"That's terrible!" Liu Chun shot to his feet. "How could you let your wife be bullied?"
"I..." Zhou Hengyang's words got stuck in his throat, his gaze turning chilly. He pinched his nose bridge in frustration. He thought of Su Wen's haphazard sleeping position, and a fire roared to life in his heart.
It had only been a little more than a day since he left the village. He had barely spoken to her in the time he took to solve her problem. How could such a big change occur as soon as he left?
Worse still was the figure that haunted him at night...
That person would bug him in his dreams, putting him ill at ease.

Although they had done their best, the food they prepared was so bland that it made Su Wen lose her appetite.
