Tang Beibeiâs cheeks were still hot when she was having breakfast.
She stole a glance at the man and met his eyes. She looked away shyly.
âBeibei, are you angry?â
Tang Beibei shook her head innocently. She was not angry, but he kissed her⦠She couldnât breathe, and it felt very strange.
She had never been in love and did not know how to behave with her husband.
However, she was still quite happy to be able to say good morning to him early in the morning.
âNo, Iâm not.â
Jiang Jingchen saw that she still had her head down and was worried that he had scared her by acting too abruptly.
âBeibei, I am a little grumpy when I wake up. I was woken up so I was a little angry. Iâm sorry if Iâve been inconsiderate.â
âSorry, I was the inconsiderate one.â Tang Beibei quickly apologized and continued, âBut I wanted to get up earlier to take you out for some exercise.â
It wasnât good for a disabled man like him to exercise outside, Jiang Jingchen thought to himself. If there was another way, he wouldnât mind trying.
âSure, letâs set an alarm.â
It wasnât too much for him to ask for some benefits before the alarm went off, right?
Since he agreed so readily, Tang Beibei stopped feeling shy and thought about how she could make the patient cooperate so that he could recover from his illness.
After breakfast, Tang Beibei went upstairs to change and get ready for school.
She was wearing a simple t-shirt with black palazzo pants. She looked fashionable and youthful.
Jiang Jingchen rolled himself up to her. âBeibei, choose something for me to match your outfit.â
âAlright, Iâll help you choose.â
Tang Beibei was slightly excited at the thought of them wearing couple outfits.
She chose a shirt in the same color and black suit pants for him. She looked at him after placing the clothes on the bed.
âHubby, let me help you change your pants.â
She was his wife, and she wanted to try to help him change his clothes.
Although the process would be a little âtorturousâ, but she couldnât always rely on Song Zhou. Besides, she wanted to see his leg injuries so she could find relevant information to help him.
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. âYou want to help me?â
Didnât she avoid that before?
âOf course. Iâm your wife and I can do it!â
Her expression was serious, and her eyes were crystal clear as she looked at him.
Jiang Jingchen felt like she was psyching herself up, which was rather cute.
âAlright, Iâll let you try.â
Tang Beibei took a deep breath, but the man took the pants from her and threw them on his lap.
âBeibei, you donât need to do this. Go pack your bag and call Song Zhou over.â
Her cold little hands moving all over⦠How could he control himself?
âHubby, I can do it.â
âI know you can, Beibei. But you are my wife, not my nanny.â
Tang Beibei thought about the manâs leg injury and lack of strength, so he must be very fragile inside. If she persisted, she could hurt his pride.
âOkay, Iâll get Song Zhou.â
After the woman left, Jiang Jingchen also let out a breath of hot air. The self-control he was so proud of didnât seem to work in front of her.
Jiang Jingchen laughed bitterly. He thought he could tease her, but he landed himself in hot soup.
Downstairs, Tang Beibei waited for a while with her school bag on her back. When she heard the elevator stop, she turned around and saw Song Zhou push Jiang Jingchen out.
She smiled and ran up to the wheelchair to tidy his shirt.
âHubby, you look very peppy in this shirt.â She complimented.
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. Her words sounded nice. âBeibei, you look beautiful dressed like that.â
Tang Beibei was caught off guard by the compliment. She was embarrassed. She let go of his shirt, turned around, and walked away.
Although her husband was a cripple who couldnât have sex and might not have long to live, his words always made her heartbeat accelerate.
Tang Beibei went to the school. When the car stopped outside the school gate, she got out and waved at Jiang Jingchen.
âIâm going now. Bye, hubby.â
Jiang Jingchen rolled down the window and said, âItâd be great if Beibei gave me a kiss before going.â
Tang Beibei blushed and turned to leave.
âBeibei, I can understand if you donât want to be intimate with me. Iâm disabled, and I look so ugly. It wonât be good if your classmates see us.â
The manâs tone was as aggrieved and pitiful as it could be.
How could Tang Beibei listen to his self-pity? If she didnât kiss him and he felt sad and inferior, she wouldnât feel good either.
She turned around and walked back to the car. She lowered her head through the open car window. She held his face with both hands and gave him a peck on the cheek.
âI donât despise you, and Iâm not afraid of being seen. Iâm just shy.â
Jiang Jingchen got what he wanted, but he still feigned aggrievement. âBeibei, when husband and wife kiss, they donât give each other pecks on the cheek. They must kiss on the lips.â
Song Zhouâs mouth twitched in the driverâs seat.
Aloof and unapproachable. Where was his 29-years-old-but-still not interested in women character?
Young master, your integrity was all over the floor just so you could get a kiss from this woman!
But there was a silly and cute woman who fell for this manâs dirty tricks. Tang Beibei lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.
Song Zhou facepalmed himself. He couldnât watch this anymore!
After being kissed by the woman, Jiang Jingchen cupped her face and kissed her back. He even said, âCourtesy demands reciprocity.â
Jiang Jingchen restrained himself and let the woman go. He reminisced about the womanâs taste, tugged at his shirt, and asked Song Zhou, âWhat do you think of my shirt?â
Song Zhou glanced in the rearview mirror. âYes, it looks nice.â
He had a good figure and was a walking clothes hanger. This shirt looked better on him than the models on the runway.
Jiang Jingchen smiled. âMy wife picked this out for me. You canât be envious.â
Indeed, he could not be envious. Song Zhou chuckled in his heart.
However, seeing that his young master was in a good mood, he was quite happy for him.
In the past, the young master would devote himself to work all year round. When he went to work, he almost always stayed in the office. He wore only custom-made suits. Now, he did not bother with the cost of his time and wore a casual outfit just to send a woman to school.
This was something he couldnât even imagine in the past.
âYoung master, you have a meeting at 9:30.â
âGo back and get my wifeâs class schedule. Donât arrange any meetings for me when she doesnât have classes.â Jiang Jingchen said coldly, as if the gentleness he had just shown was nothing but an illusion.
â⦠Yes, young master.â
Song Zhou was surprised. The young master was going to reschedule his routine morning meetings just to match Tang Beibeiâs schedule.
What else would the young master do for Tang Beibei?
Song Zhou did not dare to think about it. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
âLook at the time, Iâm going to pick my wife up from school.â Jiang Jingchen said.
Song Zhou calculated the time taken for the back-and-forth trips and felt his heart ache. Every minute of the young masterâs time was worth a lot of money!
Jiang Jingchen, who was still in a good mood, went to pick Tang Beibei up from school. However, he didnât expect to see such a glaring scene.
It was Tang Beibei and another man hugging and cuddling!
