Chapter 27: I Won’t Do That to You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wen Ran took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little bit, then said in a low voice, “I dreamed of my parents.”
Mo Xiuchen frowned, gazed at her tear-stained face, then gently consoled her, “The cause of the car accident is under investigation by the police. If they find out that there’s foul play, the murderer who killed your parents will definitely be brought to justice.”
Wen Ran sniffled, then said bitterly, “My parents were killed. The car was fine in the morning, but the brake suddenly stopped working in the afternoon…”
Mo Xiuchen nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed. He raised his hand and patted her shoulder. “The police will find out these things,” he assured her. “It’s midnight. Don’t think about it too much. Lie down and sleep.”
Now that he was closer to her, the faint smell of alcohol wafted into her nose. Her eyes widened in astonishment then asked out of concern, “Did you come back just now?”
With tenderness in his eyes, Mo Xiuchen nodded. “Yes, I just got home.”
Wen Ran frowned. She wanted to inquire further but thought it best not to. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was the same time as her nightmares in the past…
She cast aside the emotions in her heart and said softly, “Then clean up and rest.”
“Okay. I’ll go shower first.”
Mo Xiuchen stood up and went into the bathroom to shower. Although he took a shower just now, he and Gu Kai stayed in the bar for a long time, then they ate in a nearby diner. He simply showered to wash off the smell of the bar and rinsed his mouth before coming out.
On the spacious bed, leaving him with the other spacious half, Wen Ran lay sideways on the other side.
Gazing at her body lying on its side, Mo Xiuchen had a gloomy expression in the depths of his eyes. He walked to the bed, pulled up the comforter, then lay down. As soon as his hand touched Wen Ran, her body stiffened at first, then trembled.
“You don’t need to be nervous. I won’t do anything to you,” Mo Xiuchen assured her.
Mo Xiuchen took away his hand, and added, “Move a little closer. I don’t want to see you fall off the bed in the middle of the night.”
Wen Ran replied firmly, “No.” The next second, an arm was wrapped around her waist. She suddenly stiffened, and she was forcibly turned around. Mo Xiuchen’s low voice sounded on top of her head. “If you sleep on the edge of the bed again, I will wrap my arms around you as I sleep.”
Wen Ran felt a shiver down her spine. She instantly replied, “I won’t.”
Did she really not want his arms wrapped around her? How good would that feel, locked in an embrace while sleeping?
“Well then, go to sleep.”
Feeling her body tighten under his grasp, Mo Xiuchen let go of her, and his eyes slowly closed.
The moment he withdrew his hand, Wen Ran was still unable to relax. She didn’t move away from him nor return to her previous position.
The dim light highlighted his cold facial features. Like two fans casting a shadow beneath his eyes, his eyelashes were thick and long. His gentle expression made her remember a popular idiom, “soft and gentle as jade”.
Wen Ran was stunned for a moment. How could God deprive him of the most important thing? If it weren’t for him being sexually impotent, there was probably no telling as to how many women would throw themselves at him. He wouldn’t give her time of day. Heck, he wouldn’t even notice her.
She lay down staring at him. Wen Ran actually forgot about her nervousness not long after. Maybe it was because she figured out that there was no ‘danger’ in literally sleeping with him. Gradually, she relaxed and slowly fell asleep.
Hearing her steady breathing beside him, Mo Xiuchen’s closed eyes opened, and there was no hint of sleepiness in his eyes.
