Chapter 709: You’re my wife, ah (1/2)

Soon enough, Tang Li recovered his energy and grinned at Ning Jing. “Your husband wanted to kill that poison python and harvest its gallbladder to help nourish Jing Jing’s body. Looks like that’s impossible now.”

Tang Li’s actually smiling at me. Does this mean he doesn’t care that I kicked him in the face back there? Ning Jing stared at him in silence. Her thoughts were unknown, but she had started biting her lip.

Tang Li was gasping for breath and covered in a face full of sweat, but still managed a flattering grin. He lightly licked his lips as he observed her with amusement. Or rather, he was looking at her lip. It was rare for this woman to show such minute movements. Ning Jing quickly noticed his pointed gaze and followed his gaze downwards. She couldn’t figure out what he was staring at.

“Hey, where are you look–” Her words were cut off as Tang Li drew close, bent down, and kissed her on the lips.

Ning Jing had experienced her share of bullying under a drugged Tang Li and his wild, passionate ways. But the kiss still made her freeze. Her eyes widened in disbelief as her mind grew blank. It was impossible for her to think beyond the scorching temperature of his lips! She was supposed to push him aside by this point, but she didn’t even think of that as she stood there like a statue.

Actually, Tang Li was surprised as well. Although he was taking advantage of her right now, that wasn’t his true intention. He had already vowed to himself to never touch this “wife” of his again. But just then…did his brain switch places with his muscles?

What kind of impulse was that?!

Well fine, since we’re kissing we might as well keep at it. I’ll just pretend it was an act and stop it myself.

Despite this, his damnable self didn’t want to stop kissing at all. This woman’s lips were so soft! He couldn’t resist the urge to deepen their kiss, scaring Ning Jing into withdrawing. In a moment of urgency, Tang Li only drew closer and kissed her harder, as if afraid he’d never get the chance to eat her again once they parted.

“Mm…mmph…” Ning Jing began to struggle. It would have been better if she stayed still, because her movements stirred up Tang Li’s wicked side.

Since I can’t let go of this sweetness, I might as well go ahead and risk everything! Since we’re touching, I might as well touch ‘til the end! She’s my official wife anyways, and she played me first.

He’d been harboring the debt for ages!

Tang Li grabbed Ning Jing’s hand as she made to slap him, then circled her waist with his other arm to trap her in his embrace. Ning Jing wanted to turn away, but he held her by the head and viciously…kissed her long and deep. It was a demand more than a kiss, so hot that Ning Jing had no choice but to endure. As they kissed, the notion of paying back debts and dignity flew to the back to Tang Li’s head. What remained was simply impulse, and how wonderful Ning Jing was.

Their passionate night had been simply a meal he ate without knowing its flavor. He had no idea that Ning Jing could be filled with such sweetness as a freshly bloomed flower. How was he supposed to stop now? Meanwhile, Ning Jing’s mature ways belied her own gaping inexperience. She couldn’t Tang Li’s teasing ways and grew impassioned as well. Like lightning striking the earth, the two figures soon entwined themselves into one. Neither of them liked customs or propriety much, nor could either side be forced to do anything against their will. Somehow, they came to a compromise without even knowing the reasons why.

After the deed was done, Tang Li held Ning Jing tightly as he draped his outer robes over her form. Ning Jing was completely exhausted, but her mind was now clear. She knew what had just happened, as did Tang Li, who still remembered how she tasted. The two of them lay tiredly in the grass, her with her eyes shut, him staring at the clear skies. His face was still soaked in sweat, his breathing still labored.

A long stretch of silence later, Ning Jing finally spoke up. “Is that enough?”

“What?” Tang Li didn’t understand.

“If it is, then let me go. I’ve paid you back what I owed,” Ning Jing said coldly. She was already questioning why she’d accepted his advances and compromised for the copulation in the first place.

Stirred out of his daydreams, Tang Li simply turned over to pin Ning Jing beneath his body. “Jing Jing, your husband’s performance left you unsatisfied–”

“Tang Li!” Ning Jing snapped. “You shut up!”

“Aiya, so I said the wrong thing. Don’t get agitated, Jing Jing,” Tang Li grinned roguishly. “What I want to say is, did your husband’s performance displease you?”

But how was there any difference between “left you unsatisfied” and “displeased you” when he spoke in such a dubious, ambiguous tone?

“Get lost!” Ning Jing wanted to push him aside, but she was all out of strength. If possible, she’d fall asleep this instant.

“Jing Jing, let your husband hold you awhile. You’re really warm,” Tang Li said, even though he was already hugging her tight. Instead, Ning Jing just buried her head and bit him viciously on the shoulder.

Tang Li was left reeling in pain!

So much, that his lips pursed in reaction. But he endured it and let her bite him as he murmured by her ear. “Jing Jing, don’t worry. Your husband will definitely love you and dote on you. I won’t let you be bullied a bit.”

“Take back your flowery words. You’ve had your fun, so isn’t it time to let me go?” Ning Jing demanded.
