“More than twenty orders?” Fang Xiaonuan was surprised. She rolled her eyes. “I didn’t expect to make money after marrying you. This is a pleasant surprise.” She shrugged. “You don’t have to feel bad. I’m just a virgin giving up my carefree life and marrying into the wolf’s den that is your family. So what if my family’s company makes more money? I’ll compensate you by marrying you then.”

Ji Lingchen had a new understanding of Fang Xiaonuan. As his new wife, she had a sharp tongue. He took a step forward, his tall body gave off a sense of oppression. “Miss Fang, I’ll remind you one last time. Don’t have any improper thoughts about me. Otherwise… the price will be too high for you to bear.”

Fang Xiaonuan burst out laughing, her clear laughter was as melodious as a wind chime. “Mr. Ji, aren’t you being too narcissistic? Do you think I have improper thoughts about you? What kind of joke is this? I’m young and beautiful. Why would I have improper thoughts about an old man who’s eight years older than me? Is it because you think the younger boys don’t interest me?”

Ji Lingchen’s expression did not look too good after being blatantly despised for his age. He reminded her, “Miss Fang, when you marry into the Ji family, you have to abide by the Ji family’s rules. Every word and action of yours represents the Ji family’s image. I don’t want to hear any words that will ruin the Ji family’s reputation.”

Fang Xiaonuan waved her hand. “You’re really nagging about how old you are. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. If you came to me to talk nonsense, then you can leave.” She did not think that Ji Lingchen would be willing to sleep in the same room as her.

!!

Ji Lingchen choked. He really came here with an intention. He came to the new house to show Fang Xiaonuan that he was a threat. He wanted to make her stop thinking about certain things. Who would have thought that Fang Xiaonuan would despise him in the end?

When Ji Lingchen left the house, he did not look too good. On his way to the study, he happened to meet the family’s butler. The butler asked curiously, “Young master, shouldn’t you be in the new house at this time? Why are you here?”

Ji Lingchen said, “I’m here to see Grandfather.”

In the study, Old Master Ji pointed at the documents and USB flash drive on the table and said to Ji Lingchen, “You can take what you want.”

Logically speaking, Ji Lingchen should have left when he got what he wanted. However, he suddenly stopped and said, “Dad, do you think a forced marriage will lead to happiness?”

Old Master Ji froze. He sat back down on the chair and looked at Ji Lingchen’s steady and fierce expression. “Believe me, she is the most suitable person to be your wife.”

Ji Lingchen laughed mockingly. “I hope so.”

Fang Xiaonuan had just changed out of her heavy wedding dress. Before she had the chance to wash up, she heard an argument downstairs. She thought about it and decided to go out to take a look because she had heard Ji Lingchen’s cheapskate voice!

“Young master, tonight Is your wedding night. You should be with the young madam. Leaving on your wedding night is bad luck for newlyweds.” The butler had heard from the servant that Ji Lingchen was going out, so he hurried over to dissuade him.

Coincidentally, Ji Lingchen’s eldest brother, Ji Kangde, was going out as well. He followed the butler’s lead and persuaded him too. “Lingchen, you are almost 30 years old. Can you not be childish? Xiaonuan is the wife you just married. You have to be responsible for her. If you leave recklessly tonight, how will she be able to hold her head up tomorrow?”

“Brother, you know very well how this marriage came about. I listened to you and got married, but it doesn’t mean that I will enter the bride’s room. Move aside, don’t force me to do it.” Ji Lingchen was about to leave, but Ji Kangde once again blocked his way. “Lingchen, Xiaonuan is watching you from the second floor.”

Ji Lingchen raised his head when he heard that. He just happened to see Fang Xiaonuan smiling and waving at him in her pink pajamas. She mouthed, “Goodbye.”

Ji Lingchen was speechless.

Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. “See? Fang Xiaonuan herself doesn’t mind me leaving. Big brother, don’t meddle in other people’s business.” With that, he walked past the silent Ji Kangde and left the Ji family’s old residence.

Ji Kangde’s wife, Feng Qi, happened to see this play out. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan coldly. “You can’t even keep your own man on your wedding night. Trash.”

Fang Xiaonuan cocked her head and looked at Feng Qi, who was standing not far away. She knew that this woman was Ji Kangde’s wife and Ji Lingchen’s sister-in-law. She was not bad-looking and had a good temperament, but she was not very likable.

Fang Xiaonuan smiled and withdrew her hand. She used Ji Lingchen’s words to rebuke her. “You both know what’s going on with this marriage, so… don’t be too demanding. Otherwise, before Ji Lingchen goes back on his word, I’ll quit.”
