Chapter 1208: TangNing A good omen (2/2)

Alarmed, Ning Jing whirled back just as Tang Li added, “If you’re not happy, let’s leave.”

His expression was still dull, but this was the first time he’d said such words! When she was sad or unhappy in the past, he typically did nothing but stare at her and stay by her side! The tears Ning Jing tried so hard to stop poured out again as she threw herself in Tang Li’s arms.

“You bulllied me, Tang Li! It was all you! All you!”

Sadness and joy mixed in her heart as Ning Jing finally saw a hint of hope amidst her despair.

“Me?” Tang Li muttered to himself. “I...I....”

Ning Jing grew nervous as she looked at him. “Yes, you. You bullied me.”

“Me?” Tang Li seemed to be thinking as he knitted his brows.

Ning Jing was even more nervous. After all, Tang Li had never looked so concentrated over the past few moments besides the times he mumbled “Jing Jing” to himself. Nothing else mattered to him. She was afraid to move as she waited with taut nerves.

Unfortunately, all Tang Li did was repeat “me” a few times before devolving to his usual pattern. “Jing Jing, I miss Jing Jing…”

“Tang Li, think it over carefully! Who are you?!” Ning Jing said loudly.

Tang LI didn’t react. Ning Jing steeled her heart and pulled him down to kiss him on the lips. As usual, Tang Li didn’t react. He was like a block of wood that allowed Ning JIng to do as she wished. The stubborn Ning Jing dragged him inside the room, threw Lady Tang’s medicine outside, and slammed the door shut.

Inside, Tang Li remained wooden as he looked blankly at Ning Jing without a reaction. Ning Jing gritted her teeth and began to take off her clothes. By the time she was standing naked in front of Tang Li, she clearly saw his expression change--to one of amazement, and the intense stare she knew so well from him.

“Jing Jing…” he began muttering again as he stepped towards her.

“Tang Li, who am I? Who are you? Speak!” Ning Jing said loudly.

Tang Li ignored her. His gaze seemed fixated on her body and its beauty. This was the first time Ning Jing had seen such vitality in his gaze, so much it stunned her. His stare right now was identical to his original self!

“Tang Li…” she murmured, desperately wishing that he could tell her everything was alright now.

Instead, Tang Li suddenly picked her up and headed for the bed. When he started kissing her, Ning Jing almost believed this man had returned to his senses and knew who they were. Everything was so familiar. The habits of the past hadn’t changed at all. He could still torment her to the edge of death and back. In the end, he laid across her as always, refusing to get up. Ning Jing didn’t chase him off, but quietly hugged him and asked, “Tang Li, do you like me?”

“I like,” he immediately answered.

“Do you know who I am?” Ning Jing asked next.

“Jing Jing,” he replied.

“Do you know who Jing Jing is to you?” Ning Jing pressed on.

“Wife,” Tang Li said.

“What is a ‘wife?’” Ning Jing asked.

Abruptly, Tang Li looked lost and shook his head.

After this time, Tang Li had an additional change. Whenever they went to bed at night, he had the habit of turning over and wanting her. Ning Jing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, much less how to tell Doctor Gu about this development. Did this count as a good omen?

Ning Jing had promised to try her best and get pregnant, so Lady Tang began telling her about all of the weapons manufacturing details so she could give ideas. Mother and daughter-in-law now had one more task in common besides helping Tang Li recover. With Ning Jing supporting her, Lady Tang could now handle matters with skill.

In a flash, the end of the year was upon them, and Tang Zijin was set to return…
