Chapter 44 - 44: Afraid My Wife Won’t Want Me If I’m Too



Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Early next morning, as the morning light filtered through the windows, the curtains were pulled open and the gentle rays of sunlight fell on the man’s exquisite face.

Jiang Jingchen, without his human mask, raised his head slightly to feel the warmth of the sun as he listened to Song Zhou’s report from behind him.

“I got someone to mess with Lu Fan last night and caused him some light injuries. But he later ended up in bed with Yuan Jiaojiao. I believe the young madam will find out about this today.”

“That Yuan Jiaojiao bullied my wife before?”

Jiang Jingchen retracted his gaze and closed the curtains. The study room instantly darkened, and his handsome face was hidden in the shadows again.

“Yes, she was the person who spat into young madam’s bowl at the school cafeteria.”

Song Zhou shuddered at the thought of that disgusting scene.

“I’ve also investigated her. She was born into an average family. Her parents are ordinary white-collar workers, but this woman is vain with expensive taste. She often hangs around rich second-generation heirs, hoping to hook a rich husband so she could move up the social ladder. She has her eye on Lu Fan.”

“Women like her are like leeches. Once she found the chance to cling on to Lu Fan, it would be difficult for Lu Fan to escape.”

Song Zhou suddenly sympathized with Lu Fan for being leeched on by a disgusting woman like Yuan Jiaojiao.

Jiang Jingchen’s lips curled up, and his black eyes were cold. “If we kill a woman like her, we’d be helping the kid. But if we don’t kill her, she’d be a disaster.”

“Song Zhou, what do you think is the best way to destroy someone?”

Song Zhou replied, “Of course it’s to inflate their ego. Young Master, what are you saying?”

Jiang Jingchen glanced at Song Zhou nonchalantly. “When they are

over-inflated, they would naturally explode.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.”

Jiang Jingchen put on his human mask, which was a skin-like, thin plaster pasted on his face. No one could see through the disguise unless they examined his face medically.

“Wait, Song Zhou. Before I recover, I can’t let my wife know that I’m rich.”

“Why?” Song Zhou was puzzled.

Was it so shameful to be rich that he couldn’t even let her know?

When Jiang Jingchen recalled how serious Tang Beibei was when she planned their future last night, the coldness in his eyes melted under the warm sunlight from outside the window.

“I’m afraid that my wife won’t want me if I’m too rich.”

Song Zhou was speechless. In his heart, he thought that the young master was overthinking. Who didn’t like money?

  • ? ?
  • At school…

    As soon as Tang Beibei entered the classroom, Ruan Qi grabbed her to sit in the last row.

    Ruan Qi comforted her. “Beibei, don’t be sad. I don’t think Senior Lu Fan is that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding.”

    Tang Beibei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m not sad. I’m just surprised that Senior Lu Fan is with Yuan Jiaojiao.”

    Tang Beibei was woken up early in the morning by Ruan Qi’s phone call. Ruan Qi told her that Lu Fan had gotten into a fight with a group of people in a bar last night and was injured. Later that night, Yuan Jiaojiao posted a photo of her in bed with Lu Fan on her WeChat Moments.

    Ruan Qi asked her to be mentally prepared because she was afraid that Tang Beibei would be upset by it.

    Tang Beibei was not upset at all. Senior Lu Fan told her that he liked her yesterday and then slept with Yuan Jiaojiao in the night. It was obvious that his confession yesterday was a joke.

    His confession that made her feel awkward for a long time…

    Ruan Qi stared at Tang Beibei suspiciously. “You don’t have any feelings for Lu Fan at all?”

    “Nope.”

    “Oh.” Ruan Qi’s face was filled with pity. “I thought that maybe after your sickly husband died, you would be with Lu Fan. I didn’t expect Senior Lu Fan’s flower to be stuck in cow dung now. Sigh, that lunatic Yuan Jiaojiao has won the lottery.”

    “My husband won’t die. Professor Chen said that he can be treated. Moreover, there are doctors treating him now. They also said that he will likely be cured.”

    Tang Beibei’s thought process was also weird.

    She only paid attention to the things that she cared about. She would ignore all things that she felt were irrelevant to her.

    Only God knew when she interacted with Lu Fan if she was simply being cold, or she didn’t sense his feelings toward her.

    In any case, Lu Fan was irrelevant to her in her mind.

