Chapter 1214: [TangNing] Let her wait

Xiao Lan wanted to kill herself?

Tang Li and Ning Jing exchanged a look, surprised. But that was all they felt.

“A’Li, Jing Jing, neither your father and I do anything about her. A’Li, what if you coax--”

“Tell her I’m busy!” Tang Li said impatiently. “She can do whatever she wants!”

“A’Li, you can’t--”

“Mother, neither of us have time!” Ning Jing interrupted next. “If she wants to die, she can hold out for one night. Let her wait!”

Ning Jing’s words were more brutal than Tang Li’s and even sounded mocking. Lady Tang couldn’t help smiling. It was unclear what Xiao Lan would feel after hearing those words, but Lady Tang wouldn’t bother passing them on. Otherwise, Xiao Lan’s temper might lead her to attack Ning Jing outright. Lady Tang knew her son and daughter-in-law’s tempers well. It was impossible to persuade them like this, so she was thinking up ideas when a servant girl arrived.

“Old Madame, the young Miss couldn’t find you and is raising a racket!” Naturally, the young Miss was none other than little Tang Tang.

“Aiya! My little darling!” Lady Tang stomped her feet fretfully. She forgot about all else and hurried back to her courtyard. Tang Zijin can take care of Xiao Lan! She didn’t want to kick up another row with his husband. Since he made this mess in the first place, he could clean it up himself! In any case, A’Li’s already come to his senses. Tang Zijin can’t scheme anymore!

Tang Li and Ning Jing couldn’t care less whether Lady Tang had left. The two of them were holding each other tightly beneath the covers. After missing each other for two years, they yearned for each other, body and soul! Even if the sky fell down, they wouldn’t want to part. Tang Li couldn’t help but sneeze next, followed by Ning Jing. It looked like their chill was quite serious, but neither of them cared. All they did was hold each other and share the warmth.

Abruptly, Tang Li’s hand began to grow restless. Sensing it immediately, Ning Jing didn’t reject him like the past, but leaned on his shoulder with her eyes shut, quietly feeling him touching her. Her face was calm to start, but as Tang Li began to do naughtier things beneath the covers, she creased her brows. Soon enough she was biting her lip and creasing her brows further. In the end, she couldn’t help giving out a tender moan.

It was only once, but it delighted Tang Li’s ears. He suddenly pulled up the covers over Ning Jing and pounced on her. Soon enough, he had taken off all her clothes as the two entwined with each other after a long reunion. They were like dry kindling caught on fire, raging to the skies. A single spark lit the flames to scorching temperatures!

They were like begonia blossoms shedding in the warmth of spring, cuddling each other amidst delicate waves on the steady bed. Like a pair of mandarin ducks, they spread themselves and caused surging waves as thick as wine, covered in the fragrance of sweat than glistened with a slightly transparent sheen…[1]

Rather than lovemaking, they seemed to fighting multiple rounds on the battlefield. In the end, the two were covered in sweat and had stopped sneezing or having runny noses. Just like that, their colds were cured as they fell into an exhausted but satisfied sleep.

They didn’t wake up until eight to nine the next morning.

Tang Li flipped right over to press Ning Jing beneath him, teasing her lower body as he chuckled. “Ning Jing, did you sleep enough?”

Before Ning Jing could reply, someone knocked on the doo. This time, it was Tang Zijin speaking. “Tang Li, come out! Fifth Elder is coming!”

Tang Li’s cheer faded into gloominess as he remained silent. Ning Jing was feeling much more energetic after a night’s sleep and asked doubtfully, “Tang Li, did you do something to her? Were you lying to me?!”

Tang Li immediately raised an hand and vowed, “If I really did something to Xiao Lan, I swear that I’ll never be able to get it up in my lifetime!”

Ning Jing was still stiff and serious, but Tang Li’s vow finally made her laugh. After galloping though the snowstorm to come back here, they’d been caught up between their emotions and the bitter cold to consider anything else. Now Ning Jing was far more prudent as she asked, “If you really didn’t do anything to her, did you see or touch her instead?”

Tang Li did his best to think back, but those memories were hazy. Still, he was certain he’d never done anything to let Ning Jing down.

“She was still under the covers, so I didn’t see anything?” Tang Li mused as he muttered. “As for touching…”

His expression stiffened before he braced himself to admit, “If we really want to get technical, then it should have been…”

“Should have been what?” Ning Jing was getting nervous.

“It should’ve been her who touched me first. Ning Jing, this is a plot! One that my father and Fifth Elder came up with!” Tang Li explained.

Tang Zijin was still knocking on the door, but neither Tang Li nor Ning Jing paid him any attention. Ning Jing narrowed her eyes and asked, “Xiao Lan touched you first?”

Tang Li nodded resolutely.

“Where did she touch you?” Ning Jing asked.

“Actually...actually it wasn’t really…” Tang Li stammered.

“You better tell me the truth!” Ning Jing demanded.

“It, it was just…” Looking at Ning Jing’s stormy features, Tang Li’s heart raced as he grew timid. Those who waited on their wives were dominated by them too. Reality proved to be true once again.

“Ning Jing, actually nothing happened. I only have one person in my heart!” Tang Li declared.

“I’m asking you, where did she touch you? Are you telling me or not?” Ning Jing blew her top.

“She only hugged me a bit from the back,” Tang Li explained hastily. In his memory it was actually two hugs and he’d even pushed her aside, but Tang Li would never say that out loud. If he admitted he’d almost mistook Xiao Lan for Ning Jing while he was drugged, he might never be able to touch her again.
