Something that pleased her man?
Tang Beibei scratched her head and thought hard. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she pointed at herself.
âMe.â
âSince you like me, Iâll give myself to you, okay?â
Jiang Jingchen was waiting for her to say that. He lowered his head and pecked her on the lips.
âGood girl, here you go.â
When they returned to the villa, Tang Beibei gave Ruan Qi a few strawberries.
Ruan Qi thought that they tasted good and asked Song Zhou to buy more for
her.
However, the strawberries that Song Zhou bought the next day tasted different. Ruan Qi was quite disappointed.
Ruan Qi asked Tang Beibei if her taste buds turned weird because of her pregnancy.
She was also experiencing mood swings. She threw a tantrum for no reason sometimes. She knew that it was wrong and felt guilty afterward.
Tang Beibei did some research and took Ruan Qiâs pulse. She then shared with Ruan Qi that it might be due to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, which was normal.
She would feel better if she continued to take her fetus nourishing medicine and keep a good mood.
Ruan Qi was only 20 years old, and this was her first pregnancy. It was normal for her to feel anxious, happy, and expectant at the same time.
Song Zhou could only endure it.
Occasionally, when she was unreasonable and he could not stand it, he would just walk away and give her space.
Even if he was just in the next room, he would still worry about her and check the surveillance cameras to make sure that she was safe.
As a new father, he also felt a lot of different emotions.
But he knew well that the woman pregnant with his child had to sacrifice a lot to bring the baby into the world.
He couldnât help her give birth, so he could only dote on her, give in to her, coax and love her.
Jiang Jingchen was annoyed when he heard Song Zhou talk about the baby non-stop.
So what if they were expecting?
But to Song Zhou, expecting a baby was a very big deal.
How the tables had turned⦠The young master used to go on and on about his wife and now he was going on and on about his baby.
Karma was a b*tch!
Jiang Jingchen was speechless, but he wasnât someone easily bullied. Anyone who made him unhappy would receive retribution ten times over!
He called Yang Hao and asked him to give any available work to Song Zhou.
Song Zhou had no words.
Tang Beibei didnât know about the secret battle between the two men. Her schedule was packed every day.
Finally, it was time to end Madam Wuâs treatment. Tang Beibei chatted with Madam Wuâs attending physician. The chief felt that she could still treat Madam Wu for a while more because Madam Wuâs condition was good now, and her surgery wasnât urgent.
Tang Beibei waved her hand and said, âSometimes itâs better if we quit while weâre ahead.â
âChief, I wonât interfere with Madam Wuâs subsequent treatments. If you call another joint consultation with Professor Chen, I will participate.â
She was keeping a professional distance with Madam Wu.
Patients and doctors should maintain an appropriate distance to facilitate
better treatment.
If the doctor was too close with the patient, the patient might hate the doctor if she had a relapse or if the treatment didnât work.
The right amount of emotional distance was good for everyone.
When Madam Wu learned that Tang Beibei would not be responsible for her anymore, she persuaded Tang Beibei for a long time to be her goddaughter so that even if Tang Beibei didnât treat her, she could still see her or visit her occasionally.
Although she didnât have to worry about food or clothing when recuperating in a hospital, she had to deal with horrible medicine every day and she was very lonely.
Tang Beibei tactfully declined Madam Wuâs request and wished her a speedy recovery before she took her schoolbag and left.
Madam Wu felt sad as she watched Tang Beibei walk away.
She liked Tang Beibei even more after she started treating her. The young girl was serious about her work, humble and polite. It was a pity that she was already married.
She would be so happy if Tang Beibei could be her daughter-in-law.
Her own daughter could not compare with Tang Beibei. The more she compared them, the more heartbroken she felt.
Tang Beibei exhaled deeply when she walked out of the hospital.
Finally, she did not have to come the hospital every day. It was really tiring to run here every day.
She waited outside the hospital for a while before Song Zhou and Ruan Qi
arrived.
Ruan Qi had a prenatal checkup today.
Song Zhou could have accompanied her, but Ruan Qi was worried and insisted on waiting for Tang Beibei.
The three of them went upstairs to the gynecology and obstetrics department. Tang Beibei had already registered for Ruan Qi when she came to the hospital, so they could go in directly.
The doctor sent Ruan Qi for an ultrasound first before she saw her with the ultrasound report.
