While having breakfast, Tang Beibei stole a glance at the man next to her, thought about her morning and blushed.

Last night when she tried to help him to bed, she accidentally knocked him over. She quickly got up and only laid down beside him after he settled down in bed.

She reminded herself before she fell asleep to keep a distance from him. She didn’t know how she woke up in his arms.

Fortunately, she woke up first. She quickly went downstairs to make breakfast before he woke up.

Looking at his calm expression, he probably didn’t know that she had buried herself in his arms that night. Phew!

Tang Beibei got ready for school after breakfast.

Jiang Jingchen was wheelchair bound and preferred to stay home, so he asked Song Zhou to drive her.

Tang Beibei waved her hand. “I’ll take the subway. Song Zhou has to take care of you.”

“Let Song Zhou send you to school. I’ll feel more at ease when I know that you’ll reached school safely. I’ll be fine in the villa.” Jiang Jingchen held her little hand.

He was quite reluctant to part with her.

Tang Beibei still wanted to refuse, but Song Zhou said, “Young madam, I’ll take you to school and come back immediately to take care of young master. It’ll be fine.”

Tang Beibei saw their insistence and accepted the offer.

As Tang Beibei got out of the car when they arrived at her school, Song Zhou thought about the attention his young master bestowed on her and suggested, “Young madam, please add me on WeChat. You can call me if you need anything.”

“Sure. Please also let me know if anything happens to my husband.” Tang Beibei took out her phone and added him as a contact.

Song Zhou glanced at her and thought to himself, “My young master is fine. He’s only pretending to be weak to win your sympathy.”

After adding Song Zhou as a contact, Tang Beibei said goodbye to him and went to school.

When she arrived at the classroom, a woman immediately waved to tell her that she had saved a seat for her.

When Tang Beibei saw her good friend Ruan Qi, she smiled and walked over quickly to sit beside her.

“Beibei, you took leave a few days ago. What didn’t you tell me?” Ruan Qi asked worriedly.

There were no secrets between Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi. Tang Beibei replied softly, “I took a leave of absence, went home and got married.”

Ruan Qi’s eyes widened. “Got married? Is this a whirlwind marriage? You don’t even have a boyfriend. Who did you marry?”

Tang Beibei thought of Jiang Jingchen and felt a little embarrassed. “Yes, it’s a whirlwind marriage. He’s the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Jingchen.”

Ruan Qi stared at her in shock. “Beibei, don’t joke with me. The first young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Jingchen? He’s rumored to only have half a year to live. He’s not only ugly but also disabled. How can you have anything to do with him?”

Tang Beibei sighed and told Ruan Qi about how she had replaced Rong Mei’er as the bride. Ruan Qi was so angry that she slammed the table and shouted, “The Rong family is really too much. They have just ruined your life.”

Tang Beibei was afraid that others would hear Ruan Qi, so she quickly covered Ruan Qi’s mouth.

“Qiqi, keep your voice down. I don’t regret any of it. Although Jiang Jingchen is sick, he is kind and treats me well.”

Ruan Qi frowned. “Beibei, are you insane? If he dies in half a year, won’t you be a widow?”

Tang Beibei’s heart ached when she thought that he had only half a year left. She made a fist and said, “I’ll find a way to cure him. I’ll definitely extend his life.”

Ruan Qi looked at her curiously, “Why are you so good to him? Do you like him?”

“No. When the Rongs bullied me, he trusted me without saying a word and even defended me. Qiqi, he’s hurt himself, and when I see him, I think of my own experiences. I feel bad for him.”

Ruan Qi sighed. “You’re already married. When he dies, you’ll still be the first young madam of the Jiang family. You’ll get part of the inheritance. Hey, Beibei, have you slept together?”

Tang Beibei thought about how she had slept in a man’s arms last night and blushed. “Yes, we have.”

“So, when you slept together, did you…” Ruan Qi probed mischievously.

“What?”

Ruan Qi said, “I heard that the first young master of the Jiang family couldn’t use his legs and is impotent. He married you, so does he have any special means to satisfy you?”

“No, no, Qiqi, what are you talking about? I’m sleeping with him so I can take care of him.” Tang Beibei blushed.

Ruan Qi smiled evilly. “You are a married woman yet you can’t do that with your man… What a shame.”

Tang Beibei pinched her face angrily. “Shut up!”

Ruan Qi laughed and teased, “Come on, Beibei, don’t be shy. You’re not even afraid of getting married, so what’s there to be shy about? If he can’t satisfy you, you can help him. What if he feels something and his illness is cured?”

Tang Beibei was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to talk to Ruan Qi anymore. She put her bag between them to keep a distance from her.

During class, Tang Beibei flipped through her thick textbook. Thinking about what Ruan Qi said, she opened the table of contents, hoping to find a way to help him.

After class, Tang Beibei wanted to go to the library to find more information. She wanted to learn more so she could help Jiang Jingchen someday.

Ruan Qi sighed. “Is this the power of love?”

“I have no feelings for him. I just feel that since I’m his wife, I may as well go with the flow. Like the saying about monk ringing the bell as long as he’s a monk.”

Ruan Qi smiled. “If you marry an impotent man, you are a nun.”

“…” Tang Beibei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“Tang Beibei, I heard that you took leave a few days ago. Did something happen?”

A gentle voice suddenly sounded from the front of the classroom.

Tang Beibei looked up and saw the man. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and he was holding a book. He was elegant and his every movement revealed the nobility of a rich man.

Ruan Qi tutted in a low voice. “Beibei, I told you that you have peach blossom luck this year but you didn’t believe me. The department hunk is actually saying hi to you. Tsk.”

Tang Beibei gave Ruan Qi a “stop the nonsense” look and replied, “Senior Lu Fan, I’m fine.”

“That’s good. You know you can tell me if you have any difficulties, right?”

Lu Fan walked over. He was standing against the light, and his tall figure was pleasing to the eye from any angle.

Lu Fan, who was known as the most handsome guy in the medical school, was also a top student with a very good temperament.

“Okay. Thank you, senior.”

“Are you going to the library?” Lu Fan asked.

“Yeah, we are going to the library.” Ruan Qi immediately nodded.

“Then let’s go together.” Lu Fan said as he looked at Tang Beibei.

“Sure.”

Tang Beibei couldn’t refuse.

Ruan Qi waited for Lu Fan to leave before she held Tang Beibei’s arm and said in a low voice, “Beibei, quickly catch the handsome guy. When your husband dies, you can have a second romance. Lu Fan is a top-notch hunk!”

Tang Beibei furrowed her brows. She didn’t like Ruan Qi talking about Jiang Jingchen’s death.

“Qiqi, I don’t have that kind of relationship with Lu Fan. Don’t…”

“I know, I know. You guys are just senior and junior, but you can warm up to each other slowly. Senior Lu Fan seems to treat you differently.” Ruan Qi shared her analysis.

“…”

Tang Beibei couldn’t win the argument, so she quickened her pace to the library.

When they arrived at the library, Tang Beibei went to look for books. She saw a medical book on the top shelf, which was about treatment for patients with disabled legs. But she couldn’t reach it even when she stood on her tiptoes. Suddenly, someone reached out and took the book down.

She turned around and saw Lu Fan standing behind her. She almost bumped into him so she took a step back and leaned against the bookshelf.

Lu Fan, who was now standing in front of her, did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward. With his hands on both sides of her, she could feel his breath.
