Chapter 1281: Chapter 1281: It’s me, take a good look

Ning Yanan slept fitfully, tossing and turning in her sleep, muttering as though she was having a nightmare.

On her forehead, cold sweat beaded; her hands clutched tightly at the sheets.

Her voice was too quiet for Mo Xiyan to make out her words, but just by looking at her pale face, he knew she must be in discomfort.

He reached out to lift her from the bed and allowed her to lean against his chest.

"Yanan, wake up, it’s just a dream."

Mo Xiyan patted her cheek several times before Ning Yanan slowly opened her eyes to see the man before her, momentarily disoriented.

"Jiang Jinchen, why are you doing this to me..."

Ning Yanan’s hands gripped onto Mo Xiyan’s arm tightly, her words tinged with resentment she herself hadn’t noticed.

She couldn’t get over the fact that Jiang Jinchen, of all people, knew how much she hated the other woman.

Yet he still let those photos leak, was it because they broke up that he wanted to ruin her completely before he’d be satisfied?

Why did his happiness with Jing Yan need to be at the cost of her misery?

"Yanan, it’s me, look clearly."

Mo Xiyan’s chest tightened when he saw the tears streaming down her face, and with a pang of heartache, he lifted her up and strode out of the bedroom.

The bright light in the living room caused Ning Yanan to go blank for a moment.

Then, she finally saw the face of the man before her and gave a slight start.

"I am not Jiang Jinchen, from now on, that name will be gradually erased from your life. Yanan, you must forget all the hurt he caused you, you don’t need to punish yourself for someone else’s mistakes, it’s not worth it."

Mo Xiyan placed Ning Yanan on the sofa, took her shoulders in his hands, and made her look at him.

"Look closely, from now on, the man who will protect you is right here. With me around, I won’t let anyone harm you and our child."

"..."

Ning Yanan hesitated for a few seconds before looking away.

She didn’t dare to look directly at the expression in his eyes.

"I was dreaming just now," she said softly, as a way of explanation.

Mo Xiyan didn’t press her, just gently ruffled her hair.

"I could tell, you broke out in a cold sweat. Don’t forget to change your clothes or you might catch a cold. You can’t take medicine now, and we need to go out; I’ll wait for you."

"Okay."

Ning Yanan, with her head hung low, returned to the bedroom.

Before long, she came out in a long dress, her shoulder-length black hair braided and draped over one shoulder.

At the end of her hair, a sunflower clip made her otherwise pale cheeks look somewhat brightened.

Ning Yanan didn’t know who Mo Xiyan was taking her to meet, but out of politeness, she still applied light makeup to conceal the weariness on her face.

Her tall, slender figure appeared quite fragile, the flowing hem of her dress giving her an air of ethereal beauty, a fragile charm rarely seen on Yanan.

Probably used to her strength, Mo Xiyan was momentarily taken aback at first sight of her.

After staring for a few seconds, he stepped forward and took her hand.

"Yaya, you look very beautiful like this."

"..."

Ning Yanan was taken aback for a moment when Mo Xiyan called her Yaya.

By the time she collected herself, Mo Xiyan was already leading her outside.

Ning Yanan tried to pull back her hand, but Mo Xiyan was unwilling to let go, holding her hand tightly as they entered the elevator.

Once in the car, they headed towards the city center.

They eventually stopped in front of a very luxurious restaurant.

"This restaurant is most famous for its meals for expectant mothers, appetizing and nutritious. Remember to eat plenty, we can’t have the baby suffering from malnutrition in your belly."
