Tang Beibei laughed. This man always found all sorts of strange excuses to kiss her.

He wasn’t lending her money. How could he collect interest upfront and then ask her to pay down the principal later?

She grumbled for a bit but still ran to change her clothes and walked the dogs with him.

The two puppies had grown a lot and needed exercise every day. If they weren’t walked, they would be restless and roll around in the living room coquettishly, begging to be walked.

Therefore, Tang Beibei was right. When the two of them went out with the

dogs, the dogs would be walking them.

They would go wherever the dogs took them.

There was a cool night breeze, but they didn’t feel cold. In fact, they felt a little hot after walking.

When they walked by a barbecue stall, Tang Beibei was hungry. The two of them sat down and ate some barbecue. They were thirsty after eating barbecue and stopped for ice cream.

When they got home, Tang Beibei had a cup of hot bubble tea with her, which made Ruan Qi drool.

However, Song Zhou said that bubble tea was not good and didn’t let Ruan Qi have any. Ruan Qi sulked licking her lips.

Tang Beibei walked into the living room with a smile and took a big sip of her bubble tea, making gurgling sounds.

“Wow, it’s so yummy!”

Ruan Qi glared at Tang Beibei. Was her best friend a demon?

Tang Beibei smiled as she chewed on the tapioca pearls and coconut in her milk tea. “It’s so sweet. Ichiban!”

Ruan Qi couldn’t take it anymore and glared at her. “Eh, can you give the pregnant woman a break, please? If I suffer from depression, you are my murderer!”

Tang Beibei inched closer to her, and Ruan Qi moved away gloomily. Tang

Beibei inched closer to her again, blocking Song Zhou’s line of sight.

“Don’t say that I’m not good to you. Have a sip.”

Ruan Qi’s eyes lit up. She quickly lowered her head and took a big sip.

It was indeed delicious!

Hearing footsteps, Tang Beibei quickly moved away and said, “Ahem, this thing is so delicious. It’s useless to envy me or feel jealous. I won’t give it to you even if you beg me! Hmph!”

“Stop pretending. It’s me.”

The footsteps were Jiang Jingchen’s.

Tang Beibei glanced at Song Zhou, who was walking away, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Ruan Qi immediately moved closer to her and said, “Hey, Beibei, give me another sip.”

“No, no, you already had a sip. My husband bought this for me.”

Ruan Qi hugged Tang Beibei’s arm coquettishly. “It’s not me who wants to drink it. It’s the disappointing boy in my belly who wants to drink it. Beibei, don’t be so cruel.”

Tang Beibei’s lips twitched as she glanced at Ruan Qi’s belly. “I actually cannot argue with that excuse.”

Ruan Qi had her way. She smiled and quickly took another sip, her face filled with joy.

Why didn’t bubble tea taste this good in the past?

Ruan Qi stared at Tang Beibei’s milk tea and said ingratiatingly, “Beibei, take good care of my son first. He’ll be your future son-in-law.”

“Oi,” Jiang Jingchen scoffed. “My daughter hasn’t even been born yet, and you want to lure her away. Obedient Beibei, take away the milk tea.”

Ruan Qi felt that her flattery had fallen flat.

Tang Beibei moved away from Ruan Qi and said with a serious expression, “It’s irresponsible of you to betroth your son when he isn’t even born. You’re a mother who doesn’t respect her son. I’m worried for him.”

In the end, Ruan Qi only took two sips of the bubble tea and Tang Beibei drank the rest.

Ruan Qi gritted her teeth and said, “Tang Beibei, you’ll also be pregnant one day!”

Jiang Jingchen looked at her coldly. “And what are you going to do then?”

“… Cough…” Ruan Qi, who was trying to threaten Tang Beibei choked on Jiang Jingchen’s words and said timidly, “I’m just stating a fact. Beibei will be pregnant someday.”

Tang Beibei nodded cooperatively. “True. I’ll be pregnant someday, but I won’t necessarily crave bubble tea.”

What a beautiful comeback!

It was verified. Tang Beibei was a pseudo best friend!

When Ruan Qi went back to the guest room, Song Zhou asked her, “Are you happy after drinking two sips of milk tea?”

“. We’ll still be husband and wife if you don’t call me out.”

Song Zhou chuckled. He said that milk tea was not good and she should drink less of it. She could share a milk tea with Tang Beibei but she couldn’t get one for herself because she would just drink the whole thing. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He walked up to her and cupped her depressed face. Ruan Qi had indeed put on a little weight recently. He felt a great sense of accomplishment.

He asked, “What’s so good about bubble tea that you miss it so much?”

