Seeing him so calm and serious, Jiang Yuyan found him so distant as if she didn't know him. Lu Lijun sensed her presence in the room and turned to look at her, who was still in her office clothes and looked tired. 

"How are you feeling now?" she asked. 

Lu Lijun stared at her for a while and replied, "Better than before," he replied.

"You didn't have dinner, I heard. It will be here soon…"

"I am not hungry," he cut her off.

"You need to eat to get better fast," she replied. 

"Do you want me to get faster or do you want me to leave from here as soon as possible," he asked.

His remark surprised her as she didn't think like this. Seeing him so different suddenly she didn't know what to say. 

"Don't stand there and rest. I will be back after freshening up," Jiang Yuyan left as she closed the door, 'What happened to him again. He was fine in the morning.'

-----

In a while, Jiang Yuyan returned after having a bath and being ready in her home clothes. The butler brought the dinner for Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan instructed, "Have a seat."

Not willing to argue with an already tired woman, Lu Lijun sat in one chair around the coffee table in the room where the butler had arranged the dinner.

Lu Lijun looked at the food and it looked like the portion for the two people and he looked at Jiang Yuyan who sat in another chair. 

"You are yet to have dinner?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Hmm, I was busy working," she replied as the butler served the food for two.

Hearing it, the coldness in his eyes seemed to lessen a little and he said, "Can't you even eat on time?" 

She frowned, "You should be the last person to lecture me on it."

Lu Lijun kept quiet as he looked at the food in front of him. 

"Staring at it won't fill your stomach," she commented and was about to start eating. 

He looked at her and said firmly, "Feed me."

She gave him a questioning look, "I am sure your hands are fine now."

"No they are not," he said blatantly, not willing to back down. 

The butler silently made his way out of the room.

"Feed me or I won't eat," he said again. 

As he was sick, Jiang Yuyan finally picked up the spoon and started feeding him soup.

After having a few spoonfuls of soup, Lu Lijun asked, "Do I need to be always sick so you will listen to me and be with me?"

Jiang Yuyan's hand froze as she looked at the serious man in front of her, "Eat!" and started feeding him the porridge. Jiang Yuyan had no way to explain anything to him. 'Can't he just see I care for him? But if I say something, he will draw some other conclusion. Better to not say anything.'

Lu Lijun who was staring at her knew what she was trying to do but chose to be silent. After dinner she gave him medicines and was about to leave, he said, "You are sleeping with me."

It didn't surprise her but she didn't wish to sleep with him.

"You are fine now and if you need something, you can use this intercom to call for the servant."

He glared at her, "Don't challenge me, Yuyan."

He called her name which he rarely said. Why did he look so serious? Did something happen that I don't know?

As his cold-looking eyes gazed at her, Jiang Yuyan felt speechless.

"Are you coming here or do you want me to get you here?" he warned.

"Did something happen?" she finally asked.

"Do I need a reason to sleep with my wife?" he countered. 

Jiang Yuyan didn't wish to sleep with him and neither did she wish to see him like this. 

"I am tired. We will talk tomorrow. Rest well," Jiang Yuyan said as she turned to leave but Lu Lijun who was sitting in the bed strode towards her and lifted her in arms.

Lu Lijun what are you doing? You are weak already.

Lu Lijun didn't answer her and put her on the bed as the next moment he climbed in to stop her from getting up from the bed as he lay on top of her. 

"Lu Lijun...Umm...."

Lu Lijun sealed her lips and kissed her wildly. Jiang Yuyan was now sure that something had happened to provoke him.

He sucked and nibbled her lips ferociously as he pinned her hand on either side that Jiang Yuyan couldn't even move, neither did she try to. She knew, the more she resisted, the more he would use his strength. 

He pried open her mouth and slid his tongue in her cavern only to turn her breathless as his grip tightened around her wrist. Jiang Yuyan was used to it and felt nothing different as she waited for him to stop and let his anger calm down.

After what felt like an eternity to Jiang Yuyan, he finally stopped her hot breath brushing against her skin. She was trying to catch her breath as Lu Lijung stared at her. Once she opened her hazy eyes, she saw him staring at her closely as his eyes looked darker with the flood of coldness. 

"Don't ever think about meeting any man. You are my wife and I don't allow you to," his words were full of warning as Jiang Yuyan tried to think what he meant.

'Meeting a man? Did someone tell him that I agreed to meet that man?' she thought and heard him again, "Understood?"

Jiang Yuyan closed her eyes and breathed deeply, "I am tired Lu Lijun. I need to sleep." She didn't wish to agree to his demand.

Lu Lijun could see she was tired and let her go by moving to sleep on her side. Before she could even think about getting out of the bed, Lu Lijun circled his hand around her waist and held her closer, "Sleep!"

Jiang Yuyan didn't dare get out of the bed as he already sounded cold and didn't wish to provoke him. Facing the ceiling she quietly closed her eyes while Lu Lijun stared at her face while sleeping on his one side.

He remembered the moment when his mother called him to ask about his whereabouts. Through the call, he heard familiar voices and enquired about it.  Ning Jiahui told them they were Jiang Yuyan's parents and were talking to his Grandfather. She even told him that her parents said Jiang Yuyan agreed to meet a guy. 

He felt like a sharp knife pierced through his heart and went silent. It was so unexpected for him. He was angry but didn't know how to take that anger out. At this moment he had lost to his anger and controlled himself or he was worried he might hurt her. However he was, when it came to Jiang Yuyan, that last thread of rationality was always there inside him which always stopped him from hurting her by doing something wrong with her.

Lu Lijun swallowed all the anger seeing her and decided to not trouble her more. But he didn't know how to stop her from going away from him and how he could make her feel the same way that she felt for his brother.

He looked helpless and scared to lose her.
