Come on, wife, try it, it tastes really good!" Jiang Xi said as he handed the chicken leg to Fang Ning.
"Oh, it smells so good!" Fang Ning took the chicken leg and sniffed it, and his saliva immediately flowed out.
"Take a bite quickly." Jiang Xi urged, and saw that his wife liked the taste of roast chicken, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Fang Ning took a bite, and immediately his mouth was filled with the aroma of oil, fragrant but not greasy.
"It smells so good!" Fang Ning smiled at Jiang Xi and couldn't stop praising her.
Seeing his wife eating so deliciously, Jiang Xi felt very happy. This was even more delicious than what he was eating himself.
"Jiang Xi, where did you buy this roast chicken?"
"From a store near the department store."
"Ah, how did you buy it from there? It's far from our home. Why did you go there to buy roast chicken?"
...
...
Fang Ning's casual question immediately froze the smile on Jiang Xi's face. Tang Xue's appearance appeared in his mind. Jiang Xi suddenly felt like he had betrayed Fang Ning.
"I didn't do anything! Fang Ning, you have to believe me!" Jiang Xi explained anxiously.
Fang Ning didn't expect Jiang Xi to react so strongly. She stared straight into Jiang Xi's eyes and asked, "Jiang Xi, are you hiding something from me?"
"No, there is nothing I could hide from you. Haha." Jiang Xi realized that he had overreacted, so he quickly adjusted his mood and tried to get away with it.
"It's better not to. But the roast chicken here is really delicious. Bring another one back tomorrow." Fang Ning didn't pursue the matter further and started eating the chicken leg again.
"Okay. As long as you like, I'll bring you one every day." Jiang Xi saw that Fang Ning didn't ask any more questions, and his tense nerves relaxed.
"If we eat one chicken every day, our family will go bankrupt." Fang Ning was amused when he heard Jiang Xi's words.
"My wife wants to eat it, so you have to buy it for her no matter what. Not to mention going bankrupt, you can even take my life!" Jiang Xi said as he hugged Fang Ning and put his big hands on Fang Ning's bulging belly.
"You're the only one who talks too much." Fang Ning was delighted when she heard Jiang Xi's words. She didn't marry the wrong person. The man next to her treated her like a treasure and spoiled her.
"Wife, you eat first, I'm going to the toilet."
Jiang Xi had to pee urgently because he drank too much soda this afternoon. He had to go take care of it.
After solving his personal problems, Jiang Xi hummed a song and returned to the courtyard. Suddenly, Zhang Hui called Jiang Xi. Zhang Hui had just returned, holding the clothes she bought from the department store.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xi was not in a good mood when he saw Zhang Hui. Last time, Zhang Hui almost hurt Fang Ning, and he still holds a grudge against her.
"Jiang Xi, did you go to the department store today?" Zhang Hui deliberately spoke so loudly.
"What's it got to do with you!" Jiang Xi glared at Zhang Hui as soon as he heard it. Not wanting to talk to Zhang Hui anymore, he turned around and walked straight into the house.
"I'm just curious, who is that beautiful girl you were shopping with? She doesn't look like Fang Ning to me." Zhang Hui was secretly happy, and she spoke very loudly, fearing that others might not hear her.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Xi's head suddenly buzzed when he heard Zhang Hui mention Tang Xue, but he couldn't show any panic and had to stay calm!
"How could I say that? I went to the department store today and saw you and a girl shopping together. If I said that, I'll be struck by lightning!" Zhang Hui saw that Jiang Xi not only refused to admit it but also treated her harshly. She couldn't let go of this opportunity to take revenge on him. After all, it was Jiang Xi who dismantled her lucky wooden board last time!
"What are you two talking about?" Fang Ning was attracted by Zhang Hui's words.
"It's nothing, she's just crazy. How could I go shopping with another girl? She must have seen it wrong! She is framing me here." Jiang Xi saw Fang Ning coming out, and quickly hugged Fang Ning, wanting to send her back to the room.
