Jiang Jingchen took a big step toward Tang Beibei, clasped the back of her neck, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
âObedient Beibei, youâre not smart enough to make up nonsense.â
âIâm not making up nonsense. I love you the most, Brother Jing.â
Jiang Jingchen curled his lips and was in a good mood.
He rubbed her cheeks with both hands. The woman was happy to indulge him and snuggled against his palms fawningly.
Jiang Jingchen squatted down in front of her. âCome on up.â1
Tang Beibei smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. She lowered her head and kissed his ear as she said shyly, âMy Brother Jing smells the best!â
Jiang Jingchen couldnât hold it any longer. The gloominess in his eyes disappeared and he couldnât help but smile. His handsome face was more eye-catching than a blooming flower.
Ruan Qi watched as the two of them walked away and nudged Fu Jin with her elbow.
âSee that? Itâs impossible for the two of them to quarrel. Jiang Jingchen values her more than his own life. How could he bear to make her sad?â
âWhen these two fight, they are more like flirting. It gives me goosebumps.â
Fu Jin replied, âAhem, they got into their car, soâ¦â
âSo what?â Ruan Qi looked at him in confusion.
Fu Jin looked at Jiang Jingchenâs car driving away and looked at Ruan Qi sympathetically. âSo, how are you going get home now that Jiang Jingchenâs car has left?â
âF*ck!â
âJiang Jingchen, sh*tâ¦â Ruan Qi held back her curses. Did the sh*t head need to do that just because someone piggybacked his wife?
Fu Jin looked at her flushed face and couldnât help but laugh out loud. âIâll give you a lift.â
âNo need.â
Ruan Qi snorted coldly and took out her phone. âYou make it sound like I donât have a boyfriend. Even if I have a boyfriend, I can still be self-reliant and take a bus home to save the environment!â
Ruan Qi wanted to call Song Zhou at first but decided against it on account of his injuries. She went online to find a nearby bus stop to take a bus home.
Since Ruan Qi insisted on taking the bus, Fu Jin did not force the issue and left in his car.
When Ruan Qi was back at the villa, Jiang Jingchen still wasnât home. She found Song Zhou on the balcony, working on his laptop.
He had to take care of things that Jiang Jingchen didnât want to do.
When he heard footsteps, he closed his laptop and turned his head. The corners of his mouth curled up when he saw that it was Ruan Qi.
âWhat were you doing that you had to close your laptop when you saw me?â
Ruan Qi quickly walked behind him and hugged him.
Song Zhou explained, âNothing. I was just playing games. I had a feeling youâre here so I stopped.â
Ruan Qi asked curiously, âHow did you feel it?â
âListening to footsteps. Everyoneâs footsteps are different. Youâre impatient; your strides arenât long, but you walk fast. Moreover, you land on the balls of your feet, so your footsteps are light.â
âWow, your observation is so detailed.â
Ruan Qi was surprised. She did not expect him to be so meticulous and even study peopleâs footsteps.
Song Zhou held her hand and pulled her onto his lap.
âIâm meticulous only because itâs you.â
âIâm happy when I hear your footsteps.â
Ruan Qi pinched his face. âYou have more and more coaxing words now. Youâve learned this bad habit from your young master.â
âNo, my personality is different from Young Masterâs.â
âYoung Master is knowledgeable in his words and thoughtful in his coaxing. Iâm not highly educated so I donât speak well. Everything I say is very layman.â Song Zhou said honestly.
âIf you are not highly educated, how are you so nimble and quick on your computer when you edit our videos?â
âYoung Master taught me many things. As for video editing, I taught myself.â
Ruan Qi was surprised. She glanced at him and quickly changed the subject. It did not seem right to talk about his level of education.
âWhen are you going to talk to your fiancee about calling off your engagement? I feel weird as long as youâre not broken up.â
Song Zhouâs expression also turned serious. âIâm sorry for making you uncomfortable.â
âShe and I have an agreement. Iâll give her my blessings if sheâs met someone she liked. She didnât reply to my messages. I still donât know whatâs going on with her. Iâll go talk to her.â
Ruan Qi nodded with a smile. âAfter your engagement is called off, weâll choose an auspicious date to register our marriage.â
Song Zhou chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her.
