Chapter 63: Absolutely Not
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You have 15 minutes to pack up. I’ll wait for you downstairs.” Ji Lingchen gave his wife an order with a cold expression. His tone was cold as well and he gave off a heavy sense of oppression.
After Ji Lingchen left, Fang Xiaonuan’s worried heart finally calmed down. She could already imagine what life in the Ji family would be like if she were to reveal the fact that she had bullied Ji Wen for 11 years. She could not say it. She definitely could not say it.
Fifteen minutes later, Fang Xiaonuan appeared in the car right on time. She turned to look at her husband and realized that he had a serious expression on his face. His expression could not be any darker. Seeing this, Fang Xiaonuan did not dare to say anything. The two of them remained silent throughout the journey.
When they reached home, Ji Lingchen entered the house and barked an instruction at his nephew, who was lying on the sofa. “Ji Wen, go to my study!”
The confused Ji Wen said, “Uncle, what did I do this time?”
Ji Lingchen glared fiercely at Ji Wen and said, “Don’t make me repeat myself!” After saying that, Ji Lingchen went upstairs and waited for him in the study.
After a while, Ji Wen walked up. He entered the room and closed the door. He stood in front of Ji Lingchen obediently. When he realized how angry the man in front of him was, he did not even dare to take a deep breath.
Ji Lingchen asked him snappily, “What exactly is your relationship with Fang Xiaonuan?”
“Just deskmates, classmates, and friends!” Ji Wen thought to himself that it would be too embarrassing to tell him that I was her “little brother”. He must not let his uncle know.
This answer was exactly the same as Fang Xiaonuan’s. Ji Lingchen mistakenly thought that the two of them had already come to an agreement beforehand. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is there a history between the two of you?”
“What? That sounds like torture!” Ji Wen was stunned. “Uncle, who said that?” Ji Wen had to clarify this matter.
Ji Lingchen answered evenly and without blushing. “Who else could have told me this apart from the other person involved?”
Ji Wen thought to himself, ‘Fang Xiaonuan, you are really ruthless. You could’ve rejected my uncle directly. How dare you say that we have a relationship? Did I get an ex-girlfriend for no reason?’
......
Ji Wen misunderstood Fang Xiaonuan’s excuse for having a relationship. He thought it had something to do with his uncle courting Fang Xiaonuan. Fang Xiaonuan probably thought highly of him if she wanted to use him as an excuse to reject his terrifying uncle.
“Oh, no wonder you’re so angry. I wonder if Xiaonuan can win your favor. That’s right! I have a relationship with her. Do you think about it? We’ve been deskmates for eleven years. How can there not be any exciting stories between us?” Ji Wen thought smartly, ‘I’ll save her one more time!’
Seeing how Ji Wen generously admitted to having a ‘relationship’ with his wife after his little trick, Ji Lingchen clenched his fists tightly, and it was like the temperature around him dropped a few degrees. When he suddenly learned that his wife and nephew were exes, he almost lost his composure.
No wonder Fang Xiaonuan had been laughing ever since Ji Wen returned. No wonder they had held hands and ran out to play as soon as they met. No wonder… Ji Wen had risked his life to do his best to keep Fang Xiaonuan in the Ji family’s old mansion.
The silence between Ji Lingchen and Ji Wen was loaded. Ji Lingchen suppressed the urge to beat Ji Wen up. He chased him out.
Ji Wen immediately ran out of the study. Only then did he feel the warmth of summer. ‘Oh my God! My uncle was too scary!’
Fang Xiaonuan heard someone come out of the study. She opened the bedroom door and quietly stuck her head out to see Ji Wen, who was still worried. She called out to him in a low voice, “Come here…”
Ji Wen looked over when he heard that and immediately headed towards Fang Xiaonuan. “D*mn you! You lied and didn’t even discuss it with me before telling my uncle about our relationship?”
Fang Xiaonuan pulled him into the bedroom and closed the door quietly. “Your uncle was in a hurry this morning and I didn’t have time to discuss it with you. Ji Wen, what were you guys talking about just now?”
Before Ji Wen could say anything, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Ji Lingchen saw the two of them alone and clenched his fists tightly. Ji Wen saw that the situation was not right and immediately fled.
Based on their current relationship, he was Fang Xiaonuan’s ‘ex-boyfriend’, and Fang Xiaonuan was his uncle’s wife, so wasn’t he now his uncle’s love rival? The scariest thing was that his uncle was the person he was most afraid of.
It was over. Ji Wen had scolded Fang Xiaonuan for being unreliable more than once in his heart. He clearly knew that he was afraid of his uncle, yet he still attested to a made-up relationship between himself and his uncle’s wife. He could have lied some other way.
Ji Lingchen’s expression was dark. He did not care about Ji Wen who was running away. Instead, he closed the door. The aura he gave off scared Fang Xiaonuan so much that she shivered.
It was strange. She had been fine when she left in the morning. Why did Ji Lingchen become so terrifying when she went back to her parents’ house? It was hard to understand.
