Chapter 6: Yes, You are the Most Disciplined

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were so many rich and famous ladies in the capital, and her family background was good but there was no telling how many other families were just as good. Still, Old Master Ji had chosen her… Fang Xiaonuan knew that there was something fishy going on. There was more to this marriage than the Ji family were letting on.

Feng Qi did not expect Fang Xiaonuan to be so arrogant. His face was livid. Just as she was about to reprimand her, she saw Fang Xiaonuan clap her hands and swagger back to her room. With a bang, she closed the door. She was about to reprimand her!

Feng Qi was shocked.

She was even angrier now!

Meanwhile, Ji Lingchen drove to his residence. He usually lived alone in the Spirit Creek Villa, and the number of times he went to the old residence in a year could be counted on one hand. Just as he parked the car, he noticed a drunk woman sitting at the entrance of the villa. The woman was holding a bottle of wine, and her eyes were on the car headlights that had not been turned off.

Ji Lingchen paused for a moment and got out of the car. “Why are you here?”

Lin Rou saw him and shed tears before she could say anything. “Lingchen, why? Why did you agree to marry that woman?” Her tears were like pearls that had lost their thread, falling one after another.

Ji Lingchen said, “You drank too much.”

“I didn’t drink too much, Lingchen. You know how I feel about you. I’ve liked you for fifteen years. You weren’t allowed to have other women around you, but you tacitly allowed me to be by your side. I thought that the person who would marry you would definitely be me, but why her? Why did you marry that strange woman, Fang Xiaonuan? Could it be that she’s younger than me?” Lin Rou cried her heart out. Ever since she heard that Ji Lingchen was going to get married, her father had locked her up at home. He only let her out at night.

Ji Lingchen silently looked at the woman who was sobbing on the steps. After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, “If you’re sober, then leave.”

“No!” Lin Rou staggered to her feet. “Lingchen, you don’t love that woman. I know you don’t love her! I’ve been by your side for fifteen years. No one understands you better than I do. If you really loved that woman, you wouldn’t be here alone. The woman who you let live in the Spirit Creek Villa is the one who has your approval. Lingchen, are you going through something you’re not telling me about? It was the Ji family who forced you to marry that woman, wasn’t it?”

Ji Lingchen could not answer this question. He had not been forced into this marriage. This was a fair and just exchange. If he wanted to get what he wanted from his father, he had to marry Fang Xiaonuan.

Ji Lingchen said, “You drank too much. I’ll get the someone to send you home.”

When someone from the Lin family came over, Ji Lingchen watched them escort Lin Rou into the car before turning around to open the villa’s door. Too many things had happened today. He now had a headache. After taking a simple shower, he flipped through the documents he had gotten from his father. He did not know if he had done the right thing by marrying a girl he did not know for the sake of this information.

But when he thought about the benefits the Fang family had gained from this marriage, Ji Lingchen looked past it. “We’re just using each other to get what we want.”

The next morning, Fang Xiaonuan slept soundly on the big bed all by herself until she was woken up by a servant knocking on the door. She rubbed her eyes, washed up, and went downstairs.

Feng Qi looked at her and said mockingly, “You come from a small family and you don’t live by any rules. You just married into the family and you’re already sleeping in, making the whole family wait for you.”

Fang Xiaonuan was not angry. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was not even seven o’clock yet. She smiled and said, “Yes, the Ji family is the most disciplined. I have to learn from them.”

For some reason, Fang Xiaonuan was being very obedient. However, Feng Qi still felt that something was wrong. Yet, she could not put her finger on what it was. “Hmph, I really don’t understand how a person like you married into the Ji family. You are so different from Rou’er.”

Ji Kangde coughed and gestured to his wife to stop talking. “Xiaonuan has just joined the Ji family. She doesn’t understand many of the rules. As her sister-in-law, you can slowly teach them to her.”

“I don’t have time to teach her.” Feng Qi did not look at Fang Xiaonuan who was quietly sitting in her seat. “In the future, if anyone introduces a woman like that to my son, I’ll kill myself in front of him.”

“Enough.” Ji Kangde was not a fool. He knew that Feng Qi was dissatisfied with the wife that he and his father had found for Ji Lingchen. He pulled a long face. “You’re only Lingchen’s sister-in-law. You have no right to interfere in Lingchen’s marriage. Don’t say such things in the future.”

Old Master Ji slowly made his way downstairs. “What are you arguing about so early in the morning?”
