Chapter 378: Punishment (Part 2)

She thought back about it. “A few days ago, I passed by your boss’s study room at Yu Ting Villa and overheard his phone conversation. He said he was sending you to go swimming on the first day, to sleep in a cave on the second day, and to harvest honey on the third. There’s no way you could have ended up like this with that level of punishment, right?”

Liu Li had no tears left to cry. “Boss is a cultured and well-educated man. That was just an example of how he speaks in a graceful manner. In fact, the past three days went by like this. On the first day, I did go swimming but there was a fully grown shark swimming in the pool with me. It wasn’t big enough to swallow me whole but it kept pursuing after me and almost bit my limbs off. This is also my fault for not being strong enough to defeat a shark. When I was sent to harvest honey, I realised that a strange drug had been poured into the honeycombs. The instant I reached in to collect the honey, more than ten thousand bees rushed towards me and stung me till I became this swollen. It was also my fault for not knowing how to adapt. I wasn’t able to avoid all those bees.”

With despair in his voice, he continued recounting his experience. “The cave I had been sent to sleep in was also the home to more than ten thousand snakes. Every inch of the cave was filled with snakes. Although they weren’t venomous, there were far too many of them. I wouldn’t be afraid if there were only a few, but they all came rushing towards my body. Each time I shook one off, a few more would cling onto me…”

Fang Xinxin was dumbstruck. “Fuck! That’s even worse than dying!”

Liu Li agreed with this strongly. “It would be better if I had simply been shot to death. It wasn’t easy for me to return today… I was supposed to undergo three days of training. It’s only been two and a half days. I still had half a day left.”

She understood. “Earlier, I asked Bai Qinghao to call you here. It turns out that I accidentally did you a favour.”

“Liu Li has no way of repaying Madam for saving my life…” He was now willing to even repay her with his own body.

“Which means that after you’re done helping me, you’ll still have to return to your training.” She sighed.

As expected, the training that Bai Qinghao had personally arranged would be inhumanly cruel.

To think she even misunderstood that Bai Qinghao fooled her while secretly arranging a light punishment for Liu Li. It was truly a startling revelation!

Her heart now ached for Bai Qinghao, whom she had misunderstood…

“Madam, you might not know this but I’m deathly afraid of those big bees.” Liu Li gestured at himself as he shared his woes. “Look, look, those tens of thousands of bees left me utterly heartbroken. They transformed a living, handsome man into this fat pig. And those snakes. Just the sight of them makes my scalp prickle. I suppose only that shark in the pool can somewhat be considered cute. Won’t you ask Boss for mercy on my behalf? Can he please forget about the remaining punishment?”

Fang Xinxin originally hated Liu Li for his dirty mouth. However, seeing his pitiful sight and hearing the way he addressed her as ‘Madam’, she could not help but feel a rare hint of sympathy for him. “This will depend on your performance.”

“Yes, I will definitely perform well.” Liu Li immediately nodded.

“Strip then.” Fang Xinxin carelessly responded.

Liu Li hesitated for a moment… but still took off his own coat.

Fang Xinxin glared at him. “Who asked you to take off your own clothes?”

Was she asking him to take hers off? Liu Li sized her up. He did not expect that, after losing weight, she would think to mess around behind Boss’s back so quickly.

And to think that the unlucky person she had chosen was him.

Fang Xinxin watched as he stood dazedly without moving. She spoke sternly≥ “Do you still want to be stung by the bees and eaten by snakes?”

“Of course not. But…” Liu Li cried out internally. He couldn’t betray his boss.

As a subordinate, sleeping with his employer’s woman was an unforgivable act.

“Look at the way you’re hesitating! Either you strip or you scram! I originally planned on speaking up for you in front of Bai Qinghao.” Fang Xinxin shot him a look of disdain. “I guess you don’t need it anymore?”
