Chapter 180: Back to My Parents’ House

Ji Wen nodded. When these two best friends encountered something they wanted to complain about, they would complain about it for two hours straight. Only when they had complained enough would they feel happy. Fang Xiaonuan usually relied on fighting to vent her emotions, but this time, the person she was arguing with was her husband. She could only complain.

In a coffee shop, the two best friends sat opposite each other. One ridiculed her husband, while the other ridiculed her brother.

Liu Siyu said, “My parents went to visit my grandparents. My brother and I are the only ones at home, and he’s really out of control.”

“Xiaonuan, I went to the bathroom and played with my phone for five minutes, and he started to knock on the door frantically, asking me to come out as soon as possible.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Your brother is already pretty good. You really don’t know how to be content.”

Liu Siyu said, “I know that too. But the more he treats me like this, the more I want to run away.”

“In the past, when my parents went out, he even took me out to eat. I’ve been to all the restaurants near the police station. But now, he won’t let me meet up with him there. Guess why?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. “I don’t know. Why can’t you go?”

Liu Siyu slapped the table and said hatefully, “It’s because his protégé has a crush on me!”

Hearing that, Fang Xiaonuan perked up and forgot about the things she had said about her husband. She quickly asked, “Liu Siyu, I remember you telling me that your brother’s protégé is a handsome young man. He’s also a senior intern.”

Liu Siyu nodded. “Why do you think I’m angry? He’s even more handsome than Ji Wen. What good luck he must have with women. Yet, my brother’s standing in the way.”

“You have a right to be angry. The person I saw at the Public Security Bureau should be that handsome young man. He’s really handsome and great to look at. Among all the police officers, he’s the best-looking. If I wasn’t married, I would’ve asked for his phone number no matter what!” Fang Xiaonuan said excitedly.

Liu Siyu became even angrier. “Guess what my brother did in the end? He actually went to threaten him and told him that if he had any more improper thoughts about me, he would transfer him to a remote post. Tell me, why am I so unlucky!”

At her age, it was not easy to find someone she liked, but her brother stood in her way.

Fang Xiaonuan asked, “Why aren’t you secretly dating?”

“How can I secretly date? Hide it from my brother?” Liu Siyu said in disbelief.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Yes, can’t you?”

“Xiaonuan, Madam Ji, big sister, think about it carefully. What does my brother do?”

“He’s a police officer! He can find out everything about me. Even if he doesn’t investigate me, with his interrogation methods, I’ll give him everything in less than three minutes,” Liu Siyu said in distress.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “If you don’t want the handsome boy, I’ll take him.”

Liu Siyu said, “Where are you taking him? Look at the wedding ring on your finger. You’re married.”

“I’ll use him to make my husband angry,” Fang Xiaonuan said.

Liu Siyu could not bear to part with the handsome boy, so she said, “Forget it, Xiaonuan. Just leave the handsome boy alone. He already offended my brother by liking me. If CEO Ji finds out that you like him, he’s as good as dead!”

“Yeah, that makes sense.” Fang Xiaonuan had no choice but to give up this plan.

The two of them sat in the cafe until noon. Then, they went out for lunch. In the afternoon, they went shopping together and watched a movie. In the evening, the two of them went to the night market. After eating, drinking, and playing all day, Ji Lingchen called.

“Xiaonuan, it’s time to come home.” Ji Lingchen’s wife had left him alone for the whole day. He thought that his wife would come home in the afternoon. In the end, she had not, and it was already past sundown. He had waited until it was dark, but he still saw no sign of his wife. Finally, he could not help but call her.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “I won’t be going home today. I want to go back to my parents’ house.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Be good. Come home tonight. I’ll drive you to your parents’ house tomorrow.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “There’s no need for that. My best friend will accompany me.” After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Liu Siyu also received a call from her brother. “I won’t be going home today. I’m going to stay at Xiaonuan’s house.”

Liu Siyan said unhappily, “Xiaonuan is already married. It’s not convenient for you to leave.”

“She’s already married. Can’t I stay with her? Either way, I won’t be going home today.” After Liu Siyu said that, she also hung up the phone decisively. After that, the two of them looked at each other and happily held hands as they hailed a cab. They headed to the Fang family’s house.

After a while, noise was heard outside the Fang family’s front door. Mrs. Fang saw that her daughter had returned with a bunch of shopping bags.

“Why are you back? Liu Siyu is here too,” Mrs. Fang said.
