Mo Jiang was caught off guard hearing this question. After a minute of silence, he replied, "You."

Mo Jinnan widened his eyes hearing his brother's reply. Liu Juan was right; he was indeed more important than her in Mo Jiang's life.

He didn't know why but his throat choked and his eyes turned hot with tears.

He immediately stood up, stretching the chair backward. "I need to go somewhere. I will leave first."

He didn't want to show his tears to his brother.

"Jinnan…" Mo Jiang called out as he couldn't understand what was happening.

Mo Jinnan halted and cleared his throat and said, "Right….About your wife's information. I just hired a private investigator. But I just found out about her childhood incidents and after that, someone killed that detective. Even I don't know who did that. And…Don't worry, I won't join the Underworld Business."

With that, Mo Jinnan left.

Mo Jiang sighed in relief hearing his brother's explanation and didn't stop him.

It was a good thing that Mo Jinnan didn't want to get involved in the underworld business himself.

The problem with Mo Jinnan had been solved without putting much effort with the help of Liu Juan, but her nonchalant behavior didn't change towards Mo Jiang.

Clearly, she was still angry at Mo Jiang.

Thus, to pacify her anger, Mo Jiang cooked delicious food for her, knowing that she must be missing delicious home-cooked food as she didn't like outside food. Otherwise, she would never trick Mo Jinnan into cooking western food.

Fortunately, Mo Jinnan was a good cook, so his cooking satisfied her craving.

Hence, Mo Jiang's cooking didn't help much to pacify her anger.

There is a saying, 'Where straightforwardness does not have a chance of working, crookedness flourishes.'[1].

'Click.'

Liu Juan opened the bathroom door after taking a shower and instantly she felt the ground slip away from under her feet.

"AHHH!"

Mo Jiang threw her on his shoulder and walked towards his room.

"You…What are you doing? Put me down, right this instant!" Liu Juan roared.

"Taking my wife to our room." Mo Jiang said as a matter of fact.

"I have my room, why should I go to your room?" Liu Juan angrily asked.

"I said our room. Didn't you hear that?" Mo Jiang reached his room and put Liu Juan down after locking the door and taking out the key.

"You…Give me the key, I don't want to stay with you." Liu Juan said and tried to take the key from Mo Jiang but he raised his hand high where she couldn't reach.

"Why don't you want to stay with me? You are my wife. Have you forgotten that?" Mo Jiang asked.

"Wife?" Liu Juan stopped struggling and scoffed. "Except registering marriage on paper, when did you consider our marriage serious?"

Mo Jiang's jaw ticked hearing her words. He continued staring at her intensely which sank Liu Juan's heart in her c.h.e.s.t.

No one could scare her except Markus and now, Mo Jiang.

"I am sorry." Mo Jiang uttered words after a while which made Liu Juan look at him astonishingly.

"I was wrong. I was making the same mistake that my father did with my mother. I thought I would be different from him but…"

"You are way much different from him." Liu Juan instantly cut him off.

Although she was angry at Mo Jiang, she never wanted Mo Jiang to depreciate himself to the level of Mo Jun.

"Please forgive me, Liu Juan. Let's start again. I promise I won't disappoint you again." Mo Jiang pleaded and held her arms.

Liu Juan stared at him for a while and said, "Okay." She replied.

It was useless to fight, she had helped him in pursuing Mo Jinnan only with the hope that the silent fight happening between them should be ended and it did happen.

Instantly, a smile broke out on Mo Jiang's lips. "Great. Let's sleep now." Mo Jiang pulled her towards the bed.

However, Liu Juan didn't budge from her place and stopped him. "Jiang…I think I should sleep in my room."

Mo Jiang's brows frown and he asked, "Why? Are you still angry at me?"

She shook her head. "No, it…just that I am not ready." She replied in a low voice.

"For what?" Mo Jiang asked puzzlingly. They were already married. What was the thing making her resistant to being close towards him?

"Do you think I would hurt you?" Mo Jiang asked in a calm tone.

She shook her head again. "It…It is just…" She didn't know what to say.

"Look at me and say what it is." Mo Jiang made her look at him.

Liu Juan bit her lips and hesitatingly said "M----My body is ugly."

Instantly, Mo Jiang's face turned grumpy.

"What did you just say?" Mo Jiang asked angrily.

"Let me go." Liu Juan shoved him away. She wanted to run away from this humiliating situation.

However, Mo Jiang didn't let her go. "Answer me first!"

"I told you that your past doesn't…"

"You can't deny my past." Liu Juan snapped.

Her eyes turned red; this situation was far worse than when both of them were fighting.

Perhaps, she shouldn't have helped him.

"Yes, yes. you are right. I can't deny it!" Mo Jiang snarled and in the next moment, he let her go and opened the  door of the room abruptly.

"Get out!" Mo Jiang ordered her without any visible emotion on his face.
