Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince
Chapter 205: Can We Change the Punishment?

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Can We Change the Punishment?

Qi Yu was caught off guard and tossed onto the cold, hard bed, drawing in a sharp breath from the pain.

Before she could react, she was held down by Li Mingjue and flipped over, immobile as a piece of meat on a cutting board.

Feeling uneasy, Qi Yu called out, "Prince, what are you doing?"

The next second, a crisp sound echoed in the silent room.

"Slap—"

Qi Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief, feeling a burning pain in an unspeakable area.

Fuck, this Li Mingjue dared to spank her ass!

She struggled to get up, but her insignificant strength was no match for Li Mingjue, who could easily restrain her with one hand.

And still have a free hand to punish her.

Swearing inwardly, Qi Yu spoke in a tone that was extremely weak, "Prince, let’s discuss this, can we choose a different punishment?"

This position was too shameful!

If word got out, how could she face anyone again?

Li Mingjue’s face was cold, but his ears were blazing red as if they could drip blood.

This was also his first time doing something like this, and not just Qi Yu, he himself felt somewhat ashamed.

But if he didn’t teach her a lesson this time, who knows what trouble she might cause in the future.

She hadn’t even done anything yet and had already caused Lin Wenxuan and the top courtesan from Manchun Building to become deeply infatuated with her. If she really wanted to seduce someone, it would only take a matter of minutes to have him sprouting grass on his head.

Impossible!

Merely thinking about this scenario sent a surge of nameless anger through Li Mingjue. Gritting his teeth and ignoring Qi Yu’s pleas, he raised his hand and delivered another slap to that soft area.

Qi Yu was genuinely stunned this time, unable to believe this bastard dared to hit her a second time.

Li Mingjue forcefully suppressed the agitation in his heart, and spoke in a cold voice, "Do you realize your mistake?"

Qi Yu wished she could bite him to death, but since she was no match for him, she could only humiliate herself and admit her fault in a pitiful tone, "I realize my mistake, I won’t dare to do it again."

If it happened another time, she might truly end up smashing her head on the bed board and dying.

Fortunately, Li Mingjue had no intention of being too harsh on her, and after a mild chastisement, he let her go.

Once she regained her freedom, Qi Yu silently turned over in bed, curling up completely under the covers.

She was too ashamed to face anyone, she thought through clenched teeth.

Yet her face was flush with shame, her eyelashes trembled, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her body.

Fuck, she couldn’t be a masochist, could she? Why was she even reminiscing about it?

Qi Yu abruptly rolled over again, casting those wicked thoughts out of her mind.

Li Mingjue, worried she might hit the wall, quickly caught her and tugged at the blanket, coaxing, "It’s stuffy inside, no air."

Qi Yu clutched the thin spring blanket tightly with both hands, her voice muffled, "Don’t need your concern."

That bastard, he actually dared to hit her.

She decided then and there that for the next half month, she wouldn’t bother with this bastard at all.

Li Mingjue did not know her thoughts, and fearing she was suffocating inside, pulled with a bit more force and drew the blanket back.

Qi Yu’s face, now red as a ripe tomato, popped into view, her eyes brimming with tears, staring at him defiantly yet aggrieved.

Li Mingjue, conscious of his fault, cleared his throat in a conciliatory manner, his hands hovering over her waist, his breathing somewhat rapid, "Alright, don’t be angry, what if you get hurt by it?"

"If I get hurt, that would just suit your wishes!" Qi Yu slapped away his hands and complained furiously, "You could just take a new Princess then!"

She thought she was fierce, but in fact, her rosy face was spring-like, her moist eyes filled with water, her lips pouted as she spoke with firmness, yet her voice was filled with utmost grievance.

It was her own irrational words that had backfired, and as she spoke, she seemed to get angry at the mere possibility of such a scenario.

Li Mingjue found her behavior so cute that he almost laughed out loud.

He cuddled her and cooed softly, "That won’t be the case, you are the only Princess."

After a bit of a fuss, Qi Yu finally calmed down a bit.

