Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, who was doing skincare, and asked curiously, “What do those two little sticks do?”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “These are beauty sticks.”

Ji Lingchen said, “You’re still so young. Isn’t it a little too early for skincare?”

Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. “No, early is good. If I don’t take care of my skin now, I’ll have stubborn wrinkles on my face in the future. If that happens, my husband might look at other girls with lecherous eyes. I’ll be the yellow-faced granny in the Cold Palace, and I won’t be favored anymore.”

Ji Lingchen was speechless.

Ji Lingchen’s entire day had been disappointing. The only thing that made him happy was this video call with his wife. Every day, he would personally go to meet those girls who could be Xiaoyu and look at their arms. He would always feel initial anticipation, but disappointment quickly followed. Only when he saw his energetic little wife in their nightly video call did his heart calm down slightly. Even if he did not say anything and just watched her put on the facial masks, Ji Lingchen could not bear to look away.

The two continued to video chat until late at night. Then, Fang Xiaonuan said she wanted to have a good beauty sleep so that she would not have dark circles under her eyes. After that, she hung up.

The next day, Fang Xiaonuan got up early.

She went into the bathroom to wash up and ran to Feng Qi’s door. She knocked on the door. “Sister-in-law, are you awake?”

Feng Qi said, “I’m awake. I’ll open the door in a second.”

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed to open the door. Mayor Ji asked, “What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?” He also wanted to get up to see what was going on.

Feng Qi said, “Don’t get up. Lingchen is coming home today. Xiaonuan probably wants me to help her decide what to wear.”

When she opened the door, she saw Fang Xiaonuan standing at the door, just like she expected.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Sister-in-law, help me pick out some clothes. I really don’t know what to wear.”

She anxiously grabbed Feng Qi’s hand.

Feng Qi smiled to appease her and followed her back to her room. Her bed was already littered with clothes.

Feng Qi said, “So many clothes…”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Those are the ones I tried on just now. Sister-in-law, I’ll try them again now. Tell me which outfit looks better.”

With that, Fang Xiaonuan picked up a blue dress from the bed, put it on, and casually tied her hair into a ponytail. “Sister-in-law, how about this one?”

Feng Qi saw her sister-in-law showing off her fair legs and shook her head. “It’s a little cold today. Lingchen is a straightforward man. When he sees you, he’ll only care if you’re cold or not. He won’t care how beautiful you look.”

Fang Xiaonuan thought that what her sister-in-law said made sense, so she immediately changed into another set of clothes.

Feng Qi said, “This doesn’t look cheerful. It doesn’t look like it’s for a date.”

With that, Fang Xiaonuan kept changing outfits until she finally found something she was satisfied with. After settling her outfit, she did her makeup. The whole morning passed just like that.

In order to keep her makeup in place, Fang Xiaonuan tried her best to open her mouth wide while eating. She opened her mouth so wide that she could fit an entire egg inside.

Ji Wen was worried that Fang Xiaonuan’s mouth would split open.

Ji Wen asked, “Xiaonuan, doesn’t your jaw hurt?”

Fang Xiaonuan had just put an entire egg in her mouth. Her mouth was full, and she could not speak at all.

Old Master Ji said with a smile, “Xiaonuan, you’re amazing. You put an entire egg in your mouth. It’s like a circus act.”

As he spoke, Old Master Ji peeled another egg and placed it in front of Fang Xiaonuan. “Xiaonuan, show me again.”

Fang Xiaonuan’s mouth was full. She looked at the egg Old Master Ji placed in front of her and fell silent.

After Ji Lingchen boarded the plane, Fang Xiaonuan left the house.

Before she started the car, Ji Wen repeatedly reminded her, “Drive slowly and be careful.”

After practicing hard for the past few days, Fang Xiaonuan had become somewhat confident. She started the car and headed to the airport. She did not know that just as she pulled out, another car emerged to tail her.

Feng Qi and Old Master Ji were not at all worried about Xiaonuan driving alone, but they let Ji Wen drive behind her and secretly follow her.

Fang Xiaonuan was a new driver, so she did not realize that she was being followed at all. When they reached the airport, Fang Xiaonuan drove into the parking garage.

Ji Wen nervously followed behind and watched her.

After parking the car, Fang Xiaonuan took her bag and got out. She did not even glance at the serial number of the parking spot and directly followed the GPS instructions to the arrival hall where her husband would be.

Ji Wen said, “F*ck! Fang Xiaonuan’s brain must be filled with water!”

She did not look at the serial number of the parking spot. After she picked up his uncle, it would be immensely difficult to find her car again.

Ji Wen had just finished complaining when Feng Qi patted the back of his head. “How can you say that? That’s your aunt.”

Fang Xiaonuan went to welcome her beloved husband back in a beautiful dress. She was wearing a blue-gray dress and a black windbreaker. She stood at the exit with a small Hermes bag in her hand. The sight of her garnered a lot of attention.
