Chapter 140 So, are you two considered to have made up now?
Sang Ning noticed that Jing Muchi was in an unusually good mood after eating and drinking his fill.
I didn't deliberately pick a fight with her anymore.
afternoon.
Sang Ning was working on lesson plans at the dining table, while Jing Muchi didn't go out either. He asked Xu Hui to bring his work notebook over, and then sat on the sofa to work.
Sang Ning ignored him.
Since he doesn't want to leave, there's no way you can force him to leave. You might as well go along with him and let everyone get through this month peacefully.
Moreover, wherever Young Master Jing goes, he must have the best of everything. Her place is simple and cramped, and he probably won't be able to stand it for more than two days before he moves out.
After replying to an email, Jing Muchi looked up and glanced inadvertently at the dining table.
The woman sat quietly in the chair, not using a computer, but taking notes in a thick notebook.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft golden glow on her profile. She would occasionally adjust her glasses, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes writing furiously.
This was the first time Jing Muchi had seen her working so seriously; it was a completely different side of her from her usual well-behaved and adorable self.
He was so engrossed in watching that he suddenly remembered what she had said that morning.
She said she wanted to be herself.
So, is this the person she wants to be?
After finishing the last paragraph, Sang Ning put down her pen, raised her hand to rub her sore neck, and looked up to find the man staring at her intently.
Sang Ning felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jing Muchi snapped out of his reverie and smiled. "It's nothing. I just suddenly realized how beautiful my wife is when she's working hard, so I just glanced at her a few more times."
Unsurprisingly, Sang Ning blushed when he teased her.
Sometimes he thought Sang Ning was really interesting.
They've been married for three years and have done intimate things countless times, but every time he teases her a little, she still blushes shyly like a little girl.
Looking at the wall clock, Jing Muchi asked her, "Have you finished your work?"
Sang Ning: "It's done."
"Okay, let's go to the supermarket then."
Jing Muchi stood up.
Sang Ning looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What are you going to the supermarket for?"
"Buy me daily necessities."
Sanning:?
He could have easily had Xu Hui prepare these things for him with just a phone call, so why did he have to go in person?
She didn't really want to go grocery shopping with him, so she immediately pretended to be busy flipping through her notebook.
“Go by yourself. I suddenly remembered I have some work to do… Hey, hey, Jing Muchi, let go.”
The man dragged her straight back to her room.
"Will you change your clothes yourself, or should I change them for you?"
Jing Muchi gave her pajamas collar a threatening tug.
Sang Ning knew he was truly capable of personally changing her clothes, and after considering it, she could only say...
"I'll change it myself."
Jing Muchi inadvertently saw the hickey he had left on her neck through the opening of her collar.
Suddenly remembering something, he took a step closer, bending down to look her in the eye: "You were out for so long this morning, did you go to buy birth control pills?"
The sudden interrogation startled Sang Ning, making her heart tighten. "No, nothing."
Her trembling eyelashes behind her glasses and her unconfident tone clearly revealed her guilty conscience.
"Yeah?"
Jing Muchi slowly straightened up, and the next second, without warning, he quickly turned around and picked up the bag she had placed on the dressing table.
"What are you doing?"
Sang Ning rushed over and snatched the bag back, then held it tightly in her arms.
"If you didn't buy medicine, what are you hiding?"
Jing Muchi squinted at the bag in her arms, then beckoned with his finger, "Give it to me?"
Sang Ning took a deep breath. "Yes, I did buy medicine, but I didn't go to buy birth control pills."
Upon hearing this, Jing Muchi's eyes widened slightly. "If it's not birth control pills, then what did you buy?"
Sang Ning silently took out a tube of ointment from her bag and angrily handed it to him.
Jing Muchi took a look and his expression softened immediately after seeing the purpose of the ointment.
Last night... he was holding back his anger, and it had been too long since they had been intimate, so he was indeed... a bit fierce.
Now it was his turn to feel guilty. Jing Muchi couldn't care less about the birth control pills anymore. He glanced down at the woman who was pursing her lips and not speaking, took a step forward, took her hand, and asked in a low voice, "...Did I hurt you?"
Sang Ning blushed and lowered her head without saying a word.
"sorry."
Jing Muchi pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead gently and apologetically. "I'll be gentler next time."
Sang Ning's long eyelashes trembled, and she pushed him away, "We have no future..."
Upon hearing this, Jing Muchi's softened eyes instantly darkened, and he pulled the other person back into his arms. "What did you say?"
Looking at his ever-changing expression, Sang Ning was speechless.
Especially those dark eyes that stared intently at her, and that hand that was tightly gripping her waist...
It's as if he'd do something to her right now if she dared to say, "I won't be intimate with him anymore."
Sang Ning didn't want to provoke him, nor did she dare to confront him head-on.
She could only struggle free from him while whispering, "I mean... I'm still in some pain, so I can't do it for the next few days..."
Upon hearing this, Jing Muchi's expression softened.
"I understand, I won't do anything reckless these next couple of days."
After speaking softly, he pulled her back into his arms and tenderly kissed her cheeks and lips.
Sang Ning obediently let him kiss her for a while before pushing him away, "Didn't we say we were going to the supermarket? Can you go out first and let me change my clothes?"
It was rare for Jing Muchi to see her so obedient, and his unruly hair was immediately smoothed out. "Okay."
He kissed her lips again before letting go and turning to leave.
After he left the bedroom, Sang Ning quickly closed the door and then swiftly took out the birth control pills hidden in the dark compartment of her bag and put them into the box at the bottom of the dressing table where she kept her private items.
Fortunately, she had been careful at the pharmacy and bought an extra tube of ointment to mislead him; otherwise, he would have definitely discovered the birth control pills just now.
Half an hour later, the two went out to the supermarket together.

The next afternoon.
Sang Ning and Qin Shuzhi arranged to meet at a coffee shop in the mall.
Qin Shuzhi wasn't too surprised when Sang Ning said that Jing Muchi had moved in with her.
"So, are you two back together now?"
Make up?
Sang Ning put down her coffee cup. "I can't really describe our relationship as 'reconciliation,' since we never really broke up or had any hatred between us. The divorce... was just because we weren't suited to be together."
Qin Shuzhi was now confused. "Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
Sang Ning silently curved her lips into a smile. "No."
She looked down at the dark, thick coffee in her cup and said softly, "Our marriage was originally just a transaction that happened by accident."
Why do we say it was a lucky accident?
Because, given her status, she was simply not qualified to attend the birthday party hosted by her mother three years ago.
All the socialites who attended that night were personally vetted by Jing's mother; only those whose family backgrounds met her standards were invited.
Sang Ning's invitation was given by Jing Jinghe, the third young lady of the Jing family, who is also Jing Muchi's third sister.
