The man held the girl in his arms and patted her face and pinched her nose. He threatened, “If you don’t get up, I’ll eat all your chicken and meat!”
The old lady’s heart trembled. Was this how all rich men coaxed their wives?
Bu Yaolian smacked her lips, but she didn’t open her eyes. She seemed to be saying something, but her voice was too soft for the old lady to hear.
The handsome man smiled. “Drink some chicken soup before you sleep. Even if you don’t want to live anymore, you can’t be a hungry ghost. Even prisoners eat their fill before they’re sent on their way.”
The old lady’s face turned ugly. It’s the new year. What are you talking about?
How could he curse his wife like that?
“My lord… you… you can’t say that. She’s just a little weak. She’ll live a long time.”
Su Shenfan glanced at her coldly. The old lady retreated to a corner in fear and protected Wang Cai behind her, not daring to speak again.
The man was beautiful, but he was too fierce. A girl like a delicate flower was following him. No wonder she had been ruined to this extent.
Seeing that Bu Yaolian wasn’t waking up, a strange light flashed in Su Shenfan’s eyes. He let go of her and brought the dishes to the stove bed.
He took a bowl of chicken and put it under Bu Yaolian’s nose. “Smell it… Smell it. Doesn’t it smell especially good? You can usually eat two chickens; a big hen fed on organic vegetables will make you lively.”
Then, he picked up the meat. “Smell it. It has a unique mountain fragrance. It’s fragrant and tender. It’s the suckling pig that you keep thinking about.”
The old lady and Wang Cai felt like they were seeing a ghost when they saw the cold and tough man tempting the sleeping lady like he was playing with a puppy.
The man looked scary and intimidating, but at that moment, he was like a naughty child.
How contradictory.
The woman in his arms seemed to be tempted by the aroma of food. She smacked her lips. “Shao… Shao Zun, I want to sleep.”
“If you don’t get up, I’ll throw away all this food. This is all the food in the old lady’s house. Prepare to starve for another ten days or half a month,” Su Shenfan said coldly.
Bu Yaolian only smelled the tempting fragrance of food, which made her even hungrier.
She opened her eyes. “Shao Zun, I really can’t open my eyes. I’m so tired.”
“Be good. Have some soup before you sleep.” Su Shenfan pinched her cheek to wake her up.
Bu Yaolian had no choice but to open her eyes and look at Su Shenfan in a daze. She even yawned.
Su Shenfan poured a bowl of chicken soup for her. “Drink it.”
Bu Yaolian couldn’t stop when the chicken soup touched her lips. She was indeed too hungry. They had been in the forest for two days and two nights, eating hard rations.
She actually hadn’t eaten at all.
The chicken had been stewed with utmost care. It was delicious.
After Bu Yaolian had a taste, she drank the entire bowl of chicken soup.
She woke up.
When she saw the bowl of chicken on the bed, she reached out to take it, only to discover that her hands were weak.
“Shao… Shao Zun, what’s wrong with me?” She didn’t know what was going on.
She looked around and realized that they were in a rundown house. Even the windows were broken and covered in rags.
