Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Lingchen, don’t be angry with Xiaonuan. Your brother and I were busy with dad just now, so we didn’t go out to comfort Xiaonuan. After all, she is still a child. As a daughter-in-law who has just joined the family, she blamed herself and felt sorry for what happened to her father-in-law because of her greediness. Right now, she’s worried that you’re angry with her. You really can’t blame Xiaonuan for this. Don’t blame her. She was scared out of her wits today. Go out and comfort her.” Feng Qi knew that she was right, and hoped he would listen to her advice, but it was up to him to decide what he would do.
In the corridor outside, Fang Xiaonuan was still very anxious, and her tears could not stop flowing. Ji Wen handed her a tissue. “Don’t cry. I don’t blame you for what happened to my grandfather. He’s an old man in his 70s or 80s, and you can’t control your cravings, right? Besides, we were all at home this afternoon and saw what happened. I really don’t blame you.”
Fang Xiaonuan took the tissue and sobbed. “Do you think your uncle is angry with me? He ignored me just now. It’s all my fault.”
Ji Wen shook his head. “I don’t know either. If I understood my uncle’s temper, I wouldn’t have been beaten up so many times.”
Ji Lingchen pushed open the door of the ward and came out. Fang Xiaonuan immediately stood up in shock and apologized while sobbing. “I’m sorry, hubby. I won’t be greedy for ice cream anymore.”
Ji Lingchen’s expression was slightly cold. He glanced at his cautious wife. This made both of them think that Ji Lingchen was angry. Ji Wen hurriedly explained to him. “Uncle, this matter really has nothing to do with her. Think about it! I wanted to eat it too. She couldn’t stop me!”
They were all explaining to Ji Lingchen that this matter was not Fang Xiaonuan’s fault. This made Ji Lingchen misunderstand. Did it seem like he was blaming his wife for this?
Ji Lingchen walked forward and wiped away the tears at the corner of Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes. “Brother and sister-in-law will stay at the hospital tonight. Tomorrow night, it will be the two of us.”
“Hubby, I…”
Ji Lingchen reached out to Fang Xiaonuan, pulling her into his embrace. He instructed Ji Wen, “You will stay at the hospital tonight as well to help take care of your grandfather.”
Ji Wen said, “Alright, but uncle, please don’t hit your wife! Don’t let me Look down on you as a man.”
After saying that, Ji Wen looked at his good friend who was in his uncle’s arms. Ji Lingchen also lowered his head to look at his wife, who was in his arms with misty eyes. He did not say anything and left with his wife still in his embrace.
When they got to the car, Fang Xiaonuan held onto her seatbelt. She asked softly, “Hubby, will you hit me when we get home?”
Ji Lingchen raised his hand and flicked her forehead. “There, I did.”
Fang Xiaonuan pouted and cried again, feeling wronged. This time, Ji Lingchen did not know what to do. He rubbed his wife’s forehead and asked, “Does it hurt?”
Fang Xiaonuan shook her head, crying. “You hit me too lightly.”
Ji Lingchen looked at his wife’s weeping face and suddenly laughed out loud. He actually felt that his crying wife was a little cute. He started the car and headed home. In his opinion, rather than words of comfort, it was better to be more practical.
The so-called comfort was just telling her that everyone would forgive her and not blame her. In the end, Fang Xiaonuan would still think that it was her fault.
However, Ji Lingchen coaxed his wife in a different way. He did not coax her, nor did he comfort her.
His wife was worried that he would go home and “abuse” her, so he gently flicked her forehead to make her feel better.
On the way home, Fang Xiaonuan stopped crying. She began to think about how she could make it up to him. Soon, they reached home. Ji Lingchen got out of the car. He walked to the front passenger seat, opened the car door, and held his wife’s hand as they walked inside.
Fang Xiaonuan did not understand. She could walk on her own. Why was her husband holding her hand as they entered? Could it be that he was no longer angry with her?
Upon returning home, Fang Xiaonuan realized that the servants who had been secretly talking about her had instantly quieted down when they saw her and her husband’s tightly clasped hands. Without waiting for her to think further, the butler worriedly went forward and asked, “Second young master, how is the master’s condition now?”
The Ji family’s servants were all very concerned about this. They knew that the master had fainted from pain in the hall earlier. It could be said that it had frightened everyone.
It was said that the second young madam had made the old master eat a lot of ice cream, causing him to fall ill. At the same time, the servants at home were all curious. If something were to happen to the old master this time, how would the Ji family punish the second young madam who had just joined their family?
“It’s nothing serious. Father is being treated in the hospital. He’s asleep now. Butler, come with me to the study.” Ji Lingchen held Fang Xiaonuan’s hand and went up the stairs.
