Chapter 44: Nightmares from the Past

Xia Weiwei climbed the stairs to the second floor and went to their bedroom to take a bath once she had rested for a while.

The massage did help a lot as she felt more relaxed.

After taking a hot bath and laying in the bathtub to soak for twenty minutes, she felt like she was reborn.

All the fatigue was gone.

She did her nighttime skincare routine and went downstairs to warm a glass of milk for Mo Shian.

She knew that if she didn't, he would probably drink coffee that would disrupt his sleep.

She had enjoyed spending the evening with him, but she knew that he would have to spend more time in the study finishing his work.

Sometimes, she wished she understood the business he did; that way, she could help him.

Unfortunately, in their previous lives, she had been so distant that she only knew a few things that made it to international news and left an impression.

Otherwise, she would completely know nothing about her husband.

So, she could only try to make his life more comfortable by giving him more energy to work faster so that he could rest early.

She wondered if he would implement the healthy living project she had suggested before.

If they could launch it in the next five months before it went viral and the first restaurant focusing on the idea opened, then they'd have a significant advantage.

Once the milk was warm, she put it in a cup and took it to the study.

She knocked on the door and only entered when she heard Mo Shian respond.

"Come in." He said. He already knew who it was and was especially happy.

It had been a long time since he experienced the happiness he had experienced the past few days.

He hoped that even if he was dreaming, he would never wake up from this dream.

Xia Weiwei had been so cold to him before that he wished he could die. It was torture looking at her and not being able to talk to her, hold her, or touch her in any way.

Now that they talked, laughed, went on dates, and even slept on the same bed, he was happier than when he signed a billion-dollar contract.

Xia Weiwei pushed the door open and walked in carrying a cup of milk and a small plate of fruits.

She had washed some strawberries and brought them along with the cup of milk.

Even though she had ignored her husband and didn't know much about him, she knew that he loved strawberries.

He didn't like sweet things, but he loved strawberries because their sugar content was not extremely high and they had a sour test mixed with the sweetness.

She placed both the cup and fruit plate on the table and pushed them toward Mo Shian.

Drink the milk first and eat some fruit before you continue working. It's good for your health.

"Thank you, baby." Mo Shian said with a smile that almost caused Xia Weiwei's heart to stop.

Seriously, her brain must have been kicked by a donkey to have fought against such a handsome and loving husband in her past life. She almost wanted to slap herself.

Mo Shian picked up the glass of milk and drank the contents in one gulp. He actually didn't like milk, but since it was given to him by his beloved wife, even if it was poison, he would be happy to drink it.

He picked up a strawberry and brought it to Xia Weiwei's mouth to feed her. He was actually a little nervous. He didn't know if she would eat something he had given her, especially using his hands, but he was willing to try.

If she refused, he would just eat it himself, but to his delight, Xia Weiwei didn't reject him and opened her mouth to eat the strawberry.

After feeding her a couple more she rejected the rest and asked him to eat.

"You should eat the rest. I'll go to bed, don't work too late. Try to rest early as work isn't going anywhere. You will still have work tomorrow no matter how much you work today."

"Alright, I'll just finish two of the most urgent documents and then come to bed. Go to sleep first." Mo Shian was happy that Xia Weiwei was now worrying about him.

So, he decided to go to bed after only finishing two documents. He was the boss anyway and even if he lost one or two contracts, it wasn't a big deal. He didn't want his wife to worry.

Xia Weiwei picked up the now-empty cup and took it back to the kitchen before going to bed.

She was in the middle of a nightmare where she held Mo Shian, who had been stabbed in the chest with a knife when the space next to her dipped.

She moved closer to the warmth that had appeared next to her and held for dear life. She felt like she was suffocating.

Xia Weiwei had been having this nightmare for the past few nights consecutively. She knew that she was reborn and something like that hadn't happened in her life, but her fear of losing Mo Shian was too strong.

Mo Shian wrapped his arms around the woman on the bed and started patting her on her back to comfort her.

For the past few nights, it had been the same. For some reason, Xia Weiwei was having nightmares but after asking the first time and she wasn't willing to talk about it, he never asked again.

He could only hold her and comfort her. Hoping that his presence would give her a sense of security and drive away whatever nightmare it was.

Soon enough Xia Weiwei settled down and went into a deep sleep. As long as Mo Shian was close to her and she could feel his warmth and smell his unique scent, she would be comforted.

The next morning, when Xia Weiwei woke up, Mo Shian was already gone. She stretched her hand, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and checked the time.

It was already 8.30 am. She had overslept and no one woke her up. It must have been Mo Shian who asked Aunt Wu not to disturb her.

She got up and stretched her muscles before going to the bathroom to freshen up. Her period was gone and she felt much better and more comfortable.
