Chapter 254 - 254: Don’t Play With Your Phone, Play With Me

The crowd dispersed after the New Year’s Eve party ended.

Ruan Qi ran over and waved her phone at Tang Beibei as she said, “Beibei, Beibei, look, our dance video has gotten more than ten million views. Our fanbase has also grown by a lot!”

Tang Beibei clicked into their account to check. The number of followers had gone up by more than 500,000 in just a few hours. She was very surprised.

“It means that everyone likes this particular image of ours.”

In their past videos, they danced without makeup and wore their everyday clothes. There was nothing special about them compared to their latest video. Their styling and costumes had won them a lot of points.

“Beibei, the video of us and Fu Jin also garnered a very high number of views. Seems that Fu Jin is also an internet celebrity.”

However, Fu Jin had always worn a mask in his earlier videos. He didn’t wear a mark in this video, and he attracted many more fans.

Tang Beibei didn’t dare to read the comments, but she was happy to see their fanbase grow. She discussed with Ruan Qi about posting something new soon.

The two of them discussed excitedly for a while before Ruan Qi asked how Tang Beibei was going to spend the three days of New Year holidays. Should they dance or revise their studies?

Ruan Qi gritted her teeth when she spoke about revision. She was full of reluctance as if she was forced to go to the battlefield.

Ruan Qi wanted to do both but before she said it, Jiang Jingchen said, “It’s rare that you have a three-day break. Beibei, let me take you out on a trip.”

“A trip?”

“I’ll take you to a hot spring, okay? You’re tired from dance practices, and you’re under a lot of pressure from studying. Just rest and relax for a few days.” Jiang Jingchen persuaded.

Tang Beibei thought that they rarely spent holidays together, so she didn’t refuse. “Sure. Qiqi, come with us?”

“Nah, you guys go ahead. I don’t want to be a third wheel.”

“You won’t. Song Zhou is going too.”

Ruan Qi said with disdain, “I have nothing to do with him.”

Jiang Jingchen said, “You can bring your boyfriend along. People said that travelling together would allow the couple to see each other’s true selves. Consider it an extended date.”

Song Zhou looked at Jiang Jingchen to make sure that he wasn’t kidding.

Let Ruan Qi bring her boyfriend on a trip with them?

Haha.

Jiang Jingchen gave him a “calm down” look.

He then put his hand on Tang Beibei’s shoulder, which made her look at him in confusion. When their eyes met, Tang Beibei seemed to understand something.

She held Ruan Qi’s arm and persuaded, “Qiqi, just ask your boyfriend to come along. If you two are happy together, we’ll give you our blessings.”

“Then I’ll go ask Senior Zhu Fan. I’ll let you know later.”

After Ruan Qi left, Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen in confusion and asked, “Why did you ask her to bring her boyfriend along?”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled and looked at Song Zhou as he lied through his teeth. “Of course, it’s because 1 hope that Ruan Qi has found a man who loves her truly. If she’s happy, you’ll be in a good mood too.”

“Wow, hubby, you’re too nice.” Tang Beibei was extremely touched.

Jiang Jingchen patted her head before he turned his and whispered to Song Zhou, “She’s already letting us meet her boyfriend. Use your brain, make them break up and then pursue her.”

“If you can’t even handle a university student, you can forget about dating altogether. You useless bugger!”

“…” Song Zhou looked at him in shock.

When it came to being two-faced, very few people could beat his young master.

“Hey, you guys are going on a trip? Where are you going? Can 1 come too?” Fang Han suddenly appeared.

Song Zhou laughed. “Miss Fang, we’re not that close, are we?”

“Don’t say that. We are not close but Mrs. Jiang is quite close to Fu Jin. Mrs.

Jiang, do me a favor and ask Fu Jin out?”

Fang Han seemed to have noticed something between the two. Even her eyes looked like they were sizing up Tang Beibei.

“All, that’s a bit tough.” Tang Beibei looked at Fang Han in surprise. Judging from her tone, was she interested in Fu Jin?

“Please try? Maybe he wants to go on a trip too?”

