Tang Beibei could feel the change in the man’s breathing and her own little heart, which was beating unusually fast. She hugged him back unknowingly.

“Beibei, do you hate this?”

Tang Beibei let go of him and wanted to open her eyes, but the man covered her eyes with his large hand.

Without her sight, the man’s masculine aura rushed into her nostrils like vaporized liquor, and she felt a little dizzy.

“No, I don’t hate it.”

Very quickly, the man lowered his head and kissed her. It was a light kiss but his warm breath on her face made her blush.

“Do you hate this?”

“No,” she said.

“Very well, Beibei. That means you’ve fallen for me.” The man whispered in her ear. He sounded like a doctor who had just diagnosed a patient.

Tang Beibei was confused. She moved his hand away from her eyes and looked at him.

“I… I’ve fallen for you?”

“Beibei, tell me honestly. Have you ever been in love?” Jiang Jingchen asked.

Tang Beibei shook her head. She wanted to focus on her studies and not be distracted by boy-girl relationships.

Jiang Jingchen smiled. It would be easier if she had never been in love.

“You don’t hate it when I hug or kiss you. You also don’t mind kissing me. That means you like me.”

“So that’s what it feels like to like someone.”

Tang Beibei was surprised. She bit her lower lip, looked at his thin lips, and kissed him again to prove his theory. She didn’t hate it and found it a little exciting.

“Then I do like you.”

Jiang Jingchen smiled. “I know.”

He poked at her heart and said, “From now on, any information that reaches your brain can only be about me. You can’t think of other men. It’s betrayal if you think of other men. Will you betray me?”

“I won’t betray you. Me and Lu… Mmmm.”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to hear her say “Lu Fan”, so he kissed her to shut her up.

“Loyalty isn’t something you can just promise. I’ll get proper treatment and recover as soon as possible. And you’ll honor our marriage. You can’t divorce me unless I die!”

Tang Beibei’s heart sank every time she heard him talk about his death.

“Ptui, ptui, you are not going to die. I’ll study medicine seriously and help you with your treatment.”

Tang Beibei felt that his anger had subsided so she asked tentatively, “Hubby, I’d still like to go to school. Can I?”

“If you want to go to school, you can.”

In Jiang Jingchen’s heart, she could go to school, but Lu Fan couldn’t hang around her. He must find a way to drive Lu Fan away.

Attempting to steal his woman was courting death!

Tang Beibei heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and kissed him on the lips again. “Thank you, hubby. I will study hard!”

Jiang Jingchen held her and kissed her back. “Then I’ll work hard too. Let’s have a baby when I’m well. What do you think?”

Baby? He couldn’t do that thing, right? Tang Beibei blushed.

“Then, then you’ll have to wait until I graduate from college, okay?”

“Okay.” Jiang Jingchen said.

He wouldn’t force her to have a baby, but he had to drop a hint. If he was cured, he couldn’t only walk but he could do other things.

Tang Beibei thought about their visit to the Jiang residence again.

“You and your father had a falling-out. What are you going to do?”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. “Even without a falling-out, we are not close. It doesn’t matter.”

Tang Beibei’s heart ached. She knew how sad it felt to be neglected by her father since she was a child.

“We’re married, so I’m your family. I’ll be good to you from now on!”

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “Family?”

“Yeah. Didn’t you say at the Jiang residence that I’m your family?”

“In that case, please take care of me, my family.”

Tang Beibei laughed. “No problem, no problem. Hubby, please take care of me too.”

As she said this, she wanted to get up but was stopped by the man.

She looked at him in confusion and said, “I’m heavy. It’s not good for me to sit on your lap.”

Jiang Jingchen wrapped his arms around her. “You’re my family. Of course, you are weighty in my heart but I can take it.”

“But…”

“Didn’t you say that you’ll be good to me? Can’t you let me hold you?” Jiang Jingchen asked.

“…”

…

When Song Zhou came back from grocery shopping, he poked his head into the living room to check if the coast was clear. The living room was calm, and it wasn’t overflowing with cold air.

He felt relatively safe and carefully walked in.

When he was in the living room, he heard sounds from the kitchen. It was Tang Beibei and the young master washing vegetables. They were talking and laughing. Obviously, the storm was over.

He heaved a sigh of relief. When he was out grocery shopping, he couldn’t stop worrying about how the young master’s foul mood would turn into his torment.

“Young madam, I’m back with the groceries.”

“Great, let me see.”

Tang Beibei unpacked the groceries while Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows at Song Zhou from his wheelchair. Song Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. He swallowed his saliva in fear and almost ran out of the kitchen.

Tang Beibei’s six dishes today were all very appetizing. Jiang Jingchen really ate his fill. After lunch, he accompanied Tang Beibei to take a nap.

After his nap, he called Song Zhou to his study.

“I asked you to send Lu Fan away. Why is there no progress?”

Song Zhou heard his cold voice and a chill ran down his spine. “I’ve already spoken to the Lu family and tried to get him to leave the country, but Lu Fan refused.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled then asked, “Lu Fan said that my wife is his girlfriend. How’s that investigation going?”

“Someone did post a few comments about young madam on social media. There’s a woman who has a crush on Lu Fan. Her name is Yuan Jiaojiao. She’s in the same year as Lu Fan, from the faculty of foreign languages.”

Song Zhou handed him the investigation report and told him what he had found.

“When I checked further, the account that was used to post those nasty comments had been deleted. It’s obvious that the culprit was afraid of being found out. Also, the person who said that Lu Fan and the young madam are a couple was Song Kai.”

“Who is that?”

Song Zhou cleared his throat and continued, “This Song Kai is not someone you know. He’s the young master of the second branch of the Song family. And the Song family is Jiang Minglang’s mother’s family of origin. Song Kai and Jiang Minglang are cousins.”

Jiang Jingchen snorted. So, Jiang Minglang used Song Kai to force him to divorce Tang Beibei. His wife was too innocent to know that she had been set up.

“Since Jiang Minglang is so concerned about his reputation. Let’s do something about his reputation.”

Song Zhou nodded. “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.”

Jiang Jingchen looked at him indifferently and asked, “Do you have any way to make Lu Fan stay away from my wife?”

“… I’m afraid we’ll have to work in parallel. I’ll work on Lu Fan while you remind the young madam not to let any man get too friendly with her.” Song Zhou answered honestly.

When it came to love, it wasn’t as if sending the love rival away would prevent one’s wife from cheating!

“My wife has told me that she likes me!”

Jiang Jingchen touched his lips when he said that, as if he could still taste the woman.

She was probably more delicious than the appetizing dishes they had for lunch.

Song Zhou’s mouth twitched when he saw the young master’s naughty smile.

If he guessed right, the young master was showing off his love!

Tsk, the only person who could make the young master so angry that he wanted to kill someone, and then as if he was walking on air was Tang Beibei!

“Then I’d better make something happen to Lu Fan, so he’d stay away from young madam!”
