Chapter 34 Is She an Adult?

Old Master Ji put down his chopsticks, stood up and said with a smile, “It’s that kid, Murong.” After saying that, Old Master Ji went out to welcome him.

Fang Xiaonuan glanced at Feng Qi, and their eyes met. Feng Qi was also looking at Fang Xiaonuan.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and go! Murong, Ye Mubai, and a few others have come. They are all Lingchen’s lifelong friends.” Although Feng Qi’s tone was not friendly, it was a nice reminder to Fang Xiaonuan.

“Alright!” Fang Xiaonuan immediately put down her chopsticks and ran out. The chair made a sound when she pushed it back.

Mayor Ji saw this and looked at his wife in surprise. It was unusual that his wife was not looking for trouble. She was actually behaving well.

Feng Qi said, “Why are you two looking at me? Do you think I still want to quarrel with her? I need a day off too, okay? I don’t have the energy to quarrel with her today.”

She was already quite old, and her energy levels were not what they used to be. Every time she quarreled with Fang Xiaonuan, it would take a toll on her. These days, she was so angry that her health and her sleeping patterns were not in order.

Now that Fang Xiaonuan was leaving the Ji family, no one wanted to compete with Feng Qi for the position of the mistress. Feng Qi found Fang Xiaonuan easier to be around. And even if she did not say it out loud, Mayor Ji understood.As the mayor, he had seen all kinds of people. Plus, Feng Qi had a one-track mind.

Mayor Ji suddenly said, “That’s good too. Everyone can be quiet.”

In the living hall, Fang Xiaonuan caught up with Old Master Ji. She obediently followed behind Old Ji.

Then, Fang Xiaonuan saw the drunk Ji Lingchen being supported by two guys. The other three people went up to talk to Old Master Ji. One of them had a very strange gait that got Fang Xiaonuan’s attention.

“Uncle Ji, we came over to wish Lingchen a happy wedding. He didn’t even tell us that he was getting married,” Murong said.

Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to recall the two names that Feng Qi mentioned earlier. She remembered that they were Murong and Ye Mubai. The other three were Ji Lingchen’s good friends that seldom came over.

Yao Qian looked at Fang Xiaonuan, who was lost in thought. He said to Ye Mubai, “That little girl looks pretty good.” Ye Mubai also glanced at Fang Xiaonuan, who was behind Old Master Ji. Then, he whispered to Yao Qian, “Huh? You mean her? She doesn’t look like the one! She seems to be a student. Can students get married now?”

Old Master Ji was close, so when he heard Ye Mubai’s words, he coughed lightly to dispel the awkwardness. Then, he turned around and said to Fang Xiaonuan kindly, “Nuannuan, come forward. I’ll introduce you to her.”

Fang Xiaonuan walked forward. She stood beside Old Master Ji very obediently. At this moment, Old Master Ji felt satisfied with her obedience.

“This is Ye Mubai, the heir of the Lingnan Ye family. This is Murong, the owner of more than ten overseas islands. The one beside him is Wang Yubo. The two who are propping Lingchen up, are Yao Qian and Zhao Yu. Our families are old friends, and they are also good friends with Lingchen.” After introducing the five of them one by one, Old Master Ji then introduced the girl beside him to them. “This is Lingchen’s…”

Ji Lingchen drank a lot of wine, and he was completely drunk at this moment. The smell of alcohol dissipated a little when the warm summer wind blew in. He narrowed his eyes and looked at his very obedient wife.

Without waiting for Old Master Ji to finish introducing her, Ji Lingchen asked, “Wife, I’m not at home. Are you angry again?”

Fang Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. “This…” Ji Lingchen was being really nice to her.

Once Ji Lingchen opened his mouth, there was no need to convey Fang Xiaonuan’s identity anymore. He did not hear Fang Xiaonuan’s reply, so he asked again in an overbearing manner, “Answer me, who are you angry at today? Are you angry? Tell me. I’ll help you vent your anger.”

Once these words were said, the hall fell into a strange silence. It turned out that Ji Lingchen was like this when he was drunk. His five good friends were all very shocked, and they all looked at him.

Fang Xiaonuan took a few steps forward and held the swaying Ji Lingchen. She shook her head and said, “No! I’m very obedient. I’m not angry, and of course, no one is angry at

me.”

Ye Mubai said, “Uncle Ji, may I ask, is she an adult?” Ye Mubai’s voice rang out suddenly. This guy’s words were shocking.

No matter how they looked at Fang Xiaonuan, to them, she did not seem like an adult. The guys also had their doubts but the only one who dared to ask the question directly was Ye Mubai.

“I’m already 20 years old. I got married legally,” Fang Xiaonuan said to ease the awkwardness Old Master Ji must feel.
