Chapter 100: Brief Moments of Peace

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Lingchen was still worried that his father would feel uncomfortable, so he took out a piece of cake and ate with him.

The ward was very quiet. Only the sound of breathing and chewing could be heard.

Ji Lingchen and his father had not gotten along well for more than ten years. They never shared such peaceful moments.

Old Master Ji coughed. Ji Lingchen immediately went to pour him some water. The father and son did not say anything else. Old Master Ji was even enjoying the momentary peace between himself and his second son.

After they finished the pastries, Fang Xiaonuan returned. She was holding a bottle of fruit juice. Just now, she had also realized that her father-in-law must be hungry. However, she knew that his right hand was hooked up to the IV. It would be hard for him to eat, so he needed to rely on someone to feed him. Meanwhile, she and her husband did not know how to feed him, so they forced themselves to say that they were not hungry.

Fang Xiaonuan had just said that she was going to the corridor to finish the spicy junk food, but in reality, she did not. After all, eating in the corridor would disturb other people. She left the in-patient department and jogged to the supermarket outside the hospital. She bought a bottle of fruit juice for her father-in-law. She twisted open the bottle cap and handed it to Old Master Ji. “Dad, drink this to satiate your hunger first. When you’re done with the infusion, Lingchen can drive us out for lunch. The food in the hospital is terrible.”

Old Master Ji looked at the bottle and coughed. “Did you run out to buy some juice for me?”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded. “I also bought another packet of spicy junk food for myself.”

Old Master Ji and Ji Lingchen knew that this little girl was lying. She had obviously gone there just to buy the juice.

Old Master Ji was so touched that he took a sip. He was still thinking about the pastries he had eaten with his son. He thought back to some old memories, and without realizing it, he started to tear up.

Fang Xiaonuan stopped eating snacks. She sat on the sofa and looked at her father-in-law’s IV setup in boredom. Ji Lingchen saw that she was sitting quite uncomfortably, so he stretched out his arm and hugged his wife. He let her nuzzle into his arms.

Fang Xiaonuan did not act pretentious. Instead, she leaned closer to her husband and really leaned against his chest. “Hubby, after Dad finishes his IV treatment, let’s go eat at Shuxiang Garden!”

Ji Lingchen’s lips curled into a faint smile. “What, are you craving?”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded. “However, the food there is very expensive. I can’t bear to spend money on it. You have money, so we can spend your money.”

Ji Lingchen started chatting with his wife. “Silly girl, isn’t what’s mine yours?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hmm, that’s different. Even though we’re one now, I still feel like I didn’t spend any money whenever you paid for something.”

Ji Lingchen said dotingly, “Alright, you can order whatever you want later. I’ll pay.” After a pause, he asked again, “Before you married me, didn’t you have money?”

As far as he knew, although the Fang family was not a big family, their annual net profit was not low. If she wanted to go to Shuxiang Garden for a meal, it would have been easy.

Fang Xiaonuan answered without thinking, “I have money, but I can’t bear to spend it. I would always ask my father to take me out to eat, but he was always busy. He had to socialize and talk about corporate matters, so he did not have time to accompany me. And my mother has never been extravagant. Occasionally, she would accompany me. My brother was not home. It’s too awkward to go alone. So, I rarely do.”

Ji Lingchen thought to himself, ‘So that’s why.’ It was because his wife was not willing to spend her own money. However, she loved to spend other people’s money.

Coincidentally, he was very rich.

After Ji Lingchen heard his little wife’s words, he said bluntly, “In the future, do whatever you want to do. If you’re not willing to spend your own money, you’ll need to get a receipt. When you get home, your husband will reimburse you.”

“Really?” Fang Xiaonuan raised her head and looked up at her husband. Her eyes were filled with surprise as she sought confirmation.

“Of course. In the future, the company will add a new account — the exclusive account of the CEO’s wife.” After Ji Lingchen finished speaking, Fang Xiaonuan hid her face shyly in his embrace.

The poor patient, who was lying alone on the hospital bed, experienced a moment of regret. ‘Why did I have to facilitate this marriage and let them act like this in front of me?’

Before this, they were both unwilling to get married. He was the one who had threatened them. They only became a couple in the end. Now, this pair was blatantly showing off their love in front of a patient, not caring about his feelings at all. Old Master Ji hated this young couple.

An hour later, the nurse came to remove the needle. This also meant that Old Master Ji was relieved. After the needle was removed, he immediately chased the annoying couple out of the ward.

“Hey, Dad, why are you kicking us out?” Fang Xiaonuan was pushed out of the ward, followed closely by Ji Lingchen.
