Wen Ran took several deep breaths, attempting to calm her emotions, before whispering, “I dreamed of my parents.”
MO Xiuchen slightly Imit his brows, looking at her tear-streaked face, he softened his voice, gently reassuring her:
“The authorities are investigating the cause of the car accident. If it was indeed deliberate, the murderer who killed your parents will definitely be brought to justice.”
Wen Ran snorted tearfully and hissed, “My parents were murdered. The car was fine in the morning, but the brakes suddenly failed in the afternoon…”
MO Xiuchen nodded and sat on the edge of the bed. He gently patted her shoulder and softly said, “The police will find out the truth about these matters. Don’t think too much about it in the middle of the night, try to get some sleep.”
He had been standing until just now. But now that he sat facing her and spoke, a faint scent of alcohol seeped into her breathing. She looked at him with surprise in her eyes and asked with concern, “You just got home?”
“Yes, I just got back.”
A hint of warmth appeared in MO Xiuchen’s eyes as he nodded softly.
Wen Ran slightly narrowed her brows, her gaze darting to the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was the same time as when her usual nightmares would start…
She pushed aside her feelings and softly said:
“Then, you should rest now.”
“Okay, I’ll clean up first.”
MO Xiuchen got up to freshen up in the bathroom. Even though he had just taken a shower before he went out, he had spent a long time with Gu Kai in the bar and then went to have a late-night snack. He quickly showered to wash off the scent of the bar, rinsed his mouth, and then came back out.
In the spacious bed, Wen Ran lay on her side on the other side of the bed, leaving more than half of the bed for him.
Watching her lying on her side, a glimmer of a dark glow crossed the depths of MO Xiuchen’s eyes. He went to the bed, lifted the covers and got in. The moment his hand touched Wen Ran, her body jerked, then stiffened.
“You don’t have to be nervous, I won’t do anything to you.”
MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he moved his hand away, and then added: “Move a bit closer to me in your sleep, I don’t want to see you fall off the bed in the middle of the night.”
Wen Ran stiffly replied ‘I won’t’. A second later, a large hand suddenly wrapped around her waist. Her body instantly stiffened. He forcefully turned her around and his deep voice echoed above her head: “If you sleep near the edge of the bed again, I will hold you in my sleep.”
Threatened bv him, Wen Ran trembled, and assured subconsciously: “I won’t
anymore.”
“Hmm, sleep now!”
Feeling the tension in the body under his hand, MO Xiuchen let go of her, and slowly closed his eyes.
Even after his hand retreated, Wen Ran’s tensed body did not immediately relax. She dared not turn over and kept staring at him.
The soft, dim light from the wall lamp fell on his chiseled face, softening his cold, distinct features. His heavy, long eyelashes cast a shadow over his eyes like two fans. His gentle visage reminded her of an idiom: gentle as jade.
For a moment, Wen Ran was lost in thought. How could such a handsome man lose his most vital ability? Had it not been for his impotence, countless women would have thrown themselves at him.
As she watched and thought, not too long after, Wen Ran actually forgot her nervousness. Perhaps she realized there was no danger sleeping next to him, so gradually, she relaxed and unknowingly fell back into sleep.
Listening to her even breathing, MO Xiuchen, who had closed his eyes, opened them again. There was no hint of sleep in his deep eyes..
