The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

Chapter 404: It’s Not Good To Lie, Hubby

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

Tang Beibei finished her breakfast and walked to the door. Sensing a chilly gaze that sent chills down her spine, she stopped walking and asked, “Hubby, do you want to come with me?”

“What for?” He sounded unhappy.

It was Sunday and he was hoping to go on a date with her, but she had to work.

“Come with me to work. Fu Jin said that it’s an easy job today. We’re just helping his friend propose.”

“Propose?”

Jiang Jingchen got up with his coat. It was better to be careful when it came to Fu Jin.

They drove to the dance studio first. Fu Jin briefed everyone about the job today, which was to help someone propose.

He accepted jobs like this, firstly, for the money and secondly, so he could shoot videos of them to increase his dancers’ visibility, so they’d have a strong foundation going into the competition next month.

Next month’s Asian Golden Age Dance Competition, which all fifteen trainees were looking forward to.

Because if they won that competition, they would become popular and get the necessary resources to debut.

Fu Jin gave everyone the program rundown and told them to wear ordinary clothes so as not to arouse suspicion. He also told the girls to try their best to go without makeup to appear inconspicuous.

The mouths of several female trainees twitched.

They were pretty. Was it their fault that they were masters at makeup?

Fu Jin glanced at Tang Beibei, who was wearing a dress. She rarely wore dresses. Today, she was wearing a form-fitting, rose-colored dress. She looked gorgeous and eye-catching.

He pointed at her and said, “Change into something plainer. You look like the bride in this.”

Tang Beibei looked around strangely. “Captain, the bride is going to wear green, right? This shouldn’t affect her.”

Fu Jin’s expression was solemn as he scratched the space between his eyebrows.

“If I ask you to change, go change. Don’t haggle.”

Tang Beibei had no choice but to find Jiang Jingchen so he could help her change into something plainer.

Seeing that Tang Beibei had gone to change, the other trainees also didn’t refute and hurried to change.

Fu Jin was making an example out of Tang Beibei. Everyone knew he and Tang Beibei were close. If Fu Jin had already told Tang Beibei off, they wouldn’t dare to disobey.

Tang Beibei got into the car and said to Jiang Jingchen, “The captain said that my dress is too pretty, and I can’t wear it today. I must go and change.”

Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth. “Fu Jin complimented you?”

“Not really. Let’s go home and change.”

“Can we make it back if we go home now? Why don’t you wear my clothes?”

Tang Beibei tilted her head and looked at his shirt and pants. “Your clothes are a little too big for me, but I can roll them up. But you’ll wear my dress?”

Tang Beibei tugged at her dress. Jiang Jingchen in a dress?

She would really like to see that!

“Hubby, let’s swap clothes.”

Jiang Jingchen poked her forehead. “What are you thinking? I have a set of spare clothes in the trunk. You want me to wear your dress? How dare you?”

Tang Beibei made a face in disappointment and went to the trunk to get his clothes. He drove the car to a remote corner away from cameras and let Tang Beibei change.

She rolled up the sleeves and pant legs, which made the outfit look a little uncoordinated, but still acceptable.

She then pulled her hair up and tied it into a bun. She turned to look at Jiang Jingchen and said with a smile, “Hubby, we look like we are wearing couple outfit when we stand together.”

But she held up her pants. “It’s just that the pants are too loose. They keep falling down.”

She had a slender waist, so of course his pants would be too big for her.

Jiang Jingchen took off his tie and tied it around her like a belt. Tang Beibei’s eyes lit up.

“Hubby, you’re so smart.”

She quickly tied a bow using his tie to make it look prettier.

“Unfortunately, your tie will be creased this way.”

Jiang Jingchen replied nonchalantly, “What’s mine is yours. Don’t mind the details.”

“Alright, I’ll fix it when we get home.”

Tang Beibei smiled. When she saw Fu Jin and the rest come out, she held Jiang Jingchen’s hand and went over.

Fu Jin looked at Tang Beibei’s changed clothes and pinched his eyebrows.

Fine. No one could stop Jiang Jingchen if he wanted to show off his love.

