Chapter 97: You Can’t Learn It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You can’t learn it, so don’t waste your energy.” Old Master Ji knew that his eldest daughter-in-law was different from his second daughter-in-law. Fang Xiaonuan had been doted on since she was young. Judging by how the Fang family protected her, she definitely did not suffer much while growing up. To let a person who was doted on learn to serve others… Based on Old Master Ji’s experience, he thought that this was not something she could learn.

Ji Lingchen was doing well in feeding him. At least, he did not burn him. One person fed him, while the other kept up the conversation so that the patient would not feel bored. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Just as Ji Lingchen finished feeding him, Old Master Ji realized that his hospital gown was stained with a lot of rice grains. He fell silent. It had just been one meal! What a mess!

The mischievous Fang Xiaonuan walked over to her husband’s side and tugged at his sleeve. “Hubby, so you don’t know how to feed either!”

Ji Lingchen’s expression was awkward, which did not happen often. He replied, “This is my first time.”

Old Master Ji was restless. He could not change his clothes even if he wanted to. However, if he lay down again, the bed sheets would get dirty too. Thus, he said with an unhappy expression, “You two aren’t here to accompany me. You’re simply here to torture me on purpose!”

Fang Xiaonuan blinked quickly, feeling guilty. She said without hesitation, “Dad, you should be overjoyed. After all, you’re the first patient Lingchen and I are taking care of.”

Old Master Ji said, “So, should I feel honored?”

Fang Xiaonuan’s face was not red. She nodded calmly and said, “Yes!”

Ji Lingchen lowered his head to look at his little wife’s face. He was puzzled. How was she so brazen sometimes and so sensitive in other situations?

Old Master Ji was so angry that he could not even speak. What kind of top-notch daughter-in-law had married into his family?

However, Old Master Ji thought that it was over. Not long after, the nurse came to clean Old Master Ji up. The nurse saw the state of his clothes.

Old Master Ji was tired and wanted to lie down to sleep. However, he was also a clean freak. If his clothes were not clean, he could not lie down comfortably.

Fang Xiaonuan was the best at coming up with odd ideas. “Dad, take the needle out of your hand first. Then change your clothes, and then stick another needle back in.”

Old Master Ji could not help but yell at his daughter-in-law. “That’s easy for you to say. Stick another needle in my flesh? If you don’t hurt me, I’ll hurt you.”

Fang Xiaonuan continued to speak desperately. “It’s not a big deal. It’s like being bitten by a mosquito. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Old Master Ji pointed at the nurse and said, “Come, come, come. Quick, give my daughter-in-law an injection. She thinks it’s just like a mosquito bite, after all.”

The nurse was new and could not quite catch up with what Old Master Ji meant. She said carefully, “Mr. Ji, this lady doesn’t have an illness and can’t be given an injection.”

Old Master Ji’s brain spun quickly. “Who says she’s not sick? Her brain disease is so serious. Can’t you tell?”

Fang Xiaonuan immediately became anxious. “Dad, my brain is extremely smart. You’re old and muddle-headed and that’s why you think there’s something wrong with my brain.”

Old Master Ji said, “That was a terrible comeback. You think you’re the smartest. I think you’re only extremely smart.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “I still have hair, but Dad, you’re about to go bald.”

This argument between the old and young was too funny. The man, who was sitting beside them and watching this play out, smiled wider and wider. Even the new nurse was stifling her laughter.

It was rare for Ji Lingchen to be so happy. He was no longer smiling, but laughing heartily. When he laughed, the corners of his eyes wrinkled.

Hearing his daughter-in-law’s words, Old Master Ji angrily pulled the blanket aside and was about to get out of bed.

“Mr. Ji, you’re still hooked up to the IV. You can’t move around freely,” the nurse beside him immediately reminded him.

Old Master Ji pointed at Fang Xiaonuan angrily. “She… she said that I’m bald. I can’t take this lying down.”

Fang Xiaonuan glanced at him. ‘Oh my God! Dad is going to beat me up!’ Thus, she immediately hid in Ji Lingchen’s arms at lightning speed.

She was so fast that Ji Lingchen did not even have time to react. Suddenly, his wife was in his arms. She hugged his neck like a cat and even acted coquettishly to him. “Hubby, your wife is going to be beaten up by your father. Are you going to protect her?”

Ji Lingchen hugged his wife’s waist with one hand and lifted her legs with the other. “Of course, I’m going to protect her!”

“I’m so angry! The two of you, get out of here!” Old Master Ji was furious. These two were clearly here to take care of him, but in the end, they had made him furious.

Someone knocked on the ward door. Under the watchful gazes of the people in the ward, Fang Xiaonuan’s parents walked in with ‘Get Well Soon’ gifts.

The moment Fang Xiaonuan’s parents entered, they saw Ji Lingchen carrying their daughter while the patient stood beside them. The patient’s clothes were a little dirty, and he seemed to be quite angry.
