Chapter 19 - Six Months Time Period

Liwei was looking at Xie Ming with a gentle look on his face. Though she was looking pale and sickly but right now she was looking more attractive and charming.

He cannot believe that he agreed to give their relationship a chance when he was so adamant to want a divorce.

Her lips were dry and chapped but their taste was sweet and tempting. Liwei leaned in again to kiss those pink rosy lips but she put a hand on his chest and pushed him away.

He looked at her in bewilderment and asked "Why".

She sighed seeing his glistening eyes whose brightness dimmed due to her refusal, "I am tired. You go to your room and sleep. I also want to sleep." after saying she pushed him gently.

He looked at her and stubbornly said, "I will sleep here tonight."

Xie Ming was shocked to hear his bold words and said, " We just decided to give our relationship a chance. And until we clearly understand each other and want to spend our life with each other, we will not sleep with each other." she shyly replied.

She was embarrassed because of his bold words. Though she came to this modern world but from her heart, she was still the same old Zhao Ming. She can't change her reasoning overnight.

Liwei became frustrated and wondered, ' it would be better if she was like before. At least he won't need to do all this just to spend sleep with her.'

He turned to her and looked into her eyes intently and said," First of all, I am your husband. And it is just right that we sleep in the same room. We don't sleep together earlier because our feelings were not mutual but now we both agree right?"

" We already have a marriage certificate. We are not doing anything immoral. ". After a pause, he continued, " and you're also sick. You just woke up from the nightmare. If you slept alone, who will take care of you. What if you need anything in the middle of the night or had another nightmare. Then who would take care of you? "

After completing his words, he intently looked at her waiting for her answer. He was determined to not take ' NO' as an answer.

He was Jin Liwei. The most handsome man in the city and the youngest CEO in the country. Girls are dying to get into his bed and his wife was driving him out of the room.

She looked at him, and pondered about his words and then answered," hmm. I think you're right. I.. Don't want to be alone tonight. "she said with her head down.

She was afraid that she may get another nightmare and it would be too miserable for her to be alone at that moment.

She raised her head and looked into his eyes and said, " Moreover, we're married, we aren't doing anything immoral in this. It's right for us to share a room. Okay. Then, we'll sleep together."

When she said this, his eyes became brighter and was glistening like the freshwater of the river.

But her next words made his brightness in eyes go away instantly.

" But you will sleep on another corner of the bed and you will not touch me until the next six months. After six months we will decide the status of our relationship, whether we want a divorce or not."

At this, he looks at her with puppy eyes, " Why? And why consider after six months. We can just live like this. And why not touching. It's not right. We're married Ming."

" Liwei, yesterday we want to divorce each other and now we don't. We are changing our decisions immediately. It could be possible that we might not want to stay together after some time. So we will take these six months as a test period. And see if we can work this relationship or not. And in this period, it's right for you to not touch me. Okay? "

When she said this, his expressions became complex and frowned, "but it's not fair Ming. But how can we test out our relationship if we don't do other things. Ahem...To work out a relationship, a couple should also be compatible with other things."

" Xie Ming in every relationship physical intimacy is very important because that is what makes them different from others, otherwise weren't they be only friends who live in the same room. And physical intimacy will make us closer. Don't you think? " he said while looking at her.

He was trying to persuade her with his careful and eloquent words.

She looked at him and chuckled at his words.

" Eh? Physical intimacy is indeed important. But before that, we should understand each other and try to establish a firm relationship with each other. We will just go with the flow and see where it goes."

" But intimacy should be consensual not only one-sided. And if one wants to separate after six months, we will comply with the rule. And I don't want any further discussion over this topic. If you don't agree then go to sleep in your room. "

With that, she showed him the way to the door with her hands.

When he heard this, he instantly shook his head and said," no-no, I agree. " he smirked inwardly after saying his words.

' We can establish our relationship then... Ahem. It means I don't need to wait for six months. Xie Ming, you just wait. I will prove to you that we can also live just like any other couple.'

After this, they went to sleep. Liwei somehow managed to coax her to sleep while just holding her hands. And she hesitantly agreed.

When she agreed he smirked inwardly. Hah. She is so naive about these things.

He held her hand tightly as he laid on his back in one corner of the bed and Xie Ming on the other corner.

He was glad that she agreed to sleep while just holding hands. This was the first step in any relationship. He was not only holding her hand but also sleeping while holding them.
