Chapter 90: I’m so Stupid I Could Cry!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei went to join Ruan Qi in the dance studio after her TCM club event. They practiced dance for the rest of the afternoon until an alarm went off on her phone. The alarm signaled the end of the school day. Tang Beibei packed her things and went to the school gate.
After returning to the villa by car, she busied herself in the kitchen. She had a lot to do.
Jiang Jingchen went to the kitchen to help. He hadn’t seen his wife for a day and missed her.
Seeing that she wasn’t wearing her ring while washing the vegetables, he looked around.
“Beibei, did you take off your ring?”
“Yeah.” Tang Beibei nodded with a smile. She remembered taking her ring off before the practical exercise.
Jiang Jingchen asked, “Then, where’s the ring?”
“It’s in my bag.”
The two of them cooked and ate dinner together. When they were about to go upstairs, Jiang Jingchen asked, “Beibei, why don’t you put your ring back on?”
“Yes, let me put it back on.” Tang Beibei excitedly went to her bag to look for the ring.
She didn’t find it in the side pocket. She thought she had remembered wrong, so she rummaged her bag, but she still couldn’t find it.
Her expression became one of panic.
She poured out everything in her bag and searched every corner of it, but she still could not find her ring.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Jingchen asked worriedly when he saw her pale face.
Tang Beibei did not dare to say that she had lost the ring. She quickly called Ruan Qi and asked her if she had found a ring in the dance studio.
Ruan Qi said that she was still in the dance studio and had not seen it, so she asked Tang Beibei where she had left the ring.
Tang Beibei looked out the window into the dark night sky and anxiously asked Ruan Qi to help her find her ring.
Jiang Jingchen, who was in his wheelchair behind her, heard her voice and asked softly, “Beibei, did something happen?”
Tang Beibei turned around abruptly and lowered her head guiltily.
“The ring is… 1,1 think I lost it.”
“I’m sorry.” Tang Beibei said, her head hanging.
“Silly girl, you didn’t do it on purpose. Let’s go find your ring.” Jiang Jingchen called Song Zhou over and they drove to Tang Beibei’s school.
Because they were looking for a ring, Song Zhou brought a metal detector with him. He searched along the path Tang Beibei had taken, but still couldn’t find her ring.
Tang Beibei was devastated and called Song Kai to ask.
Song Kai said innocently, “Didn’t you put the ring in your bag?”
“I don’t know what happened either. 1 put the ring in the side pocket and zipped it up.” Tang Beibei was extremely upset.
“Don’t panic. I’ll help you find it now.”
Song Kai ran to the TCM clubroom and saw Tang Beibei. He was about to call out to her when he saw the man in a wheelchair beside her.
He retracted his smile and walked over slowly. “Beibei, when did you realize that your ring was missing?”
“After dinner.”
Tang Beibei picked at her fingers, feeling very sad.
Song Kai opened the door of the clubroom and helped her look around. Tang Beibei also retraced her steps but still couldn’t find it.
Seeing her sad expression, Song Kai wanted to comfort her, but someone pushed his wheelchair up to her first and held her hand.
“Don’t be sad. The ring is being naughty and hiding somewhere. It will turn up one day.” Jiang Jingchen looked at Song Zhou as he spoke.
Song Zhou understood and turned around to make a call.
Tang Beibei wiped her tears and sobbed softly. “I haven’t even worn this ring for two days and it’s our wedding ring. I’m so useless.”
Tang Beibei also felt sad that she lost one of the rings that she bought for 10,000 yuan. It meant that she lost 5,000 yuan.
It was five thousand yuan.
It was almost half her annual living expenses. How could she not cry?
Jiang Jingchen’s heart ached when he saw her wipe her tears.
“Maybe it’s at home. When you took it out of your bag, the ring ran away by itself. You just didn’t notice.” He coaxed softly.
“Not possible. I’ve searched everywhere, but 1 didn’t see it. Hubby, I’m so stupid 1 could cry! 1 didn’t even know that I’ve lost my ring.”
