Because of Chen Ji's relentless pressure, Xu Ruantang had retreated to a position leaning against a pillar.
She stared at Chen Ji for a moment, then quickly stood up. Before she could take a step, Chen Ji grabbed her wrist.
When she came to her senses, she found that Chen Ji had grabbed both of her arms and was holding her behind her back.
"What are you doing? If you keep doing that, I'll bite you!"
She just removed the splints, and Chen Jizhen went crazy!
Chen Ji remained calm, his tone carrying a hint of unknowing indulgence, "Don't move around, loosen up your wrists."
Perhaps because he was too frank, Xu Ruantang unconsciously listened to him.
I tried moving my wrist, and my left arm, which was swollen and painful right after the splint was removed, is now miraculously much better.
Chen Ji released her, stood up, and gently tapped her forehead. "I knew you weren't listening."
After the splint was removed today, the doctor demonstrated the rehabilitation exercises she could do at home and instructed them to do the rehabilitation properly at home.
At that moment, Xu Ruantang was not listening at all; her eyes were on the screen, but her mind was elsewhere.
"Try again, ten at a time." Chen Jihao looked at her leisurely. "Go home after you're done."
Chen Ji taught her three rehabilitation exercises, and only after she finished doing them did he take her home.
They came home late; everyone in their family was already asleep.
Xu Ruantang returned to her room after taking a shower and suddenly realized what was happening.
That's not right!
She was trying to run away at that time...
Chen Ji inexplicably led her away, and even the slight awkwardness and fear in her heart suddenly disappeared.
Xu Ruantang sat on the stool by the window, covering her face with her hands and lost in thought.
Something feels off. Why do things always seem to spiral out of control towards the end?
It's as if there's a giant hand behind the scenes controlling everything.
She even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with her brain.
As soon as Chen Ji entered the room, he saw Xu Ruantang's nightgown haphazardly pressed down on the stool, with a section of her slender white legs sticking out.
She was unaware that she was covering her face, looking lost in thought.
Hearing the noise, she looked up, her watery eyes misty. "How are we going to sleep tonight?"
The Chen family didn't prepare two quilts for them, nor did they have Xiao Bao lying in the middle as a human dividing line.
Chen Ji lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the lips she had bitten again and again, his Adam's apple bobbing, "I'm going to find Mom and get a blanket back."
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
"Never mind." Xu Ruantang closed her eyes, as if she had made a decision to die for her country, stood up and walked straight to the bedside. "Just sleep quietly."
She got into bed first and lay down with her back to Chen Ji.
It's so late now. Putting aside the fact that Ye Lan is probably asleep, just the fact that he went to ask for a blanket will definitely make Ye Lan think that they had a fight.
If that's the case, nobody should get any sleep; there'll definitely be another round of persuasion.
Xu Ruantang even felt that if they were to sleep in the same bed, it was uncertain who would suffer.
The room lights went out, and soon a sound came from beside him, indicating that Chen Ji had already lain down and had even shifted his position.
"Did you buy the gold lock on the table?" Chen Ji's voice was gentle and mellow, like a babbling brook.
Strangely, Xu Ruantang felt that ever since he came in, he could smell a cool, refreshing fragrance.
In the darkness, she pursed her lips and said in a faint voice, "Mm."
"Turn around."
Those three short words made Xu Ruantang's heart skip a beat. "No, you're the Pacific police?"
"Um?"
Xu Ruantang muttered under her breath, "Old stubborn man, he doesn't even understand jokes that are older than my great-grandfather."
In the quiet night, Chen Ji's soft sigh was exceptionally clear.
The next second, Xu Ruantang was pulled into a strong embrace, and Chen Ji's voice was very low: "Wife, I'm sorry."
Although his expression was not visible, the guilt and disappointment in his tone were still very obvious.
"Chen Ji, do you know that the crime of hooliganism punishes you with eating peanuts?"
Xu Ruantang's serious tone elicited a soft chuckle from behind her, "But we are a legally married couple."
Xu Ruantang was furious with him and stretched out her arm to elbow him from behind.
A muffled groan came from behind.
Chen Ji didn't dodge, but took the hit head-on, still smiling as he said, "Wife, did you want to bite me during the day? I'm right here, turn around and bite me, I promise I won't move."
She knew she was strong, and that elbow strike hadn't been held back; with Chen Ji's reflexes, he could have easily dodged it.
Who knew he wouldn't dodge, and now he's saying things like that? Xu Ruantang couldn't help but laugh.
She used the patience of someone who had been killing fish at RT-Mart for over a decade to hold back and said in a serious tone, "Jin Suo is a first birthday gift I bought for Xiao Bao. I was planning to go and buy two bottles of Moutai together when you came back."
Unable to continue, she simply fell silent.
"Okay, we'll go buy it tomorrow."
Chen Ji's warm palm rested on Xu Ruantang's slender back, gently soothing her. His breath tickled her slightly.
Xu Ruantang didn't know how to respond.
This matter was inherently difficult, and she tried to put herself in the other person's shoes, but no matter whose perspective she took, there was no mistake.
It's not wrong for her and Chen Ji to be reluctant to part with their child.
It's not wrong for Gao Ying's parents to want their child back because of Gao Baoliang.
Gao Baoliang lost his wife, and now that he's finally back, he's understandably wanting his child back.
No one is at fault, so someone is destined to suffer. The resentment in one's heart has nowhere to go, making one feel suffocated and anxious.
"I'm not buying anymore." Xu Ruantang's voice was muffled, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her.
Xu Ruantang gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued, "Chen Ji, now that we're free from the trouble of the child, can we get a divorce?"
Chen Ji was like a thousand-year-old stone, his only thought was to keep her by having children.
If she doesn't speak up, does he intend to never open his mouth again? This guy has no idea how to date!
With a sudden twist of his arm around her, Xu Ruantang spun around.
Chen Ji suddenly leaned closer, his deep, playful voice slowly ringing in my ear: "Divorce? You think you can just get a divorce from a military marriage whenever you want?"
Xu Ruantang's eyes widened...
Chen Ji is a real scoundrel!
"Are you addicted to taking advantage?" Xu Ruantang glared at Chen Ji. "What are you planning, Buli?"
She turned around and realized that the moonlight was beautiful tonight.
The curtains of that era didn't block out the light, and moonlight streamed in through the window, allowing her to clearly see Chen Ji's well-defined face.
He has really lost weight.
Chen Ji accurately pulled her right hand and placed it on his chest, his voice tinged with nervousness, "Yes, I'm addicted, and I don't want to lie."
His heartbeat was fast, steady, and powerful, making it impossible to ignore.
"Honey, it says it likes you."
"Also, I like you too."
"So, don't think about leaving, stay, okay?"
Chen Ji's voice is deep, clear, and resonant, with a lingering resonance at the end.
Under the moonlight, his eyes were deep and clear. Xu Ruantang couldn't tell whether Chen Ji's heart was beating faster or hers was beating faster.
Chen Ji's usually narrow and cold eyes were filled with tenderness. His breathing became slightly heavier, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Wife, have you missed me while I was gone?"
