Chapter 304: Be Good, Let’s Talk First
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei and the man walked the puppies together after dinner. She still hadn’t figured out how to tell him about the competition even after they were done.
Because of this, she was in no mood to study. She showered early, sat by the bed and waited for the man.
Should she employ some special tactics if he didn’t agree?
Jiang Jingchen came out of the shower and met the little woman’s round eyes.
After he sat down, he tapped his lips.
The little woman was very obedient. She smiled and kissed him on the lips.
Jiang Jingchen narrowed his eyes and stared at her face. He then poked his finger between her eyebrows.
“What did you do wrong?”
“No, I didn’t. 1 didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Really? Obedient Beibei, when you lie, you always grab the corner of your shirt with your thumbs to ease your nervousness.”
How could this little tell of hers escape his sharp eyes?
Tang Beibei looked down and saw that she was grabbing the corner of her shirt with both her thumbs. She quickly dropped her hands in guilt, giggled fawningly and hugged him.
Jiang Jingchen was very rational though. He pushed her head away to keep his distance from her.
“Be good, let’s talk first.”
Tang Beibei looked at him with pleading black eyes.
The courage that she had mustered up earlier had been completely destroyed by his stare. How could she tell him the truth now?
“I’m not trying to be funny. I just can’t stop thinking about you.”
“Hmm, thinking about how to lie to me?”
“I, I’m not!”
Her voice was so weak that it couldn’t hide the truth at all.
Jiang Jingchen didn’t know what she was hiding. Since she didn’t want to tell him, he would try to get the truth out of her slowly.
“Did you cheat on me with another man?”
“No!” She answered pointedly.
He was open to a discussion as long as it wasn’t about another men.
“Did you dance behind my back?”
She was usually very obedient and listened to him for almost everything except when it came to her studies or her dancing where her opinions differed with his.
Tang Beibei didn’t say anything after Jiang Jingchen guessed her thoughts. She just blinked at him pleadingly.
“Hubby, I would like to resume dancing.”
“Have you recovered from your injuries?”
“Yes, yes. Look.”
She pulled open her pajamas to let him check her wound. She even clenched her fists and stretched her injured arm.
“See, it doesn’t hurt even when I moved my arm like this. I think I’m okay now.”
Jiang Jingchen poked at her wound to see the woman’s reaction. He pressed on it hard but she didn’t even frown. She was obviously pretending.
She endured the pain so she could resume dance training.
His caressed her cheek and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.
“You can’t tell anything from just looking at the wound. Obedient Beibei, you need to exercise a few times before you know for sure.”
Tang Beibei felt that the man was like a ferocious beast that would pounce on her in the next second. She retreated in fear, but the man’s large hand grabbed the back of her neck.
Her neck was her erogenous zone. There was no escape for her now.
The man covered her eyes and slowly breathed into her ear. His deep voice was like a siren song, bewitching and dangerous.
“Obedient Beibei, where do you want to run to, huh?”
“I, I never thought about running.”
“In that case, let me test and see if your wound has recovered.”
Tang Beibei gulped. She felt that he was a little unusual tonight. His dark eyes were deep as if they were hiding an ocean. When she looked into his eyes, she felt like she’d be swallowed whole by the ocean.
Before she could reject him again, he pressed his lips against hers and pressed her down on the bed.
The next day, Tang Beibei asked the man again to see if he would let her resume dance training.
The man didn’t object. He just hugged her and kissed her for a long time before he bit her hard on the shoulder, as if to punish her.
Tang Beibei frowned, guessing that he was angry again.
When he was sending them to school, the man reminded her about dinner and said that he would pick her up from the dance studio.
“Hubby, you mean…”
Tang Beibei stared at him excitedly. Was he letting her resume dance training?
Jiang Jingchen laughed in exasperation. “I let you dance. Why are you crying?” “I’m crying tears of joy, Hubby. Thank you for indulging me.”
Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to indulge her at all, but she was stubborn. If he didn’t agree, she would just find a way to practice behind his back.
“Since you know how good your husband is, don’t look at any other men outside. Go on in.”
