Chapter 96
Ti Ling noticed her restlessness. She puffed on her water pipe, slowly exhaling a stream of smoke before laughing. "It's just a show, why are you so nervous? You even studied Western painting! The people in those paintings aren't even dressed as well as the dancers on stage! Listen to me, don't treat this as a sex trade. Appreciate it from an artistic perspective, and you'll find that man on stage incredibly charming!"
The moon is bright and terrifying. What kind of shocking and profound idea is this?
But if you think about it...it makes some sense. Isn't this another way of saying "benevolence in the eyes of the benevolent, and vice in the eyes of the wicked"?
The dancer on the stage was completely shirtless. His lean shoulders and neck, his defined abs, all betrayed a man of immense strength. Yet, his waist was incredibly supple, and the belt around his waist swayed like a waterfall of stars as his hips swung wildly. She had never seen a man so embodied, so feminine! She couldn't understand why, amidst the frenzied cheers, there were men, too. Were they there to appreciate the art, too?
As the dancer on the stage even pulled off his waist chain and threw it to the audience, two voices were fighting in Yueming's mind.
A voice said sternly, "A lady of good family should not watch such a shameful performance. Stand up and leave, immediately!"
But another voice said weakly: "Since we are here..."
Just as she was torn between two options, a commotion erupted from the doorway. Curious, Yueming turned back, and upon seeing who was causing the trouble, she felt as if struck by lightning. Before she could react, Yunkai had already pushed aside the waiter who had tried to stop him at the doorway and strode towards her.
The clenched muscles in his cheeks and the slightly trembling fists clearly showed that he was furious and ready to kill. Yueming was terrified at this, not even daring to ask, "Why are you here?"
Yunkai took a few deep breaths, restrained the urge to break her trembling little neck, reached out to pull Yueming, who was still kneeling on the carpet, up, and pulled her arm and walked out without saying a word.
"Hey, Yun Er, where are you taking her?" Ti Ling saw Yue Ming being taken away and quickly stood up to chase her, but was stopped by Luo Er: "Auntie, don't you think the trouble you caused is not big enough?"
Ti Ling shook off his arm and said unconvincedly, "What trouble have I caused? Aren't we just here to watch a song and dance? What law have I broken?"
Luo Er pointed at the tip of her nose and warned, "Just be quiet and don't cause any trouble." Then he turned around and chased out the door.
Yunkai dragged Yueming to the front of the car and then angrily yelled, "Do you know where this place is? How dare you come here?"
As soon as he roared, Yueming's eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist, and the corners of his mouth drooped and began to tremble.
Cry, cry, cry, all you know is to cry! They just made out in the afternoon, and now she's here to see naked men. She actually has the nerve to cry after doing something so outrageous. Yun Kai was so angry that he didn't care that they were on the street. He raised his big palm and slapped Yue Ming's buttocks twice.
Her butt was fleshy, so the two slaps didn't hurt much, but she was already a grown woman, and taking two such blows in public with so many people on the street was too humiliating. Her eyes rolled around in shock as she stared at him for a second, then she let out a loud "Ah!" and started howling.
In the past, when she cried like this, Yun Kai would have felt both distressed and embarrassed, and would have tried to calm things down, calling it a day, and quickly finding a way for them to leave. But today, he was furious, refusing to be swayed by her tears. He put his hands on his hips and scolded even louder, "Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying? Is that all you can do?"
Unexpectedly, he would become more and more excited as he scolded her. Yueming gasped: "I didn't mean it."
Luo Er walked out just in time to catch up with the excitement. He asked Su Shiyue, who was leaning against the car door with his arms folded, smacking his lips as he watched, "Did they fight? Why did you just watch and not try to stop them?"
Su Shiyue pouted and said, "Why should I persuade him? Yun Er is useless. For such a serious matter, a whipping is the least of his worries. Yun Er just slapped him twice. It's probably his first time to be a husband and he has no experience. Look at the way he puts his hands on his hips. He's so proud of himself! Little A Yue is also good at pretending. She only received two mild slaps, but she cried as if Yun Er had broken her legs."
On the way home, Yunkai sat with his legs crossed and a gloomy face, looking as if he didn't want anyone to approach him. Yueming sat beside him, sobbing pitifully, holding her face in her hands. He refused to comfort her. When he got home, he just left her downstairs and went back to his room.
Lying in bed, thinking about Yueming's actions tonight still made him feel upset. He reflected on whether he and Lan Yingde had spoiled her too much, making her even more daring than she actually was. He brought her to Bangkok because, firstly, he was angry that she had returned to Kunming without telling him; secondly, he brought her here to help her get accustomed to life in Bangkok; and thirdly, he took advantage of the fact that she only had a cousin in Siam who was not a close relative, and she had no one to rely on, so she could rely on him wholeheartedly. He had never expected that she would find a way to befriend Ti Ling.
