Xu Ruantang pulled her hand away and said weakly, "No need to rub it anymore, I... it doesn't hurt anymore."
I wonder if Chen Ji heard that "husband" just now. She's completely dead inside, wishing she could dig a hole and bury her head in it.
In a moment of panic, I blurted it out, and now I'm so embarrassed I want to bang my head against the wall.
Chen Ji's lips curled into a faint smile as he looked up at her. "Really? Since it's working so well, massage it a little longer."
Xu Ruantang: "......"
Feeling guilty, she didn't dare to meet Chen Ji's gaze. Besides, they were so close, and their posture was so ambiguous.
Her heart was pounding wildly, but she calmly raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine, then you can massage it."
As she said this, Xu Ruantang's eyes darted around, but she avoided looking at Chen Ji.
Her gaze shifted, and she was drawn to the scene in the kitchen.
Tang Wan stood behind Chen Zheng and helped him untie his apron.
She didn't take off the apron directly, but instead stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Chen Zheng's waist, and the apron was slowly removed.
Chen Zheng turned his head, and the two were talking. Chen Zheng smiled and lowered his head to kiss Tang Wan's forehead.
Xu Ruantang stared at one spot for a long time, a strange smile on her face. Chen Ji was curious about what she had seen, so he turned around and followed her.
Xu Ruantang had just turned her head when she exclaimed "Ah!"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ji turned around to look at her, and a White Rabbit candy was stuffed into his mouth.
Xu Ruantang's face flushed slightly, and her eyes blinked like autumn water. "Grandma gave me this White Rabbit milk candy, you should eat it! Grandma said there wasn't much, and told me not to give it to anyone else, so I'm only giving it to you."
Her tone was somewhat urgent, and a thin, shimmering light flickered in her eyes.
Chen Ji took her hand and slowly put the candy into his mouth, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Okay."
After Xu Ruantang finished feeding him, she quickly shrank back. She sat further away, her right hand holding her left, as if afraid that Chen Ji would touch her again.
She lived in constant fear!
If Chen Ji had turned around just now, he would have definitely seen Chen Zheng and Tang Wan being intimate, how embarrassing would that have been!
"Chen Ji, do you want to go to sleep with Ruan Tang for a while?"
Chen Zheng pulled Tang Wan out of the kitchen and saw that the two of them were still sitting on the sofa, so he said.
Xu Ruantang was already sleepy, but her eyes lit up when she heard there was a bed to sleep in.
Chen Ji leaned slightly forward, pulled her to her feet, and said in an unusually gentle tone, "Come on, I'll sleep with you for a while."
have to!
They're putting on an act again!
She thought this to herself, but in practice she still cooperated, deliberately using a high-pitched, coquettish voice to say, "Okay."
I wanted to say something more, but my mind just wouldn't work, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't say anything.
She simply gave up.
The two walked to the innermost room on the first floor. Chen Ji opened the door and pulled her inside.
The room was simply furnished with a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe, but the space was quite large.
"You like pink bed sheets?"
Xu Ruantang looked at the pink cotton sheets on the bed, then turned around and stared at Chen Ji in astonishment.
Chen Ji's bed at home is quite large, at least larger than the one he had in the family compound.
"My mom changed it, go to sleep now."
As Chen Ji spoke, he pulled Xu Ruantang to the bedside, pulled back the thin blanket on the bed, and put the pillows back in place.
"Go up."
"And what about you?" Xu Ruantang was a little embarrassed. It was only a short nap time, and it was at Chen Ji's house. She couldn't very well let him sleep on the floor, could she?
Chen Ji turned his head, his deep eyes narrowing slightly. "I told you, I'll sleep with you."
Xu Ruantang: "......"
There's no need for that. Is this person unable to break out of character?
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm going to read a book over there for a while."
Chen Ji walked to the desk, took out a book, sat down, and never looked up again.
Xu Ruantang then took off her shoes and went to bed, feeling relieved. She was really tired and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
After a long while, Chen Ji put down the book in his hand and his gaze slowly fell on the bed.
......
Early Sunday morning.
Xu Ruantang still dreams of meeting handsome men. Although she doesn't know what they look like, the man in her dream is very gentle and has a beautiful voice.
She was woken up by Chen Ji and then remembered that she was supposed to accompany him to the hospital today.
It's a pity I didn't get a good look at what the handsome guy looks like!
Before leaving, she approached Aunt Wang and said, "Godmother, Liu Xue from the next courtyard is coming to our house today. Can you make her a dress based on the design I drew? She'll give you money, so just keep it."
Aunt Wang was overjoyed. What a great thing! She readily agreed.
Xu Ruantang and Chen Jigang arrived at the hospital and ran into Cheng Dan at the main entrance.
Cheng Dan was wearing a white lab coat and had makeup on.
Upon seeing Chen Ji, he quickly approached and said, "Chen Ji, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go."
Xu Ruantang was stunned. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
They've been rejected like a sieve, and they're still going after them?!
Chen Ji frowned when he saw her. "No need to trouble Dr. Cheng, my wife can come with me."
He took Xu Ruantang's hand and walked around Cheng Dan into the hospital.
Xu Ruantang felt like she had become a mere tool!
Many people at the military hospital knew Chen Ji, and he would introduce Xu Ruantang to everyone he met as his wife.
At first, Xu Ruantang didn't understand what he was doing, but after going to the toilet, she understood everything.
Toilets are always a breeding ground for gossip.
"Have you heard? Regiment Commander Chen Ji is back! His leg is all better, and he's here at our hospital for a check-up today."
"I knew it! No wonder Cheng Dan was all dressed up and strutting around the hospital entrance this morning. Her fiancé's back? She never gets to work weekends before, thanks to her dad!"
"What fiancé? You believe her? Commander Chen came with his wife!"
"What?! Commander Chen got married? When did that happen?! Cheng Dan must be devastated!"
"Commander Chen brought his wife for a follow-up check-up. You didn't see how attached he was to her. They were so loving, even I was envious!"
"Dr. Cheng is quite pitiful too. She cried the most when Commander Chen was injured."
"Hmph, crocodile tears! I was in charge of that ward. When Cheng Dan's family found out that Commander Chen would be crippled, they left without even entering the ward! They even told Cheng Dan to give up on him!"
Besides, Cheng Dan is nowhere near as good as Commander Chen's wife. She's young and beautiful, her face is so delicate it looks like you could pinch water out of it—it breaks my heart to see her like that! What blind man would abandon his young wife for an old woman like Dr. Cheng!
"You better watch out, or she might overhear you and we're both finished!"
"Let's go, let's go back to the office and talk."
Xu Ruantang's legs were numb, and she didn't dare to leave the restroom. She waited until the two left before following them out.
Chen Ji waited for her outside, his tall and elegant figure attracting a lot of attention.
There are probably many people here who are curious about how his leg is no longer lame and how he was able to return to the army, and they gossip about his relationship with Dr. Cheng Dan.
Xu Ruantang limped toward him, but someone beat her to it—
