Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the middle-aged man left, only the husband and wife were left in the office. Fang Xiaonuan had already sensed her husband’s increasingly intense gaze, so she went up to him directly. The man who had a murderous aura just now was completely different from the gentle husband from before. In that moment just now, it was as if she had transported to the time when the two of them had just gotten married. She did not like how bad his temper was.

Ji Lingchen’s heart was already filled with anger. Just now, he was interrupted by his wife, and the anger in his heart began burning even more intensely. He suddenly sat down on the boss’s chair, and the chair creaked from the impact.

“Did you sleep enough? You don’t even remember who I am?” Ji Lingchen asked in a low voice. His gaze had been fixed on this little wife who seemed to have no regrets about her actions. After so long, she still did not explain, so he could only speak first. Ji Lingchen did not know that his current behavior was a form of compromise.

Fang Xiaonuan pouted and said angrily, “I just don’t want that man to know that you’re my husband.”

Without a doubt, Ji Lingchen’s expression turned even darker when he heard this. Clearly, he was even angrier. His eyes were pitch black as he stared into his wife’s eyes and waited for an explanation.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “My husband should be the good-tempered, mild-mannered, reasonable, and extremely respectful Ji Lingchen. He’s not someone who yells at his subordinates or throws things at people.”

Huh? His little wife was complaining that he was too harsh on his subordinate just now.

Fang Xiaonuan was not afraid of Ji Lingchen. If he bullied her, she would fight with him. Her mindset was very simple. She continued, “So if I say that you’re my husband, everyone will know that I, Fang Xiaonuan, married a bad-tempered man. He’s simply inhuman. Shame on me!”

Ji Lingchen was speechless. His wife was scolding him again for being inhuman.

Fang Xiaonuan continued, “Since that’s the case, I’ll let you experience what it feels like to be disrespected.” Then, she deliberately called Ji Lingchen “uncle” and said that Ji Lingchen was an old man who liked to date young women and that he had a bad character.

Fang Xiaonuan’s words were like gasoline to Ji Lingchen’s anger. However, she was also the fire extinguisher. When Ji Lingchen looked at his wife’s cute demeanor, he would not be able to lose his temper no matter what. If anyone else said these things to Ji Lingchen, even members of his own family, he would not take it sitting down. However, the person who was saying these things was his little wife, his little kitten. He could only endure it!

Fang Xiaonuan did not know what her husband was thinking at all. She was still chattering non-stop. “You just threw reports at someone. That’s too much. You don’t look like a good person at all.”

Ji Lingchen said nothing. It was over. His own wife saw him as a bad person.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “That man just now was about the same age as Dad. You scolded him just like that and even threw things at him. You didn’t care about his pride at all. If his children saw this, wouldn’t they want to scold you for it? If someone treats my dad like that, I’ll definitely get even with that person!”

Ji Lingchen suddenly realized that his little wife had turned things around and made him think of his subordinate as her father.

Ji Lingchen said, “Your father is the chairman of the Fang Corporation. No one would treat him like this.” Right now, he was Ji Lingchen’s father-in-law as well. People would fawn over him. Who would dare to get angry at him?

Fang Xiaonuan frowned and stomped her feet. “Hubby, why don’t you understand what I mean? The point is that you don’t respect people!”

Ji Lingchen said, “But he’s just a subordinate. I’m paying him a high salary…”

Fang Xiaonuan said, “So you can humiliate him with a high salary?”

Ji Lingchen took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He patiently explained, “Xiaonuan, listen to me. The mistake he made just now was the lowest mistake a new employee could make. There are two possibilities. First, he took the data directly from his subordinates. Second, he deliberately wanted to fool me. That’s why I’m so angry.”

“He is a veteran employee of the company, so I asked him to do it again. If it were anyone else, I would have fired him immediately and he wouldn’t even have the chance to correct his mistake.”

“You said that I threw the reports at him. That is indeed my fault. I admit my mistake.”

“I was really too angry, so I couldn’t control my actions. I promise there won’t be a repeat of this, okay?”

Ji Lingchen patiently explained it all to his wife.

However, Fang Xiaonuan did not seem to be able to accept such an explanation. Her brows were still tightly furrowed and she did not say a word.
