Chapter 24

Slap.

A slap resounded in the room.

Xiao Qingcheng didn't have any time to react when she was pressed to the desk and a hand hurt her!

As she was hit in her private place, her body subconsciously leaned forward!

A hot numbing pain soon followed after!

Her beautiful pair of eyes turned misty with pain clearly evident in them!

How dare Li Mubai hit her ass!

"You... What are you doing?!"

Xiao Qingcheng was embarrassed and felt humiliated!

Quickly turned her head away with tears dripping down her beautiful eyes, she gave Li Mubai an aggrieved look.

"President Xiao, Could it be that you still haven't figured out the situation you're now in?"

Li Mubai coldly smiled at her with teasing eyes.

"I know..."

Gritting her teeth, Xiao Qingcheng said in a hateful voice.

"Since you know, don't you still understand?"

"This slap is your punishment for not welcoming this young master's return!"

As Li Mubai's cold words were heard, another slap resounded in the study room.

"This slap is your punishment for getting distracted doing insignificant things during your working hours despite being this young master's personal maid!"

Slap...

The desk shook slightly.

Xiao Qingcheng clenched her teeth.

"What I did was not insignificant. Qingcheng Group is my heart and soul!"

Slap.

Another slap.

The desk continued to shake.

The laptop that was pressed between Xiao Qingcheng and the desk slid to the ground and broke open.

"This slap is your punishment for daring to talk back to your master despite being the maid!"

"Li Mubai, you bastard!"

Looking at the Project plan that she had just revised, destroyed along with the laptop on the ground, tears rolled down Xiao Qingcheng's eyes.

Even though her look could arouse pity, Li Mubai didn't have the least bit of heartache seeing her.

Slap...

He landed yet another slap on her.

"This slap is your punishment for calling your Master by name!"

[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior caused Xiao Qingcheng to feel resentment towards you, rewarding 300+ Villain points!]

[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior caused Xiao Qingcheng to feel immense humiliation, rewarding 400+ Villain points!]

[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior caused Xiao Qingcheng to feel aggrieved, rewarding 500+ Villain points!]

...

Only after Li Mubai harvested another wave of Villain points did he let go of Xiao Qingcheng.

At this moment, this Ice-cold beauty was lying on the desk.

On her exquisite face, tears slowly rolled over her cheeks.

If anyone sees this scene, they would feel pity towards her. But Li Mubai didn't even spare her a glance.

He turned around and began to make his way out of the study room. His cold voice soon followed after.

"This is all for today. This young master is tired. Come over and give this young master a bath..."

...

Well...

...

...

Two days later.

Morning.

Li Mubai was resting on a comfortable Taishi armchair on the balcony. (TL: The Taishi Armchair used to be a symbol of power and status. It was put in the palace and yamen (government offices in feudal China) for officials.)

Dong Xue was skillfully giving him a massage behind him.

Xiao Qingcheng, at the side, wore Mai Shiranui's outfit.

Ahem...

The very first edition...

She was feeding him grapes.

...

After these two days of 'educating' and 'toying' with her a few times... he was successful in tearing away this Ice-cold maid's disguise mask.

She let go of her previous perfunctory maid-like smile and peculiar way of speaking.

Instead, she now turned into a 'submissive' maid.

Of course. It was still only on the surface.

As for how Xiao Qingcheng felt inside, Li Mubai knows more than anyone that she must be extremely resentful of him.

But this was what makes Li Mubai find her interesting.

After all, if Xiao Qingcheng suddenly turned submissive to him, he would be bored with her.

With his status, he could get himself many beautiful women that are willing to be submissive to him.

But he couldn't find someone like Xiao Qingcheng, an Ice-cold beauty who was cold deep down.

...

Well...

Li Mubai leisurely swallowed yet another grape fed by Xiao Qingcheng to his mouth.

He must admit that Xiao Qingcheng, a well-known Ice-cold beauty of Jinghai, not only had a beautiful face and figure, even her hands were also extremely attractive.

If he did not touch her snow-white slender fingers, it would indeed be a pity...

....

Li Mubai was quite looking forward to it.

Well...

In fact, it wasn't that impossible to touch her...

From what he had done for these two days, his intentions were pretty much the same.

Li Mubai only wanted to continue to toy with her.

As he was thinking to himself, a prompt message from his 'Intelligent Optical Brain' rang in the mind.

[Ding! Cautioning the host, Protagonist Ye Xuan has been detected in the surroundings...]

...

"Huh... He's finally here?..."

Li Mubai's eyes lit up.

He let Ye Xuan live two more days for nothing. It was now time for him to harvest...