“It can only be appreciated, not explained.”

“Oh, then pass me some appreciation.”

He kissed her lips.

After a long time, the woman’s legs went limp as she leaned into his embrace.

He hugged her and said with a smile, “Yes. It indeed tastes quite delicious.”

The four of them had breakfast together the next morning.

Ruan Qi wasn’t going to school, so she ate her porridge at a leisurely pace while she played with her phone. Song Zhou, who sat beside her, would feed her food from time to time.

Suddenly, Ruan Qi stopped and said to Tang Beibei, “There’s a video about you.”

“Me?”

Tang Beibei was chewing on her steamed bun and blinking adorably.

“I haven’t done anything wrong recently… Right?”

“It’s an interview with Mrs. Zhang by a reporter from a small television station.

She said that you saved her son’s life, and she’s very grateful. She even specially tagged our account.”

Tang Beibei craned her neck to look. It really was Mrs. Zhang.

Ruan Qi sighed. “This gratitude Mrs. Zhang has for you is going to get us more followers.”

Tang Beibei nodded. “That’s a good thing. It’s positive energy.”

She didn’t know why Mrs. Zhang was interviewed, but she did save someone. If

Mrs. Zhang was willing to say it, she wouldn’t object.

She quickly finished the steamed bun she was holding and picked up her bag to go to school.

Jiang Jingchen pulled her back and handed her some soymilk.

Tang Beibei swallowed and said with a little resistance, “Hubby, I’m full. I can’t drink anymore.”

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “It’s not good to waste food. It’s only half a cup.”

Tang Beibei puffed up her face helplessly and finished the half glass of soymilk.

It wasn’t that soymilk wasn’t delicious. She just got a little sick of it after drinking it every day.

When they got into the car, Jiang Jingchen waited for the woman to buckle her seatbelt before he asked, “Don’t you like soymilk anymore?”

“I do. I’m just full.”

After all, Jiang Jingchen had made the soymilk himself. How could she bear to tell him that she didn’t like it?

“Don’t force yourself.”

Tang Beibei quickly kissed him on the lips fawningly.

“I’m not forcing myself, not forcing myself at all, hehe.”

After dropping off the woman at school, Jiang Jingchen drove to Jiang Corporation.

First, he went to a coffee shop nearby and ordered a cup of coffee. After sitting down, he unlocked his phone and checked the share price of Jiang Corporation. It had dropped.

Shortly after, Song Zhou sent him a video and he clicked on it.

It was a video of Ma Zhang blowing the whistle on Jiang Corporation’s procurement processes. He also said that the procurement staff of Jiang Corporation forced him to supply raw materials of a lower quality so they could skim off the top.

Ma Zhang was going to tell the higher-ups at Jiang Corporation about this but he was ridiculed and even threatened.

However, when Ji Yi and Ji Er kidnapped Ma Baomu again, they realized that this idiot only knew how to indulge in debauchery. He knew nothing about the Ma family business. He was clueless when they questioned him. Ji Yi was so angry that he beat him up.

But the plan still had to be carried out. They used Ma Baomu to force Ma Zhang into blowing the whistle on Jiang Corporation. Although this made their job, it made the expose more credible.

Because of this, the share price of Jiang Corporation fell further.

Jiang Jingchen reminded Song Zhou to keep an eye on Ma Baomu while keeping in close contact with Yang Hao about happenings at Jiang Corporation.

Because now was the critical period to take down Jiang Xing; they couldn’t afford any mishaps!

Seeing that it was past the beginning of the workday at Jiang Corporation, Jiang Jingchen got up and went to the office.

Seated at his desk, he heard his colleague say, “There’s another big news. Jiang Corporation’s credit business has been suspended by the regulators!”

“Are they telling the market that the credit rating for Jiang Corporation is going down and the regulators couldn’t tolerate it anymore? Are they going to launch an investigation?”

■’Didn’t you see the news that broke this morning? The raw materials used by one of the subsidiaries are of inferior quality. Staff from our procurement department are corrupt and have been stealing from the company. I heard that the amount is huge. It might be yet another financial crime!”

No matter how big the company was, it could not afford too many lawsuits. Everyone’s morale would be low because if the company went bankrupt, they would all be laid off.

Jiang Jingchen listened to everyone’s discussion without any expression on his face, but he sensed that someone was staring at him.

He looked up to find that person but to no avail.

He scanned the room and fixed his eyes on Wu Rui.

Wu Rui slowly looked up and met his eyes. He got up, walked up to Jiang Jingchen and said, “You don’t seem at all surprised that the company is in trouble..”
