Song Kai suppressed his jealousy and anger in front of Tang Beibei.
He asked softly, â1 heard from Ruan Qi that you were injured. Was it Lu Linlin who hurt you?â
âYeah, I was surprised too.â
Who would have thought that Lu Linlin would be so vicious and hurt her just because she didnât like her?
She looked at Song Kai and tried to dissuade him, âSenior Song Kai, I didnât ask you about your engagement last time, but Iâd like to know. Is the woman youâre getting engaged to Lu Linlin?â
There was no reply.
Song Kaiâs handsome face darkened as he nodded yes.
Tang Beibei frowned. âLogically speaking, itâs really your choice who you want to be engaged to, but 1 think weâre friends. Senior Song Kai, youâre very outstanding. There must be an honest and kind girl out there who loves you. Lu Linlin doesnât deserve you.â
Song Kai looked at her. The girl he wanted was her.
âI know what you mean, thank you.â
Tang Beibei scratched her head. âSenior Song Kai, thank you for coming to see me. Iâm fine.â
Song Kai looked at the bruises on her face. What a silly girl! She could still smile so adorably despite her injuries. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His gaze then fell on the arm around her waist. A sharp, murderous glint flashed across his eyes.
âBeibei, are you and your husband usually this close?â
âYes, Iâm recuperating in the hospital and heâs been with me the whole time.
We just sleep here at night, so we didnât arrange another bed.â
Song Kai did not say anything.
He took a deep breath. He was so angry that his stomach hurt.
But when he saw the bruises on her face, he said, âDonât worry about Lu Linlin. What goes around comes around. Her retribution is waiting for her around the corner.â
Tang Beibei thought for a while and said, âI get that but I canât think of a way to punish Lu Linlin. Sigh, Iâm too weak.â
If she was capable, she would not be bullied.
Song Kai was amused by her silly look and flicked her forehead. âBeibei, no, youâre not weak at all. Itâs just that some people are very jealous of you.â
Tang Beibei was puzzled. âJealous of me? Whatâs there to be jealous about? Iâm average looking and average in my studies. I have no family background to talk about.â
Tang Beibei felt inferior when it came to her qualities. How could people be jealous of her?
Song Kai chuckled and shook his head. âNo, Beibei, youâ¦â
âBeibei, who is it?â
It seemed that they had woken Jiang Jingchen. He tightened his arm around Tang Beibeiâs slender waist and got up slowly. He turned his head and kissed her on the cheek.
Tang Beibei wasnât aware of the manâs scheme and connivance. She explained, âSenior Song Kai came to see me. Hubby, did I wake you?â
Leaning on Tang Beibeiâs shoulder, Jiang Jingchen pretended to yawn. He opened one eye and glanced at Song Kai. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
âYes, sorry to disturb you. Iâm still not awake.â
Tang Beibei covered her mouth and spoke even softer. She apologized to Song Kai, âIâm so sorry. My husband is also recuperating, so I canât talk to you while heâs taking a nap.â
Song Kai could tell that Jiang Jingchen was putting up an act. He just didnât want him to be in contact with Tang Beibei.
They were both wily old foxes. How could they not tell what the other fox was up to?
Song Kai laughed coldly in his heart. This useless cripple was quite sly.
Song Kai got up, said goodbye to Tang Beibei, and left.
After he left and the door closed, Jiang Jingchen got up, pushed away Tang Beibeiâs bangs, and kissed her forehead a few times.
Song Kaiâs dirty hand had touched her there.
Tang Beibei looked at him in confusion. âHubby, whatâs wrong?â
Jiang Jingchen cupped her face and said, âI had a nightmare just now when I was sleeping. I dreamed that you were snatched away by someone else.â
Tang Beibei was between laughter and tears. She patted his shoulder to comfort him. âNo one is going to snatch me away. Itâs just a nightmare.â
Jiang Jingchen said, âThen kiss me.â
Tang Beibei felt like she was coaxing a child, so she kissed him on the lips.
Jiang Jingchen shook his head. âNot enough. That didnât even feel sincere.â
Tang Beibei kissed him again. She pressed her lips against his longer this time. She was going to ask him if that was enough when the man grabbed the back of her neck and took over the kissing. She could only comply.
After that, the man placed her on the bed. He moved his hands down her body. Tang Beibei looked at him nervously.
âHubby, donât. Weâre in the hospital.â
âCanât we be intimate in a hospital? Weâre husband and wife, and my legs havenât fully recovered yet. I canât have sex. Canât you give me some comfort by cooperating with me?â
The man sounded very aggrieved. He pressed his lips against hers and reached into her clothes.
Tang Beibei blushed and looked outside the ward shyly. âItâs not that I canât cooperate. Itâs just that the door isnât locked. Iâm afraid that the doctor will walk in on us.â
âWho would come in, unlessâ¦â
Before Jiang Jingchen could finish, there was a knock on the door. Someone was coming in.
Tang Beibei pushed the man under the blanket almost by instinct and covered him with it.
âWho is it? Come in.â
âItâs me.â
It was Song Kai, who had left and returned.
Tang Beibei was surprised. She pulled the blanket up and hid the man well before asking, âSenior Song Kai, whatâs the matter?â
âOh, 1 thought youâll be bored in the hospital, so I bought some snacks and wanted to give you some. These cakes taste good.â
Tang Beibei saw him carrying a big bag of snacks and felt grateful. âThank you, Senior Song Kai.â
At this moment, the man under the blanket was touching her⦠She felt a little itchy and tingly, but she was too embarrassed to let Song Kai find out. She was extremely nervous.
âWhereâs your husband?â
âHe⦠he⦠is asleep.â Tang Beibei felt a headache coming on when she saw the man moving under the blanket.
âThen I wonât disturb you anymore. Beibei, get well soon.â
Actually, he came back to say this.
He hoped that she would get well as soon as possible.
Tang Beibei was someone who gave him a little warmth, and he was grateful.
âYes, Iâll be well soon. Senior Song Kai, goodbye.â
When the man closed the door again, she heaved a sigh of relief. After enduring for a while to make sure that Song Kai didnât come back, she lifted the blanket and glared at the man angrily.
âJiang Jingchen, you⦠you did that on purpose!â
Jiang Jingchen gave her a big smile and rested his hand on her lap as he slowly sat up.
âYes, on purpose. Iâm just reminding you that you already have me as your husband, so donât look at other men.â
Tang Beibei laughed in frustration. She explained seriously with a long face, âI think itâs polite to look at people when I talk to them. Besides, Senior Song Kai and I have the same teacher and we are friends. Heâs like an older brother to me.â
Jiang Jingchen was unhappy when he heard that she valued Song Kai so much. He nudged closer to Tang Beibei, lifted her chin, and kissed her.
âI can also be your friend and your older brother.â
Tang Beibei laughed in amusement before she replied with a bright smile, âYouâre my boyfriend and a family member whoâs even closer to me than an older brother.â
Jiang Jingchen was instantly comforted. He gently stroked her face and said in a low voice, âBeibei, 1 want to be a real man to you..â
