After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children

Ge Fu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing when she saw Lu Yao like this.

"You're the one crying." She glanced helplessly at the toolbox he was pressing down, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't paint anymore. I'm going to sleep."

Before Lu Yao could react, she turned and walked into the bedroom. Soon, the sound of washing could be heard.

What's happening here?

You Niang was extremely surprised and pulled him to the second floor. "Thank you so much today!"

"She looks like this..." Lu Yao wanted to ask in detail, but he heard hurried footsteps coming up the stairs.

The two looked up and saw Zheng Ruonan, who was soaked, running up with her skirt lifted.

"Ms. Zheng!"

She was about to go to the third floor, but was stopped by You Niang.

Zheng Ruonan ran over and asked, "Where's Xiangxiang?"

"Go to bed." You Niang sighed.

"Is this... the alarm has been lifted?" Zheng Ruonan hesitated.

"It's not that simple." You Niang shook her head and said, "Don't think about it until the painting is finished."

Zheng Ruonan frowned.

Lu Yao reacted, "You mean, will she be as sleepless and forgetful tomorrow as she is today?"

You Niang nodded.

"Then destroy the painting." Lu Yao said.

In an instant, You Niang and Zheng Ruonan looked over in shock.

What kind of werewolf is this!

Zheng Ruonan didn't know what Lu Yao did today, so she didn't take it seriously. However, You Niang was afraid that he would put his words into action, so she quickly said, "You can't do this. If you really do this, the princess will have a breakdown."

It’s just a painting, what’s the big deal?

Lu Yao didn't say it, but his expression showed that.

"That's not the case." You Niang said seriously.

The princess has always had a strong character, but only at times like this would she reveal the sensitivity and neurosis of an artist.

Lu Yao frowned, and somehow blurted out, "Then I... come again tomorrow?"

"Please." You Niang said without hesitation.

On the way back to Long Garden, Lu Yao felt a little out of shape.

Oh my god, how could there be such a weird woman? What's even weirder is that he actually thought she was kind of cute.

When it was light in the morning, Ge Fu got up. When You Niang came over, she found that Ge Fu was already holding a paintbrush and continuing her previous creation.

You Rong was following behind her and her expression suddenly changed when she saw this scene.

It's only half past five!

"You're here?" Ge Fu said without even turning her head: "Don't take my breakfast yet, I'm not hungry yet."

How did this happen?

You Rong looked at You Niang for help.

You Niang shook her head and whispered to her, "Go and call Miss Zheng."

Zheng Ruonan did not leave yesterday, but stayed overnight in the mansion.

You Rong's eyes lit up, she nodded and ran away.

Not long after, Zheng Ruonan came running over. Seeing that Ge Fu was immersed in her creation as she had said to You Rong, she quickly went forward to embrace her and said, "You didn't have breakfast, come and have breakfast with me."

"I'm not hungry yet, you eat first." Ge Fu refused to eat anything.

Zheng Ruonan spread her hands to You Niang. Under such circumstances, she didn't dare to use force on Xiang Xiang.

"Hasn't the eldest prince's call come through yet?" You Niang asked Tan Xi and Zhuang Jingjing who had also come over.

Tan Xi shook his head and nodded again, "The call didn't go through, but I contacted the palace and learned that the eldest prince had a conflict with His Majesty, and in a fit of anger he went abroad with his boyfriend."

"This is really..." Even someone as emotionally stable as You Niang couldn't help but curse in her heart.

When I'm not needed, I keep jumping around, but when I need it, it's nowhere to be seen.

"Go and call Mr. Lu from Longyuan." She ordered helplessly.

In fact, Lu Yao was hesitating whether to come over - he always felt that You Niang's words were a little unreliable. How could anyone forget to eat and sleep for days on end just for a painting? It was so unreal.

When Zhuang Jingjing went over to invite him, he came without hesitation.

Seeing Ge Fu busy in front of the painting, Lu Yao looked at You Niang and the others, asking with his eyes: What's going on?

"The princess hasn't even had breakfast yet." You Rong whispered.

Lu Yao frowned, "Not eating means she's not hungry. She'll eat naturally when she's hungry."

This……

You Niang looked at Lu Yao in disbelief. How could such a handsome man be so cruel?

Lu Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. After all, he was not a child. How could he need someone to coax him to eat when he was so old? He didn't believe it. Could a living adult starve himself to death?

The hour hand on the wall clock slowly climbed up.

At around eight or nine o'clock, Lu Yao was still calm and composed.

By eleven or twelve o'clock, Lu Yao was already getting restless.

By two or three o'clock, Ge Fu was still concentrating on painting. Her eyes were as bright and focused as at the beginning, but her face was becoming paler and paler, and her breath was getting weaker. Several times when she moved, her body was shaking.

Lu Yao stood up suddenly and walked forward to grab Ge Fu.

Meeting her gaze, his tone softened unconsciously, "Stop drawing and eat. It's almost three o'clock."

Ge Fu blinked, "It's so late? Let's eat."

Lu Yao didn't expect her to be so obedient and was stunned for a moment.

However, soon his brows furrowed, because Ge Fu said she was full after eating only half a bowl of rice - she even only picked up two pieces of vegetables with her chopsticks and did not touch the meat at all.

He almost laughed out of anger. Cats eat more than just this!

Before she stood up, he stood behind her and held her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Ge Fu raised her head and looked over with her clear eyes, filled with the coquettishness and dissatisfaction of a little girl.

The harsh words on his lips suddenly stopped coming out. Lu Yao cleared his throat and said, "You eat too little. Painting is also a physical job. If you eat less, you won't have the energy to paint."

"But I'm full." Ge Fu said seriously.

Lu Yao wanted to say something else, but You Niang grabbed him and shook her head at him.

When Ge Fu started to create again, You Niang whispered to Lu Yao, "We can't force the princess to eat. We've tried it before, and she would spit out everything she had eaten."

Lu Yao's scalp was numbing. How could there be such a difficult-to-serve young lady in this world?

I might as well starve to death!

Although he thought so, he couldn't bear to turn around and leave.

After more than ten days of this, Lu Yao could no longer sit still seeing Ge Fu's complexion getting worse and worse and his body losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You're just going to watch?" He looked at You Niang and the others in disbelief. "If she continues like this, she'll torture herself to death!"

"But we have no other choice." You Niang smiled bitterly and said, "You have seen it too. We have tried every possible way. But it is useless. The princess in this state will not be persuaded by any persuasion."

Lu Yao glanced at the painting that was already almost finished, and it took a lot of self-control not to go up and destroy it.

Fortunately, the turning point came soon.
