Tang Beibei wanted to study. After teasing her for a while, Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to disturb her anymore and started working on his phone.

Song Kai managed to get some information from Jiang Minglang about a cross-province renewable energy project, known as Project G.

If Jiang Corporation took part in this project, not only would their reputation be boosted, but they would also make a lot of money. Therefore, Jiang Xing paid special attention to this project.

He planned a grand birthday banquet for himself mainly because he wanted to build relationships with various potential partners with whom he could work with on Project G.

How could Jiang Jingchen let Jiang Xing have his way?

Jiang Jingchen contacted Yang Hao and asked him to hijack the project, but the project required a lot of upfront investments; only big companies could afford to take it on.

Most of Jiang Jingchen’s business was overseas. He owned a few companies in China which were doing well but they were all relatively new and didn’t have the manpower or the capital to take on Project G.

He asked Yang Hao to contact Wen Sang, the future successor of the Wen Family.

The Wen family kept a low profile and Old Master Wen was always recuperating from some illness. The direct descendants of the family were all living overseas. Now that Old Master Wen was seriously ill, the successor of the Wen family had returned to the country to slowly take over the family business.

Securing Project G would be a very important priority for the successor of the Wen family.

Jiang Jingchen contacted Yang Hao to tell Wen Sang not to contact him directly in future because it made his wife unhappy.

“I can give up a business deal, but 1 can’t make my wife unhappy.”

Yang Hao was so baffled that he wanted to laugh. “So we will not do business with any potential business partner who’s a woman?”

“You can’t say that. Wen Sang bypassed you and contacted me directly this time. It’s inappropriate. It’s your fault, so you have to take responsibility.” Yang Hao retorted angrily, “Don’t you know very well why Wen Sang did that? You’re too charming, and girls like you. But you put the blame on me?”

As the successor of the Wen family, managing the family’s businesses overseas was akin to developing foreign markets.

Jiang Jingchen had indeed interacted with Wen Sang several times before, but it was always over the phone. They had never met in person. However, it was unknown whether Wen Sang knew that he was the first young master of the Jiang family.

Because at that time, Jiang Jingchen always wore his mask with facial scars and deliberately hid his identity as the first young master of the Jiang family. Who would have thought that the woman remembered him after only a few conversations?

Yang Hao continued, “You promised to help Wen Sang keep an eye on Wen Nan. Didn’t you do that because you have feelings for her?”

“It’s a matter of mutual benefit. There’s no feelings to speak about.”

Jiang Jingchen continued, “My wife took a bullet for me. She values me more than her own life. How can 1 make her sad?”

“Then you must really treat your wife better. Don’t play with fire.” Yang Hao said.

Jiang Jingchen sighed. “You may not understand this kind of thing as a singleton. After all, you do spend a lot of money for female company. You won’t know what it’s like to have a woman who is completely devoted to you.”

Yang Hao was stunned speechless.

“My wife is also very cute. She will discuss anything with me and is especially easy to coax. Oh, she also studies. She is especially good at studying medicine.” “Song Zhou’s wound was bleeding non-stop. She went to find some Chinese herbs to stop the bleeding. The doctor said that Song Zhou was very lucky as those herbs saved his life. My wife isn’t even a doctor yet, but she’s already a little cutie who saves the world.”

Yang Hao rolled his eyes in frustration.

The man, who used to be quiet, was now going on and on about his wife. He was not stingy at all when it came to using positive adjectives on his wife. What show-off!

“I can’t bear to make my cutie wife sad. Yang Hao, 1 beg you to be a human being. If another female business partner contacts me and causes trouble in my relationship, I will settle the score with you. If I suffer, you can forget about getting married in this lifetime!”

“… F*ck!”

Yang Hao was so angry that he cursed. Could the cutie of the Jiang family please take this man’s phone away?

Stop showing off already!

Jiang Jingchen wasn’t angry when he received no reply from Yang Hao. He simply ended the call, put down his phone and kissed his little cutie.

