Love You for the Rest of My Life

Chapter 1191: I’m Afraid to Sleep Alone

Mingchen raised an eyebrow, his cool, red lips slightly pursed, his deep eyes shifted slightly, landing on her hand holding his. He stared for two seconds, then looked at her again and uttered two words, "Reason."

Nangong Ran broke out in a sweat. Reason, of course, is to not let you bother my third brother!

But she dared not say it outright, so she said, "I’m scared to sleep alone."

That reason should be enough, right?

It’s normal for a girl to be afraid of the dark and such.

"Who did you sleep with every night before?" Mingchen couldn’t help but want to laugh. This reason was really absurd.

"I slept with Nangong Xiao," Nangong Ran answered. "I slept with Xiaoxiao every night."

Mingchen: "..."

This explanation really left him speechless, too absurd. Sleeping with a five-year-old kid and you’re not scared?

This logic is really...

"What about when Nangong Xiao wasn’t there?" Mingchen asked again. Nangong Xiao had gone on a trip with her grandmother not too long ago.

"I slept with Nangong Lin," Nangong Ran replied cheerfully.

If you can’t sleep with your sister, you can sleep with your older sister, right, right?

Mingchen was defeated by her, he couldn’t help but curl his lips, and leisurely said, "Then you can also go find Nangong Lin to sleep with now."

Nangong Ran: "..."

Mingchen, your damn attitude, making such a fuss over sleeping with you, you think I really want to sleep with you? Acting all high and mighty!

If it weren’t for my good temper, or for my third brother, I’d really feel like slapping you across the face!

Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re handsome.

When I get angry, even I am scared of myself!!

Although that’s what she thought, Nangong Ran dared not say it. Although Mingchen seemed to be the kindest and most amiable of the three brothers, the innate cold and iron-blooded nature of a military man, that decisive demeanor, still made her a bit afraid of him.

Nangong Ran forcibly swallowed these words, lowered her eyes pitifully, and said, "But my sister Ling must already be asleep, it’s so late, it wouldn’t be good to disturb her."

As Nangong Ran spoke, she looked up sincerely at Mingchen, bit her lip, acted spoiled, and pleaded, "Brother, my dear brother, just sleep with me tonight, okay?"

Hearing Nangong Ran’s coquettish words, Mingchen was stunned and nearly burst out laughing.

This girl, why does what she say sound so awkward?

It’s like those lines from shady films where the woman seduces a man?

Mingchen cleared his throat twice, raised his eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on his resolute face, and he said in quite a serious manner, "Nangong Ran, a man and a woman alone together, and you want me to sleep on the couch?"

Nangong Ran widened her eyes, totally confused, and it took her a moment to realize that this meant he agreed to stay here, yay!

But what did he mean by not sleeping on the couch?

Nangong Ran blinked and asked weakly, "Then, where do you want to sleep?"

"Of course, the bed." Mingchen pointed grandly at the bed and sat on it, swinging his legs and lying down directly.

Nangong Ran: "..."

She had no objection to him sleeping on the bed, but it felt like a bit much pressure.

After thinking about it, Nangong Ran nobly said, "Okay then, you sleep on the bed, and I’ll roll over to the couch. Thanks, brother."

After saying that, she quickly tried to run to the couch, only to be grabbed by Mingchen.
