My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Tang Ming looked away hesitantly: "When did you find out...?"

"It's been quite a while now, and every time we chat, I sense you're very uncomfortable. Your eyes dart around, and you seem to have something to hide. Do you even remember our wedding date?"

"Yes... I'm sorry, I... really can't remember."

Tang Ming remained silent for a long time before honestly lowering his head.

"You don't even..." Lin Ruoyu was about to continue answering when she suddenly realized that she hadn't remembered the exact date either, so she had no choice but to change the subject.

How much do you remember?

"I remember everything else... but I don't remember you." After Tang Ming finished speaking, he looked up and stole a glance at Lin Ruoyu, wondering if she would be angry. He was met with her ambiguous smile.

"So you've been hiding it from me all this time, pretending nothing happened, and repeatedly making excuses to brush me off... You're always buried in your work, is that how you avoid me?"

Lin Ruoyu composed herself, her expression growing increasingly cold. She casually brought up the past "old grievances," understanding Tang Ming's "intentions" perfectly, as she herself had done the same thing over the past year.

"I want to go back to my hometown, but you won't allow it... Husband, you're unwilling to confront me, yet you pretend to be a loving couple. What are you really thinking?"

Tang Ming took a deep breath. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Don't always ask me questions. Is using rhetorical questions to avoid being questioned your technique, Tang Ming?" Lin Ruoyu bluntly stated.

"I was very confused at the time. Everyone said you were my wife, and all the evidence in the house proved it was true. I couldn't just move out, could I?" Tang Ming paused for a moment, then softened his tone and explained gently.

"You know what? For a long time, your attitude made me wonder if you'd changed your mind, if you were cheating on me. I even hesitated many times about whether to bring it up!"

"So that's why you went to my company..." Tang Ming suddenly realized.

At this moment, he was completely led by the nose by Lin Ruoyu, and had completely forgotten that he had also been constantly doubting and exploring Lin Ruoyu.

Under Lin Ruoyu's "resentful" gaze, he was at a loss. He wanted to explain, but he had a guilty conscience and didn't know how much he needed to explain to gain Lin Ruoyu's forgiveness.

"When I confirmed that you hadn't cheated on me and were just suffering from amnesia, I felt a mix of relief and anger. If I hadn't discovered it, how long would you have kept lying to me? Would we have just continued like this? Would we have been stuck here like strangers?"

Lin Ruoyu shook her head helplessly.

"It's my fault, I was a bit selfish... I didn't consider your feelings, but I'm trying my best for this family! I've been working hard to earn money, I've taken photos to places we used to go, I want to recapture those memories! I want to get to know you again!"

Tang Ming found his reason, and his words became increasingly sincere and his tone increasingly impassioned: "If I regain my memories, then nothing will happen, so why should I bother you!"

"It's all just an excuse." Lin Ruoyu's eyes showed a hint of panic and self-reproach, but she quickly suppressed it.

This time, Tang Ming must be made to recognize his own problems so that he won't constantly use work and life to "guide" her in the future. Even married couples need to engage in a game of strategy; she doesn't have that deep a feeling for Tang Ming, so she naturally doesn't need to hold back when "taking action."

In the beginning, her life was unstable, she was anxious and fearful, dared not express her emotions, and carefully adapted to life after losing her memory.

Now she is the strongest magical girl in Fangzhou City and an idol to countless citizens. She now knows everything about Tang Ming's affairs, and the opportunity is just right. She is determined to occupy a higher position in their relationship.

"Is making money all you ever talk about?! Aside from our mutual friends, you never tell me who you know, where you work, or what your company's background is!"

"Do you really want to get to know me again, and return to this family, just like you say?" Lin Ruoyu was feeling hot and pulled off the blanket covering her, which also pulled off Tang Ming's blanket. He reluctantly pulled it back, and upon hearing Lin Ruoyu's words, he frowned unhappily.

"What...do you mean? What's your company background?"

"You know it yourself."

"What do I know?" Tang Ming's voice was much lower, and this time his expression was truly solemn.

"Your company has so many wizards. Hua Yiyou told me that you're a puppet company created by the Wizarding Alliance Tower and the Anti-Demon Department! Even though you're just an ordinary person, you're very familiar with the company's business! But you pretended not to know anything in front of me. You don't know anything about magical girls, wizards, or the Anti-Demon Department... Don't you trust the person sleeping next to you at all?"

Lin Ruoyu was getting a little angry with herself. In her emotions, she truly felt that Tang Ming's actions were extremely unethical. In fact, her own behavior of pointing fingers and berating him was even more unethical…

"I was afraid you'd worry. Besides, what's the point of telling you this? You're in the clothing business, how would you know anything about these things!" Tang Ming argued.

