Free Web NovelChapter 158: Chapter 158: Kneel
When it came to math, Wen Yaozu had to start over from elementary school. The sixth-grade problems were a good match for his current level, and the difficulty would only increase from there.
"A state-run restaurant?" Wen Yaozu’s eyes widened like saucers in astonishment. He gulped. "Sis, you’ve really struck it rich selling your wares."
"Something like that."
Wen Ci raised an eyebrow.
She had done the math carefully. Once she sold all two hundred thousand yuan worth of goods she had, after deducting the costs for shipping, warehousing, and the truck...
...she would earn at least a hundred thousand yuan.
While a hundred thousand yuan might not be much in the Southern region, Wen Ci was satisfied. She had her startup capital, so she wouldn’t have to pinch pennies anymore.
This time, she had also gotten to know Xu Jinghe by riding on Huo Jingyuan’s coattails.
Wen Yaozu said excitedly, "Then I’ll go study right now."
With that, he marched straight into the living room, turned off the television, and started looking at his elementary school arithmetic problems. The sixth-grade curriculum gradually introduced concepts from junior high math.
He had never paid attention in class his whole life, so now he had to learn it all on his own.
The moment Wen Yaozu left, Huo Jingyuan lifted the blanket. He deliberately traced a finger down the line of his abs, his searing gaze fixed on Wen Ci.
"Darling, how about..."
"Get lost."
Seeing the desire in his eyes, Wen Ci knew exactly what he was thinking and what he was about to say. "In broad daylight? Don’t even think about it."
"So you knew I was going to suggest some broad daylight debauch—"
"Get lost."
It wasn’t that Wen Ci was against doing it during the day. It was just that Wen Yaozu was still home. Besides, even now, she didn’t dare do *that* with Huo Jingyuan with the lights on.
Suddenly, Huo Jingyuan clutched his wound, his brow furrowed in pain.
Thinking he had aggravated his wound, Wen Ci leaned over to check on him. But he caught her off guard, moving in close and pressing his lips against her ear.
A tingling sensation shot through Wen Ci’s ear.
"Just kidding. I’m fine."
She shivered and quickly pulled away from his lips. She swatted at his abs in frustration, muttering petulantly, "Do you really have to joke about things like that?"
Still not satisfied, Wen Ci flicked his abs. "That’s for tricking me, and that’s for tricking me! If you ever trick me like that again, I’ll... I’ll take a bandage and tie you up."
Huo Jingyuan’s gaze turned scorching, and his lips curled into a smirk. "So, darling, you like tying me up."
He leaned back in his chair and clasped his hands together, his eyes full of seduction and his tone lazily casual. "I give you my permission. You can tie me up with the bandages."
Wen Ci shot him a speechless look.
’I can’t believe this shameless man actually has a kink like that.’

「Meanwhile, at the Jiang family’s home」
Jiang Chen had been called back.
He had been ordered home by his brigade leader.
Jiang Chen kicked off his shoes in frustration. ’I’m a grown man, and my parents still have to resort to this just to get me home? How humiliating!’
On the sofa, Mr. Jiang sat with an irate expression. Hearing his son shuffling his feet, he shot him a look and suddenly roared, "Kneel!"
"What did I do?"
"Kneel."
In the Jiang Family, Mr. Jiang’s word was law. Even though Jiang Chen had no idea what he’d done wrong, he knelt on the living room floor after his father’s second roar.
Jiang Chen demanded, confused, "Did you call me all the way back here just to make me kneel? What did I do? You can’t just make me kneel for no reason. Dad, you at least have to give me an explanation, right?"
"What did you do yesterday?"
"I didn’t do anything!"
The words had barely left his mouth when he remembered. Yesterday, at the family compound’s cafeteria, he’d heard someone was selling clothes. He had taken Ye Zi to the main gate to check it out, only to discover the seller was Wen Ci.
Jiang Chen laughed bitterly. "Did she run to you and tattle?"
