Chapter 208: Friendship of the Three

Ji Lingchen held a single page in his hand. As he read, he tried his best to speak in a gentle tone so as not to scare his little wife. “Assistant Liu and I are busy with work. I’m not meeting another woman. Don’t let your imagination run wild. Go to sleep.”

After coaxing Fang Xiaonuan to hang up the phone, Ji Lingchen held the single page in his hand and read it more than ten times!

Assistant Liu said somewhat anxiously, “CEO, we also didn’t expect that Madam’s petite body would have such explosive power, right?”

The information on the single page told him that his petite wife really packed a punch.

As expected, Ji Lingchen did not return home for the entire night.

The next day, the three friends met in the classroom.

Liu Siyu said happily, “I’m so happy that the three of us are still alive.”

Ji Wen sighed and said, “Wrong. The two of you are still alive. I’m dead.”

Fang Xiaonuan lay on the table without saying a word. She even closed her eyes as she listened to the lecture.

Liu Siyu patted Ji Wen and asked softly, “What happened to Xiaonuan?”

“My uncle must have taught her a lesson,” Ji Wen replied.

Liu Siyu immediately went to Fang Xiaonuan’s side and asked, “Did Ji Lingchen beat you up last night?”

Fang Xiaonuan did not even open her eyes. She just shook her head.

Liu Siyu asked, “Then did he scold you?”

Fang Xiaonuan kept shaking her head.

Liu Siyu continued to guess. “Do you think she’s upset about forfeiting the competition yesterday?”

“Xiaoyu, my husband is ignoring me.”

Fang Xiaonuan’s voice was hoarse. She leaned on the table and cried, “Last night, he went back to the office to work overtime instead of staying home with me. I made a mistake and I admitted it, but he just wouldn’t listen.”

“This morning, I called him, and he answered and said he was busy. Why are relationships so hard? If only I were single. Then, I wouldn’t care about his feelings.”

Ji Wen said, “How did you admit your mistake? Did you admit that you are ‘Nan Nan’, or did you just admit to being a contestant in the competition? You would also have to explain how you found that place, who told you about it, and why you participated in the competition. Have you thought about how to explain all this?”

Liu Siyu frowned. She looked at her best friend who was in so much pain. “Xiaonuan, if this is too much, just tell CEO Ji that I brought you there. If your husband comes looking for me, I’ll tell him that my brother brought me there. My brother definitely won’t ignore me.”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head again. “No need. If I continue to lie to him, I’ll only feel worse.”

Ji Wen said, “Then don’t say anything. I’ve already been beaten up. I don’t want that to be in vain. Just pretend that you didn’t go yesterday. I’m the only one who went.”

Fang Xiaonuan turned. “Ji Wen, why are you taking the blame for me?”

Ji Wen said, “You didn’t even tell your parents about this, but you told me and Siyu. Since you trust me so much, I’ll take the blame for you.”

Fang Xiaonuan looked at the righteous Ji Wen and said guiltily, “Xiaowen, I’m sorry for leaving you behind yesterday.”

It would have been better if she had not mentioned it. However, Ji Wen was furious when she mentioned it!

However, if it were him, he would have made the same choice. After all, he was Ji Lingchen’s nephew. He would only be beaten up!

…

In the afternoon, Ji Lingchen returned home. Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen were already at home.

Seeing Ji Lingchen return, Fang Xiaonuan immediately ran to him. “Hubby, you’re back.”

Ji Lingchen saw the wariness in her eyes. He reached out to hug his wife, but quickly let go. “Be good. I still have things to do. Go entertain yourself for a while.”

Then, he pointed at Ji Wen and said loudly, “Get your *ss up here right now.”

Ji Wen sat on the sofa, leisurely playing on the phone. When he heard his uncle call him, he immediately got up and followed Ji Lingchen upstairs to the study.

“Uncle, if you want to teach me a lesson, you should have said so earlier. Don’t make me worry.” Ji Wen was just short of entering the small dark room to receive his punishment.

Ji Lingchen said, “I don’t know what you are doing, but I’m warning you. If anything happens to your aunt, I’ll settle the score with you. Don’t even think about going to that place again.”

Ji Wen thought of his uncle’s valiant wife. Would she listen to him?

If Fang Xiaonuan listened to him, she would have turned over a new leaf long ago. She would not have exploited him for so many years.

“Do you understand?” Ji Lingchen asked coldly.

Ji Wen did not dare to agree. If he did and did not keep to his word, his uncle would only punish him even more harshly. He might as well not agree from the start.

At this moment, someone knocked on the study door. A soft voice probed, “Hubby, can I come in?”

Ji Wen said, “Uncle, she was waiting for you all night last night. Today, she was crying on the table at school.”

Ji Lingchen frowned when he heard this. Had he not told her to sleep first last night?

However, how could she fall asleep so easily when she was thinking about someone?
