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

After leaving the hotel, Lu Linlin discussed her engagement plan with her father. She wanted to be engaged to Song Kai.

Lu Huai frowned when he heard Song Kai’s name instead of Song Hai’s.

Lu Linlin hugged his arm and wheedled, “Dad, if you want to work with the Song Family, it doesn’t really matter if it’s Song Hai or Song Kai. But I like Song Kai and will only marry him. Please agree with me.”

Lu Huai only had one daughter, a little princess he had doted on since she was born.

He had given her almost everything she wanted.

“You still need their consent for Song Kai to be engaged to you, right?”

Lu Linlin said, “Dad, Song Hai is a good-for-nothing, and he has a fetish. He likes to do that with dogs. 1 feel disgusted just thinking about it.”

“He is also incompetent. If it weren’t for the support of Old Master Song, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on to his position as the heir of the Song family.”

“Song Kai has excellent grades in school. He’s capable and he likes me too. That’s why only he can give me happiness.”

Lu Huai frowned when he heard about Song Hai’s bestiality. He did not want his daughter to marry a man with weird taste and fetishes.

“Alright then. Let me meet Song Kai. If 1 find that he’s a good person, I’ll agree to your engagement with him and also help him.”

“That’s great, Dad. I love you so much!” Lu Linlin was excited.

As long as she could convince her father, her engagement with Song Kai was more or less a done deal.

She quickly contacted Song Kai and made a reservation for him to have dinner with her father.

Lu Huai and Song Kai sat at the same table and ate together that night. Lu Huai observed the young man. He was polite, cultured and had the air of an aristocrat. He was indeed better than Song Hai in everyway.

If his daughter were to get married, she could only be married to a responsible and capable man.

The three of them parted ways after a pleasant dinner. Lu Linlin hugged Song Kai’s arm excitedly.

Song Kai might not like her now but she was confident that if they got along well, he would see her strengths and fall in love with her!

After Lu Huai left, Song Kai shook off the woman’s hands. “I’ve met your father and he seemed agreeable to our engagement. Next up is the Song family.”

Lu Linlin smiled and said, “It’s your Song Family who wants to marry up to my Lu Family. You can just tell them that I chose you. They won’t be able to stop us!”

Song Kai wanted to avoid a fallout with the Song family. It was better for Lu Linlin to tell them that she liked him and wanted to be engaged to him.

The two of them agreed that they would find a suitable time to go to the Song residence to talk to them about this.

Lu Linlin looked at him eagerly. “Song Kai, aren’t you going to spend more time with me?”

Song Kai was slightly annoyed. Her perfume was too strong. It was giving him a headache and he had wanted to leave long ago.

“I still have some homework to finish. You know about the exams we have in medical school.”

Lu Linlin held his arm and said, “By the way, 1 don’t know why I’ve been feeling itchy recently. Can you help me take a look?”

Song Kai glanced at her. “It’s allergic reaction. Go check it out in the hospital and find out the source of the allergy.”

“Oh, is it that serious? Then accompany me.”

Song Kai was unhappy but he had to endure it for the sake of their engagement.

“Alright, let’s go to the hospital.”

They arrived at the hospital. Lu Linlin had her blood drawn for an allergy test, but the test report would take a while. When Lu Linlin turned around, she was surprised to see Tang Beibei in a hospital gown.

She was pushing a wheelchair into an examination room.

Lu Linlin sneered in her heart. It was a pity that she didn’t ruin her that night. However, she was very curious about the man who saved her.

She quickly turned and walked back to Song Kai. She tugged at his arm and pointed at Tang Beibei.

“Song Kai, look, that’s Tang Beibei. She and her cripple husband are both in the hospital.”

Song Kai knew that Tang Beibei was in the same hospital, but he didn’t expect to see her here. He checked the time and guessed that it was probably time for her follow-up consultation.

He lowered his head and looked at the woman who felt no remorse. Instead, she looked like she was eagerly anticipating more drama. Song Kai regretted accompanying her to the hospital.

She should suffer her allergies and itch until her skin rotted!

He asked her, “Do you know why Tang Beibei is hospitalized?”

Lu Linlin looked him in the eye. “1 don’t. Do you?”

Song Kai said casually, “She’s my junior, of course 1 know a little. I heard that she was set up and almost gang raped. Those who do such things should receive divine retribution!”

Lu Linlin kept quiet out of guilt. She asked Song Kai to look at Tang Beibei to remind him that Tang Beibei was married and that he should stop harboring hopes.

However, she thought that if Song Kai knew that she was the one who set Tang Beibei up, he would definitely be angry.

After a while, her test report came out. Her allergic reaction was due to the excessive amount of crab roe she ate recently. However, her condition was not too serious, but she should still be careful.

Lu Linlin then remembered that she did eat a lot of crab roe the night Tang Beibei was assaulted. But she didn’t pay much attention to it until she started itching a few days ago and finally came to the hospital.

The doctor prescribed her some medicine and reminded her not to eat crab roe again or her condition would worsen.

Lu Linlin left the hospital with the medicine and looked at Song Kai. “Thank you for coming with me to the hospital. I’m looking forward to us living together after we got engaged.”

“Sure.”

Song Kai thought to himself that engagement did not mean marriage. Whether they would end up together depended on her fate.

Tang Beibei’s follow-up consultation went well. The swelling on her face had subsided, and the bruises had faded.

She packed her things in preparation for her discharge.

It was too extravagant for her to stay a few days in the hospital because of such minor injuries.

Jiang Jingchen couldn’t help but laugh when he heard her words and held her wrist.

“Beibei, you’re hospitalized for your own safety. Who knows if that lunatic Lu Linlin will set you another trap?”

Frightened, Tang Beibei quickly nodded.

“You’re right. I should stay away from that lunatic Lu Linlin. If she’s unhappy and tries to harm me again, 1 might not be so lucky to have someone save me next time.”

Jiang Jingchen saw her nervousness and couldn’t bear it.

She had been careful when she lived with the Rongs, yet she was bullied. She finally left the Rongs and had him for protection. She should be focusing on her studies and her dreams, yet she was still bullied.

He frowned. He really wanted to stand up and kiss her, telling her not to be afraid.

He would use all his armor to protect her.

Back in the villa, Tang Beibei lay on the soft sofa and sighed about finally being at home.

Jiang Jingchen saw her rolling around on the sofa like a kitten and reached out to hold the back of her neck and asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll ask Auntie Lin to make it for you.”

“I want to cook myself. Auntie Lin has been cooking for me the past few days when I was in the hospital. She deserves a break.” Tang Beibei said.

“Alright, I’ll help.”

Jiang Jingchen also liked to cook with her.

“Excellent!”

Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. Although he couldn’t help much in the kitchen, it was nice to spend couple time at home like this. It felt cozy and relaxing.

Auntie Lin was unhappy when she heard that Tang Beibei wanted to cook. Was this Tang Beibei’s way of criticizing her cooking?

Also, didn’t she know better as a wife? How could she let Mr. Jiang into the smoky and oily kitchen?

That night, Song Zhou hurried upstairs to the study and updated Jiang Jingchen.

“Young Master, Lu Linlin is in the hospital emergency room.”

Tang Beibei, who was reading, asked in surprise, “What happened?”
