At this moment, his wife suddenly said, “My husband will be back soon. Let’s clean up the rubbish on the table now. We can’t let him catch us. Otherwise, we won’t have anything to eat tomorrow.”

Ji Wen said, “Fang Xiaonuan, aren’t you quite powerful? Why do you seem like a mouse staring down a cat? Don’t be afraid! Take on the attitude of a big sister and fight with my uncle. Maybe from now on, he will kneel in front of you!”

Hearing this, Ji Lingchen smiled. It seemed that his nephew did not want to live anymore.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “I don’t dare. Besides, I can beat him. What if one day your uncle thinks that I’m not gentle and despises me? What if he secretly finds another woman and cheats on me? If I can’t beat him, it’ll be even worse. Won’t I be beaten up in the future?”

CEO Ji, who was eavesdropping, was speechless

Old Master Ji started talking about his son. “Xiaonuan, don’t worry. I can promise you this. I don’t think he can cheat on you. If he had the ability to cheat on you, he wouldn’t have been without a partner for 28 years. I had been worried about him. Finding a wife was even more impossible. In any case, I don’t think it’s possible.”

“Why, Dad?” At this point, Fang Xiaonuan subconsciously opened another bag of spicy snacks and started eating it. She had completely forgotten that her husband was about to return home.

Old Master Ji said, “He treats you like a kitten. Have you ever seen anyone abuse their pet?”

Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. “Dad! How did you know that my husband treats me like a pet?”

Old Master Ji nodded. “Of course, I know. I have nothing to do at home, so I chat with the butler. I know everything about the family and the company.”

“By the way, I heard that he renewed the contract with Tang Corporation a few days ago because of what you said.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “My husband was trying to keep me entertained…”

“Why didn’t he let us play? He only let you play? Isn’t he still spoiling you?” Old Master Ji said.

The spicy snacks in Fang Xiaonuan’s mouth suddenly did not taste good. She began to think about her grandfather’s words. Could it be…

“Second young master, you’re back. What are you standing here for?” The maid suddenly saw Ji Lingchen and asked in confusion.

The maid’s words caused the three people who were secretly eating in the living room to be stunned. Their minds went blank, and they all turned to look in one direction.

Ji Lingchen, who had been discovered, did not keep trying to hide. He slowly walked out from behind the pillar and appeared in front of everyone.

The three people who were secretly eating were dumbfounded.

Ji Lingchen wore a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with a sense of oppression. “The food is quite delicious!”

The three of them were stunned at first, then they spoke at the same time.

Ji Wen said, “Uncle, Fang Xiaonuan bought these.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I didn’t buy these.”

Old Master Ji said, “Lingchen, I only ate a few mouthfuls.”

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other. They were all good friends when they ate. When they were discovered, they wanted to push the blame around.

Ji Lingchen sat on the sofa and picked up a bag of spicy snacks from the ground. He asked, “Tell me, who brought it up first?”

Old Master Ji and Ji Wen pointed at the girl beside them without hesitation.

Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two hands in front of her and gritted her teeth in anger. She wished she could pounce on each of them and bite them.

Ji Lingchen slowly got up from the sofa and walked in front of Fang Xiaonuan. He said, “Come, follow me to the study.”

Fang Xiaonuan pretended not to understand and said to Ji Wen, “My husband wants you to go to the study.” But as soon as she said that, Ji Lingchen had grabbed her arm.

“Hey, hey, hey, hubby, why are you pulling me? I can walk on my own!” Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly.

But Ji Lingchen was not buying it at all. He tugged his disobedient wife along and went straight to the study.

As soon as they entered the study, Fang Xiaonuan changed the topic, trying to get Ji Lingchen’s attention. “Wow, hubby, why is your study all black? It’s so cool…” Actually, she did not like black at all.

“Wow, hubby, there are so many books on your bookshelf. Hubby, you’re really amazing!”

Ji Lingchen sat on the chair, with one hand casually placed on the table as he quietly watched her performance. “Continue.”

Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and silently lowered her head. What was meant to be was meant to be. She said softly, “Hubby, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong.”

Ji Lingchen asked as if he was interrogating a criminal, “Tell me, what did you do wrong?”

Fang Xiaonuan was truly terrified at this moment. She resigned herself to her fate and said, “I shouldn’t have bought spicy snacks and ate them during my period. I shouldn’t have encouraged my father, who had just been discharged from the hospital after being admitted for gastroenteritis, to eat spicy snacks.”
