Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Bringing Her Home (Fourth Update)

"Smells so good." Tang Mingli looked at the soup; just the aroma made his stomach rumble with hunger.

Before feeding him, Wei Jiajia made sure to ask the doctor which foods he could eat and which ones he couldn’t.

Tang Mingli’s wound had just been stitched up, and sitting up was very difficult for him; he could barely eat with the support of a pillow.

At mealtime, Tang Yue initially wanted to help, but Wei Jiajia told her to eat first.

Tang Yue, thinking that Wei Jiajia would be her future little aunt and considering this a chance for them to develop a deeper bond, didn’t compete with Wei Jiajia for the task.

After the meal, Tang Yue quickly cleaned everything up.

"Tang Mingli, today was really dangerous," Wei Jiajia couldn’t help but still feel terrified.

"Jiajia, if it were you, I would have rescued you without any hesitation as well," Tang Mingli said word for word, his mind was blank at that critical moment—all he thought was that he couldn’t let Xiao Yue get hurt.

Even if he got injured himself, he couldn’t let anything happen to Xiao Yue.

Later on, due to the incident involving Wei Jiajia, his wound got strained. Although it hurt, he was happy that he could protect the people he wanted to protect with his own strength.

"Tang Mingli." Wei Jiajia sat in front of the hospital bed and couldn’t help but hold his hand and say, "Let’s get married. Hurry up and take me home."

Wei Jiajia was lively and fearless like a boy since childhood. Today’s event made her realize that she had to marry Tang Mingli in this lifetime. Since that was the case, she wanted to get married sooner.

"Ah..." Tang Mingli swallowed hard, not at all expecting Wei Jiajia to jump to this topic so suddenly.

"What, you don’t want to marry me?" Wei Jiajia widened her eyes, looking at him unblinkingly with teary, glittering eyes and said, "Dating without the intention of marriage is just hooliganism."

"What, are you planning to be a hooligan?" Wei Jiajia puffed up her cheeks, which looked extremely cute no matter how one saw it.

Tang Mingli quickly explained, "Jiajia, I’m serious. How could it be hooliganism? It’s just that I have nothing right now, and I feel you would suffer and be wronged to be with me."

Wei Jiajia wasn’t concerned about all that; she said, "I’m not afraid of hardship. Do you simply not want to marry me? Did you agree to date me just because I wouldn’t leave you alone?"

"Do you think that after dating for a while, you’ll tell me we’re not suitable and want to break up?"

As soon as Wei Jiajia thought of this possibility, her eyes filled with glistening tears as she looked pitifully at Tang Mingli and said, "I’ve only dated you in my life. If you don’t marry me, then I’ll... I’ll..."

Wei Jiajia couldn’t think of anything to say at that moment, and her hand was suddenly held tightly by a pair of larger hands.

Wei Jiajia looked up.

Tang Mingli said solemnly, "Jiajia, if you’re not afraid of following me and suffering, of being wronged, I’d wish to marry you and take you home tomorrow."

"Really?" Wei Jiajia’s eyes immediately shone with light.

"Of course, it’s true," Tang Mingli said with a soft smile.

"That’s great." Wei Jiajia threw herself excitedly into Tang Mingli’s embrace.

’Hiss’

Tang Mingli’s wound was strained again, and he couldn’t help but inhale sharply in pain.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry." Wei Jiajia reacted belatedly, realizing he was injured, and hurriedly apologized: "I didn’t mean to."

"It’s okay." Tang Mingli’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but he managed a shallow smile: "Jiajia, I’m not good with words, but what I want to say is, as long as Tang Mingli is alive, no one will ever bully you."

"Okay." Wei Jiajia’s smile grew even sweeter.

Outside.

Tang Yue was incredibly surprised; she hadn’t expected the little aunt to win him over so quickly!

Hmm, could this be considered a blessing in disguise?

Tang Yue couldn’t help feeling happy for Tang Mingli; Wei Jiajia was a good person with a smart mind. The way she had risked her own safety to help the uncle proved her genuine feelings.

Tang Yue wasn’t in a hurry to go in now; instead, she went to the doctor’s office to inquire about what to be mindful of when Tang Mingli’s wounds were healing.

Tang Yue asked very detailed questions, even though she had a great memory, she was still afraid of missing something, until the doctor, growing impatient, specifically wrote a note of precautions for Tang Yue.

"Thank you, Doctor." Tang Yue was thrilled, taking the note more seriously than memorizing a textbook.

Just as she arrived at the door of the ward, she saw Wei Jiajia standing there, her face flushed, looking around.

"What’s wrong, Sister Jiajia?" Tang Yue asked with concern, fearing something unexpected had happened with the uncle.

"Xiao Yue, where have you been?" Wei Jiajia, seeing Tang Yue, quickly pulled her into the room, while saying: "Your little uncle is worried about you. He kept urging me to find you since you were gone for so long."

"Little uncle, I went to see the doctor to ask about the precautions." Tang Yue raised the paper in her hand.

Wei Jiajia snatched it away, eager to memorize the precautions on the paper just like Tang Yue.

"Little uncle, thank you." Tang Yue sat in front of the hospital bed and spoke sincerely. Even though saying ’thank you’ might seem distant, if she didn’t say it, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep that night.

"Silly girl, you’re my niece, who else would I save if not you?" Tang Mingli said with feigned anger: "Now I have an answer for your second uncle and aunt. Otherwise, if they forbid me to take you out next time, I’d be too late even if I cried."

Tang Mingli spoke in a light-hearted manner, reassuring her: "Xiao Yue, you don’t have to blame yourself too much. Today’s incident was just an accident. If it were you, would you ignore your little uncle if he were in trouble?"

"Of course not." Tang Yue replied without hesitation.

"See, that’s it. Next time, you save me," Tang Mingli said in jest.

Tang Yue shook her head: "Little uncle, once is enough for such things, let me have this one time advantage."

At that moment, Tang Yue still felt her body trembling.

"That’s true." Tang Mingli replied, a bit slow on the uptake. He definitely didn’t want such a thing to happen again.

Wei Jiajia chimed in: "Mingli, Xiao Yue is right, once is enough for things like this. I know you two are close as uncle and niece, but you don’t need to prove it with such dangerous acts."

Wei Jiajia’s gaze met with Tang Mingli’s, their affection more intense than before, more blatant.

"Ah, little uncle, looks like I’ll have a little aunt very soon." Tang Yue teased. "Little uncle, little aunt, you guys go ahead and nurture your relationship. I’ll go outside for a walk."

Tang Yue left the ward, giving the two some space.
