Chapter 42: Shameful

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

After returning home, Luo Songran lingered at the entrance for a long time. The thought of what was about to happen next made his lower back tighten involuntarily. Being spanked was just too humiliating! And the fact that Duan Yizhou demanded he say those words himself made his whole body tingle with nervousness. When did this man become like this? He’s so insidious!

He hugged the wall at the entrance, feeling utterly helpless. What kind of mess had he gotten himself into?

“Come here.” A mature and deep voice echoed in the living room. With just two words, Luo Songran felt a peculiar sensation in his ears, as if half of his body was tingling.

Hearing this, Luo Songran raised his gaze and saw Duan Yizhou sitting elegantly on the brown sofa, legs crossed, black shirt slightly open, gold-rimmed glasses adding a touch of refinement. Under the influence of those words, he somehow looked like a refined scoundrel.

Swallowing hard, Luo Songran gave up leaning against the wall and took small steps toward Duan Yizhou, muttering to himself, “I feel so embarrassed…”

Duan Yizhou heard him but pretended not to, as he quite enjoyed teasing Luo Songran in this way. He smiled and asked, “What?”

“I said!” Luo Songran stood in front of Duan Yizhou, hands on his hips, and said, “I feel it’s embarrassing for me to still be spanked at my age!”

Duan Yizhou suppressed the curve of his lips, “It’s not that I want to spank you, it’s that you asked me to spank you.”

Luo Songran widened his eyes, feeling thoroughly unjust as Duan Yizhou twisted the truth. Trembling, he pointed a finger, “You—you—you—”

“Shall I go tell Director Luo?” Duan Yizhou made it as if to stand up.

“Hey hey hey—!” Luo Songran quickly hugged Duan Yizhou’s waist, feeling wronged. “It was me who asked you to spank me, isn’t that enough?”

Turning around, Duan Yizhou took hold of Luo Songran’s hand and looked down at him, noticing his unhappy expression. “You’re unwilling to pacify me like this?”

With Duan Yizhou’s reminder, Luo Songran suddenly remembered his current situation. Oh, right, why was he unhappy? He deserved it. He looked at Duan Yizhou cautiously and immediately put on a smile, reaching out to touch his chest.

“No, I’m willing, very willing. Come, please sit down.” Saying so, he helped Duan Yizhou back to the sofa. His actions were servile, afraid that this man would actually complain to his dad.

The moment Duan Yizhou sat down, he was pulled onto his lap, and before he could react, he was already seated on Duan Yizhou’s legs, facing each other.

“Well, go ahead,” Duan Yizhou said, holding the little guy on his lap, his big hand protecting his lower back, looking up at him.

Suddenly, the close proximity made Luo Songran nervous. He lowered his head directly into Duan Yizhou’s gaze, and his brain began to malfunction. Deep, profound, with an affection that couldn’t be ignored. Thump thump thump—his heart raced unusually fast.

Hey, Duan Yizhou, could you not look at me like that? I’m getting dizzy from staring too long.

“Baby, comfort me,” Duan Yizhou tilted his head back, gently gazing at the little guy in his arms. He noticed the faint red marks starting to appear on his neck and began to soothe the somewhat melancholic emotions in his heart.

Perhaps the little guy didn’t necessarily have no feelings for him. People liked to appreciate beauty, and after love at first sight, it was natural to develop affection over time.

Listening to Duan Yizhou’s deep voice again in his ear, it sounded casual, but when he called him ‘baby’, it carried a different meaning. The ambiguous atmosphere was intensified by the close distance between them.

He lowered his gaze, brewing extremely embarrassed emotions. Then he slowly placed his hand on Duan Yizhou’s shoulder, pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, “Husband, I’m sorry, please…please spank me.”

Ah!!!!!

Duan Yizhou looked at the blush spreading across the little guy’s face, finding it so pleasing to the eye that he couldn’t look away. Not to mention the embarrassment and trembling with which he said those words. He resisted the urge to raise the corners of his lips too much. The more rebellious the little guy usually was, the more he wanted to tease him when he acted shy.

“I can’t hear you.” 

Luo Songran stared wide-eyed, his eyes turning red with anger. Just as he was about to speak up in anger, he remembered it was his own fault. He lowered his head in frustration and said softly, “Husband, I’m sorry, please spank me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the hand that had been protecting his lower back move. The broad palm touched the thin fabric, warmth gradually spreading as it moved downward. Luo Songran’s lower back suddenly tightened, and he didn’t dare to move his body.

“…Don’t, don’t I have to lie down?” His speech was starting to stutter because of his nervousness. Why was he so nervous?

Then he heard Duan Yizhou’s deep laughter in his ear. This laugh made him tremble all over, an indescribable feeling like waves brushing against his feet, a gentle probe before a huge wave arrives.

