NovelEnglish288 The Ginger Soup
Ji Lingchen then asked his nephew, “Xiaowen, your aunt…”
“I don’t know anything. I drank too much and I lost my memory. I don’t remember anything,” Ji Wen immediately said.
Fang Xiaonuan was very satisfied with her nephew’s reaction.
Ji Lingchen snorted coldly. He had told his little wife many times not to fight, but she did not take his advice seriously.
In another car, Liu Siyan was driving. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Usually, when he was driving, Liu Siyu was so talkative that Liu Siyan would sometimes want to throw her out of the window. But today, she was extremely quiet, as if her brain had frozen when she fell in the water.
Liu Siyu scratched her head. “Nothing much.”
While Liu Siyan was waiting for the traffic light to turn green, he turned to look at his sister, who seemed to be troubled.
Liu Siyu finally could not help but ask, “Brother, let me ask you, how did the scar on my arm come about?”
Liu Siyan’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. “You bit yourself.”

“You were probably a little silly when you were young,” Liu Siyan replied.
When they arrived home, Liu Siyu found no one in the house, not even the maids.
“Where did Mom and Dad go? Why are Grandpa and Grandma not here? Where are the maids?” Liu Siyu asked curiously.
Liu Siyan said, “None of them are here. What’s wrong? ”
“Then…” Could it be that her brother had taken her undergarments from the cabinet? She wanted to be struck down by a bolt of lightning!
Liu Siyu blushed. “Um, brother, I’m a little sleepy. I’m going to bed.”
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?” Liu Siyan had already found out that they only drank at the hotel.
Liu Siyu was not hungry at first, but after hearing her brother talk about food, her stomach started to growl.
Liu Siyan quickly took off her coat and casually left it on the sofa. He turned around and went into the kitchen. “Come, let’s talk. I’ll cook some noodles for you.”
Liu Siyu followed her brother into the kitchen.

After Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen reached home, Ji Lingchen went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for them.
“You two went to the party without eating?” Old Master Ji said with a look of disdain.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “We were deliberately saving our appetites so we can have dinner at home. That way, you can have a late-night snack with us!”
“Hmph, you’re using me as an excuse!” After Old Master Ji finished speaking, he sat opposite the two.
Ji Wen had drunk a lot and even jumped into the cold swimming pool.
Ji Lingchen ordered the servants to prepare more hangover soup and ginger soup for him.
Although Fang Xiaonuan did not jump into the pool, her husband forced her to drink a bowl of ginger soup too. The moment she saw the pungent ginger soup, her mood soured.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly looked at her husband opposite her and asked, “Hubby, do you love me?”
“I don’t.” Ji Lingchen replied.
Fang Xiaonuan pouted and thought, ‘D*mn it, why isn’t my husband playing by the rules?’
“But hubby, I really love you. I want to share all the good things in the world with you,” she said sweetly.
Ji Lingchen had long picked up on his wife’s tricks. “Finish the ginger soup or you can’t go to bed tonight.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Fang Xiaonuan finished her meal, she looked at the bowl of unpalatable ginger soup and frowned. “There’s an old saying that claims carrots are for winter and ginger is for summer. It’s winter now, so I can’t drink ginger soup. I want to drink carrot juice!”
Ji Lingchen could not do anything to his disobedient wife. Ji Wen had already finished the ginger soup, but his wife was negotiating with him at the dining table.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, how about this? You take a sip, I take a sip, and you take another sip?”
When it came to negotiation, Ji Lingchen had never lost. His wife was overestimating herself.
Ji Wen was enjoying the conflict and Old Master Ji was doing the same. The two of them placed their bets to see who would relent.
“I think Xiaonuan has been bested by your uncle,” Old Master Ji whispered into his grandson’s ear.
Ji Wen also whispered in his grandfather’s ear, “Grandpa, I think you’ve underestimated Fang Xiaonuan’s ability to torment people.”
“It’s getting late, and the ginger soup is getting cold. Don’t make me force you to drink it.” Ji Lingchen deliberately tried to scare his wife.
Fang Xiaonuan held the bowl and lowered her head to take a sip. She immediately frowned. This was too unpalatable!
She slammed the bowl on the table and looked fearless. “I won’t drink it. I won’t drink it even if my life is at stake. It’s awful!”
Old Master Ji saw that his daughter-in-law’s face was all pinched up. He asked, “Is the ginger soup that bad?”
Ji Wen deliberately tricked his grandfather. “It’s not that bad. She’s just pretending. You’ll know when you try it.”
Then, a bowl of ginger soup was placed in front of Old Master Ji, who was more curious than anyone.
