The next day, when Tang Beibei came downstairs, she saw Wen Nan busy in the kitchen and hurried over to help.

Wen Nan smiled and asked her to sit down and wait for breakfast. She was almost done.

Tang Beibei felt embarrassed. “Dr. Wen, I’m sorry to trouble you to make breakfast.”

Wen Nan smiled and waved her hand. “I used to make breakfast for Mr. Chen.

It’s a small thing. I don’t mind.”

Tang Beibei was curious. “You made breakfast for Jiang Jingchcn?”

“Yeah, I’m his personal physician and I’ve lived with him. Didn’t Mr. Jiang tell you?”

Wen Nan looked into Tang Beibei’s eyes. Most women would be angry if they heard that their husband had lived with another woman, right?

However, Tang Beibei wasn’t most women. She shook her head and said, “Thanks so much for taking care of my husband, Dr. Wen.”

Tang Beibei’s words sounded like a first wife’s taunt to Wen Nan. The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. “It’s my pleasure. I heard that Miss Tang is also studying to become a doctor. You go, girl!”

“Yes, I will!” Tang Beibei made a victory gesture with her fist.

Tang Beibei had school today.

Jiang Jingchcn was going to send her to school but Wen Nan suggested that he should stay home for his physiotherapy.

When she heard that he had physiotherapy, Tang Beibei quickly stopped him, “Hubby, please do your physiotherapy. Song Zhou can send me to school. I’ll send you a message when I arrive at school. Keep it up.”

Jiang Jingchcn said helplessly to Tang Beibei, “Just ‘keep it up’? No other forms of encouragement?”

Tang Beibei stole a glance at Wen Nan. Jiang Jingchcn had always asked to kiss her before she went to school before today and she never resisted. It had become a ritual that warmed her heart, like someone was waiting for her to come home.

But with an outsider around, she felt embarrassed to go through the ritual. Instead, she patted Jiang Jingchcn’s shoulder in a brotherly manner as a form of encouragement.

“Good luck. I’ll make you something delicious when I’m home.”

Tang Beibei ran away without waiting for the man to speak. Jiang Jingchcn was left not knowing whether he should be angry or tickled.

Wen Nan looked at the smile on Jiang Jingchcn’s face and secretly clenched her fists, but she said with a smile, “Miss Tang is really cute.”

Softness grew in Jiang Jingchcn’s eyes as he said, “My wife is very cute indeed. Dr. Wen, Beibei is my wife. It would be better if you call her Mrs. Jiang in future.”

Wen Nan tsked once and joked, “Don’t you hate the surname Jiang? Now you’re lecturing me. If you want me to change my address, I should call her Mrs. Chen.”

Jiang Jingchcn understood what she meant. “Mrs. Chen is fine too.”

Wen Nan was so angry that she almost choked, but she kept the calm smile on her face. “Mr. Chen, since I’m going to stay here for a while, I don’t want your wife to feel uncomfortable. It’s better that we be more casual. I wouldn’t be able to bear it if your wife is so formal with me every day.”

Jiang Jingchcn thought about Tang Beibei. Perhaps because she was a medicine student, she was very respectful of doctors and that was the reason she was overly formal with Wen Nan.

“Being more casual is fine. My wife is still young and she’s working hard to become a doctor. Please help her where you can.”

“Sure, I’m more than happy to do that. It’s not a bad thing to make friends.”

Wen Nan said with a smile, but she knew how she felt deep down.

At school, Tang Beibei sent Lu Fan a message after two classes and asked him to meet her.

She wanted to talk to him about breaking up. She couldn’t let others gossip about them being a couple because if this matter blew up, it would make Jiang Jingchcn sad.

Lu Fan replied that he had something to tell her too, so the two of them arranged to meet outside the school library.

Outside the library, Tang Beibei saw that Lu Fan had already arrived, but there was a woman standing beside him.

It was Yuan Jiaojiao.

Puzzled, she called out to Lu Fan. Lu Fan nodded and turned to look at Yuan Jiaojiao.

