Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei didn’t expect Ruan Qi to say something like that. She quickly turned off her speaker phone and looked at Jiang Jingchen apologetically.

“Qiqi, what are you talking about? Didn’t I warn you not to talk about my husband like that?” She reminded Ruan Qi softly.

Ruan Qi didn’t think that she had said anything wrong. “Who knows when your sickly husband would croak? You have to think for yourself. Senior Lu Fan is so good in every aspect. I just feel sorry for you.”

Of course, Tang Beibei knew that Ruan Qi meant well for her, but Jiang Jingchen would be sad if he heard her words.

“Qiqi, senior Lu Fan and I see each other because we have the same mentor.

Don’t get the wrong idea, okay? Senior Lu Fan is way out of my league. I know my limits.”

Tang Beibei was well aware of her qualities. She was not very beautiful and had an average figure. Not only did she not have family background, but she was also unlucky. Lu Fan was the young master of the prestigious Lu family, surely he had high standards.

Ruan Qi was almost driven up the wall by her blockhead friend, Tang Beibei.

“Beibei, senior Lu Fan is really interested in you.”

If Lu Fan wasn’t interested in her, he wouldn’t have been so sad after he found out that she was married. He even called Ruan Qi to confirm it. Ruan Qi’s heart ached when she heard her idol’s sad voice.

“Qiqi, that’s just your imagination. Besides, my marriage isn’t something to hide. Even if senior Lu Fan knows, I won’t ask him for a wedding gift. Don’t get so worked up, okay? I have to go now. I still have homework.”

To hell with the wedding gift!

When Ruan Qi heard the call disconnected tone on her phone, she wanted to drag Tang Beibei over and ask her if she had lost the nerve in the limbic system that controls love. Why else would she be so dense?

After Tang Beibei hung up the phone, she threw it aside. She looked up, saw the man’s dark eyes and felt a little guilty.

“Erm… That was my good friend on the phone. I told her about our marriage. Don’t mind what she said, I’ve already scolded her. She won’t do it again.”

“Oh,” Jiang Jingchen said weakly, as if he had been hurt. He coughed and then said aggrievedly, “Your friend is right. I’m indeed sick and can’t live for a long time. It’s only right for you to plan for your future.”

Hearing him cough, Tang Beibei became anxious. He didn’t cough when he taught her how to use the software just now. He must be very angry now.

“No, hubby. I don’t have any plans. I believe that with proper treatment you’ll be cured.”

“Cured?” Jiang Jingchen looked at her. “Do you want me to be cured?”

“Of course. You’re my husband. Of course, I want you to get better!”

In Tang Beibei’s heart, he was the person who treated her best, and she didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Jiang Jingchen stopped coughing and beckoned her over. Tang Beibei walked over, squatted and looked up at him.

“Beibei, do you despise me because of my disability?”

Tang Beibei shook her head. She was a medical student and had some general knowledge. His leg injury was probably nerve-related, which was why he was impotent. He coughed often probably because he had lung problems. He wasn’t infectious and she wasn’t afraid of him.

Jiang Jingchen reached out and touched the top of her head. “Beibei, you have to kiss me to prove it.”

Tang Beibei felt helpless. It seemed that every time he was angry, he would feel happy after she kissed him.

If a kiss could make him happy, she would willingly do it, like she was comforting a child.

She smiled and kissed him on the lips. “I’m not lying to you. You’re good to me. I’ll always remember that.”

“Just because I’m good to you?” Jiang Jingchen asked.

If other men treated her well, would she kiss them like this too?

At the thought of this, Jiang Jingchen furrowed his brows. His face instantly darkened, and he held the back of her neck with both hands.

“Beibei, you can only do this with me. You are not allowed to be intimate with other men!”

Tang Beibei couldn’t understand why the man’s aura suddenly became so harsh and his voice so cold. She swallowed hard in fear.

She instinctively felt danger and wanted to escape, but the man’s grip was tight. She couldn’t escape at all, so she looked at him helplessly.

“Hubby, what’s wrong with you? Why would I kiss another man? I won’t.”

Jiang Jingchcn’s tensed muscles finally relaxed when he heard this. He restrained the violence in his body and let go of her. He then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips to comfort her.

“Did I scare you?”

Tang Beibei didn’t dare to nod. She tilted her head and looked at him. “Hubby, why are you angry?”

Jiang Jingchen looked at her. “I’m not angry. Beibei, promise me that you won’t leave me.”

“Yes, I promise.”

The coldness on Jiang Jingchcn’s body dissipated. He patted her back and said, “Go back to your homework. I’m going to read.”

Tang Beibei was confused, but her translation homework was more important, so she didn’t think too much about it.

Jiang Jingchen wheeled himself to the other side of the study, took out his phone and asked Song Zhou how the investigation was going.

Song Zhou replied, “The man who was with young madam is named Lu Fan. He’s the young master of the Lu family, a third-year medical student. His academic results are excellent, and he works under the same teacher as young madam so they would occasionally come into contact.”

“The Lu family, I see. Find a reason to get him out of the country.”

After he sent the message, he threw his cell phone aside and looked at Tang Beibei.

She was quite a catch, so it was no surprise that she had suitors at her university. However, anyone who dared to snatch his woman away would be courting death!

Tang Beibei, who was concentrating on reading the documents, sighed after she found some information.

“So, there are so many nerves in that part of a man’s body. And there are so many things that can excite it. It’s really fascinating.”

“…” Jiang Jingchen as a man.

Tang Beibei was looking at this matter purely from an academic point of view. She didn’t have any evil thoughts, but when she noticed the man’s gaze, she was annoyed at herself that she had said it out loud.

Her husband was impotent, so that part of his body couldn’t move much. His nerves there were probably slow to react, even non-reactive.

She must have hurt his self-esteem by saying all this.

She chuckled and said in a fawning tone, “Hubby, are you thirsty? I’ll get you a glass of water.”

Jiang Jingchen was indeed a little thirsty at the moment.

This girl was right. A man’s arousal could indeed be caused by many things, for example, his wife’s words.

“Beibei, come here.”

Tang Beibei felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She felt guilty and didn’t dare to go over.

“Why? What’s the matter?”

Seeing that she wasn’t coming over and was instead trying to escape, his eyes turned dark and scheming.

“I’m indeed a little thirsty. Go get me a glass of water.”

“Alright, 1’11 be quick!”

Tang Beibei stood up immediately and ran out of the study. She did not see the evil smile on the man’s face.

Tang Beibei brought a glass of water back to the study and handed it to him. When she saw him reaching out for the glass, her hands slipped.

“Crash!”

The moment she let go, the cup fell straight down and hit the carpet, and water spilled all over the man. Tang Beibei gasped in horror and quickly found a tissue to wipe the water off him..
