Jiang Jincheng cooked a good meal for Xiao Ling in the kitchen, a bowl of egg fried rice with shrimp, green beans, and corn kernels, and also poured him a cup of hot milk and a fried golden sausage.

He simply brought the meal to Xiao Ling on the bed and waited for him to finish eating. Xiao Ling didn't know whether he was really hungry or because Jiang Jincheng cooked the meal so he ate it so deliciously.

He ate very cleanly, without leaving a single grain of rice. Xiao Ling wiped his mouth and looked at Jiang Jincheng with satisfaction: "My wife's cooking is still the best~"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Jincheng rubbed his head helplessly and dotingly: "Lie down, I'll wash the dishes tonight, your arm is injured, don't move, and go to bed early after you're done."

"Okay~ I'll listen to my wife!"

Xiao Ling obediently lay in bed, and only clung to Jiang Jincheng after he came back after cleaning up.

"Daughter-in-law~"

"Well, go to bed."

Jiang Jincheng knew that Xiao Ling wanted him to hold him, so he obediently held Xiao Ling in his arms, patting his back gently over and over again, trying to coax him to sleep like a child.

When Jiang Jincheng woke up, he felt that he had not rested well and his head was aching. Xiao Ling was obviously very sleepy. He curled up in his arms and hummed, not wanting to get up at all.

"I'm going to ask for a day off for you. You won't be working today. You came back so late last night and made a lot of noise. You should get a good night's sleep today."

But Xiao Ling stood up and put on his clothes quickly after hearing this: "No need! Uncle hasn't rested well either. If you don't plan to take a leave, it's not appropriate for me to take a leave! My dad will definitely beat me!"

Jiang Jincheng paused while putting on his clothes. He looked at Xiao Ling with a half-smile: "What? Aren't you afraid of me spanking you? Are you so afraid of your dad?"

"How can it be the same?"

Xiao Ling pouted and whispered, "When my wife beats me, it's called beating is love and scolding is love! My father beats me just because he has nothing to do and is killing time!"

As he said this, he had to hold Jiang Jincheng's waist and rub it hard: "I am happy for my uncle to spank me! My uncle loves me so much, what's wrong with spanking me a few times?"

"You little brat..."

Jiang Jincheng felt better. He felt comfortable seeing Xiao Ling snuggling in his arms like a darling wife.

After the two finished washing up, Jiang Jincheng drove the car himself, which was a rare occasion. Seeing that Xiao Ling was very sleepy, he was afraid that something might go wrong. In the spirit of cherishing life and refusing to drive while tired, he reluctantly let Xiao Ling go to the passenger seat to rest this time.

Jiang Jincheng originally thought that he and Xiao Ling could return to normal life after what happened last night, but he didn't expect that Xiao Ling disappeared somewhere at noon and didn't even answer his phone calls.

Finally, Director Xiao was worried that Jiang Jincheng would feel unhappy, so he dragged Jiang Jincheng to a restaurant.

"Old Jiang...if you ask me, please be more open-minded...sigh..."

Director Xiao took a big bite of the tripe and asked, "When did Xiao Ling come back last night? What happened when he came back?"

Jiang Jincheng pursed his lips and obviously didn't want to say more. He just shook his head and whispered, "He definitely didn't cheat. This kid's character is there. He definitely wouldn't do such a wicked thing."

After hearing what he said, Director Xiao guessed roughly what was going on. He handed Jiang Jincheng a few pieces of fat beef and asked, "Did you scratch the mark on his collarbone?"

"I came here early in the morning and saw you from a distance. You two can't do that in the middle of the night, right? Are you so energetic?"

"not me…"

Jiang Jincheng was annoyed when he heard this. He couldn't help but think of the teeth marks on Xiao Ling's shoulder...

The bite was so deep... who could have bitten it... who would leave a mark in such a place...

But it was impossible for going to bed to leave bruises on the waist and abdomen. It was obvious that they were caused by a fight. Jiang Jincheng frowned and couldn't understand for a while why Xiao Ling would run out to fight for no reason.

