After two days of rest, Ruan Qi’s condition improved significantly. The two girls still had classes to attend so it was time for them to go home.
However, Ruan Qi and Song Zhou still decided to register their marriage in M-Country before they went home.
To register a marriage abroad, one needed to go through the procedures to confirm one’s identity. This procedure usually took one or two weeks, but with Han Yun’s help, their marriage certificate was issued quickly.
Ruan Qi waved her marriage certificate happily in front of Tang Beibei.
“Beibei!”
“Look, I’m married!”
Tang Beibei was happy for her. “When you graduate from university, you’ll have a child and a husband.”
“Yes, I feel like I’ve reached the peak of my life!” Ruan Qi was so excited that she wanted to jump for joy. Song Zhou quickly held her with a face full of worry.
“Babe, please take care of our little one when you reach the peak.”
“I’m fine.” Ruan Qi said calmly.
Song Zhou was anxious. He held her waist firmly and coaxed her softly, “I’m not fine!”
“My heart beats faster when I see you walk fast, let alone when you jump.”
Ruan Qi smiled and jumped on purpose to kiss him on the cheek. “Is your heart still beating faster?”
“Yes.”
Song Zhou couldn’t help but laugh like a fool.
“Don’t worry, my big baby. Our little one isn’t so vulnerable.” Ruan Qi patted him on the shoulder heartily to reassure him.
However, the heartier she was, the more nervous he got.
Before they went home, Han Yun played host and invited them to lunch.
At a restaurant inside a five-star hotel, Tang Beibei gulped as she watched the dishes being served.
These were the legendary exotic delicacies!
They looked delicious.
When all the dishes were served, Han Yun picked up his chopsticks and told them to make themselves at home. Ruan Qi and Song Zhou were grateful for his invitation and said a few polite words.
Tang Beibei didn’t know how to say polite words on such occasions, but she ate quite well.
Han Yun looked at the speed at which the woman picked up her food and wanted to laugh. “Old Jiang, look at your little wife. She’s easy to take care of. You must fatten her up. She’s too thin. It’s better for a girl to be slightly chubby.”
Jiang Jingchen scooped a bowl of soup for his wife and said, “My wife is a dancer and can’t afford to get fat. You don’t have to worry about this. If you have the ability, hurry up and find yourself a woman.”
Han Yun felt a toothache. “So what if you have a wife? I’m just too lazy to find one.”
Jiang Jingchen pursed his lips in disgust and didn’t answer him.
Han Yun, the first young master of the Han family, could have any woman he wanted. However, he had yet to find a woman he really liked.
However, the culture was more open overseas. It wasn’t strange for a man in his thirties to be unmarried. The parents here also wouldn’t pressure their children to get married, so Han Yun did not feel much pressure.
“Old Jiang and Song Zhou are both younger than me, so I’m like their big brother. This is the first time I’ve met you, and it’s quite rushed. According to our customs, I must give you a greeting gift.”
Han Yun took out two boxes. He handed one to Tang Beibei and the other to Ruan Qi.
“Open it and see if you like it.”
Tang Beibei was curious and opened her box to look. It was a jade bracelet. Every bead was green and beautiful.
“What a beautiful bracelet. Thank you.”
Seeing that she was happy, Han Yun also laughed and said, “This bracelet has a bead engraved with your name. Try to find it.”
Tang Beibei searched but couldn’t find it. Jiang Jingchen helped her.
Jiang Jingchen told her, “In order to preserve the aesthetics, the engraved bead is turned inwards. Someone who isn’t the owner of the bracelet won’t even discover it.”
Tang Beibei was amazed. “Thank you, Mr. Han. What a thoughtful gift.”
She secretly asked Jiang Jingchen, “Is this expensive?”
Jiang Jingchen looked at the bracelet’s packaging and said, “It’s not expensive. It’s not like they are diamonds. Han Yun’s family has a lot of jade beads. Moreover, his family is in this business. It’s at most a hundred or two.”
“Oh, I’m worried that if it’s too expensive, I can’t accept it.” Tang Beibei said carefully.
