Looking at Bei Qingqing’s flustered and pitiful look, he felt that something deep in his heart was disintegrating.

All these years, he had never felt that there was a woman who was as beautiful as Bei Qingqing.

“What did I do wrong? Why are you always looking for trouble with me today?” She lowered her head and asked weakly.

Chen Jiazhi cursed his subordinates in his heart. He had never been in a relationship before, so how would he know how to make girls happy? It was the same lousy method he had heard from his subordinates.

His methods did not work at all! It even made the already sad Bei Qingqing even sadder.

“Ahem, I didn’t mean that.” He did not know how to explain his actions just now.

He could only change the topic to business.

Chen Jiazhi pursed his lips, looked up, and said slowly, “Special Assistant Yao has told me everything that happened in the Bei Family today.”

Bei Qingqing looked up. Her slightly startled gaze met that pair of bottomless black eyes, and she immediately lowered his head.

So he knew everything…

“I don’t care how what the Bei Family is doing, but I want to know what you think.”

Bei Qingqing was stunned. For some reason, she felt that he was exceptionally gentle today.

“Do you want to go back to the Bei Family?”

He shook his head and said seriously, “Someone once said that the one who misses you is the one you belong to.”

She paused, her voice choked with sobs. “So that’s not my home. They’ve always been a family of three. To the Bei Family, I’m just a worthless person, to be used for their benefit.”

“The place where my foster mother is is my home. That’s the only place that can be called home.”

It would be a lie to say that she was not sad. After all, the Bei Family was her biological family. The feeling of being abandoned by her biological parents was as bitter and bone-piercing as the cold snow in the winter.

Chen Jiazhi looked at the sorrow on her face, and he felt like his heart was being pricked by a needle.

He said gently, “From the moment you married into the Chen Family, this place is your home as well. It will continue to be your shelter in the future.”

Ever since she was young, no one had ever said such touching words to her except for her foster mother.

Bei Qingqing felt the warmth in his eyes. A trace of warmth slowly rose in her heart, and she nodded obediently.

Chen Jiazhi curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. Why was this woman so cute?

Chen Jiazhi lazily straightened his body. “I need to go to the bathroom.”

She was stunned for a moment. It was still too early for her to be moved.

“What are you waiting for? Come and help me up. Are you going to let a sick person like me go alone?” He pretended to be pitiful as he placed his hand on Bei Qingqing’s shoulder.

Bei Qingqing quickly got up and used her shoulder to support his weight. Due to the difference in size, it was as if Bei Qingqing was leaning into his chest.

Bei Qingqing’s face turned red at the thought of this. Ever since she was young, she had never had such intimate contact with a man. Although this person was her husband, they had only been together for a short period of time after all.

Chen Jiazhi looked at the shy Bei Qingqing, and a layer of red appeared on his originally fair and attractive face. He could not help but stretch out his hand to pinch her.

“Why are you pinching me?”

Bei Qingqing’s face turned even redder, like a big tomato.

“What’s wrong? You’re my wife now. Isn’t it normal to pinch you?”

Chen Jiazhi admired her embarrassed and angry look. The more she acted like this, the happier he felt.
