"But you were so weak earlier..."

Ruan Tianling pulled her body over, letting her lie on top of him.

"Don’t say your husband is weak, understand?"

So stubborn...

Jian Yufei leaned lightly against him, "Is your body really okay now? Has the medicine’s effect... worn off?"

If it hasn’t worn off, he can touch her now.

Jian Yufei looked up, her bright and clear eyes gazing at him, the meaning unspoken but clear.

Ruan Tianling smiled, "The effect has worn off."

"Don’t push yourself so hard next time, I was really worried something might happen to you."

"Okay."

Ruan Tianling couldn’t help but cup her face, kissing her cheek.

Jian Yufei initiated a kiss on his lips, but Ruan Tianling had some wounds in his mouth, and there was still the taste of fresh blood.

He couldn’t kiss her, so he avoided her move.

Jian Yufei blinked, puzzled.

Ruan Tianling felt he still needed to be honest with her.

Otherwise, his wife might doubt his loyalty.

"There’s something I want to confess to you."

"What is it?" Jian Yufei saw his serious expression and she became serious too.

Ruan Tianling lowered his head, whispering softly in her ear.

...

Jian Yufei’s eyes widened in shock, her face turning a bit pale.

She looked at him reproachfully yet with heartache, and Ruan Tianling knew she would react this way.

He bit her ear lightly, his voice soft, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

"How can you say you’ll be fine!" Jian Yufei also lowered her voice but couldn’t hide her anger.

He actually did something so dangerous to deal with Nangong Xu.

Ruan Tianling hugged her tightly, burying his head in her shoulder nook.

"Don’t you trust the medicine your father-in-law made? Besides, I have the antidote."

"But it’s still very risky."

"After the day after tomorrow, everything will be fine..."

Jian Yufei held him tightly and couldn’t bring herself to reproach him anymore.

Taking the poison that makes his blood highly toxic was also to deal with Nangong Xu.

Everything he did was for everyone’s good; she had no right to blame him.

"What will you do then?" Jian Yufei asked softly.

Ruan Tianling was also a bit troubled, "As long as he takes my blood, or if my blood infects his wound, it will work. By then, I’ll do whatever it takes to wound him."

Jian Yufei thought of the needle she secretly kept, maybe it could be used as a weapon for him.

"And after that, how will we leave here?"

"I have my ways." Ruan Tianling gently stroked her hair and said no more.

In fact, as long as Nangong Xu is dead, he can find a way to leave here.

Anyway, he would think of many ways to get out by then.

...

They soaked in the bathtub for half an hour before finishing the bath.

Both of their clothes were dirty, so they had to wrap themselves in towels to go out.

Jian Yufei let Ruan Tianling lie down to rest while she went downstairs to fetch a bottle of alcohol.

There was no medical kit here, and Nangong Xu didn’t intend to treat Ruan Tianling’s injuries.

So they could only use alcohol to disinfect Ruan Tianling’s wounds.

Fortunately, Jian Yufei had a few clean pieces of clothing; she tore them into strips to wrap around his more severely injured areas.

Ruan Tianling was actually still very tired, and soon fell asleep again after lying on the bed for a short while.

Jian Yufei went to the bathroom to wash both of their clothes and then went downstairs to make something to eat.

Nangong Xu didn’t care about them at all, but still had people prepare some ingredients for them every day.

However, they were only very simple vegetables.
