Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 381 Have a Stomachache Together

It has been past midnight when Tang Duo wakes up again. She is awoken with a start and wants to pull herself upright on the bed. But someone pushes her back. She is about to beat that guy unconsciously.

“Hua...” A familiar voice calls her name.

Tang Duo stares at him in amazement, “Lang... Lang Ruoxian?”

“It’s me,” Lang Ruoxian says. She can’t believe that he lies beside her.

Tang Duo still wants to move. But he carefully touches her abdomen and persuades her, “You just had an operation for appendicitis.”

“Ah?” Tang Duo focuses on her belly and feels it really... painful.

Before she is about to say something, Lang Ruoxian has cupped her face to kiss her so fiercely as if he wants to swallow her. Tang Duo struggles at the beginning. Then she stops struggling, embracing his waist and stroking regularly to comfort him.

“I... I’m fine.”

Tang Duo says as soon as Lang Ruoxian lets her go to breathe.

“Well...” Lang Ruoxian kisses her again. This time he is very gentle. Then Tang Duo hears him saying.

“I’m not fine.”

Tang Duo is speechless.

They kiss for a while. Then Lang Ruoxian hugs her and lies down. They embrace each other tightly like conjoined twins.

“What happened?” Tang Duo finally has the opportunity to ask, “Who kidnapped me?”

Lang Ruoxian looks down at her and says, “Tang Ziyan didn’t only kidnap you, but she also made a cosmetic surgery to look like you and pretended to be you these days.”

“What?” Tang Duo thinks she misheard him, “Is she not dead?” asks she.

Then Lang Ruoxian tells her what happened these days carefully. Tang Duo fells more and more scared. Would she have been locked up in the villa forever without Wuyou?

“I could recognize you without Wuyou,” Lang Ruoxian knows her thought and says, “I wouldn’t make mistakes.”

But Tang Duo still looks fearful. She asks, “If you didn’t arrive there on time, would I have died of acute appendicitis?”

“But I made it.” Lang Ruoxian kisses her again, “It won’t happen. I’ve told you that, if you left me, I would find you wherever you were, even though it was hell.”

Tang Duo looks at him, and then hugs him tightly. She says, “Yes. We will always be together!”

After a few seconds of silence, she asks again, “What about Tang Ziyan? Do you lock her up?”

“No. She committed suicide by detonating herself.”

Tang Duo doesn’t believe it.

This is not a story of fantasy novel. How can she detonate herself?

“The person who controlled her put a bomb inside her.” Lang Ruoxian is a little regretful.

He didn’t expect that the murderer would do that. Otherwise he wouldn’t warn the murderer, which gave the murderer a chance to detonate the bomb in Tang Ziyan’s body. But luckily, only he was there at that time.

“It would be terrible if she wanted to hurt children!” Tang Duo shivers. She doesn’t know whether she should thank the murderer not to detonate the bomb inside Tang Ziyan at home.

Then she suddenly thinks of something, “Are you injured?” asks she.

Lang Ruoxian has told her that he was there at that time.

“No, I’m not.” Lang Ruoxian lies, looking serious.

Tang Duo observes him carefully for a while. After making sure that he is fine, she lets out a sigh of relief and lies down, “We don’t catch the mastermind behind the plan. Do you think it may be my Eldest Uncle?”

“No.” Lang Ruoxian rubs Tang Duo’s arm gently and explains, “He is not able to do it. Besides, his new wife is pregnant recently. He pays all his attention to his unborn son.”

Tang Duo becomes confused. Who will aim at them in such advanced way except Tang Ming?

“There’s something I haven’t told you.” Lang Ruoxian hesitates for a while and finally decides to tell her, “I doubt my father is still alive.”

“.....” Tang Duo is shocked by these information.

Tang Duo twitches the corner of her mouth and asks him, “Why do you doubt that?”

“When Shu Sheng and Xiaokai first came to me, they said that an old friend asked them to take care of me.” Lang Ruoxian says slowly, “I was young and in poor health at that time. So I didn’t think much.”

Later, Lang Ruoxian wanted to thank him. But Shu Sheng and Xiaokai couldn’t contact him.

“They never saw him, either.” Lang Ruoxian puckers his lips, “I started to check him but found nothing. I only know he is from Hua Country.”

Tang Duo seems to think of something and her eyes become bright. She asks, “You used to go to the Eastern Europe because you thought he might be there, right?”

“Yes.” Lang Ruoxian pecks her, “This time people behind the plan are all foreigners. I think he may realize the mastermind.”

“He is your father. I don’t believe he will ask other people to hurt you!”

Lang Ruoxian turns to make a cotton swab wet and then puts it on her lips. He says, “He won’t hurt me. But people he knows may do that.”

“It’s too complicated.” Tang Duo licks her lips.

“Be patient. You can’t drink water until you break wind next morning.” Lang Ruoxian looks at his watch and then says, “Have a sleep again.”

Tang Duo still wants to talk, but she is thirsty. So she nods and closes her eyes, “I won’t feel thirsty when I’m asleep,” she says.

“Good girl!” Lang Ruoxian hugs her and closes his eyes after hearing her slow breathing.

When Bai Susu comes over early in the morning, she sees them holding each other tightly, head to head. Lang Ruoxian feels her coming first and immediately opens his eyes.

“It’s all right. Go back to sleep.” Bai Susu says. Then she frowns, “You will add pressure to your chest if you sleep like this. Lie on your back.”

