It was the fourth night after the fight with Ren Shou.
The moon was hanging up in the sky as the servant's in the Ren Household gossiped among themselves.
"Hey, it's been the fourth day already yet Master had never visited Madam after that day. Do you think Madam would be kicked out soon?" One servant said. She had just finished cleaning the kitchen.
"Shh. Don't speak like that. What if Head Min heard you? She fired servants whom she caught speaking badly about the Lady." The other servant warned her.
"I know. I will keep quiet. It's just that the Lady had gone too far and hurt Master's pride. Who would be willing to marry her aside Master? Master is a good catch."
"Shh. Don't say anymore." The two servants quietly walked to their quarters.
A long while later, a shadow came down from the beam. That shadow looked at the direction of Li Amm's room. After contemplating for a few seconds, he moved and ran to the wall. That shadow jumped out of the wall of the Ren household and went to the direction of the Imperial Palace.

At the same night, Li Amm was peacefully slumbering when the window in her room moved slightly.
A short breeze blew into the room. Making Li Amm shivered in her sleep. The man who came in the room went nearer to her bed and pulled the blanket to her shoulders. He made sure that she was covered well. Li Amm who got warmed by the soft blanket hugged the blanket more. The man stared at her sleeping figure for a while.
But the man seemed not contented as he gently caress Li Amm's long hair.
As he kneeled beside her, his perfect jaw and tall nose was illuminated by the lampside near the bed. He was wearing his dark outfit. It was bit dusty and his face looked tired. Ren Shou's dark pool stared dazedly at Li Amm who had a peaceful expression on her face.
He had not seen her for four days. Those days seems like years. Ren Shou was busy in those four days that he even had no time to eat and sleep. But there was still a part in his mind and heart that were always occupied by the lady within his residence. Was she okay? Did she sleep and eat well? Was she bothered by those rumors?
Ren Shou had eyes and ear in the residence. So even he was far away he knew what was happening in his own house. He had heard of the report that Li Amm had visited his study room. But after visiting him twice, she stopped. Ren Shou was bothered that Li Amm stop caring for him and did not think of him anymore. He was afraid that she was already preparing her self to distance to him and accept everything that was happening and believe the rumors.
Even he was upset because of the last event, the thought of divorcing her or having a cold war with her never occurred to him. It was just.. he had to make use of this timing.
He knew the Emperor was watching him, and he knew that the Emperor was making every effort to bring his wangfei to the enemy side and betrayed him. He trusted his wangfei. But the less she knows, the less it would be dangerous. So Ren Shou had no choice but to use this chance to get out of the capital and gather his forces without Li Amm knowing. He just came here today as soon as the shadow guard left. Ping Bi was still protecting Li Amm in this household under another face of a servant.
The moment he had seen her, the stronger he felt the yearning of wanting to hold her.
Ren Shou's long lashes trembled as deep emotion reflected within those dark eyes. His hand that was gently feeling the smoothness of her hair unknowingly travelled to her cheeks. The moment he touched those cold cheeks and felt their softness, he could not help himself but rubbed his rough thumb on those milky skin. He felt like there was itchiness in his heart that he needed to quench. Until his dark orbs lingered in the sleeping beauty's lips. Those cherry lips that he dream many time were so captivating and seemed to invite him. Like he was bewitched, he slowly bow down until there was only a hair breath away between his lips and hers.
He wanted to taste it. He wanted to feel its softness. He wanted her.
And their lips met.
The itchiness in his heart grew. This light kiss could not satisfy his heart. His instinct kick in and the feeling of wanting to hold her controlled his mind.
Ren Shou took advantage of the sleeping Li Amm.
His red lips parted as he tasted her lips. The softness and the feeling of her lips fan the little fire inside of him. It grew and grew until he was gnawing on her lips. He kissed her deeply and wanted to envade her mouth. His tongue reached out and licked those cheery lips. Not satisfied by licking them, it invade her mouth and searched for its wife. Ren Shou was on fire while kissing the sleeping beauty.
Li Amm was dreaming she was back in her world.
She was wearing her usual office attire and went to the highest floor of LD building. As she sat on her chair, her assistant handed her the files that she needed to sign.
"What's for breakfast?" This was always her question whenever she came to office in the morning. The assistant was used to it. But the assitant answer brought her to a halt.
"You don't need breakfast anymore. You already died. Your just a soul that needed to find what her regret is." The confident answer of the assistant made Li Amm look at her.
"Congrats, you're not stuttering anymore. You always seem afraid of me. Guess, you gain courage now that I'm dead. And I disagree when you said souls don't need breakfast. Even in this dream right now, I am feeling hungry. "
"Then you have to find your regret soon so you can eat a full buffet." The assistant answered as she handed her a coffee.
"Yeah, of course, I need to live in peace without these crazy memory intact." Li Amm said as she drink her coffee. Then suddenly, she felt her lips was bitten.
Gasped.
Li Amm was so shock that she dropped her coffee. A big fish, bigger than the shark suddenly came out of the spilled coffee and bite her mouth.
'Agh!' She wanted to shout but that giant fish was blocking her mouth. The fish's tongue invade her mouth. Li Amm felt her soul was sucked in. She was too shocked. She don't know which one was more shocking, the fish kissing her with good technique or she feeling so good kissing a fish?
'Oh, god, I know this is a dream, please wake me up.'
So she did. She abruptly opened her eyes and met eye to eye with her assailant.