"Old Xiao, you didn't assign any messy tasks to Xiao Ling, did you?"

Director Xiao didn't swallow a mouthful of chives. He was stunned for a moment, then he stared and said incoherently: "I am crazy and I gave a weakling a task! What can he do! What! I was counting on him to catch the fugitive! Damn it! His own life is not enough!"

Jiang Jincheng thought so too. He gently put down his chopsticks and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ling must have had a fight with someone last night. The mark on his collarbone was not caused by me. He didn't come back until after 3 o'clock last night. I thought something was wrong and asked him to take off his clothes."

Jiang Jincheng drank a sip of water slowly: "It would have been fine if I hadn't taken it off. Once I did, I would have been covered in marks! It was pitch dark at the time, so I just turned on the bedside lamp. When I saw it, I was so scared!"

"Damn it! I was really thinking about giving you a crow's mouth and saying that he dared to cheat on me!"

Jiang Jincheng sighed and rubbed his brows: "The more I think about it, the more it seems wrong. When I calm down, I see that there are many bruises and scratches on his waist and abdomen. They must have been caused when he was fighting with others."

"But does Xiao Ling look like someone who would initiate a fight? He probably thought I had misunderstood, so he quickly explained to me that he wasn't cheating, but was really busy."

"But seeing how he hesitated to speak a few times, I was thinking that you had given him some secret mission without telling him! In the end, I didn't ask him because he couldn't say it. Anyway, the child didn't cheat on me. I just don't know what he was busy with."

The more Director Xiao listened, the more strange it felt. He looked up at Jiang Jincheng and said, "Why don't you ask? Just ask him directly. If you ask him a few more times, he will definitely tell you!"

"Why did you ask?"

Jiang Jincheng ate in silence and then spoke calmly: "I said, as long as he doesn't make mistakes of principle, I don't need to ask about his private life."

"Old Xiao, Xiao Ling is an adult, he has his own privacy."

Jiang Jincheng smoked a cigarette slowly: "If he had something to report to me, it would be his own decision. But Lao Xiao, reporting means that the other party is responsible, but it is not his obligation."

"Xiao Ling's desire to report it means he won't hide anything from me, so I'm definitely happy about that. But he must have a reason for not wanting to report it, and we have to understand and respect his choice. He will definitely tell me after he finishes what he needs to do. If he doesn't say anything, it means he doesn't want me to know, so I can choose to keep quiet."

Jiang Jincheng blew out a smoke ring and laughed: "I haven't seen you report to my sister-in-law all day long. You are a bit hypocritical. You can't report everything to your wife, so Xiao Ling doesn't need to report everything to me either."

"Being in a relationship is not like reporting to each other. It's just two independent people living together and supporting each other."

"If you really have to report everything to each other, big or small, then is this a relationship or finding yourself a mother?"

Director Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you! Damn it, I just told you to go ask because I saw you staying alone in your empty room every day and I saw you were almost like a stone waiting for your husband!"

"But to be honest, I have no idea what he did! Tsk... Old Jiang, this is not a solution. You should wait a few days. If he continues to do this every day, I suggest you ask him clearly!"

Director Xiao knocked on the table and looked at Jiang Jincheng very seriously: "Indeed, he doesn't have to tell you everything, but as his partner and his elder, you have the right and obligation to know what he is doing!"

"I'm telling you, there must be something wrong when something seems abnormal! Find out as soon as possible so that you can feel more at ease! Anyway, I can see that you must have been upset and didn't sleep well last night!"

"You say he can't possibly cheat on you, but you can't figure out where those scratches came from. You must be feeling bad!"

"Um…"

Jiang Jincheng admitted that he was indeed concerned about the inexplicable scratches on Xiao Ling's body... especially the bite mark on his shoulder...

"Wait for another three days. If he continues to behave like this, I will go find him and ask him about it myself."
