When Tang Beibei heard that it was a woman on the phone, she was stunned for a few seconds before she checked his call history.
Jiang Jingchen had been in contact with the owner of this phone number.
“What agreement?”
When the caller heard a woman answer the phone, she seemed stunned for a few seconds.
“Who are you? Why are you answering Mr. Chen’s call?”
“I am…” Tang Beibei pursed her lips and did not answer her question directly. “If I can answer his call, 1 am, of course, Jiang Jingchen’s people. May 1 ask, Madam, what agreement are you talking about?”
“Please pass the phone to Mr. Chen. 1 have something to tell him.” The caller said.
“He’s in the shower so he can’t come to the phone now. I’ll pass on any message if you leave one.”
“He’s taking a shower at this hour?” The woman questioned.
Tang Beibei replied with a smile, “Yes, we were fooling around just now. He said that he was sweaty and wanted to take a shower. Madam, would you like to leave a message?”
The caller didn’t say anything and hung up.
Tang Beibei heard the call disconnect tone on the phone, retracted her smile and put his phone down.
Jiang Jingchen wiped his hands and asked if she would like some food as he walked out of the bathroom. He would ask Silent Sister to cook whatever she wanted.
“A woman called just now and asked where you were. 1 told her that you were in the shower.” Tang Beibei glanced at him and continued, “That woman asked you out for a drink since you’ve come to an agreement of some sort. She has a nice voice.”
Jiang Jingchen heard the woman’s displeasure. She even lied that he was in the shower. She had improved.
He picked up his phone and chuckled.
“Are you jealous?”
“I’m not jealous!”
She pulled a long face, looking disdainful and unaccepting. “Hubby, what kind of agreement are you discussing with her that you need to go out for a drink?” Jiang Jingchen explained, “It’s work-related. She wanted to meet me in person, but I didn’t want to.”
Tang Beibei’s face darkened. She pointed at his face and asked, “Have you ever removed your mask with facial scars in front of outsiders?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“You’re lying. Wen Nan knew about your disguise.”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her. Female logic could be strange sometimes, but it wasn’t wise to quarrel.
Tang Beibei continued, “You haven’t shown her your real face, yet she is interested in you. Hubby, you’re already married. I’m your wife.”
Jiang Jingchen held back his laughter and sat down to listen to her lecture. He even nodded cooperatively and said meaningfully, “Yes, you’re my wife. 1 don’t only remember it with my brain but also with my body.”
At the sound of his still teasing words, Tang Beibei pursed her lips and looked at him dejectedly.
“Hubby, am 1 terrible?”
“My Beibei is not terrible at all. She’s very good.” Jiang Jingchen said quickly.
Tang Beibei kept her head down and didn’t speak.
Jiang Jingchen was a little anxious. “Obedient Beibei, why are you angry? Tell me.”
Tang Beibei tugged at his sleeve. “1 have no confidence in myself. I’m afraid that you’ll be snatched away, so I quarreled with you. Don’t be angry with me. I’ll stop now.”
Jiang Jingchen relented but she was still stubborn and said whatever she wanted.
“It’s interesting to hear you lecture me occasionally.”
Jiang Jingchen rubbed her head and comforted her. “I belong to you. If you’re angry, then you can understand how I’m always worried that you’ll be snatched away by someone else. I’m sometimes a little tyrannical to you.”
He would torment her in bed when he felt jealous.
But Tang Beibei was too naive to notice that.
“I won’t be snatched away by someone else,” she replied honestly.
Jiang Jingchen was pleased. He nodded with a smile and whispered, “Obedient Beibei, there are too many temptations and different types of people in this world. Plus, we are still learning to get along with each other and we will quarrel, have differences and conflicting views because of our life experiences.” “We are all afraid that through such conflicts and differences, we will become cold and unfamiliar with each other and eventually fade into the crowd.”
“No one knows what will happen in the future.”
“It’s futile to say words of promises. 1 would rather live in the present.”
“At this very moment, you are in my heart.”
Tang Beibei listened to the man’s words in a daze, especially his last sentence. It tugged at her heartstrings and accelerated her heartbeat.
The man kissed her and said, “Obedient Beibei’er, looking at the adorable you, 1 always feel that I’m not good enough. 1 want to give you all the good things, but I’m afraid that if 1 give you too much, you’ll be annoyed and despise me.” “But if 1 don’t give anything to you, I’ll feel guilty and uneasy, and act strangely.”
“Please understand me and tell me what’s bothering you in the future. 1’11 listen.”
Tang Beibei sniffled and shook her head. “You’re already very good, Hubby.”
“Then don’t be angry, okay?”
“Okay. 1’11 stop.”
Jiang Jingchen helped her wipe her tears. She was finally calm and he heaved a sigh of relief.
He had never thought that a joke like that would make her so upset.
“Is there anything you want to eat? 1’11 get Silent Sister to cook it for you. Focus on your recovery and then you can love me more.”
Tang Beibei, who was quite touched just now, almost choked when she heard his last sentence.
However, Jiang Jingchen was calm. He even added, “Between husband and wife, pleasant words are like soap bubbles. They are gone once the bubbles popped. 1 prefer to do things. Things that take great strength and energy to do. The more strength and energy it takes, the more it says that we love each other deeply.” “Stop talking!”
She glared at him in anger and embarrassment.
Sometimes, Jiang Jingchen was naughty. The shyer she got, the more he would tease her.
Didn’t people say that men would become childish and play endless pranks in front of the woman they loved?
The two of them fooled around for a while and then Tang Beibei wanted to continue studying. Jiang Jingchen sat beside her and called the number that had just called him.
The call went through and a woman’s delicate voice sounded, “Mr. Chen, I called you just now.”
Jiang Jingchen observed Tang Beibei from the corner of his eye. She peeked at him and tried to listen to his phone conversation, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she scratched her ears in confusion.
She was so cute that he wanted to kiss her.
He deliberately moved closer to her and lifted her hair by her ear before saying to the person on the phone, “Yes, my wife told me. We can talk about work at work. As for a drink, I won’t go. I’m busy studying with my wife.”
“… The woman who answered the call just now is Mr. Chen’s wife?”
“Yes. Make an appointment with my staff to talk about work.”
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Jiang Jingchen ended the call and showed his phone to Tang Beibei.
“I’ll block this woman’s number.”
“Don’t. I’ve already said that I’m not angry.”
Jiang Jingchen’s hand didn’t stop. He blocked the woman’s number and showed it to Tang Beibei.
“If you have any doubts in future, you must tell me. If you’re angry and don’t want to say it, send me a text. If it still doesn’t diminish your anger, bite me. I promise I will not resist.”
Tang Beibei pursed her lips. He had a very good temper, and there was nothing she couldn’t say out loud because she was angry.
“Hubby, don’t consider my feelings all the time. You’ll spoil me rotten.”
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. He slumped down into her bed and looked up at her.
“I’m curious how bad you can become. Will you torture me… Until I die?”
“… Go away. Don’t disturb me when I’m studying.”
The man acted childish again. He covered her book with his hand and deliberately teased her, “Medical students also study biology. Why don’t you discuss it with me to deepen our understanding?”
“I just told that woman that 1 was studying with my wife. Since we are studying, we must learn something useful.”
