Chapter 1213: TangNing Finally reuniting (2/2)

“What are you doing? Haven’t you shamed yourself enough?” Ning Jing cursed.

Tang Li looked at her while licking his lips, still wearing a devious grin. Without a word, he tiled his head and suddenly kissed her again. It was a long time before he could bear to part from this display of public affection. He whistled for the horse to come over, then held Ning Jing and got on its back, intended to gallop for the Tang Clan.

He stopped teasing her to ask seriously, “Ning Jing, was I unconscious for a long time?”

“You forgot?” Ning Jing was surprised.

“I only remember I was at Clearbreeze Peak,” Tang Li said hastily. “Didn’t you fall into the sea of flames?”

Only then did Ning Jing tell him everything that had happened in the interim. Tang Li’s arms tightened around her waist the more she talked. Although Ning Jing did her best to summarize the details, he was no idiot! Judging from the words his father had said, he could imagine all the pressure Ning Jing had been shouldering!

“How did you come to your senses?” Ning Jing glanced back at him, finally realizing he was wearing nothing on top.

She had been so touched and happy to see him that she completely overlooked this detail.

“It’s so cold, where did your clothes go? What happened?” Ning Jing grew uneasy.

“My father locked me in a room and...and drugged me. He also stuffed a woman in with me,” Tang Li said, feeling stifled by the words. Just what did his father take him as?

Ning Jing froze before looking at him in shock. She seemed to think of something, but she didn’t voice her thoughts. Tang Li lowered his head and rested it against her forehead. “Nothing,” he muttered, “Nothing happened, I swear! My mother had people unlock the door and then I came to chase after you.”

Ning Jing stared at him, wanting to ask if it was Lady Tang who had given him the antidote. She had personally experienced how crazy this man acted while under the influence of drugs! Tang Li only panicked and cried, “Ning Jing, you don’t believe me?”

“I do. I never said I didn’t,” Ning Jing said hastily. Lady Tang must have been the one to give him the antidote.

Tang LI’s flustered heart finally calmed down. He held Ning Jing and planted multiple kisses on her forehead as if this was the only way to still his racing nerves. He was deathly afraid that she’d misunderstand and raise objections! He knew very well how strongwilled she could be.

Back at the Tang Clan, Tang Li and Ning Jing couldn’t stop sneezing as they’d both caught chills. Tang Li couldn’t care less what his father and Xiao Lan were up to now. He carried Ning Jing back to their courtyard first, then placed her on the bed with the covers wrapped tightly around her. Afterwards, he poured hr a cup of hot water before wrapping some fox furs around himself.

He was supposed to be a lord and gentleman who had everything handed to him as soon as he reached out a hand. But after marrying Ning Jing, he learned how to wait and serve on others. The only thing he was missing was helping Ning Jing wash up and change into her clothes.

He said, “Jing,’er, wait here. I’ll go make you some red bean soup right now, nice and hot!”

No matter how big Heaven or Earth could be, it was vastly more important for Ning Jing to eat her red bean soup!

Ning Jing could never bear to make do that! She said, “No need, you come here!”

Tang LI insisted on leaving, but Ning Jing’s voice turned stern. “Are you coming or not?”

Tang Li immediately ran over. Ning Jing drew him close and stuffed him under the covers with her, tucking him in nice and tight. She split the hot water in her glass with him while the two of them suffered through runny noses. Even though they were both sick, they were happy enough just lying side by side!

Ning Jing had never felt so carefree in all her life. She only felt like she could forget about everything now. She hoped that the snow tonight would fall forever until the end of time. She was willing to sleep next to Tang Li on the same bed and share his warmth forever.

In the stillness, they could actually hear the sound of falling snowflakes.

Tang LI opened his mouth and murmured, “Ning Jing, I...want to tell you something. When my big brother and sister-in-law left Three-Way Black MArket that day, I was going to find you for a talk. I…”

Tang Li suddenly grew embarrassed. He had bullied this woman mercilessly in the past, but now he was flustered over a single sentence. Afraid to meet her eyes, he held her and whispered, “Ning Jing, I...I really, really love you. Although I don’t know when I started, but...I really do love you very, very much.”

Ning Jing’s face flushed as she fell silent.

Tang Li waited for a while, but finally couldn’t bear it. He asked, “You...don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Ning Jing burst into giggles. “Nope.”

“You do!” Tang Jing was like a little child who didn’t get his candy as he began to fuss. “You do! Say it!”

“Nope! I really don’t have anything to say!” Ning Jing stubbornly refused to admit it.

The two of them began to mess around in bed before Lady Tang’s cough drifted in front outside. “A’Li, you’ve brought Ning Jing back, right?”

“I have. If there’s anything to say, save it for tomorrow! We’re sleepy!” Tang Li shouted back.

Lady Tang didn’t leave, but said, “A’Li, you two..you two should both come over. Xiao Lan, she...she says she wants to kill herself.”
