At seven o'clock in the evening, the dining table was filled with delicious dishes. Rafas had Mike check on the situation, and that Little Woman was indeed stubbornly refusing to come in for dinner.
Rafas sat alone at the dining table, enjoying the feast, completely unaware that Wushuang was currently suffering from hunger pangs. She had not eaten since she had been sleeping all afternoon. After her serious illness, she had starved herself for six or seven days without a single grain of rice, which had already damaged her stomach. Although she had been receiving nutritional injections daily during her illness, now that she was recovering, she could hardly withstand any strain.
She was like a fragile porcelain doll, easily toppled and shattered if not handled carefully.
At nine o'clock, Rafas emerged from the bathroom feeling refreshed. He specifically checked the clock to see what that woman was doing; why wasn't she coming in to eat?
After changing into clean clothes, Mike informed him that she was still sitting on a bench by the lake. This troublesome little sprite, did she really intend to sit there all night?
Rafas slowly approached her and found that she was indeed sitting motionless against the bench. He walked over and looked at her for two seconds before suddenly pulling apart her arms that were wrapped around her knees, revealing her pale face in a state of shock.
"Baby, wake up! What happened to you?" Rafas furrowed his brow and immediately took out his phone to call Shouya, asking him to come over right away before he picked her up and rushed back to the room.
The garden at night was heavy with dew. Wushuang had been sitting by the lake for several hours; her arms were cold and her lips slightly purple. Rafas couldn't understand what was wrong with her. After Shouya examined her thoroughly and packed away his instruments, he lifted the blanket and prepared to carry her away.
"Bastard! What are you doing? Put her down right now!" Rafas shouted angrily. Did he not care about him at all? How could he try to take his woman away right in front of him?
"Who is the real bastard here? Knowing full well that Wushuang's body hasn't recovered yet, you treat her like this and let her starve until she faints. Are you even a man?" Shouya retorted loudly, not backing down.
Fainting from hunger? Rafas found it hard to believe; it was just missing one or two meals—could it really lead to fainting? Was this guy exaggerating?
Seeing Rafas's disbelieving expression made Shouya furious. Ignoring his objections, he insisted on carrying Wushuang away. If Wushuang stayed here any longer, he couldn't imagine what further torment Rafas would inflict on her.
"I'll say it one last time: put her down!" Mike rushed in after hearing Rafas's furious shout. Seeing both sides at a standstill, he hesitated to intervene and stepped back.
"Ugh... it hurts... it hurts..." Amidst their heated standoff, Yan Wushuang let out a weak moan, prompting Shouya to lay her back down on the bed and press down on her acupoint to help her regain consciousness.
Rafas instructed Mike to have food sent up from the kitchen immediately, especially the chocolate cheesecake that she had been craving all afternoon. Watching her unconscious form clutching her abdomen made him wonder if she was truly starving.
Shouya quickly administered a nutritional injection while gently calling out her name in an effort to wake her up. Relying solely on medication for necessary nutrients would be insufficient for her recovery.
"Wushuang has developed several health issues after that serious illness. After so many days without food, her stomach is very fragile; she can't go hungry nor can she eat too much at once. Her constitution is much weaker than normal people’s; any slight carelessness could easily make her sick. If you can't take care of her, then hand her over to me!" Shouya said as he watched Wushuang in pain, turning his back to Rafas as he expressed his true feelings.
Rafas sat silently on the sofa with sharp eyes fixed on the woman in bed. He didn't say a word, but his answer was clear: unless he grew tired of having his woman around, there was no way he would let anyone take her away!
In a daze, Yan Wushuang heard faint voices and slowly opened her thick eyelashes. When she recognized who was sitting beside her, she excitedly grabbed his hand and exclaimed, "Brother Shouya, you finally came!"
"Wushuang, why aren't you eating? Don't you know your body can't handle this? You can't stay here anymore, do you understand?" Shouya looked at her with concern, his large hand tightly holding hers, speaking to her in an older brother's tone.
Yan Wushuang turned her head slightly, feeling wronged as she noticed the person sitting on the sofa. Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, "It's him who won't let me eat. He's the Big Bad Guy. Brother Shouya, take me away. I don't want to stay here at all. If you don't come to see me tonight, maybe you won't see me tomorrow!"
Listening to Wushuang's complaint, Shouya turned his stern gaze toward Rafas on the sofa. He didn't understand what Rafas was doing. Was he still holding a grudge over that incident in Japan? Wushuang had suffered so much because of it; what more did he want?
Wushuang looked at him, waiting for a response, then glanced at the man on the sofa. Had she done something wrong? Why were they all treating her so coldly?
"Woo... then can I just leave by myself?" In a fit of defiance, she pushed Shouya away and ran barefoot off the bed.
