“Kneel properly. Take your pants off. Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Liu Ruoxi was like a queen高高在上, her expression cold and detached as she stared down at her son, who was extremely reluctant to remove his pants in front of her.
Smack!
“Ahhh～～ It hurts, it hurts～～ Mom～～ my dear mom～～～” Yang Haoran clutched his buttocks and howled in pain, grimacing.
Watching her son wail in agony, a flicker of reluctance passed through Liu Ruoxi’s brow. But remembering his actions, her anger surged uncontrollably. She stiffened her face again and said coldly, “What are you crying out for? It was just one hit. If it really hurts that much, would you have dared to do those things?”
“My Lady, my skin is tender and delicate, and it’s all your flesh and blood. You hit so hard that time!” Yang Haoran was also wronged. Mom was truly angry, not holding back her strength like she used to at all.
“Kneel properly. No more nonsense. Let this be a warning: if you dare to do it, you must dare to face the consequences. If you don’t let me vent my anger today, don’t expect your future days to be easy.”
Liu Ruoxi remained completely unmoved. She swung down again towards the fair, tender buttocks, though for some reason, her force was slightly less this time. Still, it hurt enough to make Yang Haoran grit his teeth and bear it.
He knew Mom was right. If she didn’t get her anger out, this wasn’t over.
Only after a full twenty strikes did Liu Ruoxi stop. Yang Haoran’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, his face flushed red from holding back. It hurt!
“Mo… Mother… Your… Is your anger appeased?” Seeing his mother had stopped, Yang Haoran quickly tried to flatter and please her, ignoring the pain in his bottom. As a result, he lost his balance and his sore buttocks landed hard on the cool tile floor, making him gasp sharply from the pain.
Watching her clumsy son, Liu Ruoxi was truly exasperated. How did she give birth to such a thing.
“Get up. Lie face down on the bed.”
She tossed out the sentence and left the room.
Yang Haoran lay prone on the bed, not daring to move, until he saw his mother return with a bottle of medicine in her hand.
“Don’t move. Mom will apply some medicinal liquid for you. Let me tell you, this matter isn’t over. You better be careful from now on.”
Her tone was still icy, but Yang Haoran detected a hint of softness within it. He immediately felt relieved; this severe beating wasn’t for nothing.
“Sss… Ah it hurts, it hurts, it hurts… Gently… gently… My Lady… Sss…” As the liquid was applied to the wounded area, Yang Haoran’s brows tightened, and he instinctively performed a theatric, mournful嚎叫.
“Stop making noise. Since you were little, there hasn’t been a single thing that’s put my mind at ease.”
The shrill howling couldn’t help but irritate and confuse Liu Ruoxi.
“My Lady… be gentler… Can’t I even cry out if it hurts?”
Yang Haoran spoke with an appearance of earnestness and conviction.
“Heh…” Liu Ruoxi冷笑一声 as she applied the medicine: “You knew it would hurt, yet you still dared to call at that time. You were counting on me not daring to answer, weren’t you?”
“Well, My Lady, if it weren’t for you seducing me like that by creating a fake WeChat account… Sss… It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…” Before Yang Haoran could finish, the pressure on his buttocks suddenly increased, hurting so much he quickly begged for mercy.
Mom was clearly doing this on purpose. Obviously, she dared to do it but wouldn’t own up to it.
“Some things, you just need to understand in your heart. No need to say them out loud, understand?” Liu Ruoxi said coldly. As she spoke, she increased the pressure of her application, as if threatening him.
“Aha… Sss… Gently… I understand… understand… My Lady… I beg you to show mercy…” Yang Haoran hurriedly begged for mercy. He felt the pressure on his buttocks return to a gentle touch, and the pain subsided.
Although his bottom still ached, his mother’s words echoed in his mind. A deep confusion troubled his heart: Why did Mom actually want to do this?
And the shared secret between Auntie Shen and Mom—why couldn’t they tell him?
Could there be some hidden reason?
But Mom’s current attitude made it clear she wouldn’t tell him, even forbidding him from mentioning it. Everything seemed so strange.
Yang Haoran tried to analyze and guess at the answer, but even by the time the medicine was finished being applied, he had still gained no insight.
Seeing his mother holding the tidied-up medicine bottle and preparing to leave, Yang Haoran quickly called out to stop her: “Mom, Auntie Shen invited both of us to the manor at Xitang小区 tomorrow. Remember to go.”
After he spoke, Yang Haoran could visibly see his mother’s face flush slightly. But for some reason, she didn’t refuse. She冷冷哼了一声, left a “Got it,” and then slammed the door shut behind her.
Bang! The door was shut hard, representing the mood of the person who had left.
She knew what she was going there to do, yet she couldn’t refuse… Auntie Shen had said that once he made this request, Mom would definitely agree. What he saw before him was exactly the same.
Yang Haoran felt everything becoming more and more bewildering and unclear. He picked up his phone and called Auntie Shen.
What did Auntie Shen want him and Mom to do at the manor? She hadn’t said, only telling him to call her after Mom agreed.
Once the call connected, Yang Haoran immediately asked: “Auntie Shen, my mom agreed. Now can you say what we’re going to that manor to do?”
“Oh～ I thought your first sentence would be to ask why Ruoxi agreed.”
“I want to ask too, but even if I did, you wouldn’t tell me.”
Yang Haoran was helpless. This was clearly related to the secret between Mom and her. No matter how much he asked, he wouldn’t get an answer. Better to focus on other questions.
“If… your mother and I… were to listen to one request from you… what would you want us to do?”
Yang Haoran was full of doubt. There’s such a good thing?
“Anything at all?”
Although unclear of the reason, judging from the meaning in Auntie Shen’s words, did she mean that she and Mom would obey one of his requests? “Mmm～ It’s not that anything is possible, but you could also say that anything is possible.”
Knowing Little Haoran wouldn’t understand, Shen Qing continued to explain: “I know what you mean and what you’re thinking, but that kind of request… your mother would never agree to. Even if you forced her to go through with it, it would be of no benefit to you at all. I suggest you take it slowly. There will be more opportunities for this kind of request in the future; it’s not a one-time thing.”
Yang Haoran’s imagination ran wild upon hearing this. He felt somewhat exhilarated: “Auntie Shen, you mean… like what was said on WeChat… you and Mom being my bitches, me being your master… I can assign you tasks… is that it?” By the end, his voice trembled, his words excited. He wouldn’t even dare to voice such an improper thought in his dreams! If it could be out in the open, then… Yang Haoran’s breathing became rapid.
Shen Qing on the other end fell silent. She hadn’t revealed even a hint of this; Little Haoran had guessed it all on his own. Ruoxi probably wouldn’t blame her, right?
“Little Haoran, remember, I never said anything like that. If Ruoxi asks you, you must answer carefully.”
The slower Shen Qing spoke towards the end, the more meaningful her words seemed.
