303 A Terrifying Habit

Fang Xiaonuan pursed her lips. She watched the crab she had longed for move further and further away from her.

The Ji family’s breakfast was usually quite normal. Although there were basically no repeated dishes for a week, there weren’t too many varieties. Today, the meal was surprisingly sumptuous, and the table was full.

This was all because of Old Master Ji’s excitement. Earlier this morning, he had asked the kitchen to start cooking all kinds of dishes. He knew that he would not be able to finish them all, but he still asked for a lot.

That was why Fang Xiaonuan could have mitten crab so early in the morning. However, crabs were not good to have before her period. This dietary restriction put her in a bad mood instantly.

Throughout the entire breakfast, only Ji Wen had the most enjoyable and satisfying meal.

After the meal, it was time to go to school. Ji Lingchen drove the three of them personally. Old Master Ji wanted to go with them so that he could spend more time with his daughter on the way.

“Dad, there’s no more space in the car,” Fang Xiaonuan said.

Old Master Ji pointed at Ji Wen and tried to chase him away, saying, ” Xiaowen, you can drive yourself. Give up your seat.”

Liu Siyu looked at her nephew, who always got bullied. She did not have to be here for long at all. She could already sense Ji Wen’s status in the family within minutes.

Ji Wen patted the middle seat at the back and said, “You can sit here, right? We can all squeeze in.”

Old Master Ji squeezed into the car. Fang Xiaonuan had wanted to let Old Master Ji sit in the front seat, but he wanted to sit with his daughter instead of his youngest son. They would be closer and he would get to talk with her more.

“Xiaoyu, we’ve actually met before,” said Old Master Ji. “Do you still remember how fierce your sister-in-law was when she was fighting? She didn’t look like a girl at all. I saw you then. You scratched another girl’s face and kicked another girl in the stomach. It looked like you used a lot of force.” He did not remember good things at all, only bad things.

Liu Siyu said, “Dad, I’m actually a lady. That was an accident.”

Old Master Ji knew the truth. To be able to be best friends with his youngest daughter-in-law, they must be alike. Plus, she was his daughter.

“I just wanted to say that you guys fought well. Your skills are really not bad!”

Liu Siyu was speechless.

Fang Xiaonuan was also at a loss for words.

When they were at a red light, Fang Xiaonuan asked her husband, “Hubby, are you going to the Lin family’s house after sending us off?”

“Leave that business to the adults. Study hard at school.”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I just want to fight by our side. If the Lin family doesn’t cooperate, just say the word and I’ll be there. I guarantee that I can use my fists to make them cooperate!”

Ji Lingchen directly exposed what his wife was thinking. “Xiaonuan, do you want to be my champion or do you want to personally eliminate your love rival?”

Fang Xiaonuan said coquettishly, “These two matters don’t conflict with each other.”

However, Ji Lingchen refused to let her go. Who knew what they would say today? He felt that there were many things that were not suitable for his little wife to hear. “How many times have you skipped classes this semester? It’ll be embarrassing if you fail the exam.”

Fang Xiaonuan did not give up and continued to pester him. However, Ji Lingchen was adamant and refused to let her go. At the school gate, Fang Xiaonuan had no choice but to get out of the car with her books.

Ji Wen also got out of the car, and Liu Siyu was the last to get out. As soon as she got out of the car, she looked up and saw her brother waiting for her at his usual spot.

“Brother!” Liu Siyu shouted. Then she ran in Liu Siyan’s direction.

Liu Siyan had wanted to go straight to the police station when he left the house, but somehow, he had driven to the school gate.

After the car stopped, he realized that the familiar figure was no longer in the front passenger seat. He smiled bitterly. This was a terrifying force of habit. He had wanted to go to the classroom to see if he could see his sister, but he realized that his sister had not arrived yet, so he turned back and was ready to leave.

He was about to get into the car when he heard a car engine turn off. He looked up and saw a familiar figure.

Old Master Ji and Ji Lingchen watched her back as she ran away, both silent. Liu Siyu seemed very uncomfortable with them, but she was very relaxed and even happy to see anyone from the Liu family.

She ran to Liu Siyan and asked pitifully, “Brother, why didn’t you reply to my messages?”

“I was busy,” Liu Siyan said perfunctorily. “Why were you still awake at 4 in the morning?” In fact, the Liu family was in a mess yesterday. Their grandparents finally found out the truth about their granddaughter and drove home from the hospital in the middle of the night. They cried and made a scene, so he did not have time to look at his phone.

When he saw his sister’s message, it was already morning. He looked at the timestamp of his sister’s message. She had sent the message past 4 in the morning. He also wanted to reply, but he did not know what to say. In the end, he did not reply.

Liu Siyu said, “I couldn’t sleep. I miss you.”