“How could I bear to let you lie down?” Duan Yizhou felt Luo Songran’s reaction change, the corners of his lips slightly down, and as he spoke, his hand fell.

With a crisp sound, very clear. And it even bounced a bit.

At that moment, Luo Songran’s back stiffened as he was spanked while sitting like that. Instantly, a wave of shame and pain overwhelmed his rationality. His brain lost the ability to scream, and he felt an unprecedented sadness. He banged his forehead against Duan Yizhou’s shoulder repeatedly, “Wuwuwuwu, you’re hitting me…how can you bully me like this…wuwuwuwu…”

Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he held the little guy in his arms.

Hearing Duan Yizhou laugh, Luo Songran instantly became furious. He sat up straight, grabbed Duan Yizhou’s ear, and said, “What are you laughing at?!”

“I’m laughing because you’re cute,” Duan Yizhou held Luo Songran’s hand and pressed it against his chest, “Well, baby knows how to comfort people. Husband has been comforted by you.”

Seeing Duan Yizhou use this to mock him, Luo Songran felt like he wanted to find a hole to hide in. He felt so ashamed and embarrassed. He, Luo Songran, was someone with a reputation outside, yet he was being bullied like this by Duan Yizhou. How could he endure it?!

Without saying a word, he hooked his arm around Duan Yizhou’s neck and then pushed the man down onto the sofa. But just as he was about to overpower Duan Yizhou, he was suddenly flipped over by an unexpected force. He ended up lying on the sofa, with Duan Yizhou grabbing his wrist and pressing it above his head, pinning him down.

Luo Songran’s hands were held by Duan Yizhou and he couldn’t move. His legs were also being pressed down, making it impossible for him to move an inch. He became even more angry, glaring at Duan Yizhou. “Duan Yizhou! How dare you bully me like this! I-I’m pregnant!”

“I was afraid you might hurt your belly the way you were just now,” Duan Yizhou’s deep voice sounded in his ear. The firm arm supporting him felt warm, and his slightly rapid breath accompanied the intimate rhythm. Although his words were gentle, the proximity brought an indescribable intimacy.

At the same time, there was an increasingly excited heartbeat. Luo Songran’s gaze followed Duan Yizhou’s lips as they opened and closed. His eyes flickered slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he subconsciously swallowed, feeling momentarily dazed when he met Duan Yizhou’s gentle gaze, as if he were drowning in it.

It seemed like he was getting more and more distracted when facing Duan Yizhou. This face… seemed even more charming than before. It made him want to kiss him.

Luo Songran cautiously raised his gaze, and his lips involuntarily moved closer. But at that moment, Duan Yizhou suddenly moved away, and the warmth and intimacy disappeared abruptly, leaving Luo Songran feeling incredibly irritated.

“…” Damn.

Duan Yizhou calmly took in all of Luo Songran’s expressions, then released him and sat up. “I was worried you’d fall on top of me just now. Anyway, I’m happy now.”

Luo Songran felt a little angry, but he felt embarrassed to express his thoughts. He lay on the sofa, sulking, with his legs crossed, and kicked Duan Yizhou’s legs, who was sitting behind him. He stared at the ceiling with folded arms, “Now I’m angry.”

Duan Yizhou grabbed Luo Songran’s restless legs and laughed, “Then shall I take you out to play?”

Did this little guy want to kiss him earlier? That look, as if he wanted to devour him, made him feel dry in his mouth.

“Heh, I’m not a little girl. How could playing possibly appease me?”

“How about buying a new car?”

“Even if we buy a new car—” Luo Songran suddenly sat up, looking at Duan Yizhou in surprise, then his expression brightened instantly, “That’s possible. Can we drive it?”

“No.”

Luo Songran’s expression immediately fell, “Then there’s nothing that can appease me.”

“What about a visit to the sports car museum?”

“What?” Luo Songran asked curiously.

Duan Yizhou sat at the end of the sofa, beckoning to Luo Songran with a smile, “Come here and I’ll tell you what it is.”

Luo Songran hurried over, but just as he was about to reach him, Duan Yizhou hugged him and sat him on his lap. Luo Songran inwardly complained, wondering why this man liked to hold him so much.

“It’s a sports car museum owned by a friend of mine. He probably has the largest collection of limited edition sports cars in the world. Would you like to go?”

Hearing the words “limited edition,” Luo Songran’s eyes lit up, “Of course!”

“Give me a kiss, and I’ll take you there.”

Luo Songran clicked his tongue, “You’ve had enough.”

“Then are we not going?”

Luo Songran lifted Duan Yizhou’s face and quickly planted a few kisses on it, saying, “I want to go, I want to go. Is this enough?”

