169 Wifey, Call Me Hubby Once Again
âIâll explain it for the last time.â Li Yanchen paused to emphasize every word.
âI didnât want to embarrass Ms. Ji, but there is always some person who makes an issue out of this. Now, they have targeted Wanwan, deliberately trying to create misunderstandings between us.â Li Yanchen held Lin Wanâs hand as he spoke.
âI donât know who this friend of Ms. Jiâs is. For the past seven years, I had no one in my life, except Lin Wan. I will explain about this photo in the hotel lobby. Ms. Ji used to frequently text me despite making it clear that I had no romantic feelings towards her. When the texts didnât stop, I blocked her number. But she somehow found the information of the hotel I was staying at. I refused to meet her but she insisted that she would wait for me in the hotel lobby. I only went downstairs that day to ask her to leave. You can see in the photo that there is a short distance between me and Ms. Ji. I have never crossed that distance and hence, have never crossed a line in any way. Neither have I ever given an indication that there was anything between us. I donât have any past exes in my life.â
If it wasnât for the promise that he had made to his sister-in-law, Li Yanchen would have explained everything about his brotherâs situation as well and told everyone that he didnât even have a wife in the past. Lin Wan was the only one by his side.
âI have said this before, and I will say it again. Lin Wan is the only woman by my side. Whether itâs Ms. Ji, or her friend or anyone else, I sincerely request you, please do not create any more trouble,â said Li Yanchen. âI have already called the police and given the ID of the person who sent this to Wanwan.â
Ji Hanzhi had just tuned into the Li familyâs live broadcast room. She felt nervous when she heard that police would be involved in the case.
When she asked K to send the message to Lin Wan, Ji Hanzhi had already figured a way out. Even if Li Yanchen searched for the person, she could just say that she had only mentioned it in passing three years ago and had no idea her friend would do something like this.
With that, everyone would, at most, say that she had been careless in making friends, and she could still gain a wave of sympathy. However, Ji Hanzhi had not expected Li Yanchen to call the police.
Ji Hanzhi had to think fast. She rushed to the Li familyâs courtyard. She pushed open the gate and walked in.
âLin Wan, I am so sorry. A fan informed me on my live stream room that someone had sent you a message. There is nothing between me and Li Yanchen. He only helped me once in that hospital and nothing else,â said Ji Hanzhi, tearing up a little.
âThere was a time when I⦠really liked him. I was in a bad mental state when I realized he felt nothing like that toward me. Thankfully, I had friends who stuck by me and helped me get through it. I know what my friend did was wrong but they were just trying to fight on my behalf. Please forgive their rashness and donât get the police involved!â Ji Hanzhi turned to the camera, tears streaming down her face.
âAnd please, everyone! Donât create a fuss about Li Yanchen and me ever again. My friend was reckless. I know they are worried about me but what they did is wrong. I understand they are speaking up for me because they assume I am not over everything that happened. Any of your loyal friends would do the same for you.â
[Sister Hanzhi didnât know about it either. Since Mr. Li has already clarified, I think there is no need to involve the law.]
[Itâs great to have a good friend whoâs willing to do anything to stand up for you. But Hanzhi, you really have to tell them that youâre a public figure and they have to be careful what they say when they speak up for you. If you are not careful, it will really harm your image.]
[Well, everything is out in the clear. We all have watched it. I donât think this is Hanzhiâs fault.]
[So, if a friend does something to hurt others claiming they are doing it for you, everything should be forgiven?]
[From Ji Hanzhiâs point of view, she hopes that her best friend wonât be held legally accountable. But thinking of Lin Wan⦠I feel that itâs one friend who sent something like this today, what if another friend sends something else tomorrow? Will they be allowed to get away if they claim they did it for friendship again? If Li Yanchen hadnât clarified things, wouldnât this have caused harm to Lin Wanâs state of mind?]
[Itâs just one message. Itâs not that serious.]
[It is serious for the one who received the message. If Lin Wanâs friend sent a message to Ji Hanzhi based on a rumor, would you all say the same?]
