"Let go of me, don't touch me... no..."
Mu Shini opened her teary eyes wide, her gaze filled with panic in the pitch-black night. She pushed against the man's chest with her small hands, unable to muster the strength to cry for help, only able to lowly plead with him.
There wasn't a hint of light in the room. She couldn't see his face but could only feel a pair of deep, cold eyes like eagle's, piercing through her body like X-rays, making her shiver with fear!
"Take the medicine."
The man's devilishly low and husky voice rose by Mu Shini's ear.
"No... Ugh... It hurts..."
With a heart-wrenching scream, the sweating Mu Shini woke up abruptly.
Looking around, she realized it was her own room. She breathed a sigh of relief, got out of bed quickly, and poured herself a cup of warm water to drink.
Why would she have such a dream?
In the dream, she was having an intimate encounter with a strange man, making her blush and her heart race.
The scenes of the man forcefully changing positions were vivid in her memory, the rough gasping in her ears.
Dreams are a reflection of real-life desires unfulfilled. The backlog of suppressed wishes only release when night falls. Having such a dream out of nowhere, could it mean she is sexually repressed?
But she usually doesn't have such impulses!
Why would she have this kind of dream out of the blue?
However, why did she have a sliver of expectation for that mysterious man in the dream after waking up? Even feeling a rush of emotions toward him?
Dear god!
Mu Shini, are you crazy for feeling something for the man who violated you in your dream?
Shaking her head, Mu Shini took her clothes and went into the bathroom, using water to wash away her worries.
After bathing, she found her body covered with red spots, scaring her enough to rush downstairs to find her father. As she passed by her father's study, she heard talking inside, making her stop and listen with a pale face.
"No! We absolutely cannot let Nian Nian marry into the Bao Family! Despite the Bao Family's Second Young Master being a high-ranking officer, he's disabled and a violent man. How could I let Nian Nian suffer by marrying into the Bao Family? Who knows how long Bo Sishen will live! Nian Nian is only 18, how can she become a widow or live as one so young! I promised her mother I'd take good care of her."
"But right now, our Mu Family is in constant crisis. The Bao Family bringing up marriage between the families during this time is naturally to fulfill the marriage agreement."
"Even if we were willing to marry Nian Nian into the Bao Family, Nian Nian's grandfather wouldn't allow it!"
"Dad is old, he can't make the decision. Besides, this marriage was a promise her maternal grandfather made to the Bao Family. We're just fulfilling that promise. Moreover, the Bao Family wants to improve their luck, and Shini developed a strange illness two years ago; maybe this will get rid of the illness too."
The heavy sound of Mu Yanfu's voice and Wen Chunlan's kind persuasion came from the study.
They were overheard by Mu Shini standing by the door.
She pushed the door open, walked in, looked at her father and stepmother Wen Chunlan, her eyes red.
"Dad, please, take me to the hospital. I feel so awful..."
Mu Shini's body was covered with red spots, large patches of them. Her eyes were red as she knelt down, pleading enviously.
"Shini, it's not that we don't want to take you to the hospital, but you don't even know what happened to you two years ago; how can we help you?
I have brought doctors to the house frequently; which prominent doctor could figure out your strange condition? In my opinion, it seems like a sexually transmitted disease. If not for detecting that your hymen is intact, I would have thought it's syphilis!"
