Chapter 236:1 Admit It, I Do Like You

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

Tang Beibei went to the school library and took out her document to be translated and her laptop.

However, she found a note on her laptop.

“Translated. Please proofread, dear wife.”

She opened the document folder in surprise. The translation had indeed been completed. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

Her husband was too amazing. She had been working at it for days, but he had completed the translation in one night.

No wonder he woke up a little late this morning. He had stayed up late last night.

She was touched and quickly checked the translated document.

After she was done, she printed the translated document and sent a message to Jiang Jingchen.

“Done with proofreading. Thank you for your hard work, hubby. I’ll cook you a big dish someday as a reward.”

Jiang Jingchen replied, “Obedient Beibei, you are the nourishment to my soul. I’ll be very happy if I can have more of you.”

This man was really… Tang Beibei laughed.

“I’ll let you have more when I get home. Stop teasing me. When have 1 ever stopped you when you wanted me?”

“Good girl,” Jiang Jingchen replied.

Tang Beibei smiled and went to Professor Chen’s office to give him the document.

But she didn’t see Professor Chen in his office, but Song Kai was there.

He was holding his laptop. He was probably there to consult the professor about his thesis.

He was a good student and often helped Professor Chen with things. He had already written several medical papers that had been published in reputable academic magazines.

“Beibei, are you looking for Professor Chen? He received a call earlier and went to the hospital.”

“Oh, then I’ll come by another time.” Tang Beibei didn’t want to have too much contact with Song Kai.

What happened last time was Lu Linlin’s fault, but Song Kai was the trigger, so she felt a little disgusted.

“Beibei, I’m sorry.”

Song Kai chased after her and stopped her. “1 would like to treat you and Ruan Qi to a meal.”

“No need, Senior Song Kai. I don’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It’s better for us to keep a distance.” Tang Beibei retreated and kept her distance from him. She was still afraid that someone would see them together and find trouble with her.

“Beibei, do you hate me?” Song Kai’s eyes were slightly red.

“It’s not hate. I’ve just learned my lesson. 1 almost died last time!”

Song Kai closed his eyes and wanted to apologize. He was really sorry.

He hated the Song family and wanted to take revenge on them, but he never wanted to get anyone killed.

Lu Linlin trampled on his bottom line and tore apart his conscience. He didn’t want to kill her, so he tortured her until she went crazy.

“I know it’s useless no matter how much 1 say, but I’ve brought you harm. Beibei, I swear on my life that I will help you without hesitation whenever you need my help.”

Tang Beibei looked at him in surprise. He made a very serious promise that she didn’t dare to accept.

“Anyway, it’s better for both of us if we keep a distance. Bye.”

“Beibei, are you avoiding me because you found out that that I like you?”

“No.” Tang Beibei saw him move and took two more steps back.

Song Kai felt her resistance and stopped. He clenched his fists and said solemnly, “Beibei, I admit it. I do like you. There were a few times I wanted to tell you in the second half of my first year, but 1 changed my mind after learning that Lu Fan also liked you.”

“I also thought that I would pursue you after 1 take over the Song family.”

“But things happened, and I was caught off guard.”

Tang Beibei heard his voice trailing off, as if he was fighting against the injustice of fate. But he was also like an egg hitting a rock in this fight and the whole thing was a joke.

When she heard him admit that he liked her, she was still a little lost.

“Senior Song Kai, you… Why do you like me? I…I…” She never felt that she was worthy of anyone’s admiration. Song Kai was such a great guy. There was no reason for him to like her, right?

When Song Kai saw her brows furrowed in confusion, the dark clouds in his heart dissipated a little.

“You’re very good. You smile makes people happy. Also, you are occasionally silly and cute, which drew me to you.”

Tang Beibei replied, “Oh… In any case, thank you for your admiration but I’m married.”

Song Kai forced himself to smile but his smile was weak and bitter. “Yes, I know.”

What he meant to say was that he would not pester her anymore.

Tang Beibei heaved a sigh of relief and waved goodbye to him with a smile. “Then, take care, Senior Song Kai.”

Song Kai watched her walk away before he turned around and went back to the dormitory to pack his things. He told his roommate that he was going home for his internship and to call him if there was anything in school.

Song Kai carried his school bag and went back to the Song residence.

When he walked into the living room, he saw Old Master Song and his uncle, Song Yang, sighing.

Without having to ask, he guessed that they were worried about finding Song Hai.

He politely greeted his grandfather and uncle. Song Yang looked at him in annoyance. Song Kai was only valued because his son had gone missing. How could he feel happy about seeing Song Kai?

“Song Kai, you must perform well when you go to work at Song Enterprises.” Old Master Song said.

Old Master Song absolutely disliked Song Kai. He even suspected that Song Hai’s disappearance was caused by Song Kai’s bad luck.

However, his daughter, Song Yan, had been persuading him not to be superstitious. She also told him that with Song Hai gone, the Song family name couldn’t just end there. They needed a successor.

Although the old master hated Song Kai, he would not let the Song family name end. He would make sure that the Song family name lived on.

Letting Song Kai work at Song Enterprises was an act of desperation.

“I’ll work hard. I’ll definitely do well for Song Enterprises, Grandpa.” Song Kai said respectfully.

He had always kept a low profile and behaved sensibly and politely with the Song’s so no one could nitpick with him.

Song Kai went upstairs, put down his bag, and looked around his room. He found a small surveillance camera on his bookshelf, and the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain.

He lived on campus and did not return to the Song residence often. He could easily guess who would put such a thing in his room.

But whoever it was, he didn’t care.

Because he would take over Song Enterprises one day.

If he was forced into a corner and couldn’t take it over, he would just destroy it.

At Jiang Corporation, Jiang Jingchen looked at the time. It was knocking-off time.

He spent his day writing Tang Beibei’s dance performance script. To be on the safe side, he had sent it to his friends for review and had adjusted the script based on their feedback.

After some back and forth, the script was finalized. He packed his things to leave work.

Song Zhou saw him pack up and without hesitation, he stood up to help him get his coat.

The two of them walked to the elevators and realized that everyone was looking at them. They pretended that nothing happened and walked into an elevator.

After the elevator doors closed, Song Zhou said, “Young Master, Old Master Jiang’s birthday is coming soon. He’s going to hold a birthday banquet and it’s quite grand. What shall we get him?”

Jiang Jingchen tapped his forehead and said, “Well, let me think about what kind of special gift 1 should get him.”

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up. “Meanwhile, let’s spend some time to find out what Jiang Xing cares about.”

Destroying something he cared about should be a very special birthday gift, right?
