The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

Chapter 144: Because You Are Involved With Her Crush

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

Kuan Qi was curious about the skincare products that Jiang Jingchefi bought for Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei answered her question, “Something Bei’. I didn’t pay close attention to the brand but since it’s bought from the hospital, it should be something good.”

“Something ‘Bei’?”

Ruan Qi was still curious. Girls generally couldn’t say no to skincare products. If she bought them at the hospital for only about too yuan, it’s cheap and good – very cost-effective.

“Then please take a photo for me when you get home. 1’11 go to the hospital and get a set too.”

“Sure thing!”

Tang Beibei was more than happy to share the good stuff with her best friend.

When they arrived at the dance studio, someone saw Tang Beibei and Fu Jin walk in together and their unfriendly eyes started shooting daggers.

When they walked into the dance studio, the teacher had already started the class.

The three of them joined the class at the back.

Today, they were learning a classical chair dance, which emphasized on the flexibility of the dancer. The movements looked soft, but they required strength control. The movements looked simple on their own but it s quite a challenge to perform a series of them with fluidity and charm.

Fu Jin was trained in classical ballet. He naturally had form and flexibility, but he lacked charm.

Tang Beibei, on the other hand, had good control. She was already dancing well after a short training session. Fu Jin decided to stand behind her and watch her dance.

Ruan Qi looked at him in confusion. “You’re not learning with us?”

Fu Jin nodded. “I’m the captain. I don’t have to learn.”

“… Good for you.” Ruan Qi grumbled while standing on one leg, swaying left and right.

After class, Tang Beibei massaged her calves. She hadn’t practiced for a long time and her legs were cramping.

Fu Jin brought over two bottles of water, gave one to Ruan Qi and the other to Tang Beibei. When he saw Tang Beibei massage her calves, he asked worriedly, “Are you hurt?”

“No, it’s just that I’ve been standing for a long time and my legs feel a little campy.”

Tang Beibei smiled and accepted his water. She thanked him and took out a few sweets from her pocket.

“Would you like some sweets? Energy replenishment…”

“Yes.”

Fu Jin smiled and took two sweets from Tang Beibei’s palm.

Tang Beibei stood up and gave the remaining sweets to Ruan Qi.

Her casual action didn’t look insignificant to the other team members.

How shameless of Tang Beibei to seduce Fu Jin with just a few sweets? Did she think that they were playing house in kindergarten?

Ruan Qi stuffed a sweet into her mouth and noticed the strange stares at Tang Beibei. She scratched her head helplessly.

Of course, Ruan Qi knew that her best friend didn’t think much of her action. Tang Beibei probably felt that since Fu Jin gave her a bottle of water, she should return the favor by offering him some sweets.

However, other people were not as innocent as Tang Beibei.

Ruan Qi tugged at Tang Beibei’s sleeve and reminded her softly, “Beibei, didn’t you say that you wanted to keep your distance from Fu Jin? Don’t get too close with him in the dance studio again.”

Tang Beibei realized what she had done and saw the other students staring at her strangely, which was not a good sign.

She quickly nodded. “You’re right. I have to be more careful.”‘

At this moment, the teacher clapped his hands and told everyone that break was over, and they should continue training.

The teacher said, “I think Tang Beibei danced quite well. Your movements were on point. Keep up the good work. As for the few of you who had practiced a few more hours, don’t fall behind.”

The team members who had practiced for a few more hours looked at Tang Beibei coldly with even more disdain.

Tang Beibei scratched her head awkwardly at the sudden praise.

She had been practicing classical dance since young and had a strong foundation. She felt slightly awkward when she was suddenly praised.

After two more hours of training, everyone’s clothes were drenched in sweat. They ended the day’s training with stretching.

The last stretch was done in pairs. Ruan Qi wanted to partner with Tang Beibei, but a classmate beside her held her hand.

“Ruan Qi, let’s pair up.”

Ruan Qi couldn’t reject her classmate’s invitation, so she partnered with her for the last stretch.

Meanwhile, Ye Lan walked up to Tang Beibei and said, “Beibei, let’s pair up!” “Alright!”

