Mo Jiang quietly observed her, to see what her reaction would be, and she quietly lowered her head and murmured. "I am exhausted." A drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
Suddenly, she was feeling very tired and didn't want to continue with these fights and pointless arguments anymore.
She always wanted to live an ordinary life like an ordinary person does but fate always intervened and made her follow the path full of thorns: bloodshed, violence, and loneliness.
Hence, she was tired of living a life like that and didn't want to continue to live anymore.
It was the first time that Mo Jiang saw Liu Juan so vulnerable which only urged him to protect her.
Thus, his reasoning made her tough life into an easy one. "Then rest if you are tired, why are you bothering to give up on such a beautiful life?" Mo Jiang wiped her tears.
Beautiful life?
Liu Juan looked perplexed upon hearing this strange word. Could life be beautiful?
She didn't think so but Mo Jiang did and he would let her see how beautiful life could be.
***
After Liu Juan's health got better, she and Mo Jiang shifted back to Amora Mansion where Mo Jiang was living alone before as he didn't like any kind of disturbance. In fact, there wasn't even any servant in this mansion, except for a cleaner who came twice a week.
Amora Mansion was his mother's mansion. Whenever she felt lonely or upset, she came to stay here despite knowing that no one else lived here except for her and her children. Still, she never felt lonely in this cozy mansion. She had decorated this mansion personally and the memories here were very pleasant.
Mo Jinnan also wanted to stay here but Mo Jiang didn't allow him. This time, Mo Jiang wanted to be selfish. He had been making many sacrifices but he didn't want to lose this mansion.
Seeing Mo Jiang's selfish nature for the first time in his life, Mo Jinnan happily gave away this mansion to his brother.
Home?
Another strange word.
There were many strange words which she was hearing and feeling nowadays but she liked them.
Now the idea to end her life was going far away from her mind but not completely gone. As Mo Jiang had said, Liu Juan was only resting and doing nothing and in between, she also felt the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of living a beautiful life.
Mo Jiang started going back to Mo Corporation as the work had been piling up there. Although Mo Jinnan did most of the work, there were still many things that required Mo Jiang's attention.
Therefore, on the weekdays, Liu Juan either rested in the Amora Mansion or tagged along with Mo Jiang to Mo Corporation, not to do work but just to give Mo Jiang company.
And on weekends, they both flew away to have a trip to expand their exposure to the world, little by little.
This was the first time that Liu Juan was living a lazy life like a piglet which was hard to accept as she always had some work to do and not just eat and sleep like a pig.
Therefore, there was a time when Liu Juan questioned his kind intentions. "You still don't trust me, do you? That's why you aren't allowing me to work for you, tell me if I am wrong?"
However, Mo Jiang didn't get provoked under her questioning for his kind intention. "What a smart girl you have become! See the perks for living this beautiful life, no?"
Liu Juan's face had turned sullen upon hearing his sarcastic comment as he was trying to say that she was brainless before.
Immediately she snatched the bowl of soup and drank it all in one big gulp in a huff.
Liu Juan didn't seem to realize but Mo Jiang did observe Liu Juan's appetite had increased and now she wasn't skinny anymore but had started to become round like a balloon.
And now, Mo Jiang was realizing how beautiful Liu Juan was.
Her baby hair which near her ears had grown longer to reach her shoulders giving her a feminine look.
In fact, her white skin had started to glow just like a pearl and her blue eyes twinkled like two sparkly orbs when she looked at him with her innocent gaze.
Under her gaze, he felt some reaction in the down below where he didn't want to look as it would be difficult to control himself and he didn't want to hurt this innocent girl.
Why?
He didn't know but things did change in his life as well. Now he didn't feel his life was a burden of responsibilities that he needed to fulfill. In fact, he was looking forward to going home knowing there was someone waiting for him and wanted to live a peaceful life despite the fact, he knew it wouldn't be possible.
Just like the other day, Mo Jiang had wrapped up his work early and was ready to go home, knowing the lady at the home was a horrible cook and she must be hungry. Furthermore, if she didn't get her dinner on time, she would throw a tantrum.
"Brother...You finished your work early today. Great! Let's go for a drink, I will also call Li to join us." Mo Jinnan met Mo Jiang outside his office and was surprised to see his brother going home early which was rare but not nowadays.
Well, many surprising things were happening in Mo Jiang's life, since Liu Juan came.
"Not today, Liu Juan is waiting for me. I have to go, Bye!" Mo Jiang said and soon disappeared into the elevator, unknown to the hatred in Mo Jinnan's eyes upon hearing Liu Juan's name.