The elderly female doctor asked Ruan Qi a lot of questions about her condition and daily reactions to make sure that her pregnancy had stabilized. She also reminded Ruan Qi to refrain from sex during the first trimester.
Song Zhou let out an awkward cough but noted the doctorâs instructions. The doctor handed Ruan Qi a prenatal checkup schedule and a pamphlet on things to note during pregnancy. Song Zhou kept everything carefully and took the doctorâs prescription to buy Ruan Qiâs prenatal medicines and supplements. Tang Beibei held Ruan Qiâs hand. There were many people coming and going at the hospital and she didnât want anyone to knock into Ruan Qi.
At this moment, a woman in the crowd saw Tang Beibei leave the gynecology department and quickly took out her phone to make a call.
It was a big deal that Tang Beibei came to the gynecology department for a prenatal checkup!
After leaving the hospital, Ruan Qi sighed. âI can finally go to school. Iâm so bored cooped up at home every day.â
Song Zhou looked at her sadly. âMiss Ruan is bored being with me.â
âItâs not the same. You are busy. I canât always disturb you.â
Ruan Qi held Tang Beibeiâs arm as she said, âThe most important thing is that I want to learn from Beibei. I want to improve every day and do a good job with prenatal education.â
Tang Beibei looked at Ruan Qiâs belly. âIt hasnât even been a month. The babyâs ears arenât even formed yet. What kind of prenatal education can you do? But if you donât go to school, your studies will definitely be affected.
Ruan Qi tugged at her arm and warned, âTop student, donât talk about such depressing things. I must be a role model for my baby now. I canât fail any subjects!â
âYou can do it!â
Ruan Qi heard the sarcasm in Tang Beibeiâs reply.
At the offices of Jiang Corporationâ¦
Jiang Jingchen, who was reading an internal document, suddenly heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw the department head, Mr. Li, throw a stack of documents on the table angrily.
Some of his colleagues had been startled badly. They were all very cautious and didnât dare to make a sound.
Jiang Jingchen asked Mr. Li in confusion, âWhat happened? Why are you so angry?â
Mr. Li glanced at him. âThe chairman lost his temper at the meeting. It seems that Project G, which he has been working on for a while, has been snatched away, affecting many of our internal projects.â
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. âThat bad? Will the company make big adjustments?â
âOf course!â
Mr. Li then said softly, âWhat the chairman meant is that thereâs a mole in the company. The price of our bid has been leaked, and this caused the company to suffer big losses.â
Jiang Jingchen made an indignant expression. âThe company treats the employees so well, yet there are traitors? Thatâs infuriating.â Mr. Li nodded with an angry face. âNow that the company is in chaos and the higher-ups have been scolded, Iâm afraid internal controls will only become stricter.â
âWill stricter internal controls affect me?â Jiang Jingchen asked innocently.
Mr. Li looked at the first young master of the Jiang family, who was just biding his time in his department, and his eyes twitched.
âI donât think so but First Young Master, arenât you going to fight for the company?â
âSecond Young Master is in recuperation, and you are the only family member who works here. If you want to, youâll definitely have supporters.â
Jiang Jingchen waved his hand, his handsome face showing absolutely no desire.
-Itâs quite nice to work here. Although everyone calls me First Young Master, I donât get any respect here. I can hear the mockery in peopleâs voices.â âNo one would dare to do that. Youâre the first young master of the Jiang family, and thatâs an unchangeable fact.â
In Mr. Liâs mind, although Jiang Jingchen wasnât very cultured and a bit haphazard in his work, he wasnât a bad person and he was quite easy to get along with.
He wondered what kind of sin the Jiang family had committed that after the first young master recovered, the second young master had become disabled. âMr. Li, donât try to persuade me. Itâs the greatest blessing to just bide my time here. Most importantly, if I get too busy, I wonât be able to spend time with my wife and thatâs not good.â
Mr. Li laughed in exasperation. He didnât want to fight for the company because he wanted to spend time with his wife?
Was his wife an immortal to make him give up the Jiang family business? Young people nowadays were so willful. It would be too late to fight when he was poor and destitute in the future and a joke to everyone!
Jiang Jingchen wore his earbuds as he walked out of the office after work.
âHow goes the closing touch?â
Making Jiang Xing lose Project G was the first shot in Jiang Jingchenâs secret battle of revenge.
