Fang Xiaonuan replied confidently, “It’s fine. My husband is much better than the teachers at school. I’ll just ask him to help me study before the exam. Then, I definitely won’t fail. Xiaowen, what are you going to do when your uncle comes home? Do you want me to prepare a good coffin for you?”
Ji Wen said to Liu Siyu, “Siyu, do me a favor. When you go home, help me ask your brother something. If a nephew gets beaten to death by his uncle, will his uncle pay for the crime with his life?”
Liu Siyu said, “No problem. I’ll tell you once I find out.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Xiaoyu, help me ask. How many years will you spend in prison if you protect a murderer?”
Liu Siyu said, “I don’t think anyone in your family is normal.”
One was about to be beaten to death, the other wanted to protect a murderer. Liu Siyu suddenly felt that her two good friends were a little scary.
After class, Liu Siyan arrived at the school gate. He picked up Liu Siyu and left.
Ji Wen sighed. “Brother Liu is so strict. Siyu can forget about falling in love for the rest of her life.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “I don’t care about them. Hurry home. I still have to practice driving!”
When the two of them reached home, all the cars in the garage had disappeared.
Where were the cars? Fang Xiaonuan asked Old Master Ji, “Dad, where are the cars in our garage?”
Old Master Ji said, “I hid them.”
Everyone fell silent.
Old Master Ji was a little embarrassed, so he explained, “Ah, Xiaonuan, watch TV with me. TV is much more interesting than driving.”
Fang Xiaonuan pouted. “I don’t want to watch TV. I want to learn how to drive.”
Old Master Ji changed the channel again. “Quick, come and watch an American drama with me. You can also practice your spoken English. This drama is not bad. It has a violent aesthetic and is especially suitable for you.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “I don’t want to watch it.”
Old Master Ji said, “What if we watch some Korean dramas? Don’t many girls like those sweet romantic dramas?”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “I’m not interested.”
Old Master Ji had not given up. “Why don’t we switch to Japanese dramas? Japanese dramas are pretty good too.”
Fang Xiaonuan replied, “No.”
Old Master Ji changed the channel again. “Thai dramas are fine, right? It’s all about arranged marriages. You and Lingchen went through something similar. You two have a lot in common, right?”
Fang Xiaonuan turned off the television. “Dad, if you really want to watch couples get married before falling in love, do you still need to turn on the television? Just watch me and my husband. We’ll act it out for you! But you have to return the car to me. I have to practice driving, or else I won’t be able to surprise my husband!”
Old Master Ji finally voiced out his true thoughts. “I’m worried that something might happen to you while driving.”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “I’m not that bad.”
Old Master Ji refused to relent no matter what.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Lobster tail!”
Old Master Ji turned away proudly. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who eats all the time?”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Two lobster tails!”
“You’re trying to bribe me with food. Are you looking down on me?” Old Master Ji said.
Fang Xiaonuan stretched out five fingers. “Five lobster tails, plus a barbecue, and a spicy hot meal! If you want all that, give me the car. If not, I’ll buy the car myself. My husband gave me a lot of money, but I haven’t spent it yet!”
Old Master Ji thought about it. “Plus a spicy hot pot…”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Deal!”
The two high-fived as a pledge. After a while, the butler handed the car keys to Fang Xiaonuan. “Second young madam, you must be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I know.” Fang Xiaonuan happily took the car keys and tugged at Ji Wen’s collar to practice driving with her.
Feng Qi was a little worried, so she followed her.
Old Master Ji sat on the sofa and hesitated. ‘Which one should I eat first?’
After Mayor Ji got off work, he also rushed to the backyard to watch his sister-in-law practice driving.
On the playground, the husband and wife walked behind the car, spending time together and enjoying the refreshing breeze.
While chatting, Feng Qi mentioned Fang Xiaonuan. “Hubby, we have to have Xiaonuan in our house. Without her making a ruckus now and again, it doesn’t feel like home.”
Mayor Ji held his wife’s hand. “Yes, God specially arranged for Xiaonuan to come to our house just to make us feel alive.”
Feng Qi said, “And she even made her way into Lingchen’s heart. This afternoon, Lingchen deliberately called me to tell me to watch over Xiaonuan, especially during the driving practice. If she really doesn’t do well, he doesn’t want any surprises.”
Mayor Ji was stunned. “Lingchen knows about it?”
Feng Qi smiled. “How can we hide these things from him? After he found out that they crashed into the small dark room yesterday, he guessed what Xiaonuan’s surprise was. At the end of the call, he even specifically told me not to let Xiaonuan know that he guessed the surprise. He was worried that Xiaonuan would be disappointed.”
After saying that, Feng Qi smiled. “Lingchen can actually be so attentive. Hubby, Lingchen is very attentive to Xiaonuan.”
“It’s mutual.” Mayor Ji looked at the little girl who was practicing hard and could not help but smile.
