Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feng Qi did not have a daughter to begin with, and they were very different. She often treated her sister-in-law as a stepdaughter. She would tell Fang Xiaonuan some things that she could not tell her husband. Ever since their relationship became better, she rarely went out with her friends. She only went once in a long time, and even if she did, her friends would always want her to bring Fang Xiaonuan along. Feng Qi had been living in a wealthy family for many years. She could easily tell what her so-called friends were thinking. Her husband was the mayor of Jing City, and many people wanted to get along well with her to gain personal benefits. The purpose of inviting Fang Xiaonuan was even more obvious. They were worried that they had no way to curry favor with Ji Lingchen. Previously, Fang Xiaonuan had become the focus of attention of the wealthy families in Jing city. Many people had secretly investigated her, and many people wanted to get to know Fang Xiaonuan through various opportunities. There were even some people who said they wanted to visit her, but Feng Qi turned them all down. Fang Xiaonuan had no idea about this. She had no idea what could have happened, and she was still living normally.

One time, when Feng Qi had successfully turned down another eager person on behalf of her sister-in-law, Mayor Ji asked, “Doesn’t helping Xiaonuan like this make you tired?”

Feng Qi replied, “I’m tired, but Xiaonuan is still young. She definitely doesn’t know how to deal with those people who have ulterior motives. If she gets upset, she might just react. That would only make things worse. Our mother left early. If I, as her sister-in-law, don’t help her, who else can help her?”

Feng Qi did not want to let these adult complications disturb Xiaonuan’s peaceful life.

Mayor Ji said, “Xiaonuan has to grow up eventually. She will have a lot of social engagements in the future if she stays with Ji Lingchen.”

“When that time comes, your brother will handle it.” Feng Qi took on the role of a mother and worried. “Actually, I also want Xiaonuan to see the true face of society as soon as possible.”

Mayor Ji was a little surprised. He looked at his wife and waited for her to continue.

Feng Qi said, “She was protected by her parents since she was young. She looked at everything through rose-colored glasses. If something didn’t go her way, she would use aggression to solve it. She always lived as she pleased, so she had a bad temper and a vicious mouth. In fact, she does not have enough experience.

“There are all kinds of people in society. People have different intentions. So many people wear masks and live their lives that way. Xiaonuan has an innocent personality. What if she is used by others?”

Feng Qi recalled how she was once used by Lin Rou. She had always been traumatized by this matter. It was too easy to be deceived through blind trust in others.

“So, I hope that Xiaonuan can learn how to understand people. She needs to distinguish between good and evil, loyal and devious. Then, she can still be as kind as she is. I’d like her to understand the world, without being as worldly as most. She needs to be tactful, but still maintain her naivety.”

Mayor Ji smiled and said, “You are such a busybody. How do you know that Fang Xiaonuan doesn’t already know these things?”

Feng Qi felt that Fang Xiaonuan was too naive, but Mayor Ji did not think so. He felt that Fang Xiaonuan was only showing her most sincere self at home. But to outsiders, she would not be like this. She was so smart and eccentric. How could she be deceived by others or used?

…

When it came to Old Master Ji, he did not think much about Fang Xiaonuan’s personality. He only cared about night market snacks.

Ji Lingchen, on the other hand, would never think about these things. He knew that his little wife’s personality was volatile. One second, she would sweetly call him “Hubby”, and in the next second, she would be so angry that she would call him by his full name. She was such a wonderful girl. You could never guess what was going on in her little head.

Back in the bedroom, Ji Lingchen lay on the bed and started reading. The familiar sound of a hairdryer came from the bathroom again, and his wife’s voice rang in his ears. She talked about how angry she was, and then she brought up the interesting things that had happened today.

“Honey, ever since Siyu became the school belle, there have been a lot of people chasing after her. You know, today, a senior chased her to class and invited her out on a movie date!”

“But that senior wasn’t very lucky. He ran into Siyu’s brother. No one could take her anywhere while her brother was there.”

As he listened to his wife, Ji Lingchen finally relaxed. “So, that person asked Siyu out in the end?”

Fang Xiaonuan finished applying her skincare products, took off her shoes, and jumped onto the bed. She wriggled to the headboard like a big bug.

Ji Lingchen lifted the blanket and she crawled under it. Lying next to her husband, she continued, “Of course not. Her brother is so strict. That senior was scared to death. How could he still be brave enough to ask her out?”

Under the blanket, Ji Lingchen suddenly felt something cold touch his leg. Her small foot had touched him. He turned his head to look at his little wife beside him.
