Chapter 216: Promiscuity After Drinking

Every time Ji Lingchen went to look for Xiaoyu, he would always have hope. However, in the end, he was always disappointed.

As more time passed, Old Master Ji said less and less about the matter. He would rather his second son think that his sister was still alive, so that his mental state would remain somewhat intact. If he lost his mental stability, then he would be like a walking corpse.

Old Master Ji had been enduring this for the sake of his sons. He had given his son hope, and taken on the despair himself.

This was also one of the reasons why he wanted his youngest son to start his own family. That way, once he was gone, his youngest son would not be alone. He would have a home. His eldest son was already a middle-aged man. It was time for him to learn the truth about these things. After he passed, his eldest son would be tasked with taking care of the graves of his wife and daughter.

Old Master Ji and Mayor Ji talked until late at night. Mayor Ji finally understood his father’s good intentions. He went back to his room with red eyes.

Feng Qi had been waiting for him, but she had fallen asleep. Her posture had not changed. She was holding a book, but she was asleep now.

Mayor Ji walked over, lifted the quilt, and carried his wife to the bed. He looked at the woman in front of him who had been with him for many years and given him a family. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

Feng Qi woke up immediately and looked at her husband, whose eyes were red and swollen. “Honey, why are you crying?” she asked, immediately getting up.

Mayor Ji shook his head. “No. An insect bit the area under my eyes. The swelling will go down tomorrow. Go to sleep.”

Feng Qi knew that her husband did not want to say anything, so she did not ask any more questions. She got up and went to get an ice pack to help his swelling go down.

Mayor Ji lay on his wife’s lap. He could not fight the tears that welled up and fell into his wife’s lap. Feng Qi was heartbroken, but she still did not say anything. She just bent down and kissed her husband. She comforted her husband in her own way.

The next day, at dawn, Ji Lingchen went for an early morning jog. He even went to Ji Wen’s bedroom on the way and pulled his nephew out of bed.

Ji Wen had just escaped punishment in the dark room last night. He asked with a confused expression, “Uncle, what are you doing?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Come with me on a morning jog.”

Ji Wen immediately understood that his uncle would give him trouble again. He could only obediently put on his clothes and go out with his uncle.

The two of them ran around the courtyard of their home.

Ji Lingchen warned, “I won’t be at home for the next few days. Take care of your school affairs. Also, don’t go to Silver Field. If you dare to go there again, I’ll come home and break your legs!”

Ji Wen stayed silent.

Ji Lingchen continued, “Also, remember to report Fang Xiaonuan’s whereabouts and actions to me every day.”

“That won’t do. Then wouldn’t I be a traitor?” Ji Wen refused.

As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle smacked the back of his head. “I asked you to protect her well.”

Ji Wen clutched the back of his head and grimaced in pain. “She doesn’t need me to protect her. It’s more like she’s protecting me.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Can you be useful? When I come back, I’ll find you a teacher. Learn to master Sanda.”

Ji Wen said shamelessly, “Even if I learn it, I won’t be able to beat her.”

Ji Lingchen stopped and turned to look at Ji Wen. “Do you want to be a good-for-nothing?”

Ji Wen shook his head.

Ji Lingchen stayed silent. He already was pretty useless, but he was his nephew. He could not really beat him to death.

After that, Ji Lingchen dragged Ji Wen on a few more laps before they went back inside.

In the villa, Fang Xiaonuan woke up. The first thing she did when she woke up was to look for her husband. She wore her pajamas downstairs and asked everyone she ran into. “Where’s my husband?”

The maid replied, “He’s standing right behind you.”

Fang Xiaonuan turned around and saw her husband, who was all smiles. He was dressed in sportswear, and his eyes were filled with affection. “My clingy wife is looking everywhere for me again, is she?”

Ji Lingchen realized that every nickname he had given his wife thus far was especially appropriate!

Fang Xiaonuan pouted and threw herself into her husband’s arms. “I thought you left for the business trip without saying goodbye to me. I wanted to see you off at the airport!”

“You can say goodbye to me after breakfast,” Ji Lingchen said.

“Then, I’m going to see you off!” Fang Xiaonuan said.

Ji Lingchen smiled briefly and said, “Okay, then you have to eat quickly. After you send me off, you still have to go to class.”

After eating, Ji Wen ended up being the driver again. The lovebirds were cuddling in the backseat.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, you have to call me every day. You can only be around men!”

Ji Lingchen hugged the young woman in his arms. “Okay.”

Fang Xiaonuan said worriedly, “If a woman asks for your contact information, you can tell her that your wife won’t let her have it!”

Ji Lingchen said, “No problem!”

Fang Xiaonuan reminded him, “Also, when I’m not by your side, don’t drink too much. Men are prone to initiating sex after drinking. If you drink too much, make sure you kiss me!”
