Chapter 7: The Beast in His Heart Was About to Break Free

Yan Mo Jiu looked at the hot water in the bathtub and let out a sigh of relief.

He was overthinking.

His little rose really just turned on the hot water for him.

She didn’t even find him pajamas.

Well…

The pampered princess he raised, how could she possibly serve anyone?

Yan Mo Jiu chuckled and raised his long, slender fingers to unbutton his shirt.

Then, he grabbed his belt, unbuckled it, and started to take it off.

Suddenly, Meng Mingxuan walked back into the bathroom.

“Jiu Ge, should I bring the clothes into the bathroom or put them on the bed?”

As soon as her sweet voice entered his ears, Yan Mo Jiu almost immediately pulled his pants back up!

He didn’t even dare to turn around.

Because if he turned around, she would see something unusual.

“Put them on the bed.”

Yan Mo Jiu’s fingers, clutching the pants, were almost white.

The veins on the back of his hand were also bulging.

Meng Mingxuan didn’t expect Yan Mo Jiu to undress so quickly.

But after being stunned for a moment, she didn’t think anything of it – when she first arrived at the Yan family, she was afraid and often had to hold Jiu Ge to sleep, and her swimming instructor when she was 16 was also Jiu Ge.

So, she looked at Yan Mo Jiu’s bare back without any hesitation.

Jiu Ge has such a good figure, no wonder he’s the fighting king of Liming City!

“Mingxuan.”

Yan Mo Jiu endured until sweat broke out on his forehead.

His years of training in keen observation made him clearly feel her gaze falling on his back – she was admiring his body!

He couldn’t even control himself and moved his hand towards the area below his belt.

If he hadn’t been in control, he thought he would have scared her tonight.

Meng Mingxuan mumbled, “You’re such a stingy person,” before finally withdrawing her gaze.

“Then I’ll put Jiu Ge’s clothes on the bed.”

“Hmm.”

The man’s voice seemed a little deeper than usual, with an indescribable huskiness.

Meng Mingxuan thought that her Jiu Ge’s voice was really nice, but… it was a little scary.

She had always been a little afraid of the feeling when his voice suddenly dropped in her past life.

Meng Mingxuan thought about it as she turned and left the bathroom, placing Yan Mo Jiu’s gray pajamas neatly on the bed.

Sigh, Jiu Ge’s clothes are too monotonous.

Either black or gray.

Not even white.

It seems like she needs to find some time to go to the mall and buy Jiu Ge some nice and handsome clothes.

Meng Mingxuan curled up on the soft sofa, planning what she would do next in her mind.

Yan Mo Jiu took a long time to shower.

Meng Mingxuan was almost falling asleep again.

Yan Mo Jiu thought Meng Mingxuan had gone back to her own room, but after he had relieved himself and finished showering, he walked out wrapped in a towel, only to see Meng Mingxuan curled up on the sofa in his room, a tiny ball, her eyelids drooping.

He pursed his thin lips slightly and reached out to take the clothes she had found for him, putting them on one by one.

Except…

She didn’t find him underwear.

This was a rhythm that would leave him hanging.

A faint smile flashed in Yan Mo Jiu’s black eyes.

After changing his clothes, Yan Mo Jiu came to the sofa and slowly squatted down.

He reached out and rubbed Meng Mingxuan’s head.

“Mingxuan.”

Meng Mingxuan woke up immediately and sat up: “Jiu Ge, you’re done showering.”

“Hmm.” Yan Mo Jiu touched the sleeve of his pajamas and chuckled: “Thank you for finding pajamas for brother.”

But…

She didn’t find him underwear.

This was a rhythm that would leave him hanging.

A faint smile flashed in Yan Mo Jiu’s black eyes.

After changing his clothes, Yan Mo Jiu came to the sofa and slowly squatted down.

He reached out and rubbed Meng Mingxuan’s head.

“Mingxuan.”

Meng Mingxuan woke up immediately and sat up: “Jiu Ge, you’re done showering.”

“Hmm.” Yan Mo Jiu touched the sleeve of his pajamas and chuckled: “Thank you for finding pajamas for brother.”

“The clothes are very comfortable,” he said.