"Wait. Don't bring me into the house." Fang Ning didn't believe Zhang Hui at first. After all, there was a feud between their two families. But when she saw Jiang Xi couldn't wait to get her out of the way, Fang Ning became suspicious.
"Fang Ning, you don't know, Jiang Xi and that girl were very close this afternoon, they almost hugged each other!" Zhang Hui was eager to watch the fun and described the scene of Jiang Xi and Tang Xue shopping in the afternoon in vivid detail, fearing that Fang Ning would be angry.
"Zhang Hui, shut up! Don't force me to hit you!" Jiang Xi was annoyed by Zhang Hui, and he raised his hand to hit Zhang Hui.
"Oh, you did something wrong and you still want to hit others. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it!" Zhang Hui stole a glance at Fang Ning and saw that Fang Ning was obviously angry. Her goal was achieved, and after saying the last two sentences, she ran away.
"Don't run if you have the guts!" Jiang Xi was so angry at Zhang Hui's words that he stomped his feet. He never expected that Zhang Hui would catch him doing this ugly thing.
"Jiang Xi! Come back!" Fang Ning shouted loudly.
"Wife, I'm really wronged! Don't believe her lies. She said that just to make you angry." Jiang Xi immediately ran back to Fang Ning and kept comforting her.
"I was wondering why you went so far to buy roast chicken today. Now I know for sure. It turns out you were dating a girl behind my back!" Fang Ning reached out and twisted Jiang Xi's ear, wishing he could pull his ear off.
"Fang Ning, let go. You are pregnant now. Don't get angry." Zhao Xingmei came out of the kitchen and saw Fang Ning and Jiang Xi were angry. She immediately stepped forward and pulled them apart.
"Mom! Jiang Xi went shopping with another little girl behind my back! I worked so hard to carry a child for him, but he was so stupid! Woo woo..." Fang Ning started crying as she spoke, tears falling down her face in strings.
"Oh, there must be a misunderstanding, Fang Ning, don't worry. With your mom here, she will never let him do anything stupid!" Zhao Xingmei was very anxious seeing Fang Ning crying so sadly. Fang Ning's fetus was not stable enough at this time, so he couldn't cry like that.
"Fang Ning, there is indeed a misunderstanding. This afternoon, I asked Jiang Xi and a female colleague from the factory to go to the department store to do some work."
Jiang Xun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Look, I told you there was a misunderstanding. Jiang Xun, quickly explain the situation to Fang Ning." Zhao Xingmei urged Jiang Xun to finish his words.
Jiang Xi stared at Jiang Xun with wide eyes. He didn't expect that his elder brother would help him lie.
"I'm going on a business trip in a few days and I have to attend a very important meeting, so I asked Jiang Xi to help me pick out a suitable outfit in the department store."
Fang Ning stopped crying after hearing Jiang Xun's words, but she was still skeptical.
"Then why do we need a female colleague to accompany Jiang Xi?" Fang Ning asked.
"This female colleague's relative works in the department store. She can help me pick out good styles by accompanying me to buy clothes." Jiang Xun lied without blushing or getting nervous, and no one could notice the flaw.
"See! I said I was wronged!" Jiang Xi saw that his elder brother had covered up his lie and immediately bluffed.
"You are wrongly accusing me and you don't explain. You made me cry so sadly for nothing!" Fang Ning wiped the tears from her face and blamed Jiang Xi.
"I...can you listen to my explanation..." Jiang Xi muttered softly.
Zhang Hui, who had returned to the house at this time, did not hear Fang Ning's noise. She stuck her head out of the window in confusion and saw that it was Jiang Xun who rescued Jiang Xi. She immediately looked away in disappointment.
"Jiang Xi and his wife didn't fight! What a bummer!" Zhang Hui pouted and muttered.
"Zhang Hui, what did you say?" Aunt Liu came to Zhang Hui's room to get something, but she didn't hear clearly what Zhang Hui was muttering.
