Fang Xiaonuan understood that she had hit a sore spot with her question, so she did not press the subject. Instead, she quietly sat back down on the sofa and started eating. Then, she asked again, "Hubby, then can you tell me, is the person who left you a man or a woman?"
Ji Lingchen looked at his wife, whose tone had become cautious, and did not say anything.
Fang Xiaonuan immediately knew the answer. She replied dejectedly, "I understand." Although she did not ask more questions, she was silently picturing the woman's appearance in her head.
Fang Xiaonuan was so distracted during the meal that she did not even notice Ji Lingchen putting food in her bowl.
Ji Lingchen asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Fang Xiaonuan replied, "Nothing... you wouldn't be happy if I told you."
Ji Lingchen chose to respect his wife and did not pursue the issue.
