Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ji Lingchen kept silent.
Fang Xiaonuan was completely enraged. “If I were in a relationship with Ji Wen, would I still marry you? Can you find a decent excuse for lying? It’s out of character and unbecoming.”
Ji Lingchen controlled his temper and suppressed his anger. He said, “You went out with Ji Wen to watch movies, go shopping, and even went on trips together. You both did everything that a boyfriend and girlfriend should do. Aren’t you two a couple? Xiaowen met your parents. Haven’t you two been together for a lifetime? Xiaowen personally admitted that you two had a relationship. Could it be fake? Fang Xiaonuan, while you were with Xiaowen, you were playing around with him right under my nose. At the same time, you were hanging on to me. You called me in the middle of the night and told me to come home to sleep. You were acting coquettishly and calling me husband. Are all women as hypocritical as you?”
When Fang Xiaonuan heard Ji Lingchen’s words, she was confused again. It seemed that there was a misunderstanding between the husband and wife. Moreover, this misunderstanding was not small. If she allowed it to continue, the consequences would be out of control.
“Ji Lingchen, do you think that your nephew and I are ex-boyfriend and girlfriend?” Fang Xiaonuan asked.
“Isn’t that so?”
Fang Xiaonuan asked again, “So you didn’t let me transfer to business school and didn’t let Ji Wen transfer classes because you didn’t want our ‘old relationship to rekindle’?”
This time, Ji Lingchen did not answer. He looked at Fang Xiaonuan with a blank look in his eyes and asked sincerely, “Will you rekindle your old relationship?”
“Nonsense! Rekindle?! How can it be reignited if it hasn’t been ignited in the first place? I don’t understand. How does that brain of yours manage such a big company? And a business emperor? Ugh, Ji Wen is my little sidekick. How can I have feelings for my own little brother? Am I crazy? You are really unreasonable!” Fang Xiaonuan placed her hand on her forehead. She was a little speechless. After going around in circles, it turned out that the source of the misunderstanding was here. Then, she could only let Ji Wen down first.
Ji Lingchen listened to Fang Xiaonuan’s words. Her nephew was her little brother? Her little sidekick? Then what was the relationship between them?
Fang Xiaonuan calmed down. Since there was a misunderstanding, she had to resolve it. She began to tell Ji Lingchen the story in chronological order. “In the second grade of elementary school, he wanted to bully me and I beat him up. Then, I returned the favor. In grade one, he went to me for revenge, and I destroyed him instantly. In grade one, he still couldn’t understand his own strength and challenged me again. I hit him a little too hard this time and beat him up badly…”
In line Fang Xiaonuan’s story, Ji Lingchen did remember that his nephew had been badly beaten up for a period of time and had even taken a leave of absence. It turned out that the girl who had beaten him up was his little wife. He sat on the sofa and continued listening to Fang Xiaonuan.
“After graduating from high school, he and I, along with Siyu, and one more genius student coincidentally went to the same university. Ji Wen had chosen business school in order to avoid me. He thought that he had escaped from my clutches, but he didn’t expect that I would marry you and become his aunt.”
Ji Lingchen was immersed in his memories. When Ji Wen first met Fang Xiaonuan, he did not look surprised. Instead, he looked shocked.
Fang Xiaonuan continued, “He had asked me to keep this a secret. He had always been the tyrant at home. He loved his reputation and didn’t want me to tell everyone about the eleven years of his student days when I bullied him. In exchange, he promised that if there were any more disputes between his mother and me, he would mediate the conflict and protect me. And I would help him hide the fact that he was my underling. That time when I went back to my house, it was not surprising that my parents knew him. This is because he would come to my house every winter and summer vacation to help me with my homework. When he came to my house, Siyu was always there. My parents also knew that I always bullied Ji Wen in school. After that, you asked me about my relationship with Ji Wen. At that time, I promised Ji Wen that I wouldn’t tell his family about him being my underling. So, I told you about things I did with Siyu. The shopping and traveling didn’t happen between Ji Wen and me. The real person I went on those outings with was my best friend, Siyu.”
Ji Lingchen looked into the girl’s eyes, which were as clear as water. He had already begun to believe her. If that was really the case, then he had misunderstood the relationship between the two of them from the very beginning. “Then why did Xiaowen make such a big fuss? Why did he not hesitate to anger the old man who could protect him for a while to keep you here?”
Fang Xiaonuan answered in detail. “He thought he was smart and thought that you would force yourself on me that night. After all, we’ve been friends for more than ten years. He won’t turn a blind eye to my problems. At least I can call for help at home. He can save me.”
