Chapter 2101: 2101

Shen Manting does not know when she fell asleep . In her state of daze, she could feel Shen Luo’an helping her shower .

He then made love to her again, waking her from her state of delirium – and again, mercilessly .

He only stopped in the latter half of the night .

Shen Manting finally managed to catch some sleep but she had a horrifying nightmare .

In her dreams, Shen Luo’an reeked of alcohol and was roughly and viciously ripping up her clothes to pieces as he pinned her down on top of the bathroom sink .

He brought her to the bottom of the abyss over and over again . The searing pain made her heart wrench .

The dream felt too real .

Shen Manting’s heart ached and she could not help but grab hold of him and cry as she pleaded, “Brother, no…”

Yet, he remained indifferent .

What awaited her was inhumane abuse, endless days of despair and his savagery .

“Please, no . Don’t do this to me . No…” she screeched .

…

Shen Manting seemed like she was having nightmares again .

Shen Luo’an could hear her thrashing her arms and whimpering softly beside him .

By the time he opened his eyes, Shen Manting’s face was already wet with tears .

Shen Luo’an reached over and patted her gently . “Don’t be afraid, Manting . Don’t be afraid,” he said softly in an attempt to comfort her .

However, in the next moment, he could clearly hear her call out, “Brother, no…”

Shen Luo’an instantly felt as if his heart was in his mouth and alarm bells began to ring .

He felt as if he had just been doused with a pail of cold water and was drenched from head to toe .

Shen Luo’an reached out to her anxiously and sat her up before beginning to shake her awake . “Manting, wake up!” he said urgently .

Perhaps he was shaking her rather forcefully because Shen Manting immediately opened her eyes .

Shen Manting was slightly dazed when she opened her eyes to darkness, what surrounded her was complete darkness .

Nonetheless, Shen Luo’an had his arms around her and was hugging her rather tightly .

“Dear…” Shen Manting called out and sounding slightly lost and uncertain .

Shen Luo’an’s tense muscles instantly relaxed .

By the time he loosened up, his back was already coated with a thin layer of sweat .

“Yes, everything’s ok . It was just a nightmare, you were only having a nightmare,” Shen Luo’an said as he patted her gently . “Don’t be afraid . I’m here,” he said softly .

Shen Manting was genuinely afraid .

Tears immediately streamed down her cheeks as she hugged him and said, “Dear, I dreamt of something extremely terrifying just now . ”

“Don’t be afraid . Dreams are not real,” said Shen Luo’an .

“Alright,” Shen Manting replied . However, she was visibly shaken . “Dreams are the opposite of reality . You wouldn’t ever treat me like that,” she said .

Shen Luo’an froze when he heard this .

He felt as if a hand was wringing his heart; he was feeling extremely choked by the extreme remorse and guilt he felt .

Shen Luo’an tightened his arms around Shen Manting silently and buried his face into the nape of her neck .

His breath tickled her and flinched before she reproached him shyly, “Dear, I’m really tired . ”

“Alright,” Shen Luo’an replied in a deep but quiet voice . “Get some sleep,” he said .

Shen Manting nodded as she was feeling a lot calmer .

She reached over and wrapped her arms around his narrow waist before proclaiming, “Dear, I feel so blessed . ”

Her sudden words crashed down mercilessly on his heart like a thousand-pound weight .

When Shen Manting lifted her head up, Shen Luo’an planted a gentle kiss on the corner of her eye .

“Me too . I feel so blessed to have you by my side,” he whispered .

Shen Manting’s smile broadened and she fell into a deep slumber .

Her arms remained coiled around his waist, beneath the blanket and her breathing gradually steadied .

Shen Manting did not notice the tears that trickled out from the corner of Shen Luo’an’s eyes .

The night was silent and the room was completely dark .

Shen Luo’an held Shen Manting in his arms for a very long time before softly whimpering, “I’m sorry . ”
