Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife - Chapter 279

279 CEO Ji Realizes His Mistake

Ji Lingchen thought about it carefully. These days, he had given his little wife gifts, but she only glanced at them before putting them back into the box.

Before this, whenever she received a gift from him, she would be so happy that she would jump into his arms like a little rabbit.

She did not seem to be as happy the last few times, and she had not worn any of them yet.

Secretary Song saw that her message had been conveyed, so she said, “CEO Ji, I’ll take my leave first. Call me if you need anything.”

!!
Ji Lingchen nodded. After Secretary Song left, he turned on his phone and looked at his recent chat history with his little wife.

[ Hubby, the Liu family hasn’t told Xiaoyu about her identity yet. Do you want me to tell her? ]

Fang Xiaonuan replied, [ Xiaoyu’s ankle has recovered. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her in school. ]

[ Hubby, don’t be so enthusiastic. Xiaoyu is scared. You can treat her well when she learns who she is! You’re making the Liu family very nervous. Xiaowen might even suspect that you have ulterior motives. ]

…

After Ji Lingchen finished reading the chat history, he was no longer in the mood to work.

During this period of time, his little wife’s understanding and sensibility made his heart ache. He got up, picked up his car keys, and left the office.

Seeing that the CEO had left, Assistant Liu went to chat with Secretary Song. “Look, CEO Ji is skipping work again. Last time, his wife came to look for him and he skipped work. Now, he’s skipping work even when she’s not here. He’s skipping work more and more frequently. Will he even abandon the company in the future?”

Secretary Song shook her head. “He won’t. He spent tens of millions on a gift for madam. If he abandons the company, he won’t be able to afford to buy her gifts like that anymore.”

“That’s true. It seems like I’m overthinking it,” Assistant Liu said.

The moment school ended, Fang Xiaonuan saw her husband at the door. He had made an excuse about wanting to pick her up but he was actually visiting his sister.

“Hubby, you’re here.” Fang Xiaonuan pulled Liu Siyu over and said, “Since you’re here, let’s send Xiaoyu home later.”

Liu Siyu’s eyes were wide. Was her friend crazy?

Ji Wen also looked at Fang Xiaonuan as if she was a lunatic. Was there something wrong with her brain?

Ji Lingchen also saw Liu Siyan, who had come to pick up Liu Siyu.

“Xiaoyu, someone else is here to pick you up. I’m here to pick you up.”

“Huh?” Fang Xiaonuan was puzzled.

Ji Lingchen pulled his little wife into his arms, then said to Ji Wen, “Can you drive home by yourself?”

“No problem.” Ji Wen nodded.

After Liu Siyu’s ankle recovered, Ji Wen was discharged from the hospital.

Ji Lingchen let Ji Wen drive home by himself, and he took his little wife to Shuxiang Garden.

Fang Xiaonuan was overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events. Her husband usually treated her very well, but his actions today had surprised her.

When they were eating, she went straight to the point and said, “Hubby, what do you want me to do for you? Just tell me.”

Ji Lingchen paused, his chopsticks hovering in the air. Did his little wife think that he was being nice to her because he had a request for her?

He put down his chopsticks and leaned back in his chair. He asked seriously, “Xiaonuan, if I give you and Xiaoyu the same gift, would you mind?”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan also put down her chopsticks and said, “From the perspective of your wife, I definitely mind. But I understand how you feel, so I’m a little bothered but not angry.”

“If it bothers you, why didn’t you say something?”

Fang Xiaonuan continued, “If I tell you that I’m not happy, and that you’re only allowed to give me gifts in the future, I’ll be too petty. Moreover, if I said that, you would think that I’m insensible. Why would I do that? We worked hard to get where we are. I don’t want to quarrel or give you the silent treatment over something so small.”

Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife, who looked a little aggrieved. He had not noticed how his wife had been feeling recently.

“Xiaonuan,” he said sincerely, “I’m sorry. I made a mistake.”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan pouted. “I can understand your intentions.” Fortunately, her husband’s sister was her best friend. That made it more acceptable to her.

Ji Lingchen said, “One gift is precious, but two is cheap. Thank God Secretary Song reminded me of this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have realized my mistake.”

He got up and sat beside his wife, hugging her. “In the future, just tell me if you feel uncomfortable. It’s my first time being a husband, and sometimes, I don’t know when I’ve made a mistake. If you don’t give me feedback, you won’t be telling me the truth.”

At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan was as soft as an obedient kitten. “I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy if I say too much.”

Ji Lingchen was taken aback by his wife’s words. Could it be that she had a lot of issues to bring up with him?

“Do you have any other opinions about me?”
