The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO - Chapter 408
Chapter 408: It’s True That Childishness Is Contagious

Tang Beibei explained to Jiang Jingchen, “The store manager is a man. He’s old, proud, old-fashioned, stubborn, and defensive.”
“If I tell him directly, he might think that I’m fooling him, so it’s best not to tell him.”
“But the girl just now spoke respectfully. More importantly, her condition is indeed not good. She might not take me seriously if I didn’t tell her directly.” “Hubby, did you see her palms?”
Jiang Jingchen recollected, “Her palms were very pale and looked bloodless. Her fingers were thin and the gaps between her fingers were quite big. What does that mean?”
“There are lines on our palms, and they change according to our physical condition.”
“The lines on the girl’s palms were very shallow and pale because her palms were cold and her Qi and blood were stagnated. Imagine us as machines with our hearts as the engine. If the engine is not getting enough power, our Qi and blood can’t reach our limbs.”
“When I was holding her hand just now, I could feel that her palm was wet with cold sweat.”
“There’s a saying in Chinese medicine that the liver controls our tendons, the kidneys control our bones, the spleen controls our flesh, the heart controls our arteries and veins, and the lungs control our skin and hair. If her skin is breaking out, her lungs is filled with excessive heat.”
“She suffers from Yin deficiency and there’s excessive heat in her upper burner. The heat can’t move down, so it goes up. That’s why she has such serious
acne.”
Jiang Jingchen didn’t quite understand the medical terms she used, but he still nodded agreeably.
“My Obedient Beibei is truly amazing to be able to see all that.”
She had only studied medicine for two years. To be able to say those words, not only did she need strong professional knowledge and observation skills, but she also needed to know how to talk to people.
If this were ancient times, she would already be seeing patients.
Tang Beibei was embarrassed by the compliment and said, “Maybe it’s because
I’m eating happily that my little brain is awakened.”
Jiang Jingchen wanted to pinch her face when he saw her pointing at her head goofily.
How could she be so cute? The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
Tang Beibei finished her free lunch and felt a little stuffed.
Just as she left the restaurant, she received a message from Fu Jin.
Fu Jin said that the proposal gig had been canceled and asked her to go back to the dance studio for training.
Jiang Jingchen, who wanted to take his wife on a date, was furious!
Tang Beibei rubbed her stomach and frowned. She was so full that she just wanted to take a nap.
However, the captain had already asked so it would be inappropriate if she didn’t show up.
Jiang Jingchen snatched her phone. “Hey, hubby, what are you doing with my phone?”
“Turning it off. Just pretend you didn’t see Fu Jin’s message.”
“But I saw it.”
Jiang Jingchen lifted her chin and lowered his head to kiss her eyes. Tang Beibei closed her eyes subconsciously.
“I’ve bewitched your eyes, they’ve lost their memory.”
“…???”
The corners of Tang Beibei’s mouth twitched as she reached out to rub his cheek. “Hubby, it’s not good to lie to yourself or others.”
Jiang Jingchen said with an aggrieved expression, “I’ve already come out with you, and now you want to ditch me for dance training?”
“Um…” Tang Beibei scratched her head indecisively. Seeing that he was holding her hand, she quickly covered her eyes.
“I didn’t see anything.”
It was true that childishness was contagious.
Jiang Jingchen held back his laughter and kept her phone in his pocket. Then, he saw the woman pretend to look for her phone.
“Hey, hubby, have you seen my phone?”
“Nope. Let’s go have some fun.”
“I’ve already lost my phone, so I can only have some fun. Hubby, where are we going?”
Jiang Jingchen took her to the arcade. She hadn’t had enough fun the last time and they had the whole afternoon now.
Jiang Jingchen also discovered that his little wife was very competitive when she played games. She must win the game she was playing, or she wouldn’t leave.
From motor racing, car racing, music box to shooting games, she would tirelessly play each game six or seven times.
