After a long kiss, Tang Beibei felt as if her soul had been taken by this man.
She felt light-headed as she leaned against the manâs chest and panted.
However, it wasnât a bad feeling. With his company, her mood improved rather significantly.
After dinner, Tang Beibei remembered what Professor Chen said and felt even chirpier.
âHubby, hubby, my teacher, Professor Chen, said that your condition can be cured!â
âOh.â
Jiang Jingchen consented to Song Zhou showing Tang Beibei his medical records as a test to see what she was up to.
Now it seemed that she wanted those records so she could find a way to cure him.
His wife wanted him to get better soon.
âHubby, Professor Chen said that you should keep a happy mood and follow the treatment plan closely. You may be able to stand up one day.â
Tang Beibei was excited when she imagined Jiang Jingchen standing up one day.
Jiang Jingchen saw that she was smiling so adorably after crying so sadly just a moment ago. She was really a little girl.
âKeep a happy mood?â
âYeah!â
âI think Iâll be very happy if you kiss me.â He teased her on purpose.
Tang Beibei blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. âWe just kissed at dinner.â
Jiang Jingchen replied, âYou breakfasted this morning and had dinner this evening. Weâll eat again tomorrow.â
Tang Beibei was speechless. She stole a glance at him and lowered her head to kiss him on the lips.
âAre you happy now?â
âYes, a little, but not enough.â
Tang Beibeiâs cheeks were hot as she kissed him again. âIf you are still not happy, Iâll tell you a joke.â
Before the man could answer, she started her joke. âDo you know whoâs the character in the Chinese mythological story who passed by the house three times but didnât enter?â
Jiang Jingchen tapped his lips. âKiss me again and Iâll answer you.â
Tang Beibei looked at him. How could this man treat kissing as eating jellybeans? He just had one and now he was asking for a second one. He had become greedy.
However, to keep him in a happy mood, she told herself that they were husband and wife and kissing was a normal thing. She kissed him again.
âHurry up and tell me your answer.â
âIs it Gun-Yu?â
âNo, itâs the God of Wealth! Hahaha, you didnât expect this, did you? I think it makes total sense!â Tang Beibei laughed as she spoke.

? ?
Jiang Jingchen didnât find her joke funny, but he smiled when he saw her laughing so happily.
His wife loved money and this joke was enough to prove that.
âBeibei, you want the God of Wealth?â
âOf course. With the God of Wealth, Iâll have money. With money, I can do a lot of things!â
âBeibei, what would you do if you have money?â
Tang Beibei thought for a few seconds. âSo many things. I want my grandmother to live in a better nursing home. I want to buy her delicious food. I can also eat a lot of delicious food and buy nice clothes. Oh, oh, the best thing about having money is thatâ¦. Sigh, but I donât have money!â
It was the first time Jiang Jingchen had heard her mention her grandmother. âYou can give your grandmother the betrothal money you got from the Rongs.â
Tang Beibeiâs expression was sad. Her grandmotherâ¦
âHubby, Iâll get you a glass of water.â
Jiang Jingchen saw that she didnât want to talk about her grandmother and ran away. There was obviously more to her story.
He sent a message to Song Zhou and asked him to find out what happened to Tang Beibei in school and to tell him about her grandmother as soon as possible.
The next day was a Saturday, and Tang Beibei had no school.
Tang Beibei got up early. She made breakfast and memorized English words at the same time.
When Jiang Jingchen went downstairs, he saw his wife walking around the kitchen in an apron muttering to herself.
âHubby, youâre awake! I made breakfast!â Tang Beibei said.
Jiang Jingchen saw her smile, which was brighter than the morning sun outside the window.
âYes.â
Tang Beibei pushed his wheelchair to the table with a smile and then put the dishes she prepared on the table. âWhat would you like to have for breakfast?â âGive me a kiss, and my appetite will be better.â

? ?
Tang Beibei looked at the 29-year-old man. Why was he asking her to kiss him all the time? He wasnât a child.
She complained in her heart, but she still kissed him. âIs it better now?â
âYouâre asking me? Of course, I want more.â
Tang Beibei didnât say anything and just scooped him a bowl of porridge.
Jiang Jingchen smiled as he watched her pout and started eating his breakfast.
After breakfast, he said to her, âBeibei, weâll visit the Jiang residence today.â âWhat Jiang residence?â Tang Beibei asked absent-mindedly. She thought for a few seconds and looked at him blankly. âYou mean your family home, the Jiang residence!â
âYes. Are you scared?â
âNot scared but Iâm a little nervous because Iâve never met your family.â Tang Beibei rubbed her hands and frowned. She was obviously a little worried.
Jiang Jingchen held her hand and said, âYou are married to me, and you live with me. Their attitude doesnât matter.â
âBut theyâre your family.â
Jiang Jingchen scoffed coldly, âJiang Minglang is also my family.â

Tang Beibei calmed down instantly when she heard Jiang Minglangâs name and held Jiang Jingchenâs hand.
According to the rumors, after Jiang Jingchen got into a car accident, he was shunned by his family. His family must have bullied him, which was why Jiang Minglang dared to bully him.
Since she was married to him, she had to protect him. She wouldnât let his family bully him!
With this resolve, Tang Beibei immediately became like a little warrior with high fighting spirit.
âThen what do I need to prepare before we visit the Jiang residence?â
âThereâs no need to prepare anything. Just go with me.â
Visiting the Jiang residence was just a formality. If the old master tried to make things difficult for Tang Beibei, he would not let them succeed!
Tang Beibei felt that she was going to a battlefield. She should change into beautiful clothes and clean herself up.
âWhen are we going?â
âWe are having lunch there.â
âIâll go upstairs and clean myself up.â
Tang Beibei ran upstairs as she spoke. Suddenly, she stopped and ran back downstairs. She walked up to him and said, âYou should change your clothes and look peppy too. Let those people see that you are doing well even when you are recuperating.â
Jiang Jingchen didnât know whether to laugh or cry when he saw her pulling a long face while pushing him upstairs to change his clothes.
However, he did not object.
He also wanted to let those people see that he had found himself a good wife and he was doing really well!
Tang Beibei changed him into a casual beige suit and put on his glasses. Tang Beibei even took out her mobile phone to take a picture of him. She took a picture of his side profile, the unscarred half of his face.
She was very happy with the photo and even said to him proudly, âHubby, youâre so handsome like this. Youâre even better looking than celebrities and models!â
Jiang Jingchen looked at the photo. The person in the photo looked like him without the human mask. He didnât really care about his appearance.
âBeibei, you like this side profile?â
âVery much so!â
Tang Beibei was also thinking in her heart that her husbandâs side profile looked so good that she was almost drooling.
âIf you like my side profile, it means that you like me, right? Beibei?â
Tang Beibei was stunned. Her long lashes fluttered a few times. âI⦠I was talking about the photo.â
Jiang Jingchen pressed on. âBut the person in the photo is me.â
He even teased her gently. âBeibei, we are husband and wife. Liking me is a good thing..â
