Tang Beibei returned to the villa after school and walked into the living room expectantly, only to see her husband chatting and laughing with another woman.
She felt strange, and the smile on her face faded a little as she stood still.
âBeibei, come here.â
When the man heard footsteps, he turned his head and saw her. He waved at her, told her that Wen Nan had made desserts and that she should have a taste.
Tang Beibei was not pleased. Before today, he had always greeted her at the door when she came home. Now that there was another woman staying with them, he had neglected her.
She walked over with puffed cheeks and took a piece of dessert from him. She took a bite and her eyes lit up. Her puffed cheeks deflated in an instant.
Delicious!
The dessert was slightly sour from hawthorn mixed with the sweetness and sourness of strawberries.
âDr. Wen, you have good skills!â
This was typical of Tang Beibei. She couldnât be angry in the face of delicious food.
âI made these for Mr. Chen in the past when he didnât have an appetite.â Wen Nan deliberately looked at her when she spoke.
But Tang Beibei was busy eating and couldnât care less. She ate one piece after another and went back for more until Jiang Jingchen held her hand and said gently, âBeibei, donât spoil your dinner. You can have more after dinner.â
Tang Beibei retracted her hand and stared at the desserts while licking her lips.
âAlright, Iâll go make dinner.â
Wen Nan saw Tang Beibei staring at the desserts and was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched.
But she had a gentle smile on her face when she said, âIâve already made dinner, Mrs. Chen.â
âOh, youâve taken too much trouble, Dr. Wen.â Tang Beibei felt bad for letting the doctor cook. âDr. Wen, you donât have to call me Mrs. Chen. Just call me Beibei.â
âAlright, 1â11 call you Beibei from now on.â
Wen Nan looked at Jiang Jingchen with a smile and shrugged helplessly. As she expected, his wife didnât like to be too formal.
In her heart, she didnât want to call Tang Beibei Mrs. Chen anyway.
Jiang Jingchenâs wife, huh? This woman is too young!
She then said to Tang Beibei, âBeibei, you are most welcome. 1 hope you donât mind my cooking.â
âWhy would I mind?â
Tang Beibei looked at the five dishes and soup on the table. The five dishes looked perfect in color, fragrance, and flavor. This Dr. Wen was quite amazing.
She turned around to get the cutlery, but Wen Nan asked her to sit. âIâve also cleaned the kitchen. Iâve moved the cutlery to a different drawer. Beibei, have a seat. Iâll go get the cutlery.â
Tang Beibei nodded. Jiang Jingchen echoed Dr. Wen and said to her, âDonât stand on ceremony with Dr. Wen. Sheâs bored so she did what she could.â H H
Wen Nan glanced at Jiang Jingchen with a faint smile, but she was thinking to herself that he had no idea how much effort she had put in to be worthy of him!
After dinner, Tang Beibei went to do her homework. She looked at the anatomy chart in her book and looked up at the man who was reading.
Sensing her gaze, Jiang Jingchen turned to look at her. âWhat?â
Tang Beibei got up and walked to his side. She squatted beside his wheelchair and pointed at his legs. âHubby, howâs the rehabilitation training going?â âI have a little feeling in my legs now,â Jiang Jingchen said.
Tang Beibeiâs eyes lit up. She pinched his thigh and asked, âDo you feel anything when 1 do this?â
The womanâs hand was soft, almost boneless when he pinched his leg like that. How could he not feel anything?
âYeah, a little.â
âThen thereâs a high chance that youâll recover!â Tang Beibei was excited.
He had feeling in his legs!
She pinched his legs happily all over, causing itchiness to Jiang Jingchen. However, he couldnât say anything, so he endured it.
When he couldnât take it anymore, he grabbed the womanâs wrist and pulled her up to look her in the eye.
âHas Beibei finished her homework?â
Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. âYes, Iâm almost done.â
âThen, should you pay back the debt you owed me today?â
âHuh? What debt?â Tang Beibei thought for a while and didnât think that she owed him any money.
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and touched his lips. âHere, you owe me.â
Tang Beibei then remembered that he had asked her to kiss him in the afternoon, but she hadnât.
She lowered her head and was about to kiss him on the lips when there was a knock on the door.
