Chapter 51: Chapter 51: My Favorite Way to Punish You

When Fu Shihan arrived home, Su Wanxin had already changed all the bedding and taken another shower, even washing the shirt he had worn earlier.

Fu Shihan glared at her hands wet with water, his anger causing him to slam the medicine down onto the bed, which made Su Wanxin standing in the corner tremble with fright.

Su Wanxin, seeing the medicine on the bed, suddenly realized where he had been just now. She calmed herself down and tried softly to ease the atmosphere. "It’s just a slight burn, it doesn’t hurt, I can hardly feel it anymore."

Fu Shihan looked at her, saying nothing.

A few days ago, she was almost kidnapped, the injuries from jumping down from the second floor hadn’t fully healed yet, and there were still faint bruises on her legs and scabs on her knees.

She had said the same thing at that time, that it didn’t hurt, she couldn’t feel it. But she knew the pain herself.

Su Wanxin, facing the furious Fu Shihan, eventually became scared. She walked to the bedside, picked up the medicine and looked at the instructions.

"I’ll apply the medicine now, don’t be angry."

Su Wanxin seriously read the few lines of instruction, about to apply the medicine to herself, but suddenly Fu Shihan pushed her down onto the bed.

His sudden closeness made Su Wanxin’s heart race, she held her breath and looked up at him, his brooding gaze made her feel extremely uneasy.

Fu Shihan tightly gripped her wrists and spoke in a low voice. "If I find you hurt again, I will tie you up and confine you at home, and you won’t think about going anywhere."

Su Wanxin: "..."

"Did you remember that?"

"You can’t do this."

"I asked you, did you remember?"

He was serious, and Su Wanxin knew it. So after figuring out that if she didn’t agree now, he would have other ways to make her consent, she very prudently replied, "I remembered."

Hearing her promise, some of the gloom in Fu Shihan’s eyes dissipated. He smelled the faint fragrance on her, saw her aggrieved expression, lowered his head, and swallowed her dissatisfied whimpers.

Unlike the rough kiss they had in the living room not long ago, this time he was much gentler, but it still met strong rejection from Su Wanxin.

Fu Shihan gently bit her lip, slowly raising his head to meet her eyes, warning her.

"Behave, don’t provoke me. You know I have many ways to punish you, and making you cry is my favorite."

Su Wanxin blushed and turned her head to avoid his gaze, not daring to pick up his lead. Satisfied, Fu Shihan pulled her up to sit, opened the outer packaging of the burn cream carefully treating her wound.

After applying the ointment and wrapping the bandage, Fu Shihan instructed "Don’t touch water these next few days", then went to take a shower, came back to bed, and turned off the lights.

Su Wanxin was held tightly in his arms, her body tensed up. She thought about it and couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see me tonight?"

"Do you want to cry now?"

"...Goodnight."

Su Wanxin immediately silenced herself, staying completely still, as if there was a ticking time bomb beside her.

Fu Shihan didn’t do anything more to her, as if those previous words and warnings had never existed. He just held her gently, clutching her injured hand, fearing she might press on it unknowingly in her sleep.

The long night dragged on, some slept soundly while others stayed awake.

Su Wanxin didn’t know when Fu Shihan fell asleep, but she fell asleep quite quickly.

The next day, they both tacitly did not mention what happened last night. After breakfast, Su Wanxin was sent to the office, and Fu Shihan went to take care of his own business, without any contact between the two for the entire day.