Fu Jin’s plan was for everyone to take the bus to the site of the proposal, and he would pay for their bus fare. He thought that Jiang Jingchen would probably not join them on a bus, so he gave Tang Beibei the address.

Tang Beibei heard that even Fu Jin wasn’t driving and was taking a bus with everyone. She didn’t want to be special, so she patted Jiang Jingchen’s arm and said, “Hubby, you have two choices. You can drive there or take the bus with me.”

Tang Beibei also thought that it was inappropriate for him to take the bus. “It’s faster if you drive there. I’m at work, so I’ll go with my captain. You can also go back to the villa to rest. I’ll find my way home after work.”

Jiang Jingchen held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, “I’m your protector. I’ll be wherever you are.”

Tang Beibei chuckled. “There are so many people with me. Nothing will happen. Hubby, it’s not comfortable to squeeze on the bus.”

“I’m fine as long as you’re by my side.”

Seeing that she was still going to refuse, Jiang Jingchen added, “I’m coming with you. I’ve already turned cow dung for you. Would I be afraid of squeezing on a bus?”

Tang Beibei smiled gratefully when she recalled how the first young master of the Jiang family had helped her do things that most boys were unwilling to do yesterday.

“Alright then, I’ll protect you.”

Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement and hooked the tip of her nose.

“I’m the man here. You’ve already protected me once. It’s my turn to protect you!”

The others looked at the two of them who were whispering with envy.

Xi Tong walked up to them and said with a smile, “Beibei, your husband drove here. I don’t want to squeeze on the bus. Can you give me a ride?”

Another girl came over and said, “Give me a ride too. Beibei. Your husband’s car can take another passenger.”

Tang Beibei shook her head. The girl frowned as she said, “You can’t be so petty. Your husband has a car and you’re going there anyway. Don’t tell me that you’ll give Xi Tong a ride but not me.”

Xi Tong crossed her arms with a smile as she walked closer to Tang Beibei. “Beibei and I are friends. Of course, Beibei will give me a ride, right?”

Tang Beibei realized that they had misunderstood and waved her hand. “It’s not that.”

“My husband isn’t driving there. He’s taking the bus with me, so we can’t give you rides.”

Xi Tong felt like she had been slapped in the face. She asked with an ugly expression, “You have a car, but you still want to squeeze on the bus?”

Was there something wrong with Tang Beibei’s brain? Ventilation was horrible in buses and they had to squeeze with other people on the bus.

Jiang Jingchen raised his hand that was holding Tang Beibei’s hand. “I don’t want to drive. It’s inconvenient to hold my wife’s hand while driving. Do you have a problem with that?”

That lovey-dovey response was too much.

Xi Tong’s mouth twitched as she walked away in disgust.

Tang Beibei had already told them that they weren’t driving, so what could they do? They could only go to the bus stop to take a bus.

When the bus arrived, everyone squeezed onto the bus. Jiang Jingchen held the woman’s hand and walked in but there were no more seats.

He suddenly bent down and whispered something to a burly man. The burly man glanced at Tang Beibei and stood up to let her sit.

Tang Beibei was puzzled, but she let Jiang Jingchen sit.

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. No one took care of his little wife since she was young. She took care of herself and did not understand the concept of ladies first.

After he sat, he pulled her onto his lap.

Tang Beibei asked him, “What did you say to him that he gave up his seat?”

Jiang Jingchen whispered in her ear, “My wife is pregnant and we just came out of the hospital after a pre-natal check-up.”

“…?”

Tang Beibei held her forehead and lectured him. “Stop talking about pregnant women. I can stand. It’s not good for you to lie to people like that.”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t care about that, but he didn’t want to argue with her. “I won’t do it again. Don’t be angry.”

Tang Beibei pulled a long face. “It’s not good to lie, hubby.”

“Yes,” Jiang Jingchen agreed guiltily.

He could no longer keep track of the lies he had told her.

The others looked at Tang Beibei sitting on Jiang Jingchen’s lap with envy.

They also wanted such a thoughtful and handsome boyfriend!

When they arrived at the rehearsal venue, Tang Beibei didn’t know if the heavens were playing a trick on her that she met an “old friend”..