She stopped what she was doing. As if she had found an excuse, she got up quickly to open the door.
Jiang Jingchen frowned impatiently.
Tang Beibei opened the door and saw Wen Nan in her pajamas holding a glass of milk.
âDr. Wen, this is?â
âIâve prepared some warm milk for Mr. Chen. Itâll help him sleep.â
âThanks.â
Tang Beibei reached out to take the glass from her, but Wen Nan resisted and said with a smile, âLet me do it.â
Tang Beibei retracted her hand in embarrassment and let Wen Nan enter the study. When Dr. Wen walked past her, she could smell the nice fragrance on her.
Tang Beibei wriggled her nose. Was this the legendary scent of a woman?
Wen Nan put the glass of milk on the table and said to Jiang Jingchen, âDonât forget to drink the milk Iâve prepared for you.â
âThanks.â Jiang Jingchenâs attitude was perfunctory. He didnât want anyone to interrupt his private moments with his wife.
Wen Nan smiled gently. âYou are welcome. Iâll go now.â
Wen Nan knew that she should never get too close to him, or it would disrupt his plan.
When she walked by Tang Beibei, she said, âBeibei, you shouldnât stay up too late studying too. Rest early for good health. Mr. Chen should also rest early.â âOkay, thank you, Dr. Wen.â
Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. After Dr. Wen left, she closed the door, ran up to Jiang Jingchen and whispered, âDr. Wen smells so good!â
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. âSmell good?â
Tang Beibei nodded. âYeah, didnât you smell it?â
âNo, I didnât.â
Tang Beibei wriggled her nose again. There was no problem with her sense of smell. Why couldnât he smell the fragrance that she could?
âBeibei, you were repaying your debt just now. Continue.â
Jiang Jingchen didnât care about other women at all. He only thought about his woman. She had a faint fragrance on her body. His heart would get restless whenever she got close.
Tang Beibei blushed and stood up. âAll, itâs time to sleep. Hurry up and drink the milk. Letâs go to bed.â
Seeing that she was trying to escape, Jiang Jingchen held her hand. âBeibei, letâs drink together.â
Tang Beibei had no choice but to hand him the glass of milk. âYou drink first. Just leave some for me.â
âBeibei, you drink first.â
âErm, okay. Iâll drink some first then you finish it.â Tang Beibei sat down. She had just taken a sip when the man grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her lips.
She widened her eyes in shock. The milk in her mouth wasâ¦
âMmm⦠Hubby, youâ¦â
The man licked his lips and smiled. âThat tastes good.â
âAre you trying to take advantage of me?â
Tang Beibei wiped the corners of her mouth and glared at him in embarrassment and anger.
Jiang Jingchen stared deeply at the corners of her mouth. He moved her hand away and said, âSilly girl, you are my wife. This is not taking advantage. Itâs having fun.â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts. I can also drink and feed you.â
He took a sip of milk and fed it to her. How could Tang Beibei withstand it? She struggled a few times but could not escape. However, the man was having fun and would not let go of her.
After finishing the glass of milk, he was still not satisfied. He touched the tip of her nose and said to her, âI was making you repay your debt just now. Beibei, you canât hide!â
Tang Beibei stared at her crippled husband. He was so strong that he didnât look like a patient at all.
Suddenly, she thought of a question. âHubby, you donât seem to cough when youâre with me.â
He would cough non-stop when heâs outside. But when he was with her, he almost never coughed.
â⦠Erm.â
Jiang Jingchen really didnât know how to explain himself. He just looked at her red lips and broke into a smile.
âThis is because your kisses have a healing effect on me.â
â. Huh?â
A medical studentâs worldview had been challenged.
Jiang Jingchen continued to bluff. âBeibei, didnât 1 tell you that kissing can cure illnesses? If you donât believe me, you can go and look it up.â
Tang Beibei stared at him suspiciously. She really wanted to look it up.
The next day, she went to the library to look for medical literature to check things out, but she ran into Lu Fan.
She was a little annoyed and wanted to leave but Lu Fan hugged her unexpectedly and said, âBeibei, 1 know that you care about me and you love me.â
ââ¦. ? ? ?â