Han Yun’s mouth twitched when she heard Jiang Jingchen’s nonsense.
That bracelet was one of a kind. It was made with top-notch jade that had been treasured for hundreds of years. The bracelet was worth twelve million!
He had the nerve to say at most a hundred or two?
Did Jiang Jingchen’s conscience hurt?
Ruan Qi opened her box. It also held bracelets.
However, hers seemed to be made of diamonds and it was a couple bracelet. “They are so sparkly. They can’t be real, right?” She asked Song Zhou softly. Song Zhou picked up the female bracelet and put it on her. “Nothing that Mr.
Han gives is fake. These are real diamonds.”
Ruan Qi covered her mouth in shock. “Then they must be expensive!”
Song Zhou said, “It’s his family business. He can get them at internal prices, which are usually much lower than market prices. These two bracelets have our initials on them. Mr. Han wants to wish us a lifetime together.”
Ruan Qi thought to herself that even with internal prices, these still cost a lot of money.
However, the bracelets were engraved so she definitely could not return them.
She was very grateful to Mr. Han.
Han Yun really admired the two men for lying through their teeth.
That diamond bracelet was a one of a kind designed by one of his designers.
However, the meaning of the bracelets was quite like what Song Zhou said.
To have and to hold.
“Don’t mention it. We’re all friends. I’m glad you like the gifts.”
In Han Yun’s mind, they were all friends and there would be give and take.
When he had his own woman, they would definitely give her a greeting gift.
Their gifts would only cost more, so he wasn’t worried at all.
After lunch, Han Yun sent them back to capital city on a private jet.
The inside of the private jet was very spacious. Not only was there a television, but there were also beds to rest in.
“I can’t believe that I have the pleasure of enjoying such a luxurious plane in my lifetime.” Ruan Qi sighed.
Song Zhou chuckled. If she wanted to fly in one, he could arrange it for her anytime.
However, she was pregnant now and should avoid travelling.
Tang Beibei leaned back on the massage chair and could not help but say,
“Indeed, the happiness of the rich is beyond the imagination of the poor.”
Jiang Jingchen asked, “You’re happy just because you’re in a massage chair?” “Yes!”
Jiang Jingchen said, “I’ll buy you one when we get back!”
Tang Beibei asked him doubtfully, “Hubby, your pay isn’t a lot. Buying a chair like this will cost you several months of your salary. Forget it.”
Jiang Jingchen thought about his salary and his teeth hurt.
With a salary of just a few thousand yuan a month, it would take him more than a few months to buy this massage chair.
It would take him more than ten years of his salary to buy a massage chair.
Tang Beibei added, “Hubby, Mr. Han doesn’t look down on us even though he’s rich. His speech and manners are both good. He’s a good person.”
Jiang Jingchen wasn’t happy to hear her praise another man. “You’re quite good at finding other people’s strengths.”
Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. “Don’t praise me. That’s my only strength, hehe.”
Jiang Jingchen was so angry that he choked on the blood he was about to throw up.
Was he complimenting her?
No, he was being sarcastic!
However, this little woman obviously didn’t get it.
It was still afternoon when they returned to their villa in capital city. Tang Beibei yawned but didn’t dare to rest. She went to the hospital to treat Madam Wu.
Madam Wu’s condition was still good. Tang Beibei took her pulse and took notes.
She reminded her again to keep a regular schedule, keep a good mood and eat light. She shouldn’t drink sugary beverages, and she should drink more hot water.
Madam Wu listened to her nagging and could not help but sigh. “Why aren’t you my daughter, Beibei? I have a son. Why don’t you divorce your husband and date my son?”
“No matter what, my son is the eldest son of the Qu family. He will inherit the family assets in the future and you will have a good life.”
Jiang Jingchen, who was sitting outside the ward, gritted his teeth in anger when he heard Madam Wu’s words.
He put in so much effort to drive his little wife here to treat her, but she wanted to steal her away from him and make Tang Beibei her daughter-in-law.
How preposterous!
