Chapter 1072 - There’s a price to pay for taking advantage of a man
“Silly girl.” The smile on Ou Ming’s face faded. “You did very well.”
Hearing Ou Ming praise her again made Yu Lili feel flattered. With both hands folded on the table, she looked toward Ou Ming with her doe-like eyes and asked teasingly, “How are you going to reward me, then?”
“What reward do you want?”
Yu Lili’s widened her grin and replied, “Will you grant me anything?”
Ou Ming caught sight of her cunning expression, and his amusement increased. He nodded his head in affirmation. “As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll grant it to you.”
As long as it was within his ability, he would give it to her. Even if it wasn’t within his ability, he would still do his best to try.
When Yu Lili heard that, she smiled daintily. “Alright. It’s a promise then. When I’ve thought of something, I’ll let you know.”
“You don’t want it now?”
“Not now. We’ll discuss it next time.” Yu Lili got up and walked to the fridge. “Would you like some milk?”
Upon hearing the word “milk,” Ou Ming turned his head with a faint smile and asked, “Are you going to spike my drink again?”
Yu Lili turned away guiltily and with a light cough answered, “Don’t bring up what happened in the past.”
“It only happened recently.”
“Did it? Why does it feel so long ago to me?” Yu Lili retrieved two bottles of milk and presented one to Ou Ming. “You may drink it. I didn’t spike it.”
“Feed it to me.” Ou Ming put his chopsticks down and took out a tissue to wipe his lips. “Fed me, and I’ll forgive you for spiking my drink the last time.”
“And if I don’t feed you, will you not forgive me?” Yu Lili didn’t believe it. She bit her straw and looked at him playfully. “Forget it then. It doesn’t really matter to me.”
Ou Ming glimpsed her mischievous demeanor and stood up. He stalked over to her and declared. “Then I’m going to punish you.”
With the bottle of milk in hand, Yu Lili continued sipping her drink as she stepped backwards. She blinked at him and asked giddily, “What are you going to do?”
“Stop running away. Stay where you are.” Ou Ming made his way to her and attempted to reach for her. “There’s a price to pay for taking advantage of a man!”
Yu Lili assessed the situation. With the bottle of milk still in her hand, she retreated to the back and yelling, “I did not! You’ve been the one who’s always been bullying me!”
“You’re still answering back? Stop running away!” Ou Ming gave chase.
Yu Lili let out a cry of exclamation when she saw this and ran into the room, locking the door behind her.
Yu Lili let out a sigh of relief and put her bottle of milk down. “Great Mr. Ou! Have fun waiting outside!”
“Open the door, little girl, or else your punishment is going to be even more severe.” Humor could be heard in Ou Ming’s tone as he knocked on the door. “Open the door.”
“If you’re still going to punish me, I won’t come out!” Yu Lili snorted and made a turn about the room, putting the items she had kept away back in their original positions.
“Yu Lili, open the door.” Ou Ming was still knocking. Only after Yu Lili had positioned the digital screen back in its place did she open the door.
Upon opening the door, she noticed the tiredness etched on Ou Ming’s face. But his eyes were still bright and lively as they gazed at her lovingly.
When Yu Lili saw him, all the initial discontentment and unhappiness faded away.
Ou Ming pushed the door wide open, and cupping her face in his large hands, he locked her lips with his in a steady kiss.
