Chapter 182: Becoming a Father Again

Secretary Song asked in surprise, “Madam hasn’t told you yet?” Could it be that Madam was planning to surprise him?

Ji Lingchen asked in return, “Tell me what?”

Secretary Song saw that those in the CEO’s office seemed to already know. Therefore, it was not a secret. She told Ji Lingchen the truth. “Madam is pregnant.”

“Ahem…” Ji Lingchen cleared his throat in shock. After a while, he asked, “Xiaonuan? Pregnant?”

Secretary Song nodded. “Yes, we found out the day before yesterday, Madam called me and asked me where you usually go. She said that she was pregnant and wanted to surprise you.”

Ji Lingchen was speechless. His wife was “pregnant” again. He had inexplicably become a “father” again. His wife was really…

“Leave. Don’t keep spreading this information. She is not pregnant. She was just playing hide-and-seek with me,” Ji Lingchen explained.

Secretary Song had a look of disbelief on her face, but she did not ask any more questions. She turned to leave.

However, Ji Lingchen suddenly stopped her. “Wait a moment.”

Secretary Song stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the CEO. “CEO Ji, do you have any other instructions?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Secretary Song, tell me, how do you usually coax children when they’re angry?”

Secretary Song was speechless. Why was this CEO always making his wife angry? She asked, “Madam is angry? What made her angry this time?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Jealousy.” Seeing Secretary Song’s confused expression, he had no choice but to tell her how he had deliberately made his wife jealous, how he had vented his anger, and how she had not come home last night.

After hearing this, Secretary Song thought for a moment and said to Ji Lingchen, “CEO Ji, if my husband treats me like this, I will beat him to death.”

Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. It was too late to be sorry for what he had done.

“So, how long will it take for them to stop being angry?” Ji Lingchen asked guiltily.

Secretary Song said, “It takes two hands to clap. Knowing Madam’s temper, I personally think that she’ll remain angry for a little under two weeks.”

Ji Lingchen was filled with regret once again. “I understand. Dismissed.” He suddenly felt that asking Secretary Song had yielded him nothing. It was better for him to figure this out himself.

…

Meanwhile, Fang Xiaonuan had just finished her morning class and was eating lunch in the canteen. At this moment, she felt that there were people around her spying on her. After listening carefully, she realized that they were discussing her marriage.

“Stinky husband, scumbag Ji Lingchen, so annoying!” Fang Xiaonuan suddenly exclaimed.

Ji Wen turned around and asked, “What’s wrong with my uncle?”

Fang Xiaonuan stabbed a piece of braised meat with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. “It’s fine if he’s just good-looking, but why is he still so amazing?”

Liu Siyu asked, “Xiaonuan, are you boasting about your husband?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Ugh! I’m mad at him!” However, the words that came out of her mouth inexplicably turned into praise. Fang Xiaonuan felt that she had been poisoned.

“Fang Xiaonuan, your husband told me to bring you home today. Have you calmed down? If you’re still angry, just tell me. I won’t force you to go back,” Ji Wen said. In fact, he could not force Fang Xiaonuan to go home either. Otherwise, he would definitely get beaten up.

Fang Xiaonuan shouted angrily, “I’m still angry! Why did he ask you to bring me back? Am I your wife or his wife? Why doesn’t he bring me back himself!”

Fang Xiaonuan started eating another bowl of rice in anger. Her stomach was about to burst. After returning to the classroom, she looked at her round stomach and became even more depressed.

“My relationship isn’t going well, and my body is also against me!”

Liu Siyu glanced at Fang Xiaonuan’s belly and said, “Xiaonuan, forget men. Food will always be there for you.” After saying that, she opened a packet of spicy snacks. She handed it to Fang Xiaonuan. “Have some of these and cheer up. If one doesn’t work, then eat two. If two don’t work, then eat the whole packet!”

Fang Xiaonuan could not resist the temptation. She reached out and took one. “Xiaowen, I still want to eat Wang Wang Ice Cream.”

Liu Siyu said, “Ji Wen, bring me more pudding.”

The two best friends ordered Ji Wen around. This was the most fundamental reason why Ji Wen did not want to be in the same class as them. If they did not steal his food, they would always make him run errands.

Ji Wen said helplessly, “What else do you want? Say it all.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “And a packet of potato chips, honey and butter flavored.”

Liu Siyu said, “And a bag of jelly, orange flavored.”

Then, Ji Wen went to the supermarket. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly called his uncle to report the situation.

“Uncle, you’d better come and pick up your wife yourself.” Ji Wen repeated Fang Xiaonuan’s words.
