Han Jiaqi didn’t expect Jiang Yingying, who had always been good-tempered, to suddenly become so insistent. He smiled awkwardly. “Then I won’t ask anymore as long as you’re happy.”

After that, the two of them remained silent until Han Jiaqi’s car stopped at the entrance of the Langyue Residence villa area. He wanted to send her to her house. However, because Han Jiaqi’s car was on a completely different level from the other luxury cars in the estate, the security guard stopped him.

Jiang Yingying hadn’t lived here for long, so the security guards didn’t know her, so both of them were rejected.

“You can go back first.” Jiang Yingying smiled at Han Jiaqi in embarrassment. “I’ll call my family to pick me up.”

Han Jiaqi didn’t refuse. “That’s good. It won’t be good if your husband sees me and there’s a misunderstanding.”

After watching Han Jiaqi’s car drive away, Jiang Yingying took out her phone and called Mary.

Two minutes later, Gu Bei, who was dressed formally, walked out. “Madam, Sir asked me to pick you up.”

Jiang Yingying was stunned. It was already past nine o’clock in the evening. Why was Chu Tang still awake?

As if he could tell that Jiang Yingying was puzzled, Gu Bei said respectfully, “Sir is still waiting for you to go back for dinner.”

“He didn’t even eat dinner?” Jiang Yingying was even more surprised.

Gu Bei nodded. “So if you really feel sorry for him, Madam, let’s go back quickly.”

Jiang Yingying didn’t delay and quickly walked back.

Gu Bei saw Jiang Yingying clumsily carrying her bag and dutifully took it from her. The two of them walked further and further away.

Under the shade of a tree a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the Langyue Residence, Han Jiaqi frowned as he watched Jiang Yingying and a middle-aged man leave. He had never asked Jiang Yingying about her husband’s specific information because he had already guessed that her husband was definitely not a young person, but he had never expected him to be so old.

Han Jiaqi narrowed his eyes. He knew her well. Jiang Yingying wasn’t greedy or vain. There must be a reason she was forced to marry someone so old. That man might be able to give her a lot of material things, but he could never give her love! In that case, he wouldn’t give up. He would win her back sooner or later.

When Jiang Yingying followed Gu Bei back to the villa, she saw that Chu Tang was leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed. He was listening to Zhu Cheng read a novel to him. He was still reading the part in “Anna Karenina” where Anna made up her mind to divorce Karenin.

Jiang Yingying subconsciously frowned. She had just gotten married, but Zhu Cheng was reading a book that was pessimistic about love and marriage. She felt a little dismayed.

However, Chu Tang only said calmly after Zhu Cheng finished reading this paragraph, “I heard the door open. Who’s there?”

Zhu Cheng looked up at Jiang Yingying. “Sir, Madam is back.”

“What time is it now?” Chu Tang narrowed his eyes.

Zhu Cheng replied, “9 pm sharp.”

Chu Tang leaned back in his wheelchair and smiled slowly. “I don’t think I’ve eaten so late in more than ten years.”

Jiang Yingying’s face turned pale. She said guiltily, “I said you didn’t have to wait for me. I… I’m about to take my exam. I’ll be studying until it’s very late recently, so you can eat first.”

Chu Tang couldn’t be bothered to expose her lie. “Ok, let’s eat.”

Jiang Yingying silently wiped the sweat off her head, but she felt uneasy. He hadn’t… discovered that she was lying, right? In order to hide her guilt, she specifically chose a seat far away from Chu Tang to eat.

However, before she could sit down, the blind person in the distance frowned. “Come here.”

“W-what?” Jiang Yingying awkwardly remained in her seat. She was stunned and didn’t dare to move.

Chu Tang said, “Feed me.”

The corners of Jiang Yingying’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. Was this man addicted to being fed? However, she still went over obediently. Perhaps it was because she felt too guilty, but Jiang Yingying didn’t wonder how Chu Tang realized that she wasn’t sitting near him.

During the entire meal, Chu Tang ate slowly while Jiang Yingying suffered from the guilt. She worked part-time for the entire afternoon and was tired and hungry. When she returned home, she still had to serve Chu Tang.

When Chu Tang was finally full, Jiang Yingying wolfed down all the food on the table, shocking Mary and Zhu Cheng.

Chu Tang sat at the side and slowly drank his tea. “Turns out that studying is such hard work.”

Jiang Yingying blushed slightly. She knew that he was saying that she had a big appetite. She said, “I’m born stupid. If I use my brain too much, I’ll be tired and develop a big appetite!”