Looking at Tang Duo who is sleeping, Lang Ruoxian smiles, “It is okay. I’m not painful.”

“Oh, well!” Bai Susu shakes her head and puts down the insulation barrel. Then she takes a look at Tang Duo and asks him, “Did Tang Duo break wind?”

“Yes. She broke wind just before dawn.” Lang Ruoxian didn’t sleep deeply because he was afraid not to hear the sound of breaking wind. He asks, “Do Grandma and others know what happened?”

“I told them that you and Hua ate outside yesterday and then were sent to hospital due to acute appendicitis,” Bai Susu doesn’t want Tang Yao and Chang Pei’e to know a fake Hua has appeared at home. She says, “Tang Yao is sending children to school and will come back soon.”

“Don’t tell Gungun,” Lang Ruoxian says.

Bai Susu nods, “Except me and Tang Cao, everyone believes you are hospitalized because of stomachache.”

Lang Ruoxian suddenly bows his head and asks, “Are you awake?”

“Mom...” Tang Duo rubs her eyes, “When did you come?”

Bai Susu hands her a hot towel and answers, “I’ve just arrived. Are you hungry?”

“No. I’m thirsty.” Tang Duo yawns. Seeing Lang Ruoxian leans against the headboard, Tang Duo touches him and asks, “Don’t you go to take a bath?”

Before Lang Ruoxian saying, Bai Susu has glared at her, “He has fractured a rib. How can he bathe now?” Then she gives Lang Ruoxian the towel and says, “Just wipe your face.”

“Is your rib broken?” Tang Duo is shocked, “Didn’t you tell me that you were not injured?”

She touches him around to find his wound with her hands. Lang Ruoxian holds her small hands, “I only have one broken rib.”

“Isn’t it a wound?” Tang Duo is so angry, “Yesterday you still...” But she stops saying when she realizes Bai Susu is here.

Lang Ruoxian chuckles, “It doesn’t matter. I can kiss you even if my ribs are all broken.”

“Shut up!” Tang Duo wants to hit him, but she is afraid to touch his ribs. In the end, she pokes his face hard and says, “Lie down quickly. Mom, please help me separate our sickbeds.”

It was Lang Ruoxian who asked Shu Sheng to put the sickbeds together last night. Bai Susu separates them and smiles, “Well, you two would lie there without moving. I’ll ladle out porridge for you.”

“Ouch!” Tang Duo cries painfully when she sits up and touches her wound.

Lang Ruoxian wants to help her. But Tang Duo glares at him, “You are also injured. Don’t move!”

“Hua is right. You’d better lie down!” Bai Susu says. She raises the head of their sickbeds and puts a pillow behind them.

Lang Ruoxian keeps staring at Yan Hua. Seeing she wants to take a spoon, he can’t help moving again.

“I’ll feed you.” Bai Susu takes Tang Duo’s bowl.

Tang Duo smiles at Lang Ruoxian and asks, “Can you eat by yourself?”

Lang Ruoxian picks up his spoon and eats.

“It doesn’t finish this time.” Bai Susu sighs when seeing them smiling so happily, “We still don’t know who aims at us.”

Tang Duo takes a look at Lang Ruoxian. He shakes his head.

“Anyway, it’s impossible to make another person look like us by cosmetic surgery!” Tang Duo says. She knows Lang Ruoxian doesn’t want to tell others. So she decides to hide it temporarily.

Bai Susu frowns, “We should be careful in the future. Although they fail this time, they must try again.”

“Mom, don’t worry! I’ll not go out to play anymore.” Tang Duo doesn’t want Bai Susu to be so worried, “Let’s celebrate the New Year at home this time. And we’d better go out together in the future.”

“It’s unnecessary.” Lang Ruoxian puts his spoon down and says, “They won’t take actions recently.”

Bai Susu looks at him, “How do you know?”

“It takes a year for them to make Tang Ziyan approach to us, which shows the mastermind is careful. He won’t take actions if he is not sure.” Lang Ruoxian narrows his eyes, “They would have succeeded if I slept with Tang Ziyan.”

Bai Susu says with an involuntary gasp, “Fortunately, we found her in time.”

“So if they act again, they will design a better plan than this one.” Lang Ruoxian raises the corner of his mouth and says, “It’ll take longer and I will find them before then.”

Tang Yao arrives here before they finish breakfast. He complains them to be hospitalized by stomachache for a long time. Finally, he is dragged away by Bai Susu.

“Don’t move. I’ll come back at noon.” Bai Susu says when she leaves. Then she comes across Shu Sheng at the door. So she tells him to watch them and not to let Lang Ruoxian get out of bed.

After sending Bai Susu and Tang Yao away, Shu Sheng comes back to the ward and sees Lang Ruoxian trying to sit up.

“Young Master, you can’t move.” He runs to push him back and says, “Mrs. Tang has told me not to let you out of the bed.”

Tang Duo also glares at him. Lang Ruoxian has to lie down. He says, “I want to sleep with you.”

“No way! You should lie there.” Tang Duo says.

In a city of the Eastern Europe, a ball is holding in a palatial villa. An oriental man mingles for a while and then hurries back to his study.

“Sir, Mr. Brown went to Mi Country last month. We’ve informed him to come back.”

The oriental man hides his face in the darkness and says with low and deep voice, “Check what he did in Mi Country.”
