Tang Beibeiâs hair reached her waist. Every time she practiced dancing, her hair would get wet. If she didnât wash it for a day, it would seem to stick together.
The hairstylist asked her what hairstyle she wanted. Tang Beibei was a little lost and looked at Jiang Jingchen.
Jiang Jingchen said, âGet your artistic director to design a hairstyle for my wife.â
The hairdresser saw that the man had an imposing manner and was a rich man. He asked the artistic director to join them, and a woman came down the stairs.
âDo you prefer long or short hair?â
âLong hair.â Tang Beibei continued, âBut no permed hair, please. Curly hair is difficult to manage. Qiqi complains to me every day about her wavy hair.â
Jiang Jingchen glanced at the artistic director. What a coincidence. It was Fang Han, the young miss of the Fang family he just met in the morning.
He retracted his gaze and grabbed Tang Beibeiâs hair. âBeibei, do you want to color your hair?â
âIâve never colored my hair before. What color suits me?â Tang Beibei struggled to feed herself in the past and had no money to color her hair, so she never studied what hair color suited her.
Fang Han crossed her arms. âMiss, your face will look very beautiful with these hairstyles.â
Tang Beibei looked at the photos Fang Han showed her and was okay with all the suggestions. But Jiang Jingchen felt that they were nothing new. He didnât think his wife deserved a run-of-the-mill hairstyle.
He asked Fang Han to design something unique for his wife. Something that suited her face and personality.
His wife was unique in his heart, so the things that he gave her must be unique too.
He was never stingy when it came to problems that money could solve.
Fang Han ran a business and wouldnât let go of any opportunity to make money. She drew a few hairstyles for Jiang Jingchen to choose from. In the end, he picked a playful hairstyle with curly ends for Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was bored when she was getting her hair done, so Jiang Jingchen showed her the videos he recorded of her dancing.
There were three people performing on stage but in his video, there was only Tang Beibei.
Also, there were two of them when they were practicing, but Tang Beibei was the only person on his video.
Tang Beibei looked at him in surprise. âHubby, youâre quite good at video recording. You made me look so good.â
Jiang Jingchen laughed. âAre you complimenting me or you?â
âBoth. If I look good, I wonât embarrass you when we are out together.â
Jiang Jingchen nodded and pointed at his face. âBut Iâm so ugly. Wouldnât 1 embarrass you when we are out together?â
âNot at all. I like you even if you are ugly. If you are too good-looking, Iâll feel insecure when you are out.â
Jiang Jingchen poked at her face. âDo you have no confidence in me or in yourself?â
âBoth!â
Tang Beibei recounted honestly, âA few days ago, a junior in the School of Management confessed her love to a senior but that senior already had a girlfriend. Qiqi said that good-looking men always attracted unwanted attention from all sorts of bees and butterflies.â
âI would be so sad if you were lured away by some bee or butterfly.â
Jiang Jingchen thought to himself that no bee or butterfly would dare to approach him even if he gave them a lionâs heart.
On the other hand, his simple-minded wife, who was like a flower that bloomed too well, attracted quite a few wolves and tigers. Every one of them appeared humble and sunny on the outside, but were, in fact, dark and vicious on the inside.
âI donât like random bees or butterflies. 1 only want my silly little Beibei.â
He had used the word âwantâ cleverly.
Tang Beibeiâs cheeks were burning; she really wanted to shut him up.
The two of them were whispering and no one would hear them. Jiang Jingchen was shameless when teasing his wife.
After chatting for a while, Tang Beibei felt a little sleepy. Jiang Jingchen asked the staff to bring an eye mask and put it on for her. He also gave her a neck pillow and asked her to take a nap.
Fang Han sat at the side drinking tea and heard their conversation intermittently. At first, she sneered in her heart.
How silly of this woman to believe the manâs coaxing words.
But later, she was surprised to see the man take care of the woman so patiently.
When she saw that they were both wearing wedding rings, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Minglang wanted to find Jiang Jingchen a wife some time ago.
Could this woman be Jiang Jingchenâs wife?
They were both young masters of the Jiang family, but why was there such a huge difference?