âI havenât even gone through the proper rituals yet. I must let you marry me proudly.â
Ruan Qi did not mind all that. âIâm not a vain person. Iâll feel very proud if you give me all your salary cards after we get married.â
Song Zhou nodded earnestly. âIâll give them to you. When we save enough money, weâll buy our own villa next to Young Masterâs villa so that our children will grow up together.â
Ruan Qi looked at the large villa next door and tsked once in her heart.
âLetâs not force ourselves. A villa would be too big for just the two of us. We can buy a cheaper apartment and not become slaves to our home.â
Ruan Qi guessed that Jiang Jingchen was wealthy. Song Zhou always dressed in a low-key manner, so she wasnât sure about his financial situation.
However, this man was willing to give up his life for her. She didnât really care how much money he had.
Most importantly, she loved him.
The two of them chatted happily for a while before they heard a car downstairs. Jiang Jingchen had returned.
They walked to the balustrade and looked down. Jiang Jingchen got out of the car, opened the other car door and carried the woman out of the car. He didnât let her feet touch the ground and carried her all the way into the house.
Jiang Jingchen carried the woman to the living room and sat her down. He wiped her hands with a wet tissue and told her not to move while he went to ask Silent Sister about dinner.
Silent Sister gestured that dinner was ready and could be served at any time.
Jiang Jingchen asked her to serve dinner. He then returned to the living room and carried the woman to the dining table and sat her down there.
Silent Sister was already used to seeing Jiang Jingchen take care of Tang Beibei. She put the dishes and rice on the dining table before she retreated respectfully to the side.
Ruan Qi and Song Zhou came downstairs and saw that the two of them had started eating and exclaimed why they didnât wait for them.
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Ruan Qi coldly and said, âItâs not like you donât have hands or mouths. Do you need me to serve you dinner?â
Tsk, he was still angry.
Song Zhou pulled Ruan Qi back and told her to shut up. His young master had a bad temper; it was better not to provoke him.
The two of them sat down quietly and began to eat. Then, they heard Jiang Jingchen ask Ruan Qi, âHow did my wife fall?â
Ruan Qi recounted, âI was a few people behind Beibei at that time. Beibei suddenly fell when she was going down the stairs. Fortunately, Jia Ran caught her and she didnât tumble. Thenâ¦â
Suddenly, Song Zhou tugged at her clothes and Ruan Qi realized that she was done for after saying the wrong thing.
The temperature in the dining room dropped, making people shudder.
Jiang Jingchen turned to look at Tang Beibei. âYouâre quite lucky in love. To be caught by one man and piggybacked by another, huh?â
Tang Beibeiâs head hurt as she looked at Ruan Qi.
Her mistake was fatal!
She had just finished coaxing him and then Ruan Qi lit another fuse.
âJia Ran held me to stop me from falling. That was all.â
Jiang Jingchen replied, âOh? Were you expecting more?â
âNo, I wouldnât dare. He was only trying to help. He definitely doesnât have that kind of thought.â Tang Beibei quickly defended herself.
The man snorted and continued eating his dinner.
The atmosphere at the dining table was a little tense.
Ruan Qi and Song Zhou looked at each other. They both wanted to leave, afraid that they would become collateral damage.
Just as they were about to move, they heard Jiang Jingchenâs cold voice. âSince you are both so free, go to the TV station to investigate my wifeâs fall.â
âHuh?â
Ruan Qi looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Jingchen explained, âMy wife was wearing flat dancing shoes and the steps werenât high. She wouldnât have fallen for no reason. Unlessâ¦â
Jiang Jingchen looked at Tang Beibei with a sinister gaze. Tang Beibei gulped in fear.
He continued, âUnless she was infatuated with another man that she forgot that she was on the steps. After she fell, she just waited for him to save her like a hero saving a damsel in distress..â
