After finishing his shower and just drying off with a towel, the bathroom door was knocked on. Before Mo Ming could say anything, the door swung open. Fortunately, Mo Ming reacted quickly and wrapped the towel around himself, awkwardly looking at Lin Yuan'er, who approached him with a smile. Mo Ming muttered, "How did you get in here..."
Lin Yuan'er blinked her long eyelashes and said cheerfully, "Of course I came to bring you some clothes. Do you want to wear dirty ones?"
"…Then just give me the clothes."
Lin Yuan'er nodded slightly and placed the clothes on the rack. However, when she accidentally caught sight of the numerous scars on Mo Ming's upper body, her heart immediately filled with pain. Unable to resist, she reached out to touch one of the large scars on his body, which made her feel even more sorrowful, while Mo Ming experienced an inexplicable jolt.
Her delicate hand gently caressed him; in this situation, if he didn’t react, Mo Ming would truly be like a statue.
"Ahem..." Shrinking back several times but unable to escape Lin Yuan'er's touch, Mo Ming had no choice but to clear his throat awkwardly and said, "Um, Yuan'er, could you step outside for a moment? I need to change."
Realizing what she had done, Lin Yuan'er’s face turned bright red as she hurriedly turned to leave. However, she was moving too quickly and slipped on the wet floor. Fortunately, Mo Ming was quick enough to reach out and pull her into his arms. But due to his sudden movement, the towel slipped from his body.
Lin Yuan'er felt something brush against her body and curiously looked down, only to see Mo Ming's private part...
"Ah..."
This unexpected incident left Mo Ming feeling extremely embarrassed as he quickly covered himself with his hands. Lin Yuan'er’s face turned even redder, resembling clouds dyed by the setting sun. She immediately turned away and hurriedly left to escape the awkward situation.
"Sweat, this kind of scene is almost like something out of a TV drama..." Mo Ming felt speechless as he quickly put on the clothes Lin Yuan'er had brought.
They fit quite well, seemingly tailored just for him. The outfit was entirely black, with a white shirt underneath and a black suit jacket on top. The pants were cropped; wasn't this style similar to those outfits Murong Lian had bought for him?
After changing clothes, Mo Ming stepped out of the bathroom and found Lin Yuan'er sitting on the bed with her head down. Perhaps she was shy about what had just happened and didn’t dare look at him. Mo Ming remained silent and quietly walked toward the front door, intending to make do with the sofa in the living room for the night. After all, he had slept in all sorts of places—grasslands, swamps, deserts—so a sofa would be much better than those.
Just as Mo Ming was about to open the door, Lin Yuan'er hurried over from behind and hugged him tightly.
"Can you stay tonight? Please keep me company," Lin Yuan'er said in a pleading tone.
At that moment, Mo Ming halted his movement of opening the door. Hesitating, he found himself caught in a conflict between desire and reason; his body seemed unable to move. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lin Yuan'er’s words.
"I don't need too much from you, just stay with me for one night." Lin Yuan'er felt like crying a little. "I know Brother Mo is doing this for my own good, not wanting to abandon me, but I will only marry you in this life... No, I can't do without you. We are already husband and wife. Do you expect me to wait for you my whole life? Do you really think this is for my own good?"
This statement shook Mo Ming's heart. He silently thought, "Is this really for her good? Although the marriage was forced by the old man, it is still a fact. Is this how I should treat her?"
"I know you're still thinking about Sister Qingmeng, but she has already..." Lin Yuan'er paused, afraid of touching Mo Ming's wounds, then continued, "Why can't you try to accept me? I don't need to fill your heart completely; I just need a small space to stay in. That's enough for me. Brother Mo, please stay with me tonight."
...
After a long silence, their positions remained unchanged for quite some time. Mo Ming finally sighed, reached out to gently pry Lin Yuan'er's hand away, and slowly turned to face her. He saw a flash of disappointment in Lin Yuan'er's eyes; her breath slightly quickened as she was about to speak when Mo Ming softly said, "Alright, I'll stay with you tonight."
Lin Yuan'er looked at Mo Ming in surprise, thinking she must have misheard him. In disbelief, she asked, "Brother Mo, what did you just say?"
"Hehe, I said I'll stay with you tonight," Mo Ming smiled and repeated.
Some things must be faced; avoidance is not a solution. Lin Yuan'er's words had gradually pried open the long-frozen door. Although it was just a small crack, it allowed Mo Ming to feel somewhat relieved and begin to try accepting Lin Yuan'er. This was the first step and also the most difficult one.
Mo Ming finally bravely stepped forward and picked up Lin Yuan'er in his arms. Lin Yuan'er felt her heart racing from this sudden intimacy; her face turned even redder as she buried herself in Mo Ming's embrace, quietly feeling an inexplicable sense of security.
When they reached the bedside, Mo Ming gently set Lin Yuan'er down but intended to rise. However, Lin Yuan'er hooked her arms around his neck, refusing to let him leave. Mo Ming quietly gazed at Lin Yuan'er's red lips and her dreamy eyes; he couldn't help but gently press his lips against those tempting red lips before pulling away from her grasp and laughing, "Alright, it's time to sleep."
