Chapter 153: Beibei, Do You Love Me?

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

Tang Beibei took a shower and sat on the bed. The man took some medicated liniment and rubbed the bruises on her knees again.

Tang Beibei tugged at the blanket as she endured the pain.

The man finally finished. She let out a long breath, but the bruises on her knees had dispersed a lot.

She watched as he stood up freely and put the liniment away. She could not help but ask, “Hubby, when did your legs recover?”

Jiang Jingchen paused mid-action. His expression was complicated, but he did not dare to tell her the truth.

He said, “It’s in the recent month or two, and it’s in large part thanks to the things you’ve done for me.”

Tang Beibei looked at him doubtfully. “In the recent month or two?”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Jiang Jingchen turned and walked to where she was sitting. He squatted slowly and looked up at her.

In the past when he was in a wheelchair, she almost always squatted to talk to him. This was the first time he squatted to talk to her.

“Yes, in the recent month or two. Beibei, it’s not that 1 didn’t want to tell you, but 1 wanted to give you a surprise.”

“Give me a surprise?”

Tang Beibei was surprised. “But Auntie Lin and Dr. Wen both know that your legs have recovered. They even said that you didn’t tell me because you wanted to divorce me. What’s going on?”

Jiang Jingchen narrowed his cold eyes. “Auntie Lin and Wen Nan told you that my legs have recovered?”

“Yes.”

Annoyance flashed momentarily in Jiang Jingchen’s eyes. He was not a person who liked to explain his actions, but he was very patient when facing Tang Beibei’s doubts.

“Wen Nan is my attending physician, so she naturally knew. Auntie Lin is a servant here. She saw me moving around in the living room when 1 was training.”

He got up, sat beside her and held her face.

“As for divorce, Beibei, I told you that 1, Jiang Jingchen, once married will only be widowed, never divorced. Don’t you believe me?”

Tang Beibei lowered her eyes and said dejectedly, “Your legs have recovered, so I feel that I’m not worthy of you.”

“Beibei, we are married. Worthy or not, you are my wife, Jiang Jingchen’s woman and the mother of my future children. You’re the person who will accompany me through all the joys and sorrows of life.”

His voice was gentle, as if he was afraid that she would run away. He held her in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

“Silly Beibei, you’ve been in a bad mood these past few days because you found out that my legs have recovered and you’re afraid that I’ll divorce you?”

Tang Beibei felt wronged when she nodded and couldn’t help but cry.

“My parents didn’t want me when 1 was born, and no one wanted me when I was sent to live with the Rongs. No one in the world liked me. I feel that I’m the worst.”

Her emotions around abandonment dominated her life, making her afraid of having expectations on other people.

Because in the past twenty years, all her expectations had turned into disappointments and sometimes despair.

So, she was afraid, very afraid that he would not want her too. Once someone said something, she would ruminate non-stop until she spiraled down the path of pessimism. Thorns that grew along the way stabbed her until she was bleeding.

She was hurting but she didn’t dare to shout for fear of annoying him.

Jiang Jingchen listened to her and kissed her cheek with heartache.

“Silly girl, you are the best gift that the heavens have given me. How can I not want you?”

Tang Beibei snuggled in his arms and hugged him tightly.

She then said, “1 know it’s not right to rely too much on one person, but I can’t control myself. Jiang Jingchen, 1 don’t want to leave you, not at all.”

Jiang Jingchen sighed. His wife usually looked so optimistic, but deep down, she felt inferior and cold.

She would become greedy when she received a little attention and affection.

While she was greedy, she was also extremely afraid of losing attention and affection. She was extremely insecure.

“Beibei, we are tied together for life, and we can’t be separated. Don’t ever think about leaving, and neither can 1.”

Tang Beibei looked at him expectantly and said, “You’re the best person to me. Hubby, I’ll give you everything I have. I will never leave you.”

Jiang Jingchen reached out and gently pinched her nose. He was not a talkative person, but he liked talking with her.

“You can’t leave me even if you tried. You’re mine.”

“Beibei, do you love me?”

Tang Beibei blinked cautiously.

“When I’m studying, 1 always think about you. I’m very happy when I think about you. But when I thought about you divorcing me, 1 felt especially, especially sad. I felt like the whole world was about to collapse.”

“Hubby, 1 don’t know what it’s like to love someone. Sometimes, I even suspect that I don’t have the ability to love.”

When Jiang Jingchen heard her say that she thought about him all the time, he felt very happy.

“We did enter a loveless marriage. However, feelings can be cultivated, and the ability to love can also be developed.”

He pointed at his heart, like a lecturing teacher, serious and devout.

“I put you here. If you believe me, I’ll be your strongest and most powerful backing. Feel free to push yourself forward, become better and develop your ability to love.”

Tang Beibei looked at his heart and licked her lips excitedly. She reached out and touched his heart.

“You put me here. Does that mean that you have me in your heart, and you care about me?”

“Of course.”

Seeing her curious expression, Jiang Jingchen wanted to eat her up immediately since she already knew about his legs.

However, he also knew that the more precious the flower, the more care it needed.

What was it like to love someone?

He didn’t really know either.

But he wanted to leave the best and the most beautiful for her.

Tang Beibei asked again, “Did you say anything to Auntie Lin and Dr. Wen that hinted that you don’t like me? Something that made them misunderstand that you would divorce me?”

Jiang Jingchen’s face turned cold when he heard the two names.

“Beibei, is Dr. Wen and Auntie Lin more important to you, or me?”

“Of course, it’s you!”

“Since I’m more important, do you believe me or them?”

“I believe you.”

Jiang Jingchen smiled and kissed her on the lips as a reward. “Divorce is impossible, impossible in this lifetime. Other people are entitled to their own opinions. It’s none of my business.”

“Beibei, you’re beautiful and smart. I’m not stupid enough to divorce you.”

Tang Beibei looked at him and chose to believe him.

But she said, “I’m not beautiful, but I’m quite smart. Then do you mind if I’m not chubby?”

Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement. “Silly girl, it will be my fault if you aren’t gaining any weight. Why would I despise you if you weren’t chubby? If 1 do, how can 1 hug you like this?”

Tang Beibei laughed too. And then she asked, “Hubby, are you unhappy about my dancing?”

Jiang Jingchen hesitated for a few seconds. “Do you want me to tell you the truth?”

“Of course!”

“I’m not happy.”

Tang Beibei frowned. He really didn’t like her dancing.

Jiang Jingchen added, “You don’t have time to accompany me when you dance. You even got injured because of dancing. Of course, I’m not happy..”
