Chapter 169: Chapter 169 How Should I Punish You?

Imperial City was still very cold in January, especially at night. A gust of cold wind blew by, as if it could sweep away one’s hair along with the scalp and soul.

Sitting on the curb in front of the hospital, Ye Li huddled up like a quail, checking her phone while watching the traffic as if waiting for a ride.

Fu Yanci’s jawline was tense.

Ye Li was still looking hopefully.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a dark shadow approach, as a black Mercedes slowly reversed toward her.

Intending to step aside, Ye Li barely moved her foot when the passenger side window slid down. Xiang Yang called out respectfully, "Lady, please get in."

Ye Li glanced at the rear window subconsciously.

One could see out from the inside, but not in from the outside.

Blinking her eyes and shaking her numb head, Ye Li let out a buzz and pulled open the rear car door.

She met the man’s unexpected expression.

Angry?

Angry that she came to the hospital without telling him?

Or was there someone unreliable at the company?

Turning to look at Xiang Yang once more, she noticed him looking straight ahead, as if he was just a driver who saw nothing and would hear nothing soon.

Ye Li: ...

Without even sitting down, Ye Li snuggled into Fu Yanci’s arms, "Husband, it’s so cold!"

He paused his breath, and Fu Yanci looked down to meet his wife’s pale face.

"Ye Li..."

His voice was cold and stern, "Is your man dead or something? Can’t you call when there’s an issue at the hospital? Don’t you know how to call me, or don’t you have the chauffeur’s number?"

She blinked, belated realizing he was angry at seeing her stuck in the cold by the roadside.

Ye Li’s eyes curved with her smile as she insinuated herself further into his arms, "Oh, don’t be mad... I was just thinking Uncle Fu must be tired from managing so many affairs every day, and I didn’t want to trouble you with my issues after work."

"I could’ve called the chauffeur, but I’d still have to wait, and maybe a nearby rideshare driver would’ve arrived faster. Besides, you can’t blame me..."

The girl rubbed her nose, "The hospital entrance is usually the best place to get a cab; there’s always a long line, how was I to know there wouldn’t be a single one today?"

With her hands reaching around the sides of Fu Yanci’s open coat, Ye Li pressed her cold face into his neck, "Fu Yanci, you really can’t blame me!"

Her icy, fragrant presence.

Her soft, sweet voice.

The girl was like a naughty kitten who’d unlatched his shirt and went on to climb his trouser leg, pleading for an embrace.

The anger in Fu Yanci’s heart vanished in an instant.

He sighed deeply in his heart and wrapped his arms around the girl, his voice still cold, "You’ve frozen my wife. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Punish... Punish?

Ye Li was startled.

The man asked, "Where to?"

"Back..."

The word "school" almost slipped out right before she met his dark, profound eyes, as if she dared to get out of the car early and leave him, he would punish her right then and there.

In a moment of crisis, Ye Li cleverly changed her tune, "Then... let’s go home? Wake up early tomorrow to take me, okay?"

"Okay."

Fu Yanci responded, bowing his head to kiss Ye Li’s forehead.

The car, which a moment ago was as cold as an ice age, was instantly filled with the warmth and renewal of spring sunshine. In the driver’s seat, Xiang Yang exhaled softly: crisis averted!

The car headed straight for Lishan Mansion, arriving half an hour later in front of the mansion.

Ye Li began to feel anxious as soon as she entered the bedroom.

Her mind was fixated on Fu Yanci’s earlier statement about punishing her.

How did he plan to punish her?

Would he tie her up?

Or confine her atop the bathroom sink?

Even as the bathtub water began to cool, Ye Li couldn’t decide how to act so that his punishment wouldn’t be too harsh.

When Bai Xiaoli timidly spoke up, saying, "You didn’t do anything wrong and you’ve already explained it, right?" Ye Li suddenly snapped back to reality.

That’s right, she hadn’t done anything wrong. Why should she be punished?

With head held high and full of newfound confidence, Ye Li strode out of the bathroom.

But at the moment when Fu Yanci’s domineering, fierce kiss left her breathless, an irate Ye Li bit back hard.