âI didnât expect the sickly Young Master Jiang to be so good at taking care of women.â
Jiang Jingchen wasnât surprised that she recognized him. âSheâs my wife. Of course, I must take good care of her.â
Fang Han choked. She took a sip of tea and sized him up. Although he was wearing a mask, she could see his nice features.
The Jiang family had good genes.
If she hadnât been bewitched by Jiang Minglangâs appearance, she wouldnât have become his girlfriend.
âHave you never thought about repairing your face?â
âMy wife said that if Iâm too good-looking, Iâll invite unwanted attention. She feels more secure if Iâm ugly.â
Fang Hanâs mouth twitched. Who would believe that?
Just because his wife said that she felt more secure if he was ugly, was he going to be ugly forever?
âFirst Young Master, your situation isnât very good at home, huh?â
Jiang Jingchen smiled and turned his head to face her. âMiss Fang, your mood isnât very good after your breakup, huh?â
Fang Han gritted her teeth. Unable to continue chatting, she got up and went upstairs.
Jiang Jingchen turned his head and saw his wifeâs closed mouth open and felt her grab his hand. He chuckled.
He knew that she wasnât asleep and was listening to their conversation.
He whispered in her ear, âQuickly get some sleep. You should rest now because youâll be very tired when we get home.â
It took more than three hours to do her hair. Tang Beibei was still not done when she woke up. She took out a book from her bag to read.
She told Jiang Jingchen about Professor Chen. âI think Professor Chen is really good and he treats me well.â
Jiang Jingchen saw that she was holding a reading list and glanced at it. There were more than ten books on the list. It would take her a while to finish reading all the books there.
âHe treats you well because he makes you read?â
âYup. Professor Chen said that this is wisdom from our ancestors, passed to me through him. So, 1 must study hard. Moreover, whenever 1 have any questions, he always explains to me.â
Jiang Jingchen thought to himself that although his wife looked silly, she was quite perceptive.
But she wasnât as perceptive when it came to her feelings.
Otherwise, she would have been taken away by those hungry wolves.
âAnd youâll pass on what you learn. Do you want to be a doctor in future?â
Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds. âYour question made me hesitate.â
Jiang Jingchen was amused once again by her blank look. âThis is about career planning. Of course, it shouldnât affect your studies.â
Tang Beibei puffed up her cheeks. âGive me another year. If I like dancing more than my major, Iâll switch courses. If 1 still decide to become a doctor, Iâll have to study even harder.â
âDancer, doctor, both are good choices. No matter what you choose, your husband will always support you.â
âHehe, Brother Jing is so nice.â
âIt sounds nicer if you call me âoppaâ.â
Tang Beibei stood in front of the mirror and looked at her brown hair, which made her skin look fairer. She liked her hairstyle. It was easy to manage without being over the top.
It was a hairstyle she was comfortable with.
Fang Han walked over. âMrs. Jiang, let me take a photo of you and put it in my shop as a model. Iâll give you a 50% discount.â
âReally?â
âSure.â
Tang Beibei was happy to oblige when there was a discount.
After taking the photo, Fang Han looked at Jiang Jingchen and took out a gift box.
âHere are some haircare products, compliments from the shop. The final bill is 160 yuan. With the 50% discount, it only costs 80 yuan.â
Tang Beibei was about to pay when Jiang Jingchen stopped her. âBeibei, Iâm working now. I can afford this bit of money.â
Jiang Jingchen took out a card and Fang Han swiped it. The actual bill was 36,000 yuan, but when she showed the bill to Tang Beibei, it was 80 yuan.
Fang Han looked at Jiang Jingchen and smiled.
This man wanted to pamper his wife and she was happy to play along. Moreover, she was happy to witness this kind of thing. She gave them a few small gifts as tokens of appreciation.
When Tang Beibei walked out of the hair salon, she said, âItâs quite cheap to do my hair here, only 80 yuan. 1 remember that Qiqi spent more than 1,000 yuan to do her hair.â
âPlaces that Song Zhou picks for us will definitely be inexpensive.â
âThatâs true. Song Zhou really knows how to live!â
âAnd I donât?â
Jiang Jingchen was a little jealous. He thought of Song Zhouâs daily complaints about him being a spendthrift. âI know. You want to compliment me for being especially good at f*cking my Obedient Beibei.â
