Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Auntie Qin and the Ji family helpers had already prepared dinner.
When Ji Hongwen ca downstairs, Shen Heru and Ji ngran saw that he seed cold and stern. His expression was dreadful.
He did not even glance at Ji Nuan who was following behind him.
Seeing this scene, Ji ngran took the opportunity to speak up, “Father, don’t be mad at my sister anymore. She rarely returns ho. It’s likely that she fought with Brother Jing Shen again. Why don’t we just let her stay here tonight instead of returning back to the Yu Garden? Anyway, even if she returns, Brother Jing Shen may not be there...”
“What did you fight about again?” Ji Hongwen glared at Ji Nuan who was behind him. “It’s already been half a year, when will you stop your thoughts of wanting a divorce?”
Ji Nuan eyed Ji ngran.
Very good, she had just shown up, and she was already attacked.
Even though Ji ngran had known that the issue about the divorce has always been the cause of all their fights, she still directly brought the topic up.
Shen Heru stood by the table without speaking, but her eyes moved towards Ji Nuan. She knew that Ji Nuan would always make a big fuss about Mo Jingshen so she stayed silent, calmly waiting to watch the show.
“Dad, I wanted to take the opportunity to apologize properly.” Ji Nuan reached out and wrapped her hand around Ji Hongwen’s elbow just as he was about to walk toward the dining table. “I was too stubborn in the past and didn’t realize that you had planned all of the best things for . I kept bickering with you. I was wrong.”
Ji Hongwen was surprised, imdiately eyeing her in suspicion.
She didn’t start a fight?
Ji Nuan actually knew how to apologize?
Ji ngran and Shen Heru tried their best to cover up the shock in their eyes.
How could this be?
“In the past, I was too stubborn. After marrying Jing Shen, because my heart was dissatisfied, I kept making trouble. But in the end, the human heart is made of flesh. After spending a long ti with soone, you can’t help but notice their goodness. Right now, I don’t wish for a divorce, and I’ve decided to live well with Jing Shen from now onward. I definitely won’t let you worry for anymore.”
As Ji Nuan spoke, she sat down with Ji Hongwen, at the sa ti turning to look at Ji ngran. “Actually, I had already shared my thoughts with ng Ran several days ago, isn’t that right, ng Ran?”
The focus suddenly turned toward her. Ji ngran froze for a mont.
Ji Nuan did say these words before...
Ji ngran had thought that she had only said those words about giving up the divorce because her brain was not working montarily. She had never even thought of informing her father what had happened.
Suddenly pushed into the spotlight by Ji Nuan, Ji ngran could not lie even if she wanted to and could only smile. “That day I left in a rush and almost forgot about this. Big Sister did say that to . She said that she has thought things through and no longer wishes for a divorce.”
Ji Nuan smiled at her, making it seem like there was a deep sibling love between the two of them as they shared a smile of mutual understanding.
However, this smile caused Ji ngran to feel like her whole body was surrounded in cold water.
“Dad, you should believe now, right? I really want to be happy with Jing Shen.” Ji Nuan held onto Ji Hongwen’s elbow. Her voice was light and soft, sounding like a little girl whining for attention.
Ever since she grew up, Ji Nuan has never acted this way with him. The soft part of Ji Hongwen’s heart was imdiately touched and his anger reduced by a lot. “All right, it’s good that you know Jing Shen is good. After marriage, one needs ti to be comfortable. Now that you’ve thought things through, it’s not too late. If the two of you have any conflicts, tell us. Don’t always act so temperantal, and don’t always be so immature, understood?”
“I got it, Dad.” Ji Nuan leaned her head on his shoulder. “I apologize for all the bad things I previously said and did to you when I was being temperantal, so don’t be mad at anymore, all right?”
“Hmph, it’s no use even if you apologize now. I can let the rest go, but on the issue of the two companies, don’t think that I will let you off so easily.”
“I will explain that to you later.”
Ji Hongwen clearly still did not trust her much on this, waving his hand. “All right, let’s eat first. Ever since you got married, you’ve rarely been back. It’s good that you have finally been enlightened. Initially, I never placed any hopes on you coming back with Jing Shen. But since the two of you have grown close, bring him back with you the next ti. Don’t always move about alone, or people will start to speak about your marriage again.”
“That’s right. Nuan Nuan, since you’ve decided to live well with Jing Shen, why didn’t you co back together? Are you just making up words to please your father?” Ji Hongwen had just finished his words and Shen Heru imdiately cut in. Her face was bright with a smile, but her eyes were cold.
Ji Hongwen glared at Shen Heru. “None of your business! In the morning I was the one who called her to co back imdiately. It was a sudden plan. Jing Shen isn’t an idle person who always has free ti, how could he suddenly make ti to co back.”
“But I feel that Big Sister and Brother Jing Shen’s relationship cannot be so simple. A few days ago, they were still fighting so fiercely,” Ji ngran quietly muttered. “Previously, they were clearly fighting to the point of no return. Yet, you are suddenly saying that you don’t want to divorce anymore. Big Sister, could it be that you have so other thoughts that you are purposely hiding from us?”
Ji ngran’s face was completely innocent as she spoke, seeming as though she was only asking curiously.
Ji Nuan continued to hold onto Ji Hongwen’s elbow, coldly glancing at her. “What other thoughts could I have? I’ve already married Jing Shen for so ti. After being together for a period, feelings have grown. We should just be together happily. Marriage is simple, how could there be any complicated thoughts? How could there be so many whys?”
“These words are good. Simple is the best.” Ji Hongwen nodded his head. After Ji Nuan had acted spoiled in front of him for a while, his heart of a father was unused to it, but at the sa ti, he felt very comforted.
In actuality, before returning, Ji Nuan had considered asking Mo Jingshen if he had ti. However, after considering that her father had wanted to ask about Han Tianyuan’s companies, not to ntion there were also Ji ngran and Shen Heru at ho, she felt that the return ho would definitely cause chaos, and after consideration, she did not ntion it to him.
Besides, she did not want to see Ji ngran interacting too much with Mo Jingshen. It would cause her to feel nauseous.
Ji ngran tolerated it and did not speak anymore, but quietly glanced at Shen Heru.
If the relationship between Ji Nuan and her father worsened, the one to benefit would definitely be Shen Heru.
Now that Ji Nuan was suddenly so obedient, seeing the ice break between the father and daughter, how could Shen Heru sit still and watch?
“Auntie Shen, don’t you feel like my sister has changed too much?” Ji ngran spoke carelessly.
At this mont, Shen Heru was indeed suspicious.
Why did Ji Nuan suddenly change? Becoming so obedient and mature?
“Nuan Nuan ah, Auntie Shen hasn’t seen you for a while. Quickly co here and sit with .” Shen Heru smiled as she pointed at the seat next to her, the one furthest from Ji Hongwen.
Ji Nuan sat at the seat closest to Ji Hongwen without moving, acting as though she did not hear anything as she calmly spoke, “Dad, your health has barely any problems. Don’t eat too much dicine from here on. Those strange dicines sound like supplents but eating anything extra will affect your body’s immunity.”
Hearing this, Ji Hongwen had yet to speak up, but Shen Heru’s hands which were about to pick up the chopsticks staggered.
