Chapter 36 - A Loveless Marriage
Chapter 36 – A Loveless Marriage
Just a single and gentle touch and then she will withdraw instantly. Yeah…
But what if she wakes up?
The fear to lose whatever little she has was there but the desire to touch those soft pink lips lingered strongly inside her heart.
As she leaned down on the face of the girl she loves, Shen Youlin caressed her cheek gently.
Will you also leave me one day?
Her eyes didn't leave Mo Roulan's soft pink lips and she unconsciously licked her own lips.
Her desire grew stronger with each passing second and she leaned down more. Her heart pounded against her chest as if it will jump out in the next second. Just as she was a needle distance away from those soft luscious lips, a sound froze her whole body.
Knockk….
The sound came again and she instantly removed herself from Mo Roulan's body.
Someone was knocking on the door. Constantly.
Even Mo Roulan stirred because of the sound and opened her eyes a little and saw Shen Youlin sitting on the bedside.
"Youlin, Is there someone at the door?"
Her voice was still hoarse because of sleep. Shen Youlin whole body was rigid because of the sudden change in the situation and she said stiffly
"I will go and take a look. You can go back to sleep."
After this, she stood up from the bed and walked to the door.
Little Mo Chen stood outside the door with a pillow in his hands. His eyes were teary and his lips that were forming a pout trembled.
He looked as if he would cry the next second.
He stepped forward and pushed Shen Youlin a little bit to make some space for himself so that he can go inside the room.
Seeing Mo Roulan who was still looking at the door with a frown, he called out
"Jiejie "
Mo Roulan frowned when she heard his choked voice and was instantly fully awake.
"Little Chen, what happened?"
Mo Chen climbed the bed with his small legs and lied beside Mo Roulan hugging her waist. Just in a moment, she heard sniffles and felt a little wet on her clothes.
"Waa.. Jiejie.. Chenchen saw a terrible nightamare."
Mo Roulan sighed and patted his back gently.
"Oh… and here I thought that Chenchen has grown up enough to shout loudly and slam the door at his Jiejie."
"Waaa….Jiejie…. Chenchen is sorry."
Mo Roulan only felt a little funny at his behavior but she didn't dare to smile in fear of making her little brother angry. She gently coaxed him.
Still, standing at the doorway, Shen Youlin pouted.
Should she also try this method?
"Youlin, close the door and come to bed."
The bed was huge so there was no problem with the Little Mo Chen and both of them sleeping on it together.
But Shen Youlin again had a sleepless night.

Shen Villa
Wang Weimin was working on his laptop inside the study room. Suddenly two arms wrapped around his neck and a strong fragrance of perfume invaded his nostrils.
He frowned.
"Leave it now. It's so late. Let's go to bed."
Shen Zhilan whispered in her husband's ears seductively.
But Wang Weimin was not affected at all. He forcefully removed her hands from his neck and said
"I have an important meeting tomorrow. Don't wait for me. You should go and rest."
His voice was steady and emotionless.
Behind him, Shen Zhilan looked at him with red eyes. She swallowed the humiliation and turned to leave the study room when Wang Weimin suddenly called her.
A smile could not help but bloom on her beautiful lips hearing her name from his mouth but that disappeared soon when she heard his next words.
"You should go and meet Youlin once."
He was still working on the laptop as he said these words to her.
"Why?" She asked him nonchalantly.
At her question, Wang Weimin raised his eyebrow and looked at her weirdly.
"She is your daughter. You need a reason to see her?"
"Then she can also come and meet me. After all I'm her mother so she should come to meet me rather than me going to see her."
Wang Weimin shook his head and sighed. He actually knew where did the problem lie.
"Zhilan, can you for god sake leave your obsession with this perfectionism for once? At least for your children? She is your daughter and you behave with her even worse than a primary school teacher."
Wang Weimin's words only agitated Shen Zhilan more. Shen Youlin was her sore point.
Her daughter Yiling and son Weishang had always been perfect in everything just like she wanted her children to be. But Youlin…no matter how much she tried, she could never make her as she wanted.
Remembering all her failed attempts, she was filled with anger. She stomped towards her husband with red eyes and closed his laptop.
"You can see my behavior towards my daughter but you can't see your own behavior towards your wife. "
"You know what… you and she are the same. I poured all of my efforts into changing that girl but nothing worked. Here I gave everything to you; whatever you have ever dreamt of I put that on your feet. But what did you give me in return? Nothing. Nothing at all."
"I never saw even an ounce of love in your eyes for me. Why Weimin? Just why?"
Wang Weimin listened to everything with a cold face. His eyes never changed seeing her tears and Shen Zhilan also saw this.
She pulled his collar and shouted.
"I'm your wife. You are supposed to love me."
After that, she sobbed putting her head on his shoulder which Wang Weimin removed soon and freed his collar from her hands.
"Love was never in our deal when you bought me Zhilan. You yourself had said at that time you just want me to be your husband and handle the company. So don't expect something from me that I am never supposed to give you."
Saying this, Wang Weimin got up from his chair and left the study room leaving crying Wang Zhilan.