Seeing a group of girls surrounding the claw machine, Jiang Jingchen asked her, “Do you want to go catch some dolls?”
“Nah. What’s so fun about dolls? Give me a few pieces of cloth and I can make all kinds of dolls.”
“When I was young, I made my own dolls. The dolls in the claw machine aren’t that nice. Hubby, if you like them, I’ll make one for you when we get home.”
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. From this alone, he could see that his wife was different from ordinary girls.
“What do we play next?”
“3D obstacle challenge. I read the introduction. The player who clears all obstacles and reaches the finish line will be rewarded with a doll that is bigger than a person.”
Jiang Jingchen walked up to the game introduction panel. He thought that she could say all that because she didn’t like the tiny dolls in the claw machine but big ones.
“Then let’s play this.”
To play this game, one had to put in 20 tokens at a time. Moreover, the game was very difficult, and no player had reached the finish line the entire afternoon.
A staff member put on the VR headset for Tang Beibei.
Challenges were explained to the players on their VR headsets and what players saw was also duplicated on a big screen on the wall. The players had thorns in their bodies. To up the experience, staff members would prick the players with tiny thorns to make the virtual experience more real.
As players ran through the forest, a fierce lion suddenly rushed in front of them.
Spectators who were watching the big screen all felt their hearts skip a beat as they let out low cries of fear.
Jiang Jingchen also looked at his wife worriedly, worried that she would be scared.
Another player beside Tang Beibei kicked her feet in an attempt to escape. She even let out an ear-piercing scream as her entire body twisted.
The staff members also wickedly moved a feather on her body and touched her with furry toys to make her feel as though the lion was really close to her. That player took off her VR headset in fear as she dodged in fear.
Per the rules of the game, taking off her VR headset meant that she had lost the game.
Tang Beibei, who was still in the game, casually picked up a green vine from the ground and played with it as she continued to walk forward.
When the lion rushed in front of her, not only was she not afraid, but she even looked the lion in the eye and tried to touch its ears.
The spectators outside were horrified. This girl actually wasn’t afraid of wild beasts. So scary!
The lion seemed to be surprised as well. It opened its mouth and revealed its sharp teeth, like it was going to eat her.
Tang Beibei calmly strangled the lion’s neck with the vine. There were thorns on the green vine, so she deliberately wrapped it around the lion’s head to hurt its eyes.
The lion was all tied up and in pain as it tried to escape.
“Oh my god, what kind of mental makeup does this girl have?”
“She’s not afraid at all?”
“Maybe because she knows that it’s a game. Let’s see. 50 to 60 players have tried the game this afternoon and no one has won.”
The spectators discussed.
In the game, the lion ran away while Tang Beibei continued to walk forward.
She had to go through the forest, past the cliff and a dangerous castle, to arrive at a small wooden cabin by the creek. If she retrieved the doll from the small wooden cabin, she would be the winner.
Throughout the entire process, the staff members would create all kinds of thrilling experiences for her.
However, Tang Beibei in the game didn’t seem to have any senses. She continued walking until she came to the small wooden cabin.
The cabin was locked. After thinking for a few seconds, she went to find two pieces of wood, broke the lock, and entered the cabin.
However, after the door of the cabin was opened, she saw that it was full of snakes and the little doll that players were supposed to retrieve was in the middle of the snake den.
The spectators gasped. Those with ophidiophobia covered their eyes in discomfort when they saw the scene.
There were even people who scolded the game designer for designing such a scary scene, which made the game totally not suitable for children!
Jiang Jingchen was worried too. With so many scary scenes, wasn’t his little wife scared at all?
In the game, Tang Beibei took a step back and walked around the cabin. It was impossible to go in and get the doll. The cabin was a snake den.
A countdown notification sounded in the game.
There was only one minute left. If she still could not succeed, the system would throw her out of the game.
The crowd broke out in a cold sweat for Tang Beibei. They all thought that she would fail..
