Chapter 130: Saving Her Butt
Fang Xiaonuan did not expect her husband to kick him. She was glad that she understood the situation and put the ice cream back. Otherwise, she would not have been able to save her butt too!
“Go upstairs and take a shower, then sleep,” Ji Lingchen said.
Fang Xiaonuan went upstairs obediently. However, after a while, her appetite returned and she pretended to have a stomachache. Just as Ji Lingchen was anxiously looking for medicine for her, she said, “Hubby, actually, one ice cream would help.”
Ji Lingchen was speechless. “You’d be in even more pain!”
“Hubby, my stomach hurts!” Fang Xiaonuan simply tossed and turned on the bed and rolled to Ji Lingchen’s side.
Ji Lingchen was sitting by the bed, leaning against the headboard while reading, but the kitten beside him rolled over. He glanced at her and told her to stop.
“Honey, my stomach really hurts. I’m in so much pain, I’m crying!” Fang Xiaonuan did not give up and tried again.
This time, Ji Lingchen reached out his hand, then placed it on her lower abdomen and gently rubbed it.
“Honey, your hand won’t work this time. Only ice cream can stop the pain.” Fang Xiaonuan continued to act shamelessly.
Ji Lingchen closed the book and placed it on the bedside table.
Was he going to relent? Fang Xiaonuan was about to celebrate when the man pulled her into his arms. “Since rubbing your stomach is useless, go to sleep. You won’t feel any pain once you fall asleep.”
“But, I, I…” Fang Xiaonuan was full of steam. She did not want to sleep!
Ji Lingchen never pictured bickering his wife.
“Hubby, I don’t want to sleep. I want to see the stars,” Fang Xiaonuan said.
Ji Lingchen said, “There are dark clouds today. You can’t see the stars.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I have something to talk to Ji Wen about.”
Ji Lingchen pinched his wife’s little face and said seriously, “After eight o’clock in the evening, I won’t allow the two of you to meet.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Then I’ll talk to Dad. I have something to discuss with him.”
Ji Lingchen said, “Dad’s asleep.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby…”
Ji Lingchen said, “If I find out that you’ve been secretly eating ice cream before your period ends, next time, I’ll make sure there is no ice cream in the fridge.”
Fang Xiaonuan sighed gloomily and mumbled softly, “Dad and Mom always say that you’re good to me, but you won’t let me eat ice cream. That’s not treating me well.”
Ji Lingchen said perfunctorily, “Yes, I’m not good to you. I always mistreat you.”
Fang Xiaonuan pouted. “Hmph, it’s good that you know!”
Fang Xiaonuan was still protesting in his arms, but soon fell asleep without realizing it. She finally stopped complaining about her stomachache and her craving for ice cream.
Ji Lingchen woke up in the middle of the night and deliberately instructed the maids to hide all the ice cream in the house, in case his little greedy cat wanted to eat it secretly while he was out.
“If second young mistress asks you for ice cream tomorrow, no one is allowed to tell her where the ice-cream is. Otherwise, they will be fired!” Ji Lingchen threatened.
The maids quickly nodded in agreement. The butler naturally also joined the ice cream-hiding team. “Second young master, what if the master wants to eat it?”
Ji Lingchen looked at the butler and said sternly, “Let him ask me for it!”
The butler smiled awkwardly. It seemed that only the second young master could manage the old master!
After Ji Lingchen’s midnight activity, the next morning, the two people at the dinner table had sullen faces. Both of them looked depressed.
Fang Xiaonuan woke up very early. The first thing she did when she woke up was run to the refrigerator to get ice cream. However, when she opened it, she found that all the ice cream had disappeared!
Similarly, Old Master Ji had also woken up early to look for ice-cream. He had also sneaked to the fridge. Looking at the empty fridge, he said in confusion, “Why is it gone? There were more than ten yesterday.”
Old Master Ji rummaged through the fridge from top to bottom but could not find a single ice-cream.
Fang Xiaonuan and Old Master Ji both chose to ask the butler, “Where’s the ice cream?”
The butler replied, “Second young master says you must ask him for ice cream if you want it!”
Ji Lingchen clearly knew that the two of them were afraid of him and did not dare to ask him for the ice cream. Therefore, at the dining table, the two of them glared fiercely at Ji Lingchen.
Feng Qi asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you all staring at Lingchen?”
Ji Lingchen’s lips curled into a smile. “Sister-in-law, it’s fine. Xiaonuan just loves me too much.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hah! You hid my favorite ice cream. I don’t love you!” She could not take it anymore and yelled at her husband in front of everyone.
The maids in the dining hall felt their hearts tremble. She was yelling at second young master. Even if they were husband and wife, second young master had a very bad temper. No one could figure him out. Plus, the young mistress quarreling in public would make the second young master look bad. Wouldn’t this start a fight?