    Therefore, it was not her business who he wanted to be with. Besides, she felt that it was not good to gossip about others.

    However, at the mention of her husband, Tang Beibei couldn’t help but smile.

    But her smile disappeared when she thought about last night.

    He kissed her until she was almost out of breath before he let her go reluctantly. In the next second, he turned away from her in bed with his back facing her.

    She asked him worriedly what was wrong, but he told her to leave him alone for a while.

    He must have been very sad at that moment. His wife was by his side, but he couldn’t be intimate with her.

    She was a medical student. Although she blushed easily when it came to sex, she knew a little.

    Impotence could easily make a man feel inferior.

    After class, the two of them were ready to go to the cafeteria.

    “Tang Beibei, I have something to say to you. I’ll buy you guys lunch.”

    Tang Beibei frowned unhappily at Yuan Jiaojiao who suddenly blocked their way. The thought of Yuan Jiaojiao spitting into her bowl made her feel disgusted all over again.

    “If you have something to say, just say it.”

    Yuan Jiaojiao crossed her arms and was extremely smug. “Are you sure? It’s about Lu Fan.”

    “If you don’t want to say it, we’ll leave.”

    Tang Beibei couldn’t be bothered with Yuan Jiaojiao. She pulled Ruan Qi along to walk around Yuan Jiaojiao but was blocked again by Yuan Jiaojiao’s arm.

    “Tang Beibei, you’re jealous of me. That’s why you don’t want to see me, right?”

    “Huh?” Tang Beibei exclaimed as if she had just heard a joke. “Why should I be jealous of you?”

    “Because I’m with Lu Fan, and we’ve even slept together.” Yuan Jiaojiao said proudly.

    Ruan Qi sneered. “Pigs also mate with each other. What’s there to be jealous about? Yuan Jiaojiao, go somewhere else, don’t be an eyesore here!”

    Yuan Jiaojiao was enraged when she heard Ruan Qi call her a pig. She raised her hand and slapped Ruan Qi.

    “Ruan Qi, don’t think that I don’t know that you have a crush on Lu Fan. You just can’t stand seeing me with Lu Fan! But let me tell you, the woman Lu Fan likes is me!”

    Ruan Qi covered her face in shock. She also wasn’t someone to be bullied. She raised her hand and retaliated.

    “Yuan Jiaojiao, how dare you slap me? I’ll kill you!”

    Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds when she saw the two of them fighting. When she recovered from her shock, she walked up to Ruan Qi without hesitation, pulled Yuan Jiaojiao away and gave her a kick.

    She could endure it if Yuan Jiaojiao bullied her, but she wouldn’t tolerate it if Yuan Jiaojiao hit her friend!

    Yuan Jiaojiao crashed into the wall and cried out in pain. Her hair was messy and there were scratches on her face. She looked terrible.

    She touched the back of her head and pointed at Tang Beibei as she cried.

    “Tang Beibei, are you picking a fight with me?”

    Ruan Qi didn’t expect Tang Beibei to act so decisively. When she heard Yuan Jiaojiao’s angry roar, she straightened her back, rolled up her sleeves, and walked in front of Tang Beibei.

    “You were the one who hit me first. You just had a one-night stand with a man, and you came here to gloat. Even if Lu Fan is the emperor, you can’t be the empress after sleeping with him once. At most, you are a one-night whore! You still want to fight? Alright, come on!”

    “Ahhhh, I’m going to kill you!”

    Yuan Jiaojiao was furious after being scolded. She just wanted this annoying woman to shut up.

    Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei looked at each other. They didn’t want to cause trouble either, but Yuan Jiaojiao had gone too far, and the two of them were no pushovers.

    They each grabbed one of Yuan Jiaojiao’s arm and pinned her against the wall. Ruan Qi then raised her hand and slapped Yuan Jiaojiao in the face.

    “Yuan Jiaojiao, if you are so good, ask Lu Fan to come save you. Idiot!”

    “What are you doing? Fighting in school? How dare you!”

    A teacher who had just finished class passed by and shouted angrily at Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei to let go.

    Yuan Jiaojiao saw that someone was here to save her and struggled with all her might. She shook off Ruan Qi and Tang Beibei and hid behind the teacher, crying miserably.

    “Teacher, teacher, they bullied me and even beat me.. Save me, save me!”
