Chapter 152: A Life Had Been Spared

Ji Lingchen chuckled. “You’re really a child. You cry so easily.” He reached out to wipe away his wife’s tears and said, “Because you’re worth it, we’re all willing to treat you well and dote on you.”

Fang Xiaonuan had no idea what they saw in her. She felt that she had won the lottery. In the future, when she had the chance, she would definitely go to the temple and thank the heavens for looking after her.

“Shall we go to sleep?” Ji Lingchen asked.

Fang Xiaonuan wiped her tears away and obediently climbed into bed. Ji Lingchen followed her into bed.

During the night, Fang Xiaonuan grabbed her husband’s arm and used it as a pillow. Before her husband rolled over to hug her, she had already gotten into his arms. She looked up at her husband and asked, “Hubby, did you get angry today?”

Ji Lingchen asked, “Xiaonuan, why do you keep asking me if I’m angry?”

Fang Xiaonuan did not know how to explain it. She could only describe her true feelings. “I’m afraid that if you get angry at me, you will stop talking to me. Then, you might not like me anymore. Then, you’ll leave me. Whenever I think that you might. leave me, my heart feels like it’s being crushed by a boulder. It’s so uncomfortable. I can’t do anything about it and it just makes me want to cry.”

Ji Lingchen bent down to look at his wife and asked, “If I leave you, will you be sad?”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded vigorously and said aggrievedly, “I don’t know what I would do if you left me. Whenever I think about it, my heart aches.”

“Xiaonuan, can you repeat what you just said?” Ji Lingchen asked with eyes full of starlight.

Fang Xiaonuan repeated it again in a daze. She thought that she was just repeating what she had said. However, to her husband, she was reiterating her love for him.

“Xiaonuan, as long as you don’t leave me, I will never leave you. If you leave me one day, I will crush your bones and scatter your ashes,” Ji Lingchen said. The way he expressed love was always different than how others did.

Fang Xiaonuan trembled in fear at her husband’s words. “Hubby, what do you think is considered leaving you?” To be safe, she had to ask and make sure.

Ji Lingchen kissed the top of her head and said softly, “If I can’t see you and if I can’t feel your love, that’s considered leaving me. These two things are essential!” He wanted both and he would not do without either!

Fang Xiaonuan was scared to tears by her husband’s words.

Ji Lingchen asked curiously, “Why are you crying?” He suddenly felt her tears soaking his shirt. He looked down and saw that his wife was crying.

She sobbed. “Hubby, I’m scared. Next time, if I go on a trip, you might kill me since you won’t be able to see me,” Fang Xiaonuan cried.

Ji Lingchen was speechless.

“How can I? I’m not that unreasonable,” Ji Lingchen quickly comforted her.

Fang Xiaonuan felt as if her life had been spared, but she suddenly thought of something. She cried again, “But, if my heart isn’t with you in the future… Ah, don’t spank me! Hubby, listen to my explanation!”

Ji Lingchen placed his hand on Fang Xiaonuan’s butt, waiting for her explanation. If he did not like how it sounded, she would be in danger.

“Speak,” Ji Lingchen said.

Fang Xiaonuan explained, “I mean, if my heart is with your child in the future, will you kill me?”

Ji Lingchen asked, “Who is the biological mother of my child?”

Fang Xiaonuan replied, “Me, of course!”

Ji Lingchen chuckled and said, “That’s fine too. I’m looking forward to seeing the little tiger that will come from my kitten’s belly.”

Fang Xiaonuan’s face turned red at his teasing. She said angrily, “I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to sleep!” She slept very well. Not long after, her even breathing could be heard. She lay on her side in her husband’s arms. She looked even more like a small child.

…

Meanwhile, ever since Liu Siyu got home, she had been hiding in the bedroom. She did not dare to go out.

After Liu Siyan got off work, he knocked on his sister’s door and said, “Hurry up! Come out and explain what happened. Otherwise, when I go in, there will be no room for discussion!”

Liu Siyu said, “Brother, I’ve already gone to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow!”

Liu Siyan threatened, “Are you forcing me to go through the window?”

Hearing that, Liu Siyu hurriedly jumped out of bed and locked the window.

Liu Siyan knew what his sister cared about the most, so he deliberately said, “Don’t you want to know how much your two good friends suffered in prison?”
