Ling Hui was shocked and seemed to be in disbelief.
She retracted her hand from the man’s large palm, turned around, covered her mouth, and suppressed her emotions.
Did that mean that he had not forgotten her?
Was he just teasing her?
This fellow was still so unserious. He was simply despicable!
Seeing that Ling Hui was ignoring him, Tang Xi said hoarsely, “Princess, turn around.”
Not only did Ling Hui not turn around, she even took two steps forward.
On the way from the church, she was too excited and happy that she had shed a lot of tears. Her makeup might have been smudged. She must not look too good now.
Tang Xi looked at Ling Hui’s slightly trembling shoulders and tried to sit up. When Father Tang saw this, he helped Tang Xi sit up and left the ward with Mother Tang and Old Madam Tang, leaving space for the two young people.
“Princess, turn around and let me see you.”
Ling Hui turned around stiffly and met Tang Xi’s slender and devilish eyes.
Tang Xi reached out his hand to Ling Hui, who placed her hand in his palm.
Tang Xi used a little strength and Ling Hui fell onto the bed.
Tang Xi clasped Ling Hui’s palm lightly.
Ling Hui’s palm was slightly numb. She wanted to retract her hand but he held onto it tightly.
“Princess, long time no see.”
Tang Xi leaned forward and hugged Ling Hui with his other hand.
Feeling the warmth from his chest, Ling Hui had mixed feelings.
Over the past six months, she had no idea of when he would wake up although she believed that he would wake up.
Every day was a torture to her.
Now that she could really feel his arms, his voice, and his warmth, she felt like he had really woken up.
“I heard everything you said to me every day.” He leaned his chin on her shoulder, his lips pressed against her ear, his voice hoarse. “I heard you say you like me and want to marry me.”
Ling Hui felt a lump in her throat. She turned back and glared at the man. “How could you still sleep for half a year after hearing that? I haven’t had a good sleep in the past six months and was always worried about you.”
Tang Xi’s hand that was hugging her shoulders tightened. His thin face pressed tightly against hers as he kissed her cheek. “I’m sorry for making you worry. I’ll make it up to you in the future.”
Ling Hui saw him kissing her face and she used her elbow to push him away. “Use your words instead…”
Before Ling Hui could finish, the man suddenly groaned. Ling Hui saw his pained expression and asked anxiously, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“My heart hurts.”
“I’ll call the doctor.”
Ling Hui was about to get up when the man hugged her again.
“I’m lying to you. I used to have such dreams often. As long as I was slightly uncomfortable, the Princess would be nervous and care about me. Now, my dream has come true…” Tang Xi cupped Ling Hui’s face with both hands and stared at her without blinking.” Princess, you’re so beautiful today. ”
Ling Hui was wearing a long aqua blue dress today that partially exposed her collarbones. The hem of the dress was wide open and her delicate and fair leg could be seen faintly.
Her brown curly hair was tied into a bun and her rose-colored lips were red. Although the makeup on her face was a little messy from crying, it did not affect her beauty.
Ling Hui saw Tang Xi’s gaze and her heart throbbed uncontrollably.
They had never been in a proper relationship before. Now that he was awake, a gaze and action easily moved her.
“Aren’t you tired of looking at me?”
After all, Tang Xi had been lying for half a year and could not get out of bed immediately. Sitting for a long time did make his body feel a little tired.
He lay on the bed and grabbed Ling Hui’s hand. “Stay with me.”
Ling Hui glanced outside the ward. “Uncle Tang and the rest are still here. Besides, it’s broad daylight…”
“Princess, I want to hear you say that you love me.”
Ling Hui’s beautiful face could not help but blush.
She had never said those words to anyone. She felt embarrassed that he suddenly wanted to hear it.
It was too embarrassing for her to say it out loud.
She covered her face. “Uncle Tang and the rest must have a lot to say to you. I’ll call them in.”
…
As Ling Hui went out of the ward to call the Tang family in, she received a call from Gu Meng.
Ling Hui told Gu Meng that Tang Xi had woken up. When Gu Meng found out, she was happy for Ling Hui.
Qiao Yanze and Cen Xi, who had received the news, also rushed over.
Qiao Yanze entered the ward and seeing that Tang Xi had really woken up, he threw a punch at his shoulder. “Damn brat, you’re lucky to have survived.”
Tang Xi and Qiao Yanze punched each other. “It’s worth it to have my goddess accompany me here every day!”
“Ling Hui is very concerned about you. You got what you wanted.”
After Qiao Yanze and Cen Xi left, Tang Jing led Mrs Tang to the bed.
Over the past six months, Tang Jing had found many doctors for Mother Tang, but there had been minimal results.
Tang Xi looked at Mother Tang, who was still carrying a doll in her arms. He called out hoarsely, “Mom.”
Mother Tang glanced at Tang Xi as if she did not know him. She lowered her head again and coaxed the doll in her arms.
“Mom, I’m Ah Xi. I used to think that you didn’t like me and I didn’t dare to be close to you. After Liu Ping told me the truth, I realized that you loved me.” Tang Xi held Mother Tang’s hand and his eyes turned red. “Mom, I’m sorry.”
Mrs Tang wanted to retract her hand from Tang Xi’s grip, but Tang Xi held it tightly. She looked up at Tang Xi and saw the tears in his eyes. The doll in her arms fell to the ground.
“Mom, I’m your son. I’ll be here forever and I will never leave you again.”
Mother Tang muttered and repeated Tang Xi’s words. “Son?”
“Yes, Mom. I’m your son, Tang Xi.”
Mrs Tang stared at Tang Xi for a while and her eyes slowly became clear. “Ah Xi?”
Hearing Mrs Tang call out Ah Xi’s name, Father Tang and Tang Xi were pleasantly surprised.
“Mom, I’m here.”
Mother Tang’s hand that was held by Tang Xi turned from being stiff and restrained to holding Tang Xi’s.
Tang Jing was surprised and happy.
The doctor was right. Yu’er cared about her son the most. As long as Tang Xi woke up and slowly moved her, there was a possibility she might return to normal.
Tang Xi addressed her as his mother again.
A thin layer of moisture appeared in Mother Tang’s eyes.
The doctor came to check on Tang Xi’s body and told him not to be too emotional since he had just woken up, and to rest well.
“Ah Xi, your mother’s condition has improved. We can’t hurry this. Take care of yourself first. I’ll bring your mother back and come to see you tomorrow.”
Tang Xi nodded.
When Tang Xi was alone in the ward, he called Fang Ye.
…
Ling Hui removed her makeup and went to the hotel to get a change of clothes. By the time she returned to the ward, Tang Xi was already asleep.
