Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife-Chapter 167 - Crawling Like a Sloth

“Hubby, why aren’t you saying anything?” Fang Xiaonuan asked when she saw that her husband was not reacting.

Ji Lingchen did not want to discourage his wife’s enthusiasm, so he praised her, “You did well. You’ve memorized the whole process of getting into the car.”

Fang Xiaonuan was really more confident when she heard that. She asked excitedly, “Really, hubby? My mother said that she wouldn’t mind being a passenger in a car I was driving. She said that it was like being a tank, dangerous.”

She had refuted, “Then you’re really lucky. Other people wouldn’t be able to sit in a tank even if they wanted to.” In the end, her mother had taught her a thing or two.

“And Xiaohang, he always complained that I had too many rituals to complete just to get into the car.” Of course, she immediately pulled her brother out of the car and gave him a beating. After that, Fang Hang had not been that bad. However, she never learned how to drive. Thinking about it now, made her emotional.

If Fang Xiaonuan had not mentioned Fang Hang, Ji Lingchen would have forgotten that he still had a brother-in-law abroad.

“Oh right, Xiaonuan, after we got married, did Xiaohang call you?” Ji Lingchen asked.

If the siblings shared a good relationship and he knew that his sister was getting married, her brother would certainly scrutinize the new husband. But up until now, he had not spoken to Fang Hang on the phone.

“I haven’t called him. He’s very busy with his studies, and he’s jet-lagged. He usually calls my parents,” Fang Xiaonuan replied. In fact, she would occasionally receive calls from her brother, but she would always answer them behind her husband’s back, therefore, he did not know.

Ji Lingchen did not press further. Instead, he said, “Drive a few rounds in the front yard and then drive the car to the fountain.”

“Honey, your car doesn’t have a handbrake!” Fang Xiaonuan suddenly said.

Ji Lingchen said, “I’ll take care of the handbrake for you.”

“You can start now,” he urged.

Fang Xiaonuan panicked and pressed the horn again. Then, she let go of the brake and let the car slide forward slowly. Then, she gently stepped on the accelerator and drove forward slowly.

A car horn woke Old Master Ji up. He came out of the bedroom and saw his grandson. He asked, “Who’s honking outside?”

“My uncle is teaching my aunt how to drive,” Ji Wen replied.

Old Master Ji mumbled, “He’s really full of himself. Teaching his wife how to drive on such a hot day?”

Old Master Ji had nothing to do, so he chatted with his grandson. “Xiaowen, do you think your uncle has lost his mind? When I asked him to marry Xiaonuan, his face looked as dreary as a stormy sky. He said he didn’t want to marry her no matter what. But now, he’s fine. He probably won’t agree to a divorce with Xiaonuan even if his life depended on it.” 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

Ji Wen suddenly thought of something. He moved closer to Old Master Ji and asked in a low voice, “Right, given my uncle’s temper, he usually doesn’t listen to you. How did you convince him to marry Fang Xiaonuan?”

Old Master Ji said smugly, “Of course, it’s because I, as his father, have some tricks up my sleeve. No matter how capable he is, he’s just a CEO. I’m the chairman who holds more power than him!”

But Old Master Ji could not enjoy his little quip for long. Ji Wen could see that there was something else. “Grandpa, forget that. My uncle handles Ji Corporation. Even if he wasn’t given the CEO position, he can just casually register a new company with his people and make a comeback. If you were the one handling Ji Corporation, would you still be this powerful?”

Old Master Ji slapped the back of Ji Wen’s head. “You!”

Ji Wen rubbed the back of his head, took a few steps back, and said, “Grandpa, just tell me the truth. I promise I won’t tell anyone.”

Old Master Ji was angry. He did not want to tell his grandson at all. When a man got old, his temper would become like that of a child. He would treat those who went along with his wishes well. If anyone went against his wishes, he would not treat them well.

“The truth? You don’t deserve to hear it. Hmph!” After Old Master Ji said that, he stood up and walked towards the courtyard. He saw the car in the courtyard slowly crawling around like a sloth.

In the car, Fang Xiaonuan’s body stiffened. Her husband kept comforting her. “It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

“Hubby, there’s someone there,” Fang Xiaonuan said to her husband, sobbing.

Ji Lingchen was speechless. If she did not step on the brakes now, would she hit that person?

“Honey, what should we do? That person is getting closer and closer,” Fang Xiaonuan cried as she waited for instructions.

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife’s leg and then at the maid not far away. Why hadn’t she stepped on the brake upon seeing someone in her path? The maid was the same. She was not getting out of the way. If something really happened, both of them would be responsible.

Fang Xiaonuan was so flustered that she completely forgot about the brakes. Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the maid, she hurriedly opened the window, and she shouted, “Hey, move! I’m going to hit you.” However, her speed didn’t change at all.
