Chapter 296: Chapter 296 A Different Side
To tell the truth, ever since that person left, I’ve rarely shown my vulnerable side to others because I feel I have to keep up such a big family business. I must be strong, otherwise, everything might become even more complicated.
I’m afraid others might seize my weakness and then attack me.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been like this in front of others.
But Liu Zheng didn’t think what he was doing was anything special, on the contrary, he was very happy that he could be there for her.
"Alright, alright, don’t keep being so upset. Seeing you like this really makes me feel bad," he said.
"Besides, although the problem is indeed serious right now, if we calmly think about it and figure out a solution, we’re sure to handle it well."
"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it."
He also wanted Jia Xin’s mood to improve a bit.
Seeing her so distressed made him very troubled as well.
How could Jia Xin not understand such reasoning?
She has struggled in this circle for so many years and is clear about the resources.
At this moment, she nodded slightly, then spoke up.
"Okay, I got it."
To be honest, she wasn’t scared in her heart.
It’s just that when facing some issues, she might be unclear about what exactly she should do.
It might also be because there have been too many things lately, pressing down on her so much that she was finding it hard to breathe.
Soon, Liu Zheng took a cup of water and placed it in front of her, then said.
"Alright, alright, drink some water first, calm down properly."
The person in front of him then slowly picked up the cup and took a gentle sip.
"How about this, I’ll stay with you tonight, how does that sound? It should make your mood a bit better, right?"
It just so happened he didn’t have anything else to do.
Why not keep her company in sleep, it might even cheer her up.
After hearing these words, how could Jia Xin refuse? She immediately nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, no problem."
To be honest, having him by her side could indeed make her a lot happier.
Liu Zheng was initially thinking about how to help her solve this problem.
But after more careful thought, now wasn’t the time to ask about it.
Mainly because she had just recovered from a bad mood, and it wouldn’t be good to bring up her distress again.
So, he quickly left a kiss on her forehead.
"Alright, alright, no matter what happens, I’m here. You don’t need to be afraid of anything," he assured her.
After hearing this, her heart truly did feel warm.
Yes, she was no longer alone, unlike before when she had to bear everything by herself, to carry it all on her own.
Now she had him by her side.
With him now, she truly felt a lot more at ease in her heart.
At this moment, she nestled into Liu Zheng’s arms like a little cat.
It felt very secure to lie in his embrace, as if she could forget all her troubles.
This also made the person in front of her feel very happy.
Initially, she had a lot of internal struggles and difficulties.
Sometimes, she didn’t even know how to deal with everything, which was indeed a very complex problem for her.
If she had to adjust by herself, it might take a lot of time and energy.
To make her mood a little better.
But now, with Liu Zheng by her side, everything seemed a bit different.
She found she could adjust her mood very well, which, of course, was a good thing for her.
Maybe it was because she was too tired, and with everything that had happened recently, she fell asleep without realizing it.
"What would you like to eat later? Are you hungry?"
After Liu Zheng said this and saw no response from the person in his arms, he looked carefully and learned she had fallen asleep.
Then a smile crept onto his lips.
He knew if she felt so reassured by his presence she wouldn’t have fallen asleep so easily in his arms.
So he was very happy.
It was enough to show how much she trusted him, how much she relied on him.
Quickly, he carefully fetched a blanket and covered her.
Then he quietly stayed by her side.
To be honest, seeing her asleep, he thought she looked completely different from her usual fierce demeanor.
Usually, because of work and her status, she had to maintain a very fierce facade, to face everything with calm composure, but she was also just a girl.
But it had been a long time since she’d shown a vulnerable side since that person left.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have appeared as she just did.
But no matter what, since he had met her, he would definitely give her warmth and care.
After some time, the woman in front of him finally woke up, her eyes wide with disbelief. She looked at the blanket covering her and exclaimed.
"Oh my, when did I fall asleep? I didn’t even notice."
After hearing this, Liu Zheng simply stroked her head and said,
"Just now. If you’re still sleepy, you can keep sleeping for a bit. You seem very tired."
Hearing these words, the woman in front of him, like a little cat, instantly raised her hand and draped it around his neck, then lazily said,
"Alright, let’s not sleep here, let’s go home and sleep. It’s uncomfortable here, and besides, you wouldn’t be able to sleep either."
After hearing this, he couldn’t refuse. To be honest, the sofa was indeed a bit small, and he was feeling sleepy, too.
A good night’s sleep would ensure they had sufficient energy to deal with whatever came next.
"Alright, then let’s go home," he agreed.