His little cutie was very obedient. She kissed him back and asked him what was wrong.

Jiang Jingchen said with a smile, “I’m thirsty. I need to kiss you to quench my thirst.”

Tang Beibei laughed. How was kissing thirst-quenching? “Go get yourself a glass of water then. I’ll drink with you.”

Tang Beibei studied medicine and drank a lot of water every day. In contrast, Jiang Jingchen didn’t care about these things. When he was working, he only drank coffee to keep himself alert. How could he remember to drink water?

She often reminded him, but even then, he might not drink it.

Often, she would pour herself a glass of water, take a sip, and then give the rest to him.

Jiang Jingchen fetched a glass of water and gave her a sip. He didn’t drink from the glass. Instead, he kissed her to snatch the water from her mouth.

Tang Beibei reminded him helplessly, “I’m injured, and my body isn’t in good condition. My immune system is compromised. It won’t be good if we got the kissing disease.”

Jiang Jingchen was stunned.”… What’s kissing disease?”

“Kissing disease, professionally speaking, is infectious mononucleosis, a disease transmitted by contact with infected saliva. It’s caused by the EB virus, which is a member of the herpes virus family.”

“Are you hinting that I should get tested?”

“No, you’re in good health, but I’m recovering from my injury, and I should be tested. You like to kiss me so much. If you get infected, you’ll be very uncomfortable.”

The woman spoke in a serious and professional manner.

Jiang Jingchen laughed in exasperation. He was flirting with her, but she lectured him with medical theories.

He pinched her cheeks. His cute wife who had finally gained some weight had gotten thinner since her injuries.

Tang Beibei had to go back to school on Friday because that was when she would have her first paper of the final exams.

Jiang Xing’s birthday banquet was on Friday afternoon, and Jiang Jingchen had planned to attend.

In the morning, Jiang Jingchen called Fu Jin over to the hospital and asked him to drive the girls to school.

When Fu Jin arrived, even though he had good manners, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Jiang Jingchen.

It was all because Jiang Jingchen was taking so long. He wanted to help Tang Beibei check her bag and make sure that she had brought everything. He kept reminding Tang Beibei to quit the exams if her arms hurt. She could always wait until next year to take the make-up exams.

Tang Beibei shook her head with a smile. She didn’t want to take the make-up exams because she wouldn’t get a scholarship that way.

Jiang Jingchen was so angry that his heart hurt. If he had known, he wouldn’t have pretended to be poor. Tang Beibei was being so hard on herself because of that scholarship.

“Alright, Hubby. I’ll do my best for every paper. Don’t worry.”

Did Jiang Jingchen care about her results?

No, he didn’t care at all. He was just worried that she would force herself to take every paper even when she didn’t feel well.

However, Tang Beibei insisted and could not be persuaded. He could only let her go.

Tang Beibei got into the car and said goodbye to him. Jiang Jingchen sat in his wheelchair for a long time before he went back to the hospital.

When it was almost time, he went to Song Zhou’s ward, changed into Ji Yi’s clothes, and left the ward.

He went downstairs and drove to a restaurant. After entering the restaurant, he went into a private room and then into another private room through the window. Yang Hao was eating inside.

He then changed into Yang Hao’s bodyguard’s clothes and left with Yang Hao to attend Jiang Xing’s birthday banquet.

Bodyguards were not allowed to enter the banquet venue, so Yang Hao had to go in first.

Jiang Jingchen was wearing glasses and a mask. He was leaning against the car when he saw Song Kai. He whistled at him.

Song Kai volunteered to help with the banquet. He was preparing drinks in the kitchen while waiting to bring a chef in.

When he saw Jiang Jingchen, he was stunned for a few seconds. He asked the staff to get him a chef’s uniform.

He took the uniform and threw it to Jiang Jingchen as he lectured, “You’re so late. If you screw up tonight, I’ll deduct your salary!”

Jiang Jingchen held the chef’s uniform speechlessly..
