Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Sister-in-law, Nuannuan has only met Miss Lin three times. I’ve been there all of those three times. She has never had an argument with Miss Lin, let alone bullied her. On the day we returned, it was actually me and Miss Lin who were talking.” Ji Lingchen heard the gist of their conversation. When Feng Qi questioned Fang Xiaonuan, he spoke up.

Feng Qi looked up at the tall Ji Lingchen. “How could it have been you?”

“It’s me. I’m sure you know how she feels about me. Now that I’m married, I told Miss Lin not to waste her time on someone she has no chance with.” Ji Lingchen was a smart person. He had already figured everything out.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Right. I remember that day when father asked me to deal with her. I led him away and gave you two a chance to spend time together.”

Feng Qi did not dare to believe it. After all, she had been friends with Lin Rou for many years. Her face was filled with confusion as she looked at Ji Lingchen. She wanted to say something, but she was hesitating. After all, no one in the Ji family dared to question him.

Ji Lingchen said, “Sister-in-law, I heard a lot of your conversation just now. After so many years, I know what you’ve been worried about. Think carefully. Why would I lie to You? Right now, I can tell you very clearly that my wife will not accept this title as the matriarch of the Ji family. I will definitely not touch the Ji corporation. That belongs to Ji Wen.”

Finding out that Ji Lingchen had wanted nothing to do with Lin Rou was shocking for both Fang Xiaonuan and Feng Qi. She had always thought that her husband was a scumbag who married her but had feelings for someone else. She poked Ji Lingchen’s waist. “You don’t like Miss Lin?”

Ji Lingchen asked Fang Xiaonuan in return, “Do you think I would marry someone else if I was in love with someone else?”

Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment. She looked into Ji Lingchen’s sincere eyes and shook her head. If he had someone in his heart, he definitely would not marry her, even if he was forced to.

“Seriously, you should have said it earlier! I even scolded you in my heart before.” Fang Xiaonuan, who was straightforward, did not know how to say what she was thinking. After saying this, she regretted it.

Ji Lingchen smiled and asked, “What did you scold me for?” He was smiling, but Fang Xiaonuan’s heart was full of confusion.

Fang Xiaonuan had once misunderstood his relationship with Lin Rou. Thus, in her heart, she had called Ji Lingchen a scumbag for marrying her and having feelings for someone else. She found it hard to accept that sudden kiss as well.

Only then did Fang Xiaonuan realize that Ji Lingchen and Feng Qi were innocent. All of this was caused by Lin Rou’s trickery and her own imagination.

......

Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Lingchen inadvertently looked at each other, and she immediately turned her face away in panic. Then, she said to Feng Qi, “You should go back and think about whether this is the work of a villain.”

Ji Lingchen held Fang Xiaonuan’s hand and asked, “Is the water ready?”

“Yes,” Fang Xiaonuan said obediently. She raised the glass of water in her hand for Ji Lingchen to see.

“Then let’s go back up and rest!” Ji Lingchen led Fang Xiaonuan past Feng Qi, leaving her alone in the hall to reflect. When they reached the bedroom, Ji Lingchen held onto the question from before, not letting go. “What did you secretly scold me about?”

“I don’t think you should know. I’m worried that you’ll lose your wife as soon as you get married.” Fang Xiaonuan thought about it again and again, not daring to say it out loud.

Ji Lingchen said, “If you don’t tell me the truth, we won’t move out tomorrow. You can enjoy yourself at the Ji family’s house.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Jerk.”

Ji Lingchen said, “What else?”

“Scumbag.” After saying that, Fang Xiaonuan hung her head and apologized. She secretly raised her head and glanced at the man whose face was as hard as steel. He was staring at her intently.

“Don’t look at me like that. You can’t blame me for this. You didn’t tell me that the two of you were not together,” Fang Xiaonuan said after mustering up the courage to speak.

Ji Lingchen said, “Continue. What else have you scolded me for in your heart?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She did not dare to say anything else. “My brain capacity is limited. I don’t know enough words to scold people with. That’s really it.”

Ji Lingchen said, “I don’t think your brain is small.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “It’s the same size as yours.” He simply could not talk too much with Fang Xiaonuan. Ji Lingchen’s anger would rise every now and again.

In the other bedroom, Feng Qi woke her sleeping husband when she returned to the room. “Hubby, you told me last time that I was being used by the Lin family and that Rou’er was lying to me. Why?”

Mayor Ji picked up his glasses on the bedside table and put them on. He asked in a groggy voice, “What time is it? Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Feng Qi asked anxiously, “Honey, wake up. Tell me clearly, why did you say that Rou’er was deceiving me?”
