Chapter 172 - 117: I’m a Good Wife and Loving Mother, I Have to Listen to My Lover-Husband
It was already midnight when Xu Yun got home.
He stood at his door for a few seconds, then decided against going in and went straight to the apartment next door instead.
Then, he tried entering the password.
It unlocked.
Using the faint light from his phone screen, Xu Yun slipped inside. It was pitch-black; everyone was asleep.
It was his first time doing something like this, and his heart was racing, but he still found his way to Li Jinshu’s bedroom door with practiced ease.
He reached out and tried the doorknob.
Xu Yun paused.
Shit. It was locked.
’Should I go back, or keep going?’
He hesitated for three seconds, then sent Li Jinshu a text and called her. He let it ring twice before hanging up.
Inside, Li Jinshu had just fallen asleep when the phone call woke her.
She was about to curse whoever was calling her in the middle of the night when she suddenly saw Xu Yun’s name on the screen.
’Xu Yun is calling me?’
Then, she saw an unread text from Xu Yun.
"Open the door."
Li Jinshu: "???"
Confused, she texted back on WeChat: "Which door?"
Xu Yun: "Your bedroom door."
Li Jinshu: "..."
She froze for a second, then carefully got out of bed, crept to her bedroom door, and turned the deadbolt.
Hearing the lock click, Xu Yun quickly turned the knob from the outside.
The door opened instantly.
He pushed the door open just a crack, slipped inside, and quickly shut it behind him.
In the faint light of the dark room, Li Jinshu stared at Xu Yun, who had suddenly appeared in her bedroom, still a little dumbfounded.
"How did you get in?"
"Never you mind."
Xu Yun hoisted her over his shoulder, gave her a smack on the butt, and said, "Let’s see how I’m going to teach you a lesson tonight!"
Li Jinshu: "..."
There were people in the bedrooms on both sides of hers; she was right in the middle.
Caught off guard by Xu Yun’s sudden punishment, Li Jinshu winced but didn’t dare make a sound.
Xu Yun, however, went even further, actually forcing her to call him ’Daddy’.
’So humiliating!’
Every time she opened her mouth, she had trouble controlling the volume of her voice. She cried out loudly several times, and had no idea if her neighbors heard anything.
They didn’t sleep all night. Seven times.
As dawn was breaking, a fully satisfied Xu Yun quietly took his leave.
Li Jinshu lay in bed, completely exhausted.
However, having learned her lesson from the previous time, she was in much better shape. At least getting out of bed wasn’t a problem, she just couldn’t take large strides.
The next morning, Li Jinshu was the last one to get up.
Seeing her walking stiffly, Su Mu asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with you now?"
"I accidentally did the splits getting out of bed again," Li Jinshu said.
Su Mu asked, "How is it?"
"It’s nothing. It’ll be fine after half a day."
"Why are you so into doing the splits lately?"
Su Mu couldn’t help but laugh. "What, are you training to do a full split?"
"Oh, come on, stop teasing me."
Li Jinshu said, "It still hurts."
"By the way, were you talking in your sleep last night?"
Su Mu asked, "I think I heard you call out for your dad a few times. It was really loud, but it sounded a bit strange... almost like you were being spanked."
"Yeah, I think I heard that too."
Yu Xuan came out of the kitchen with breakfast, adding, "I thought I must have misheard."
"Huh?"
Li Jinshu’s face flushed. She said guiltily, "I guess I was having a nightmare. I dreamt my dad was spanking me, and it really hurt."
"Oh, so that’s what it was."
Su Mu laughed. "I’ve lived with you for so long, and this is the first time I’ve ever heard you sleep-talk so loudly."
"Sorry for disturbing you guys."
Li Jinshu immediately changed the subject. "Susu, didn’t you say you were going on a blind date today?"
"It’s a shame I can’t really move around well right now, otherwise I’d go with you."
"It’s fine, I can go by myself."
Su Mu replied, "I’ll probably head out in a bit. What about you, Yu Xuan? When are you leaving?"
"I don’t know. I’m waiting for the boss, but he isn’t up yet."
"He’s back?"
"Mhm, I went over to check this morning. It looks like he’s back and is still asleep."
"He probably pulled another all-nighter. The poor guy must be exhausted."
Su Mu added meaningfully, "I bet that female coach of his will have to take the day off, too."
"COUGH, COUGH..."
Li Jinshu, who was in the middle of drinking some water, choked.
’Susu, I’m the one he exhausted, not the female coach!’
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Yu Xuan got up to open the door and found a sales associate in a Louis Vuitton uniform standing outside.
"Hello, Miss Yu. Your clothes have been altered. Please take a look. If there are no issues, we’ll be on our way."
"Okay, please come in. I’ll go try them on."
Yu Xuan invited the two associates inside, said a quick word to Su Mu and Li Jinshu, and then went to her room to change.
A moment later, she came out wearing the custom-altered clothes.
Everything fit perfectly.
Li Jinshu and Su Mu were both stunned when they saw her.
Yu Xuan herself was also very pleased. She smiled and said, "It’s great. No problems at all. Thank you for your hard work."
"Of course, Miss Yu. It was our pleasure." With that, the two associates turned and left.
Li Jinshu looked at Yu Xuan in confusion. "Louis Vuitton does house calls?"
"Apparently so."
Yu Xuan said, "This is the first I’ve heard of it, too."
"These luxury brands offer that kind of service for their top VIP clients,"
Su Mu, who knew more about these things, explained. She then asked, "That piece must be from their current season’s collection, right?"
"Mhm."
"How much was it?"
Yu Xuan replied, "I don’t know the exact price, I didn’t ask. Anyway, with the bag I got yesterday, the total came to 320,000."
"How much?!"
Li Jinshu asked in astonishment, "You’re saying one dress and one bag cost 320,000?"
"Mhm."