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became and the harder she cried. She was like a child who had lost money. Her mouth was downturned as she wiped her tears, but the more she wiped, the more she cried.
Jiang Jingchen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. His little wife was so cute even when she cried.
His pulled her onto his lap lovingly, kissed her eyes and comforted her in a low voice, “Trust me, you may find it when you get home. Don’t cry, your eyes are swollen from crying.”
Tang Beibei sniffled. “If I can’t find it when 1 get home, it means that the ring has been picked up by someone. There are so many people coming and going in school, and they won’t return my ring even if they picked it up. Hubby, I’m so sad. Waaah…”
The crying that had stopped started again. She was so pitiful.
Jiang Jingchen sighed and kissed her lips until she stopped crying. He then kissed the corner of her mouth.
“Don’t cry. If you can’t find it when we get home, we’ll put up a notice. Whoever finds your ring will be given 10,000 yuan.” His gentle voice sounded like he was coaxing a child.
“A monetary reward? I don’t have that much money. My money, waaah!”
At the mention of a monetary reward, his wife cried even harder.
“Alright, alright. No monetary reward. We’ll write a thank you letter.” Jiang Jingchen held back his laughter when he saw her crying so adorably.
“Then, will people return the ring to me for a thank you letter?”
Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t, but Jiang Jingchen wanted to coax his wife. He didn’t need logic at a time like this.
“Yes, they will. There, there.”
Tang Beibei finally stopped crying. She sobbed and wiped her tears. She leaned into his arms and dried her tears before she got up.
Song Kai was also very surprised to see the woman cry. Did she care so much about that ring?
He watched the interaction between the two, especially when Jiang Jingchen kissed her. He clenched his fists as his eyes turned gloomy, but he restrained himself.
What hurt him most was when the woman lay in his arms unabashedly and listened to the man’s coaxing. Song Kai gritted his teeth.
He shouldn’t have come over to watch Tang Beibei get intimate with another man and force feed him their lovey-dovey!
Tang Beibei was wiping her tears when she turned her head and saw Song Kai. She sobbed in embarrassment, “Senior Song Kai, thank you for coming over.
Sorry for disturbing you. My husband and 1 will go home and look for it there.”
“Alright, I’ll call the people who attended this afternoon’s event and ask if they’ve found your ring.” Song Kai’s expression returned to normal.
Tang Beibei waved goodbye at him and pushed Jiang Jingchen’s wheelchair out.
Song Kai stared at the backs of the two people and narrowed his cold eyes, which were filled with indignation and hatred.
Back in the villa, Jiang Jingchen gave Song Zhou a look. Song Zhou walked up to him and secretly handed him a ring.
Tang Beibei searched the living room. She wanted to turn the sofa upside down and search under the carpet.
“Beibei, the ring is here.”
“Oh, did you find it?”
Tang Beibei was pleasantly surprised. She ran up to him and smiled when she saw that it was the woman’s ring that matched his.
“Thank goodness. Thank goodness we found it. This is our wedding ring. It’ll be unlucky if I lost it.”
Jiang Jingchen frowned slightly, but he quickly recovered. “Beibei, consider these our engagement rings. When 1 recover, we’ll have a do-over of our wedding. I’ll give you the wedding ring I’ve prepared for you.”
Tang Beibei looked at him. “A do-over wedding?”
“Yes, you’ll wear a wedding dress that fits you and a one-of-a-kind ring.”
Tang Beibei imagined it in her mind and smiled. “Okay, I’m in. Now help me put the ring back on.”
Jiang Jingchen put the ring on her ring finger. Tang Beibei was very happy and was about to speak when the man grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.
Song Zhou, who was about to ask if they needed help, just facepalmed himself.
Being around these two people meant that he would be force fed their lovey-dovey anytime, anywhere. He retreated quickly to make himself scarce.
When he turned around, he saw Wen Nan standing at the door with hatred in her eyes..
