Jiang Jingchen took Tang Beibei to buy new clothes. He chose an outfit and asked the sales assistant to let Tang Beibei change into it.
Tang Beibei was worried that it would be too expensive, so she asked Jiang Jingchen if they should buy something from a smaller shop.
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Zhou, who immediately said, “Young Madam, the clothes here are on sale. That’s why 1 brought you here. They’re very cheap. It’s only about 200 yuan a set.”
“Really?” Tang Beibei had her doubts. She had never studied branded goods, so she wasn’t familiar with the price range.
“Of course. I’m an expert at saving money. 1 buy my own clothes only when they are on sale.”
Tang Beibei gave Song Zhou a thumbs up. “Song Zhou, you’re meticulous and you are an expert at saving money. Amazing.”
“No, no. You are too nice.”
Song Zhou smiled and quickly gave her the new outfit. When she was changing, he paid for the clothes and even asked the staff to fake a receipt.
Tang Beibei changed into her new clothes and twirled in front of the mirror. “It’s really nice. My husband has good taste.”
Jiang Jingchen saw that she had changed into new clothes and held her hand. “It’s my Beibei who is beautiful. She looks good in anything.”
Tang Beibei blushed and grinned as she secretly kissed him.
Jiang Jingchen was a sucker for her sudden attacks. He was always surprised, and he wanted more.
Tang Beibei stole a glance at the man. His expression was calm. She could not tell how he was feeling and bit her lip.
Did he not like it?
“Beibei, there are some wrinkles at the back of your dress. Stoop a little and I’ll help you smoothen them out.”
“Oh, okay.” Tang Beibei squatted obediently.
The man’s hand tugged at her dress from behind, but he suddenly lowered his head. His cheeks brushed against hers and his thin lips brushed against the tip of her ear. Tang Beibei shivered and looked at him in confusion.
His face was very close to hers and he kissed her lips.
Although they had kissed many times, her mind still went blank. Her heart was beating wildly, and she didn’t know how to react.
When the man let go of her, he reached out and tapped her nose gently.
“Beibei, hello. Earth to Beibei.”
“All, okay. Are you done?”
She stood up quickly and pretended to be calm. Standing in front of the mirror, she realized that the woman in the mirror was blushing. She was so embarrassed that she covered her face.
The sales assistants at the shop were a little scared when they saw the man with scars on his face.
However, when he kissed the woman, not only was she not afraid, but she also looked shy. All of them stared at the two of them in surprise.
It must be because this man was wealthy. Otherwise, such a beautiful woman wouldn’t be with him.
Nowadays, some women would do anything for money. They had no moral compasses.
Tang Beibei ignored everyone’s gazes and turned to get her old clothes. Song Zhou was quick and picked them up for her.
“Young Madam, I’ll help you bring them back for laundry.”
Tang Beibei thanked him with a smile and pushed Jiang Jingchen out of the mall. She suddenly remembered something and asked Song Zhou.
“Song Zhou, where did you get the thermos you bought for me last time? My friend Ruan Qi wants one too.”
Song Zhou choked. That thermos was from a luxury brand and was engraved with Tang Beibei’s name. It was not cheap. He was afraid that Tang Beibei wouldn’t accept it, so he said that it was a 20-yuan thermos.
“I’ll go to the shop and ask if they have stock. 1 guess not because inexpensive things sell out very quickly.”
“Oh, that’s a pity.” Tang Beibei sighed.
Jiang Jingchen held her hand and asked her, “Today when Butler Pan offered you 20 million yuan, were you tempted?”
With her hand on her heart, Tang Beibei whispered, “I was tempted. 20 million is a lot of money.”
Jiang Jingchen was speechless.
Tang Beibei added, “But I would never take it because my husband is priceless to me. I’ve also promised you that I will not divorce you.”
Jiang Jingchen’s mood turned sunny, and he smiled. “Yes, you did promise me. You must hold your ground at all times and not sell me for money, okay?”
Tang Beibei puffed out her cheeks unhappily. “I will never. 1 have strong principles, okay?”
Jiang Jingchen poked at her tiny face, his heart melting.
To his wife, he was priceless.
Lu Fan must have coveted his wife therefore was pestering her.
This kid was asking for a beating!
