Ji Lingchen replied, “I don’t live in this house. I haven’t since I was young. Every time I come back, it’s mostly because of Ji Wen. I come back to discipline him. Everyone probably saw that I hit Ji Wen too hard, so they suspected that I was prone to violence!”

Fang Xiaonuan shifted so she was more comfortable in her husband’s arms. “That violent behavior is directed towards Ji Wen. You have to be gentler towards your wife. Sister-in-law is right. If you hit your wife, she will run away. If she runs away, she will be lost. If she is lost, she will never be found again.”

Ji Lingchen patted Fang Xiaonuan’s little behind. “Where do you want to run off to?”

“Hmph, I’m going back to my mother’s house!” Fang Xiaonuan covered the spot where she had just been smacked. Her face instantly turned red from embarrassment.

Ji Lingchen ruffled Fang Xiaonuan’s hair and asked, “Are you going back to your parents’ house to complain?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Yes, I’ll let my dad beat you up!”

Ji Lingchen said, “Haha, are you going back to your parents’ house to complain about me?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “I’ll tell them you beat me up!”

Ji Lingchen said, “Where did I hit you?”

Fang Xiaonuan suddenly lost her temper and did not say a word. It was a little embarrassing to be spanked, and she could not say it out loud. This made Ji Lingchen let out a hearty laugh again.

Fang Xiaonuan had a small temper. She turned around, her back facing Ji Lingchen, and ignored him. Her husband turned her over and hugged her again. This time, he did not tease the girl anymore. Instead, he patted her back gently and said softly, “Go to sleep. You still have to go to the hospital tomorrow.”

The next day, Fang Xiaonuan brought the food prepared by the servants to the hospital for her shift change. She was holding two ice cream sticks in her hands.

Ji Lingchen did not know how delicious this ice cream could be. She had eaten breakfast early in the morning and still needed two more.

“Honey, try them. Don’t worry, you will definitely fall in love with them.” Seeing her husband’s questioning gaze, Fang Xiaonuan raised her hand and fed her husband the ice cream. After all, he should taste it for himself.

Ji Lingchen expressed his refusal. He did not like sweet things. Fang Xiaonuan put her hand back and continued eating. When she arrived at the hospital, she had just finished eating her ice cream. She picked up the lunch box and entered the hospital.

Last night, Old Master Ji suddenly had a stomachache and could not stand it anymore. He only fell asleep after a while. Ji Wen had been up all night and his face was tired. Feng Qi and Mayor Ji were sitting in the room, taking a nap.

Fang Xiaonuan tiptoed into the ward. Feng Qi was resting her forehead on her hand and fell asleep. Fang Xiaonuan patted her shoulder and whispered, “Sister-in-law, I’m here.”

Feng Qi woke up and saw the couple. “Why are you here so early?”

Fang Xiaonuan placed the food on the table and sat down beside Feng Qi. “Lingchen and I came earlier. You and big brother can bring Ji Wen back to catch up on his sleep.”

Feng Qi looked at Ji Lingchen and Fang Xiaonuan. Then, she secretly observed Fang Xiaonuan’s exposed skin. When she found that there were no marks on her fair and tender skin, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Fang Xiaonuan felt her sister-in-law’s small movements. She smiled faintly. This sister-in-law was so cute. “Don’t worry, sister-in-law. Lingchen didn’t hit me. If we really fought, he wouldn’t be able to beat me.”

Feng Qi’s worried heart finally settled. She said, “Just now, I was dreaming that because Lingchen hit you, your relationship with Lingchen couldn’t go on.”

“Don’t worry! Dreams are the opposite of reality,” Fang Xiaonuan said.

From the moment he entered the ward, Ji Lingchen’s gaze had never left the old man on the hospital bed, but he was unwilling to ask. As his wife, Fang Xiaonuan understood her husband’s concern, so she took the initiative to ask on his behalf. “Sister-in-law, how was Dad last night?”

Feng Qi replied, “The injection stopped the pain, but later in the night, the pain became unbearable. I called the doctor over and only fell asleep after they gave him another injection.”

Ji Lingchen glanced at his wife. There were some things that he wanted to say, but he could not say them out loud. So, she spoke for him.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Then let’s not wake Dad up for dinner. Sister-in-law, you and big brother can bring Ji Wen home to rest. Lingchen and I will stay here. If there’s anything, we will handle it ourselves.”

Feng Qi rejected her proposal. “You are just like Ji Wen. You are still a child, and you don’t know how to take care of others yet. Lingchen is busy with work all day long, and he doesn’t seem like someone who knows how to take care of others either. The two of you don’t know anything. It’s better for you to go home!”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. “How can that be? The responsibility of taking care of Dad cannot fall on you and brother-in-law alone. Lingchen and I are also Dad’s children, so we naturally have the obligation to take care of him. Although I might be a little stupid about these things, it’s daytime now. There are many nurses in the hospital. If I don’t know what to do. I can consult the nurses.”
