Volume 1 Chapter 143 The Night Before Christmas (2/2)

Han Luo quickly stabilized herself by clinging onto him. When she realized his intention, she whined, ”Ah, big brother Yuan, you cannot do that. If I go to bed, I'll surely fall asleep.”

”Then you can sleep; I will wake you up when it's midnight. It's almost 11 o'clock. You can take a nap for an hour,” Mo Yuan gently placed her on the bed and sat down beside her. He took off her winter boots and placed them on the floor. Later, he tugged her under the comforter.

As he was about to get up, Han Luo caught his arm. ”Where are you going? Stay here. You have to stay with me till I get up.”

Mo Yuan's unfathomable eyes darkened.

Does she not know how she stirs his heart when she acts so spoiled? She doesn't think of his heart at all, does she?

However, no matter how unreasonable she was, he could never say 'no' to her. He gave in and said, ”Fine, I will stay with you.”

”Yay!” Han Luo beamed.

He took off his sweater and went under the comforter. He didn't completely lie down, though. He leaned back on the pillows on the headrest and tenderly stroked her head to make her fall asleep.

Han Luo also took off her jacket and threw it to the couch. After that, she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. Suddenly she opened her eyes and warned, ”Big brother Yuan, you have to wake me up or I'll be mad at you.”

Mo Yuan smiled discreetly and played along with her. ”I can't let you get mad at me. I will definitely wake you up at midnight.”

After he assured her, Han Luo closed her eyes again. She hugged his thin, strong waist and placed her head on his chest. She adjusted her body comfortably and then relaxed.

Mo Yuan froze at her action. He didn't think she would do that. His heart was racing. He gently placed his hands around her back and took some deep breaths. After he calmed down, he embraced her closely and silently gazed at her sleeping face.

Her breathing became regular and he realized that she had fallen asleep. Her white, supple face looked peaceful. She trusted him so much that she wasn't worried about whether he would do something to her. It made him feel happy and at the same time, it pricked his heart. This kind of attitude of hers meant that she doesn't think of him as a man at all.

He helplessly sighed and caressed her back. Sometimes, he would play with her hair. This small girl in his arms occupied his entire heart. When he couldn't take it anymore, he lowered his head and dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead.
