770 A Million Times for You 132 (1/2)
Jin Qingyan finally stopped and asked austerely, ”Have you learned your lesson yet?”
”Yes,” the teary-eyed Jin Yiheng answered with a nod.
Jin Qingyan then took out the medical kit and began applying some ointment for him.
”Ouch, it hurts. Daddy, be gentler.”
”Glad you know it hurts. You deserve a beating for running your mouth without thinking.”
Tears streamed down Jin Yiheng's face as he answered, ”I wouldn't have told you guys if I'd known earlier that this would happen.”
After applying the ointment, Jin Qingyan chided, ”You'll have been beaten up worse if you'd hidden it from us.”
”Daddy, I'm your biological son. How could you bear to beat my buttocks?”
Jin Qingyan rolled his eyes and said, ”I punished you only with a beating precisely because you're my son. If you weren't my child, I would've fed you to the wolves.”
”Daddy, don't try to frighten me, I won't be intimidated.”
”You're not afraid eh? Should I throw you into a wolves' den, then?”
Jin Yiheng shivered and scurried out of the door while clutching his buttocks. ”I'm going back to my room!”
Jin Qingyan whipped his phone out to call An Xiaoning but could not reach her.
He lay in bed, filled with worry about his sex life. After this incident, she definitely wouldn't let me get intimate with her again. She probably wouldn't want to see me anytime soon too. How troubling.
Jin Qingyan had to bear the consequences brought about by his son's mistake.

An Xiaoning stayed home in Sanqiao Estate for the rest of the afternoon.
She initially thought that Tuoba Gucheng would call her at night. However, that was not the case.
She was perturbed and anxious.
After much thought, she decided to take the initiative to call him.
She managed to reach him successfully.
”Are you asleep yet?”
”No,” he answered, sounding extremely disgruntled.
”Have you guys gone home yet?” she asked randomly, in a bid to get the conversation going.
”No, we're heading home tomorrow morning.” Seemingly having already guessed what was on her mind, he asked, ”Do you have something to say to me?”
She denied, ”No… I won't disturb your rest, then. I'll be hanging up now.”
”Who said I was resting? I was planning to meet you privately and it just so happened that you called. I won't go over to your place then. Come to mine,” he said, suppressing his anger.
”Where are you now?” she asked, gripping her phone nervously.
”Shishi is staying the night in her parents' home. I'm staying at a hotel along Mingyuan Road. My room number is 2027.”
”Your Majesty, it'd be a little inappropriate for me to visit you at such a late hour, wouldn't it? How about tomorrow…”
”It's either I go over to look for you, or vice versa. You pick,” he insisted vehemently, not allowing her to negotiate with him at all.
”I think… I'd better go over to your place.”
She ended the call forlornly and picked out a black quilted jacket from her closet, which had a hood that would cover her face. Hence, after also putting on a pair of shades that would cover her eyes, she would not have to fear being recognized.
