Jiang Jingchen came home with Tang Beibei on his back and saw Song Zhou sitting on the steps like an abandoned puppy. He looked miserable.

Tang Beibei got off the man’s back and walked up to Song Zhou. “Where’s Qiqi? Why are you alone?”

Song Zhou stood up and dusted off his pants. “She’s gone home.11

After walking two steps, he stopped and said, “She probably has an appointment. Please call her and tell her not to stay out too late.”

“Alright.”

Tang Beibei gave Kuan Qi a call and heard the noisy background where she was at. Ruan Qi told her that she was out with Zhu Fan and his classmates.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Beibei saw that Song Zhou had already gone to his room. Confused, she turned to look at Jiang Jingchen.

“Song Zhou seems to be in a bad mood. 1 hope nothing bad happened.”

Jiang Jingchen unleashed the puppies, wiped their paws, and sprayed disinfectant on them.

“We’ve already created an opportunity for them. Whether he seized it or not is their business. Obedient Beibei, we can’t interfere too much.”

Tang Beibei let out an “it’s a pity” sigh. She wiped her hands and followed him upstairs. When they were on the second floor, she headed to the dance studio.

Jiang Jingchen pinched the back of her neck. “Where are you going?”

“Dance practice, just a short one.”

With his tongue pushed against the inside of his cheek, Jiang Jingchen said, “You still want to practice tonight? Obedient Beibei, please count the number of days you’ve made me wait…”

She had been very tired from dance practice the past few days, so he didn’t torture her. He thought that the atmosphere was just right today, but she still wanted to do her dance practice.

“I don’t mind doing it in the dance studio if you change positions to accommodate me.”

“I don’t want to.”

Jiang Jingchen bent down to pick her up and said coaxingly, “Then we’ll go to the bedroom.”

Tang Beibei woke up late the following day.

She was still yawning at breakfast and the man stuffed bread into her mouth. She just chewed mechanically after that.

After breakfast, she quickly took her bag and got into the car, hoping to catch a nap on her way to school.

Jiang Jingchen let her lie on his lap in the car and combed her hair with his fingers. He felt a little guilty for torturing her last night.

However, guilt could nor overcome his desire for her.

Tang Beibei got out of the car when they arrived at school. She was about to wave goodbye to the man when she saw Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi was also yawning, but there was a man standing beside her.

It was Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan was carrying Ruan Qi s bag and her breakfast.

“Qiqi.”

When Ruan Qi saw her, she wanted to walk away but when she saw Song Zhou get out of the car, she felt that she was being ridiculous.

She walked over to say hi. “Good morning, Beibei. Let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Zhu Fan.”

“Hello, Miss Tang. We’ve met before.”

Zhu Fan was introverted, but he didn’t avoid greeting her.

Tang Beibei was surprised. She turned to look ar Song Zhou and frowned when she saw his shocked expression.

“Hello, Senior Zhu Fan. Class is about to start, so please excuse us.”

Zhu Fan nodded. His voice was very soft and a little shy as he said, “I’ll walk with you. I have a class too.”

Tang Beibei felt the awkwardness of the situation and pulled Ruan Qi away quickly.

Song Zhou was just about to ask Ruan Qi why she suddenly had a boyfriend.

But when he realized that he didn’t seem qualified to ask, he sucked in his cheeks for a while before he headed back to the car.

“Just got dumped?”

Song Zhou pursed his lips and sped up when he heard Jiang Jingchen’s teasing from the backseat.

Jiang Jingchen’s cold voice continued, “Love is complicated, and women’s thoughts are even harder to figure out. I created an opportunity for you. You can’t blame anyone for letting it slip.”

Song Zhou pursed his lips tightly. “I thought she would wait for me.”

He was going to tell her today that they could be a couple. They could date openly and even hug and kiss in public.

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. “You assume she’ll wait for you just because you’re waiting for someone? Song Zhou, why should she wait for you?”

This question was like a sharp arrow shot straight into his heart. It hurt so badly.

Jiang Jingchen continued, “I asked you to investigate Ruan Qi’s family. How’s that going?”

Song Zhou controlled his emotions but his voice was still hoarse from his terrible mood when he answered, “Ruan Qi lived with her grandmother when she was young. She lived with her mother after her parents divorced. Her mother remarried and she ended up with half-siblings.”

Jiang Jingchen pursed his lips and snorted. “How can you ignore such an obvious crack?”

“What do you mean?” Song Zhou didn’t understand.

Jiang Jingchen said, “Ruan Qi’s parents are divorced so she had to grow up quickly and take care of herself. She has younger siblings in her new family. It’s obvious that she doesn’t feel a sense of presence there.”

“She took the initiative to tease you, kiss you, and do all kinds of things to you. She was trying to make her presence felt.”

“She tried once, twice, and a third time, but she didn’t get any response. She figured that it’s pointless to persist, so in order to protect herself, she retreated.”

“She wasn’t cared for by her parents since young and her parents are divorced. Her attitude towards relationships is either passionate or indifferent.”

“Congratulations, Song Zhou. You’ve turned her passion for you into indifference.”

Song Zhou suddenly remembered Ruan Qi’s need to end every conversation, or she would be sad.

This habit actually reflected her inner feelings. She lacked attention, so she felt compelled to reply to every message.

Song Zhou felt perplexed. “Young Master, do 1 still have a chance?”

“What do you want a chance for? To toy with her feelings?”

“No. Mi Qing has found a boyfriend. 1 thought, I…”

“Sigh. Forget it. Since you are not right for each other, don’t hurt her.” Jiang jingchen mocked him. He was disgusted at Song Zhou’s passivity.

Song Zhou knew that he had been unfair to Ruan Qi.

He avoided her pursuit back then, but he was full of regret now that she had made her choice.

He even despised himself.

In school when Tang Beibei arrived at their classroom, she asked Ruan Qi in a low voice what happened last night.

“Didn’t you say that the best way to get over a relationship is to start a new one? Song Zhou has already rejected me, but 1 still pestered him. Why should I be so cheap? It’s not like no one wants me, so why should 1 cheapen myself?”

Her voice still sounded angry when she spoke.

Tang Beibei figured that something must have happened between them, so she continued to probe.

Ruan Qi was annoyed, but she told Tang Beibei what happened last night. “1 was willing to have a secret relationship with him until he has a proper chat with his fiancee.”

“But I couldn’t stand it when he left me for a phone call that he had to answer on the balcony.”

She was the pursuer in this relationship, but he didn’t cherish it and came and went as he pleased while she pestered him like a needy dog.

Why couldn’t she be rhe one who came and went as she pleased?

Tang Beibei patted Ruan Qi’s back heartachingly. “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I’ll help you scold him. Bastard!”

Ruan Qi laughed. “I’m not a child. You don’t have to coax me like this.”

“But I must. My husband said that relationships are fragile and need to be nurtured and protected. When we are hurting, we are just like children and need to be coaxed.”

“Qiqi, you’re still young. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to date different people.”

Ruan Qi turned to look at her. “Why does it sound like you regret not dating more people?”

Tang Bei quickly waved her hand. “My husband said that with my personality, I’m not suited for dating. I’m more suited for marriage because I need to slowly get to know someone and find the best way to live the rest of my life with that person.”

“And you believe your husband’s coaxing words, huh?”

Ruan Qi complained in her heart that it was despicable of Jiang Jingchen to dupe an ignorant girl.

Tang Beibei pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before she said, “He’s not coaxing me. I’m really not suited for dating.”

“No one taught me what love was when I was younger. I didn’t believe in love, and 1 didn’t believe that 1 deserve to be loved.”
