Chapter 436 - My Life

"I was training yesterday…"

"For how long?"

"Almost eight hours…"

Before Yang Zhen Ying and the babies arrived, Mo Xi had already trained for almost five hours.

The moment those words leave Mo Xi's mouth, Jing Mo Chen's grip on her wrist tightened immediately. However, instead of expressing his anger like before, he remained quiet. He released her hand and walked into the bathroom.

Mo Xi shivered slightly from fear as the look in Jing Mo Chen's eyes earlier on told her that this time around, he wasn't going to forgive her easily. There were only two things that he wanted from her. The two things were to be safe and to take care of herself, and not overwork like how she did in the past. However, she didn't meet any of that. 

Firstly, Mo Xi insisted on putting herself in danger by getting involved with the matters of Poker. Not only that, but she even came back with the identity of Princess Luana and put herself in even more danger. However, Jing Mo Chen decided to close one eye with that because she had already been involved, and this time around, there were many people around to help her and keep her safe. Then, now, she got injured, and her whole body was filled with bruises that she had to wear long sleeves and pants to cover her hands and legs. She even overtrained her body by a lot more hours than she should and had done before because she was anxious about getting improvements.

Mo Xi didn't follow the only two things that Jing Mo Chen wanted from her, and she knew that she was in the wrong, and that was why she was guilty about it. If she had paid attention not to overtrain yesterday, he wouldn't have been this angry.

Mo Xi looked at Jing Mo Chen going to the bathroom in anger and silence, but she didn't know what to do. Very shortly after he entered the bathroom, the sound of water flowing could be heard, and as though being hit, she got up immediately and went to take a pen and paper from the study room. She quickly wrote down words on the paper and stood outside the bathroom as she waited for him to come out.

When Jing Mo Chen came out, the first thing that he saw was the papers that Mo Xi held up in front of her with her head down.

Seeing that Jing Mo Chen had come out, Mo Xi held up the paper higher to let him read.

"I am sorry…"

Mo Xi then flipped to the next paper.

"I know I was wrong…"

Mo Xi flipped the paper again.

"I shouldn't have overworked…"

"I shouldn't be so anxious to train…"

"I am sorry to make you worried…"

"I promise that this is the last time that I overwork myself!"

"I promise that I will take good care of myself!"

"I know that you are not going to forgive me so easily, but I am prepared to do anything possible to ask for your forgiveness."

Mo Xi then continued to keep her head lowered as she waited for Jing Mo Chen to speak. However, he didn't say anything, nor did he do anything. He walked away towards their cabinet to put on his clothes and walked out.

Seeing that Jing Mo Chen was going to walk out, Mo Xi quickly followed and held onto his arm, "Mo Chen… I am sorry…"

Mo Xi was really scared of how cold Jing Mo Chen was behaving, and she feared that he wouldn't forgive her. That was why the first thing that she did when she saw that he was going to leave was to hold onto him.

Jing Mo Chen pulled his arm out of Mo Xi's grip and tried to leave again. However, this time around, she pulled him into her arms as she hugged him tightly with both hands. 

"Mo Chen… I am really sorry… I know that I shouldn't have overworked no matter how anxious I was…"

Tears flowed out of Mo Xi's eyes the moment Jing Mo Chen left, and no matter how much she wanted to cry her hearts out, she couldn't because their babies were still sleeping. No matter how desperate she was to chase after him, she couldn't because everyone would be worried about the two of them. Hence, she could only curl up beside the door as she waited for him to come back.

Mo Xi hugged her legs and tucked her head down as she cried out, "Mo Chen… I am sorry…"

Mo Xi's body shivered as she cried out, and her whole face was filled with tears. She couldn't feel how badly her body was hurting. The only pain she felt was from her heart.

Some time later, Jing Mo Chen came back in, and Mo Xi stood up immediately to hug him.

Mo Xi tipped toes and hooked her arms around Jing Mo Chen's neck as she hung tightly on him. She leaned her forehead against his shoulder as she cried, "Mo Chen. I really didn't mean to overwork. I was too worried and anxious. Please don't leave me… You are my life… The only thing I want is for you to be safe. However, there are so many people trying to harm you and trying to bring you down. I just can't bear to sit around and let them hurt you. I want to be able to protect you. I don't want to be the one being protected because it makes me feel insecure. It feels like I am defenseless, and I can only watch you be in danger. I don't want that to happen… I know I shouldn't have overworked. Please forgive me… I won't do this again… Please don't leave me…"
