Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Nightmares from the Past

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.

After having breakfast, Xia Weiwei decided to go buy a gift for her husband. She still remembered the shirt Shen Hao had taken.

Even though she knew that Mo Shian would not believe whatever Xia Xinya said, she still needed to make an effort to avoid unnecessary suspicions.

She had thought about what gift to give Mo Shian and finally decided to give something that not only has sincerity, but also her effort and sentimental value.

Ready made things bought from the shop, no matter how expensive and high-end they were, didn't have any emotional foundation.

What she wanted to give Mo Shian was something that would show that she was thinking about him when she chose it.

So, eventually she decided to make him a pair of cuff-links. She was a designer herself and from her experience from her past life, she knew what would be in trend ahead of time.

So, she decided to make a classic pair of cuffs that would not go out of fashion for a long time.

To do that, she decided to combine ancient elements and charm with modern touches. It will be timeless if the right materials are used.

She remembered that there would be an auction taking place at the Weixin auction house and a unique piece of rock that was found by a fisherman accidentally at the bottom of the sea was cautioned.

Since no one knew what it was, it was not cautioned for a lot of money. Only a million dollars, but the person who bought it for collection purposes had researched it later and it was found that the rock had spiritual and medicinal properties.
