Chapter 164: Clingy
Fang Xiaonuan immediately returned upstairs and went straight to the study to look for her husband. She knocked on the study’s door and said, “Hubby, it’s me.”
“Come in.” A man’s voice came from the study.
Fang Xiaonuan pushed the door open and entered. As she walked towards her husband, she yawned. She realized that her husband’s computer was filled with dense data. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “I don’t understand a single word. Hubby, it’s the weekend. What are you doing?”
“I’m working overtime.” Ji Lingchen turned the chair and pulled his wife into his arms. Fang Xiaonuan sat on her husband’s lap and yawned again.
“Why am I still sleepy after sleeping so much?” Fang Xiaonuan mumbled.
Ji Lingchen looked at his sleepy wife and chuckled. “You’ve slept for 11 hours already. Why are you still sleepy?”
Fang Xiaonuan reached out and wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck. She leaned her head on her husband’s shoulder and said softly, “Ugh, hubby, I’m lazy.”
Hearing this, Ji Lingchen also felt that his wife was being very lazy now. He hugged his wife’s soft body. He had long lost the desire to work. No wonder some emperors in ancient times did not attend morning court because of women. If he were an emperor, with his wife in his arms like this, he would not want to attend morning court either.
“Have you slept enough?” Ji Lingchen asked gently.
Fang Xiaonuan nodded. “Yes.”
“Let’s go and have breakfast,” Ji Lingchen said.
Fang Xiaonuan slowly got off her husband’s lap. She held her husband’s thumb tightly with her small fingers, and the two of them went downstairs together.
“This young mistress is very clingy. Every time she wakes up and doesn’t see the second young master, she looks for him everywhere,” the maids were gossiping on the steps.
“Exactly. Last time, she woke up and the young master had already gone to the office. The young mistress searched the entire house. When she found out that he had gone to the office, she went straight to the office to look for him.”
“That’s right. Just now, she asked where the second young master was. He was in the study, so she went straight to the study.”
“They haven’t been married for long, so they must be in their honeymoon phase. She can’t leave him, and she wants to cling to him.”
Fang Xiaonuan, who was about to go downstairs with her husband, was speechless. The more she heard, the angrier she got, and her little face swelled up.
Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, was exceptionally happy when he heard this. It seemed that when he was not at home, his little wife would look for him everywhere once she woke up!
“So, you can’t leave me. Do you feel uncomfortable after we’re apart for a while?” Ji Lingchen asked with a smile.
Fang Xiaonuan stomped her feet in anger and walked straight to the stairs, she shouted at the maids who were chatting, “You guys are spouting nonsense. I did not wake up and look for my husband straightaway. I did not search the house for him. I’m not clingy. Don’t speculate. It’s my husband who can’t be without me, okay!”
“Young madam…”
Hearing Fang Xiaonuan’s words, the maids looked at her in panic. The most taboo thing for maids was to talk about the affairs of the family they were working for behind their backs. Plus, they were overheard!
Ji Lingchen quickly tugged the angry kitten back and stroked her back. “They’re not angry. They’re right.”
Fang Xiaonuan tugged at her husband’s clothes with both hands and said coquettishly, “Hubby, am I very clingy?”
Ji Lingchen chuckled. “I’m clingy. It’s just how I like it.”
Fang Xiaonuan did not want to hear her husband’s answer, so the angry kitten left her husband and went downstairs to the dining hall alone. When she reached, she saw Ji Wen and asked, “Why are you sleeping now?”
Ji Wen was just about to retort when he saw his uncle behind her. He choked back his words. “I was tired from studying last night.”
“Your skin is thicker again,” Fang Xiaonuan said mockingly. She sat down after she finished speaking, and the maid quickly brought her breakfast to the table.
“Where’s my husband’s?” Fang Xiaonuan asked.
She herself did not realize it, but she could always say things like, “Where’s my husband?”, “What did my husband do?”, “My husband…” and so on.
To the maids, Fang Xiaonuan was even more clingy.
Ji Lingchen pulled out the chair next to his wife and sat down. “I finished eating in the morning.” He was here to accompany his wife.
Fang Xiaonuan touched her husband’s arm and said, “Hubby, you can go back to the study and continue working. Otherwise, everyone will say that I’m clingy. Xiaowen will accompany me.”
Ji Lingchen smiled even more happily. “I’m here because I want everyone to know that I’m clingy and that I want to accompany you while you eat, okay?”
