CHAPTER 294: CHAPTER 294: YOU HAVE SUCH A GOOD TEMPER

Lu Beichen was incredibly distressed, so he walked over to hug her, gently stroking her back, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault for making you suffer!"

Ji Niandong shook her head and quickly wiped away her tears, "No, it’s me who made Little Uncle suffer! Dad has always been strange-tempered, and even worse when he drinks!" Ji Niandong gave a bitter smile, "It’s not the first time he’s hit me!"

Lu Beichen furrowed his brow slightly, while Zhu Yiming, who was standing nearby, also sympathized with her. He went over and patted Lu Beichen on the shoulder, "I’ll go check on Uncle first, considering my status as his lifesaver is still something."

"I’ll go with you!" Li Yi also followed along.

Once they left, Ji Niandong hugged him tightly and cried out, "Little Uncle!"

"Mm, I’m here!" He hugged her tighter, "Cry if you want to cry!"

Ji Niandong suddenly began to cry, sounding utterly heartbroken.

Lu Beichen rested his chin on her head, and let out a heavy sigh, "No matter why your dad dislikes me, you’re his only precious daughter. Marrying you without his consent gives him the right to be mad at me. Right now, he’s upset, so we can’t be impatient. In any case, don’t be too sad. As for your dad, I’ll make sure he sees my sincerity."

Ji Niandong sniffled, "Little Uncle, I believe in you!"

"Good, don’t cry! Zhu Yiming will probably have someone send your dad back home. You aren’t feeling well; I’ll have Li Yi take you home to rest, and I’ll head to Ancient Garden to have a good talk with your dad!" He spoke patiently and softly, clearly having borne the brunt of the hurtful words yet still comforting her.

Ji Niandong pulled at his shirt and looked up, saying, "You’re really going to go alone?"

Lu Beichen held her hand and nodded, "Didn’t you just say you trust me? Don’t worry, I’ve faced much more difficult opponents in the business world, and compared to them, your dad is rather nice!"

"Little Uncle, you have such a good temper!" Ji Niandong felt wronged on his behalf.

Lu Beichen smiled and wiped away her tears, "I’m only good-tempered towards you!"

So, is it love and devotion?

She thought about it and realized it seemed to be. In the past, he wasn’t even patient with his own son, but later he treated Nian Nian much better after she brought it up!

"Little Uncle, you’re almost becoming a husband obsessed!" She burst into laughter again.

Lu Beichen shook his head, "I have to let everyone know I’m obsessed with my wife! That way, they won’t feel you’re wronged!"

"Doesn’t Little Uncle feel wronged?"

"You’re already mine, why should I feel wronged?" He raised his hand and playfully tapped her nose, incredibly doting.

Ji Niandong felt herself floating again!

After Li Yi drove her home, Lu Beichen went alone to Ancient Garden. Before he reached the door, he heard Ji Guoqiang’s grumbling voice, "You think I’ll be grateful just because you put these things at home? That girl is just like that woman, obsessed with money!"

"Oh come on, Old Ji! If it weren’t for Tongtong and her, um, husband, you wouldn’t be doing so well here. They bought these things out of respect for you; aren’t they comfortable? If you don’t like them, leave them here, and I’ll come use them every day!" A middle-aged woman’s voice came out.

"Why are you being just like them?!"

"I just think that since you already bought them, why not use them?"

Ji Guoqiang fell silent, and Lu Beichen reached out to knock on the door.
