CHAPTER 721: CHAPTER 723: THE TRUTH FROM OVER A DECADE AGO (3)

Qin Yuan lay on the bed, her eyes closed, her hands desperately struggling.

Although it had happened over a decade ago, this despair made her feel as if she were experiencing it all over again.

It felt too real, too hopeless...

In the dream, Qin Yuan cried out loudly until, after who knows how many days, Mo Jiantao finally discovered the secret she was keeping.

His first thought, of course, was of that malicious woman who had just aborted his son!

Mo Jiantao immediately grabbed Sha Ling by the hand and confronted her.

With Sha Ling’s temper, how could she possibly let Mo Jiantao drag her around?

The two of them started fighting right there.

Later, Sha Ling suddenly started laughing like a madwoman, "You deserve it, you damn well deserve it!"

Qin Yuan crouched in the corner, not daring to make a sound.

...

When Mo Jiantao dreamt of this moment, his heart ached as if it were being torn apart.

Sha Ling’s maniacal laughter seemed clear in his mind, and for some reason, though he used to despise looking at her, now, seeing her again in the dream, he almost couldn’t help wanting to see her, to hold her.

Why was it like this, why did it feel this way!

Mo Jiantao felt a suffocating pain in his heart; suddenly, he snapped open his eyes, and when he came to his senses, his face was soaked.

A dull pain lingered in his chest.

This dream...

It was too real!

These were all scenes he had never experienced before.

Yet every single image felt as if he were personally in them.

It was unbearable.

Mo Jiantao quieted down for a while, then he threw off the covers and got out of bed.

Qin Yuan was still in her nightmare, looking desperate, in agony.

She whimpered and flailed her arms, crying, "Don’t, don’t..."

Don’t what?

Mo Jiantao, unable to contain his anger, pushed her, "Qin Yuan."

Qin Yuan was jolted awake, her eyes opening to see Mo Jiantao’s calm, stony face.

Tears still hung on Qin Yuan’s face; the nightmare hadn’t passed, and seeing Mo Jiantao, who looked older than he did in her dreams, she paused.

"What did you dream about?" Mo Jiantao suddenly asked.

Qin Yuan, still frightened, stuttered, "How did you know?"

"I heard it!" Mo Jiantao’s expression was cold, "I had a nightmare too, about you and Sha Ling."

Qin Yuan, terrified, looked up at him, her voice trembling, "What... what did you dream about?"

Mo Jiantao said, "Why don’t you tell me what you dreamt about?"

Qin Yuan’s heart raced, and for a moment, she dared not meet his gaze.

This had never happened before.

For so many years, Qin Yuan had always managed to stay composed and calm in front of Mo Jiantao, always gentle.

But now, what Mo Jiantao saw was... panic.

Mo Jiantao grew angry, pulled her up, and bellowed, "Speak! What did you dream about?"

Qin Yuan was startled by his shouting, gaining back some of her reason, she immediately said, "What’s wrong, Jiang Gao, did you have a nightmare? It’s me, Qin Yuan!"

Mo Jiantao of course knew she was Qin Yuan, but seeing her in such a panicked state, he suddenly thought of the Qin Yuan who had drugged his meals every day for years.

The Qin Yuan from a decade ago wasn’t much different from the Qin Yuan now, only back then, her gentleness was different from now.

Mo Jiantao suddenly felt uncomfortable, and said, "I dreamt that the person who made me infertile wasn’t Sha Ling."