"Wushuang, what's wrong? Where are you going at this hour?" Shouya couldn't figure out what she was thinking, but before she could take a few steps, familiar arms wrapped around her.
She was still too naive to think she could leave in front of him. Rafas carried her back to the big bed. A servant pushed in a cart filled with delicious food, and the enticing aroma made Yan Wushuang feel even hungrier. Suddenly, her stomach cramped painfully, twisting her face into a pale grimace as she tightly grasped Rafas's arm, biting her lip to endure the excruciating pain.
Rafas didn't pull his arm away; he let her grip it tightly while observing the beads of sweat forming on her pale and twisted face. His brows furrowed in concern.
Despite being in such pain, she stubbornly wanted to defy him. Hadn't she forgotten all her memories? Why hadn't she forgotten this stubbornness?
Shouya quickly prepared a painkiller injection for her; if this continued, she would truly starve. He scooped up a bowl of bird's nest porridge for her—she needed food more than anything right now.
"Wushuang, come drink this bowl of bird's nest porridge; it's not hot anymore and is just right for eating." He brought a spoonful to her lips, but after glancing at it, she tightly shut her mouth and buried her face in the blanket.
"I won't eat! I refuse to eat his food; it's disgusting! I don't want it at all!" She clearly remembered their conversation from noon; she'd rather starve than eat his food.
Rafas's face darkened significantly as he pulled her out from under the blanket. With angry eyes, he warned her, "Let me tell you, even your body belongs to me. If you have the guts to say again that you won't eat my food, I'll throw you into Serpent's Den to feed the snakes!"
Shouya awkwardly held the bowl of porridge in his hands. After thinking for a moment, he set it down and took out his wallet from his pants pocket. He pulled out all the cash inside and placed it on Yan Wushuang's bedside table: "Wushuang, consider those foods as mine since I bought them. So will you eat my food?"
Yan Wushuang looked at the stack of money on the bedside table and then at the man before her who seemed ready to skin her alive. She was really hungry; since these things were bought by Brother Shouya now, what reason did she have not to eat?
"I'll eat! Brother Shouya's food is the most delicious!" With that, she pushed the man in front of her aside and picked up the bowl of bird's nest porridge, eating it eagerly.
Shouya smiled as he pushed the food cart closer to her, letting her choose whatever she liked. Wushuang had missed two meals already; her stomach was protesting loudly. She spotted a piece of cake that she'd wanted to eat earlier that afternoon but had been denied by that man. Now that everything was Brother Shouya's, what could he possibly say?
"Eat slowly; don't rush. It's all yours; no one is competing with you!" Seeing how hurriedly she was eating made it clear that she was truly starving.
Yan Wushuang was too busy eating to respond to him; she simply nodded lightly with her mouth full of cheesecake.
Rafas looked at them with an unhappy expression until Yan Wushuang said she was full. He immediately ordered Shouya to leave, telling him to get out right away!
"Brother Shouya, remember to come by tomorrow to pay me. Otherwise, I might starve again tomorrow, or you could just take me away tonight," Wushuang said anxiously, not knowing what that man would do to torment her tomorrow.
"Don't worry, the money I gave you earlier is enough for you to eat here for a month. I want to take you away too, but... I'll come back tomorrow. Just rest early tonight, okay?" He certainly wanted to take Wushuang away, but if that man really agreed, it would be a miracle.
Yan Wushuang nodded helplessly, watching his departing figure, her heart trembling as she feared what more terrifying things that man might do to scare her.
The room was suddenly left with just the two of them. He clapped his hands, and Mike immediately walked in from outside, respectfully saying, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Have the maid come and help her bathe." A few simple words conveyed everything.
"Yes..." After Mike left, two maids who appeared to be in their twenties knocked on the door and entered. They worked together; one filled the bathtub with water while the other found clothes and tidied her hair. Soon, Yan Wushuang was being attended to as she lay in the bathtub.
The maid personally massaged her in the tub, making her feel an incessant itch all over. Laughter echoed in the bathroom, causing the man half-lying on the bed in his nightgown to think about her delicate skin, which instantly triggered a reaction.
"Okay, okay, I want to get up!" Yan Wushuang felt that soaking in the tub for too long made her heart race and her breathing feel a bit labored.
The maid immediately helped her up, dried her hair, and changed her into clean clothes. With that, they completed their task for the night and quickly exited the room.
Yan Wushuang walked out a bit breathless. Rafas looked at her beautiful figure after bathing; he had already been somewhat affected. Seeing her alluring appearance now made him swallow hard and suddenly feel very thirsty. In a hoarse voice, he commanded her, "Baby, come here!"
