Ming Rusheng loosened the grip on the pencil and sat quietly as he felt her caressing his hand. "Doctor said soon it will be fine. You should not stress your brain more. Hang in there for some more time," she said and he nodded slightly like an obedient kid.

"What is this design? Doesn't seem like a project in the company," Lu Lian asked, once he calmed down.

"It was meant to be a gift for someone," He replied.

"May I ask who?"

"You don't need to know," he returned to his cold self.

"Ah, okay."

He retreated his hand from her hold and she understood it was her time to move a little away from him. She stood up straight and said, "You can tell me what you plan in this design and I will help you make it the way you want."

Ming Rusheng immediately picked up a magazine on the table and put it on that blueprint over that design. "I don't need anyone's help."

"I know, you are the best in the industry and I still lack a lot," she said.

Ming Rusheng ignored what she said and asked, "Why are you here?"

"To take care of you," she replied.

Ming Rusheng stood up as he sighed deeply and looked at her, "I am not a patient now. No need for you to do it. We are not in the hospital. Also, there is no reason for you to be here."

"You are the reason," she countered boldly as she stared back into his cold eyes.

Ming Rusheng felt speechless and she had a slight smirk on her lips, "You can't stop me from taking care of my husband. I told you that in the hospital too."

"You should not push me to the limit of my patience," he warned coldly.

"I am not here for that either. You can keep your patience in check on your own. I heard you are yet to have a bath. Let me help you. Your one hand is still in the cast, you might need help in taking off your shirt and drying your hair."

He inhaled and exhaled deeply, trying to control himself from getting annoyed and warned, "Last warning. Get out of my room or…."

"Or what?" she interrupted him and kept staring into his eyes.

"You really like to play this husband-wife game, isn't it?" He said under his greeted teeth and held her hand, "Let me help have a bath then," and took her towards the bathroom even before she could react.

The door of that lavish bathroom opened with a force as he pushed it while dragging the woman with him inside and the next moment she was standing under the shower place with him.

She finally got the chance to react when this man with immense strength dragged her in a hurry. "I don't mean it like this. I meant…."

"Take off my shirt," he ordered coldly as he didn't look affected by her hesitant look.

Lu Lian didn't mean to show her weak side to him and always acted bold and strong to be able to be by his side so he won't be able to push her away but now she couldn't hide it. She looked at his shirt's buttons and then looked at him, not knowing what to do. She wouldn't have minded it if it was some other time and they were alone somewhere else and not in his home. Moreover, he still didn't remember her.

"Someone might come to your room and it won't look good if we…."

Ming took a step closer to her that interrupted her from talking and she took a step back as she heard him, "Why? Don't you want to help your husband now? Do you want me to tell you about the wife's duty, my dear wife?"

She looked at his hand, "This cast will be wet. Let me cover it so…"

"Excuses, huh? Are you scared of your husband now?" he asked and moved closer to her.

She scoffed, "Scared, who? You are mistaken," she said, acting confidently and thought, 'Damn, why am I even scared? He is the one I love. It is fine. I am one independent and strong woman. I am not scared of these things,' she tried to console herself and said again, "I am just worried about your hand…"

The next moment Ming Rusheng removed the belt around his neck that was meant to hold his hand folded in the elbow.

"What are you doing?" she asked, "Your hand…"

"It's fine now," he said and threw that belt away. He looked at his casted arm and said, "I will remove it after we have a bath."

"We?" she asked, "I already had a bath. I will just help you with taking off your shirt."

He leaned closer to her as his hand moved to her back, "I would also like to help you take off your dress."

The next moment the water from the shower poured on them as Ming Rusheng had turned on the shower by rotating the knob on the wall behind Lu Lian.

Feeling water pouring down, she tried to move away to get out of it but Ming Rusheng held her hand and pulled her back as he held her closer to him under the shower.

She tried to wipe off the water flowing down her face and said, "My dress, it's wet," she frowned, "I didn't bring clothes. What others will think when they see me like this."

"You can borrow my shirt. It will look good on you," he said.

Lu Lian stared at him as she suddenly turned calm. It brought back the memories from Mister Wong's home when she wore his shirt. 'I wish he could still remember it.'

He looked at her mockingly, "You are yet to take my shirt off. You see, my hand is hurt."

Lu Lian got back to her senses, 'Just relax. He is just testing me. Even if he does something, in the end, we will be together.'

Under the shower, she started to unbutton his shirt as he allowed her to move back so she could do it easily. His cold sight turned softer as he looked at her drenched in the water and her clothes took the shape of her curvy body. He couldn't take his eyes off of her and didn't have patience left. She undid those buttons one by one. When the last two buttons were left, he just pulled the sides of his shirt making those buttons fall on the bathroom floor.

In shock, she raised her head to look at him only to find him staring back at her as his eyes showed he was ready to devour her.

"I lost my memories but my senses are alive. If you think I am that good to let go of a pretty woman after she seduced me, then you are mistaken. You need to know what it means to be my wife," he said and she could only gulp as that warning didn't look like any simple one. He was always so intimidating with his actions but now he looked even scarier.