As their blood surged, the jade pendant on Lin Ruoyu's chest also gradually heated up. The "impurities" accumulated from cleaning up the city's various foreign substances over the past few days flowed into Tang Ming's body in a space unseen by the two of them, and then withdrew from Tang Ming's body, merging into the pen holder with strange patterns engraved on the bedside table.

"I don't understand? When I talk to you about these things, you always pretend not to understand and seem impatient. You clearly don't trust me, you doubt me!" Lin Ruoyu turned the tables.

"I..." Tang Ming shut his mouth, knowing that Lin Ruoyu was telling the truth.

Although he had taken a different "path," his understanding of magic far surpassed that of Lin Ruoyu. To avoid letting something slip, he had to keep quiet when Lin Ruoyu talked about magical girls and wizards, things Lin Ruoyu loved, but he never gave her any face.

Ultimately, he genuinely didn't trust the other party.

"It's all my fault, okay?" Tang Ming resigned himself to his fate.

"Do you know what kind of clients my company usually makes clothing for? You have no idea... and you think I don't know anything about it. If you have time, come to my company and take a good look."

As Lin Ruoyu spoke, she became angry with herself. She felt exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained. After she finished speaking, she turned around and faced away from Tang Ming.

"...She called me to bed and then scolded me. This woman..." Tang Ming muttered dejectedly, looking at Lin Ruoyu's graceful and slender figure.

"What did you say?" Lin Ruoyu turned her head.

"It's nothing..." Tang Ming threw back the covers, got out of bed, and walked outside in his slippers.

"Where are you going? Aren't you going to sleep?" Lin Ruoyu asked, frowning, upon hearing the noise.

"You're so angry, and we're still sleeping together... It's my fault, I'll go out and apologize. You... calm down too."

Tang Ming sometimes wondered whether Lin Ruoyu was magnanimous or petty, as she would turn a blind eye to some things while being extremely vengeful and "nitpicky" at other times.

He felt completely outmatched. After spending more than six months with her, he realized that he couldn't understand this woman at all.

"..."

Lin Ruoyu did not try to stop him, and watched Tang Ming close the door without saying a word.

She wondered if she had gone too far. She wasn't actually such an impulsive and irritable person... She had only intended to wait patiently and question him slowly, but she ended up getting angry and even had the urge to punch him.

She clenched her fists desperately to resist the urge to punch him. Although her true form was mortal, her body, blessed by magic and with her chakras constantly evolving, was far superior to Tang Ming, an ordinary person. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her strength and would end up in the hospital or disfigured, which would be incredibly embarrassing.

Regardless, Tang Ming's face is still quite good... otherwise she would have run away the day she returned home with amnesia.

After a while, the sound of a door opening came from the living room, and then the door clicked shut again... Tang Ming left home.

Lin Ruoyu pondered whether she should follow at a distance to provide protection. The probability of encountering a Void Beast at night wouldn't be higher, but the city's security response speed would be greatly reduced. Besides, there were some troublemakers out there...

In the end, she still didn't leave. It was a bit strange that she was worrying like an old mother after just having an argument. Tang Ming couldn't have gone far in the middle of the night; he was probably just taking a walk nearby to clear his head.

However, she began to seriously consider the idea of ​​marking Tang Ming with a positioning magic mark.

As a magical girl, she is responsible for managing the city's border defenses; when a monster plague occurs, she commands the wizarding team. Although she doesn't actively seek to take power from the organization, in reality, all the staff will cooperate with her.

She is becoming more and more accustomed to being in control of everything and having a clear understanding of the situation.

...and I'm increasingly disliking the feeling of being out of control, as well as the anxiety of being out of control.

She habitually stroked the necklace on her chest, which made her feel calmer and safer. The jade fragment regained its tranquility, and the remaining "cotton fibers" hidden in the jade stopped flowing. Although there was only a little left, it was still very conspicuous on the gold-inlaid jade.

Lin Ruoyu opened the necklace, pinched the warm and evenly colored [Soul Jade Fragment], and began to grumble in confusion:

"There's finally less stuff at night... Why were Sister Xiaoba and the others able to purify the foreign matter completely in just a few hours, without a single impurity... while when I absorb even a little more foreign matter, these impurities are so hard to purify?"

"My strength isn't affected... Is there some inherent flaw in my soul fragments? Sometimes there are fewer, sometimes more, and the purification speed is different, which always gives me a headache..."

Lin Ruoyu lay down wearily, gently massaging her temples. If Tang Ming were here, he could help her massage them...
