The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 101
Jia Li thought that her heart would melt and slip out of her body . But she also knew that she couldn't afford to be swayed by these eyes . The love in them belonged to another, she had absolutely no right on it . All she had to do was persevere for the next few hours . Determined, she changed the topic slightly .
"Don't give me that look . Your innocent act won't work on me . Because of you, I didn't have a single friend in school, apart from Li Jie and Chung . The girls were jealous of me and stayed away . As for the boys, poor things never stood a chance with the three of you acting as my unwanted bodyguards," she complained .
Tang grinned unabashedly, almost proudly at her statement . She reached out to punch him hard on his shoulder in retaliation . Not the one to miss an opportunity, he pulled her on top of him and planted a kiss on her nose .
"Which boyfriend in his right mind would let a girl like you be in the company of another guy? As I have said enough times before, had Li Jie and Chung not been your friends before you knew me, I would have kept them away as well," he said proprietorially .
She shook her head in exasperation and tried to wiggle out of his grasp .
"My fractured hand is on your back right now . If you try and push it away, you might make it worse . So stop struggling," he said, guiding her head to his chest with his other palm .
She surrendered to his will momentarily and placed her ear next to his beating heart .
"Do you know how jealous I used to be of your close knit friendship with Li Jie? The way he looked at you and took care of you, I thought for the longest time that he was in love with you . Thankfully for me, his preferences were different . I shudder to think that if you had to choose between his love and mine, what would have been your answer," his voice held an unspoken question .
"I am not going to reply to some silly hypothetical question to soothe your ego, so stop fishing," she replied with a wry smile .
"You are no fun . Aren't you here to take care of me? How will I get better if you don't show any consideration towards both my physical and mental being?" he sulked again .
Wordlessly, she got up and moved away . Propping a pillow for his arm on the side, Jia Li pulled the blanket over him and sat back on the chair next to him . Wrapping her hands around his, she gave him a smile and asked him to go back to sleep .
A contented sigh escaped Tang as her hand's warmth seeped into his own . After years, his soul felt complete .
The nurse found the two of them fast asleep, an hour later . It was time for Tang's medicine but she felt reluctant to wake him up . Their faces had a serene expression on them, making her hesitate .
"I will come back in some time to give him the meds," with that thought in her head, she turned around and banged into a chair kept near the door .
Tang woke up with a start . His first thought was Jia Li's well-being and he was relieved to find her fast asleep, her head hanging off the chair . He realised that a nurse stood in the room with a tray in her hand, a slight guilty expression on her face . He raised a finger on his lips, motioning her to stay quiet and beckoned her closer .
Wordlessly, she helped him pop the medicine in his mouth and left quickly post that . The cute closeness of the couple was making her feel lonely . She decided to make a dinner plan with her boyfriend as soon as she finished with her shift tonight .
Tang looked at Jia Li's cheek which had turned rosy due to pressing it into the chair's arm . With a smile, he pushed back the wayward hair which had fallen in front of her eyes . He couldn't recall when was the last time that he had spent such peaceful time with her .
"It hurts to even think of how much time has been wasted in useless matters, with irrelevant people, time which should have been spent in countless moments like these . Now, now more . He didn't want to live his life in regret anymore . He would do whatever it takes to bring happiness back in hers & his life ," he vowed quietly to himself .
