Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Coaxing Him to Sleep Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Coaxing Him to Sleep Qiao Ruoxin prepared two simple American-style breakfasts.
She picked up the glass, took a sip of the orange juice, and looked at the man opposite her, “Come to my room later, and I’ll help you take off the adhesive bandage and disinfect the wound again.”
Mo Chen raised his eyes to glance at her, “Can’t we do it here?”
“The medicine box is in my room.”
After finishing her breakfast, Ruoxin wiped the corner of her mouth and stood up, “Hurry over, I’ll wait for you in the room.”
Watching her leave, Mo Chen felt some resistance in his heart, he didn’t want to enter a woman’s room.
But after a while, having finished breakfast, he still got up and walked upstairs.
…
In the guest room, Qiao Ruoxin lit an aromatherapy diffuser, one that eased fatigue and promoted sleep.
The door was pushed open, and Mo Chen came in.
She naturally opened the medicine box, took out a cotton swab dipped in medical alcohol, and approached him.
Mo Chen instinctively lowered his head to avoid her not reaching.
Qiao Ruoxin gently removed the adhesive bandage from the corner of his forehead, then disinfected the wound with the cotton swab.
“Done.”
Mo Chen straightened up, “I’m leaving.”
At the moment he turned to leave, Ruoxin suddenly grabbed his hand, and without warning, pushed him down on the bed.
Mo Chen’s tall body fell onto the soft, cushy big bed.
Then, Qiao Ruoxin lay down beside him, tightly holding his hand.
“Brother Mo Chen, I want to sleep, keep me company…”
Annoyance immediately surfaced on the man’s coldly handsome face, “I really want to kill you! Sleep by yourself!”
He shook off the woman’s hand, ready to get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, Ruoxin grabbed his hand again.
With a pitiful look, she lay on the bed looking up at him, “If you don’t keep me company, I’ll start stripping your clothes, you know?”
Mo Chen slightly raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes narrowing as he said in a deep voice, “What did you say?”
Ruoxin stared at him for a few seconds before suddenly getting up to start taking off his suit jacket.
“I said, I’m going to strip your clothes! I’m going to molest you!”
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his agile body dodged Ruoxin’s restless little hands as he said harshly, “Do you want me to throw up on you?”
Qiao Ruoxin laughed lightly, “Then just lie down quietly, if you don’t move, I won’t move.”
Mo Chen stared at her expressionlessly, the two in a standoff, neither willing to admit defeat.
This damn man wouldn’t listen to her at all!
After a few seconds of silence, Ruoxin suddenly lunged at him, attempting to strip off his jacket again.
“Qiao Ruoxin! Have you had enough?”
The man grabbed her wrist with such force it nearly crushed her.
Enduring the pain, her little face stubborn, she asserted, “If you sleep with me, I’ll stop causing trouble.”
Mo Chen stared at her for a long while, then closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the anger within him.
Finally, he lay down on the bed, waiting for Ruoxin to fall asleep before he would leave.
Ruoxin also lay beside him, tightly holding the man’s hand, afraid he might break free the next second.
Lying in the soft bed, the slight fragrance unique to Ruoxin kept invading Mo Chen’s nostrils.
He frowned, his handsome face tense, enduring.
One second…
One minute…
Half an hour…
Hearing Ruoxin’s even breathing, he sat up ready to leave.
He tried to pull away her small hand, only to find it held on even tighter.
Suddenly, Ruoxin’s beautiful eyes opened, “Brother Mo Chen, are you really looking forward to me taking off your clothes?”
