Seeing the old master leave, Lin Miao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment she relaxed, she felt a ticklish sensation at her waist.
Lin Miao’s waist was a sensitive spot for her.
Even the slightest touch made her feel incredibly ticklish.
At this moment, the man’s large hand was wrapped around her waist in a possessive manner, leaving no gap between the two of them.
This instantly reminded Lin Miao of how the man had used that very hand to drive her to the brink of collapse the night before.
Her ears immediately turned red again.
Sheng Yanli’s phoenix eyes curved upward—this little girl’s skin was truly thin.
Lin Miao lifted her gaze, her round eyes glaring at the man beside her. “Let go.”
Although it was said in a commanding tone, her soft, gentle voice came across more like a coquettish plea.
It was like a tiny milk cat with no threat whatsoever suddenly puffing up its fur.
Then swiping a claw at you.
It didn’t hurt, but it was incredibly ticklish.
The man’s thin lips curled slightly as he pressed them close to her earlobe, his warm breath spraying against her ear.
“That’s not what you said last night.”
His voice instantly reminded Lin Miao of how he had whispered in her ear with that same magnetic tone the night before.
All of it was words that would never pass censorship.
Ahhhh.
Lin Miao immediately banished those thoughts.
She—she was a pure and innocent little cutie.
How could she be so lewd?
She immediately retorted in defiance, “That’s because you seduced me!”
Last night, she had zero experience.
Who knew how many women this man had slept with? He was even more familiar with that kind of business than the gigolos at a nightclub.
She had run straight into a top-tier succubus from the very start.
“Ahem, well then, Third Brother, we’ll be taking our leave now.”
Lu Zhizhou was sharp as a tack—he immediately picked up on the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Besides, he’d seen enough of the show.
If he kept watching, he might end up getting burned himself.
Time to scram, time to scram.
Lu Huai’s peach blossom eyes swept over Sheng Yanli and Lin Miao, a wicked smirk curling at the corner of his lips.
“Third Brother, don’t scare the little girl too much.”
With that, he followed Lu Zhizhou out the door.
Leaving Sheng Mingnan alone, standing there miserably in place.
Wait, those two bastards just left him behind like that?
“Um, Uncle, I won’t disturb you and Miaomiao either. I’m heading off too.”
“Sheng Mingnan.”
The voice wasn’t loud, but it made Sheng Mingnan’s foot, which was about to step forward, freeze solid in place.
He swallowed hard.
“Uncle, is there something else?”
The man smoothed his sleeves, his indifferent phoenix eyes sweeping over him.
“The company has a project in Antarctica. We need an image director. Pack your things tomorrow and get your ass over there.”
“Ah!”
“Uncle, I’m sorry! Antarctica is a godforsaken place—no beautiful women, no video games. I’ll die there!”
Sheng Mingnan shamelessly clung to his uncle’s leg.
Crying miserably about the “inhumane” torture he would suffer if sent there.
“Uncle, you’ve been living like a celibate monk for over thirty years, fine, but you can’t turn your beloved nephew into one too!”
Sheng Yanli watched his antics expressionlessly, his thin lips pressed together before slowly uttering a single word.
“Scram.”
“No way.”
Sheng Mingnan knew he couldn’t back down at a moment like this, or he’d be saying goodbye to beautiful women forever.
He would fight to the end.
“Chen Xiao.”
A man immediately stepped out from the corner.
“Patriarch.”
Sheng Yanli said coldly.
“Throw him out.”
“Wuwu, Uncle, this is a classic case of forgetting your nephew once you’ve got a woman!”
“I’m running away from home!”
Sheng Mingnan threatened with great dignity.
“You think having a passport means you can leave?”
Sheng Yanli cast him a sidelong glance.
“…What exactly do you want!”
Sheng Mingnan, if nothing else, had a first-rate sense for danger, and he had a deep understanding of his uncle’s temperament.
“Heh,” Sheng Yanli let out a cold laugh.
The capital was his territory. If he didn’t want someone to leave, even a passport wouldn’t help.
Sheng Mingnan’s face instantly drooped as he wailed.
“Uncle! Dear Uncle! You can’t do this to me! I’ll die without women!”
Sheng Mingnan managed to stay tough for a rare moment—but only for three seconds before he was immediately knocked back into his usual form.
Sheng Yanli didn’t even spare him a glance, simply having Chen Xiao toss the idiot out.
Lin Miao’s mouth twitched a few times.
Was this fool really the rumored Young Master of the Sheng family?
She simply couldn’t bear to watch.
“Come here.”
With all the irrelevant people gone, even the servants had been dismissed.
The spacious living room now held only Lin Miao and Sheng Yanli.
Only then did Lin Miao realize how dangerous her current situation was.
Especially facing those unfathomable phoenix eyes of the man, Lin Miao instinctively felt a bit intimidated.
Remembering the purpose of her visit here, Lin Miao silently encouraged herself.
Can’t back down.
But her footsteps moved like a snail’s, unable to make any progress.
Sheng Yanli grew impatient and yanked the woman onto his lap in one motion.
His large hand gripped her chin. “Born a snail?”
Lin Miao pouted and mumbled in protest, “No, I’m a rabbit.”
“Pfft, no, I mean—my zodiac sign is the rabbit.”
Sheng Yanli let out a low chuckle. The little girl was truly adorably foolish.
Lin Miao caught the mockery in the man’s laugh, and her face instantly puffed up with anger.
She struggled to break free from his embrace.
She didn’t want him to hold her anymore.
Even a little rabbit had a temper.
The restless girl squirmed in his arms, the scent of crabapple blossoms wafting through the air.
Sheng Yanli’s phoenix eyes darkened. His large palm came down with a sharp smack on the girl’s round bottom.
“Behave.”
The man’s deep voice rang out in the spacious living room, punctuated by a crisp sound.
Lin Miao was momentarily stunned, only snapping back to reality when the sting on her bottom registered.
In an instant, her face flushed crimson.
She was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Every hair on her body standing on end.
“Sheng Yanli! You… you actually dared to spank me!”
The girl called him by his full name.
Clearly, she was furious.
Her cheeks burned with a mix of shame and indignation.
She struggled even harder to get up.
But she was firmly trapped in the man’s arms, no matter how she thrashed, it was useless.
The man watched her with leisurely amusement.
With a single hand, he subdued her resistance.
His other hand reached out and pinched her plump cheek.
He chuckled softly: “Silly rabbit.”
If he didn’t want to let go, struggling was futile.
Lin Miao gritted her teeth. This was nothing short of provocation.
She wouldn’t accept it!
She wanted to appeal!
She bit down on the man’s shoulder, her small teeth clamping onto the finely tailored fabric.
Though she couldn’t bite through it, she refused to let go.
No one had ever spanked Lin Miao’s bottom in her entire life.
This grudge she would definitely repay.
Feeling the pain radiating from his shoulder, the man merely raised an eyebrow, allowing the girl to do as she pleased.
He knew the girl’s temperament—she never let herself be wronged.
But when her soft tongue inadvertently grazed his collarbone—
The man’s body gave a slight shudder.
Veins bulged on his palm, as if he were holding back with great effort.
Yet the little troublemaker in his arms remained completely oblivious to all of it.