The rules are still too lax, so I might as well take this opportunity to tighten her up.
In the middle of the night, a flash of lightning flashed, thunder roared, and raindrops lashed the windowpanes. The force of the rain was so intense that it seemed to threaten to burst through. Yun Kai, halfway through his sleep, felt a gaze fixed on him. The alertness he'd developed during horse racing suddenly jolted him awake. His hand reached for the gun under his pillow, and his eyes snapped open.
"Wow!" Even though he was mentally prepared, he was so shocked by the scene that he sat up from the bed and covered his chest with the quilt.
Another flash of lightning appeared, and Yueming, with disheveled hair and wearing a white nightgown, stood in front of the bed with a small pillow in her arms. In the light of the lightning, she looked at him with eyes that were unwilling to close.
Why was she performing "Liao Zhai" so late at night? Yun Kai turned on the bedside lamp and said angrily, "Why are you running around in the middle of the night?"
Yueming sniffed pitifully and said, "You're still angry, I'm scared."
Annoying! Yun Kai fell back onto the bed, hugging the quilt and turning over impatiently, leaving just enough space for one more person to lie down.
The light in front of me suddenly dimmed, and then I heard the sound of clothes rubbing against sheets. It was Yueming who turned off the light and lay down.
Knowing that he was still angry, Yueming didn't dare to get close to him as she did in the past, and slept miserably beside the bed.
Yun Kai closed his eyes and went to sleep, but after a while he heard suppressed sobbing coming from behind him.
Isn't she afraid of dehydration by crying like this? He said helplessly: "What's wrong?"
Yueming cried and said aggrievedly, "I'm not the type to join in the fun. It was Ti Ling who asked me to go, not me who wanted to go on my own initiative. I didn't know it was that kind of place. If I had known beforehand, I definitely wouldn't have gone! But you didn't even listen to my explanation. Not only did you keep scolding me, you even hit me."
Yun Kai was hard-hearted tonight and remained unmoved by her crying. He turned around and asked in a deep voice, "How did you get involved with Ti Ling?"
"She's pursuing Cousin An and wants my help!"
"It's her business if she wants to pursue An Kejian. You are not allowed to have any contact with her behind my back anymore."
I'm afraid this is unnecessary. Just don't go to places like that with her in the future!
Seeing Yueming's hesitation, Yunkai's voice became a little harsher: "Did you hear that?"
“I heard it!”
Seeing that she agreed, Yun Kai opened his arms and hugged her. Yue Ming hugged his waist and burst into tears: "You only know how to scold me, you don't care about me at all."
He doesn't care about her? This woman is not only heartless but also has no sense of justice. Just because she made trouble while eating, he has changed three chefs, and he still doesn't care about her!
Yueming continued to complain: "You're not home every day, and you don't allow me to go out on the street alone. I'm stuck at home every day, which is worse than being in prison."
She was a woman who didn't know anyone in the area, so she went out alone. Did she think the Bangkok hooligans weren't tough enough? She thought she was Yun-sang, and that he could walk down any street with his authority. He'd eat anything he wanted the moment he left the house, and then not eat properly when he got home. And she was the one who'd suffer the consequences if he got sick.
There were a hundred reasons in his mind that could refute her and make her feel ashamed, but Yun Kai just sighed and patted her shoulder and coaxed her, "Okay, okay, don't cry. Tell me where you want to go, and I'll go with you!"
Yueming howled for most of the night. Yunkai was afraid that she would cry for too long and hurt her trachea, heart and lungs, so he ordered the kitchen to stew a soup made with dendrobium and pig heart and lungs early so that she could drink it when she woke up.
Yueming sat at the dining table, looking at the steaming bowl of heart and lung soup in front of her, wanting to cry but unable to. She mustered up the courage to take a sip, and her mouth was filled with a fishy taste.
After a lot of trouble, he finally swallowed the soup in his mouth, and immediately pushed the bowl away and announced: "I'm full."
Yun Kai looked up from the newspaper and glanced at her calmly, threateningly saying, "Drink it all, and don't force me to force you to drink it."
It seemed that he was still angry. Yueming didn't dare to act rashly. He stirred the soup with a spoon for a long time without putting it into his mouth.
Feng Xiaosai came to report that Young Master Su and Second Young Master Luo had arrived. Yueming, who had overheard it, was overjoyed.
There are guests coming, and she can use the excuse of greeting them to ignore the bowl of soup in front of her that tastes like poison!
Seeing Yunkai put down the newspaper and stand up, she was about to follow him out. But as soon as her butt left the stool, she heard Yunkai say coldly, "Sit down and come out after you finish your breakfast."
Yueming pouted and sat back reluctantly.
