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

When they returned to the villa, Tang Beibei hung their clothes in the closet. When she saw the filled closet, she felt as if her heart was also filled.

She ran downstairs, the sound of her footsteps joyful.

She went to the kitchen to make dinner, to reward her husband for taking her clothes shopping.

“Beibei, do you need my help?”

Tang Beibei wanted to refuse, but she thought that he was sick and probably lonely sitting in a wheelchair all day. She might as well find something simple for him to do so that he could feel useful.

The book she read today mentioned that effectiveness of most treatments depended on the patient’s mood and mental state.

“You can help me peel garlic.” Tang Beibei showed him how it was done before she asked him softly, “After you peel the garlic, help me slice it, okay?”

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t help but smile when he heard her child-coaxing tone.

“Of course.”

Tang Beibei was very fast in the kitchen, but she would check on Jiang Jingchen from time to time, like she was afraid that he would hurt himself.

After half an hour, dinner was ready. She placed the dishes on the table and handed him a pair of chopsticks with a smile.

“Hubby, we made this dinner together. Come, taste it. It must be delicious.”

Jiang Jingchen rolled himself to the dining table. He accepted the chopsticks and took a bite. The food was indeed delicious.

She was a good cook.

However, when she said that they made dinner together, she was just trying to make him happy.

When the two of them sat down to eat, Tang Beibei said, “I’ll make you some double-boiled soup tomorrow with some Chinese medicine. We can spend our money wisely so we can treat your illness. By the way, I’ll also take you out for morning walks so you…”

Jiang Jingchen listened to her quietly. The closing and opening of her mouth made him want to kiss her.

He was an undeniable person of action. He would never delay what he wanted to do.

He reached out to grab the back of Tang Beibei’s neck and pressed his lips against hers.

“… Hm.”

Tang Beibei widened her eyes in surprise and stared at him. Suddenly, the man’s big hands covered her eyes.

In the dark, the minty smell on his body was even stronger.

“Beibei, we’re husband and wife. It’s normal to kiss, right?”

Jiang Jingchen acted before asking and threw her a difficult question, which was meant to invade her heart bit by bit so he could have all of it.

He would only tell her that he was not a cripple after she got used to him and fell in love with him.

So, he must find a way to make her fall in love with him.

“Yes.”

Tang Beibei took a few deep breaths. She thought that they had no feelings for each other and were different from other couples. But if she said no, he might be sad and think that she disliked him.

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t hide his pleasure when he heard her answer.

After dinner, Jiang Jingchen went upstairs to the study to deal with some documents. He also held a meeting.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. He turned on the tablet beside him.

After checking the surveillance camera outside the study and seeing that it was Song Zhou, he let him in.

“Young master, the old master just called. He’s asking when you’ll be bringing young madam home to meet the Jiang family?”

Jiang Jingchen opened another file, skimmed through the document and didn’t even look at Song Zhou.

Cold sweat broke out on Song Zhou’s forehead. He mustered up the courage to ask, “Young master, how shall I reply him?”

“Just say that my condition has worsened, and I can’t go out. I won’t be seeing him.”

Jiang Jingchen feigned illness and told the public that he wouldn’t use his phone while recuperating. So, he almost never used his local phone number. When the old master needed to contact him, he could only ask his butler, Song Zhou, for help.

Song Zhou felt on the spot and said, “But when the old master mentioned young madam, he didn’t sound too happy. I wonder if Jiang Minglang has done or said something.”

When he heard that it was related to Tang Beibei, Jiang Jingchen looked up sharply.

“Let’s wait until the weekend when my wife doesn’t have classes. We’ll make a trip home.”

He had to go back to the Jiang residence sooner or later.

Some debts needed to be settled slowly anyway.

He closed the file and asked, “I asked you to investigate the He family. How’s that going?”

Song Zhou said, “The He family is the family of Rong Yong’s wife, He Li. It’s an ordinary family. When He Li and Rong Yong got married, her brother and sister-in-law went to work at the Rong Corporation. He Lan is their eldest daughter. She’s currently a second-year student and has a boyfriend. She’s mean and vain.”

“He Lan, Rong Mei’er and young madam are in the same class. According to their classmates, they often bully young madam and even caused her to be late for school several times. There were even a few times when they mischievously hid young madam’s exam papers, causing her to be scolded by the teachers and her grades to plummet.”

“Alright. Hire someone to keep an eye on her. She likes to hide people’s test papers and make people late for school. Then let her be late for a few days so she missed her exams.”

His tone was nonchalant, but his voice was cold like an iceberg on a frozen lake. Song Zhou shivered.

“Alright, I’ll get it done.”

After Song Zhou left, Jiang Jingchen stared at his computer screen for a few seconds before he typed in the search bar, “How to make an adorable woman fall in love with you?”

The next morning, Tang Beibei woke up and found herself in the man’s arms again. She patted her head in frustration and extracted herself carefully.

She had just moved a little when the man’s arm landed on her waist and pulled her in close.

She was so scared that she covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Although this man’s legs didn’t work, his arms were really strong.

The man’s pajamas were loose, revealing his strong and shapely arms. She looked up and saw the curve from his collarbone to his jaw. It was smooth and beautiful, and she was mesmerized for a moment.

How good would it be if his illness could be treated?

Leaning against his chest, she listened to his heartbeat and smelled the strong masculine aura on his body. Her face was hot, and her heart fluttered like a butterfly fluttering its wings.

After waiting for a while, the man still showed no signs of waking up. She moved slightly and called out to him softly.

“Hubby, hubby, wake up. Let’s go for a walk and some exercise.”

Although his legs were injured, he could still train his arms. It would be good to strengthen his heart and lungs, Tang Beibei thought.

The man frowned and looked like he was going to wake up but he held her tightly, snuggled against her shoulder and fell asleep again.

Every breath he took was magnified indefinitely in her ear. His hot breath went into her ear; it was as if he had lit a fire in her brain.

Her face was red, and there was a strange feeling in her body. It was a tingling feeling and she felt hot.

Tang Beibei’s breathing became more deliberate. She struggled for a bit and said, “Hubby, hubby, wake up. I’m going to get up.”

If she didn’t get out of bed, she would melt in his arms!

Only then did the man slowly open his eyes and look at her blushing face. It was like the red glow of the sunrise on her fair cheeks. She was beautiful.

“Good morning, Beibei.”

Tang Beibei was shy. Her eyes looked everywhere except at him.

“H-hubby, Good morning.”

“Beibei, are you getting up to exercise?”

Tang Beibei nodded quickly. “Yes, I want to take you out for a morning walk. It’s good for you to get some fresh air.”

Jiang Jingchen caressed her face, his gaze profound. “Walk? I can’t walk but I can get some fresh air.”

He pecked her on the lips as he spoke. His voice was deep, and there was a hint of a smile in it. “Yes, I can feel it. Your air is very fresh. Beibei, give me your air.”

“What? Give you air?”

“I’ll teach you.”

Jiang Jingchen covered her mouth with his, taking away her air and her rationality.

How could Jiang Jingchen let her go when she was snuggling in his arms early in the morning and saying that she wanted to exercise?
