Chapter 39

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At night after Tang Beibei finished her homework, she put the cap on her pen and turned her head. She saw her husband holding a book on philosophy.

How could he be so engrossed in such a boring book?

Only her husband!

“Hubby, it’s getting late, shall we go to bed?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Jingchen had been waiting for her to say that.

He put down the book. In fact, it was a book titled “36 Stratagems of Love” wrapped with a philosophy book cover. He put the book back on the bookshelf.

After they finished washing up, Jiang Jingchen wheeled himself to his side of the bed and looked at the woman lying under the blanket.

“Beibei, today you told me for the first time that you like me. Don’t we need some kind of new ritual before we go to sleep?”

“What kind of ritual?”

Tang Beibei looked at him, who was still in his wheelchair. She thought for a moment, got out of bed and walked to his side. “How about if I help you to bed?”

“Okay.”

Usually, he would support himself using his arms as he transferred himself from the wheelchair to the bed. If she wanted to help him, he would of course look forward to it.

When the woman held him up with his arm over her shoulder, the corners of his mouth curled up into a devilish smile, and he fell into bed with her.

“Beibei, am I crushing you?”

Tang Beibei nodded her head vigorously. He was really heavy!

“I don’t have any strength in my legs, what should I do?” He even had an aggrieved expression on his face.

“Call, call Song Zhou over to help!”

Tang Beibei frowned and tried to push him off her, but she didn’t have the strength.

“He’s already asleep. It’ll be too much trouble to wake him up. Beibei, kiss me. Give me a bit of strength.”

“Will kissing you work?” Tang Beibei was very doubtful.

“You can try.”

The man said it with a serious face, without looking at all like he was taking advantage of her.

Tang Beibei was still doubtful, but she kissed him. The man then revealed his fox tail and wagged it in a place where she could not see.

Then, he supported himself with his arms and slowly lightened his weight on her, but he was reluctant to let her go.

How could a hungry wolf, who had been single until the age of 29, easily let go of a delicacy that he wanted to taste?

“Hub-hubby.” The woman begged for mercy.

Only then did Jiang Jingchen rolled off her. He pulled her into his arms and sighed, “Beibei, what should I do? I just want to eat you up.”

“…”

Tang Beibei’s heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t even count it. When she heard his words, she thought that it was impossible for him to have sex with her given his condition.

She consoled him, “Hubby, you’ll get better after proper treatment.”

Jiang Jingchen teased, “When I’m better, will you do anything under the sun with me?”

“Sure. When you are better.” Tang Beibei replied generously to increase his confidence in his recovery.

Jiang Jingchen’s heart warmed. He must recover as soon as possible.

He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead before letting her go and covering her with the blanket.

Tang Beibei smiled and covered him with the blanket. She then held his hand and comforted, “Hubby, I’ll be by your side.”

“Thanks.”

This silly woman beside him was telling him that he was not alone.

“Beibei, good night.”

The woman didn’t respond. He was really envious of the speed at which she fell asleep.

He flipped open his blanket and got out of bed. When he left the bedroom, Song Zhou came over and said, “Young master, the old master wants to stop all your medical and household expenses.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “Oh, so be it.”

The two of them had a disagreement and the secret battle had already begun.

His so-called father was nothing but a joke. He would make him regret it sooner or later!

“So, what should we do next?” Song Zhou asked.

Jiang Jingchen replied, “Ask the doctors to let the word out that my condition has improved. Ask Wen Nan back to treat me.”

Wen Nan was one of Jiang Jingchen’s attending physicians.

“Alright, I’ll contact Wen Nan now.”

…

The next day, when Tang Beibei woke up, she was met with a pair of smiling eyes. Those black eyes were filled with tenderness.

“Good morning, hubby.”

“It would be even better if I got a morning kiss.”

Tang Beibei felt a little shy. She covered her face and hid under the blanket, but she smelled a fresh fragrance on his body. His pajamas were loose, and she could see his well-developed pecs.

She was curious and poked it with her finger.

Wow, so hard!

“Beibei, what are you doing?” Jiang Jingchen’s voice was hoarse.

He had been awake for a long time and wanted to wait for her to wake up so he could say good morning to her.

But this silly woman was playing with fire!

“Nothing. Hubby, let’s get up.”

Tang Beibei retracted her hand guiltily. She was too ashamed to look at him again, so she flipped open the blanket, jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

“…”

Jiang Jingchen suppressed his laughter and turned to look at the sunlight pouring in through the windows. He stretched out his hand, but it was out of reach.

However, he could hold that young and beautiful silly woman in his arms. She warmed him too.

…

It was the weekend, so Tang Beibei didn’t have school. After breakfast, she pushed Jiang Jingchen out for a walk.

“Let’s go to the supermarket first and get some groceries. I also want to buy a few potted plants to put in the villa so that there’s some greenery in the house…” She rambled on and on about their daily life.

Jiang Jingchen listened to her quietly. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her walking away, leaving him behind at one of the aisles.

Song Zhou was following them a few steps behind. He wanted to tell Tang Beibei, but was frightened by the look his young master gave him and quickly covered his mouth.

Jiang Jingchen just wanted to wait until that silly woman remembered him.

Tang Beibei was thinking about the vegetables she needed to buy. Then she had to buy fish, then some daily necessities. When she turned around… Hey, where’s her husband?

She scratched her head in confusion and ran back to the previous aisle. She saw the man in his wheelchair. Because there were people coming and going, he couldn’t wheel himself.

She quickened her pace. “Hubby, why didn’t you call me?”

“Oh, I was waiting for you to take me away.”

Tang Beibei was annoyed. “Hubby, you must call me or hold my hand.”

“Okay, give me your hand.” Jiang Jingchen had been waiting for her to say that.

Tang Beibei then walked over and gave him her hand. She took a few steps before he propelled himself forward.

He would be quite happy if she quit school and spend her days with him like this.

The beast in his heart wanted to reach out and chain this woman to his side, but his rationality stopped him.

This was the woman he wanted to protect, so he mustn’t be hasty. If he scared her away, he would lose more than he gained!

The two of them strolled back to the villa. Jiang Jingchen carried all their shopping on his lap while Tang Beibei held an umbrella.

But it wasn’t a big umbrella. Most of it covered the man in the wheelchair and half her face was red from the sun.

Jiang Jingchen’s heart ached when he saw this. “Umbrella, cover yourself. I’m a man. I don’t mind a little sunlight.”

Tang Beibei said, “But you are a patient. Hehe. I’m strong. I’ll be fine.”

When they arrived at the villa, they saw their gate wide open.

A woman in a chiffon dress was standing at their door.

“Eh? We have a guest?” Tang Beibei didn’t know this woman.

Jiang Jingchen was about to introduce her when the woman walked up to him and said to Tang Beibei, “I’m Wen Nan, Mr. Jiang’s primary care physician. How may I address you?”

“I’m Tang Beibei, Jiang Jingchen’s wife. Hello, Dr. Wen.” Tang Beibei was very respectful.

“Hello, Miss Tang.”

Wen Nan wasn’t very friendly. She didn’t call her Mrs. Jiang, but Miss Tang perfunctorily, and then proceeded to push his wheelchair.

Tang Beibei was stunned. After the two of them went in, she heard the woman scolding Jiang Jingchen.

“You’re a patient. How can you put so many things on your lap? It’s such a hot day. You’ll be sweating all over if you go out. Also, there are so many people at the supermarket and so much germs. It’s not good for you.”

“…”

Tang Beibei felt guilty. She closed the umbrella but didn’t dare to go in.
