Chapter 958: Chapter 958: Her Collapsed Wrist, Blood Seeping Through the Gauze

In the room, Zong Zheng finally let go of Tang Tang’s hand.

"Is it necessary? Acting so well in front of Mom and Dad." Tang Tang sat at the edge of the bed, glancing at him with a faint expression.

"I act well even when not in front of them." Zong Zheng stood by her side, "Do you know what the biggest mistake you’ve made is?"

"What?"

"It’s coming back." Zong Zheng leaned over, making eye contact with her, his right hand touching her delicate face. "You’re even more worried here. Can you still leave that easily? Obviously in the Southern Country, you just needed to consider yourself alone. Could you even dare to do that at home, cutting your wrists?"

"Then you misunderstood. I won’t think about those things here either. We are already married, we can’t keep living with parents forever. Tomorrow we’ll move to my own place."

She returned today simply to let them know she was safe.

Otherwise, they would keep worrying about her safety.

"Wife, you’re still so clever..."

"So you prefer the silly and naive me from before?" Tang Tang calmly retorted.

"Like both..."

These words came out casually, who would believe them.

——

The next day they were set to leave, Father Tang and Mother Tang obviously didn’t want them to go, but couldn’t argue with the couple and had to let them go.

Zong Zheng thought Tang Tang would head to the villa where they first met, but he didn’t expect the destination to be a luxury apartment close to Tang Kang Hospital.

Though she hadn’t lived there for a long time, it was always kept clean by someone sent to tidy it.

Tang Tang was making coffee with one hand while Zong Zheng watched her, "Can you drink coffee?"

"You don’t have to drink it."

"I’m concerned about you, do you really have to refuse my concern this way?" Zong Zheng saw her adding sugar with a spoon, gently stirring.

"I’m not refusing your concern." Tang Tang raised the coffee cup, turning her head to look at him, "When we were in the Southern Country, you were so busy with work, aren’t you busy now?"

"With Xiao Zhang handling things, I can slack off a bit. Besides, I earn so much money just for my wife, now she doesn’t want me anymore, shouldn’t I first win her back?"

Tang Tang glanced at him, "I’m too lazy to deal with you."

She walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window, "Look at the cars and people below, how insignificant they are. Zong Zheng, I really don’t want to quarrel with you; can you let me calm down a bit?"

"Haven’t you had enough time to calm down? What have you done? You left with Qiao Yu; what was going on between you two? Let me witness with my own eyes the affection between you two on the beach. I’m your husband. Damn it, I’ve never felt so aggrieved in my life!"

"There’s nothing between him and me!"

"Then how do you make me believe it?"

Zong Zheng’s eyes burned like fire, his voice instinctively rising, "Your memory is restored, it’s not like you’ve lost it. Isn’t the past year we’ve spent together something in your mind? Haven’t you realized how I’ve treated you?"

"I do know! That’s why I need to calm down!" She took big gulps of the hot coffee.

The past year he was very good to her, but that version of herself wasn’t really her.

"Then give me a timeframe, and I’ll come find you." Zong Zheng looked at her, aware he couldn’t push her too hard.

"Three days!"

"Okay. Three days later, I’ll come find you." Zong Zheng stepped back, "I’ll send someone to take care of your daily needs."

"No need."

"But your hand..."

"I’ll manage."

Zong Zheng still wanted to stay, but she kept staring out of the window without turning back.

Only then did he leave.

Tang Tang heard the door close, and her previously upright posture slowly slouched, finally collapsing onto the sofa.

Her limp wrist showed traces of blood emerging from the gauze.
