Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife-Chapter 169 - Coaxing a Child

Fang Xiaonuan said aggrievedly, “Being on the road isn’t peaceful.”

Hearing his little wife’s voice, Ji Lingchen lost all his temper. He could only say softly, “Be good. That’s because you were near flowers just now.” Fortunately, there were only flowers beside them. If it was a fence, she would have directly crashed into it. If it was a cliff, the car would’ve driven off it.

The Ji family’s workers had delivered flowers early in the morning. They were to be planted in the garden. In the end, the flowers had not even stayed in the soil for a day before they died under the wheels of Fang Xiaonuan’s car.

When Fang Xiaonuan heard this, her heart instantly ached for the flowers. She unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to get out of the car to take a look, but she stepped on the accelerator again forgot to change gears. The car started moving again.

Ji Lingchen would always reprimand subordinates who made the same mistake over and over again. Even if his subordinates did not change over and over again, he had ways to teach them a lesson. However, when faced with his wife, he could not scold or hit her. He could only frown and worry.

The car door was already open. Fang Xiaonuan saw that the car was moving forward again. She finally remembered something and shouted, “Ah, I forgot to change gear again.”

Hearing this, Ji Lingchen finally felt a sense of relief. His little wife could still be taught.

Fang Xiaonuan once again sat back in the driver’s seat and stepped on the brakes. Then, she changed gears and released the brakes. After making sure that the car did not move again, she got out of the car.

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife who had run out of the car to look at the flowers and shook his head helplessly. After he turned off the engine, he got out of the car and followed her.

At that moment, Fang Xiaonuan was squatting on the ground with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, she said to the flowers that she had pressed into the ground like she was reciting scriptures, “What a sin. I will do my best to save all of you. If you don’t come back, I will bury all of you. You can go in peace.”

Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. He walked over and half-squatted beside his little wife. “You’re repenting?”

“No, I want to save them. If I fail to save them, they will have to cross over,” Fang Xiaonuan replied seriously.

Ji Lingchen was stunned again. Why couldn’t he understand his little wife’s behavior? Could this be the so-called generation gap? After being with his little wife, he had indeed gained a lot of knowledge. For example, he had deliberately gone online to search for what lip gloss and lip glaze were. Now, he was watching his wife dig a small hole in the soil with her small hands. She buried the flowers in it.

As he watched her, he said, “Xiaonuan, the roots of the flowers are still in the soil. You have to dig them out first and then bury them again.”

“Wow, hubby, what you said makes sense!” Fang Xiaonuan said in surprise. After saying that, she quickly went to pull the flowers out by the roots. She did not forget to praise her husband. “Hubby, no wonder people say that you are amazing. You are indeed smarter than the average person!” 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

As soon as she said that, an accident happened. Fang Xiaonuan seemed to be frozen on the spot. She stared blankly at the broken flower root in her little hand.

Ji Lingchen also silently watched this. Initially, the flower had only been squished for a moment. The flower roots were fine and the flower could still survive if they were replanted. But now, his little wife had used too much strength and she had pulled the flower stem apart. The roots were still in the soil. She was dumbfounded now.

He calmly said to his little wife, “Xiaonuan, skip the rescue. They can directly cross over.” Even if a deity descended to the mortal world, they could not save this flower.

Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan cried out loud.

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, whose eyes were red with tears. He reached out to wipe away her tears and comforted her, “Be good, don’t cry. It’s just a flower.”

Fang Xiaonuan’s crying got Old Master Ji’s attention. He quickly came out to ask, “What’s wrong, Xiaonuan? Are you okay? Did Lingchen bully you? Tell me, and I’ll beat him with a stick. Don’t cry.”

Old Master Ji acted like he was coaxing a child. He even reached out and hit Ji Lingchen on the back. He did not hit him hard, but he let Fang Xiaonuan know that he was on her side.

“Look, I hit him. Don’t cry,” Old Master Ji continued to coax her.

Fang Xiaonuan put down half of the flower in her hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She cried, “Dad, you hit the wrong person. My husband didn’t bully me.”

“Ah? Then who bullied you?” Old Master Ji asked in confusion.

Fang Xiaonuan sobbed and pointed at the flower on the ground that had its roots broken and was crushed by the car. “This.”

Old Master Ji was stunned. The crushed flower had bullied his daughter-in-law. What should he do? Hit the flower to vent his anger on behalf of his daughter-in-law?

“Well, Xiaonuan, it’s going to be lunchtime soon. The butler called me. You guys should go back and eat too!” After saying that, Old Master Ji ran away.

Ji Lingchen got hit by his father for no reason. Fang Xiaonuan cried and asked, “Hubby, are you in pain?”

Ji Lingchen shook his head and said, “I’m fine. Let’s bury these flowers now. Then, we’ll head back and have lunch, okay?”
