Tang Beibei didn’t play mobile games. She couldn’t understand the game that
Jiang Jingchen was playing.
A message suddenly popped up on the game interface.
“Winner winner chicken dinner!”
She asked curiously, “Hubby, what does that mean?
“Good luck! Chicken dinner tonight!”
Tang Beibei raised her eyebrows. “Eh? How did you know I wanted to eat chicken?”
“… Let’s eat chicken if that’s what you want.”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled, kept his phone, helped her up, and held her hand to leave.
“Hubby, what game was that?”
“The Chinese version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The objective is simple. The last player standing is the winner.”
Tang Beibei said a few oh’s, but she was still confused.
She just wanted to get his attention so he would ignore the woman behind them.
“Brother Jingchen, aren’t you going to introduce us?
Wen Sang caught up with them and prompted with a smile.
Tang Beibei heard the woman address her husband so affectionately.
Brother Jingchen.
She glanced at Jiang Jingchen. He also liked it when she called him Brother Jing, but she felt that it was too corny and would only call him that when she needed to please him.
But she was a little unhappy to hear another woman call him something so intimate.
Before Jiang Jingchen could speak, Tang Beibei said with a smile, “I’m Jiang Jingchen’s wife, Tang Beibei. How do I address you, pretty lady?”
Wen Sang sized Tang Beibei up quickly and smiled. “I’m Wen Sang, Brother Jingchen’s childhood friend, sort of his childhood sweetheart. Right, Brother Jingchen?”
“Childhood sweethearts, huh?”
Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen.
She had been wary of his female BFFs, but a childhood sweetheart had popped
up now.
“Miss Wen, you’re so beautiful. Why are you with my husband?
Jiang Jingchen looked at how his little wife wasn’t giving him any chance to speak and decided to see how things would turn out.
“I invited Brother Jingchen to dinner and he said that he wants to bring you along. Sister-in-law, do you have any dietary restrictions? I’ll make a reservation now.”
Tang Beibei’s expression softened a little when she heard her address her as sister-in-law.
But Wen Sang was older than her, so it felt weird to hear her call her sister-in-law.
Jiang Jingchen said, “My wife wants to eat chicken. I heard that there’s a restaurant that serves Specialty Big Plate Chicken nearby. What else do you want to eat?”
Tang Beibei told him, “No sour food, please.”
Green plums, a Chinese metaphor for childhood sweethearts, were sour. Jiang Jingchen held back his laughter and played along rubbing her little head, “Okay, I’ll get you something sweet. Cake and ice cream.”
Wen Sang’s mouth twitched when she heard the woman say that she didn’t like the taste of green plums.
She was quite direct. Wasn’t she afraid of making others uncomfortable?
Her EQ. was really low.
The three of them went to the nearby Specialty Big Plate Chicken restaurant and Jiang Jingchen went to find ice cream for Tang Beibei.
Wen Sang ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to Tang Beibei. Tang Beibei was reading her notes, which she took out from her schoolbag when no one was looking, when Wen Sang handed her the menu.
“Are you buying dinner?” Tang Beibei asked.
-Of course. Sister-in-law, please don’t stand on ceremony. Order whatever you like.”
When Tang Beibei heard Wen Sang call her sister-in-law again, her wariness dropped. She really didn’t stand on ceremony and ordered three more dishes. After she passed the menu back to Wen Sang, she began to revise her notes and even closed her eyes to recite softly.
Wen Sang wore a strange expression when she saw Tang Beibei studying at the dinner table in a restaurant.
“Miss Tang, you’re quite serious about your studies. You don’t even take a break when you’re having dinner.”
When Tang Beibei heard her call her Miss Tang, she noted that Wen Sang only called her sister-in-law in front of Jiang Jingchen.
She explained with a smile, “If I study a bit now, I’ll be able to keep my husband company later. He’ll be angry if I neglect him.”
“Haha.”
Wen Sang pursed her lips. She had a feeling that Tang Beibei was telling her to stay away from Jiang Jingchen.