Embarrassed by her own behavior, she didn’t want to see Li Mingjue’s seductive peach blossom eyes and skulked back to the Lin Residence feeling ashamed.

Li Mingjue recognized her embarrassment and didn’t stop her. He asked Shiqi to secretly follow her and report back if anything happened.

Shiqi, watching the Prince’s well-satisfied expression and the Princess’s extremely dark face, felt he was getting closer to the truth.

Well, the Prince has made the Princess angry and driven her away again.

When Qi Yu returned to the Lin Residence, she happened to bump into a servant who was out looking for her.

Only then did she learn that Lin Wenxuan had been carried back from the Manchun Building after he had passed out drunk.

When Lin Wenxuan’s mother and father heard the news, they were nearly faint with anger.

But he was their flesh and blood after all, and they couldn’t possibly ignore him.

After bringing him back to his room, they sent a servant to fetch the Divine Doctor.

As soon as Qi Yu entered, she was hastily pulled by a servant and they rushed to Lin Wenxuan’s room.

Upon her arrival, Lin Wenxuan’s father was standing by, sighing with grief, while his mother sat beside the bed with a handkerchief, wiping her tears.

Seeing her, both parents hurriedly made way for her, "Divine Doctor, you’ve finally returned. Come and have a look at my son!"

Lin Wenxuan’s mother, holding back her tears, earnestly dragged Qi Yu to Lin Wenxuan’s bedside.

Qi Yu consoled Lin Wenxuan’s mother with a few words, then pretended to take Lin Wenxuan’s pulse for a while.

The truth was there wasn’t much wrong; Lin Wenxuan had drunk the wine laced with aphrodisiac at the Manchun Building. His body was too weak to withstand the powerful effects of the aphrodisiac, and that was why he had passed out.

Once the effects of the drug had worn off, he would be fine.

Considering Lin Wenxuan’s parents’ feelings, she made up an excuse, saying that because his body was weak, he had fainted after drinking a little alcohol.

She didn’t mention a word about what had happened in the Manchun Building.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenxuan’s mother and father began to relax somewhat.

But seeing Lin Wenxuan lying pale on the bed, they still urged Qi Yu to prescribe some medicine.

Qi Yu waved her hand, "The medicine he’s currently taking is enough; any more would be too much. Just let me give him a few acupuncture needles, and he’ll wake up in a moment."

Lin Wenxuan’s mother and father anxiously watched as she took out several silver needles and inserted them into Lin Wenxuan’s head.

Indeed, after a short while, Lin Wenxuan slowly came to.

Overjoyed and weeping, Lin Wenxuan’s mother said to her son, still unaware of the situation, "The Divine Doctor really has skills. Xu’er, be sure to thank the Divine Doctor."

Lin Wenxuan, dazed, muttered his thanks, was helped up by a maid, and drank a few sips of water before he started to feel a little better.

Lin Wenxuan’s father, with a stern face, warned him, "If I ever see you going to those unclean places again, I’ll break your legs!"

Lin Wenxuan’s mother glared at his father, reproaching him for being too harsh and possibly scaring their son.

But Lin Wenxuan’s father couldn’t care less; if Lin Wenxuan was inept, what would become of the Lin Family’s business in the future?

He had to discipline him when it was necessary; he couldn’t afford to be merciful like a woman.

As Lin Wenxuan regained his senses, he remembered passing out at the Manchun Building, and his face turned red with shame. He lowered his head and uttered, "I understand."

Lin Wenxuan’s mother quickly tried to smooth things over, "All right, Xu’er knows he was wrong. Let him be, sir!"

Lin Wenxuan’s father, frustrated, gave Lin Wenxuan a disappointed look and stormed out.

Lin Wenxuan’s mother comforted him with a few tender words and then ordered the kitchen to prepare some of his favorite dishes, finally coaxing a better color into Lin Wenxuan’s face.

Qi Yu silently watched from the sidelines, feeling that Lin Wenxuan’s mother had an undeniable role in his current state.

However, she secretly scrutinized the mother, who was concerned for her son. She wondered if the escape of Su Guihe from her marriage had anything to do with Lin Wenxuan’s mother.