Tang Beibei did a front split first and Ye Lan corrected her posture. However, no matter how hard she corrected Tang Beibei, Tang Beibei showed no expression. Ye Lan was frustrated.

Next was the side split.

Ye Lan tried to straighten Tang Beibei’s back by putting her knees on her back. She pressed hard to straighten her back.

Tang Beibei frowned but endured the pain.

“Beibei, just bear with it. You have to stretch this far.” Ye Lan said with a smile.

Tang Beibei forced a smile.

A few minutes later, it was Ye Lan’s turn to do the front split. Tang Beibei pulled her leg forward and made her straighten her body. Ye Lan cried out in pain.

Obviously, Ye Lan, who was good at jazz dance, was not as flexible as her.

Tang Beibei said seriously, “Ye Lan, bear with it. Once your hip flexors open, you’ll be fine. Hang in there.”

Ye Lan endured the pain. Her eyes were red, but she still sucked it up and refused to admit defeat.

Tang Beibei was also calm. She pressed down slowly on Ye Lan as she did the side split. Ye Lan resisted, but Tang Beibei pressed down harder.

Tang Beibei told Ye Lan sternly, “Ye Lan, hang in there. Don’t push against me or you won t be able to relax your muscles.”

Ye Lan looked at Tang Beibei and suspected that she was taking revenge.

Tang Beibei noticed her gaze and revealed a kind and cute smile.

Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows after witnessing everything.

She didn’t expect Tang Beibei to be so tough that she would go up against the vice-captain, Ye Lan.

“Ouch…”

Ruan Qi yelped as someone pressed down on her. She was in so much pain that she began to doubt her life.

“Ruan Qi, please be more serious.” That student said.

Ruan Qi looked at the student. It was Xi Tong, a girl who was close to Ye Lan.

Ruan Qi gritted her teeth. This b*tch was torturing her. She was not someone to be bullied!

After the relaxation exercise, Tang Beibei saw that Ruan Qi was sitting still and pulled her up. Ruan Qi chuckled softly.

“You were pretty ruthless when you helped Ye Lan deepen her stretch just now. i saw her limping when she got up and walked away.”

Tang Beibei glanced at Ye Lan and said in a low voice, “The strength she used to press on me wasn’t little either.”

“She already has a grudge against you because you are involved with her crush.”

Tang Beibei was stunned. ’’Who am I involved with? How do 1 not know?”

Seeing how nervous she was, Ruan Qi couldn’t help but want to laugh. “I’m talking about Fu Jin. Silly Beibei, who asked you to give him sweets?”

Tang Beibei felt wronged. She couldn’t just reject the water that Fu Jin offered her, right?

They were classmates who met almost every day. She felt it strange that she had to draw the line at accepting his water. Not only would Fu Jin feel awkward, but she would also feel strange.

So, she returned two sweets to him. Did she do something wrong?

Seeing her conflicted expression, Ruan Qi laughed in amusement. “This thing is really hard on you. Just try your best to avoid contact with Fu Jin, in case it invites unnecessary trouble.”

“I know.”

Tang Beibei nodded obediently and asked if Ruan Qi would like to go home with her and that she could give her a ride.

Ruan Qi waved her hand no. “I’ll have dinner and then come back to practice some more.”

Tang Beibei also wanted to practice more but she had to go home to have dinner with her husband. Besides, she didn’t have much time to practice at night. She still had books to read.

Ruan Qi’s eyes glazed over when she heard Tang Beibei mention those thick professional books. She told Tang Beibei to go home quickly and leave her spinster friend to fend for herself here.

Tang Beibei chuckled and stuffed all the snacks into Ruan Qi s bag.

“Don’t go hungry. I’m leaving now. Video call you tonight.”

Ruan Qi hugged her arm happily. “Gosh, you’re the best.”

Tang Beibei walked out of the dance studio and saw Song Zhou standing outside the car. She said goodbye to Ruan Qi and got into the car.

Fu Jin, who was standing in his office on the second floor, stood by the window and watched the woman get into the car. He looked down at the two sweets he was holding and the corners of his mouth curled up.

It was true that drinking poison to quench thirst was lethal.

But it was addictive..
