The Ji family members at the dining table were stunned. Ji Lingchen, who had always been a neat freak, had actually taken the initiative to put food in Fang Xiaonuan’s bowl. Meanwhile, Fang Xiaonuan kept her head lowered and tried to make herself scarce.

Ji Lingchen did not take everyone’s surprise to heart. Seeing that his little wife was about to finish eating, he said, “I’ll send you and Ji Wen to school later.”

Fang Xiaonuan immediately refused. “No, there’s no need.”

Ji Lingchen tilted his head slightly and looked down at his wife. “Do you know how to drive? If you don’t want me to send you, I’ll pick up a car today so that you can drive yourself to and from school in the future.”

Ji Wen raised his hand, unable to see clearly. “Uncle, I know how to drive.”

Ji Lingchen swept a cold glance at his nephew who had just interrupted him. Seeing that the situation was not right, Feng Qi immediately pulled her son’s raised hand down. “Lingchen, Xiaowen doesn’t want a car. You can just buy one for Nuannuan. He has one.”

Ji Wen was frightened by his uncle’s gaze, so he continued to eat quietly. Fang Xiaonuan could feel the difference in how Ji Lingchen was treating her. “I have one, but I don’t dare to go on the road.”

Ji Lingchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “I’ll teach you some other day.”

“I don’t want to learn. I’m nervous about learning how to drive from you.” Fang Xiaonuan still had her head lowered. She was avoiding Ji Lingchen’s burning gaze.

When he said this, Ji Lingchen’s face showed a rare smile. “You’re nervous about learning how to drive from your husband? No one else in this world can teach you how to drive better than I can. No one else can take you on the road.”

Old Master Ji simply put down his chopsticks and kept his eyes on Ji Lingchen. He wanted to know how Fang Xiaonuan had changed his second son into a different person. Wasn’t he usually cold to everyone? What about his mysophobia? What about his insufferable arrogance and temper?

After breakfast, Fang Xiaonuan and Ji Wen took the same car to school. The driver was the family’s chauffeur. Ji Lingchen watched the car disappear before he drove off.

Feng Qi quietly tugged at Mayor Ji’s sleeve. “Hubby, did you notice anything?”

Mayor Ji looked at his brother’s departing back and nodded. “Lingchen has changed. He’s not so cold anymore.”

…

As soon as she entered the school compound, Fang Xiaonuan learned that she had been slandered by Gao Qianqian. She had yet to gather her strength to deal with her, but Gao Qianqian’s various slandering posts had already taken over the school forum’s homepage by the afternoon, and their popularity had not subsided for a long time.

Gao Qianqian had found someone to slander Fang Xiaonuan. She had only posted Fang Xiaonuan’s chat records with a certain senior, as well as the plastic surgery hospital’s personal confession, which had greatly damaged Fang Xiaonuan’s reputation.

Photos could be faked, but videos could not. Now, there were scandalous videos on the school forum featuring Gao Qianqian. She was the one who had plastic surgery, and she was also the one who had gotten close to the senior. There was even a video of her going to a nightclub. The whole thing was uncensored.

All of a sudden, Gao Qianqian’s reputation plummeted. She went to Fang Xiaonuan and accused, “Fang Xiaonuan, you’re the one who framed me!”

Fang Xiaonuan was in the classroom watching Gao Qianqian’s videos with Liu Siyu. She completely ignored Gao Qianqian. Seeing this, Ji Wen got someone to “invite” her out.

Not long after, the topic of Fang Xiaonuan was brought to the top again on the school forum. It showed pictures of Fang Xiaonuan growing up. Then, the hospital doctor who had spread the rumor that she had undergone plastic surgery was arrested. It was said that the mistress had sent a lawyer’s letter in her name. The other party was frightened and immediately went to the school forum to apologize and explain what had happened.

When the three of them saw this news, they fell silent. Fang Xiaonuan had never thought of using a lawyer’s letter!

Liu Siyu asked, “Xiaonuan, did you really only find out about this morning?”

Fang Xiaonuan nodded. She asked her best friend, “Siyu, did you ask your brother to help me settle this matter?”

Liu Siyu shook his head. “We even went to the toilet together today. You’d know if I had. Besides, I don’t tend to do good deeds without taking credit. Who did it then?”

Ji Wen suddenly exclaimed, “I know who did it!”

The two besties looked at him at the same time. Fang Xiaonuan asked, “Was it you?”

Ji Wen shook his head. “It was my uncle. I went to look for you last night. You were asleep, so my uncle brought me to his study. I told him about it. The only one who can do such a thing is my uncle. Most people wouldn’t be able to find such an obscure video, let alone send a lawyer’s letter.”

Fang Xiaonuan was so shocked that she could not speak. Liu Siyu looked at her good friend with fear in her eyes. “Xiaonuan! What did you do to make Ji Lingchen fall so hard for you?”

Fang Xiaonuan did not believe it. She said, “Impossible. Ji Lingchen has a lot of work to do at the company. How would he have time to deal with such a small issue like mine?”
