Fang Xiaonuan continued, “But, hubby, I really paid attention. I brought warm water for dad. The spicy snacks he ate were rinsed in some water first. They weren’t too spicy after that, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to eat some.”

Ji Lingchen asked again, “What else?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Nothing else.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Do I have to say it?”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, “Tell me. I don’t think I’ve made any other mistakes.” She seemed to shirk all fear of Ji Lingchen suddenly.

Ji Lingchen asked, “Did you eat ice cream today?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head.

Ji Lingchen asked again, “Are you sure?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again.

Ji Lingchen asked for the third time, “Do I have to produce evidence before you admit it?”

Fang Xiaonuan frowned and said, “Hubby, I was wrong to bring the spicy snacks, but don’t slander me. I really wanted to eat ice cream today, but I only looked at it for ten minutes in the freezer at the entrance of the supermarket. If I said I didn’t eat it, then I didn’t eat it! I promised you. No matter how greedy I am, I wouldn’t break a promise!”

Ji Lingchen was actually just bluffing his wife. He did not expect her to be so obedient and stay away from ice cream. And because of his distrust, his wife was angry now. But in the beginning, it was clearly her fault. Now, he felt guilty.

Ji Lingchen said, “I know. You didn’t have ice cream. I was wrong to accuse you.”

Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said, “Then apologize to me!”

She was getting bolder and bolder. She did not know if it was because Ji Lingchen had been spoiling her too much recently.

Ji Lingchen reached out to tap the tip of his wife’s nose and said gently, “Your hubby was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

Fang Xiaonuan crossed her arms across her chest and turned her head away proudly. “Hmph, it’s too late to apologize now. I won’t forgive you!” With that, she walked straight out of the study.

Ji Lingchen was speechless. His status in the family seemed to be getting lower and lower. He was clearly the one who wanted to settle the score with his wife, but in the end, his wife became angry instead.

After they left, Ji Wen quickly pulled Fang Xiaonuan to the side and asked, “So how exactly is uncle planning to punish you?”

Old Master Ji also curiously went over.

Fang Xiaonuan surprised them by saying, “We just apologized and it was over. We’re husband and wife, so we can’t fight.”

Old Master Ji asked in confusion, “When did he become so easy to talk to? You just apologized and he let you off?”

Ji Wen was also very curious. “Did my uncle really not give you any other punishment?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “What are you guys talking about? He apologized to me. Why should I be punished?”

“What? He apologized to you?” Old Master Ji shouted excitedly. He did not understand what had gone wrong. Was he a little confused? Did they not make a mistake first? Why would he apologize to Xiaonuan?

Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, “Yeah, he actually accused me of stealing the ice cream. Although he has already apologized to me, I haven’t decided to forgive him yet!”

The grandfather and grandson were at a loss for words.

Ji Wen knew Fang Xiaonuan better. Although she was small, she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve. He asked, “Xiaonuan, did you forget that we stole the spicy snacks first? Didn’t you go to apologize?”

Fang Xiaonuan was stunned. That’s right! She had just entered the study to apologize.

When she remembered, she said with a sad face, “What should I do? I forgot. I didn’t even treat your uncle well in the study just now.”

Ji Wen patted her shoulder and said, “Since we’ve known each other for twelve years, I can’t just leave you to the sharks. I’ll prepare a good coffin for you. I’ll also choose a good place for your grave.”

Fang Xiaonuan looked at Old Master Ji pitifully. “Dad, save me. I… I just lost my mind, and I suddenly lost my temper with my husband. What should I do?”

Old Master Ji rolled his eyes and came up with a devious idea. “Why don’t you go in again and admit your mistake? Maybe you’ll get lenient treatment.”

“But, but I don’t dare to…” Fang Xiaonuan was afraid. Thinking of her husband’s temper toward his subordinates that day, she was very worried that she would not be able to come out alive if she went in again. However, Ji Wen actually pushed her shoulder and urged her forward. “Go quickly. I’ll definitely find you a beautiful cemetery with beautiful scenery. I’ll also buy golden wood to use for your coffin. I guarantee that your corpse won’t decay for a thousand years.”

“Ji Wen, Grandpa, don’t push me!” While she was talking, Ji Wen had already pushed her back to the door of the study. Then, Ji Wen and Old Master Ji quickly fled, leaving her at the door.

Fang Xiaonuan looked at the two of them miserably. The two of them hid in a corner and waved at her, shouting in a low voice, “Go quickly.”

Fang Xiaonuan made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to knock.

Knock! Knock! Knock! There was no response.