Yuan Jiaojiao lowered her head and walked up to Tang Beibei. “Tang Beibei, I’m sorry. I was too rash last time when I did those things to you. I apologize.”

Tang Beibei took a step back, wondering why Yuan Jiaojiao would apologize to her willingly. What game was she playing?

“If you are sincere about apologizing to me, you should write a letter of apology.” Tang Beibei said.

Yuan Jiaojiao lowered her head and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes. She had already lowered herself to apologize to Tang Beibei and she still wanted a letter of apology? She must be daydreaming!

Seeing that Yuan Jiaojiao was silent, Lu Fan reminded her coldly, “Yuan Jiaojiao, is that too much to ask? A little of apology?”

“I’ll do it.”

Yuan Jiaojiao was prepared to be humble and agreeable in front of Lu Fan just so she could rectify her bad image in Lu Fan’s mind.

“Since you’re willing to write it, you might want to set things up. I want a hard copy letter.”

“Sure,” Yuan Jiaojiao replied through gritted teeth.

In her heart, she was thinking, Tang Beibei, you b*tch, let’s see how much more you can show off in front of Lu Fan.

“Then I’ll go write the apology letter, Lu Fan.”

“Okay. Yuan Jiaojiao, don’t do such a stupid thing again.” Lu Fan warned.

“I won’t. I know I was wrong.” Yuan Jiaojiao felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.

“You may leave now.”

Lu Fan responded perfunctorily without looking at her. Yuan Jiaojiao held back her anger and left.

Tang Beibei asked Lu Fan in confusion, “Senior Lu Fan, why would Yuan Jiaojiao apologize to me willingly?”

“She must have reflected on her behavior and realized that she was wrong, so she asked me to contact you so she could apologize.”

“Oh.” Tang Beibei still felt that it was strange but she didn’t want to waste time guessing Yuan Jiaojiao’s intentions.

“Senior Lu Fan, the matter about us being a couple ends here. I don’t want people to gossip about us anymore. If anyone asks, let’s just tell them that we were kidding.”

Lu Fan frowned. “Is it because of your crippled husband?”

“This has nothing to do with him. I’m a married woman. Naturally, I can’t have a relationship with anyone else.”

Tang Beibei wanted to ease the tension, so she continued with a smile, “Senior Song Kai was just trying to help me, and I’m grateful for that. However, I didn’t think the method through and caused trouble for Senior Lu Fan. I’m sorry.”

She then bowed to Lu Fan apologetically.

Lu Fan quickly held her shoulders. “Beibei, you don’t have to apologize.

Actually, I have something to ask you too.”

“What about?”

“The person you married is the disabled Jiang Jingchcn from the Jiang family?”

“How did you know?”

Tang Beibei was surprised. She had never mentioned her husband. “Did Ruan Qi tell you?”

“Don’t worry about how I know. Just answer me. Why did you marry him?”

When Lu Fan found out, he was furious so he couldn’t help but ask, “Tang Beibei, Jiang Jingchcn is a sick man. It is rumored that he will not live for more than six months. Moreover, his position in the Jiang family is awkward. If he dies, you will not get any share of the family inheritance as his widow!”

Tang Beibei looked at him in shock and felt a little disappointed. “Senior Lu Fan, do you think that I married Jiang Jingchcn for his money?”

“That’s not what I meant. I just, I just feel that he’s not worthy of you at all!” Lu Fan explained anxiously. He felt sorry for her for marrying that kind of man.

What made him even angrier was that she did things her own way and did not say anything when she was in trouble.

If she told him, he would definitely help her.

“I’m already married. There’s no point talking about worthiness. Senior Lu Fan, I’ve said everything I need to say. I’m taking my leave now.”

Tang Beibei turned to leave, but Lu Fan grabbed her wrist and sighed helplessly as he resigned himself to his fate.

“Tang Beibei, why are you so stupid?” he asked her.

“What? Senior Lu Fan, why are you scolding me!”

Tang Beibei felt indignant. Did Lu Fan launch a personal attack just because he couldn’t win an argument?

How was she stupid? She was such a good student!

“Everyone else can see that I like you except a fool like you.. Aren’t you stupid?”