Tang Beibei had classes in the afternoon, so Jiang Jingchen gave her an umbrella before going home.
When they arrived at the villa, Jiang Jingchen ordered Song Zhou to throw away Tang Beibei’s coffee-stained clothes.
“Yes.”
Song Zhou knew that his young master wouldn’t keep this set of clothes.
He then said, “Send the video to Old Master Lu and ask him how he would deal with his grandson who’s coveting another man’s wife. If he doesn’t deal with him, I will, and he mustn’t regret it!”
Song Zhou knew that his young master was really angry, so he quickly nodded.
“Also, find out who sent you the video. This person must have been watching my wife and even knew to send the video to you.”
“It’s a disaster if such a person hangs around my wife!”
“Yes.” Song Zhou nodded.
Jiang Jingchen suddenly touched his lips, as if he could still taste Tang Beibei. He said, “Go and buy her another batch of new clothes, shoes, and accessories. Oh right, jewelry too. Total budget 20 million yuan.”
“… Will do.”
Tang Beibei spent her days counting every cent. If she found out that the young master was spending so extravagantly, she would definitely scold him for being a prodigal.
At school…
After Tang Beibei saw Jiang Jingchen off, she turned to walk back to the classroom with her umbrella. She immediately saw Song Kai waving at her from under a big tree.
A gust of wind blew past, stirring the leaves on the trees and sending them fluttering to the ground. Tang Beibei wriggled her shoulders.
It was already windy. It might really rain in the afternoon.
She suddenly turned and ran out of school.
Song Kai frowned when he saw Tang Beibei running away as soon as she saw him. He quickly ran after her.
“Beibei, my dear Junior Beibei, why are you running away? I’m not going to eat you!”
Tang Beibei panted as she arrived at the bubble tea shop. She ordered two cups of milk tea and paid for them before turning to face Song Kai.
“You treated me to lunch. 1 would like to buy you a milk tea.”
Song Kai was stunned. He didn’t expect her to be so anxious about such a small matter. “Tang Beibei, 1,1 saw you with your husband just now. Do you like him?”
Song Kai had been following Tang Beibei. He wanted to beat Jiang Jingchen to death when he saw them leave the cafe and went to a restaurant, when he saw Jiang Jingchen kiss her…
Tang Beibei thought of her husband and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I do.”
Song Kai was quiet as he clenched his fists. His expression was gloomy when he asked, “Why do you like him? He…”
“He’s not good-looking, and he’s a cripple. I know you are going to say that, but it doesn’t matter. The person 1 like, 1 don’t care about his appearance or if he’s especially powerful. 1 just want him to accompany me. That’s enough.”
Tang Beibei had lived with the Rongs since young and she had been bullied.
Her idea of happiness was very simple. She wanted a man who would always be by her side.
Now that Jiang Jingchen was in rehabilitation, she believed that when he recovered, they would live like a normal couple.
Song Kai chuckled and mocked Tang Beibei, “Junior Beibei indeed has simple pursuits.”
“Yeah. Contentment is bliss.” Tang Beibei nodded with a smile.
Song Kai was speechless.
Tang Beibei asked the shopkeeper to give her a pen and a piece of paper. She lowered her head and wrote a few sentences. The milk teas she ordered were also ready.
She took two cups of milk tea and handed one to Song Kai. “Senior Song Kai, this milk tea is yours. As for the other one, can you help me bring it to Senior Lu Fan? Consider it my apology to him.”
“Apology?” Song Kai was puzzled.
Tang Beibei felt guilty about slapping Lu Fan in the library. She thought that she would be following Professor Chen and would see Lu Fan often, so she wanted to buy him a milk tea as apology.
“Just pass him the milk tea. I’ve already written my apology here.” Tang Beibei pointed at the note in the plastic carrier.
“… Sure.”
Song Kai took over both cups of milk tea.
Tang Beibei made an appreciative gesture with her palms and said gratefully, “Senior Song Kai, thank you. I’m going to class now.”contemporary romance
Song Kai watched as she ran away, her ponytail swaying. He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
He couldn’t understand how Jiang Jingchen, a cripple, could win Tang Beibei’s heart over him and Lu Fan, who were both better.
He simply couldn’t accept it!
