Chapter 470: His Narcissism Is Too Much!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio | Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei received a message from Jiang Jingchen, asking her which classroom she was in. She sent him her location.
“Hubby, are you in school already?”
“Yes.”
Tang Beibei looked out the window curiously but didn’t see anyone. She looked back at the teacher on the podium.
However, she couldn’t curb her curiosity as she looked outside again.
She searched for a while but still couldn’t see Jiang Jingchen. She propped her
chin in disappointment.
They had only been apart since morning, but she already missed him.
She heard someone moving behind her but thought that it was a classmate changing seats. She ignored it and continued to look out the window, hoping to find Jiang Jingchen’s tall figure.
“Obedient Beibei, stop looking. I’m here.”
When she heard the familiar voice, she turned around abruptly and saw the
man who slept beside her every night.
He was wearing a trench coat and had a mask on. He even had a bouquet of
flowers in his hands.
The bouquet was very colorful and consisted of wildflowers often found by the roadside.
He wrapped the bouquet in plastic and it looked beautiful.
“Here.”
He shove the bouquet into her hands, as if he was afraid that she would not
accept it.
Tang Beibei looked at the flowers and smiled sweetly. She scooted to the side and Jiang Jingchen immediately sat beside her.
“When did you arrive? I didn’t even see you.”
“I didn’t come in through the main gate. I came in via the side gate.”
There were no wildflowers near the main gate. The side gate was more remote near a small patch of grassland with wildflowers and weeds.
Tang Beibei held the bouquet as she said, “The flowers from my husband smell so good.”
She stared at the flowers like a child who had just received her favorite candy;
she looked very adorable.
“Tang Beibei, your family member has joined us for a lecture again. Come, I
have a question for him.”
The teacher on the podium then said, “Tell me about the function of the
spleen.”
Jiang Jingchen was tall and stood out from the crowd. When seated, his posture was upright and his back was straight. This might have something to do with his habits. He simply exuded elegance.
Therefore, he was particularly eye-catching among a group of students.
The teacher could easily pick him out from the crowd.
When Jiang Jingchen heard the teacher refer to him as Tang Beibei’s family member, he was delighted and wanted to stand up, but Tang Beibei stopped him.
Tang Beibei stood up and said, “I’m sorry. Jiang Jingchen isn’t a student here.
He doesn’t know about this. Let me answer.”
“In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen’s main role is to control the circulation of blood and qi. The main function of the spleen is to digest, absorb, and transport food.”
She was very professional and gave a textbook answer that top students would give.
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and stood up. “In Western medicine, the spleen is the largest lymphatic organ and is an important part of our immune system. It screens the blood and removes any old or damaged red blood cells. If the spleen doesn’t work properly, it may start to remove healthy blood cells, weakening our immune system.”
“It’s just like how I would feel sick all over without my wife. She’s more important than my spleen.”
“Woohoo!”
Some boys applauded his confession while the girls felt envious and jealous when they saw how the new CEO of Jiang Corporation was so devoted to Tang Beibei and expressed his affection for her out loud.
Tang Beibei looked at the man in surprise. “You know all that?”
Jiang Jingchen nodded indifferently. “Isn’t that common medical knowledge?”
“Then the last time you answered the teacher’s question with nonsense, you did it on purpose!”
Jiang Jingchen realized that he had exposed himself. He quickly looked for ways to salvage the situation and pointed at her book. “I glanced at it just now and remembered it.”
“Is that so?” Tang Beibei asked doubtfully.
The seemingly simple woman suddenly became so wise. Jiang Jingchen’s head hurt. He quickly changed the subject and said, “Teacher, did I answer wrong? The teacher said with a smile, “No. You answered right but you and your wife are really interesting. However, our internal organs are equally important. We can’t favor one organ over another. Jiang Jingchen, you mustn’t play favorites.”
“… I won’t, Teacher.”
The teacher was warning him not to be play favorites and be devoted to Tang Beibei.
When the school bell rang, the teacher announced that class was over. Jiang Jingchen carried a bag to the podium.
His legs were long, so he got to the podium with just a few strides. The girls all stared at him unblinkingly.
This was what a tall, rich, and handsome man should be like!
Jiang Jingchen, however, seemed to be used to the staring. He calmly handed a bag of wedding candies to the teacher.
“Teacher, please bring this back and share it with other teachers in the office.
Thank you for supporting Beibei last time.”
The teacher looked at the red candy bag Jiang Jingchen was holding. He accepted the bag with a smile.
“I would like to taste my student’s wedding candy too. Thank you for being so thoughtful.”
Jiang Jingchen replied respectfully, “Beibei is a student here. I should thank the teachers for taking care of her.”
“‘Taking care’ is too polite a term. She’s our student, so she’s our child. It’s our duty to protect her.”
The teacher left with the bag of candies. Jiang Jingchen then opened another bag of wedding candies and started distributing them to the students. Tang Beibei’s classmates who received the wedding candies also congratulated them.
However, a few girls surrounded him and refused to leave. They found all sorts of excuses to talk to him. Jiang Jingchen took two steps back to keep his distance from them. He then handed the bag to Shen to help distribute the candies to the remaining students.
Jiang Jingchen turned his head and saw Tang Beibei, who was doing her homework at her desk and walked up to her.
“What are you writing?”
Tang Beibei couldn’t pretend anymore when she saw him. She blushed and asked him in a low voice, “Why didn’t you tell me that you bought wedding candies? I was caught off guard.”
“I bought them on the way here. Candies are only interesting if they are a surprise. Here’s yours.”
Tang Beibei saw him open his hand and there was a candy. She took it with a smile.
“Why is there only one? Where’s yours?”
“I’m not eating.”
Tang Beibei frowned. “Since it’s our wedding candy, how can you not eat it? She quickly got up and grabbed a handful from the bag Shen was holding. Shen looked at her and said, “Tsk, Tang Beibei. Why are you snatching the candies your husband bought?”
“I also want to eat the candies my husband bought.”
Tang Beibei quickly stuffed the candies into her pocket, as if someone would snatch them away.
Her classmate Shen was speechless.
Tang Beibei gave the man a candy. “Wedding candy is only interesting if we eat them together.”
Jiang Jingchen took it happily, unwrapped it and fed it to her.
“I’ll give you my candy.”
Tang Beibei shook her head and pointed at her pocket seriously. “Hubby, there are a few more in my pocket. You can have this. I can unwrap my own candy.”
Jiang Jingchen, whose romantic gesture failed, twitched his mouth helplessly. Seeing that he was still holding the candy, Tang Beibei didn’t want him to be angry and lowered her head to eat it.
“Mmm, it’s delicious.”
Returning the favor, she unwrapped another candy and fed it to him.
“Hubby, here’s yours.”
Jiang Jingchen ate the candy. It was chocolate-flavored and tasted quite nice. The two of them left school and drove to Fu Jin’s dance studio.
Tang Beibei scrolled through her phone as they drove. When she saw news about Jiang Corporation, she asked in confusion, “Hubby, how did you become the chairman of Jiang Corporation?”
Jiang Jingchen said casually, “Luck, 1 guess. Jiang Xing is sick and I’m the only one in the family who can get things done. Capable people are always rewarded with more work.”
Tang Beibei was puzzled. “I thought Jiang Xing didn’t like you. Why did he let you manage the company?”
“Maybe because I’m handsome,” Jiang Jingchen said with a smile.
His narcissism was too much!
However, she still had a very curious question.. “Hubby, do you get paid more as the chairman?”
