Tang Beibei’s face was red. She was angry and helpless as she explained hurriedly, “I’m just worried about your illness, not about you kissing me.”

If she really didn’t want him to kiss her, she wouldn’t have listened to him and would have pushed him away.

“Then kiss me again to make it up to me.”

Tang Beibei looked at him. This man was acting shameless. He had already kissed her.

However, she couldn’t take his burning gaze and kissed his cheek.

Jiang Jingchen was unmoved. “Beibei, I’ve already told you. There’s no need to be so polite between husband and wife. We don’t want pecks on cheeks, we want kisses on lips.”

Would this man ever let this go?

Tang Beibei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She could only kiss him again on the lips.

“Is that better? Tell me where you’re feeling unwell, and we’ll go to the hospital.”

Jiang Jingchen lowered his head and sneaked a kiss on her lips. “You’ve cured me. I don’t need to go to the hospital now.”

“Are you sure?” Tang Beibei asked again.

“I’m sure. My wife is my medicine.”

“…”Tang Beibei smiled helplessly. His smooth talking was more like a child who didn’t want to go to the hospital. Super childish.

After they returned to the villa, Tang Beibei went to the kitchen to make dinner. Jiang Jingchen went upstairs and waited for Song Zhou to close the door of the study.

“Song Zhou, you’ve become quite bold!”

Although Jiang Jingchen was in a wheelchair, the 1.8-meter-tall Song Zhou was so scared by his cold sarcasm that he lowered his head.

The young master was quite scary when he lost his temper.

There was once a male colleague who was scolded to tears in the office. There was no one in the company who was not afraid of the young master.

“I’m sorry, young master. I just thought that I might scare the young madam if I took action in front of her.”

The man’s face relaxed a little at the mention of Tang Beibei.

“I thought that you ignored my order because you wanted to find another job.”

Song Zhou felt wronged and almost knelt to apologize.

“I was wrong, young master.”

“Okay. I’ll dock your annual bonus this time around. If this happens again, you’ll be fired!”

Song Zhou was shocked. He had worked for the young master for a long time, and this was the first time the young master had talked about firing him. He must be furious.

“It won’t happen again, young master. I’ll do a background check on that man immediately.”

“Get out.”

After Song Zhou left, Jiang Jingchen sat in silence for a while before he wheeled himself to the kitchen downstairs.

“Beibei, what do you need me to do?” His tone was as warm as the sun, completely different from the Lucifer-like tone he used just now in the study.

“You have a very important task today.” Tang Beibei smiled and handed him a pair of chopsticks. “You are going to taste this and tell me if it needs more salt.”

Jiang Jingchen took the chopsticks and took a bite. “A bit on the bland side.”

Tang Beibei replied, “Thank you, hubby. I’ll put more salt in the next dish.”

As she spoke, she put the choy sum into the wok and quickly stir-fried it. In just a few minutes, she passed the choy sum dish for him to try.

Jiang Jingchen took a bite and raised his eyebrows at her. “This is also bland. Do you prefer bland food?”

As a chef, she wasn’t precise with seasoning but cooked by experience. However, these two dishes were very lightly seasoned.

Tang Beibei shook her head. “It’s not that I prefer bland food. You’re sick and you shouldn’t eat anything too salty, so I put less salt.”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t expect her to pay attention to this detail. He had a poor appetite since he got sick.

“Beibei, that’s very thoughtful of you.”

Tang Beibei was very happy to hear the compliment. “Of course. You are my husband and I said that I would take care of you.”

She finished cooking the last dish, set the table and served all the dishes. The two of them began to eat.

Jiang Jingchen looked at the three dishes, two bowls, and the chopsticks in his hands. He then looked up at the woman who was beaming.

Although this felt like an ordinary life, it felt precious.

“Hubby, why are you looking at me?”

Jiang Jingchen replied, “Perhaps because you might be more beautiful and delicious than the food.”

