Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After accepting the invitation, Ji Wen did not say anything else. The husband and father-in-law in the back seat, on the other hand, were having a lively conversation.
Chairman Fang said, “Lingchen, don’t you feel that what happened today is a bit strange?” He had invited him, but for no apparent reason. Also, the gathering started ten minutes later than usual. Sothing must be going on.
Ji Lingchen’s eyes were clear and bright. He said calmly, “Internal strife in the company.” The person who had organized the gathering today was Director Tang of the Tang Corporation. He had intended to maintain a cooperative relationship with the Ji Corporation and extend the contract. But the people of his company seed to want him to make a fool of himself in public, which was why they had co up with this idea. If Ji Lingchen was going to vent his anger on Director Tang, then the cooperation would naturally be ruined. During the al, Ji Lingchen had thought of this. He had already asked Secretary Song to send soone to investigate the internal affairs of the Tang Corporation. After he had received the information, Ji Lingchen told his father-in-law.
“The second-in-command of the Tang Corporation wants to replace Director Tang. Only by destroying this contract renewal with the Ji Corporation will he have a chance to do that.”
“If Director Tang is able to convince
to continue the partnership, then it will prove that the Ji Corporation recognizes Director Tang’s ability, and his position will be unshakable.”
“That’s why the other party ca up with this idea, to have you appear at the gathering.”
“Although everyone was very happy at the dinner table, in truth, in their hearts, they already have their own judgnts about the Tang Corporation.”
Chairman Fang was filled with endless admiration for his son-in-law’s efficiency. He was practically omniscient. In the short ti it took to eat, he was able to understand this matter thoroughly. Looking at his son-in-law once more, Chairman Fang’s heart felt sowhat conflicted.
Chairman Fang asked, “Then will you renew your contract with Director Tang this ti?”
Ji Lingchen was silent for a mont before replying. “I’ll go ho and ask Xiaonuan.”
Chairman Fang said, “Ah? Why ask her? She doesn’t understand either.”
Ji Lingchen said, “But this ti… we have to listen to her.”
Chairman Fang did not ask any more questions. He could not understand them.
After a while, the car approached a 24-hour convenience store. Ji Lingchen asked Ji Wen to stop the car. He got out of the car and entered the convenience store. After a while, he returned to the car with a big bag of things.
“What did you buy?” Chairman Fang asked.
“I bought these for Xiaonuan,” Ji Lingchen replied.
The bag was open. Chairman Fang saw a bag of brown sugar. After being married for many years, he knew what brown sugar was for, so he did not ask more questions.
However, after returning ho, he told his wife how attentive and gentle his son-in-law was to his daughter. Of course, he also complained about the strange nickna he had given her.
Ji Lingchen arrived ho at around eleven o’clock, and Fang Xiaonuan had already fallen asleep.
When the two of them reached ho, Ji Wen told Ji Lingchen what he really thought. “Uncle, I don’t want to take over the family business.”
Ji Lingchen pretended not to hear him and said, “It’s getting late. You still have to go to school tomorrow. Go to sleep.”
Ji Wen said, “Got It.”
Ji Lingchen returned to the bedroom and found that his wife was sleeping on her stomach. He walked over and picked her up. He turned over and put her back on the bed. He covered her with the blanket again and went downstairs to wash up.
When he ca back, Fang Xiaonuan was lying on her stomach again. He turned her over again.
“Um… Hubby.” Fang Xiaonuan opened her eyes in a daze and called out, but she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Ji Lingchen gently patted her back, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep. The lights in the room were off, but Fang Xiaonuan deliberately left a wall lamp for him, probably because she was afraid that he would not be able to see clearly once he was back.
Looking at the young woman who was sleeping soundly, Ji Lingchen gently caressed her cheek, then tiptoed to open the jewelry box and put the bracelet on her wrist.
Fang Xiaonuan slept very soundly, completely unaware of it.
After doing everything, Ji Lingchen kissed the young woman on the forehead. Then, he crawled into bed and cuddled his wife.
The next day, Fang Xiaonuan woke up. There was still no one around her. She seriously suspected that her husband had not co ho last night. Thinking of this, the little fla in her heart kindled. Suddenly, she found that the pillow next to her looked used. The little fla was extinguished in an instant. She leaned on the pillow and slled it. Yes, it slled like her husband. It seed that he had co ho last night.
“What do you sll?” Ji Lingchen leaned against the door fra and looked at his wife with a smile.
“I sll that my husband ca ho last night.” Fang Xiaonuan got up.
Suddenly, she realized that there was sothing on her wrist. She hurriedly brought her wrist closer and took a look. There was a bracelet on her wrist. It was the work of the old Mr. Philip, a designer she had long admired.