Meng Mingxuan blinked.

This…

Didn’t the butler buy them for him?

“It’s getting late, go back to your room and sleep,” Yan Mo Jiu said, his gaze sweeping over her injured wrist.

She was injured and needed to rest well.

“I…” Meng Mingxuan would have gone back to her room long ago, why was she still on the sofa if she didn’t want to go back? But she also knew that she and Yan Mo Jiu were both adults, and she couldn’t sleep with Yan Mo Jiu. But she really didn’t want to be alone…

“Jiu Ge, I’m a little scared, can… I just sleep here?” Meng Mingxuan bit her lip and asked softly.

Yan Mo Jiu’s breath caught in his throat, and he looked at her in disbelief. Did she know what she was saying?

Meng Mingxuan was startled by Yan Mo Jiu’s gaze and hurriedly explained: “Jiu Ge, I, I just want this sofa…” As long as she could feel him by her side, she would feel at ease. Otherwise, she would always feel like it was all a dream. Even the car accident was a nightmare. When the nightmare was over and the dream woke up, she would still be imprisoned in that empty villa, all alone.

Yan Mo Jiu looked at her anxious eyes for a long time before finally believing that she wasn’t joking, but serious. He raised his finger and touched her cheek again. Her eyes no longer showed any resistance, and she even unconsciously leaned towards his finger. She rubbed against it. Just like her dependence on him before. This made the beast in his heart almost unable to be contained.

“Brother will sleep on the sofa,” he said, looking at her intently, his voice husky. “Mingxuan will sleep on the bed.”

Meng Mingxuan was stunned: “How can…”

“That’s settled. Otherwise, go back to your own room to sleep.”

Yan Mo Jiu’s words successfully shut Meng Mingxuan up. She didn’t want to leave the place where Jiu Ge was. Anyway, she was graduating from college now, and she was secretly planning to become his assistant!

Seeing that she no longer had any objections, Yan Mo Jiu reached out and picked her up from the sofa, walking steadily towards the big bed.

“Hold me tight,” he said. When he stood by the bed, he looked down at the girl in his arms, “Don’t use your left wrist.”

“Okay.” Meng Mingxuan obediently hugged his neck.

Yan Mo Jiu freed one hand and lifted the gray blanket. Meng Mingxuan felt her center of gravity shift and quickly hugged Yan Mo Jiu even tighter. Yan Mo Jiu quickly retracted his hand and held her steady again. Although he wanted her to hold him a little longer, he couldn’t bear to see her in pain. She had an injured hand.

Yan Mo Jiu put Meng Mingxuan on the bed, bent over and looked at her for a moment, touching her head: “Sleep.”

“Hmm.” Meng Mingxuan was about to say goodnight, but suddenly thought of something and quickly grabbed the man’s sleeve: “Jiu Ge, don’t turn off the lights.” For three years, she was alone and increasingly afraid, developing the habit of not turning off the lights when she slept.

“There’s a nightlight on the bedside table,” Yan Mo Jiu said, not agreeing. It’s not good to sleep with the lights on.

Meng Mingxuan pouted. Forget it, a nightlight is better than nothing. Anyway, with Jiu Ge’s presence, she shouldn’t be afraid. Thinking about it, Meng Mingxuan felt relaxed. She smiled brightly and said: “Jiu Ge, goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

Baby. Yan Mo Jiu added two words in his heart, then got up and turned on the nightlight, turning off the room lights. He tucked Meng Mingxuan in and then turned around and lay down on the sofa.

The bedroom soon fell silent. Meng Mingxuan gradually felt a little uneasy and wanted to sit up and see if Yan Mo Jiu was still there. After a while, she couldn’t help it.

“Jiu Ge?” She called out.

“You’re such a big person, you don’t need to be coaxed to sleep, do you?” She wasn’t asleep, how could Yan Mo Jiu fall asleep?

“…”

After a little embarrassment, Meng Mingxuan said with a thick face: “If Jiu Ge doesn’t mind, it’s not impossible.” After all, he said he was taking a day off tomorrow and not going to work, didn’t he? If he had to work, she wouldn’t be so unreasonable and ask him to coax her to sleep.
