Chu Tang put down the milk and sneered. “Since she doesn’t want me to know, I’ll pretend not to know.”

Gubei paused. “But sir, she’s Mrs. Chu now. If the new that she’s working part-time spreads, it will affect you.”

Chu Tang smiled. “Do you think I’m afraid of this?” What pride could a child who had been abandoned by the Chu family for many years have? Other than his grandfather, no one else participated in his wedding.

“Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to help her.” Chu Tang changed into a comfortable position and leaned against the wheelchair. “I’ll help her when she understands how a husband and wife should interact.”

Gu Bei didn’t understand Chu Tang’s words, but he couldn’t continue asking. “Sir, are you going to wait for Madam to come back for dinner?”

Chu Tang said, “I’ll wait for her.”

At the sanatorium.

When Jiang Yingying finally got off work, it was already past eight in the evening. Because it was her first day at work, she wasn’t familiar with many things and stayed up very late. The bus for her route was gone. Just as she was about to take a taxi, a white car stopped in front of her.

Han Jiaqi rolled down the car window and looked at her with a smile. “Come up. I’ll send you back.”

Jiang Yingying subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she remembered that it wasn’t easy to get a taxi from the sanatorium. She didn’t know how long she would have to wait, so she got in. “Senior, why are you here?”

Han Jiaqi started the car. “I came to do something. I saw you standing by the road, so I came.”

Jiang Yingying nodded. “Oh right, you were classmates with our team leader, Meng Na. It’s so late, so are you here to look for her?” Meng Na was beautiful, capable, and smart. Such a woman should be Han Jiaqi’s type. She was able to find such a high-paying part-time job precisely because of her senior’s relationship with Meng Na.

Han Jiaqi paused with his hand on the steering wheel. “Kinda.” That night, Meng Na asked him out for a meal, but he rejected her. He asked casually, “By the way, I remember that they usually get off work at seven, right? Has the sanatorium changed the time?”

He had been waiting for her outside since seven.

Jiang Yingying smiled in embarrassment. “It’s still seven o’clock. I just started work here and wasn’t familiar with it, so I got delayed.”

Han Jiaqi smiled. “I’ve done the work here before. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask me.”

Jiang Yingying replied, “Thank you.” She couldn’t help but sigh. After so many years, Han Jiaqi was still as gentle as before.

“Stop calling me senior. I’ve graduated so many years ago. Just call me Jiaqi.”

Jiang Yingying waved her hand. She felt that it was too intimate. “I’ll call you senior.”

The two of them suddenly fell silent. In the end, Han Jiaqi coughed lightly. “You suddenly came out to work part-time. What exactly happened?”

Han Jiaqi couldn’t say that he knew her that well, but he still knew a little about Jiang Yingying. When she lied, she didn’t dare to look people in the eye.

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Yingying denied with a smile.

Han Jiaqi sighed softly. “Although I haven’t been working for long, my income isn’t that low.” Speaking of this, he couldn’t help but show off. “I bought this car myself. It’s more than 200,000 yuan. My classmates are very envious of me.”

Jiang Yingying’s eyes were filled with envy. “Senior, you’re indeed impressive. When can I be as impressive as you…”

Han Jiaqi couldn’t help but smile proudly. “As long as you work hard, you will. Oh right, Yingying, where do you live?!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yingying silently told him the address of the Lanyue Residence.

Han Jiaqi was stunned for a long time. “Is it that villa area that’s difficult to buy even if you have money?”

Jiang Yingying nodded silently.

The shock in Han Jiaqi’s eyes didn’t dissipate even after a long time. “What exactly does your husband do?”

Jiang Yingying replied truthfully, “I don’t think he has a job… I see him drinking tea at home every day and listening to the news…”

“He’s a rich second-generation heir?” The smile on Han Jiaqi’s face froze. “Then your marriage should… be quite blissful.”

Jiang Yingying nodded again. She was happy. Chu Tang was considered a rich heir. Old Master Chu’s grandfather was also rich…

Han Jiaqi frowned. “Since he’s so rich, why do you still want to work part-time?” What did she mean by wanting to buy a gift? It was obvious that she was lying. Was that man not giving her money?

Jiang Yingying regretted telling Han Jiaqi about her marriage. She couldn’t tell him that she had been blackmailed by her aunt, right? “I just want to use my own money to buy him a gift! Senior, let’s not talk about this anymore.”