Tang Beibei blushed and covered her face with her hands. Although her husband was impotent, he was good at coaxing people.

After dinner, Tang Beibei quickly cleaned up the kitchen and went to translate the documents.

Jiang Jingchen frowned when he saw her doing her homework at the dining table. He said, “Beibei, there’s oil all over the dining table. Come to my study room to do your homework.”

“It’s okay, I’ve wiped it clean.”

Tang Beibei was focused on her article and didn’t even look at him. Jiang Jingchen was unhappy and wheeled himself next to her.

And then he saw her mobile phone screen something about a man’s physiological reaction when aroused, and factors that affected a man’s stamina…

Was she trying to tell him something?

Jiang Jingchen took a deep breath and stared at the woman’s side profile, which was as tender as chicken. He really wanted to take a bite.

“Beibei, why are you looking into this?”

“I’m translating an article. It’s homework that my teacher gave me. I’d better finish it quickly.”

Tang Beibei’s eyes were still on the article. When she saw words that she didn’t understand, she would guess first and then check to confirm if she had guessed correctly.

“English to Chinese translation. You can ask me.”

Only then did Tang Beibei looked at him. “You can help me?”

Jiang Jingchen knocked gently on her forehead. “Have you forgotten that I’ve lived abroad for many years? English is my second language. I usually read English newspapers.”

Tang Beibei’s eyes lit up; she was pleasantly surprised.

“Oh yeah, you’ve lived abroad for so many years, you must be more proficient in English than me. I’ll ask you if I don’t understand.”

Jiang Jingchen stroked her head and looked at her handwritten translation. “I have a computer in my study. You can use it.”

“Then it’s even better!”

Tang Beibei didn’t have a computer, so she could only write her translation by hand and then type them out using a school computer.

She carried her school bag and pushed his wheelchair to his study.

It was her first time in the study. The decorations in the study were also very minimalistic. There were only two large bookshelves against the wall, filled with all kinds of books.

“You can sit here and use my computer.”

Tang Beibei sat down obediently and turned on the laptop. However, the monitor displayed an unlock screen requesting for a password.

“Hubby, what’s the password for the computer?”

Jiang Jingchen paused for a few seconds and looked into her eyes. He had many confidential documents of the company on his computer.

He turned the computer around, avoided her gaze and quickly typed in the password before returning the unlocked computer to her.

“Thank you, hubby. Your computer keyboard feels good.”

Tang Beibei didn’t care that he had keyed in the password away from her just now. Her attention was on the computer keyboard.

“You like it?”

“Yes. It feels better than the computers in school.”

Tang Beibei opened a new document with a smile and started to type out her handwritten translation.

“Beibei, you can scan those in.” Jiang Jingchen taught her when he saw that she was wasting too much time.

“Oh, how?”

Tang Beibei was not familiar with IT products.

Jiang Jingchen took out his phone, opened an app, and scanned the text she had written. An electronic version immediately appeared in the app, and he sent her the text.

He also told her that there were special software for translation. Every industry had their own productivity tools, which helped to reduce time spent and improve efficiency.

Tang Beibei listened to his deep voice talking about professional tools. In the quiet night, his scars werecompletely ignored and she felt his image grow in the heart.

“Hubby, you know so much.”

“I don’t just know. My hands-on experience is quite rich too. Do you want to try?”

Jiang Jingchen’s heart warmed when he saw her bright eyes staring at him. They looked at each other, eyes filled only by each other.

He caressed her cheeks with his large hands and slowly lowered his head. Just as he was about to place his lips on hers, Tang Beibei’s phone rang.

Tang Beibei was shocked back to her senses. She blushed and pulled away from him. She picked up her phone and answered the call.

“Beibei, how can you tell senior Lu Fan about your marriage? When your sickly husband dies, you would still be a virgin and can be with senior Lu Fan!”

Tang Beibei was so nervous that she accidentally activated her speaker phone. Jiang Jingchen heard every word Ruan Qi said.