“I told Brother Jingchen that we’ll going ice-skating after dinner. Sister-in-law, are you interested?”
Tang Beibei was surprised and stunned for a few seconds.
“Ice-skating? I’m interested.”
“Convince Brother Jingchen to go ice skating later. If you don’t know how to, Brother Jingchen can teach you.” Wen Sang said with a smile.
“Sure.”
Tang Beibei then stopped talking and focused on studying. She only put her notebook away when Jiang Jingchen came back. Jiang Jingchen bought a chocolate and a vanilla ice cream. He said, “The shop opposite is having a promotion. Buy one ice cream and get one free. Obedient Beibei, here you go.”
“Thank you, hubby!”
Tang Beibei took the chocolate ice cream.
Wen Sang looked at Jiang Jingchen expectantly as she waited for him to give her the vanilla ice cream.
Jiang Jingchen took a bite of the vanilla ice cream and said, “Miss Wen, do you like ice cream? The promotion is quite attractive. You can get another set.”
Wen Sang gritted her teeth. Did the first young miss of the Wen family need to save a few yuan on ice cream?
What she needed was for him to offer her the other ice cream!
The three of them had dinner. Tang Beibei ate very seriously and Jiang Jingchen picked up food for her. The two of them seemed very happy, their appetites unchanged despite there being another person.
Wen Sang, who bought dinner, felt that everything was tasteless.
After dinner, Tang Beibei said to Jiang Jingchen, “Hubby, are we going ice-skating?”
Jiang Jingchen frowned slightly and turned to look at Wen Sang, who smiled. “Sister-in-law is interested in skating. I know a good place. I’ll take you there.” Jiang Jingchen looked at Tang Beibei. “Do you want to ice skating?”
“I do.”
She did not want her husband to go ice-skating with another woman, so she must go!
“Then let’s go.”
If his wife wanted to skate, he was happy to be childish!
Wen Sang knew that Jiang Jingchen would only agree if Tang Beibei asked. She felt a lump in her throat.
When they arrived at the skating rink and put on their protective gear, Jiang Jingchen saw Tang Beibei’s clumsy movements and squatted down to help her. “Didn’t you say that you’ve skated before? You’ve never worn these?”
“No, it feels weird wearing them.”
It cost extra to rent protective gear where Tang Beibei used to skate.
Tang Beibei stood up and stomped her feet. She was standing steadily and Jiang Jingchen quickly held her.
“If you don’t know how to skate, I’ll teach you.”
“Alright, hehe.”
She held his hand and slowly walked into the skating rink.
Wen Sang walked up to the two of them and grabbed Tang Beibei’s arm, urging her to follow her.
“I’ll hold you. Don’t be afraid. Control your center of gravity. It’s fun.” “Then I’m in trouble. I, I haven’t skated for a long time. I’ve lost touch.” Tang Beibei held on tightly to Jiang Jingchen and refused to let go.
Wen Sang looked at their tightly held hands and a cold light flashed in her eyes. She said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, if you keep holding on to Brother Jingchen, you’ll never learn. The fun of ice-skating is to glide by yourself.”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Tang Beibei let go of Jiang Jingchen’s hand and tried to move by herself. Jiang Jingchen protected her from behind.
Ice-skating learners usually couldn’t balance themselves at first and fell a lot. He was worried that she would hurt herself.
However, Tang Beibei maintained her center of gravity well and could walk forward by herself. After taking a few steps, she glided forward steadily for a while.
Wen Sang went up to her and grabbed her hand. “Sister-in-law, I’ll take you for a ride so you can get the feeling back.”
“Alright.”
Tang Beibei arched her back to balance herself and glided along with Wen Sang.
Wen Sang was obviously very skilled and she moved fast. To ordinary beginners, her speed was meant to put pressure on Tang Beibei. After circling the rink once, Wen Sang suddenly swung her hand and let go of Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei couldn’t control herself and glided forward uncontrollably..