Seeing how naturally Luo Songran kissed him, Duan Yizhou suddenly felt a bit suspicious. “Do you kiss everyone like this?”

“No way,” Luo Songran looked at Duan Yizhou inexplicably, “What’s wrong with you?”

Duan Yizhou was amused by Luo Songran’s reaction. “Nothing, I’ll take you after the meeting.”

“Huh? You still have a meeting?”

“Yeah, I pushed it back to go for the premarital checkup. It’s a quick online meeting.” Duan Yizhou stood up with Luo Songran in his arms and headed towards the elevator. “You wait here, and then we’ll leave, okay?”

Luo Songran rubbed his chin, pondering. “Okay then.”

In the study, Duan Yizhou was in a video conference, but he glanced at the little guy on the sofa who was waiting for him to leave. Perhaps feeling a bit bored, he suddenly saw this guy standing on the sofa trying to reach something on the bookshelf. When he stood up, he might have lost his balance, and Duan Yizhou’s expression instantly darkened.

Facing the sofa was a small bookshelf, and Luo Songran found a car magazine he liked on it. Since he was bored waiting for Duan Yizhou, he had to find something to pass the time.

“Luo Songran!”

As he stood on the sofa, suddenly a stern reprimand came from behind, startling him. He almost lost his balance, so he quickly grabbed the wall for support. Then, he turned around in disbelief, “Why are you so fierce? You scared me.”

Duan Yizhou lowered his head and ended the video conference, then stood up and walked to the sofa with a stern expression, lifting Luo Songran from the sofa.

“Do you not know you’re pregnant? You almost fell just now, you scared me.” He placed Luo Songran back on the carpet, his tone stern, “Try not to climb high places during early pregnancy, understand?”

Luo Songran plopped back on the sofa, “Duan Yizhou, you insisted that I wait for you to finish your meeting. Was I not allowed to look at things to pass the time?”

“You can, but you can’t climb high.” Duan Yizhou knelt in front of him, holding his ankle to help him put on his shoes. “You can ask me to get things for you. Let’s go out now.”

“Do you have time? And you said to ask you, but you didn’t care even when my stomach was growling.” Luo Songran looked down as the man put on his shoes for him, “I don’t tie my shoelaces like that. You’ve forgotten again.”

A bit annoyed, he bent down to do it himself.

“No bending over.” Duan Yizhou frowned, “Sit properly.”

Luo Songran pouted, “You’re so controlling. I don’t want this baby anymore.” This was purely impulsive, and after saying it, he cautiously glanced at Duan Yizhou.

As expected—

“Then I’ll have to go talk to Mr. Luo and the lawyer about your problem.”

Luo Songran glared at Duan Yizhou, “Are you threatening me again? I’m still mad about the spanking just now!”

Duan Yizhou finished tying Luo Songran’s shoes, then said calmly, “I’m not threatening you. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll have to tell Mr. Luo to come and educate you.”

“You’re really childish, always threatening me with my Dad.” Luo Songran gritted his teeth, feeling irritated. He was afraid of Dad, after all. Dad’s punches hurt a lot.

“Whatever you say, if you don’t want them to know, can you behave?” Duan Yizhou stood up and reached out to Luo Songran.

Luo Songran glared fiercely at Duan Yizhou, his eyes red with anger. Actually, he wasn’t misbehaving. He just found it annoying that Duan Yizhou always used this to threaten him, as if he didn’t trust him. Didn’t he already behave well recently? He went home early when he said he would, and he didn’t drive. He even started to doubt why he was so obedient.

“Can you behave?” Duan Yizhou asked again.

Luo Songran swallowed his anger, “Fine.” 

Endure, endure, endure for the sake of peace. But his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

“I can’t hear you.”

Luo Songran couldn’t hold back anymore. He stood up and shouted into Duan Yizhou’s ear, “I CAN!!!” 

After yelling, he glared at Duan Yizhou, looking like he wanted to devour him.

Seeing the guy suddenly get angry and cry again, Duan Yizhou couldn’t help but sigh. How could there be a boy who was both fierce and prone to crying? Really pampered. He ruffled the little guy’s hair, “Alright, alright, I didn’t mean to scold you. Don’t get angry all the time. It’s not good for the baby.”

Luo Songran lowered his gaze and coldly snorted, “Then stop threatening me all the time. I don’t like it.”

“Alright, I won’t say it anymore. Can we go, leader?” Duan Yizhou put his arm around Luo Songran’s shoulder and walked out of the study.

Luo Songran raised an eyebrow, “That’s more like it.”

Duan Yizhou thought, this guy only allows the officials to light the fire but not the common people. When can this commoner rise up to become a landlord? Should be soon, right?
