Tang Beibei held the dinner the man brought her but she had no appetite at all.
After two mouthfuls, she felt bitterness in her mouth and her eyes were burning.
Ruan Qi saw that she was about to cry and asked worriedly, âBeibei, whatâs wrong? It doesnât look like you had a fight with your husband.â
Tang Beibei shook her head. âNo, we didnât have a fight. There are just some things I canât figure out.â
âWhat things? Tell me. Maybe I can help you figure it out?â
âMy husbandâs legs have recovered.â
Ruan Qi was surprised and happy for her.
âOh my god, thatâs a good thing, isnât it? Havenât you been looking forward to his legs recovering?â
Tang Beibei sighed. âYes, Iâve been looking forward to his recovery. But he didnât tell me about it while everyone else at home knew.â
âOne of them even told me that he doesnât want a long-term relationship with me and heâs going to divorce me.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ruan Qi frowned. Jiang Jingchenâs legs had already recovered, but he still let Beibei spend the effort to help him. That was too much!
âJiang Jingchen lied to you. Is he a bastard? And youâve put in so much effort to help him recover!â
Tang Beibei let out a long breath. She felt very sad.
âBeibei, youâre upset. Is it because you are in love with Jiang Jingchen and donât want a divorce?â Ruan Qi asked.
Tang Beibei lowered her eyes and nodded yes. She touched her heart with one hand.
âI donât want a divorce, but 1 donât want to pester him and make him hate me.â
Ruan Qi scratched her head in confusion.
âJiang Jingchen treats you very well. He doesnât seem to want to divorce you.â
He bought her custom-made skincare, custom-made clothes, and took care of every aspect of her life. All this showed that he cared about her. Why would he suddenly want a divorce?
Tang Beibei thought so too, but she said, âJust because he treats me well doesnât mean that he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me.â
Ruan Qi patted her shoulder to comfort her. âI suggest you have a good chat with your husband. After all, divorce is no joke. Itâs not good for you to feel sad alone like this.â
Tang Beibei bit her lip. After a long pause, she said, âI donât dare to bring it up. Iâm afraid that heâll really divorce me. Iâll have no way to turn things around then. So, 1 just want to pretend that I donât know. Iâll pretend for as long as I can.â
âBut youâll suffer.â
âIâll suffer even more if he divorced me.â
Ruan Qi frowned and felt bad for her.
Tang Beibei took a deep breath. She was an optimistic person, but she had been depressed because of this supposed lie. It was not right.
She resolved in her heart and said, âIâve thought it through. 1â11 cherish the present and treat my time with him as the last day. When the day of the divorce comes, Iâll cry my heart out and everything will pass!â
â⦠Thatâs not a bad idea but itâs very dangerous. However, if you really got divorced, donât let him off easy. You must get some of his assets!â
Tang Beibei didnât want any of Jiang Jingchenâs assets. She had no right to take away what belonged to him.
She wasnât too confident in herself but she knew her limits.
After making this resolution, she was in a much better mood. She immediately called Jiang Jingchen and said that she was ready to go home.
Outside the dance studio in the car, Song Zhou watched Jiang Jingchen hang up the phone and asked him in confusion, âYoung Master, Young Madam has been in a bad mood today and has been ignoring you. Did something happen?â
Jiang Jingchen was also thinking about the same problem, but he couldnât come up with a solution.
Trying to understand a woman was like trying to unravel a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
âMaybe because her period is coming. So, itâs understandable that sheâs moody. 1â11 just give in to her more over the next few days.â
Song Zhou looked at him strangely. Didnât the young master give in to her all the time?
He would buy her whatever she liked. For her, he would abandon work and keep her company while she danced. For her, he would even learn about dance.
He was already spoiling her rotten!
Wasnât he afraid of spoiling her so much that she would do evil?
At this moment, Jiang Jingchenâs phone rang.
He saw that it was a call from his wife. The corners of his mouth curled up as he answered the call.
âBeibei, whatâs up?â
âHubby, Iâm ready to go home. Can you pick me up?â
âIâm outside the dance studio. Come out.â
âOh, you are still here?â
Tang Beibei was surprised. She didnât expect him to wait for her outside the dance studio. âWait for me then. 1â11 be quick.â
When Jiang Jingchen heard the woman hang up the phone, his black eyes were soft, and his smile reflected the joy he felt.
He said to Song Zhou, âPeople say that women are strange creatures but 1 donât think so. Although my Beibei is sometimes very silly, she has me in her heart and consider my needs in her every action.â
âSo, sheâs sometimes moody. I just have to dote on her, give in to her more and sheâll be fine in a few days.â
Song Zhou, who was single, had never studied women before. However, when he heard his young master flaunting his skills, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
The car door opened. The woman was panting and red-cheeked as she got into the car. âIâm really sorry for letting you bring me dinner and then wait for me.â
Jiang Jingchen reached out tentatively to touch her head. The woman didnât resist but her body turned stiff. He frowned slightly but didnât show it as he withdrew his hand.
He just replied calmly, âItâs alright. You are busy with training, and Iâm happy to do it. Iâm just an idle patient recuperating from my illness. My time is not valuable.â
Song Zhou glanced at him from the rearview mirror. The young master did not even blink when he was lying. Song Zhou had finally witnessed the acting skills of a best actor.
Sigh, all the worldâs a stage. If one acted well, one could trick oneâs wife.
Tang Beibei heard Jiang Jingchen refer to himself as a patient and looked at his legs. She had no words.
However, she still couldnât help but feel sad. Once trust was broken, many things would be difficult to maintain.
After they got home, Tang Beibei sat on the sofa for a while before going up to her dance studio.
Wen Nan walked out of her room and asked her with a smile, âBeibei, has Mr. Chen told you about the recovery of his legs?â
Tang Beibei shook her head and forced a smile. âHe probably doesnât want to tell me now because he has other concerns. Iâll wait for him to tell me.â
Seeing that Tang Beibei could still smile, Wen Nan sneered in her heart. How was she happy when she was being played? She must be after Jiang Jingchenâs wealth.
After all, she was an illegitimate daughter from an ordinary family. She had never had such a good life before.
Wen Nan continued to probe, âBeibei, has Mr. Chen told you about the divorce?â
Her words were like knives, stabbing Tang Beibeiâs body repeatedly. There was no blood, but it was so painful that she couldnât cry out.
âNot yet.â
Wen Nan smiled and said, âMr. Chen has said during his recuperation that he likes chubby women because they look prosperous. Do you understand why Mr. Chen gave you so much snacks? He just wanted to fatten you up.â
âBut thereâs still no effect after so long. Will Mr. Chen be disappointed?â
Wen Nan watched Tang Beibeiâs expression and could not help but want to laugh.
She couldnât be blamed for being ruthless. Tang Beibei was too stupid. Even if she didnât tease her, she would still be mocked by other women in Mr. Chenâs life.
Wen Nan continued, âBeibei, is your elder sister, Rong Meiâer, very fat? Sigh, itâs too bad that sheâs not pretty.â
âBeibei is very pretty, but Mr. Chen doesnât like women showing their faces in public. Beibei, since youâve joined a dance troupe, you should be more careful when you dance in public, or people may think that youâre indecent.â
Tang Beibei frowned slightly. âBut my husband supports my dancing.â
Wen Nan sighed. âMen are very possessive of the women they care about. If itâs a woman they donât care about, they wonât care about what she wants to do.â
âMr. Chenâs support for you may very well mean that he doesnât care about you. Beibei, please donât be angry.â
âYou and Mr. Chen didnât get married because of love in the first place. He treats you well because he is a good person, so you donât have to care too much about your relationship..â
