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

Jiang Jingchen was in the living room when he turned around and didn’t see Tang Beibei.

So, he called out, “Beibei?”

“Oh, coming, coming.”

Tang Beibei put down the umbrella and ran up to him quickly. “Hubby, do you need me for something?”

Jiang Jingchen saw the sweat on her forehead, took out his handkerchief and wiped it off for her before he replied with a question, “Arc you feeling very hot?”

“No, no. Hubby, I’ll get you a glass of water.” Tang Beibei poured him a glass of water. Jiang Jingchen took the glass and took a sip before he handed the glass to her.

Tang Beibei was stunned. “I’m not thirsty.”

But Jiang Jingchen didn’t let go of her hand. He wanted her to drink some water. Tang Beibei had no choice but to take the glass and finished the water in it.

“Hubby, all done.”

Satisfied, Jiang Jingchen let go of her hand and wiped her mouth with his handkerchief.

Wen Nan watched as Jiang Jingchen shared a glass of water with a woman and even considerately wiped the corners of her mouth. Her eyes flickered but her emotions were hard to read.

“Dr. Wen, have some water.” Tang Beibei poured her a glass of water.

Wen Nan thanked her politely, but she didn’t reach out to take the glass of water. Instead, she looked at Jiang Jingchen.

“Mr. Jiang, how about I examine you first.”

“Okay, let’s go to my study upstairs.” Jiang Jingchen also had something to tell Wen Nan, so he brought her upstairs.

Tang Beibei opened her mouth and wanted to say that she would go too, but Wen Nan had already pushed Jiang Jingchen away. She felt a little depressed.

However, she consoled herself that she was the mistress of the house, and what she should do now was to treat Dr. Wen to a good meal.

In the study…

Jiang Jingchen wheeled himself next to the desk and turned around to look at Wen Nan.

“Start my rehabilitation therapy as soon as possible. Do this thoroughly. I might get someone to investigate the medicine you used, so you’d better be careful.”

Wen Nan knew that Jiang Jingchen had already recovered. She nodded with a smile and said, “I know what to do. But Mr. Jiang, it’s really hard to believe that you’d get married and keep the woman by your side.”

Jiang Jingchen had recovered from his illness a long time ago. Wen Nan had been helping him by keeping it a secret all these years. So, the two of them weren’t just doctor and patient. They were also friends and comrades.

Jiang Jingchen’s lips curled up slightly at the mention of Tang Beibei.

“Beibei is my formally registered wife. Of course, I have to keep her by my side.”

Wen Nan was just teasing him, not expecting an explanation. She couldn’t keep the smile on her face, but she would never reveal her true feelings to him.

“Your legs. How about three rounds of treatment?”

“The faster the better.”

Wen Nan frowned. “The faster the better? Are you in such a hurry? Mr. Jiang, is your plan in place?”

“About the plan…”

Jiang Jingchen had returned to the country to find the person who planned his car accident. He wanted to take back what was his and then announce his full recovery!

But now that he had met Tang Beibei, he suddenly changed his mind.

“Your mission is to cure my illness!”

Wen Nan chuckled. “You’ve always been very self-assertive, so I can only cooperate. However, don’t forget what you promised me.”

“Don’t worry. I made you come back so I’ll have a way to help you!”

Wen Nan returned to the country to discuss her terms with him. As for her terms…

Jiang Jingchen wheeled himself downstairs. Wen Nan followed behind him, but she quickly stopped him when she saw that he was about to enter the kitchen.

“Mr. Jiang, the kitchen is smoky and oily. It’s better if you don’t go in.”

“I want to help my wife.” Jiang Jingchen wheeled himself into the kitchen.

Wen Nan was surprised to see Jiang Jingchen go into the kitchen and help Tang Beibei wash vegetables. He even used a kitchen knife.

The man who was as noble as a price in her eyes actually helped a woman wash vegetables and do chores. This Tang Beibei was really capable!

She put on a beautiful smile and walked into the kitchen. “Miss Tang, how can I help?”

