Love After Marriage, He Got A Free Wife - Chapter 292
292 Visiting the Ji Family
After a while, Liu Siyan arrived. Ji Lingchen had informed him of their meeting.
He wanted to take his mother away as soon as he arrived. Mrs. Liu also understood the Ji family’s intentions, so she did not need to continue persuading them. She could understand Fang Xiaonuan’s points, but she could not help but be selfish. It was human nature. No one would dare to say that they were absolutely selfless. Liu Siyan came to pick Mrs. Liu up. The couple were the only ones left in the cafe.
Fang Xiaonuan felt stifled. She picked up the glass of water on the table and finished it in one gulp. “Hubby, do you think Xiaoyu will hate me?”
She was the one who had personally verified her identity. If she had not insisted on doing a paternity test, she might have been able to live happily in the Liu family for a longer period of time.
“Do you regret it?” Ji Lingchen asked.
Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She took a tissue, wiped her tears, and blew her nose. But even in her current state, her husband still thought she looked cute.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “If I were Liu Siyu, I might not be able to accept it. But if I don’t learn the truth, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”
Ji Lingchen paid the bill and left with his little wife, whose eyes were red from crying.
At Jing University, Liu Siyu was not in the mood to be in class. She asked Ji Wen, “Ji Wen, can I visit your house today?”
“Aren’t you afraid that my parents will think of you as my girlfriend?” Ji Wen asked, looking silly.
Liu Siyu looked at Ji Wen, who was not very smart. He was not stupid at critical moments, but sometimes, he really seemed dumb.
“Can’t I just say that I’m Xiaonuan’s friend? ”
Ji Wen saw that Liu Siyu was a little impatient and quickly agreed. “Sure, I’ll take you to my house after school.”
Fang Xiaonuan skipped class for the day and followed her husband to the office. When she returned home that night, she realized that there was an unexpected guest in the house. “Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?”
Liu Siyu said, “I just got here not too long ago. You didn’t even do anything today at…”
“Ah, it’s good that you’re here. It’s good.” Fang Xiaonuan quickly interrupted Liu Siyu. If her family found out that she had skipped class, they would lecture her.
Old Master Ji looked at the little girl in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity. “Xiaoyu, I’ve always heard my Xiaonuan mention you. She says that you two are best friends.”
Liu Siyu’s eyes teared up when she saw him. In the shadow of a memory she had of him, he did not seem this old. He should have black hair. Every day after work, he would hug a little girl in a princess dress, kiss her little face, and say with a smile, “Did Xiaoyu miss Daddy today?”
The little girl would reply with a smile and say, “I did.”
He would smile even more happily, and then he would tilt his head and say, “If you miss me, why don’t you give Daddy a kiss?”
The little girl kissed his cheek, then picked up her toys and started playing in the living room.
“Child, what’s wrong with you?” Feng Qi noticed Liu Siyu’s unusual behavior and quickly handed her a tissue.
Liu Siyu wiped her tears and said in a nasal voice, “It’s been too cold recently. I have rhinitis and the wind is strong. I’m sorry. It got into my eyes.”
She looked at Feng Qi with tears in her eyes. “Xiaonuan, I’m here to play with you today.”
Then, she walked to her friend’s side and held her hand. “Show me around your house.”
Fang Xiaonuan felt that there was something different about Liu Siyu, and she was not used to it. She even felt that the person before her was not Liu Siyu at all.
She turned to look at her husband, and Ji Lingchen nodded at her.
Fang Xiaonuan brought Liu Siyu out of the living room. The Ji family had lived here for generations, and there was a spacious green area in the backyard.
Liu Siyu’s childhood memories overlapped with the scene in front of her. She seemed to see a checkered blanket on the lawn, and she and a little boy were each holding a shovel and playing with soil.
There were two women with gentle expressions standing beside them, and not far away, her brother stood like a little knight.
“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you’re distracted again,” Fang Xiaonuan said.
Liu Siyu was stunned for a moment. She came back to her senses and walked on the strange yet familiar lawn.
The man by the window had been watching the two of them, and he had some doubts in his heart.
Ji Wen also walked to the window and asked, “Uncle, you really have a special liking for this window.”
Back then, when he had been playing with Fang Xiaonuan in the courtyard, his uncle had been standing here and watching them too.
Now that Fang Xiaonuan had gone out for a walk with someone else, his uncle was back here, watching.
“You were the one who brought Liu Siyu to our house?” Ji Lingchen suddenly asked.
“No.” Ji Wen shook his head. “She wanted to come.”
Ji Lingchen frowned.
In the evening, the Ji family invited Liu Siyu to join them for dinner, but she refused.
After a while, Liu Siyan came to pick her up.
