My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! Chapter 219 - 121 The Underestimated Song Jiaren2

If she didn't care, why would she wait outside his cell all night?

If she really disliked him, why would she teach him how to ride and shoot arrows up close?

Apart from this, Li Anning as his emotional strategist did make a lot of sense.

"Thanks."

Li Nuo stood up, cupped his hands towards Li Anning, and said, "Regarding those remaining from the Thief Sect, rember to inform once the Ministry of Justice delivers their verdict."

As he reached the door, he thought of sothing and turned back to pocket the remaining few oranges from the table.

Seeing Li Anning watching him, Li Nuo explained, "These oranges are pretty good, I'll take them back for my wife to try..."

He also took the orange from Li Anning's hand, saying, "Eating too many oranges isn't good, it can turn your skin yellow. You've had enough today, I'll take this one off your hands."

Watching Li Nuo leave the governnt office, Li Anning clenched her silver teeth.

Damn man!

How could he not even spare a thought for the past, not leaving a single one for her?

Ultimately, what's fake will always remain fake. In his heart, she would never compare to Song Jiaren!

Li Anning thought furiously, her expression suddenly froze.

Why should she compare herself to Song Jiaren?

On what grounds should she compare herself to Song Jiaren?

She massaged her temples, having been too imrsed in the role these past few days, she needed so ti to adjust.

Having stayed up all night and having dealt imdiately with the affairs of the Li Family after the Ministry of Justice, her body now felt exhausted. Hopefully, after a good sleep, she would completely forget this feeling...

Song Residence.

When Li Nuo returned, Mumu was swinging alone in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Li Nuo's return, Mumu pursed her lips towards the direction of the room, desperately making eye signals to her.

Li Nuo entered the room and saw his wife sitting at the table.

A book lay in front of her, unopened.

Li Nuo walked over and took out four oranges from his bosom and placed them on the table, saying, "These are tribute oranges, they taste really good. Wife, give them a try."

Song Jiaren didn't look up, she opened the book, and said, "Give them to Mumu and Ning'er."

Li Nuo glanced outside and said, "Mumu doesn't like oranges."

Mumu, standing outside eavesdropping, wore a helpless expression—fine, if Brother Nuo said she didn't like them, then she didn't.

Li Nuo sat opposite Song Jiaren, peeled an orange, ticulously removed every bit of white pith, and handed it to Song Jiaren, saying, "Try one, these oranges are really delicious..."

Song Jiaren turned a page, and said indifferently, "I don't like oranges."

Having shared her bed for so long, Li Nuo did have so understanding of her.

It wasn't that she didn't like oranges, she was angry.

If she truly disliked oranges, she would have at least glanced at him before refusing.

Li Nuo put down the orange, and said, "Wife, I owe you an apology."

Song Jiaren calmly responded, "If you're talking about the matter with the Princess, there's no need to bring it up again. You don't need to apologize for that matter."

Li Nuo shook his head and said, "Pretending to be husband and wife with the Princess for three days to eradicate the Thief Sect, capturing nearly five hundred thieves, there was nothing wrong with that action. Even if I had to choose again, I would do the sa. But before doing so, I should have inford you. After all, we are husband and wife, even if you might not think so..."

Song Jiaren's book flipping halted, she looked up at him, her lips moving slightly, "I..."

As husband and wife, there were so things that they never spelled out, maintaining a tacit understanding with each other.

But from his words, she still detected a hint of self-mockery.

Did he think that's what she believed?

She lowered her head slowly and said, "I don't think so...

With one sentence having shifted from passive to proactive, Li Nuo didn't delve further but instead sincerely said, "So I apologize. I didn't consider thoroughly this ti. I'll be more careful in the future."

To prevent Li Nuo from delving into another topic, Song Jiaren closed the book, looked at him, and said, "I'm truly not angry. Do you think I'm unreasonable?"

Li Nuo offered a slice of orange to her lips, saying, "Then have an orange."

Song Jiaren hesitated for a mont, then gently opened her mouth and reluctantly accepted the slice of orange Li Nuo handed her.

Now, Li Nuo was certain she wasn't angry.

Nevertheless, he still elaborated, "That day on the street, it was actually a play we put on for those secretly watching us. The people from the Thief Sect are extrely cautious; you have no idea how careful they are. If we didn't do it that way, they would never have trusted , and this mission wouldn't have been successful..."

Song Jiaren nodded slightly and picked up an orange from the table, starting to peel it.

Sincerity was indeed always the ultimate weapon; she was starting to enjoy oranges again.

Li Nuo continued, "It was urgent. After being chosen by the steward from the Thief Sect that day, they started to monitor in secret, so I couldn't co back and had to have Housekeeper Wu send you a ssage. You should have received it, right? What did he say to you?"

Song Jiaren carefully peeled the white pith and said, "He said you had important matters and would not be staying at ho for a few days."

Li Nuo glanced outside; Housekeeper Wu really... At such a ti, would it kill him to explain a bit more?

Usually, he said too much about things that didn't need to be said, but when it mattered, he was silent.

Li Nuo took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and explained, "These days, we stayed in a commoner's ho to the north of the city. However, at night, it was the Princess who slept in the bed and I on the ground, just as we used to before, nothing happened..."

Song Jiaren nodded and said, "I know."

Li Nuo was slightly stunned, "You knew?"
