Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife

245 Think of it as Faith

Later on, Ji Wen had figured out what his family was thinking. Every Spring Festival, he would hide outside and invite Liu Siyu and Fang Xiaonuan to spend the new year with him. If he went home, his family would make him do bad things. Even if he did not comply, he would be beaten up for no reason. One Spring Festival, his family called him to come home, but he refused to go back.

Seeing that Ji Wen was not coming home, Feng Qi had an idea and called Ji Lingchen. “Lingchen, Xiaowen is missing. He’s not picking up his phone either.”

Not long after, a Maybach picked up the “lost” nephew after finding him wandering an empty street. Ji Lingchen did not even need to get out of the car. As soon as Ji Wen saw the license plate, he was scared to tears and got in the car himself.

It was fate. Fang Xiaonuan was there that day. She was wearing thick clothes and a scarf that covered half of her face as she watched Ji Lingchen’s car drive past her.

Ji Lingchen had not noticed the little girl who was dressed like a penguin standing on the street. Perhaps their fate was predestined. The two of them chatted for a long time before they continued to flip through the photo album.

Mayor Ji saw the two of them as soon as he entered the door. “Xiaonuan, you’re here?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Big brother, I’m looking at some old photos. My husband and Xiaoyu are in them.”

Mayor Ji glanced at the photo album and sat opposite the two.

Mayor Ji hesitated for a moment before sighing softly. He said to Fang Xiaonuan in a meaningful tone, “Xiaonuan, Lingchen will only listen to you now. You mentioned Xiaoyu. I assume that my wife told you everything that happened. I’m begging you. Please advise Lingchen to give up and stop searching. If this goes on, he’ll really go crazy.”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head, her gaze steady. “Big brother, I’m sorry. I can’t promise you this. I know you’re doing this for his own good, but I choose to believe him. I won’t persuade him to give up. As long as he wants to continue looking, I’ll support him unconditionally and be by his side through it all.”

“Searching alone would be hard. With me by his side, my husband won’t go crazy even if he spends the rest of his life searching for her.”

Hearing this, Mayor Ji went silent.

Feng Qi looked at her sister-in-law and patted Fang Xiaonuan’s hand. “We feel very guilty about Xiaoyu going missing. If it wasn’t for Xiaowen, Xiaoyu wouldn’t have gone missing, and Mom wouldn’t have passed away.”

Fang Xiaonuan was understanding and consoled her self-blaming sister-in-law. “Those people went after Xiaowen because he’s the eldest grandson of the Ji family. Kidnapping him was more useful than kidnapping Xiaoyu. My husband was young back then, so he could only save one of them. If Xiaowen was kidnapped and if he disappeared for so many years, you wouldn’t be able to survive it, sister-in-law.”

In the end, Feng Qi might have fallen ill from longing.

No matter who went missing, Ji Lingchen would still feel that it was his fault and blame himself.

Mayor Ji hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, “But Xiaonuan, how do we find someone who might already be dead?”

“It’s okay,” Fang Xiaonuan said after some thought. “We can have faith as long as we’re alive.”

After she finished speaking, she stood up and took advantage of their daze to secretly hide a photograph behind her phone. “Big brother, sister-in-law, I’ll head back first.”

As soon as she left the room, she met Ji Wen, who had just come out of Ji Lingchen’s study.

The two of them looked at each other.

“Why were you with my mother?”

“What were you doing in my husband’s study?”

The two of them questioned each other at the same time.

However, neither of them seemed willing to tell the other what they had done, so they could only stare at each other.

After that, the two of them walked past each other, they went to meet the family members they were looking for.

Fang Xiaonuan entered her husband’s study, while Ji Wen went to his parents ‘bedroom.

“Hubby, why did you ask Ji Wen to come here?”

“We were talking about the little dark room. Where did you go?”

Fang Xiaonuan’s eyes darted around, and she said playfully, “I’m not telling you.”

Today, the necklace on her neck was glistening brightly. Ji Lingchen’s mood brightened when he saw it. He sat on the chair and opened his arms. “Come here.”

Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips and ran into her husband’s arms with a smile.

On the other hand, in Feng Qi’s bedroom.

“What were you doing just now?” Feng Qi asked.

Ji Wen said, “What else could I be doing? Uncle was scolding me in the study. It was so loud. Didn’t you hear it?”

Ji Wen poured himself a glass of water and said casually, “Mom, Dad, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Feng Qi said as she put away the photo album.

“I want to move out and live by myself,” Ji Wen said.

He no longer felt that this house was right for him. He felt that Fang Xiaonuan and his uncle would not be moving out for now. If he were to continue living here, he would be beaten to death one day!
