Ruan Qi looked at the man sitting across from her and probed calmly, “You’ve been observing me so carefully. Don’t tell me that you are interested in me!” Song Zhou chuckled, spread the napkin on his lap and began to eat.
Ruan Qi was curious about his teasing all evening, so she asked anxiously, “Why did you laugh? You are not interested in me?”
Song Zhou put down his chopsticks and explained seriously, “It’s a habit for me to observe people before 1 can serve them. I should know what you like to eat before I order food for you, right?”
“This doesn’t mean that I like you. Please understand that I’m not professing my love to you, and I don’t intend to.”
Ruan Qi gritted her teeth. He was openly rejecting her.
If he didn’t like her, why was he so nice to her? What a jerk. Bastard!
She suppressed her resentment and said, “Alright then. 1’11 treat you as a friend and an older brother. Is that okay?”
“Sure.”
“Brother Song Zhou?”
“Cough, cough…”
Song Zhou choked at her coquettish cry and patted his chest rigorously.
Ruan Qi got her revenge and the disappointment she felt earlier vanished into thin air. She laughed heartily.
When she turned her head and saw Tang Beibei looking at her in confusion, she restrained herself and waved at Tang Beibei. “We are just kidding around. Don’t mind us.”
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Tang Beibei whispered to Jiang Jingchen, “Do you think these two will end up together?”
Jiang Jingchen thought for a few seconds and said, “I don’t know. I’m not the god of marriage. How would I know?”
Tang Beibei nodded. “That’s true. I think Song Zhou and Qiqi get along quite well. More importantly, Qiqi likes Song Zhou.”
“I see. A relationship that starts with ‘like’ may not turn into marriage. Just let them be.”
Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Zhou. It would probably take a while for this kid to find a partner.
After dinner, Tang Beibei asked Ruan Qi to push their tables together and told her about Teacher Zhang’s invitation for her to join her song and dance ensemble.
Ruan Qi was surprised. “Teacher Zhang’s ensemble has high very expectations for its members. Almost all the members are professional dancers with years of experience. Ye Lan really wanted to join Teacher Zhang’s ensemble but she didn’t get her chance. Teacher Zhang actually invited you? Beibei, you’re really something.”
Tang Beibei explained further, “I just checked it myself. Teacher Zhang’s dance ensemble is indeed very good. It’s very well-known in the industry and has trained many excellent dancers, but the salary isn’t very high.”
“… Beibei, you always find the crux of the matter.” Ruan Qi said admiringly.
Tang Beibei replied, “I know that it’s vulgar to think about money all the time at such a young age. It’s mercenary.”
“But my husband doesn’t have a job yet. His legs still need time to recuperate. I want to earn more money so that we can live a good life without relying on the Jiang family.”
Ruan Qi silently glanced at Jiang Jingchen, who wasn’t looking for a job.
From top to bottom, which piece of clothing on him wasn’t expensive?
Although she didn’t know where he got the money, he was able to provide a bottle of purified water for Tang Beibei that cost more than 500 yuan every day. He also prepared snacks for her that cost almost a few thousand yuan a month. The clothes, bags, and shoes she wore were all very expensive luxury goods.
He must be rich.
Therefore, all of Tang Beibei’s considerations were completely unnecessary.
However, she heard Jiang Jingchen say, “Beibei is not mercenary. 1’11 be able to earn money soon. Although it won’t be much, it will be enough to support us.” Tang Beibei did some calculations for him. “You’ve been recuperating all these years and don’t know much about the working world. If you want to find a job, you can at most get one that pays ten to twenty thousand yuan a month. You’ll have to work overtime. It’ll be very tiring.”
“You’ve had serious injuries before, so you need to take extra care of your body. You can’t stay up late, and you can’t think too much. Moreover, we don’t just have our own expenses every month, we also have to pay Song Zhou and Silent Sister’s salaries.”
“I want to get a high paying job, so you don’t have to tire yourself out.” “Recently, I’ve also researched how 1 could earn more money as a dancer. It seems that doing live broadcasts is quite profitable, but I’m not very good at talking, and I don’t like to chit-chat. I probably won’t make it.”
“My other choice is to take on commercial performances but I’m so busy every day. And all commercial performances must go through the company. I’m quite anxious, so I’m working hard to get better so I can talk to Fu Jin about making money when I’m good enough.”
The three of them were very surprised when they heard Tang Beibei’s words. They did not expect her to think so much.
Jiang Jingchen’s heart melted. Song Zhou always said that he doted on his wife.
But his wife was also working hard for their future.
Who wouldn’t love such an adorable woman?
He ignored Song Zhou and Ruan Qi’s gazes and planted a kiss on Tang Beibei’s forehead.
“Beibei, haste makes waste. We’re not in a hurry. We still have some money.” Tang Beibei smiled and nodded. “I know that I can’t rush it, so I’m working hard to become better. Hubby, believe me. I’ll be rich one day and take care of you.”
“Yes, I believe you.”
Jiang Jingchen even added, “You’ll be the breadwinner and I’ll take care of our babies at home.”
“Alright, hehe.”
Ruan Qi was feeling a little sick from their public display of affection. She held her forehead and turned to look at Song Zhou’s expressionless face. She felt slightly sorry for him.
As a singleton, how could he withstand such lovey-dovey day in and day out?
Since they were chatting and Tang Beibei had started the subject, Ruan Qi also shared some of her plans. Hers was very simple. After graduating from university, she would find a dance-related job.
Of course, it would be good if she could make money from the job. She’d be very happy if she could take care of herself.
Ruan Qi then asked Song Zhou about his plans.
Song Zhou was very calm. He looked at Jiang Jingchen and said, “Do whatever Young Master tells me well. As for my own specific goal, sleep early and get up early.”
“… What a noble plan.”
How many people nowadays could put down their smartphones to sleep early?
When Ruan Qi asked Jiang Jingchen about his plans, he just looked at his wife and said, “Stay by Beibei’s side and take good care of her. After she graduates, we’ll have two kids.”
Song Zhou’s lips twitched as he listened to his plain and ordinary plan. He didn’t believe it for one minute.
His young master wanted to destroy the Jiang family, avenge his mother, and make Song Yan regret her actions. He would find the murderer who hurt him back then and also manage his business empire.
There are so many things waiting for him to do.
Tang Beibei was touched by the man’s simple plan and held his hand.
“I’ll be by your side too. As for having kids, I still want to dance. Just wait for me.”
“Yes, I will.”
He would definitely wait. She was still young. He didn’t mind waiting for seven or eight years, let alone two years. However, he couldn’t wait too long to do the things that made babies.
He was a normal man who hugged his beautiful wife every day. He would be lying if he said that he did not have any sexual thoughts.
He would use their date tomorrow to achieve his goal of making her his woman, for real.
Jiang Jingchen held the woman’s hand and led her back home. She had been working so hard the past few days. She should have a good rest tonight because she might not get much sleep tomorrow night..
