Chapter 44: The Two Demons Are Part of One Family
The story between the two could not be told in one night.
Old Master Ji called Ji Wen over and asked him to sit with him. “Your uncle won’t dare to do anything to you when you’re with Grandpa.”
Fang Xiaonuan’s gaze was fixed on Ji Wen. She said with a smile, “Ji Wen, so you’re afraid of my husband!” The Ji family believed that Fang Xiaonuan was saying “afraid”, but to Ji Wen, Fang Xiaonuan meant “still afraid”.
The youth who had been in high spirits at the Ji family’s entrance was now sitting timidly beside Old Master Ji. Of course, the Ji family did not expect Fang Xiaonuan to know Ji Wen. The person in question was also surprised. After finding out that Ji Wen was part of the Ji family, she was now feeling entertained.
Because Ji Wen had returned, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Lingchen decided to move out in the afternoon. During lunch, Ji Wen gave Fang Xiaonuan a look. They had been deskmates for more than ten years, so there must be some tacit understanding between the two of them. With just a glance, Fang Xiaonuan knew what he was trying to do.
After lunch, Fang Xiaonuan found an opportunity to sneak up the stairs. Seeing that no one else was paying attention, Ji Wen held Fang Xiaonuan’s hand and they walked toward the backyard. However, the man on the second floor saw this clearly.
Ji Lingchen placed his hands on the railing and looked in the direction his nephew and wife had run off to. His Adam’s apple bobbed, and his gaze became sharp. He pretended to walk down the stairs as if nothing had happened and walked toward the backyard too.
When they reached the small dark corner in the backyard, Fang Xiaonuan shook off Ji Wen’s hand. “Nephew, I’m your aunt now. You have to keep a certain distance from your aunt.”
“D*mn you! Fang Xiaonuan, why did you marry my uncle?” Ji Wen questioned Fang Xiaonuan.
Fang Xiaonuan smiled. “Shouldn’t you be begging me not to tell your family about your embarrassing incidents at school?”
Ji Wen was extremely frustrated. He was upset that Fang Xiaonuan had married her uncle. “Why do you think you should be married to my uncle?”
Fang Xiaonuan asked, “What’s wrong with your uncle?”
Ji Wen whispered into Fang Xiaonuan’s ear. He was so mischievous and he was ready to stir up trouble. He really could not accept the fact that two demons were part of the same family.
......
“Really?” Fang Xiaonuan widened her eyes in shock. She covered her mouth with both hands, afraid that she would shout out loud. “Your uncle really...”
Ji Wen nodded and said very sincerely, “I overheard what my grandfather said. Shhh... Don’t tell anyone. I only told you because you’re my senior.”
Fang Xiaonuan nodded. “Don’t worry. Of course, I won’t tell anyone about such a big thing.” The two of them were leaning close as they whispered to each other. Ji Lingchen stood behind the two of them and just looked at them.
“Emmmm, that... Fang Xiaonuan, please don’t tell my family that you knocked me down three times.”
She sighed. “Don’t worry, I won’t ruin your pride. Besides, if I tell your family, your mother will kill me.” Fang Xiaonuan patted Ji Wen on the shoulder. “I really didn’t expect your uncle to be Ji Lingchen. I only knew that you were a second generation, but I didn’t know that you were a rich second generation.”
Ji Wen said, “You haven’t told me why you married my uncle!”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “That’s a good question. I also want to know why I married your uncle.” Only Old Master Ji knew the real reason for this ridiculous marriage, but he had not disclosed it.
“Hey, look, have you entered that small black room?” Fang Xiaonuan said, pointing at the small black room where she had been locked up for a while.
Ji Wen said, “That room was specially designed for me by my uncle. How could I not have entered it before?”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “So you were the one who drew the vertical lines on the wall?”
“Do you mean that you’ve been in there?” The two of them were very surprised.
“Yes, I drew those.”
“Yes, I’ve gone inside before.” The two of them immediately saw each other as if they were comrades-in-arms. Fang Xiaonuan shook hands with Ji Wen. “So we’re on the same side. We share weal and woe!”
“That’s not right, Fang Xiaonuan. You’re a new wife. Why did you enter the dark room?” Ji Wen was a little curious. Usually, he would be thrown in when he made an unforgivable mistake. How could Fang Xiaonuan be punished when she was a new wife?
“You don’t know because you haven’t been home. Your mother and I fought countless times and even got into a physical fight.”
Ji Wen said, “Senior, I thank you for showing mercy to my mother.”
“No need to thank me. I never knew that she was your mother. I’ll be moving away in the afternoon. I won’t have any more disagreements with your mother.” Fang Xiaonuan only found out last night that someone had coaxed Feng Qi to behave like this toward her.