“I won’t, Hubby. Mwah.” Tang Beibei smiled and gave him a heart gesture with her fingers.
After finally convincing Jiang Jingchen, Tang Beibei became more confident and attended classes attentively so she could go to the dance studio with Fu Jin after school.
All the trainees in Fu Jin’s dance troupe were taking part in this competition, so competition would be fierce.
Everyone trained hard at the studio today but Tang Beibei felt that some people’s attitudes towards her had changed.
For example, Xi Tong, who had always been sarcastic to her. She actually pushed Ruan Qi aside and sat next to Tang Beibei during a break.
Tang Beibei’s lips twitched awkwardly when she saw Ruan Qi rolling her eyes.
However, Xi Tong didn’t seem to notice Tang Beibei’s resistance. She said with a smile, “Beibei, you’ve been training hard. Let’s go shopping tonight. I’ll bring you to this restaurant with very unique dishes.”
Tang Beibei waved her hand expressionlessly. “No, thanks. I’m going home for dinner.”
Xi Tong’s eyes lit up. “We’ve known each other for so long, but we’ve never been to your house. When are you going to invite us over for a meal or something?” Tang Beibei looked at her strangely. “Why should invite you to my house?” “Because we are classmates and friends.” Xi Tong said matter-of-factly.
Tang Beibei thought about the money she would have to spend on groceries if she invited them over for dinner. Besides, they were not that close.
“Beibei, how about we go to your house this weekend? You stay in a villa, right?”
“No, I’m busy this weekend.”
Xi Tong felt that it was a pity, but she still asked with a smile, “How about next week? Or you can pick a time.”
“Um, I’ll let you guys know.” Tang Beibei faked a smile.
Why would she invite someone she wasn’t close with to her house?
To quarrel or to fight?
“Okay, okay. We’ll go to your house another time.” Xi Tong said with a hopeful expression.
Tang Beibei ignored her and continued drinking water.
Xi Tong secretly disdained Tang Beibei’s expressionless face. What did that tall and handsome rich second-generation heir see in her?
But Xi Tong kept a friendly smile on her face that made people think that they were chatting about something happy.
The other trainees in the studio were all quietly watching Xi Tong fail at her attempt to cozy up Tang Beibei. They all despised her flattery.
Xi Tong didn’t care about other people’s opinions. These people could only be envious when she snagged herself a boyfriend who was also a rich second-generation heir.
No pain, no gain, right?
Dance training continued. When Tang Beibei was doing a spin, someone knocked into her and she staggered back two steps.
Chen Xixi, the person who knocked into her, quickly apologized. Tang Beibei didn’t mind and didn’t think too much about it as she continued practicing.
After dance training ended, Chen Xixi walked up to her with a guilty look on her face.
“Beibei, I’m so sorry for knocking into you just now. Can 1 treat you to a meal?” “Accidents like that happen all the time during training. Don’t take it too hard.” “Beibei, please let me give you a treat or I’ll feel really bad.”
Chen Xixi looked at her pitifully and even held her arm like they were best friends.
Tang Beibei was puzzled. She wasn’t close to Chen Xixi, so why the big fuss of treating her to a meal for just knocking into her by accident?
Ruan Qi squeezed in between the two of them and pushed Chen Xixi away. “We are busy preparing for the competition these few days. We need to go home together. If she goes to dinner with you, I’ll have to wait for her. It’ll be a waste of my time.”
“Then, both of you come together.” Chen Xixi added.
Ruan Qi sneered. This woman was pretending not to understand her rejection.
“No, thanks. I’m in a hurry to see my boyfriend. Bye!”
Without waiting for Chen Xixi to say anything else, Ruan Qi pulled Tang Beibei out. She didn’t expect her to understand the ways of the world.
It was obvious that those women were up to no good. Ruan Qi pulled a long face and lectured Tang Beibei, “The last time your husband was here, they all thought that he’s very handsome and want to snatch him away from you! You’d better be careful. Don’t get too close to them.”
Tang Beibei frowned angrily.
She could tolerate many things but not when people coveted her husband!
“Over my dead body!”
