Chapter 271 - Acceptance (Part-5) (1/2)

Liu Juan didn't expect Mo Jiang's direct rejection. He had been good to her in the past few days. Then what had suddenly happened to him now?

Liu Juan took a deep breath and said in a low voice, ”Fine. I will come to sleep in your room.”

She was sure that Mo Jiang wouldn't do anything inappropriate without her permission.

”Fine.” Mo Jiang accepted, which made Liu Juan sigh out loud in relief but only for a fraction of seconds. ”You can sleep in my room and I will sleep in the study room.”

”No. You can also sleep with me.” Liu Juan immediately suggested.

”I can't.”

”Why?”

Mo Jiang closed the book which he was reading and stood in front of her. He said. ”Juan, as your husband, I have been waiting for you but you shouldn't take my patience for granted. I won't guarantee that I won't do anything to you. But yeah...If you are ready, I don't mind sleeping with you.” He emphasized the word 'sleeping' and took a step closer to her. In reflection, Liu Juan immediately took a step back.

She averted her eyes from him as she didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Mo Jiang didn't make things difficult for her. ”Think about it.”

Of course, Liu Juan wasn't ready but thinking that it was Mo Jiang's room, she had some sense of security and went to sleep alone.

However, her nightmares haunted her down there also.

”No!” Liu Juan screamed in horror as she finally came out of her nightmare. She gasped for air, and her face was stained in tears and her clothes were drenched with sweat.

Her heart was pounding loudly and fast, and she was shivering in fear. The room was engrossed in the darkness such that she felt like she was still in the nightmarish world.

She moved back and folded herself in a ball, trying to get a sense of security from her own body's warmth.

'Click.'

At the time, the room lit up, and Mo Jiang came in. His brows frowned and his heart sank seeing her like this. ”Juan,” He called out softly.

When she heard the familiar voice, she immediately looked up. Her vision was blurred with tears but she could see his face. ”Jiang.”

She immediately leaped up and ran to his embrace. He immediately hugged her back and patted her back to comfort her. ”Everything will be alright.”

The sobs echoed in the room. Her body was still shivering badly and she clung to his body as if her life depended on him.

This scenario wasn't new to Mo Jiang and his heart broke to see her like this.

Nevertheless, Mo Jiang still stood firmly on his point that except for comforting her, he wouldn't help her because the person who could help her was she, herself.

It took a while for Liu Juan to calm down. He wiped her tears and handed over a glass of water to drink.

”Come on let's change and go back to sleep. Nothing will happen to you.” Mo Jiang said and passed her a towel.
