Liu Siyu asked, “Then who did it? He handled it so perfectly in such a short time. Not only did he punish Gao Qianqian, he even cleared your name.”

Fang Xiaonuan thought for a moment. “Maybe it was my parents. Maybe they happened to be on the school forum last night and saw that someone was slandering me, so they acted.”

No matter how many excuses Fang Xiaonuan could think of, Liu Siyu and Ji Wen firmly believed that Ji Lingchen was the one who did it. In the end, she compromised and said to the two of them, “Fine! Fine! I’ll go back and ask Ji Lingchen about it.”

Ji Wen and Liu Siyu nodded heavily. “Yes, yes, yes, it was your man who did it!”

That night, Ji Lingchen got off work. Fang Xiaonuan sat under the eaves of the door and waited for him obediently. Ji Lingchen’s car stopped at the door. He got out of the car, and when Fang Xiaonuan saw him, she got up and walked towards him.

“Ji Lingchen… No, hubby. You…” Fang Xiaonuan wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She did not know how to say it. In the afternoon, she called her parents and realized that they did not know anything about what had been happening to her at school.

This matter was undoubtedly resolved by Ji Lingchen. He treated her well for no reason. When she was waiting for him just now, she could not help but let her imagination run wild. When she thought of her good friend saying that Ji Lingchen liked her, she recalled what she had done to make Ji Lingchen fall in love with her.

However, when she thought about it, she realized that since she married into the family, all she had cared about was fighting. She had also angered everyone and did not do anything to leave a good impression. Then, he definitely did not like her. However, she thought of the muddled kiss last night. She had nodded her head last night to lie to Ji Lingchen. She really did not know why.

Fang Xiaonuan was the kind of person who would not understand if you did not make it clear. Sometimes, she even thought that she was narcissistic.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Lingchen got out and locked the car. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan dotingly. Then, he reached out and put his arm around Fang Xiaonuan’s shoulder as he walked into the house. “Have you eaten?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. “I’m waiting for you.”

The corners of Ji Lingchen’s mouth curled up in a happy smile. “You don’t have to wait for me next time. Sometimes, I work overtime.”

Ji Wen was lying on the sofa. When he saw Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan come back together, he mouthed to Fang Xiaonuan, “Did you ask?”

Fang Xiaonuan replied, “I don’t know how to say it.”

Ji Wen continued to mouth, “Why are you so useless?”

Fang Xiaonuan stole a glance at the man next to her. She signaled Ji Wen with her eyes, “Why don’t you ask?”

Before she could receive Ji Wen’s mouthed response, Ji Lingchen suddenly intercepted the two of them, blocking their communication.

Ji Lingchen said, “Xiaowen’s eye disease hasn’t recovered. Don’t look him in the eye. You might get infected.”

Fang Xiaonuan did not realize that her husband was also great at picking on people. She replied and was dragged to the dining room to eat.

In the dining room, servants were waiting. She was not alone with Ji Lingchen. Fang Xiaonuan was even more embarrassed to ask. She could only wait until they returned to the bedroom. Only when the two of them were alone did she feel it was appropriate to ask.

Ji Lingchen also sensed that his wife had something to say to him. So, he grabbed her wrist and went upstairs early after dinner.

When they were alone in the bedroom, Fang Xiaonuan felt awkward again. “That… Hubby, about the matter that Ji Wen came to talk to you about last night, you…” Fang Xiaonuan stammered.

Ji Lingchen directly interrupted her embarrassment. “There’s no need to be nervous when talking to me. We’re husband and wife. If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to think so much.”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded. Since he had already said so, she did not hesitate to ask directly, “Were you responsible for retaliating against Gao Qianqian?”

“I was the one who instructed my men to do it,” Ji Lingchen admitted openly.

Fang Xiaonuan’s mouth was wide open in surprise. She grabbed Ji Lingchen’s white shirt with both hands. “It was really you? Why do you have a photo of me from before?”

Ji Lingchen said, “Who else could it be? As for your photo, why don’t you call your dad and ask him? He’ll have everything.”

“But I called my dad in the afternoon and asked him. My parents said they didn’t know anything about what happened to me at school.” Fang Xiaonuan bit her lip. She sounded a little coquettish when she spoke to Ji Lingchen. “When I called my parents in the afternoon, I thought they did it.”

Ji Lingchen smiled. He pointed at his wife’s forehead with his index finger. “I only asked your family for the photos of you from your younger days. I didn’t tell them what I’d use them for, so your parents didn’t know.”

“Hubby, do you know who Gao Qianqian is?” Fang Xiaonuan probed carefully.
