Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online-Chapter 23 A Troublesome Little Girl_1

Ye Chenxing bit her lower lip in inner turmoil, grappling with what he truly wanted and why he had chosen her.

Chenxing stood in front of the mirror, the reflection showed a person who wasn’t fair-skinned, instead having a yellowish tinge, very thin, underdeveloped due to insufficient nutrition during growth period, small in stature, and small chest... Such a man should find better women, what on earth did he see in her? 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Earlier, he had almost... but at the very last moment, he spared her. Why? She quickly took a shower, crawled on the bed like an ostrich, but with so many thoughts crowding her mind, she was too worried to fall asleep.

Gu Shaocheng had also been awake all night, with a bedside lamp on, lying in bed leisurely perusing a book on corporate law in German. He noticed the light in the adjacent room was sometimes on, sometimes off, which puzzled him. Putting down his book, he walked over.

Pushing open the door that separated them, he saw Chenxing walking towards the bed from the desk with a book in her hands. He caught a glimpse of her panic and unconsciously, the corners of his mouth hooked into a slight smile.

Couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and learning to read from him?

She really was a troublesome little lass.

"You? What are you doing?" Chenxing quickly squatted down, hiding behind the bed, exposing only a timid little head.

Helplessly, Gu Shaocheng walked over and lifted her up.

She scrunched her brows, the tremor in her eyes betraying her great tension.

Pulling the book from her hands, Gu Shaocheng glanced at the title, ’Introduction to Accounting.’ He frowned slightly, asking, "Staying up late to study? Are you diligent because you’re afraid I’ll smack your butt if you don’t score ninety percent?"

At the mention of smacking her butt, Chenxing felt hot in the head, she instinctively shrank back, but couldn’t resist his hand. Helplessly, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Then, she resignedly said, "I... I can’t sleep."

"Why can’t you sleep?"

Seeing her pitiful look, Gu Shaocheng released his grip and casually sat on the bed. He was unaware that his every move exuded an imperious presence, making Chenxing, standing in front of him, feel like a child who had made a mistake, standing before her parents.

"Why not say anything?" Gu Shaocheng has a touch of helplessness in his eyes, but his tone remains impassive, "Right, if you don’t score well, I will spank you."

Ye Chenxing’s wide eyes quivered, her lips pursed, "I will study hard."

Grinning, he flipped through her book, found a page with notes and annotations, and casually asked her a question from the book, "If you can’t answer, I’ll spank you."

"Ah?" She bit her lip in panic, her heartbeat accelerated, wracking her brain to think, but she really didn’t know. She had only attended two classes, how could she remember the point he asked, she wasn’t a speed-reading genius.

Of course, Gu Shaocheng knew she wouldn’t be able to answer, seeing her little face twisted in anxiety, a playful smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

His voice, casual as if discussing the weather, brooked no refusal, "Turn around, I’ve to punish you."

Chenxing bit her red lips softly, a thread of embarrassment and shyness crept onto her cheeks.

But Gu Shaocheng turned a blind eye. Seeing that she didn’t move after a while, he reached out, gently pulled her and pressed her onto his lap. He then raised his hand and delivered a resounding smack onto her buttocks.