After leaving the dining room, he saw Su Shiyue and Luo Er sitting on the sofa drinking tea. He asked, "Why are you here? I'm having breakfast! Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together."
Su Shiyue put down the cup of tea in his hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist and sneered: "You are really frugal, eating breakfast and lunch at once. What's the matter? Are you tired from beating your wife last night and can't get up this morning?"
Yunkai sat down on the sofa opposite him, opened the silver cigarette case on the coffee table and handed it to them. Seeing him making up stories, he laughed and scolded, "Get lost! Who beats their wife? We Dai people have a saying: love your wife to the bones and love your son to the heart. There has never been a man in our family who beats his wife."
Su Shiyue shook his head: "You took such a big thing last night and let it go so easily? Let me tell you, your wife is too bold. Before we get married, we need to give her a good beating so that she will remember this lesson, otherwise she will be even more presumptuous after we get married."
Yueming was in the dining room, overhearing Su Shiyue's troublemaking and fanning the flames. He was so furious that he slammed the bowl of soup, which he had long since stopped drinking, onto the table. The soup spilled all over the table, and the spoon clanged against the bowl.
She slammed the table and roared, "Xiao Sai, bring me my Fang Tian Hua Ji. Today, it's either him or me who will die."
Even though Feng Xiaosai was usually quite shrewd, he was stunned for a moment after hearing her words. A Fang Tian Hua Ji? When did this thing come into our family? Did the young master buy it for you? Didn't he also buy you a Red Hare?
Su Shiyue laughed so hard when he heard Yueming's angry shout: "Look, she has no intention of reflecting on her actions and still wants to fight me. Can she beat me with her height that is not even as tall as a watermelon?"
Yun Kai looked at Su Shiyue calmly and said, "You'd better not mess with her. She has a Browning and is very good at it." Seeing Su Shiyue's laughter stop abruptly, he shouted towards the dining room, "Xiao Sai, did the soup spill? Serve her another bowl. Lan Yueming, if you dare to step out of the dining room without drinking every drop of soup, I will break your legs."
Su Shiyue had witnessed the entire commotion from last night until now. Yueming was furious, and with a determined determination, he snatched the soup Feng Xiaosai had brought him and gulped it down in one gulp. He didn't even bother to wipe the soup off his lips, and as fast as lightning, he leaped up at Su Shiyue and cursed, "When I heard you speak, my sense of justice surged. I just want to beat you to death for ridding the people of this evil. You came here so early in the morning to instigate Ah Yun to hit me. Do you want to cause unrest in our family? You're just trying to sow discord. What's the point of him having this unnecessary friendship of yours?"
Yueming was jumping around like a jumping bean, which amused Su Shiyue. He decided to challenge Yueming: "Since ancient times, chastity and tranquility have been the most important principles for women. You are incapable of being virtuous. Last night, you saw a striptease and your chastity was also compromised. I advise you to learn the word tranquility. I am telling you this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Yueming folded his arms and sneered, "You truly are the greatest philanthropist in Siam! When you die, be sure to have your filial sons and grandsons inform me. I'll have to dig through your ashes for a couple of relics."
Luo Er couldn't help but laugh as he watched the two of them swearing at each other like fighting cocks. Seeing Yun Kai calmly asking Feng Xiaosai to go to the dining room and get him the newspaper, he asked curiously, "Why don't you stop them? They're already arguing so hard they're about to draw their swords and chop each other."
Yun Kai opened the newspaper and looked down at the news he hadn't finished reading. "Let them beat me. I'll bury them if they kill me."
Su Shiyue smacked his lips and said, "Little Ayue, you deserve to be punished. It's unfair for a grown man like me to hit you. I don't want to bully you. But as a girl, you keep talking about hitting people. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Yueming's snort grew louder. "If you hit me, you're bullying the weak and being violent; if I hit you, I'm upholding justice and enforcing the law. Being lenient with myself and strict with others is my motto. Others say I strike out with heavy blows, but when I say that, I mean it's all pearls of wisdom."
Su Shiyue was deeply shocked by Yueming's hypocritical and shameless remarks. He asked Yun Kai, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, "Is she so arrogant because she followed you, or is she born that way?"
He then said to Yueming with a sincere sigh, "It's such a shame we met so late! If I had known you a few years earlier, I would definitely have given up Yun Er and become your sworn brother."
You shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Although Yueming was still angry, he quickly adjusted his attitude and waved his hand modestly at him: "Thank you, thank you!"
Luo Er was so shocked that his jaw dropped. How come they shook hands and made peace again for no apparent reason?
Seeing the two men temporarily cease fire, Yun Kai stepped forward to take charge. He glanced at them coldly and said in a deep voice, "Are you done quarreling? Are you done fighting? If you've had enough, then stay still. If you're not, then fight me. I guarantee you two will never forget this."
