, come, try this drink. My daughter-in-law recommended it to me. It tastes really good!”
“Xiaoqian, have you tried the drink that my friends posted? It tastes amazing!”
“Mr. Wang, come to my house for a while. I have a very delicious drink at my house. Please come try it.”
…
Of course, this all happened later.
Before that, the cold war between Fang Xiaonuan and her husband was not over yet.
During dinner, Fang Xiaonuan felt that her husband’s performance was not bad, so she temporarily behaved herself. The problem was she could not pretend to be angry. Her expressions were all spontaneous. When she was angry, her anger was explosive, and she could practically burn the whole house down. However, after yesterday’s carefree days, today’s blow up, and her husband’s doting, she was actually not that angry anymore. Fang Xiaonuan felt that she was very well-behaved. She had such a good temperment, and she was also so nice. Her character was even better. Ji Lingchen was definitely lucky to have married her. After dinner, Fang Xiaonuan returned home, feeling a little narcissistic.
Old Master Ji warmly welcomed his daughter-in-law home. He was glad that she had calmed down.
“Xiaonuan, you went out to have fun yesterday. Why didn’t you ask me to come with you? I really want to go to the night market with you,” Old Master Ji said.
Fang Xiaonuan said honestly, “Dad, I was angry yesterday, wasn’t I? If I brought you along, I would have to take care of you. I wouldn’t be able to vent my anger.”
Old Master Ji asked, “Have you calmed down now?”
Fang Xiaonuan replied, “There’s still a little bit of anger left.”
Old Master Ji rolled his eyes at his second son, his eyes filled with disdain. He always felt that his second son was not worthy of such a good wife as Xiaonuan.
Hearing this, Ji Lingchen simply stood up and said, “I’m going back to my room.”
At this moment, Feng Qi happened to come down the stairs. When she saw the couple, she asked, “Is Xiaonuan still angry?”
Ji Lingchen nodded helplessly. “Yes, I’m still thinking of ways to comfort her.”
Yesterday, Fang Xiaonuan had been out the whole day. Everyone felt like it had been a long time since they last saw her. They were asking her a lot of questions now. She sat in the middle, responding to everyone.
Ji Wen also came out. When he saw the treasured daughter-in-law of the family, he shook his head. He felt that Fang Xiaonuan must have poisoned everyone in the family. It was the kind of poison that could not be cured.
