Chapter 10

Before he could ask, Tian Yufang took Jiang Ning’s hand and said to Ji Yanli, “Son, this is your wife, Jiang Ning. If it weren’t for her, you would be dead.”

Ji Yanli looked at Jiang Ning, with even more doubt in his eyes. When did he get a wife?

Jiang Ning felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him and looked away.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Ji Yanli asked.

Tian Yufang then told him everything that had happened before.

After hearing this, Ji Yanli felt mixed emotions.

He didn’t expect so many things to happen while he was in a coma, nor did he expect that this woman named Jiang Ning would be his bride for good fortune.

Ji Yanli looked at Jiang Ning and sighed deeply: “Grandma is superstitious again… I’m sorry for getting you into trouble.”

Jiang Ning looked at him calmly, raised the corner of his mouth, and said nothing.

At this time, Mrs. Ji also walked into the house, holding her eldest grandson’s hand and crying with joy. She talked a lot about thanking the immortal and burning incense and kowtowing to him…

Tian Yufang asked her daughter to go to the field to find her father and tell him that her brother had woken up. Upon hearing this, Ji Yansui ran out the door without stopping.

At this time, Ji Hongzhi and several other old men in the village were planting rice seeds.

Ji Yansui ran to the edge of the field and shouted to Ji Hongzhi, panting heavily, “Dad, my brother is awake!”

Ji Hongzhi paused, his eyes full of surprise, “Really?”

“Really, my mother asked me to call you back.” Ji Hongzhi didn’t have time to say more. He handed the work in his hands to others and hurried home with Ji Yansui.

When Ji Hongzhi returned home and saw Ji Yanli waking up, his eyes reddened, “It’s good that you woke up, it’s good that you woke up!”

Ji Yanli forced a smile and said, “Dad, I made you worried.”

Mrs. Ji said on the side: “This is all thanks to Jiang Ning. If she hadn’t come to bring good luck, how could Yan Li get better so quickly?”

Jiang Ning stood aside, feeling a little uncomfortable when he heard this.

The Ji family gathered around Ji Yanli and talked for a long time before they all stood up and left, leaving the space for the young couple to talk more and enhance their relationship.

Ji Yanli looked at Jiang Ning and said seriously, “Miss Jiang, no matter what, I will accept your kindness.

If you have any questions in the future, just let me know.”

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and said softly, “You’re welcome, but calling me ‘Miss Jiang’ is so strange. Are you unwilling to admit your mistake and planning to divorce me?”

Ji Yanli was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Jiang Ning in confusion, not knowing how to respond.

Let’s say they don’t want to divorce. They just met for the first time and got married for the purpose of “bringing good luck to the couple”. There is really no emotional foundation between them.

If we talk about divorce, it would make him seem heartless and ungrateful.

“You don’t have to feel any psychological burden. Even if you don’t mention it, I will bring it up when you get better.” Jiang Ning continued calmly.

Ji Yanli didn’t expect Jiang Ning to be so straightforward. He felt a little complicated and spoke carefully.

“I’ve caused you trouble, but if we get divorced now, it won’t be good for you or me. Besides, my grandmother is old, and I’m afraid she can’t accept it. Why don’t you stay at my house first? I’ll find a good place for you after some time.”

Jiang Ning chuckled: “You are indeed filial, but I also have my own plans. I want a divorce, not because I am afraid of a bad reputation. I have the ability to support myself.”

Ji Yanli looked at the woman in front of him who seemed weak but had a stubborn streak, and couldn’t help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

At this moment, Tian Yufang came in with a bowl of brown sugar water, “Ningning, Yanli just woke up, she needs more nourishment.”

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat solemn, Tian Yufang smiled and said, “You two can chat slowly. Drink this sugar water while it’s hot.”

Jiang Ning looked at the tangshui and thought to himself, “Okay, I can talk about this marriage later, when you recover.”

Ji Yanli nodded when he heard this, “Okay, I promise you.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy.

Jiang Ning sat on the edge of the bed and didn’t want to talk, so she supported her head with one hand and closed her eyes to rest.

She didn’t get enough rest last night, so she was really sleepy at the moment, and soon fell asleep on the bed.

Ji Yanli silently turned his head to look at Jiang Ning. He saw that her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her face had a tranquility after being tired.

Ji Yanli felt something inexplicably moving in his heart. He gently pulled a corner of the quilt, wanting to cover Jiang Ning, but accidentally touched her hand.

Jiang Ning was awakened by the slight touch and opened her eyes instantly. She looked at Ji Yanli with deep eyes.

“what you do?”

“Do you want to come to the bed and lie down for a while?” Ji Yanli said after hesitating for a moment.

“No need.” Jiang Ning said as he stood up and walked to the desk and sat down with his back to him.

“I heard from my mother that you are from the next village. Are you a doctor?” Ji Yanli opened his mouth and tried to make small talk.

“Well, my father is the village doctor. I have learned a lot of skills from him since I was a child.”

Jiang Ning supported his head and answered tiredly.

“So, where did you take me for the surgery?” Ji Yanli couldn’t help but ask.

In fact, he didn’t just wake up, but he was not conscious yet. Before he could see anything clearly, he fell into a coma again.

When Jiang Ning was lying on the CT machine to rest, he woke up. Although it was only a brief awakening, he also saw the unfamiliar environment he was in.

But as soon as he asked this question, Jiang Ning, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened them, and the sleepiness in his eyes completely disappeared.

She stood up and rushed to Ji Yanli, holding a saber against his neck, “When did you wake up?”

Ji Yanli was stunned by this sudden action. He didn’t expect Jiang Ning to react so strongly.

“It was… just a short moment. My head was dizzy and I couldn’t see clearly around me.” He explained frankly.

Jiang Ning looked alert, “What did you see?”

Ji Yanli shook his head lightly, “I saw the cold walls of Xizhou and a lamp above my head, and then I fell into a coma again.”

Jiang Ning frowned and stared into his eyes, seeing that his eyes were calm and he didn’t look like he was lying.

Ji Yanli looked at Jiang Ning’s nervous expression and guessed something in his heart, “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything nonsense. You saved me, I won’t hurt you.”

Jiang Ning stared into his eyes for a long time before slowly putting down his saber.

“Actually, even if you tell others, it doesn’t matter. No one can do anything to me.”

Ji Yanli breathed a sigh of relief, “I understand. This is also a secret between us.”

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes at him and chuckled, “This is my secret, not yours.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanli’s lips curled up slightly and he nodded to show that he understood.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.

Jiang Ning got up and went out to check. It turned out that the villagers heard that Ji Yanli had woken up, and everyone came to see him curiously.

Jiang Ning stood at the door and politely greeted the villagers, “Everyone, please don’t crowd. Yan Li just woke up and needs more rest.”

The villagers nodded, their faces full of curiosity and concern.

“Jiang girl, you are really a great contributor to the Ji family. If it weren’t for you, the child Yanli would be in danger.” An old lady said to Tian Yufang while holding Jiang Ning’s hand.

Tian Yufang nodded in agreement, “Yes, Ningning is a blessed child.”

Jiang Ning smiled faintly, “It’s Yanli’s own good fortune.”

Half an hour later, the crowd gradually dispersed, and only Ji Yanli and Jiang Ning were left in the room.

“I just heard about your situation from the villagers.” Ji Yanli said.

“The villagers really have nothing to say.” Jiang Ning frowned.

Ji Yanli looked at Jiang Ning and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I’m here, no one can bully you.”

Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She looked at Ji Yanli and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “Thank you. I appreciate your kindness.”
