Ji Lingchen shook his head. “No matter who she is, does she have the same status as my wife?”

“Of course not. My husband is the king of the business world.” Fang Xiaonuan had unknowingly gotten closer to Ji Lingchen, so she was no longer as reserved. Instead, she started to gossip with Ji Lingchen, “She is Lin Rou’s lackey. Wasn’t Lin Rou your suitor?”

“She had wishful thinking. I’m a married man. Why would I need a suitor? If you feel unhappy, you can go and provoke her. I’ll definitely stand with you. If you can’t, I can go with you,” Ji Lingchen blurted out without thinking.

Fang Xiaonuan smiled. The smile reached her eyes. This feeling of being protected by someone in the open and in the dark was really good. “Hubby, isn’t it bad for me to go and provoke her? People will think that I’m unreasonable.”

Ji Lingchen said, “Your husband is Ji Lingchen. Of course, you have the right to be unreasonable.”

Fang Xiaonuan’s smile became even more charming. She and Ji Lingchen looked at each other. “Hubby, why are you suddenly so good to me?”

“Do I need a reason to be good to my wife?” Ji Lingchen asked back.

Fang Xiaonuan said somewhat dejectedly, “Just because I’m your wife? Is there any other reason?”

Ji Lingchen did not understand the answer the woman wanted. “What reason do you want to hear?” After he said this, the smile on Fang Xiaonuan’s face immediately disappeared.

“Thank you for what you did for me today. I’m going to take a shower.”

Ji Lingchen felt that his wife was originally very happy, but after he asked the last question, her expression had immediately changed, and she found an excuse to leave. The man did not understand. Could it be that he said something wrong?

Fang Xiaonuan, who made an excuse to go to the bathroom, was very disappointed. In the past two days, Ji Wen and Siyu had told her that Ji Lingchen liked her and she somewhat believed it. But just now, she had asked him herself. The reason why Ji Lingchen was good to her was only that she was his wife. There was no other reason at all. It was only because she was his wife. If it was someone else who married him, then he would also use these benefits to help them.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaonuan sighed dejectedly. “You don’t even know what’s real, so why are you daydreaming!”

Because Fang Xiaonuan had something on her mind, she took a long bath. The clueless man outside almost went into the bathroom to fish her out.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Alright, alright, I’ll be out in a moment.” She wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Without raising her head, she said to Ji Lingchen, “Go take a bath.”

Ji Lingchen saw the droplets of water on her body, and then looked at her flushed cheeks from the long bath. “Did you fall asleep in there?”

“No, I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I lost track of time.” With that, Fang Xiaonuan took out the hairdryer and went to the dressing table to comb her hair.

Ji Lingchen saw that his wife was sulking, but he did not voice his doubts. Instead, he walked into the bathroom to take a shower. By the time he finished showering and left the bathroom, Fang Xiaonuan was already lying on the bed.

“Xiaonuan, are you angry?” Ji Lingchen voiced the doubts in his heart.

Fang Xiaonuan replied, “Ah? What would I be angry about?”

Ji Lingchen shook his head. He must have thought too much. He lifted the blanket, took a book from the bedside, and went to read in bed. Fang Xiaonuan was lying beside him, feeling a little uncomfortable. Her eyes were blurry as she looked at her phone.

The man naturally noticed her discomfort. He closed the curtains and confiscated Fang Xiaonuan’s phone. “Stop playing. Go to sleep.”

Ji Lingchen turned over again. He reached past Fang Xiaonuan to turn off the bedside lamp. In the end, only the lamp beside him remained. Then, he did not lie down properly. Instead, he supported his body with his elbows as he looked down at his young wife.

Fang Xiaonuan’s nervous heart was in her throat. The experience from last night surfaced in her mind. Then, Ji Lingchen leaned over and kissed her. After a moment, he reluctantly stopped and said, “Go to sleep!”

Fang Xiaonuan complained softly, “You kissed me again…”

Ji Lingchen smiled. He reached out and let Fang Xiaonuan lie on his arm. He pulled her into his arms and tucked her in. His goal was to get Fang Xiaonuan closer to him.

“Then do you want to kiss me back?” Ji Lingchen whispered into Fang Xiaonuan’s ear.

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and shyly crawled under the blanket. Ji Lingchen lifted her up and let her face rest on his chest.

“Ji Lingchen, our relationship is not normal,” Fang Xiaonuan said.

Ji Lingchen laughed. The bedroom was very quiet. His voice was clear. “In ancient times, weren’t all marriages just like ours?”
