Chapter 49 Perhaps... she likes Shen Mo

Shen Mo's embrace was broad and strong. Jiang Ning listened to his frantic heartbeat as he was anxious, nestled in his arms, and felt a strange sense of grievance rise in her heart.

She reached out and grabbed Shen Mo's shirt at the chest. "However, I'm still a little scared."

"Don't be afraid," Shen Mo comforted her, even reaching out to gently pat Jiang Ning on the back.

The night air was always a bit chilly, and as a gust of wind swept by, Jiang Ning instinctively shivered.

Shen Mo quickly took off his clothes and draped them over Jiang Ning, then effortlessly picked her up.

It wasn't a romantic princess carry; instead, he had Jiang Ning sit in his strong arms, like he was holding a child.

Jiang Ning was stunned. Although she wasn't heavy, she still weighed about 90 pounds. How could this man carry her so easily?

Huang Xiaodong, still sitting on the ground, was struck dumb when he heard Jiang Ning say she was scared. He still vividly remembered that the little woman nestled in the man's arms had just ruined the lives of those three hooligans.

Jiang Ning pushed him, "You, you should put me down."

Everyone else carries her in a princess carry, but this man either hoists her up or treats her like a child.

"Are you scared?"

Shen Mo ignored her and put her down, continuing to hold her in his arms.

Holding her in his arms felt just like the first time he carried her; his wife felt so light and airy.

My wife eats quite a lot, so why doesn't she gain weight? Maybe I'm not buying enough meat. I should buy more in the future.

He carried her toward the family compound. Watching their interaction, Huang Xiaodong felt as if he was starving, but had already eaten something and was full.

When Shen Mo carried Jiang Ning to the gate of the family compound, he told the soldiers at the gate about the three thugs who were still unconscious not far away, and asked them to detain them and send them to the police station the next day.

Jiang Ning was carried home by Shen Mo.

Nowadays, people don't have much of a nightlife. After dark, most households close their doors to get some rest before heading to work the next day.

When they arrived at the entrance of the family compound, the soldiers' eyes darted around them and they asked Shen Mo to put her down. But Shen Mo refused to put her down and carried her all the way home.

As Shen Mo carried Jiang Ning home, his heart was far from calm.

They remained silent throughout the journey.

He kept thinking about how to protect Jiang Ning, since he spent most of his time in the military camp and didn't have much time to be by her side to protect her.

The more he thought about it, the worse his mood became, and his complexion turned ugly.

He wasn't upset about becoming a soldier; protecting his country was his dream. He was only upset that he couldn't properly protect his wife.

Jiang Ning, nestled in his arms, noticed the change in his expression and suddenly reached out to cup his face in her hands.

Suddenly, I felt a soft, white touch on my face.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Ning reached out and cupped his face in her hands. The moment their eyes met, she could roughly guess what he was thinking.

She said, "Don't feel guilty."

A soldier's first priority must be his country.

Jiang Ning's profession is different from his, but as a doctor, patients must be their top priority.

Shen Mo was surprised that she had seen through his thoughts.

Jiang Ning said, "I will take good care of myself, don't worry."

Feeling guilty and remorseful, Shen Mo agreed, "Okay, don't worry."

It wasn't until the next day, when Jiang Ning saw Shen Mo at the entrance of the clinic, that she realized he was just talking.

She usually leaves work around the same time as Shen Mo, but sometimes she leaves a little later because of patients. Today she left late because a patient arrived just as she was leaving get off work.

Just as Jiang Ning was giving acupuncture to a patient suffering from bloating and discomfort, Shen Mo appeared at the entrance of the clinic.

Jiang Ning is very focused when treating patients, and she only noticed Shen Mo at the door after removing the silver needles.

"Why are you here?" Her beautiful eyes fell on him, somewhat surprised and delighted.

"I've come to pick you up." Looking into his wife's bright eyes, Shen Mo immediately realized that he should come to pick her up more often.

Grandpa Huang went into the mountains to find herbs again today. Huang Xiaodong wasn't there either, so Jiang Ning had to treat people and prescribe medicine.

"Okay, wait for me."

She prescribed medicine for the patient, tidied herself up, and then followed Shen Mo out of the clinic.

As Jiang Ning stepped out of the clinic, she saw the bicycle outside. It looked very new and must have just been bought.

The back seats were also thoughtfully covered with foam padding.

Shen Mo walked over, straddled the bicycle with one leg on the ground and the other on the pedal.

He held the dragon's head in one hand and stretched the other out to Jiang Ning, saying, "Come here."

Jiang Ning walked over and handed him her hand, and Shen Mo led her to sit sideways in the back seat.

Jiang Ning was wearing a skirt, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to just strut on it; that would be too reckless.

Seeing that she was wearing a dress, Shen Mo took off his own clothes and carefully helped her put them on, then buttoned them up. The dress just covered all of Jiang Ning's legs.

The clothes fit Shen Mo perfectly, making her look like a child wearing an adult's clothes.

Shen Mo saw that Jiang Ning was wearing his clothes.

It gave him the illusion that she was in his arms.

Shen Mo blushed at the thought. They had hugged and slept together, but he still couldn't help blushing when he was alone with Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning liked his shyness; he was very funny when he blushed and became flustered.

Shen Mo is really simple.

She likes simple people.

Perhaps... she likes Shen Mo.

She suddenly wanted to test whether Shen Mo was kind to her because she was his wife, or because he liked her as a person.

Most men in this era are very responsible; they will see things through to the end if it is their responsibility.

After sitting down, Jiang Ning stretched out her fair and slender arm and wrapped it around the man's strong waist, openly putting her arm around his waist and also openly touching his abs.

Shen Mo noticed that his wife seemed to be getting closer to him lately. Without him even mentioning it, she took the initiative to hug him.

My heart started pounding wildly.

However, before the joy could last even a few seconds, they suddenly heard—

"Shen Mo, when can we get a divorce?"
