Chapter 46 I will take responsibility, the rescue has been completed.
The next morning, as dawn broke, the horizon where the sea met the sky in the distance began to lighten.
Ning Yao opened her eyes leisurely and happened to see Wen Tingye's handsome face with its distinct features. He was still holding her, and most of the blush on his face had faded, but there were still some hickeys on his neck, all her handiwork from last night.
Wen Tingye was fast asleep, his chest rising and falling slowly with his breathing. Sensing the movement, Ning Yao couldn't help but look down at the muscular man with his upper body bare.
Wen Tingye has a really good physique, with firm and elastic abs. The sweat on his body has dried completely by now. Just thinking about how attentive he was last night, with beads of sweat still clinging to his body, makes Ning Yao feel incredibly ashamed. How could she, a woman, be so proactive in something like that?
Fortunately, Wen Tingye was poisoned and was mostly delirious, so he probably couldn't remember the details of last night.
Ning Yao looked away, but inadvertently caught sight of a large, half-dried bloodstain on Wen Tingye's thigh.
There was still half a tree branch stuck in the wound. It was too dark last night, and she didn't even notice that Wen Tingye was injured.
The injury looked painful just to look at. Ning Yao frowned and carefully reached out her hand, wanting to help Wen Tingye clean his wound.
Last night, he was nearly driven to the brink of losing control by snake venom. However, before she took the initiative to pounce on him and get close, Wen Tingye maintained his last shred of rationality. The wounds inflicted by the sharp branches were probably inflicted by him to keep himself awake.
Ning Yao was moved and immediately looked at Wen Tingye with new respect.
This man doesn't seem so unreliable after all; he still has a strong sense of morality when it matters.
But after only a few seconds of being moved, Ning Yao suddenly remembered the scene when she first had relations with Wen Tingye.
Wasn't Wen Tingye quite aroused and excited in bed back then? Besides, he was sober, yet he still couldn't control himself.
So the reason he didn't want to touch her was because of his face?
Is this human skin so ugly that Wen Tingye would rather self-harm to stay awake than touch her with a single finger?
Superficial, vulgar, scumbag!
Ning Yao intensified her movements, pulling at Wen Tingye's wound. He woke up in pain, wincing. After sitting up, he grabbed Ning Yao's mischievous hand, squinting at her with a dangerous aura that seemed to burst forth, as if he could tear Ning Yao to pieces at any moment!
"Good morning, Mr. Wen." Ning Yao greeted Wen Tingye casually, her smile somewhat awkward.
"Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to help you treat your wound. This branch has been stuck in your flesh all night, doesn't it hurt?"
Upon recognizing Ning Yao as the person beside him, Wen Tingye's anger instantly subsided. He stared intently at Ning Yao, the intimate moments between them from the previous night flooding his mind—fragmented images, though not entirely clear, but he knew exactly what had happened.
At this moment, Wen Tingye's eyes still held the light of joy and love. He stared at Ning Yao without saying a word for a long time. Ning Yao felt uneasy under his gaze and secretly wondered what Wen Tingye meant.
Judging from his expression, he clearly knows what happened last night. It seems unrealistic for her to pretend that nothing happened.
At this moment, waves of physical discomfort surged up. Ning Yao recalled that she had been slept with by Wen Tingye twice, and each time she woke up, the aftereffects were ridiculously strong, especially her waist, which was sore and painful due to the excessive exercise.
After muttering a few complaints about Wen Tingye to herself, Ning Yao looked at him defiantly. After a moment of eye contact, they spoke almost simultaneously.
"You don't need to take responsibility."
"I will take responsibility for you."
Ning Yao was definitely the former. Forget about taking responsibility, she wished Wen Tingye would completely forget what happened between them and just leave the next day.
But Wen Tingye remembers, and not only does he remember, he now repeatedly says that he wants to take responsibility for himself.
Ha, are you kidding me?
She helped Wen Tingye cure the snake venom, not to extort a title from him.
Ning Yao had absolutely no feelings for Wen Tingye, even though he was already the father of her six children. Apart from sleeping together twice, they had no other interaction, had never dated, and had never had a proper relationship.
Ning Yao was unwilling to marry just any man, even if that man was Wen Tingye, whom all the women in the capital city would love to strip naked and seduce.
She really wanted to be with Wen Tingye; perhaps she would have done so six years ago.
Since she didn't do that six years ago, she won't do it now either.
She still has a blood feud to avenge, and she will take revenge herself, without relying on anyone else!
"You really don't need to take responsibility. You were poisoned by snake venom while saving me, so consider this repayment of your kindness. We'll call it even, and neither of us owes the other anything." Ning Yao waved her hand generously, indicating that Wen Tingye didn't need to take it to heart. As if afraid that Wen Tingye wouldn't believe her, she added with utmost seriousness.
"We're all adults. This is a consensual relationship, so there's no need to take responsibility. You're happy and I'm happy, that's enough."
After saying that, Ning Yao steeled herself and took her clothes from Wen Tingye's side, putting them on one by one.
The underwear was still fine, but the outer garment was in a terrible state; the zipper had been torn by Wen Tingye, making it unusable.
She folded the sides of her clothes over her shoulders and pressed her hands against her abdomen, but even so, her collarbone was still exposed.
Ning Yao felt weak all over, and because she was being stared at by Wen Tingye, she felt very uncomfortable. Two obvious blushes gradually appeared on her face.
"From today onwards, you are my woman, Wen Tingye's woman." Noticing his body's reaction, Wen Tingye, his blood boiling, uttered these words and forcefully withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Ning Yao, whose clothes were disheveled.
Ever since he could remember, once Wen Tingye made a decision, he would not easily change it.
Undeniably, he had feelings for Ning Yao, and these feelings were subtle. He liked Ning Yao's body and was quite interested in her as a woman.
For now, possessing Ning Yao is merely a matter of personal desire.
Ning Yao felt a bit cold from the sea breeze, sniffed, and looked helplessly at Wen Tingye.
"Can't you understand human language? I've already said you don't need to take responsibility anymore, and you still..."
Several camouflage military green helicopters appeared in the distance above the deserted island, tilting slightly in their direction as they flew towards them. The sound of their rotors was loud, causing Wen Tingye and Ning Yao to look up in the direction of the sound.
The cruise ship's search and rescue team has arrived.
Ignoring his injured thigh, Wen Tingye frowned and took two steps forward, turning his white shirt inside out and putting it over Ning Yao's body. He then buttoned it up from behind, instantly covering her ample bosom.
Wen Tingye pulled Ning Yao's clothes up, then put his arm around her shoulder, holding her tightly in his embrace, and straightened his body to shield her from most of the sea breeze.