"Mm."
Lin Yuan'er nodded lightly and replied softly. She knew that it was not easy for Mo Ming to reach this point and didn't ask for too much; her heart was already sweetened by this moment. She truly wished time could stop right there.
Indeed, reaching this point required significant compromise from Mo Ming as he worked hard to accept Lin Yuan'er in his heart. This needed time; it wasn't something that could be accepted all at once. Mo Ming could only promise not to avoid Lin Yuan'er anymore. Just as he moved to the other side and wanted to lie down, his phone rang.
Mo Ming took out his phone and saw the caller ID; he immediately panicked and hesitated to answer it—it was Jun Qianqian calling.
"Brother Mo, why aren't you answering?"
After a while, the ringing stopped. Mo Ming turned his head and smiled slightly at Lin Yuan'er. "It's nothing, just a prank call."
"Oh," Lin Yuan'er replied, smiling. "It's getting late, so let's go to sleep."
Without saying anything further, Mo Ming nodded, put down his phone, turned off the light, and went to sleep. However, not long after, the phone rang again. Lin Yuan'er felt something was off and quickly grabbed Mo Ming's phone from the bedside. When she looked at the screen, she saw a woman's name.
Sensing danger, Lin Yuan'er pouted and said, "Brother Mo, who is this woman? Why aren't you answering her calls?"
"Just a friend... We've had some disagreements lately, so I don't really want to talk."
"Hmph, so she's clinging to you, right? No worries, I'll help you set things straight." Lin Yuan'er huffed a few times and swiped to answer the call. Mo Ming widened his eyes in surprise and quickly reached for the phone, hesitating whether to hang up. On the other end came Jun Qianqian's voice: "Dead Mo Ming, where have you been? Why haven't you come back so late?"
Seeing Lin Yuan'er’s displeased expression, Mo Ming awkwardly smiled before finally speaking.
"I have some things to take care of; I won't be coming back tonight..."
On the other end, Jun Qianqian started throwing a tantrum: "You must be out messing around! Just tell me where you are. Either come back quickly or I'm coming to find you—your choice!"
"I'm not in Nanhua City."
"You're lying! Who would believe you? Just tell me who has the audacity to let you stay overnight!"
"I..."
Lin Yuan'er vaguely heard Jun Qianqian's words and felt a surge of jealousy. She snatched Mo Ming's phone and said, "Who do you think you are calling at this hour? I'm his legitimate partner; it's only natural for him to spend the night with me. What are you? A concubine?"
"You're Lin Yuan'er?" There was a moment of silence on the other end before Jun Qianqian responded with a sarcastic tone. "Hmph, you're quite the seductress for managing to get Mo Ming into bed. I underestimated you; how shameless..."
A barrage of insults came pouring in. Lin Yuan'er was filled with anger and hung up before Jun Qianqian could finish her sentence. She immediately added Jun Qianqian's number to her blacklist and returned the phone to Mo Ming with a forced smile. "Alright, it's all settled now, Brother Mo. We can rest."
"......" Mo Ming couldn't hold back any longer and could only smile bitterly while covering his head, thinking that tomorrow Jun Qianqian would definitely cause a scene.
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later; it just happened earlier than expected. Mo Ming decided not to dwell on it anymore. After all, Lin Yuan'er was his wife, and there was nothing wrong with spending the night together.
As the night grew deeper... the night passed without any passion, just in this calm manner.
When Mo Ming woke up, he found Lin Yuan'er close to him, one hand resting on his body, her head nestled on his chest, sleeping very sweetly. He couldn't bear to disturb her. Lin Yuan'er's natural scent surrounded Mo Ming's nostrils, a fragrance that didn't rely on any perfume, bringing him a sense of peace and joy.
Lin Yuan'er had a special constitution that naturally emitted an enchanting fragrance. This trait had been present since she began to speak, and even internationally renowned doctors could not explain it.
After maintaining that position for a long time, Lin Yuan'er slowly opened her eyes, lifted her head, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and then realized that she had unknowingly fallen asleep on Mo Ming's chest last night. Instinctively retreating a bit, she saw that Mo Ming was already awake and looking at her with open eyes.
"I'm sorry, Brother Mo. I didn't mean to fall asleep on your chest."
Mo Ming looked at her with gentle warmth in his eyes and smiled. "No need to apologize; isn't this quite normal? After all, we are already husband and wife." After a pause, he continued, "Right now, I may not be able to fully accept you or give you much, but I hope my chest and shoulders can be a place for you to lean on. Don't worry; I will work hard to sort out my feelings so that you can move in. I don't want you to suffer alongside me."
"Mm-hmm, I will wait for you until the day you completely accept me." Lin Yuan'er felt an overwhelming happiness in her heart that radiated from her face. Her autumn-like eyes gazed deeply at Mo Ming, almost brimming with tears. A smile appeared at the corners of her mouth as she instinctively leaned in with her red lips.