Fang Han pressed her palms together and begged, “Mrs. Jiang, how about this? If you help me ask Fu Jin out, 1’11 style you for free in the future.”

“Well,” Jiang Jingchen said. “Beibei, why don’t you go ahead and ask. If Fu Jin refuses, Miss Fang can also give up.”

“That’s right. If he’s not willing, I’ll forget about it.”

Tang Beibei pursed her lips and looked at Fu Jin, who was not far away. She went over to ask.

Fu Jin was originally wearing earphones. When he heard her invitation, he took them off. “Why did you ask me to join you on a hot spring trip?”

“You’ve helped me a lot this time. I-I wanted to invite you. We’ll pay for your travel expenses. Fu Jin, I would look forward to it if you could join us.”

Fu Jin thought for a few seconds. “If it’s an overnight trip, I’ll need to adjust my schedule. 1’11 give you an answer by ten tonight. Is that okay?”

“Great!”

Tang Beibei ran back to Jiang Jingchen and updated him on Fu Jin’s situation. Fang Han smiled and took out her phone.

“Mrs. Jiang, let’s add each other on WeChat. Let me know when he replies to your invitation.”

When they arrived home, Tang Beibei went upstairs to wash her face.

She put on a facial mask and walked out. She lay on the sofa and snuggled up against the man.

“Hubby, what are you looking at?”

Jiang Jingchen was on his phone dealing with some company matters. He avoided the woman’s eyes and lied, “I’m just catching up on news.”

He couldn’t tell her about his other persona, for fear of scaring her and making her overthink.

Tang Beibei also took out her phone to check on the latest dance video of her and Ruan Qi. She saw that their fanbase had increased again.

Some people praised them in the comments section, but many people also criticized them saying that they weren’t good. They even received a private message asking them about their daily rent, if they would accept 100,000 yuan a day.

Tang Beibei frowned and deleted the obscene private message. She continued to read other positive comments. Some netizens also gave them suggestions.

“Obedient Beibei, it’s almost time to wash off your facial mask.”

Tang Beibei only put down her phone when she heard the man’s reminder. The thing with cell phones was that once you picked it up, you couldn’t put it down.

After she washed her face and came back, she saw the man carrying a basin over and was puzzled.

“What is this?”

“It’s for your feet. This has a temperature-controlled foot bath. Your muscles are tense from dancing all day. Come, soak your feet, and relax.”

Before she could react, the man carried her to the foot bath and put her feet in. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Comfortable?”

“Yes, the water temperature is just right, and I like the medicinal fragrance.”

Jiang Jingchen squatted down in front of her. “Take your time to soak. I’ll go take a shower and dry your feet later.”

The man went into the bathroom with his pajamas. Tang Beibei got bored, so she chatted with Ruan Qi and asked her if she would join them.

Ruan Qi replied that she was packing and would join them on their hot spring trip tomorrow.

Tang Beibei was very happy and sent a message to Song Zhou, telling him that Ruan Qi was coming and that he should be prepared.

The man came out of the shower, dried her feet and carried her into bed.

She sat under the blanket and kissed him with a smile. “Hubby, you’re so good to me.”

He had washed his face and removed his scarred face mask. Under the warm light, his features were prominent, and he looked very handsome, much more handsome than any boy Tang Beibei had seen today.

Jiang Jingchen didn’t say anything. He emptied the foot bath and put it away. When he came back to bed, she was watching dance videos again.

His wife’s life was simple. Other than medical books, dance videos, celebrity gossip, cosmetics, and clothes, she hardly paid attention to anything else.

“Obedient Beibei, put down your phone and get ready to sleep.”

Tang Beibei looked at the time. “It’s still early. It’s not even ten yet.”

Jiang Jingchen moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, “It’s get ready, not sleep right away. Obedient Beibei, don’t you want to start the new year with me?”

“Yes, I do.”

“If you do, don’t play with your phone, play with me.”

The man took her phone away and pushed her down.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

The man was annoyed at the interruption and wanted to throw her phone away.

However, when he picked up her phone and saw the caller ID, he did not put it away. Instead, he answered the call.