âHubby, itâs alright. Donât do it.â Lin Wan glanced at Li Yanchen who was trying to protect her. She then glanced at Ji Hanzhi who was sobbing.
âHubbyâ¦â Li Yanchen felt flustered. He kissed Lin Wan in front of everyone, including Ji Hanzhi.
âAlright then. I will listen to my wife,â said Li Yanchen. âWifey, call me hubby once again.â
Ji Hanzhiâs tears hung on her cheeks as she watched the two people in front of her openly flirting. Her embarrassment and Lin Wanâs calm demeanor were in stark contrast. At that moment, she looked like a clown. She ran out of the Li familyâs courtyard.
[That caught me off guard!]
[This is the first time I have heard Lin Wan call him hubby, at least on the show. Thank you to this friend, whoever they are. Their message brought Mr. Li and Lin Wan even closer.]
[Hehehe. I suggest you move the bed outside.]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[I kind of pity Ji Hanzhi. It was another blow for her.]
[Itâs really hard for a woman to forget someone. I also think that Ji Hanzhi still likes Li Yanchen. Itâs only because he is married that she is suppressing her feelings. She is doing very well right now. But it sucks to watch a person you love kiss someone else in front of you.]
[He is kissing his own wife in his own live broadcast room in their own house. Whatâs so wrong about that? @Previous poster, if it was that difficult for Ji Hanzhi, why did she come to the show in the first place knowing Li Yanchen would be here with his family?]
[I also think that Hanzhi was asking for it.]
[Li Yanchenâs way of straightforward clarification is worth noting. If everyone could put such a clean distance with their exes and clearly reinforce their boundaries, would there really be trouble in any relationship?]
[Thatâs right. He cleared his name and gave Lin Wan a sense of security.]
After Ji Hanzhi ran from the courtyard, she really wanted to find a place where she could be alone. But she needed to get her children back. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan couldnât be left at Tao Jingyuanâs house forever.
She wiped her tears and washed her face. She put on a smile and went to Feifeiâs house.
Tao Jingyuan didnât know about the Li familyâs live broadcast yet and had taken the three children to play The Eagle Catches The Chickens game.
Under the sunlight, Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan laughed heartily as they ran.
When she saw her daughters, Ji Hanzhiâs eyes welled up with tears again.
It was the last day of the episode. When she arrived here, she was full of confidence. She hadnât been able to make any progress with Li Yanchen. Instead, she had only gotten to witness how Li Yanchen and Lin Wanâs relationship got better and better.
Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan saw their mother.
âMama!â The two of them hugged Ji Hanzhiâs legs from each side. She leaned down to hug her daughters.
âMama, why are you crying?â Tuan Tuanâs little hand wiped away the tears on Ji Hanzhiâs face.
âMama, are you sick?â Yuan Yuan touched her motherâs forehead.
Ji Hanzhi shook her head. âNo, I am alright. Dust got into my eyes. You two, go and play.â
âKuo, you look after the children. I am going to go talk with Ji Hanzhi for a while.â Tao Jingyuan noticed that Ji Hanzhi was upset.
âTuan Tuan, Yuan Yuan, uncle will teach you how to sing. Let mommy rest for a while, okay?â Zheng Kuo stood among the children.
âLetâs go to the backyard.â Tao Jingyuan led Ji Hanzhi to a place where the camera couldnât reach. In the morning, when Ji Hanzhi had hurriedly dropped the children at her house, Tao Jingyuan had guessed that something was wrong.
The two of them sat down on the stone bench.
âWhat happened?â Tao Jingyuan asked.
Ji Hanzhi didnât intend to say anything. But when someone showed concern for her, she couldnât hold back her tears.
After listening to Ji Hanzhiâs story, Tao Jingyuan didnât know how to comfort her. She sympathized with Ji Hanzhi, but she didnât support her friendâs actions.
Tao Jingyuan was honest. She told Ji Hanzhi directly that her friend had indeed broken the law.
