Ji Qingyu nestled in Su Qinghe's arms, having stopped crying, but still occasionally letting out a soft sob, which, though faint, was still clearly audible on the night street.
"You've been following me the whole time?" After a long while, Ji Qingyu asked softly.
"Okay!" Su Qinghe nodded.
"Why?" He tried to look up at Su Qinghe's expression, but bumped into her chin!
"Ouch!" Su Qinghe cried out in pain, looking down at him with unfriendly eyes. "You did that on purpose, didn't you!"
"No! I'm sorry!" Ji Qingyu shrank back and continued the previous topic.
"You still haven't answered me. You're clearly angry, so why are you following me?"
Su Qinghe bounced the person around in her arms for a while, but her arms still felt uncomfortable after holding the person in one position for so long, so she simply carried the person on her shoulder like a child.
"Ah! What are you doing!"
Ji Qingyu was so startled that she flailed her limbs, feeling as if she was about to fall to the ground. She quickly grabbed Su Qinghe's neck with both hands and wrapped her legs around her waist.
"Let go!" Su Qinghe felt a tightness around her neck and a slap on his buttocks. "You're going to strangle me!"
"Ah! You, you shameless!"
Ji Qingyu trembled as she was slapped, and her hands instinctively tightened their grip even more.
"Cough cough... Let go!" Seeing that he wouldn't let go, Su Qinghe slapped him several more times without holding back, the crisp sound of the slaps echoing in the street.
"Ah! I've let go, I've let go!"
Although Ji Qingyu instinctively wanted to tighten his grip with each slap, he forced himself to remove his hand from Su Qinghe's neck in order to prevent her buttocks from being hit more.
"You're not allowed to hit me anymore!" he said in her ear, filled with shame and indignation.
Sure enough, all women are the same – lustful, shameless, and lewd! She's only slightly better than others; deep down, she still wants to take advantage of him! Humph!
He cursed Su Qinghe in his mind, then shifted uncomfortably in his seat, feeling a slight itch and a burning sensation in the spot where he had been hit.
His bottom will definitely be swollen tomorrow!
Thinking of this, he glared at Su Qinghe angrily where she couldn't see him.
"Regarding the stupid question you just asked, I'll give you three reasons!"
Having found a more comfortable position, Su Qinghe quickened her pace considerably.
"First, you are Ji Yuan's younger brother, and Ji Yuan is my husband. If something happens to you, he will be heartbroken. Even if he doesn't say it, he might blame me in his heart! I don't want to hold a grudge against him, after all, we are going to live together for the rest of our lives!"
"Secondly, you are someone I bought with my money, so you are considered my man. I won't let anyone bully you."
"I'm not your man!" Ji Qingyu suddenly retorted excitedly.
Then, in response, he received a "smack" and his buttocks were slapped again!
Ji Qingyu immediately fell silent.
"Don't interrupt! Let me finish!"
"Third, I have spent a lot of money to treat your illness, which means your life is now mine. If you lose your innocence and go crazy, making a fuss about dying all day long, my money will be wasted!"
"So, no matter what the considerations are, if something happens to you, I'll be the one who suffers!"
After finishing her long speech, Su Qinghe let out a long sigh. "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Ji Qingyu didn't answer, afraid that if he did, his backside would get in trouble.
"Well, since you have nothing to say, then I will say it."
Su Qinghe opened her mouth and began her educational session.
"You said in the house today why you have to rely on a woman, why you can't find a place where no one knows you to live."
When Ji Qingyu heard her mention this, a surge of resentment welled up in her heart again.
"Isn't that possible?"
“Sure!” Su Qinghe nodded matter-of-factly.
"If you have the ability to protect yourself in this female-dominated world, I would wholeheartedly support you even if you kept a woman as a lover."
"But do you have the ability?" Su Qinghe gave him a disdainful look.
"Are you exceptionally skilled in martial arts? Do you have a great business sense? Or do you possess some other impressive skill that allows you to support yourself?"
Ji Qingyu was at a loss for words when she was bombarded with a series of questions!
“You didn’t!” Su Qinghe shouted.
Ji Qingyu was startled.
"Not only are you incompetent, you're also a bit stupid."
Su Qinghe cursed mercilessly.
Ji Qingyu listened to what she said earlier and began to reflect on her recklessness, but she refused to listen to the last sentence.
"You're the stupid one! Ah!" Ji Qingyu yelled as he received another slap on the buttock, which hurt more than the previous ones.
"You've been beaten so many times and you still don't learn your lesson. What else can you call that but stupidity?" Su Qinghe retorted.
"If you're so tough, then don't spank me!" he roared.
"I'll hit you!" After saying that, Su Qinghe unleashed another series of vicious blows.
She didn't believe she couldn't subdue this arrogant man. If he always went against her in the future, where would her authority as a wife be?
"Ah!" Ji Qingyu screamed in agony, her eyes reddening, and her legs began to kick restlessly.
"Waaaaah... you bastard... waaaah..."
His crying looked so pitiful, but Su Qinghe was even happier.
But to avoid actually hurting him, she stopped and kindly rubbed his sore spot.
"Take your hand away!" Ji Qingyu was very angry, but his words had no deterrent effect.
"You really never learn!" Su Qinghe said helplessly, but she still didn't continue to rub him.
Fine, if you don't want me to rub it, then don't! Anyway, it's not her butt that'll be swollen tomorrow!
Stupid men only learn their lesson after suffering!
"Think carefully about what I just said!" Su Qinghe said as a final remark.
The two remained silent the entire way. Su Qinghe had no idea whether he had listened to her or not, or even if he had, how much of it he had taken in.
All she knew was that the man was restless the whole way, wiggling his hips every now and then.
"Put me down!"
Upon arriving at the entrance of Piaoxiang Tower, Ji Qingyu awkwardly spoke again.
Su Qinghe knew he was embarrassed, so she didn't make things difficult for him and simply let him go.
When they returned to the restaurant, Ji Yuan was still anxiously waiting in the room, while Lin Xi was still sleeping soundly.
"Master Wife!"
Upon seeing Su Qinghe return, Ji Yuan hurriedly walked up to her.
"My lady! Is Yu-ge'er alright?" He saw his wife's outer robe draped over Ji Qingyu's body.
“Ask him yourself!” Su Qinghe glanced at Ji Qingyu.
“Yu-ge’er?” Ji Yuan looked at him.
“Brother! I…” Ji Qingyu’s eyes darted away, not daring to look at Ji Yuan.
"You talk to him! Get some rest after you're done talking, I'm going back to my room now!"
Su Qinghe knew that this matter was probably not easy to explain in a short time. After what had just happened, she was not worried that Ji Qingyu would cause any more trouble, so she simply left the space to the two brothers and went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.
