Chapter 177: Disinfection

“Who is it?” A woman’s voice came from inside the villa.

Fang Xiaonuan’s blood instantly rushed to her cheeks. Her eyes were red as she clenched her fists. She waited for the door to open.

A middle-aged woman opened the door.

Fang Xiaonuan suppressed her anger and asked, “Where is Ji Lingchen?”

The middle-aged woman said, “He is not here. May I ask who you are?”

Ji Wen quickly ran over and said, “Auntie Wang, my uncle isn’t here?”

“Hello, Young Master Ji Wen. He is not here. He has not been back for a long time. I am here to tidy up,” the middle-aged woman said.

Ji Wen’s heart pounded with relief. He looked at the girl beside him, who also looked relieved and said, “Let me introduce you. Auntie, this is my uncle’s wife, Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan, this lady, Auntie Wang, is in charge of cleaning Spirit Creek Villa.”

Auntie Wang looked at the girl in front of her and said with a smile, “So, this is the madam. Sir has spoken about you. It’s great to finally meet you.”

Fang Xiaonuan asked, “Auntie Wang, has anyone else, besides my husband, come here?”

Auntie Wang shook her head. “It’s been a long time since anyone has stayed here. Even Sir hasn’t come back.”

At this moment, Fang Xiaonuan’s clenched fists finally loosened. After thanking Auntie Wang, she returned to the car. She seemed to have used up all her strength and collapsed on the seat. She closed her eyes and said to Ji Wen, “Let’s go home.”

Ji Wen said, “There are two places we haven’t gone to yet. Do you not want to go?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. “I’m too lazy.” She was not really lazy. She did not dare to go. She was afraid that she would really find Ji Lingchen. When she heard the woman’s voice in the villa just now, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling. If she went to the hotel, what would she do if she really found her husband? She was tired, so she gave up.

Ji Wen did not say much and simply drove her back to the Ji family’s residence. The two had just arrived home when they happened to bump into Feng Qi.

“Xiaonuan, I was just looking for you,” Feng Qi said with a smile when she saw Fang Xiaonuan.

Fang Xiaonuan hung her head and asked weakly, “What’s wrong, sister-in-law? Were you looking for me?”

“It’s nothing important. Lingchen was afraid that you would be bored, so he asked me to take you shopping. You can buy some new clothes. It’s going to get cold soon.” Feng Qi was very concerned about Fang Xiaonuan. When she saw that Fang Xiaonuan was wearing a dress, she said, “It’s already autumn. Why are you still wearing a dress? Let’s go. I’ll take you to buy some warmer clothes.”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said listlessly, “Sister-in-law, you can go on your own. I’m going back to my room.” After saying that, she went upstairs without waiting for Feng Qi’s reply.

When she returned to her room, she locked the door from the inside. She collapsed weakly on the bed and wept. After a while, the blanket was wet.

In the evening, Ji Lingchen did not come back. Ji Wen forced Fang Xiaonuan to come down to the living room and watch TV with everyone.

Feng Qi realized that something was wrong with Fang Xiaonuan in the afternoon, so she asked her son to bring her downstairs. She did not want her to be stuck in her room.

However, Fang Xiaonuan was not paying attention to the TV at all. From time to time, she would look at the door. Ji Lingchen had already left work, but he was not back yet.

“Xiaowen, come and help me carry something.” Fang Xiaonuan suddenly stood up and pulled Ji Wen into the utility room.

She found an empty wooden table. Ji Wen asked curiously, “Where do you want to put such a big table?”

Fang Xiaonuan replied, “I want to put it at the door to barricade it.”

The two of them used the table to block the door of the house. Then, Fang Xiaonuan disappeared. When she reappeared, there was a spray bottle in her hand.

Ji Wen said in confusion, “This is…”

Fang Xiaonuan ignored him. After putting the spray away, she ran to the bathroom. When she came out, she was holding a bottle of toilet cleaner. After putting it away, she disappeared again. After a while, she brought out a bottle of bleach.

Feng Qi was stunned. Ji Wen was stunned. Mayor Ji was on the sofa, adding his father as a friend on the chatting app. When he saw his sister-in-law running back and forth, he watched her curiously. He did not know what had happened today.

At 8:30 pm, Ji Lingchen returned home. Only then did everyone find out what Fang Xiaonuan was doing.

When Ji Lingchen arrived at the porch, he realized that a table was blocking the door. Then, Fang Xiaonuan began to spray something wildly at his face.

“Xiaonuan, why are you spraying something containing alcohol at me?” Ji Lingchen smelled the scent and asked with a puzzled face.

Fang Xiaonuan said coldly, “Disinfection!”
