Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Got Disciplined
Xiao Li didn’t expect Qin Xiao to say that, and was momentarily stunned.
Qin Xiao took the opportunity to lightly kiss her lips while she was in a daze...
"Mianmian is asleep, let’s go back to our room and rest!" Qin Xiao said as he held Xiao Li’s hand and headed to the master bedroom...
Following him, Xiao Li asked, "Aren’t you going to the study today?"
After all, Qin Xiao was responsible for the Qin Family’s network of connections, it wasn’t possible for him to just have a regular workday.
Besides working hours, he would occasionally be busy in the study when at home.
Previously, when they were in S City, Xiao Li rarely saw Qin Xiao busy at home. After returning to B City, it was fine at first, but recently, Qin Xiao had been quite busy even when at home.
Qin Xiao didn’t answer, just continued to hold Xiao Li and walk towards the master bedroom. Once inside and with the door closed, Qin Xiao pressed Xiao Li against the door, "There was an ancient saying: ’The spring night is short yet the day starts high, from then on the emperor does not attend court early.’
Even emperors in ancient times couldn’t resist the allure of a moment on a spring night, refusing to attend court in favor of a beauty.
To me, no affairs could be more important than you..."
With those words, a kiss followed...
Around five in the morning, Xiao Li was lying on the bed, utterly exhausted. Her body was sweaty, making her very uncomfortable, so she wanted to get up and wash up before sleeping again...
But as soon as she moved her legs, she found they were very weak...
Oh my god!
What was with Uncle yesterday?
What triggered him?
The whole day yesterday, first thing in the morning she got dealt with, and by night it was even worse.
Xiao Li couldn’t recall when she fell asleep last night?
She only knew that she seemed not to have slept much at all last night...
Ugh...
She really didn’t want to go to work today!
Her body was nearly falling apart!
Xiao Li sat up from the bed with a bitter face, dragging her softly limp legs down to the floor, but as soon as she stood up, she was lifted up again.
Qin Xiao carried Xiao Li towards the bathroom, and Xiao Li thought he was carrying her to wash up as he used to when he saw she was tired.
However, she hadn’t expected that usually behaved Qin Xiao, who would simply carry her in to wash up, was not so well-behaved this time.
Being treated like this by Qin Xiao, if Xiao Li still couldn’t see what was wrong with him, then she really might as well throw her brains into the Pacific Ocean.
Xiao Li was left crying in the bathroom, not even knowing where she went wrong, so she could only cry and ask Qin Xiao what she did wrong.
Seeing that she really didn’t know what was wrong, and seeing her pitifully crying, Qin Xiao could only coo gently, giving her a warm bath before carrying her back to bed...
At this point, Xiao Li really had no strength left at all.
Fortunately, her shift was in the afternoon today, allowing her to rest in the morning. Otherwise, she would probably have to call out of work again as soon as she returned to the hospital.
Back in bed, thinking about Qin Xiao’s misdeeds from yesterday to today, Xiao Li’s eyes reddened with grievance.
Whenever Xiao Li cried, Qin Xiao would feel distressed and hurriedly tried to pull her into his arms, but Xiao Li, having been bullied by Qin Xiao, was now in a huff and refused to let him.
When Qin Xiao tried to hug her directly, Xiao Li stared with red eyes, tears falling drop by drop from her face, moving Qin Xiao to just beg her not to cry.
After crying for a while, Xiao Li felt less wronged and then wrapped herself in a sheet, sitting up to face Qin Xiao, "Uncle, did I do something wrong?"
Having just cried, Xiao Li’s voice was a bit hoarse, with a touch of grievance...
Qin Xiao rubbed his nose, suddenly feeling he might have gone too far, "Ahem...you did nothing wrong, I just wanted you to stick to me a bit more."
Hearing this, Xiao Li blinked, "Am I not sticky enough with you now?
Look, besides work, I spend all my time with you!
Before being with you, I often went out with Feng Qing and the others.
But now, they’re also in B City, and I haven’t played with them much; even when going out, I’m with you...
And still, you say I’m not sticky enough...
So, just because I’m not clingy enough with you, does that give you the right to bully me like this?"
Xiao Li didn’t erupt hysterically; she calmly, with grievance, accused...
Yet the calmer she was, the more Qin Xiao’s confidence dwindled.
It seemed...he really had bullied Xiao Li too harshly this time.
Realizing this, Qin Xiao hastily extended his arms to pull Xiao Li into an embrace.
This time, Xiao Li didn’t resist, softly leaning into Qin Xiao’s arms. Qin Xiao kissed the top of her head lightly, "Nini, I was wrong this time. I won’t bully you like this anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Li nodded slightly, "Since you were wrong, you have to be punished. I punish you not to touch me for ten days.
Consider it prepaid from last night."
At these words, Qin Xiao secretly complained...
Just after finally waiting for Xiao Li’s hand to heal, now he was to become a monk for ten more days.
No matter how miserable Qin Xiao felt, he had to agree; after all, he had bullied her so badly!
"Uncle, from now on, let’s openly discuss everything, okay?
I’m slow to react; I often don’t even know when I upset you.
If you’re unhappy in the future, just tell me, okay?
Don’t punish me like this. Even if I accept the punishment, if you don’t say anything, I still won’t know my mistake, right?"
After speaking, Xiao Li turned around, looking pitifully at Qin Xiao, and he couldn’t refuse such a sight of Xiao Li.
Qin Xiao nodded, "Alright, from now on, we’ll speak openly. It’s still early, do you want to rest a bit more?"
Xiao Li nodded, "I do, but I’m hungry."
After a whole night of physical exertion, it wouldn’t be surprising to be hungry...
Upon hearing Xiao Li say she was hungry, Qin Xiao quickly got up and dressed, "Stay lying down, I’ll go make you something to eat downstairs."
After saying that, he kissed Xiao Li’s forehead and went downstairs.
As soon as Qin Xiao left, the grievance on Xiao Li’s face disappeared.
She sprawled out, lying down, looked at the ceiling, and murmured, "Finally passed the ordeal.
Men, indeed, are just like kids, can’t be provoked!"
Luckily she was clever enough to show weakness in time, while also turning the tables a bit.
Hmm...
For the next ten days, she had to stick to the punishment, making sure Uncle remembered deeply...
This way he wouldn’t recklessly bully her again...
Soon, Qin Xiao returned with a cup of warm milk, a fried egg, and two pieces of toast.
Smelling the toast, Xiao Li immediately sat up under the covers...
She was too hungry.
As soon as Qin Xiao placed the tray on the bedside table, Xiao Li immediately grabbed the milk with one hand while holding the blanket with the other, and started drinking...
After a couple of sips, seeing that the tray only had breakfast for one, she asked, "Uncle, why only one cup of milk? Aren’t you having some?"
Qin Xiao smiled, "I’m not hungry, I’ll eat downstairs later, you eat first..."