“It’s alright, Dr. Wen. You’re our guest. How can I let you work?”

“It’s okay. I’m going to live here for a while. I hope Miss Tang doesn’t mind me.” Wen Nan’s smile was gentle.

“Why would I mind? I’m more than happy to welcome you since you are treating Jingchen.” Tang Beibei said sincerely. “Dr. Wen, why don’t you relax in the living room. It’s messy in the kitchen.”

“Erm…”

Jiang Jingchen didn’t want anyone to disturb their couple time, so he said,

“Wen Nan, please relax in the living room.”

Wen Nan sighed helplessly. “Okay. Since Mr. Jiang has spoken, I can only thicken my skin and be a lazy person. I’ll go relax.”

After Wen Nan left, Tang Beibei thought that when Wen Nan ignored her earlier, she would be someone difficult to get along with. But now she seemed quite nice.

At noon, the three of them had lunch together.

Wen Nan saw Tang Beibei pick up food for Jiang Jingchen when she was eating.

She was just about to remind her that Jiang Jingchen didn’t eat food that others put in his bowl when she saw Jiang Jingchen eat the food that Tang Beibei put in his bowl.

Wen Nan looked at Jiang Jingchen. She felt that the man in front of her was not the Jiang Jingchen she knew.

In the past, he was very afraid of people getting close to him, even if it was her, his primary care physician. He would frown when she got close to him, and his gloomy face was very scary.

“Dr. Wen, please help yourself.”

“Definitely. Miss Tang cooks really well. These dishes are all delicious. Mr.

Jiang is really lucky to eat well every day.”

Tang Beibei was embarrassed by her compliment. “It’s just simple home-cooked dishes. I don’t know if they suit your taste. You can tell me if you don’t like them.”

“I’m not that picky. I got to taste Miss Tang’s cooking only because of Mr. Jiang!” Wen Nan complimented her in a casual tone, like they were good friends.

Lunch went really well. When they finished, Wen Nan offered to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

Tang Beibei didn’t agree, but Jiang Jingchen stopped her.

“If Wen Nan is willing to do it, let her do it. You must be tired after all that cooking. Take a break.”

“But Dr. Wen is our guest. How can we let her work?”

Jiang Jingchen replied, “She’s not really a guest since she’ll be staying here for a while. It’s only right for her to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen after eating.”

Tang Beibei couldn’t win this argument, so she didn’t go into the kitchen.

However, she still felt bad. When Wen Nan came out, Tang Beibei immediately asked her to sit down and eat some fruits.

Wen Nan sat down with a smile. “Miss Tang, please don’t stand on ceremony. Mr. Jiang has already said that I’ll be staying here for a while. Please don’t treat me as an outsider.”

“Alright.”

Tang Beibei was more than happy that she would live here and treat her husband.

“Miss Tang, you can’t disturb us when I’m treating Mr. Jiang. It’s my unique way of doing things.” Wen Nan said.

Tang Beibei was puzzled, but she looked at Jiang Jingchen and then nodded with a smile.

“Okay, don’t worry. I won’t disturb you.”

In the afternoon, Wen Nan and Jiang Jingchen went into the training room, which was filled sports equipment.

Tang Beibei sat in the living room, worried. She looked upstairs from time to time and was in no mood to study.

At around five o’clock, the door to the training room opened and Tang Beibei hurried upstairs.

“How’s my husband? Can I go in?”

Wen Nan said with a smile, “He’s fine. Don’t worry, Miss Tang. You can go in and take a look.”

Tang Beibei ran into the room anxiously and saw the man covered in sweat.

She found a towel to wipe him dry.

“Hubby, are you tired?”

“Beibei, give me a bit of energy and I won’t feel so tired.” The man said.

Tang Beibei turned her head and saw that Wen Nan was watching them. She was too embarrassed to kiss him and glared at him shyly.

Couldn’t he restrain himself a little when there was someone else here?

Obviously, the man did not know what restraint was..
