Lu Linlin restrained her emotions and quickly walked up to Song Kai.

She smiled and said, “Song Kai, let’s have dinner together.”

Song Kai turned around and saw Lu Linlin, and his face turned cold. “Sorry, I’m busy.”

Seeing him leave, Lu Linlin chased after him without hesitation.

“Song Kai, you’ve already agreed to our engagement and 1’11 help you get Song Enterprise. We’re partners. You don’t have time to have dinner with me, but you have time to chat with another man’s wife?”

Song Kai was annoyed. “Lu Linlin, you said it yourself. This is a partnership.

I’m not your servant and don’t have to listen to you.”

Lu Linlin was angry at him for being so cold to her.

She was the young miss of the Lu family who had always been served, pampered and spoiled. She had never suffered such grievances.

But since she fell in love with Song Kai, her self-esteem seemed to have been trampled on.

“Song Kai, since it’s a partnership, there should be give and take. I’m not a fool. We are getting engaged and you are not doing anything. You think you can just use me to get Song Enterprise? There’s no free lunch in this world.”

Song Kai looked at the woman in surprise. It seemed that he had underestimated her.

However, when he thought about what she and Song Hai had done to Rong Chan’er, he felt that he had made a mistake.

How could she send her own friend to a bastard and allow that b*stard to harm her? She even used that bastard to seduce Tang Beibei. How could such a woman be innocent and sweet?

When he thought about this, he admired the woman he liked even more.

Although she was in an abyss and it was dark all around, she still faced the sun. She was strong and brave. She gave out warmth like the sun whenever she smiled. Just looking at her from afar was a pleasure.

He then looked at the pedestrian woman in front of him, who looked repulsive.

“Alright, let’s have dinner. Where are we going?”

Lu Linlin was happy to hear that he was willing to have dinner with her. She smiled and held his arm.

Song Kai frowned and stepped back to avoid her touch.

However, Lu Linlin held his arm tightly and said, “Dear, since we’re going to act, we have to act the whole way. If we don’t pretend to be in love, my father and grandfather won’t believe me and let us get engaged.”

“…” Song Kai endured it.

Tang Beibei got in the car and felt that the atmosphere wasn’t right. She looked at Song Zhou in confusion.

Song Zhou didn’t dare to say anything and quickly started the car.

Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Jingchen’s unhappy face and cold eyes. She tried to snuggle against him and said with a flattering smile, “Hubby, 1 thought you weren’t coming to pick me up today.”

“If I didn’t come and pick you up, wouldn’t you have run away with another man?”

The man’s deep voice was cold and sarcastic.

“No, I would never. 1 have happy news to share with you today. Ruan Qi and 1 both passed the interview!”

Jiang Jingchen looked at her bright smile, and his boiling blood cooled substantially.

He asked her, “Did you also share your happy news with Song Kai? Was that why you two were chatting so happily?”

“No, he was in a bad mood. He told me some things about his past, and I comforted him. We weren’t chatting happily. When 1 heard his story, 1 was quite sad.” she said honestly.

His father’s death was already very sad, but his mother committed suicide out of remorse. That must have been a huge blow to Song Kai.

“Are you sad for him?”

Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth. This Song Kai was a real troublemaker. He was about to get engaged to another woman, but he was acting pitiful in front of his wife.

Bastard!

“A little.”

Tang Beibei nodded frankly and said, “Actually everyone has their own unhappy things. Song Kai has them and so do I. But 1 can’t help him. He can only face those things by himself. He has to accept them and work at them. As long as he has hope for the future, everything will become better.”

Tang Beibei was a little talkative when it came to facing difficulties. She continued, “Hubby, let me tell you. When 1 was bullied in the past, do you know how 1 vented?”

Jiang Jingchen looked at her curiously. “Dance?”

Tang Beibei waved her hand no. “Rong Mei’er forced me not to dance, so 1 almost never danced during the day. 1 usually found a place to dance secretly at night.”

“I just go and do my homework.”

“I wanted to do my homework well and be a better student than Rong Mei’er. However, 1 didn’t dare to tell anyone about my good grades until 1 showed them during my college entrance examination. Hehe, I’m quite smart, right?” Jiang Jingchen frowned. Although she said it with a smile, he felt sad for her.

When she was bullied, she didn’t dare to resist or take revenge. Instead, she endured the bullying and went to do her homework. She wanted to become better than them, but she couldn’t show it. She could only show them all during the college entrance examination.

How could he be angry at his silly-looking wife? He only had heartache for her.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. “My Beibei is so smart. You hid your talents, developed them and waited for the right moment to reveal them.”

Tang Beibei laughed at his praise and snuggled up to him.

“I think so too. After all, we can’t choose our origins. We can only work hard. However, I think God has been good to me when I met you.”

“Yes, God has been good to you.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. God had also been good to him when he met such a beautiful sunflower.

Although they hired a private chef to cook at home, Tang Beibei wanted to cook to celebrate.

Auntie Lin, the cook, was helping her but she was very surprised to see Jiang Jingchen wheeling himself into the kitchen to help.

“Mr. Jiang, the kitchen is smoky and oily. Why don’t you relax outside.”

“No problem. 1 can help my wife with simple chores.”

“I’m here to help her. You…”

“Why don’t you go out? 1 will help her.” Jiang Jingchen ordered Auntie Lin to leave the kitchen.

Auntie Lin did not dare to disobey. She walked out with a frown.

When she was in the living room, she saw Wen Nan and greeted her with a smile. “Dr. Wen, why didn’t you stop Mr. Jiang from going to the kitchen?”

Wen Nan had a helpless look on her face. “If he wants to go in, how can I stop him? It’s not like you don’t know Mr. Chen’s temper. Sigh.”

Auntie Lin glanced at the kitchen and felt that it was a sin to let the honorable Jiang Jingchen help in the kitchen. How ignorant of the young madam! She had never heard of a man helping with such small domestic matters.

Wen Nan looked at Auntie Lin’s expression and said, “Perhaps Beibei is still young and ignorant. The kitchen is a woman’s place, but she let Mr. Chen in. Perhaps she wants Mr. Chen to see her handle every small domestic matter.” Auntie Lin felt disconcerted. Didn’t Mr. Jiang marry a wife to take care of him? How could she let Mr. Jiang do things for her instead?

When dinner was ready, Wen Nan did not go to the table but left instead. Auntie Lin was puzzled and asked her why.

Wen Nan sighed uncomfortably. “Beibei doesn’t like me eating at the table when she cooks. She doesn’t want to share her food with others. Auntie Lin, don’t worry. I’ll make something for myself after they finish eating.” “Since we’re living together, we should eat together. How can we not share?” Auntie Lin frowned.

“I can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to make myself unwelcome here. No matter what, she’s Mrs. Jiang, and I’m just a nobody doctor. Auntie Lin, don’t worry about me. Go and serve them.”

Auntie Lin went to help with a sullen face. She was even more annoyed when she saw Jiang Jingchen putting food into the woman’s bowl during the meal without a word of thanks from her..
